Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 123: Write Li Shimin into the enlightenment textbook
As soon as Crown Prince Li Chengqian issued the order, the three provinces and six ministries received it and immediately got busy running around.

"Did you call me?"

Liu Li couldn't help feeling anxious when he saw officials from the six ministries of the Secretariat running around.

He was the Yellow Gate Minister, but the Minister of the Menxia Province was temporarily vacant, so he was also in charge of the Minister of the Menxia Province's duties.

However, Wei Zheng was appointed as the special official to manage the affairs of Menxia Province.

He didn't know whether he should go.

After all, it is widely circulated in the court and the country that whoever is not present will be embarrassed when the prince summons his successor.

If he doesn't go, wouldn't his situation be very delicate?

But the prince did not give him the order.

Do I have the nerve to go to the East Palace?
That's why he was anxious and uneasy. He didn't know whether to go or not.

"Liu Ji, the Crown Prince has ordered that you should go to the East Palace to discuss matters immediately. There should be no delay."

Fortunately, Chang Sun Chong came to read out the summons. Liu Li was as if he had been pardoned. He accepted the order without thinking and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Li obeys your order!"

On the other side of the Secretariat, Chang Sun Chong also went to deliver the message.

Soon, a scene could be seen in the Taiji Palace. The heads of the three provinces and six ministries walked one after another, all hurried towards the East Palace.

This incident certainly alarmed Li Shimin.

After knowing this, he did not react much and just practiced Wang Xizhi's calligraphy.

East Palace.

The ministers arrived at Xiande Hall one after another, and seeing that the prince had been waiting for a long time, they all bowed to him.

"No gift."

"Please take a seat, gentlemen."

Li Chengqian said calmly. He was holding a memorial in his hand and reading it. It seemed that he had not finished reading it yet and did not talk to the ministers immediately.

Gao Shilian, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others were not in a hurry either, they were just a little curious.

Why would Prince of Jin, Li Zhi, serve the crown prince?

What is the reason for this?

Li Zhi was also aware of the gazes from the crowd, but he ignored them and whispered to his brother, the Crown Prince, "Minister of Civil Affairs Tang Jian is away, and Minister of War Li Ji is leading the troops..."

These are the two who failed to come.

Li Chengqian nodded without saying anything, so Li Zhi had to sit down obediently.

Shortly after.

Li Chengqian finally put down the memorial and said with a smile, "It's a bit hasty to invite you all here today."

"But I have not dealt with state affairs for a long time, so I must ask you for advice."

His words set the tone for this summons and also gave a signal.

I have to take care of government affairs.

Naturally, everyone understood what Li Chengqian meant.

After a year, the prince took charge of government affairs again.

In the current situation, this is something that everyone is happy to see.

The prince is wise, but he has never been involved in state affairs and is unaware of court affairs.

There will be gossip both inside and outside the court, and those who are important officials will be under tremendous pressure.

It's difficult to explain to His Majesty.

Are you guys abusing your power and not allowing the Crown Prince to participate in government affairs?

You guys want to make such a wise crown prince a tyrant in the future?
No one wants to hear such discussions.

"Your Highness' words are very important. We, the ministers, will do our best to assist you!"

Fang Xuanling said.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "This memorial was just sent from the Shangshu Province. It is about the arrangements for the educational pilot in Chang'an."

"After reading it, I found no problems with the teacher and the registration of students of school age."

"But there is one thing that I think is not quite right."

Gao Shilian asked doubtfully, "May I ask, Your Highness, what is wrong?"

"On this matter, the Ministry of Chancellery discussed it many times before finally deciding on this regulation."

"Zuo Pushe, what do you think?" Li Chengqian did not answer his uncle's words, but asked Fang Xuanling.

Gao Shilian was the Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat and also served in the Ministry of Personnel.

The Zuo Pushe was Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling paused, did not answer, and asked: "Your Highness, what aspects do you think need improvement?"

The others also looked puzzled.

Education pilot project in Changan.

Since this is a matter concerning the 'Emperor's disciples', everyone takes it very seriously.

The decision was made after the Secretariat discussed it and presented it to Your Majesty for your review many times.

It can be said that everyone is very satisfied.

They couldn't figure out what was missing from the prince.

“Textbook!”

Li Chengqian asked: "How do you arrange the teaching materials?"

"Still follow the elementary school textbooks."

"What I feel is lacking is why don't you make further changes?"

Fang Xuanling said seriously, "Your Highness, please give me some advice. How should we revise the elementary school textbooks?"

In fact, the elementary school textbooks were decided after many discussions among them.

After all, other schools and private academies all use elementary education textbooks.

It can be proved that it is effective in elementary education.

"Zuo Pushe, I have heard of the anecdote in the court."

"When Lord Du was alive, you were resourceful and Lord Du was decisive, and you assisted His Majesty with one heart, which was regarded as a good story."

When Li Chengqian talked about this, everyone almost couldn't keep up with the pace.

Why didn't you mention the enlightenment textbooks just now, but suddenly turned to talk about Fangmou Duduan's story?

How long has it been?
It’s been more than ten years. What’s the point of bringing it up now?
Fang Xuanling shook his head and lamented, "It's a pity that Mr. Du died young. I lost a close friend."

"Your Majesty often feels sorry for it."

