My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Your Highness, harmony is important in class. How can we allow you to do whatever you want?" Qin Huang found a topic to refute Chang An.

"Whether I am reckless or not is not your decision." Chang An said at this time, "If the three of you intend to cause trouble, someone will chase you away. But if the three of you intend to stay and listen to the trial, it is not impossible."

The three of them became even angrier now, so they simply sat aside and said, "Let's see what you can say today!"

Chang An took one last glance at them, then turned to Li Ying and said, "Your Highness, what class would you like to take today?"

"Well... let's talk about the article." Li Ying flipped through her desk and took out Chang An's "textbook" at that time. "Let's talk about this today. I don't understand it."

Chang An frowned slightly at this time, took the book, and found that it had been flipped and wrinkled, and there were some annotations in many places. Then he asked: "Your Majesty, did you study all this by yourself?"

Li Ying nodded, and then Chang An said, "Forget it, I'll start from the beginning."

"The first lesson is about "Fu on Afang Palace", and the class is over after that."

Li Ying had no objection, but when he saw Chang An's frown deepening as he turned the pages of the book, he felt a little nervous for the first time because of someone else - except Li Longji.

"Please, sir."

Chang An simply closed the textbook and put it back on the table. He did not start explaining the article right away, but instead asked, "Your Highness, I see a lot of annotations and corrections in the book, I guess you must have read it through and studied it."

"Yes."

"Then please tell us what you think first, Your Highness." Chang An put his hands behind his back and began to pace in the room, listening to Li Ying's words.

Li Ying then said seriously: "This is about the way to govern a country. As a king, you should care for the people and show kindness, and you should not be arrogant, extravagant, and licentious."

"What then?" Chang An asked when he saw that Li Ying stopped talking.

Li Ying just shook his head, apparently he didn't know. So Chang An said, "In addition to the way to govern the country, Your Highness should know how to learn from history."

"The First Emperor was arrogant and extravagant, and spent all his manpower and financial resources just to build the Afang Palace. May I ask, Your Highness, what does this mean?" Chang An was not in a hurry to explain it all in one breath, but asked this.

"Or, in other words, why did the First Emperor build the Afang Palace?"

Li Ying held his chin and began to think seriously, then said: "Because after the original Qin King Ying Zheng became the first emperor, he was complacent and thought that the world was peaceful, and then he embarked on the path of corruption."

"Not bad." Chang An then felt a little satisfied. This prince has a very high level of comprehension.

"Since Your Highness can interpret yourself to this extent, I will start explaining it to Your Highness directly." Chang An said, and started to talk according to the memory in his mind from the first paragraph "Six kings are gone, four seas are one, the mountains of Shu are steep, and Afang Palace emerges."

At the beginning of the front-end part, Li Ying still felt "smug" because the content of his annotations was similar to what Chang An said. But at this time, Chang An suddenly picked out a sentence:

"The collections of Yan and Zhao, the management of Han and Wei, the elite of Qi and Chu, after several generations and years, they have been plundered and piled up like mountains."

"Your Majesty, what do you think these two sentences mean?"

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then said: "The rare treasures collected by Yan and Zhao, the wealth managed by Han and Wei, and the treasures treasured by Qi and Chu were all plundered by the King of Qin and eventually piled up like a mountain."

Chang An laughed at this moment, as this was exactly what he wanted - because he had translated it this way back then. He remembered the translation of this sentence most clearly.

"In general, it is correct, but Your Highness must remember that this phrase 'plundered' does not mean that the King of Qin plundered the people. It means that the six countries of Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qi and Chu plundered the people from their own countries." Chang An said with a smile.

Li Ying was stunned for a moment and asked, "But isn't this article about the Qin State? Why does it also focus on the other six states?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "If it is only about the Qin State, why do you have to say 'It was the six states that destroyed the six states, not Qin'? Because although it is about the destruction of the Qin State, the main theme is the story of the destruction of a country."

"Since it is destroyed, then are the other six countries also destroyed?"

Li Ying nodded.

"If it counts, why can't it be written in? And the most important thing is that the reasons for the destruction of these two are the same." Chang An explained. At this time, he turned around, but found that there was no blackboard behind him, so he had to give up.

......

"Since there is nothing important to report, let's adjourn the court." Li Longji announced while sitting on the dragon throne.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Li Longji stood up and left the hall. He asked, "Eunuch Cheng, is today the day that Marquis Dingkang officially takes office?"

"Your Majesty, that's right." Eunuch Cheng nodded.

"Then let's go and take a look. It's a good opportunity to see if Li Ying is really studying hard." Upon hearing this, Li Longji turned around and walked towards the Prince's Palace.

