old attack difficult

Xue Yi smiled and nodded to Chang An.The smile on Chang An's face suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Xueyi glanced around for a week, except that Changxi's acne was not there, and the other princes and attendants had arrived.

Xue Yi respectfully said to Li Xiu beside him:

"Please, teacher."

Li Xiuzhen was in his forties, with a white face and elegant posture, a beautiful chin with no gray beard, and a purple-red official robe, full of energy.

Li Xiu nodded to Xueyi, walked to the lecturer's seat under the saint's portrait and sat down.

There are no high and low in the school, only teachers and students, even though Xue Yi is the crown prince, she can only sit at the head of Li Xiu.

Seeing that Xue Yi and Li Xiu were seated, the other prince attendants returned to their seats one after another.

Chang Jin winked at Chang An:

"Eighteenth brother, why is the prince Taifu here today?"

Chang An gave Chang Jin a blank look:

"How do I know? Could it be that the Grand Tutor surnamed Wei is afraid of us?" He said as he opened the scrolls on the case.

Li Xiu stopped everyone from opening the scroll, stroked his beard with a smile and said:

"Wait a minute, everyone, today the old man only talks about stories and not scriptures."

Everyone in the audience stared at Li Xiu in surprise.

Only Chang Sheng and Chang An looked different from others, one was expressionless, the other frowned, both of them were waiting for Li Xiu's next words.

Changsheng raised at the queen's knees and Xueyi is the most familiar. He also knows the temperament of Xueyi's Taifu. He knows that Li Xiu is different from other great scholars. His temperament is unpredictable and he likes to play cards out of common sense.

As for Chang'an, I simply feel that things are not so simple. Although Li Xiu is only a secretary of the household department, his official position is not too high compared to the governors of the three provinces, but he is a chief official. of.As for Xue Yi, he is the crown prince of a country, and in the first year of junior high school, he needs to serve the emperor to participate in the discussion of state affairs.These two people actually got together to tell stories to these little princes now, if they said they had no other intentions, he wouldn't believe it if they killed him.

On the contrary, it was Chang Jin who immediately smiled when she heard that the textbook was not being taught, put her hands on her knees and waited for Li Xiu to tell them a story.

The facial expressions and reactions of the younger brothers were recorded in Xueyi's mind at all. From the actions and reactions of the few people just now, Xueyi already knew the temperament of the few of them.

Needless to say, Changsheng, raised by the queen's side since childhood, is familiar with, prudent and careful, and always plans and moves.

After hearing Li Xiu's words, Chang Hui secretly glanced at Xue Yi from the corner of his eyes, and then looked at everyone around him.She has learned enough about Concubine Rong's cleverness, but she doesn't have the courage of Concubine Rong.

Chang Jin is a child at heart.

When it comes to Chang'an, there is true brotherhood, courage and prudence, which really makes Xueyi feel close to her heart.

Li Xiu raised his arms, straightened the big sleeves piled up on his coiled knees, and asked everyone seemingly inadvertently:

"I don't know who in your hearts can be called a hero?"

Zhou Yan, who was behind Chang'an, thought for a while, and a faint joy surfaced on his face.

Looking at Xue Yi's smiling face, Chang An didn't rush to open his mouth.

Today, Xue Yi officially tied up her hair, wore a traveling crown, a red shirt, a white skirt, a black python-pattern jacket, a gold belt hook, a fake belt, and a pair of jade pendants. She has a correct posture and a graceful temperament.

Xue Yi's appearance is [-]% that of the Queen's, with fair skin and slender frame. She also has a pair of red phoenix eyes.

Chang An frowned, he always felt that there was a big gap between him and Xue Yi, it seemed to be about identity, age, or unfamiliarity.That distance cannot be easily shortened by the daily relationship between the two of them.

In the classroom, some princes' attendants tried to answer some ancestors who were highly praised by historians in some history books, and Li Xiu gave affirmation.

Zhou Yan stood up and bowed to Li Xiu:

"The richest man in my court, Zhou Porridge, donated food and money with all his family's strength when the court temporarily had no money for food and disaster relief. Afterwards, he was not ashamed of being a businessman and refused the court to change his city registration."

Li Xiu nodded:

"This person is not burdened by worldly fame, not tied by high or low status, he should be called a hero. You can speak freely."

After hearing this, Xue Yi understood that Zhou Porridge was Zhou Yan's grandfather. After Zhou Porridge helped the court overcome difficulties, the late emperor felt his loyalty and allowed the Zhou family to send their children to the court as officials with business status.Zhou Porridge then sent his eldest son Zhou Yi to the imperial court as a small official in charge of documents in the Ministry of Rites.Zhou Yi didn't have much sense of presence in the court these years, but last year he unexpectedly chose the eldest son and sent him to the palace to serve as an attendant for Shiba.

