Chapter 2563 Don’t follow him
His father was the prince of the empire, so Li Xiang has attracted the attention of the world since he was born. Unfortunately, because Li Chengqian's position as prince was never stable, Li Xiang not only failed to get the love that should have belonged to him, but was also targeted...
Growing up, almost every time he played with his uncle's brothers, he would always encounter all kinds of sarcastic comments, sarcasm, or provocations. The brothers envied his status, but they would never respect it. Instead, they tried every means to embarrass him, and seemed to trample him severely in order to make them feel happy.
Li Xiang is young and thin, but he is not as cowardly as his father. He often resists bullying, but is beaten repeatedly...
What made him feel most aggrieved was that he was beaten every time he lost a fight, and had to face his father's reprimand after returning to the palace. His father didn't ask about the reason at all. He just spoke harshly and told him to be calm, humble and courteous...
At this time, Li Xiang became very angry.
He was young and could not understand the pressure his father faced. He walked on thin ice every day with fear, fearing that when he woke up, His Majesty Li Er would depose him as the crown prince with an edict. He just wondered why his brothers were being killed when they were fighting outside. If you are insulted, your uncles and elders will aggressively come to your door to demand justice?
It was only today that he finally realized the joy of having someone avenge him after being bullied!
Don't you dare to break my nose? Look, Fang Shaobao directly sent troops to break your legs!
Now in his mind, he was not only grateful to Fang Jun, but also admired.
This is what a father should be like. Since his father refuses to come forward to seek justice for himself, isn't there still Fang Shaobao?
He was still young and did not understand the concept of "loyal ministers and righteous men", let alone the fierceness of government affairs. He simply thought that the reason why Fang Jun broke the legs of those Guanlong disciples was to vent his anger and seek justice for him. Rumu My feelings were already overwhelming, so I blurted out that I was just waiting for the words to become a disciple...
……
Li Chengqian and his wife's faces turned dark. Where are they?
Just because you lost a fight and Fang Jun helped you vent your anger, you want to become your teacher?
Crown Princess Su gently pulled Li Xiang and scolded: "Xiang'er, don't be rude!"
Li Xiang was obviously in awe of his mother. After being scolded, his little face wrinkled up in grievance. He pursed his lips and reluctantly said "oh" and stood aside with his head lowered.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His son looked delicate, but in fact he had a very stubborn temper. He was not as gentle as himself, but more like his father who was tough and persistent. Once he was sure of something, it was difficult to change his mind. He would even contradict his father from time to time, which gave him quite a headache.
He was really afraid that the child would have a stubborn temper and insist on becoming Fang Jun's teacher. He couldn't say no to him...
It's not that Fang Jun is not good. After all, he is a world-famous "poetry master". His good calligraphy is enough to make him a master. Compared with those Su Confucians who have been famous for many years, he is no less generous. Regardless of his status and knowledge, he can become Li Xiang's teacher. .
But although this man's nickname of "Bangchui" was mostly "managed" by himself, and his nature is not so arrogant, domineering, and unscrupulous, in the final analysis, he is also the leading dandy in Chang'an City, and his arrogant and arrogant temperament is unstoppable. What has changed is that if his son worships him as his teacher, can he still learn well?
If he has ascended the throne as emperor, then it would not be a bad idea to ask Fang Jun to become the "Prince and Tutor". However, now is the time when he needs to be calm and steady the most. Once Li Xiang learns from Fang Jun to have a strong temper and be honest in everything, he will provoke trouble everywhere. If you refuse to settle down, you will die...
Fearing that Fang Jun would be alienated, Li Chengqian explained: "Xiang'er is stubborn and uncertain. Erlang, you are now responsible for the academy, and you also have to be in charge of the Ministry of War's preparations for the logistics of the Eastern Expedition. I'm afraid you won't have so much time to teach him. However, Erlang has a reputation for his quick learning, and Xiang'er will definitely be your disciple in the future. I also ask for your guidance to help him become a talented person."
Fang Jun didn't think much about it. How could he be Li Xiang's teacher?
It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t.
He himself had read several collections of classics and history and knew that he might not be able to compare with an ordinary student. Those famous poems were all "borrowed", so how could he possibly teach Li Xiang?