"Your Majesty, are you afraid that Marquis Dingkang will lead you astray?" Eunuch Cheng asked at this time. "Marquis Dingkang is not that kind of person. Your Majesty does not need to worry."

Li Longji said: "I am not worried that Marquis Dingkang will lead Ying'er astray, but that Marquis Dingkang will be led astray by Ying'er!"

"Although Marquis Dingkang is resourceful and looks like a genius, you also know the relationship between him and Ying'er. He has always been indulgent towards Ying'er. I am afraid that he will go out with Ying'er and do something crazy. I am worried about this!"

Eunuch Cheng was stunned and stopped talking.

Following Li Longji to the door of the Prince's Palace, his Majesty suddenly slowed down his pace and then looked inside the house furtively.

When Su Mang, Zheng Zhu and Qin Huang saw Li Longji, they were about to stand up. However, the latter raised his hand, signaling them not to act rashly. The three of them had to regain their composure and continue to listen to Chang An's lecture. Chang An and his companions did not care about the strangeness of the three old men and continued to lecture.

"Mencius said: 'If one rejoices in the joy of the people, the people will also rejoice in his joy; if one worries about the worries of the people, the people will also worry about his worries. If one rejoices in the world and worries about the world, but does not rule, there has never been anyone."

Chang An said: "The Fu of Afang Palace is not only about the way to govern a country, but more about describing a truth - that is: the prosperity of a country and the strength of its people must be based on the people."

"By learning from history, we can understand the rise and fall of dynasties. By summarizing the lessons of the rise and fall of previous dynasties, we can also review our own gains and losses in politics and make better choices."

Li Ying nodded, and then suddenly asked:

"But after reading your article, I went back to look at the "On the Fall of Qin". The "On the Fall of Qin" says that the fall of Qin was due to 'the loss of benevolence and righteousness but a change in the offensive and defensive situation'. However, you said that 'it was the six states that fell, not Qin'. Why do you have such an opinion?"

Chang An said at this time: "Because if you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. If you do too many bad things, you will inevitably suffer."

"What Mr. Jia said was unkind and unjust. My point was that the mob took materials, which was also unkind and unjust. I feel that the purpose is almost the same as what Mr. Jia wrote." Chang An said with a smile.

"Here, I am going to tell you something called: the dialectics of history."

Li Ying then sat up straight and began to listen to Chang An's explanation:

"The development of history is driven by the interaction of contradictions and conflicts. The development of anything is driven by the interaction and resolution of contradictions. Old contradictions will give rise to new contradictions under certain conditions, and the struggle and resolution of these contradictions will drive the progress of history. At the same time, history is not a simple repetition, but advances in constant change."

"In history, small changes and accumulation gradually lead to big changes and breakthroughs. It is believed that nothing exists in isolation, but is interconnected and influenced by other things. The development of history is also driven by a series of cause and effect relationships and interactions."

After listening to Chang An's explanation, Li Ying was stunned for a moment. Chang An simply explained:

“The development of history is like a play with two protagonists. Their interaction drives the story forward. The development of anything is like a fierce competition, and the interaction and resolution of contradictions are the key to the competition.”

"Oh~" Li Ying finally understood, then nodded and said, "I understand."

"The demise of the Qin State, whether it is from the "Fu on the Afang Palace" you wrote or the "On the Qin State" written by Jia Yi, they all say that every bit of evil done to the people eventually became one of the reasons that crushed the Qin State."

Chang An nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad."

"Then I understand the meaning of this "Fu on Afang Palace". It's really great that you can write such an article. This should be the best fu in ancient times!" Li Ying said at this time.

Chang An smiled and did not comment. After all, even if Li Ying did not agree with this article, there were many people in later generations who agreed with this "Fu on Afang Palace".

At this time, a round of applause came from behind Chang An: "What a great ancient poem! This is the best."

"I never thought that this article written by you, Marquis Dingkang, would contain such a profound concept. If I cannot agree with and read this article, it would be a blasphemy to you."

Chang An and Li Ying looked towards the door and found that Li Longji had been standing at the door, listening to his lecture. Chang An leaned forward slightly and nodded, greeting him:

"I have met His Majesty."

"Father."

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Nothing, nothing. I won't ask you any more about your classes. But just now, I heard you interpret your own "Fu on Afang Palace" in this way. Are you a little proud of yourself?"

"Your Majesty, this is the meaning expressed in the article. I dare not be presumptuous." Chang An said with a smile.

"I just heard it, it's very good." Li Longji praised at this time, "Sure enough, to make a thing easy to do, you have to use the right person. Letting you teach Ying'er is the most correct choice I have ever made."