Zhou Yi standing behind Chang'an is nothing to worry about, but Zhou Porridge, the richest man in the country behind Zhou Yi, is a target that all parties want to win over.

Xue Yi's eyes gradually darkened. First she sent her son into the palace, and now she affirmed the achievements of the Zhou family with the help of the world's great Confucianism. Does the Zhou family want to stand behind Chang'an?

Chang'an's mother is a princess of Xianbei. In terms of power, she is indeed not as intertwined among the clan as his mother's, and her foreign blood is not enough to win the hearts of the people. In the eyes of the clan, Chang'an will be a good puppet.

Now the princes are still young, even if Zhou Yi arranged for Zhou Yan to enter the palace, he didn't have any idea of ​​standing in line, but as the princes grow older, the Zhou family will have ideas if they don't have any.

He didn't want to have so many deep thoughts, but uncontrollably, his thoughts quickly formed a line, allowing him to quickly make a judgment.

Xue Yi felt a little irritable in his heart, but his gaze towards everyone did not change, he was still peaceful, he looked at Chang An who had stood up to answer Li Xiu, no one could tell what the future of his eighteenth brother would be like.

After Zhou Yan sat down, Changan stood up and said loudly:

"I will be the god general Mo Bai, who decides the foreign race to stabilize the frontier, and I should be called a hero! I am a man of the Northern Wei Dynasty." The words are clear and the expression is unruly.

Li Xiu's eyes melted with a little light: this son is most similar to the current emperor.

Li Xiu clapped his hands and praised:

"Not to mention the merits of General Mo Bai, but in terms of the integration of fish and water between the army and the people, General Mo Bai has done the best since ancient times. Wherever the troops went, he built houses for the people, paved the way for the soldiers to help the people, and was deeply loved by the people. This general old man is also extremely admired."

Changan was happy to hear that General Mo Bai was a friend of his mother and concubine in Xianbei. After his mother and concubine married Emperor Wei, Mo Bai also followed him out of the Xianbei grassland and came to the Great Wei Dynasty to become an official.So he and Mo Bai are still relatively close.

"However..." Li Xiu turned the subject and looked at Chang An with a smile and continued, "There is a hero that General Mo Bai can't match."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, even Xue Yi turned to look at his teacher.

Chang'an refused to accept:

"There is no such person, otherwise I have never heard of it."

Li Xiu picked up the tea and sipped it carefully, making a fuss about it.

Chang Jin was a little anxious, removing their father from the hearts of the little princes who did not leave the palace, the god general Mo Bai was the hero in their hearts, and the stories in the palace walls were nothing more than a few things that everyone knew.Who else can be called a hero than the general god.

Xue Yi is also a little curious, he really doesn't know anyone who can compare to the god general Mo Bai since he grew up?Could it be his father?

Xue Yi bowed slightly:

"Ask the teacher to enlighten me."

Li Xiu glanced sideways at the people seated, and knowing that his appetite was almost whetted, he slowly put down his teacup and said calmly:

"During the first emperor's reign, there was a scholar who was knowledgeable and thoughtful about the world, but because of his poor family, he was often not appreciated by the court's Da Zhongzheng, and he had to be rated down every time..."

Xue Yi frowned. This is the disadvantage of Zhongzheng's selection of scholars. The source of officials is tightly controlled by the aristocratic clan, and the children of the common clan have no way to get ahead.

In recent years, under the impetus of the aristocratic family, the right to select officials has been expanded to the point where they can even transfer officials. Whether the court belongs to his family or to the wealthy families.

Xue Yi has always been determined to promote fair selection of scholars in the country, but unfortunately he is still young and fledgling, and Emperor Wei only made minor reforms to stabilize the ratio of officials from the aristocratic and common families at eight to two in order to stabilize the court.

"At the age of 26, he broke his brush and joined the army. The imperial court used troops in Yunnan, where the dense grass and dense forests were full of miasma. Disregarding the remnants of the defeated generals, the scholar, as a lieutenant in the army, resolutely shouldered the responsibility and brought 3000 wounded soldiers back to the court from Yunnan, but was blocked by barbarians on the way. In order to protect the safety of [-] people, the scholar went to the barbarian camp alone to negotiate."

"Since there are still three thousand men, we should fight bloody battles with the barbarians to survive! This scholar is too spineless!" Chang An snorted coldly, speaking from the audience, his eyes could not help but look down on him with contempt.

