He said that if Your Highness could write a complete article or even a complete book based on this passage, Your Highness might even become a saint of etiquette and law!

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but smile.

Although he did not want Li Chengyuan to inherit the throne, he did not have much father-son affection for Li Chengyuan.

But no matter what, he is Li Chengyuan's father.

As a father, he must feel proud that his son is successful.

After admiring it for a moment, Emperor Qing said, "The sage of ritual and law is too much. Li Chengyuan is not qualified. But this passage is indeed well written. You go and convey my oral instructions and have Li Chengyuan expand this passage into an article."

Let him write well, I will check it after a while!"

"Yes!"

"Also, the Crown Prince is in Guangxin Palace, right? Send a copy of this to Guangxin Palace! And also send a copy to Li Chengze!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Eunuch Hou, please take the order and leave!

After Eunuch Hou left, Emperor Qing looked at the paper in his hand and murmured to himself, "Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world... These are quite ambitious things, but what a pity!"

......

Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui and the prince sat opposite each other and drank tea as usual.

Li Yunrui held Li Chengyuan's article in his hand, his eyes full of excitement.

"The third brother can even write articles! His talent is so great that it makes people jealous!"

The prince replied, "Third brother has always been an outstanding writer, no wonder!"

Li Yunrui looked at the prince and chuckled, "Do you still think that the Third Brother is on the same page with you?"

The prince shook his head and said, "From the beginning to the end, I never thought that the third brother would be on the same page with me.

My father trained him not to make him support me, but to make him the second Li Chengze. I know all this.

I just didn't expect that the third brother would develop so quickly!"

"I'm not surprised by this!" Li Yunrui said, "With His Majesty's dedication to training him, it won't be difficult for him to rise.

What's more, this time, because of me, both you and the second brother were implicated, and he got the advantage!

Come to think of it, you should blame me for causing such a tragedy because of me, right? "

"Aunt, what are you talking about?" The prince shook his head and said, "It's just the loss of a few court officials, it's not a big deal. As long as your inner treasury is saved, then we won't lose anything!"

"The Imperial Treasury..." Li Yunrui's smile faded upon hearing this. "Do you think His Majesty will truly give up on his plan to take the Imperial Treasury from me?"

"Aunt, what do you mean by that?" the Crown Prince asked, puzzled. "After Lin Gong's death, there's no chance for Wan'er and Fan Xian anymore. They can't get married, so naturally, Fan Xian can't inherit the inner treasury either!"

Li Yunrui shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. I think we were wrong before!

The ownership of the inner treasury's financial power has nothing to do with who Wan'er marries. This is just an excuse from Your Majesty!

The real crux of the matter is not who Wan'er marries, but who Your Majesty wants to take over the inner treasury!"

The Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "Aunt, are you suggesting that His Majesty will find a way to give the inner treasury to Fan Xian?"

Li Yunrui said calmly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out!

Think about it, it's so obvious that Fan Xian killed Lin Gong, there's no way His Majesty doesn't know the truth.

But he still acquitted Fan Xian and even gave him an official position!

what does that mean?"

"Does this mean...Fan Xian is the third knife in His Majesty's hand. Like the third brother, His Majesty wants to train him. So, even though he and Wan'er broke their agreement, he still has a chance to inherit the inner treasury?" The Crown Prince frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head. "Aunt, these are just your guesses!"

"Really?" Li Yunrui smiled noncommittally, "Perhaps! Actually, none of this matters. Regardless of whether His Majesty will allow Fan Xian to inherit the inner treasury, one thing is certain: His Majesty must train Fan Xian.

And this is what I dislike the most. I don’t like Fan Xian’s high-spirited look!

Moreover, if you don't kill the snake, there will be endless troubles; only by cutting the grass and eradicating its roots can you eliminate future troubles!"

Upon hearing this, the prince couldn't help but feel a headache and asked, "Aunt, you don't want to continue the assassination, do you?"

"No! Don't worry! I'm tired of assassinations!" Li Yunrui said with a smile: "I want to do something more interesting now!"

(bfbd) As Li Yunrui spoke, his gaze slowly turned to the article written by Li Chengyuan, and a crazy smile slowly spread across his face.

Prince: "..."

......

Prince Qin's Mansion!

Li Chengze was swinging on the swing, holding Li Chengyuan's article in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a pity! What a pity!"

