"Your Majesty, please give me a word!"

Li Mu suddenly shouted loudly.

Although it has not reached the level of sound and vibration, it is almost the same. The hall is empty and there is an echo. It has suppressed Li Shimin. What does it mean? If you get into trouble, you still dare to speak?

Li Mu got up from the kneeling position and saluted Li Shimin very formally, saying, "Your Majesty, I will accept punishment if your Majesty feels that what I say is rude."

Li Shimin was quite surprised to see Li Mu so formal. Usually Li Mu is the one who makes serious anger unserious. If he is serious, he will probably be acting, but this time, Li Shimin doesn't feel like him.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Li Mu, you should know what you are saying. In the past, I don't care if you said something wrong, but you should think about it before talking about it."

"I have already thought about it."

"you say."

"Wait for a moment." Li Mu said, squatting down and swallowing the meat in the bowl. This operation was so surprising. The veins on Li Shimin's forehead began to jump again. What kind of monster is this kid doing?

Li Mu finished eating quickly, applied the oil on his mouth, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I am indeed hungry, I haven't eaten enough in the morning, I am still sick-"

"Okay, no need to explain, hurry up and say it!"

"Okay!" Li Mu became serious again and said, "Your Majesty, what I want to say in Japan is actually the word "ambition". It's just that I heard Lao Kong teach the benevolent politics and couldn't help but refute it. There were other students here, so I didn't say it."

"Why should I talk about ambition? Because I discovered that whether it is from the life of Confucius, the life of the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty, or the life of my minister, the life of countless heroes in history, ambition is a very important, or even the most important thing."

"If Confucius had not been 'five to learn', how could he achieve the position of saints? If the Supreme Emperor and Your Majesty do not set aside the ambition to quell the war and save the people, they will be foolish and loyal to the Sui Dynasty. If the people of the people today will definitely be suffering from the war. Besides, if they were not thrown into the Ministry of Works by Your Majesty, they would have been in a good mood and did not give up on themselves and started reforming, I am afraid that they would become the most popular."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "You kid must add something I don't like to listen to? Why, I have not treated you well and I have wronged you everywhere?"

"I didn't say it." Li Mu murmured quickly and continued, "Let's talk about the ancients, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, who set his ambition at the age of 48, then in just a few years, destroyed Qin and Chu and established the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han established his ambition to defeat the Huns since childhood, so he had the great achievements of "eliminating the Huns to the north of the border". There are too many such examples. This can also answer another question from Your Majesty. Just now, Your Majesty asked me that Old Confucius could not teach benevolent politics, so how could I teach? I said that I could not teach, but I did not tell Your Majesty who could. Now I can tell Your Majesty that history books can. Throughout the dynasties, the founding and destruction of countries have been recorded in detail in history books. Using history as a lesson, you can understand the gains and losses."

"The same history, for example, the wise monarchs of the previous dynasty would see the advantages and strengths of Emperor Wen of Sui, while the tyrannical monarchs would learn the pleasures and arrogance of Emperor Yang of Sui. The wise are virtuous, while the violent ones are violent. This is what the minister has always said, the reason why Rao Shun is Yao and Shun is because they are Yao and Shun themselves, not who will lead the monarch and Rao Shun. If they don't learn the tyrannical monarch and learn the wise monarch, they can be virtuous. This is the monarch's own cultivation and no one can teach them."

"Let's go back to the ambitions of the prince and the king of Yue. I deliberately said something shocking to the world, just to ask the true thoughts of the prince and the king of Yue. Judging from their colors, at least I think that the prince and the king of Yue did not lie, and they were all telling the truth. Your Majesty thought carefully, are people willing to live for their own ambitions, or are they willing to live for others' ambitions?"

"If the prince wants to be a general, the general will follow the martial arts. If you ask the prince to learn the classics every day, can he learn it? Even if he is forced to learn it, he will be forced to do so, not sincerely."

Li Chengqian was crying when he heard this, and he wanted to shout, "Brother, you understand me!" Li Tai nodded beside him. Although he was not opposed to learning, he felt a little bored and bored about Kong Yingda's lessons.

Kong Yingda couldn't help it anymore and said unconvincedly: "But he is the prince, and the prince should learn these things. This has been the case in all dynasties. Why did it become a problem when you get to you?"