Li Chengqian said: "Since it is a pity, why not compile it into a story, include it in the textbook, and spread it around?"

Ok?
Everyone looked up suddenly and looked at the prince in disbelief.

Changsun Wuji subconsciously looked at Fang Xuanling.

No.

Prince, what are you doing? "I think that enlightenment textbooks cannot remain unchanged, and should be improved."

"When our Tang Dynasty rose up and destroyed the tyrannical Sui Dynasty, how many stories can be passed down?"

"Your Majesty is young, wise and brave, and has created many historic stories."

"If it can't be included in the textbooks so that people can remember and learn from it, isn't it a great pity?"

Li Chengqian noticed everyone's reactions and said calmly, "Fang's plan and Du's judgment are an allusion."

"Your Majesty's archery skills are unparalleled, which is an allusion."

"Duke Zheng gave frank advice, and Your Majesty listened with an open mind..."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but straighten his chest, a look of pride on his face.

"You and your majesty have many more anecdotes and stories that can all be compiled into the textbooks."

Li Chengqian said: "Don't make it too complicated, keep it simple and easy to understand."

"Let the children be enlightened by your majesty's wisdom and bravery from an early age, and know that the emperor and his subjects of the Tang Dynasty are of one mind."

“Isn’t that a beautiful thing?”

He doesn't believe it and it will be rejected.

It is a great blessing to include you in the textbooks.

It was also due to the help of Li Shimin.

You still don't agree? You really don't know what's good for you.

If you can't even grasp the opportunity to leave your name in history, what else can you do?
Li Chengqian began to doubt the loyalty of these people.

He included various stories about Li Shimin into textbooks for a simple purpose.

The child was positively influenced by Li Shimin from a very young age.

Let them read and recite Li Shimin's anecdotes.

Children are like a blank piece of paper, and this is the time to influence their thoughts and paint freely.

Sow the seeds of love and respect in them, which will be deeply impressed and unforgettable.

In time, when they grow up, this group of "Emperor's disciples" will be more loyal and devoted to the Tang Dynasty.

This is just the first step.

Rather than letting others teach people to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it would be better for the court to take the initiative.

Take over the heavy responsibility of teaching and educating, and cultivate students who love the country and the people.

At that time, the national textbooks will be unified, and no matter what stage it is, knowledge must be imparted using textbooks compiled by the court.

Anyone who dares to use teaching materials outside the imperial court will be imprisoned and charged.

This is equivalent to cutting off most of the foundation of the aristocratic family.

The imperial examination was then improved and had a huge impact. As a step for promotion, it only tested things in the textbooks, nothing outside the textbooks.

Aristocratic family?

go to hell.

"Your Highness!"

Everyone present was excited. Who doesn't know what it means to be included in the textbook?

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Gao Shilian sighed, "Your Highness's four sentences of revelation are asking us to open our minds and think outside the box."

"As a result, I still stick to the old ways and don't think about improvement."

"Your Highness' words awakened me from my dream."

"I am ashamed."

The four sentences of Tianqi should be the four sentences of worshipping religion.

It was because of the four sentences Li Chengqian said in the Chongjiao Hall.

But later on, the word "chowk" was changed to "tianqi".

It will also be called the Four Sentences of Revelation.

Fang Xuanling also showed a look of shame, "I have failed to live up to the four words of Tianqi."

Wei Zheng was in high spirits. This was none of his business. You, the Shangshu Province and the Ministry of Rites, had not done a good job, so you should feel ashamed.

He wanted to criticize these people for almost missing the chance to have his story published in textbooks.

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

"Your Highness, what you said is indeed good advice."

"Your Majesty is wise and brave, and has a broad mind..."

He praised Li Shimin harshly, saying: "Everyone in the court knows it, but few people know it."

"If it is an enlightenment teaching material, after the children learn it, they can go home and tell their parents."

"Now, the people will know what a wise ruler your majesty is."

Zhang Sun Wuji could not help but speak out, "Your Highness, I think we should ask the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Chancellery to send back the regulations and draft them again."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Left and right servants."

"What do you say?"

Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian had nothing else to say. Now that things had come to this, they dared to continue to implement this regulation.

Not to mention that His Majesty would be unable to explain, even I would become a fool.

"I have not thought this through. Thank you for your enlightenment, Your Highness. We will make a new plan later..."

Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian expressed their opinions immediately. As for the Ministry of Rites, Li Daozon had not returned yet.

The Ministry of Rites has no say either.

"In that case."

Li Chengqian reached out and picked up the memorial, saying, "Please write your suggestions and present them to His Majesty for approval."

Li Zhi stood up, placed the memorial on a wooden tray, and walked towards Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian.

In addition to the memorial book, the wooden plate also contains white paper and ink.

Fang Xuanling paused: "Your Highness, this...I am a little confused."

"Write down your ideas for the enlightenment teaching materials on a piece of white paper, attach it to the memorial, and present it to Your Majesty. Once Your Majesty has a look, it will be clear to you."

"Your Majesty, if you think it is feasible, you can approve it. If not, you can call someone to inquire, or send it back for reconsideration."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "This will save a lot of effort."

Everyone was very surprised. Wei Zheng smiled and said, "This is a good idea."

Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian always felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

"Left and right ministers, please write first. When you are finished, please submit it to the Taiji Palace immediately."

"It just so happens that I want to take a look at other memorials."
