Li Shimin asked,""Why does my son want the position of Crown Prince's Junior Guardian? Could it be that you found that good teacher?"
"Father Tianhui, your son has indeed found a good teacher.”Since Li Chengqian had already said it, he simply didn't care too much and immediately answered.
"Oh? Which minister is it?" Subconsciously, Li Shiming felt that the teacher his son had found should be one of the civil officials. He did not know that the teacher Li Chengqian mentioned was someone of the same age as him.
"He, he has no official position." He had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.
"No official position? Could it be an expert hiding in the marketplace?”Li Shiming was not shocked by his son's words. After all, the Great Tang had just been established, and there were indeed many experts hiding in the mountains and forests, unwilling to show themselves.
"He is not an expert. Instead, he is a great person that your son recognized in Wannian County…Brother!" Li Chengqian didn't beat around the bush and directly said it. However, when he introduced Lu Yuan, he immediately changed his words. Jokingly, he acknowledged Lu Yuan as his elder brother. This was his own matter. If his father knew about it, he would definitely be furious.
" Brother???" As the saying goes, the wise are the teachers, and the elders are the brothers. This was a sacred saying since ancient times, so Li Shimin didn't care about this. What he really wondered was, what kind of talents were there in Wannian County? He never knew. Moreover, since his son had said the word 'elder brother', he must not be that old.
"Is he the descendant of an aristocratic family?" Li Shimin asked.
"No!" Li Chengqian shook his head.
"He's the descendant of a celebrity?" Li Shi Min asked again.
"No!" Li Chengqian continued to shake his head.
Li Shiming's frown became more and more serious after hearing these questions.
He now felt that his son was being a little mischievous.
"Who exactly is he?" Finally, Li Shi Min said.
Hearing that his father was a little angry, Li Chengqian immediately said nervously,"I hope that father can atone for his sins. This person is a young prodigy I met when I was patrolling Wannian County. Although this person is similar in age to me, he is definitely qualified to be my teacher!”
"What? Similar age? What nonsense! Nonsense!" Hearing this, Li Shiming immediately thought that his son had met some kind of swindler and was bewitched.
Letting a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth be the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian? If this were to spread, it would simply make the world a joke.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to agree.
"Imperial Father, do you still remember that you asked your son many times about the art of governing the country? Your son could answer them in a short period of time every time, which made Imperial Father extremely gratified. Your son would also be frank today. All of this was taught by this elder brother of yours.”In order to make Li Shiming agree, Li Chengqian simply told him a little secret.
When he finished speaking.
Li Shiming was slightly stunned. Indeed, some time ago, he would send someone to ask his son some questions about governing the country to see how his son would answer.
But every time, his son's answers were very beautiful, and even far exceeded his own thoughts. Therefore, he had repeatedly shown off in front of his officials, just like some parents in the future who took full marks to show their friends.
At this moment, when he found out that his son had copied the full marks from the exam paper, Li Shiming couldn't help but be furious.
However, this was not the most important thing at the moment. It was the elder brother that the other party spoke of.
One had to know that the questions he asked were all directed at the ministers, but in the end, they were answered by a country boy. This was also considered a strange story.
But what kind of person was Li Shimin?
As the emperor, he definitely would not believe a one-sided story.
What if his son was lying?
For this, he directly said,"No matter who answered the question of governing the country, how can a fifteen-year-old young man be the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian?" Don't mention this again."
"Father!" Li Chengqian could not help but say excitedly when he saw his father making such a great decision.
"Don't mention it again!" However, Li Shiming had already made up his mind.
Seeing this situation.
Li Chengqian frowned. He did not know what to do.
However, his father was still the emperor. Everything in the world was up to him.
But he couldn't let his big brother down, right?
For this reason, he suddenly had a plan. He did not care so much and said directly,"Since Father has made up his mind, your son will not say anything more. It's just that Father is also such a person!”
Li Shiming was curious.
What did he mean by that? Those people?
"Chengqian, don't beat around the bush and use goading to fool zhen. Just say what you want to say.”After all, he was his son, so Li Shiming didn't hold back and directly pointed out the other party's scheme.
"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son does not wish to say it. I can only use the poem that my elder brother once wrote to answer Imperial Father!”Li Chengqian saw that his father's appetite had been hooked by him, and his heart was delighted. He felt that there was still hope for this matter, so he immediately answered seriously.
"Speak!" Although Li Shiming saw through this trick, curiosity killed the cat. Li Shiming was a man, not a god. He naturally couldn't help but want to know. Therefore, he didn't care much and asked directly.
Facing Li Shiming's words.
Li Chengqian quickly replied," I'd rather bully a white-bearded old man than bully a poor young man. One day, a dragon will wear a phoenix. I don't believe that I'll wear pants forever."”
This poem was recited by Lu Yuan by chance.
The meaning of the poem was very simple.
It was better to look down on a poor old man than a poor young man because the future of a young man was limitless. If a young man worked hard, he would one day be successful. As long as he believed in himself, he would not be able to wear a pair of pants with holes in them for the rest of his life.
This poem originated from the Ming Dynasty a thousand years later. It was written by a literary master in The Scholars.
And this poem was regarded as the motto of countless students in the future.
One could imagine how powerful this poem was.
This was…
After Li Chengqian finished speaking.
Li Shiming, who had made up his mind, immediately frowned.
He couldn't help but ponder over this poem.
Although the artistic conception of this poem was not that high, the profound truth in it was very important.
A few minutes later, Li Shiming smiled.
"To be able to recite such a poem, he is quite a good talent.”Li Shi Min murmured.
" Thank you, Imperial Father!!" When Li Chengqian saw this, he immediately took advantage of the situation and knelt on the ground, ready to cook the rice.
"What are you thanking me for? Zhen has not agreed yet." Li Shi Min was helpless when he saw his son being so sly. He couldn't help but answer immediately, but this time, he didn't say it with certainty.
"However, since Chengqian strongly recommended this person, he must have his own abilities.”
"How about this, let's put the matter of the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian aside for now. Wait for Zhen to personally test this person. If he is really as wonderful as you say, Zhen will consider it.”
There were two reasons for Li Shiming to say this.
First, after Li Chengqian's words, he was sure that this person was interesting and talented.
Secondly, Li Chengqian was in a bad mood during this period of time. After all, his teacher had passed away, so he could not sprinkle salt on his wounds. Moreover, he did not reject or agree. This way, it was killing two birds with one stone. It would be good to wait until he personally assessed before making a conclusion.
"Son, thank you, Imperial Father." As for Li Chengqian, from the beginning, he refused to agree no matter what, but now that he thought about it, this was already a huge concession. Therefore, he did not continue to force it and immediately became happy.
Let's talk about Lu Yuan.
He was sleeping soundly and did not know that Tang's BOSS was going to personally interview him!
I'm kneeling down to reward the evaluation tickets and beg for the support of all the readers!!!
