Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 121 listen to your words
Chapter 155 listen to your words
Recognizing a teacher these days is by no means an easy task.

"The king of heaven and earth is his own teacher", this is a creed known to all women and children.

The status of "jun" and "teacher" has always been sacred and inviolable. "Jun" is naturally a king, and this "teacher" must be a teacher.

For individuals, kings and teachers have equal status. One day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father. This is a principle, and it is a belief engraved deep in the soul.

When a student sees a teacher, he must perform the discipleship ceremony. The teacher-student relationship is a major item in the human relationship, which will remain unchanged throughout life.

In short, "the existence of the Tao is the existence of the teacher", the relationship between teachers and students should be measured by "morality and righteousness".

In order to promote his way, Confucius traveled around the world, and his disciples served him, and some students even followed him all his life.

As the saying goes, "A gentleman seeks the way and does not seek food. Farming is where he is discouraged; learning is where income is. A gentleman worries about the way and does not worry about poverty."

This kind of seeking the way is exactly the way, the virtue and the soul of the teacher.

Once apprenticed to a teacher, the student must obey the teacher's words. At that time, there will be no difference in status. Even the emperor must obediently salute the teacher.

Li Chengqian has always wanted to arrange his own influence in the court, so that he can have a say in the court and not be too passive.

However, a place like the Chaotang definitely does not mean that you can be inserted in it.

In a place like Chang'an, there are so many talents, one moment may skyrocket, and the next moment, one may fall into hell.

So Li Chengqian didn't know who to arrange. He did know a few future bosses, but these prisons are still too young to enter the court at all with their qualifications.

But it's different now. If Li Chengqian worshiped Fang Xuanling as his teacher, the situation would be much better than installing a few people.

"Your Highness, I hope you will be strict with yourself in the future and be a good person!" Fang Xuanling suddenly said something meaningful.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "The student understands."

"Yes!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "My teacher's name is Wang Tong, and his title is Wen Zhongzi. He was a famous scholar in the former Sui Dynasty."

Wang Tong... Li Chengqian had heard of his name, and he seemed to be mentioned in the later "Three Character Classics", and he was even called the Five Masters along with "Xunzi, Yangzi, Laozi, and Zhuangzi".

Although he has not entered the officialdom, his status in the literary world is definitely one of the best.

Before Fang Xuanling entered politics, he went to Wang Tong and asked him a few questions.

The first one is how a minister should serve the monarch and serve the monarch.

Wen Zhongzi replied: "Be selfless, work for the country, work for the monarch, you must first be selfless."

Fang Xuanling asked him again, "How to command and employ people."

Wen Zhongzi said to him, "No bias, you can't favor this or that, otherwise people won't listen to you."

Fang Xuanling asked again, "How can everyone in this society work together and be of one mind."

Wen Zhongzi said, "One must rectify one's heart, one must rectify one's own mind, and only after rectifying oneself can one rectify others. As long as everyone is rectifying their hearts, then there is one heart."

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

Fang Xuanling always remembered these few words deeply. Although Wang Tong did not really accept him as a student, Fang Xuanling always regarded himself as his student.

And this Wang Tong has a deeper identity.

A few years later, he will have a grandson, and that grandson will be Wang Bo, one of the Four Great Masters of the early Tang Dynasty.

It was Wang Bo who wrote the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" and "A bosom friend in the sea is as close as a neighbor to the end of the world."

"Oh, it's getting late, the old man suddenly feels sleepy and wants to sleep..."

As Fang Xuanling spoke, she stretched decently.

Chu Suiliang and the others stood up one after another, looked at Li Chengqian thoughtfully, and then left one after another.

It wasn't until this moment that they realized that they might have been a tool. Fang Xuanling invited them to his house as guests. Maybe he didn't really want to treat them to a meal, but just wanted them to be a witness.

It’s really uncomfortable to be a tool!
Seeing that Chu Suiliang and the others got up and left, Li Chengqian also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, the students are also leaving."

"Wait a minute." Fang Xuanling said lightly: "Chengqian, as your teacher, I have to remind you that a tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it. A true wise man is never sharp-edged, but restrained." .”

Li Chengqian's heart trembled, "The students know."

Fang Xuanling walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "From now on in Qianzhou, you must always think about the people. Although the old man didn't teach you anything, as long as you don't make mistakes, the old man will keep you safe! "

Li Chengqian said respectfully: "Thank you teacher."

"Haha, to be honest, with your talent, the old man is considered your teacher, and I thank His Highness for agreeing, otherwise, it would be very difficult for the old man to step down in front of Chu Suiliang and the others!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Where, how many people wish to worship Uncle Fang as their teacher!"

"Come on, don't flatter your kid, go back quickly. I've had a lot of fun in Chang'an these days, and I don't know when I'll be back when I go back to Qianzhou in a few days."

"Students understand!"

Li Chengqian nodded, then turned and left.

Fang Xuanling looked at his leaving back, the light in her eyes flickering.

After standing there for a while, he left Liang Guogong's mansion and went to Tai Chi Palace.

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin is dealing with the memorial.

He is about to go on a personal conquest by the royal driver. Although there are two princes and courtiers overseeing the country, before he leaves, he must first deal with the state affairs that are currently piled up.

"Your Majesty, Lord Liang is here."

The eunuch's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Li Shimin kept his eyes on the memorial, and said softly, "Let him in."

After Fang Xuanling came in, Li Shimin put down the memorial and said with a smile: "Xuanling, you are here, please sit down."

Sitting on a soft couch in front of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, I have accepted His Royal Highness King Qian as a student according to your instructions."

"Um…"

Li Shimin nodded, seeing that Fang Xuanling's face was a bit puzzled, he smiled and said: "Are you wondering why I let you accept Cheng Qian as a student?"

Fang Xuanling pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Li Shimin sighed, looked at the ground, and said in a daze, "I have decided that after the Eastern Expedition returns, I will make Wei Wangtai the crown prince."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling was shaken, but still did not speak, just lowered his head.

Now he finally understood why His Majesty asked him to accept Li Chengqian as a student.

The grievances between Li Tai and Li Chengqian are the deepest, and now Li Shimin has decided to make Li Tai the prince.

If Li Tai ascended the throne, he would definitely cause trouble for Li Chengqian. Li Shimin didn't want to see this situation, so he asked Fang Xuanling to accept Li Chengqian as a student.

"Xuan Ling, I'm getting old. Sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty will belong to young people. I just hope that they can continue this great country and never bring disaster to the country and the people!"

Fang Xuanling looked up at him, only then did he realize that Tian Khan, who ruled the world, was nothing more than an old man with gray temples at the moment.

And he desperately wanted to conquer the east, maybe he just wanted to leave a more stable and prosperous country for future generations.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

As Fang Xuanling said, she bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin grabbed his hands excitedly, and moved: "Xuanling, I am really lucky to have you!"

"His Majesty!"

"Xuanling!"

The two held hands tightly and looked at each other affectionately, and the atmosphere slowly developed in a strange direction.