Li Mu was calm and asked with a smile: "Old Confucius, can you give me an example: A generation of founding kings or the lords of Zhongxing, who founded the country or Zhongxing was taught by the teacher?"

Kong Yingda was speechless when she was criticized, while Li Shimin thought about it.

Li Mu continued: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my crimes. The crown prince and the king of Yue are both legitimately born. If there is a dispute over the throne in the future, it will be between the two. The result of the question today is very good, and the king of Yue has no such thoughts. But even if there is a thought, I think it is okay. King of Yue has this thought, and the crown prince needs to work harder. He is the crown prince and is unique. Your Majesty's will belong to him, and all officials and the people's will belong to him. If he is really taken away from the throne by King of Yue, it can only mean one thing: the crown prince is not as good as King of Yue. If the crown prince is really not as good as King of Yue, he will not be qualified to be the crown prince. The Li Tang Dynasty's territory cannot be handed over to a prince who is not outstanding enough!"

This speech was deafening, and Kong Yingda was sweating profusely when he heard it, but he did not dare to say anything, because if he objected, it would be like slapping Li Shimin in the face. Isn’t Li Shimin’s throne just stolen?

But he was the prince's teacher, and he had to say, biting his back teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please stop Zhulu Hou, he is so ruthless!"

Li Shimin said with a cold face: "Let him continue talking."

"His Majesty--"

"Li Mu, you said!"

Li Mu looked at Kong Yingda and said, "Old Confucius, I know what I am talking about. I will ask you, if the prince is not as much as the King of Yue, you can protect it, you can protect it? No matter how you protect it, it is a waste, not a throne taken away by your brothers, but also by others. This is a destiny, and it has been like this throughout history. So what I mean is to tell the prince that being a prince is not what the destiny belongs to heaven. The emperor is the destiny belongs to heaven, and the prince is more of a responsibility. Your father will eventually grow old, and you will be crowned emperor. What abilities do you have, worthy of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains given to you by your father, what abilities do you have, worthy of the love of all officials and peoples, and what abilities do you have, which can make all nations respect and come to court and expand territory?"

"By pure talk? Beautiful writing? Beautiful writing? Beautiful writing?

"If there are generals in the country, and as the prince, the future emperor, can you suppress the general and serve you? If you can't, how can you know that the general will not be able to rebel against the cavalry? Can you suppress the ministers left by your father to your ministers? If you can't suppress the power and power belong to the hands of the prime minister and the relatives, you can only be the emperor in the palace. Is this the destination of the Li Tang Dynasty?"

Li Chengqian was sweating profusely. He was just a twelve-year-old child after all. These words were indeed a bit premature for him.

Li Mu looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty just said that there is no shortage of the general of the Crown Prince in the court now. Yes, I also admit that my civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty are outstanding. But I would like to ask Your Majesty, are these people convinced by Your Majesty, and be convinced by Your Majesty? They serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly, and can they also be driven by Your Majesty in the future?"

"Why is Your Majesty silent? Because you know, the answer must be no."

"I can assert that if the prince's ability is not enough, even if he is the national uncle, he will not be the one who can trust him all!"

Li Shimin's lips trembled slightly and he murmured: "Super machine, he - probably won't,"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I am not framed by the uncle of the country. I just say it casually. If you believe it or not, your Majesty will make a judgment." Then he continued, "It is both civil and military, and I yearn for it, but it is really difficult. The prince is talented and can only choose one of the two. He likes martial arts. If he asks me to make a decision, I will choose to support the prince Congwu. And in my opinion, the prince Congwu is just right."

"If the prince follows the civil servants and the military generals rebel, the prince does not know how to use them, or there is no general in the court, he will have no way to do anything. If the prince follows the civil servants, he will get too close to the civil servants and alienate his relationship with the military generals. Since ancient times, nine out of ten civil servants have defeated the civil servants, and the military generals can still succeed. It is because war is a powerful weapon for the country. If the powerful weapon is faked by man, will your Majesty be the turn of the emperor today?"

This sentence hurts the heart, Kong Yingda no longer dares to speak, and Li Shimin is also stunned and can't speak. Looking at Li Chengqian and Li Tai, he is completely confused.

