Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

After Li Chengyuan finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at Li Yunrui anymore and directly bowed to Emperor Qing:

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, I stumbled upon a few ideas: sincerity, uprightness of mind, self-cultivation, managing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world!

Based on this, I would like to write an article in public. I hope Your Majesty will review it!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing raised his eyebrows, glanced at Zhuang Mohan subtly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and nodded, "Okay!"

Seeing this, Eunuch Hou on the side hurriedly shouted, "Pen and ink!"

If it were someone else, Eunuch Hou might have rushed to write for him.

But this is Lee Seung-yeon!

His Slender Gold style calligraphy has long been independent and unique!

Countless scholars in the Kingdom of Qing tried their best to ask Li Chengyuan for a single word but to no avail!

Now Li Chengyuan finally has the opportunity to write. If he dares to write for others, he will probably incur public outrage.

Soon, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready.

Li Chengyuan didn't hesitate and knelt down directly.

Seeing this, Wan'er on the other side stood up and came over to grind ink for Li Chengyuan.

Li Yunrui almost died of anger after watching this scene!

This is a traitor!

How can you be the same as her?

Li Chengyuan ignored Li Yunrui. He smiled at Lin Wan'er, then looked up at Fan Xian and said, "Fan Xian, help me recite it!"

Fan Xian was already very excited. Upon hearing this, he immediately bowed and said, "I couldn't ask for more!"

After saying that, he walked to the other side of Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan picked up a wolf-hair brush, licked it full of ink, and started writing without thinking!

Those who were nearby, such as Li Chengze and Zhuang Mohan, had already come over out of curiosity.

The ministers below couldn't see and didn't dare to step forward. Their curiosity was like a cat scratching at something, and they could only hope that Fan Xian would read it quickly.

Finally, after Li Chengyuan started writing, Fan Xian's voice resounded throughout the hall.

"The Way of the Great Learning is to manifest the illuminating virtue, to love the people, and to rest in the highest good. Knowing the limit leads to determination; determination leads to tranquility; tranquility leads to peace; peace leads to consideration; consideration leads to achievement. Everything has its root and its end, every matter has its beginning and its end. Knowing what comes first and what comes later is the path to the Way..."

By chance, the peerless classic "The Great Learning," one of the Four Books of the previous life, finally appeared in this world!

Chapter 146: The Classic of Etiquette! Seal of Imperial Seal! Zhuang Mohan's Praise!

Dozens of people gathered in the huge Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, but no one dared to make any noise.

Everyone was listening attentively to Fan Xian's recitation.

Some people are so happy after hearing it that they scratch their ears and cheeks with joy.

Some people even got drunk without drinking any alcohol, and said that the dinner was worth it!

At the top, Emperor Qing's gaze changed from scrutiny to surprise, and finally to shock.

The prince looked dazed and obviously stunned.

The second brother Li Chengze's eyes showed an admiration that was hard to conceal.

Although he was "bullied" by Li Chengyuan many times, Li Chengze still admired Li Chengyuan's talent from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yunrui was dumbfounded.

Even though she was a crazy person, her pretty face turned pale at this moment.

She, who had some reading ability, knew very well that as long as Li Chengyuan finished writing this article, she would definitely lose tonight.

Moreover, it is very likely that she will be remembered by literati because of Li Chengyuan's article, and her reputation will be ruined and she will be infamous forever.

But Li Yunrui was not panicked.

After all, she is the eldest princess. Even if she made a huge mistake, she believed that Emperor Qing would not do anything to her!

As for reputation...what does a crazy woman like her care about?

What's more, since ancient times, most women have been the cause of trouble, and few of them have a good reputation.

Li Yunrui has a very clear understanding of this aspect.

She doesn't seek fame after death, she only seeks to reach the pinnacle of this life!

In fact, the most shocked person among those present was Zhuang Mohan.

Others can only listen for fun.

Only he can hear how valuable this article is!

The more Zhuang Mohan listened, the more shocked he became, and the more he despaired he became of "September 17".

He spent his whole life annotating scriptures and explaining texts, but he was only annotating other people's classic works.

Although he has created quite a few works, not many of them can be passed down to later generations.