It would be okay if you were practicing martial arts...
He quickly said: "Your Highness is serious, please don't mention this matter again. It's not that I don't want to teach the prince, it's really that I have limited talent and knowledge and am unable to handle the big task. There are countless learned scholars in the court, so I should choose a man with both good character and academics for the prince." If you become an official and study hard, you will be successful in the future. ”
Li Xiang curled his lips and interjected: "What's so good about those old scholars? The emperor's grandfather often said that they were obscurant in their studies. They talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and stuck to the rules when things happened. They were just some rotten scholars. They were just trying to gain fame and reputation, but they could never become great people."< br>
Li Chengqian's expression changed and he shouted sternly: "Shut up! How dare you spread rumors and slander as a young child? Go back to your room immediately and face the wall for three days. You will not be allowed to go out! If you don't figure out where you went wrong, you will die." Stay in the palace and don’t go anywhere!”
Li Xiang's face turned pale with fright. He had never seen his father, who had always been kind and gentle, speak so harshly. The child didn't know what to say or not. He was so frightened that he took a step aside and leaned close to his mother. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the skirt of his mother's skirt. His eyes were already filled with tears.
Fang Jun quickly tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Majesty is young, and his childlike remarks are just a slip of the tongue. Why should you be so angry? Besides, your Majesty is talented, lively and cute, and he has your Majesty's legacy. You should always encourage him more." ”
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said: "In a family of emperors, who cares whether you are a child or the result of the teachings of your fathers? These words are just for talking here, but once they are spread, what kind of consequences will it cause? Don’t you know Feng Lang?”
He was not born cautious and obedient. In fact, his experience as a prince for so many years made him frightened and frightened all the time. He was walking on thin ice and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Before this, the nobles of Guanlong, as representatives of the military, had always been dissatisfied with him as the prince, and had repeatedly stirred up troubles in an attempt to depose him. The people who surrounded him with strong support were all the civil servants in the court who did not hold real power, and these Everyone is a disciple of Confucianism.
Now that Li Xiang, as the crown prince, said "corrupt Confucianism", what did the civil servants who were attached to the East Palace think?
If these people become discouraged, could it be that Li Chengqian just relies on Fang Jun?
The most important thing is that when the situation was dangerous and could be catastrophic at any time and at any time, those civil servants came one after another to surround him with full support. Although these people had no real power and their voices were not loud, but in the end it was a friendship of sharing weal and woe and going through difficulties together. Now there is Because Fang Jun, who holds military power, firmly supports him, he abandons the original civil servants and shows disdain?
Then Li Chengqian's reputation has completely fallen into the dust. He has become a model of ingratitude and will surely be reviled by the world...
How could he afford it?
Fang Jun remained silent and said nothing more.
But I don't think so in my heart. How can a child have any knowledge? The so-called words of "fishing for fame" and "corrupting Confucianism" must have been talked about in private by you and His Majesty Li Er from time to time, but the children listened to them, and then they had to rely on them...
Crown Princess Su took Li Xiang out, who was extremely wronged but did not dare to cry and could only whimper. Li Chengqian drove away all the maids who stayed to serve. The two sat at the table to eat and talk. Fang Jun Being responsible for pouring wine is quite relaxing and comfortable.
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Chengqian sighed: "Don't blame Erlang for being cautious and making a fuss out of molehills. It's true that he has walked through these years cautiously. Even though it seems bright now, he doesn't dare to slack off at all. Gu and a few Brothers are different, whether they are green birds or even child slaves, even if they fail in the fight for the heirloom, they can turn into a peaceful prince. Wealth and glory are also indispensable. The orphan will never touch a hair of them, and the brotherhood and brotherhood are still there. How could it be Can the power and wealth be comparable? However, if Gu is deposed one day, let alone a prince, he will not be able to do it even as a commoner. Even if the brothers don't want to kill Gu, who can tolerate a person who has been infinitely close to that position? The prince who is supported by others is alive in this world? So he can't retreat even if he retreats. If he retreats, he will be on the edge of a cliff and will be catastrophic. Not only will he die, but all his family members will also be slaughtered..."