When he reached this point, he could no longer stop. Li Mu took a deep breath and continued: "The prince needs to value his virtue when he learns martial arts. He uses virtue to restrict the tyrannical heart brought by martial arts. Just like His Majesty, he can raise his mind and tolerate others, so that he can achieve something. As for the final result, it is better to leave it to fate. Because the prince has some ability, it depends on himself!"

"Besides, King Yue is obsessed with the body. I am frank and said frankly that if King Yue continues to be so fat, even if he wants to rebel, he will not succeed. The old saying goes, "If you succeed, you will be in a good position, and the world is the right place and the people are harmonious. How can you succeed? Therefore, King Yue has no idea, which means that this child is still a smart child. The ambition he chose for himself is to follow the text, which is also the best direction for King Yue."

"Looking back on history, if a prince is not a prince, he will follow a warrior, it will be a hidden danger. Whether it is practicing martial arts or fighting, as long as he is following martial arts, this road will breed tyranny and ambitions. It is not a problem for others to have ambitions, but it is said that the prince has developed ambitions, and his ambitions are most likely to be for the throne. Whether it is successful or failure, the country's fate will be greatly damaged. Therefore, King Yue is very supportive of the article. If Your Majesty agrees, I am willing to accept King Yue as a disciple. It is exactly what he yearns for. The miscellaneous learning that I am good at."

Li Tai was completely confused, but suddenly heard that Li Mu was willing to accept him as his disciple and immediately became alive. The fat little leg jumped up and ran to Li Shimin to hug his thighs: "Father! I want to take the elder brother as my teacher! Please allow my father to allow me!"

Li Shimin was still digesting Li Mu's words. When he heard Li Tai say he was a disciple, he subconsciously said: "Wait, let me think about it-"

"Father--"

Li Shimin said irritably: "Okay, please, please!"

Li Shimin gently pulled Li Tai up and said to Li Mu: "If you think, how should the prince and the king of Yue be educated?"

"Your Majesty should allow the prince to practice martial arts, choose good teachers to teach his martial arts, and choose a general to teach his strategies. At the same time, please ask old Confucius to teach him the eight-character mantras of Confucius's teachings every day. Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, trustworthiness, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and build his character. Others are not very important. Let the prince choose to learn or not according to his wishes, without compulsory."

"King Yue, just let him follow me. If I guide him casually, he will be busy."

Li Chengqian was unwilling to accept his wish, "Brother, why are you so fond of Qingque? Why do I have to learn so much? Qingque can be so relaxed!"

"Because you are the prince."

"I can't be the prince!"

"You are the prince, and you can't say that you don't want to be the prince. The prince cannot be the prince yourself. You are deposed only by being unvirtuous. You have no choice. This is the meaning of your birth, this is the value of your existence, this is the reason why the prince is the prince's responsibility. Otherwise, why should your father give you thousands of miles of land? Why do you enjoy everything you have now? Is it your own ability?"

"I can also tell you that the deposed prince has no way to live. It is the prince who can live, but it is not the prince who has to die!"

Li Mu said sternly: "Prince, do you know that in this Chang'an City, there are so many children as old as you, who are hungry and cannot get a steamed bun for a day? I can't understand, what are you complaining about!"

Li Chengqian was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. He suddenly realized that Li Mu was smiling and suddenly became serious. It was really scary, and no one could tell him.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was scolded, Li Shimin was not angry at all. He took a deep breath and said, "Chengqian, Li Mu is right. The prince did not want to be the emperor or not. Your father is the emperor, and you were born as the prince. You can't say such things in the future. If you want to be a general, your father will support you. After this day, you can complete your studies in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon. I will inform Li Jing and teach you the art of war. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Li Jing destroyed the Turks, and the government and the government had already known as the "military god". Li Chengqian had long yearned for it. How could he be dissatisfied with it? He said: "Father, son minister--"

"cough!"

Li Mu suddenly coughed, and Li Chengqian looked back strangely, didn't understand what it meant, and turned back and said excitedly: "My son is very full--"

"Ahem!!"

Li Mu coughed three more times and cursed in his heart. No wonder the rebellion in history has been a mess. This naughty child has no brains!

Sure enough, Li Chengqian was stunned and turned around and asked, "Brother, why are you coughing? You don't know how to make a military move, of course I have to learn from General Li Jing!"