Li Xiu smiled and did not immediately refute but continued:

"The scholar exchanged the safety of 3000 people with his own power, but he was broken by the barbarians and left in Yunnan. When sending [-] soldiers out of Yunnan, he bit his finger and wrote the blood book "Twelve Points of National Policy" requesting soldiers On behalf of the late emperor. The "Twelve Articles of National Policy" directly pointed to the country's ills, and the late emperor was very impressed after reading it."

"Twelve Articles of National Policy"?Xue Yi thought about it, and felt a little familiar.Who was the one who inherited the "Twelve Articles of National Policy" in the first emperor's dynasty?

"The first emperor planned to send officials to Yunnan to negotiate to bring back the scholar. Unexpectedly, the dragon passed away shortly after suffering from illness. The national funeral was imminent. The matter of bringing back the scholar was delayed until the emperor became the throne and the state affairs stabilized. Wait for the scholar to come back again. When he set foot on his homeland, it had been thirteen years since he went to war, and his face was old and gray at the age of 41. After returning home, his wife remarried and his son joined the army. He worked hard for the country for half his life, but his wife and children were separated.

Everyone in the audience listened sadly, Chang Jin asked Li Xiu:

"Since he has made great contributions to the country and returned, his father should reward him."

Chang An also nodded at the side, obviously this is also his problem.

Xue Yi sat upright, tapped her fingers on her palms, trying to recall which minister passed on the "Twelve Points of National Policy", and glanced back and forth in the lecture hall. "Scattered Notes" was written by Wei Taifu, and suddenly the clouds and mists were lifted in my heart and suddenly became clear.

Xue Yi was a little stunned after waking up, looking at Li Xiu with a pair of eyes puzzled, Li Xiu knew Xue Yi, raised his tea cup and pretended to drink tea, the wide sleeves of his robe covered the faces of the people below looking at him, Li Xiu rushed to Xue Yi Passed a look and smiled with a deep meaning.

Xue Yi seemed to be choked by Li Xiu's smile, her face tensed and she turned away from looking at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu, who put down his teacup, said in a solemn and slightly heavy voice:

"The emperor took pity on him for his old age and loneliness and gave him a hundred taels of gold, and made him the crown prince and tutor, but he said that his knowledge was not enough to teach the prince, and he was willing to travel far away to train talents for the court. He rejected the emperor's will and was alone He took his old servants and opened a school in a small town outside the city to teach and educate people."

"Then what happened later? Did the emperor agree?" Chang Jin's child quickly asked when he saw Li Xiu stop.

Chang An, who was originally silent at the side, took it with his mouth:

"Didn't sir say that the scholar took the old servant to teach outside the city?"

The voice of these words was not low, and the whole lecture hall could hear it clearly, and the corner of Xue Yi's mouth curled up into a laugh.

Chang'an felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xue Yi laughing at him no matter how thick-skinned he was.

"Later? Then the emperor said to the scholar: If you can't teach my prince, then you can teach my other sons. So now the scholar has become the Taifu of your highness, Taifu Wei."

As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, everyone had different expressions on their faces, and Chang An's entire face was flushed as if he had eaten a rat droppings.

He slapped the table and stood up:

"Nonsense, old man Wei is stubborn and stubborn. How can he be the scholar in the story? What's more, how can the scholar be compared with the general of the gods?"

Xue Yi frowned:

"Chang'an is so rude!" Chang'an felt aggrieved when he saw that Xue Yi was angry, her eyes were watery and she stopped talking, her mouth shriveled.

Xue Yi laughed when she did something wrong, but she looked aggrieved. Is there any reason in this world.Sighing in his heart, he still softened his tone:

"Don't lose your manners in front of the Taifu, and listen to what the Taifu has to say."

Chang An got the steps and sat down silently.

Chang Jin said strangely: "So you're calling gold to withdraw your army? You even boasted to me and my brothers that you are not afraid of the prince."

Chang An glanced at Chang Jin who was gloating.Finally, his eyes fell on Xue Yi's gentle face:

"I just don't want him to upset me."

"Now Taifu Wei, as the princes, the Taifu should teach the princes to respect the destiny and cherish the people. Otherwise, the imperial power will be supreme and no one will restrain it. At that time, no matter whether the emperor is stupid or the clan is greedy and not even afraid of the retribution of the destiny, how can he be responsible to the people. "This was originally a calculation in the hearts of Confucian emperors and teachers. Every emperor knew this truth in his heart, but no one brought it to the table. Now Li Xiu has stabbed him clean.

