There is a little husband in the home of crossing

Chapter 123

  Li Yaonan spoke elegantly. The content of the class was all practical, and the words were thought-provoking. The students listened carefully, and couldn't help but start to rejoice. Fortunately, they came to the class today. It is not without reason that Mr. Li was promoted so quickly.

As time went by bit by bit, Li Yaonan's class came to an end, and even Li Mingzhang outside the class listened with relish at this time, with a thoughtful look on his face from time to time.

Several children sat upright, pricked up their little ears, and were fascinated. Li Yaonan

smiled slightly: "Okay, that's all for today. If you don't understand, you can ask questions now."

It was he who thought that Mr. Li was right. The conflict between the two ideas caused him to contradict himself. If he couldn't find a breakthrough, he was afraid that he would suffer for the rest of his life. It's not that it's unbearable, do you have prejudice against honest officials?"

Li Yaonan raised his eyebrows slightly, the student asked a good question, but he did not intend to become the public enemy of all honest officials, and said with a smile: "Of course not, I have no opinion on honest officials. Any prejudice, on the contrary, I admire the real honest officials, their integrity is admired, among the officials of this dynasty, the magistrate of Daming, Master Gu, and the governor of Lianzhou, Master Yu, are people I respect very much." The

students looked on their faces . At a loss, who are these two adults?

Li Yaonan quickly gave them the answer: "Master Gu has been an official for 20 years. He was a Jinshi in Chengze's thirteenth year. He was only a county magistrate when he first took office. At that time, Shikang County was not as prosperous as it is now."

"Shikang County?" One of the students was surprised that Shikang County had produced several Juren in the past ten years. He had heard of this place.

Li Yaonan nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is because of Master Gu that Shikang County has the present scene. Twenty years ago, Shikang County was notoriously poor. Households, raised money to build roads and beams, organized local people to open up wasteland and cultivate, and built a school in the county, laying the foundation of Shikang County step by step, and then it has today's prosperity."

Someone asked curiously: "Twenty How did Master Li know what happened years ago?"

Li Yaonan curled his lips: "This official is the Minister of General Affairs." The

students took a breath. How long did Master Li have been in office? Clearly.

Li Yaonan's face was serious, and he instructed earnestly: "As an official, in his position, and in his political affairs, since I am the Minister of General Affairs, I naturally know everything about the yamen like the back of my hand. This is responsible for myself and for my position. Well, the bento is worthy of the emperor's attention." "Lord Yu,

who is he?"

Li Yaonan talked eloquently, and his deeds were numerous: "Master Yu is a strict official, and the people around Lianzhou call him Yu Qingtian, an official. Honest and honest, not afraid of power, he has tried countless unjust cases..." The

students were a little puzzled: "It is the same unjust case, what is the difference between him and Rui Hai?"

"Of course there is a difference." Li Yaonan said sternly: "You act with your lord. The style is decisive, a person is full of hatred, others will only hate him but not anger the people. Of course, this has nothing to do with today's sages and sages. I have said before that officials need to judge the situation, and the results will definitely be different in different environments. "

What about Mr. You, the magistrate of Donghe, Mr. You, is he a good official?" a student asked with red eyes. "

Master You..." Li Yaonan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and replied in a very euphemistic manner: "He is not suitable to be an official. "

"Master You is for the country and the people, he is not a good official, who is a good official?" Qiao Zhixin was excited, and his expression was slightly resentful.

The rest of the students stared at Master Li tightly, obviously infected by Qiao Zhixin's emotions.

Li Yaonan is very patient: "For the common people, he is a good official, but for the emperor, he is an official who guards and steals from himself. Allowed, it is a fact to open warehouses to release grain. Have you ever thought about what these grains are used for? When the Yellow River flooded, the East River was one of the severely affected areas. There are many ways to raise grain and grass, but he chose the one with the most consequences. The serious one." The

students fell silent, and Li Yaonan continued: "These grains are for the country's military supplies. He opened the grain silo privately, and Shangguan didn't know about it. If there is an emergency, have you ever thought about what to do, like this? Emotionally, he may really be devoted to the people, but I don't think he is suitable for an official position. Even if there is no matter of opening a warehouse and releasing food, his career will not be long-term."

"If it were Mr. Li, what would you do?" Qiao Zhixin With red eyes, he was a commoner of Donghe. If it wasn't for the favor of Lord You, their family might have all died in that disaster.

Li Yaonan sneered: "Could it be that the wealthy households in the city are just decorations, Master You can't bend over to the merchants, why is it wrong to forcibly levy grain? To put it bluntly, it's not self-esteem."

Qiao Zhixin's lips squirmed and retorted: "Master You is a A good official, the rich are also the people of Donghe, he won't take money from people for no reason, he just acts with integrity."

