Chapter 184 Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles

Li Zhi was instantly confused. There are so many great Confucian scholars who can't teach you a little brat, but a goose can teach you so many principles.

If this word spreads, those great scholars who taught you will not be able to hit the wall and die.

Moreover, Li Hong said that he didn't believe it at all. If a goose can teach people, why would he need a teacher?

"Father, it's true."

Li Hong quickly told everything that happened on the farm.

Afraid that his father wouldn't believe it, he even lifted up his clothes and showed all the red areas where the goose had pecked him.

Seeing that Li Hong's body was red and blue, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were both dumbfounded.

With injuries as proof, could it be that his son really learned so many principles from the big goose?

"Father and Queen, haven't you noticed that Hongdi is different from before?"

Li Yanran quickly helped him take off his clothes, and then looked at Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.

"What's different? It does seem a little different."

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Li Zhi was stunned again. After saying this, it seemed that his son was indeed a little different from before.

"Even in the face of my father's bamboo whip, he was able to stick to his heart and not betray me. He was more responsible and had more courage that a man should have."

Li Yanran nodded, she had seen Li Hong's growth.

Not to mention anything else, Li Hong already looks a bit like a little man to her.

Wu Zetian came to Li Hong. She could beat her son by herself, but she was really distressed when he was beaten by others, especially by a goose.

"Father, as the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

Now is the time for Hongdi to understand the world. If you really limit him to books, he will succeed to the throne in the future. Are you going to let him rely on books to govern the Tang Dynasty?

I think my father should be allowed to travel more, see more, and understand the suffering of the people.

Only in this way can we be a good emperor who works for the welfare of the people and makes a living for the common people."

Li Yanran looked at Li Zhi and expressed all her thoughts.

"this"

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Li Zhi also hesitated a little. No one understands better than him how difficult it is to be an emperor.

He also knew that only reading books was not enough to govern the world.

But Li Hong was still so young, and it was a time when wildness was hard to find. If he learned anything bad, the Tang Dynasty would be in trouble.

"Yanran, you don't understand your father's concerns."

Wu Zetian understood Li Zhi best and knew what he was worried about.

"I understand my father's concerns. Hongdi is indeed still young, and there is a melting pot outside the palace. Some are positive and some are miserable.

But if we are afraid, we will not let Hongdi come into contact with the world. Is this really good?

You see, I grew up outside the palace, didn’t I get infected with those nasty things?

I can, and I believe Hongdi can too."

As soon as Li Yanran rolled her eyes, she understood what Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were worried about, but they refused to let him have contact because they were afraid. Is this really right?

"Of course you are fine, but he is my crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

If Hong'er turns bad, it won't just be him, but the entire Tang Dynasty, and no one will be able to bear this responsibility."

Li Zhi patted Li Yanran's shoulder. It wasn't that he didn't want to, it was that he couldn't.

"Your Majesty, what Yan Ran said actually makes sense. It's really not possible to work behind closed doors, so it's better to do this.

Hong'er is allowed to leave the palace once every seven days, but someone must follow him. This will not only prevent him from being a bad learner, but also allow him to gain knowledge and gain the best of both worlds."

Wu Zetian glanced at Li Hong, who was full of expectations, and felt a little distressed.

"this"

Li Zhi hesitated again. The method Wu Zetian said was a solution, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

After all, this is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, not just a cat or a dog, so who knows what problems may arise.

"Father, I promise that I will not turn bad. After I leave the palace, I will be obedient and will never look for trouble. Just agree to it."

Li Hong also approached Li Zhi, shook his arm and prayed.

"Okay, seven days is too short, ten days, you can leave the palace once every ten days."

Glancing at Li Hong, Li Zhi didn't have much to say. It didn't matter if he let the child go out to see something. At worst, it would be better to send more people to follow him.

"Yeah, long live my father, oh."

Li Hong jumped up, but when his butt hurt, his little face immediately twisted together again.

"Father, Hongdi's matter has been successfully resolved, and now it's my matter."

Li Yanran smiled and glanced at Li Zhi mischievously.

"What's your matter? My father has decided not to pursue you for taking your brother out of the palace, so you don't have to be punished."

Li Zhi glanced at Li Yanran and blocked her mouth with words first.

"Father, you are evil."

Li Yanran made a face at Li Zhi and threw herself into Wu Zetian's arms.

"Auntie, look at Father."

Wu Zetian touched Li Yanran's hair, her eyes full of love.

She could be tough on anyone, but she felt guilty for her daughter, who had been left outside the palace for so many years.

"Xiao Yanran, what do you want to say?"

"Auntie, Yanran still means that, this palace is really not suitable for me, why don't you let me out of the palace.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, this saying also applies to Yanran."

Li Yanran held Wu Zetian's waist, her eyes full of prayer.

"this"

After hearing this, Wu Zetian also hesitated a little.

She really didn't want Li Yanran to go out. In her opinion, the palace was her home. If she went out, wouldn't she have to suffer the pain of being separated from her flesh and blood again?

"My father must be able to understand Yanran's difficulties, right?"

Li Yanran glanced at Li Zhi and rubbed her fingers together, which was a signal to the other party.

Dad, you should hurry up and add some firepower, otherwise your money will be in trouble.

"Mei Niang, if that doesn't work, let her leave the palace. This palace cannot accommodate her.

It has only been a few days, but he first contradicted Master Xu Yu and then took Hong'er out of the palace.

If she is allowed to stay any longer, the palace will probably be overthrown by her."

Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Li Yanran, "You will harm me all day long, you are really drunk."

"Is this really good?"

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, still a little hesitant.

"Mother, although this palace is rich in clothing and food, it is like a prison to Yanran. If I stay in the palace any longer, I am afraid I will go crazy.

Besides, my father can give me a gold medal, and as long as my mother misses me, I will fly back immediately."

Li Yanran looked at Wu Zetian, knowing what she was thinking, and immediately started acting coquettishly.

Wu Zetian touched Li Yanran, but still couldn't make up her mind.

"Let's do this. From now on, Yanran will go out of the palace during the day and come back at night. That's okay."

Li Zhi sighed and expressed his solution.

"Okay, then according to His Majesty's words, you must leave the palace during the day and come back at night. Do you agree?"

Wu Zetian grabbed Li Yanran's little face and said with a distressed look on her face.

"Okay, Yanran promises to go out early and come back late, so I won't worry my mother-in-law."

She was very satisfied with the benefits she could get now. After all, it was a great kindness not to stay in the palace.

After all, except for those unpopular princes, no princess has left the palace before leaving the palace. The prince is already a special case.

"Okay, our little Yanran must return to the palace on time, otherwise I will ask your father to whip your ass with a cane whip."

Wu Zetian hugged Li Yanran tightly. At this point, she had nothing to say.

"Rian, tell people to prepare a dinner. I will eat here today."

"As commanded."