Xue Yi on the side coughed twice and couldn't stop it. Confucian scholars restricted the imperial power with the mandate of heaven, the emperor restricted the people with the mandate of heaven, and the common people restricted the imperial power with the will of the people.Things in this world are entangled.

"The meritorious deeds of the god general An Bian and the country are naturally extraordinary, but not only one general can charge into battle on the battlefield. Who will perfect the soldiers who are like the drops of water flowing into the river? They are not as noble as the nobles, not as powerful as the literati, not as talented as the merchants. The barbarians fought their way out, how many of the 3000 people could survive? They died in battle in Yunnan because of their useless courage. Who will take care of the old, weak, women and children in their hometown? But your Taifu Wei made it happen with his own safety. They are Daren! Trapped in Dian for 12 years, the heroic warrior turned into an old man, his wife and children were separated and alone, but he refused to accept the emperor's gift and wanted to return to his hometown to train talents for the court. This is righteousness! How can a person be inferior to a general of God?" The elegant and dignified Grand Tutor Li Xiu said later that he calmed down the people who didn't take it seriously at first, even Chang'an was ashamed after being shocked.

He has always looked down on Taifu Wei's stubbornness, thinking that he is just an old scholar who is conceited, knowledgeable and arrogant, and never thought that Taifu Wei has such a past.At this time, I heard Li Xiu teach Xueyi again:

"Prince, for a king, be careful not to criticize others with a single word. Wei Taifu is an example."

"Students take note."

"Prince, you are the crown prince of the country. From now on, you can't choose a man who is brave and has no soldiers in his heart."

"Students take note."

Chang An's complexion turned even redder upon hearing this.

Seeing that the heat was almost up, Li Xiu stood up slowly, glanced at the people sitting down with different expressions, and said slowly:

"Teacher Wei is unwell and asked for leave. From now on, Taifu Wei's courses will be taught by the old man." After saying that, he cupped his hands and took Xue Yi to leave.

Chang An ran a few steps ahead of Li Xiu and asked in a low voice:

"Teacher, is Taifu Wei seriously ill?"

Xueyi looked at Chang'an's drooping head and felt a little soft in his heart. Although Chang'an was stubborn, his nature was not bad. Mr. Li's lesson to Chang'an this time was just right. It moved but did not lift up.

Li Xiu looked at Chang An with a half-smile:

"According to Taifu Wei's character, if he is not seriously ill, he will ask for leave. Why, the eighteenth prince still wants to play the game of locking Nuange with Taifu Wei?"

Xue Yi frowned, feeling that Li Xiu's words to Chang'an were a bit harsh, but Li Xiu signaled Xue Yi not to be impatient.

Chang'an lowered his head even lower, raised his head abruptly for a long time to look at Xue Yi, and quickly ran out of the lecture hall with firm eyes.

Li Xiu stroked his beard and smiled: "Ruzi can be taught! Ruzi can be taught!"

Looking at Chang'an's receding figure, Xue Yi suddenly felt dazzled.

Wei Taifu's mansion, Wei Taifu was wearing a robe and closed his eyes, sitting leisurely on the corridor of the lotus pond in the backyard, fishing.

The old housekeeper who was waiting on the side was holding a tray with bait in his hand and asked Wei Taifu with a smile:

"Master, do you think the Eighteenth Prince will really come to the house to apologize?"

Taifu Wei slowly opened his eyes, remembering that day when he was imprisoned in the Nuan Pavilion by Chang'an, he jumped to the feet and met Li Xiu who was about to enter the palace at the gate of the palace after filing a lawsuit before the imperial court.

A pair of old-fashioned eyes are full of pride:

"Since that old bastard Li Xiu patted his chest and said he would teach that brat a lesson, it's a sure thing."

The old housekeeper was a little worried:

"Then will the Eighteenth Prince believe the story he made up for you?"

Mrs. Wei said twice:

"Why did you make it up? I read the "Twelve Articles of the National Policy", I also fought the barbarians in Yunnan, and I refused the emperor's offer to be a tutor. This story is true!" He said. I laughed out loud myself.

These things are all true, as for how true it is, it depends on what Li Xiu has to say.

In early spring, when the sky was blue and the wind was still cool, a servant informed Mrs. Wei that a young master had brought a servant to the door.

Taifu Wei and the old housekeeper beside him smiled at each other, and got up slowly, and the old housekeeper quickly stepped forward to help Taifu Wei close his clothes.

Mrs. Wei gave a hearty smile, stood up and said:

"Let's go, it's time for us to vent our anger and punish this kid."

The author has something to say: Aunt Thirteen and everyone have successfully entered the new year.I wish you all good health and love!