"I know, this is a moral constraint, if that's the case, then why does he have to open a warehouse and put grain? Is it right to steal the treasury? Why, he is for the country and the people, and he is for the people, so he can know the law and break the law in an open and fair manner, then if everyone is like him, why does the country's law exist?"

Qiao Zhixin opened his mouth and couldn't find any reason to refute. Li Yaonan's words made sense, but as a commoner of Donghe, he didn't want to believe that Mr. You's actions were wrong no matter what.

Seeing his dazed expression, Li Yaonan slightly slowed down his tone: "This is just my personal opinion, let you think about it, it does not represent the opinions of others, you can refute or question, I dare not say that I am right, Any good book must be revised and then revised before it can be compiled into a volume. The allusions of our ancestors cannot be blindly followed. I think any doubt can make people progress."

"Do you have any doubts about Confucius' teaching?" A student Asked out.

"Confucius is a great thinker." Li Yaonan replied with a chuckle, as if recalling something from the past: "You may not know, I was in the Hanlin Academy back then, but I was notorious for being miserable, and questioning the knowledge of my ancestors was not enough. Shameful. In ancient times, people only used bronze ware. Today, there are porcelain, iron, jade, etc., and there may be more in the future. What does this prove?"

"It proves that our knowledge is definitely deeper than the ancients."

"Yes, it is knowledge. Dao, we can get rid of the rotten chaff and take the essence, the knowledge of the ancients has its own merits, but no matter how well you learn by listening blindly, you are only inheriting the knowledge of the ancients, but cannot develop new ideas.

" After talking to them for a while, the students asked questions one after another. Li Yaonan's answer made him dry and felt a little hungry. Then he suddenly came back to his senses, it was getting late.

"Okay, that's all for today, you guys can go back and think about it." Li Yaonan made a final decision and ended today's topic.

The students are still unfulfilled, reluctant to part with each other, and there are still many questions to ask.

"Master Li, are you going to give a lecture next time?"

"There are still many things that students don't understand."

"Master Li..."

Li Yaonan curled his lips into a smile, looking at the pair of expectant eyes, he knew that today's course was a success, he thought for a while, walked to the table and swiped, brushed, and wrote down a topic: "This is Wei Chao. The well-known loyal ministers of the period, each wrote a policy theory and handed it to the steward of the Sihai Academy. After the correction, I will send it back."

"Thank you, Lord Li." The students were excited, their eyes sparkled, Lord Li really A good man, it would be nice if other officials could give lectures, who would be so attentive.

"Lord Li, when will you give a lecture next time?" Someone asked reluctantly.

Li Yaonan laughed. Originally, he planned to take this opportunity to make a name for himself, and he would never come again, but he couldn't say it like that. He thought about it for a while and said with a smile, "Let's take a break next month, and the concubine will notify you in advance."

The students have come to the spirit, and they will rest next month. It is enough for them to do a good job in the subject, and it is enough for them to digest what they have learned today. I don't know what Master Li will talk about next time...

Li Yaonan returned to the side room, Li Mingzhang had already arranged the wine and dishes, a few The children are all thoughtful.

"Brother Donglin is a great talent." Li Mingzhang was in awe. He knew that Li Yaonan had a big heart. Hearing his words today still made people amazed.

Li Yaonan chuckled: "It's just a slight feeling."

Li Mingzhang knew in his heart that when Brother Li went to Yunnan, he must have experienced a lot of setbacks. In addition, brother Li likes to take a slanted sword. strangeness.

Li Yaonan couldn't help but misunderstand, even though the two had a good relationship, he wouldn't confess everything.

Li Xi rolled his eyes in the dark, and felt even more that his father was so talented that he was beyond his reach.

"What are your plans for Donglin in the future?" Li Mingzhang pointed out.

"Let's see." Li Yaonan evoked a sneer: "I am the emperor's minister, and I only need to follow the emperor's orders."

Li Mingzhang shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't be so simple."

"So what?" Li Yaonan's eyes dimmed, and seeing Li Mingzhang's concerned eyes, his heart couldn't help but warm: "The prince does not dare to act blatantly, as long as the emperor is facing me, I will have nothing to fear."

Li Mingzhang sighed softly: "I'm just afraid that the prince's dog will jump off the wall."

Li Yaonan snorted, I couldn't help laughing slowly: "You dare to say this."

Li Mingzhang pretended to be helpless and spread his hands: "My father is timid and can't stand being scared, except that he doesn't have so many restraints in front of you, where else am I? Dare to speak freely."

"Alas!" Li Yaonan sighed, the years were really unforgiving, and he still remembered that Li Mingzhang was a son of everyone, and his words and deeds were well-mannered, but now he has become more casual.

Li Mingzhang smiled bitterly. He couldn't change the environment, he could only change himself. At the beginning of the establishment of Sihai Academy, all the children from the poor family came. If he took up the air and communicated with people, it would be daunting just based on his identity. .