Among these, none can be compared with "The Great Learning".

Zhuang Mohan was sure that once this article became widely circulated, it would be revered as the first classic of etiquette!

Such a status can be said to be unprecedented in history!

Looking at the young and high-spirited Li Chengyuan, Zhuang Mohan even felt that he was unworthy of being a great scholar!

...

No matter what everyone in the hall thinks.

Li Chengyuan continued writing without stopping.

Fan Xian also read very fluently and his voice was clear.

"In ancient times, those who wished to manifest illuminating virtue throughout the world first governed their country. Those who wished to govern their country first put their family in order. Those who wished to put their family in order first cultivated themselves. Those who wished to cultivate themselves first rectified their hearts. Those who wished to rectify their hearts first made their intentions sincere...

The so-called sincerity of intention is not to deceive oneself...

The poem goes: "Look at the Qi'ao, where the bamboos are lush and dense. There is a noble man, like a sharp knife, like a polished stone...

The rites say: "One should be able to manifest virtue," "One should look back to the clear mandate of Heaven," and "One should be able to manifest lofty virtue..."

There is a great way to make money: many make it, few consume it; those who work are diligent, and those who spend it are comfortable. Then wealth will always be sufficient... Even if there are virtuous people, there is nothing they can do about it! This is what is meant by a country not considering profit as profit, but considering righteousness as profit.

"The Great Learning" - written by Li Chengyuan during the state banquet at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the summer of the fourth year of the Qingli reign period!

When Fan Xian finished reading the last word, the entire hall was still as silent as opium.

Not that I have any opinion.

On the contrary, everyone was immersed in this crappy article and couldn't extricate themselves.

Xin Qiwu had the most exaggerated expression, his face flushed with intoxication, as if he had taken drugs.

After an unknown amount of time, someone finally shouted, "Cai!"

This person's words broke the silence in the ceremony.

Everyone seemed to have just woken up from their dream and cheered excitedly.

Some were even so excited that they kept clapping their hands and exclaiming in admiration!

There was a buzz of discussion throughout the hall.

"What a magnificent article! Truly a magnificent article! The way of the university is to manifest the bright virtue, to be close to the people, and to strive for the highest good... Just reading the opening paragraph is like drinking fine wine, and one cannot stop!"

"It is truly a magnificent piece of writing. There are so many thought-provoking sentences in this article, especially the section in the middle of the book of propriety, which says: 'If you continue to improve yourself, you will continue to improve yourself day by day, and you will continue to improve yourself day by day.' 'The territory of a state is a thousand miles, and the people are its only hope...' Oh, it truly is the truth of the great way!"

"How wonderful! How wonderful! I am so happy to see such a magnificent work written by a scholar from Qing Country. I have no regrets in this life!"

"Your Highness is worthy of being the most talented scholar in Qing State. Based on this article alone, I would like to honor Your Highness as the leader of the literary world!"

"I second the motion! I dare to assert that His Highness the Third Prince will become a great scholar in the future!"

"More than a great scholar! I believe that His Highness will become a literary sage in the future!"

"Seconded!"

.......

Praises are heard everywhere.

Listening to these praises, the prince looked puzzled, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Chengze was both amazed and regretful.

The eldest princess's face was terribly gloomy.

Zhuang Mohan kept sighing.

Fan Xian's face was full of admiration.

The admiration and love in Wan'er's eyes could no longer be hidden.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Qing at the top finally spoke.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The entire hall fell silent in an instant.

Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengyuan and called softly, "Li Chengyuan, show me your article!"

"My son obeys the order!"

Li Chengyuan stood up, but was not in a hurry.

Instead, he took out the seal first, stamped it at the signature, and then picked up the article and handed it to Eunuch Hou, who was excited.

Eunuch Hou carefully held the article and handed it to Emperor Qing.

The wine and food in front of Emperor Qing had been removed and the table had been wiped clean.

Emperor Qing unfolded the article on the table.

Looking at the iron-stroked and silver-hooked Thin Gold script and the powerful text with every word as precious as a pearl, Emperor Qing was in a good mood, as if he was proud of it.

Then in everyone's shocked eyes.