"Your Highness, what do you feel sorry about?" Xie Bian asked in confusion.

"It's a pity that the third brother is my younger brother. If he were a minister, I would have him under my command at all costs!" Li Chengze looked at the article in his hand with an expression of wanting but not getting it, and said, "I really like the third brother's literary talent!"

"But Your Highness, the Third Prince is now your opponent!"

"Haha, not even an opponent!" Li Chengze laughed and said, "When the Third Brother steps to the front, the one who should be anxious shouldn't be me, but the Crown Prince!

Do you know what I’m thinking about right now?”

"what's up?"

"If I plot against the Third Brother again, do you think he would still have the guts to come to my house and settle the score with me?"

Xie Bian: “…”

Xie Bian didn't say anything, he just felt pain on his face!

Li Chengze provoked the third prince twice, and he was beaten twice!

Both beatings were still fresh in his memory.

If possible, he really doesn't want to experience it a third time!

After Li Chengze finished speaking, he saw that Xie Bian did not respond.

Looking up, he found Xie Bian's face as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I said that Lao San and I are not enemies now. If he doesn't absolutely want me, I won't provoke him.

On the contrary, if possible, I would like to form an alliance with him!"

Xie Bian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"By the way, if you have time, please help me make an appointment with Fan Xian!"

"Your Highness still wants to recruit him?"

"Of course!" Li Chengze said calmly, "If we can't win over the Third Brother, then recruiting Fan Xian to quench our thirst is also a good option!"

"But Fan Xian can no longer inherit the inner treasury!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze rolled his eyes at Xie Bian.

"Can you use your brain? Even if Fan Xian doesn't have an inner treasury, he still has unlimited potential, understand?

Furthermore, can you guarantee that Fan Xian really cannot inherit the inner treasury?"

Xie Bian was so angry that he lost his temper.

After giving an awkward smile, he turned and left in a hurry.

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

.....

Perhaps even Li Chengyuan himself could not have imagined it.

The fragment of "Book of Rites" that he casually "copied" caused a huge uproar in the officialdom of Qing State and even in the literary world of Qing State.

As we all know, the literary world is mainly based on classics and historical books, supplemented by articles, and poetry is just a minor subject.

Therefore, even though Li Chengyuan had written more than a dozen amazing poems before, he could only be respected as "the future of Qing Dynasty's literature" and dared not say that he was the top of Qing Dynasty's literary world.

Now, as soon as Li Chengyuan's short article came out, the entire Qing Dynasty literary world went crazy!

They originally thought that Li Chengyuan could only write poetry, but they didn't expect that Li Chengyuan could even write articles, and his attainments were so high!

Although this "Theory of Self-cultivation" is only a few short sentences.

But for some articles, just a few sentences are enough.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Li Chengyuan completed this article, even if the rest of the chapters were "nonsense", this article would be passed down through the ages because of this sentence!

That would be amazing.

Li Chengyuan had only written a dozen or so poems, but the literary world of Qing Kingdom dared to say that he was the future of literature.

Now that he has written a masterpiece, the Qing Kingdom dares to honor him as the leader of the literary world!!!

There is no way, the literary world of Qing Kingdom has been weak for too long!

A few decades ago, some scholars were even proud of passing the imperial examination to become a Jinshi in the State of Qi!

This shows how inferior the literary world of Qing Dynasty is!

Now that Li Chengyuan has finally appeared, they must praise him to death!

Therefore, Li Chengyuan's short article really caused a stir in the literary world of Qing Kingdom.

Many people rushed out of the Shixin Gate and loudly begged Li Chengyuan to finish the article.

There are also many people kneeling outside the gate of Shih Hsin University, wanting to become disciples and study!

This caused the patrolling guards at Shixin Gate to be extremely anxious and the scene was extremely chaotic.

.....

On the other hand, the officialdom of Qing State was also affected.

In the past, everyone believed that the Third Prince Li Chengyuan was just a dandy prince who could write poetry. Many people even felt sorry and criticized the Third Prince for his attachment to the flower boat.

It was not until yesterday, when Li Chengyuan broke into the Inspection Institute, forced the two main directors of the Procuratorate to retreat, and mocked Chen Pingping to his face, that the officials in the court began to look at Li Chengyuan with admiration!

There is no way. The Censorate has "bullied" the ministers too badly over the years.

Many ministers dared not speak out against the procuratorate.