However, fortunately he persevered, and now he is living a good life. Although his relationship with the princess is not very good, it can barely be called a respectful guest.

Li Yaonan had some understanding in his heart, Li Mingzhang faced the poor students, just like the princess faced the concubine, the gap of identity is like a thick wall, if the princess does not put down the air, the relationship between husband and wife will always be separated by a layer, no matter how good it looks on the surface , in fact, never entered the bottom of my heart.

After dinner, the two chatted for a while, and Li Yaonan took the child back home.

But he didn't know that the content of his lecture today was spread all over the capital like a fly. Some people thought about it, some people scoffed, and some people scolded, especially some honest officials who made a name for themselves. This time, they were very angry.

It was two days after the emperor got the news. He said in his heart that he was not born or angry. Li Qing's family acted unexpectedly. Let's see what he taught. It was all tricky and crooked.

However, when I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Rui Hai is an honest official, but why does he clamor with the emperor? No matter how good Rui Hai's reputation is among the people, for an emperor, his actions It was a kind of provocation, which made him famous, but let down the majesty of the emperor.

No emperor would like an official like Rui Hai. Rui Hai's words and deeds have already exceeded his duty. His fearlessness can only show the incompetence of Emperor Yuan of Han. It is impossible to say that it was precisely because of his actions that Emperor Cheng of Han lost the people's hearts, and Jin could take this opportunity to rise.

The emperor had already figured out the temperament of some honest officials, but after Li Yaonan had a little understanding, there was a sense of sudden realization.

The honest officials in the court have indeed made him love and hate, just like the honest and honest censor, who catches the slightest mistake and jumps higher than a chicken, refuting the emperor seems to have become a habit. It is the language of praising loyal ministers in ancient times, but when it comes to him...

the corners of the emperor's lips twitched, not refuting the emperor's censor is not a good censor, and if they don't fight against the emperor, they are not famous enough. kind of atmosphere.

Now the emperor really wants to see the expressions on the faces of these censors after hearing what Li Qing's family said. However, it is not completely useless, at least when they impeach ministers, in order to show that they are not afraid of power, they will never be soft-spoken.

"Report to the emperor, the twelve princes, the thirteenth prince, and the sixteenth prince are here." The prince called out softly, for fear of disturbing the emperor's deep thoughts.

"Well, let's pass it in." A smile appeared on the emperor's face, and then he remembered that they were going to test their knowledge today.

The prince sighed in his heart, apart from facing the young prince, the emperor has not been so amiable for a long time.

"My son sees the royal father." Several princes quickly stepped into the imperial study.

"Get up." The emperor nodded lightly, feeling that he was indeed old, and he became fond of remembering the past and his children, but unfortunately...

the emperor's eyes darkened, and the voices of several princes interrupted his thoughts. .

"Thank you, Father." The

emperor's expression softened slightly: "Today's homework can be completed."

"Return to Father, it has been completed."

"Master riding and archery praised me." The thirteenth prince raised his chin, and his posture was very full, but the answer was based on left and right. The sixteenth prince was only ten years old. Relying

on the emperor's favor, he was very courageous and said proudly: "Today, the teacher praised the child, but I don't believe that the father takes the test." If you don't have great determination, you have a long way to go. You think you have a responsibility, but it's too important? What 's wrong with

death? What's the explanation?"

A person must have a tenacious will, because the responsibility he bears is great, and the road to realization is very long. Taking benevolence as one's own responsibility, so it is a great responsibility. Taking the end of life as the end of the task, the road to realizing benevolence is long and long. Far away."

"Not bad." The emperor was in a happy mood and praised him without hesitation.

The sixteenth prince was very proud, proudly like a little peacock.

The thirteenth prince tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, for fear that his father would test himself.

The twelfth prince looked at his younger brother amusingly, but he gently blocked his body and stood in front of the thirteenth prince.

The emperor glared at the thirteenth prince, but he was not very angry. The son was naughty, it was better than they were calculating all day long, but as a prince, it was impossible without studying. Learning, the prince carefully reported: "Report to the emperor, His Royal Highness, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince ask to see you." The

emperor's face sank, and his good mood was instantly destroyed.

The three princes looked at their noses and noses, and the twelfth prince said with a smile: "The father and the emperor have something to do, and the son will retire first."

"No need." It's better to stay and listen." Then he looked at the two princes Thirteen and Sixteen: "You should also learn more."

"Yes, Father." Thirteen and Sixteen answered cheerfully, especially the The thirteenth prince, who just escaped the catastrophe, the happy expression on his face should be too obvious.

The twelfth prince's mood is complicated, I don't know whether it is joy or worry, he and his elder brother are too different in age, and at this time of business, even if he does not have the will to fight for the throne, I am afraid that he will inevitably be suspected, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Thank you, father and emperor. "
