Li Shimin went to the court from His Royal Highness Liangyi and returned to Taiji Hall to change his clothes. He was about to go to Lizheng Hall to find the queen to have dinner with him. The location of Chongwen Hall was just around the corner between Taiji Hall and Lizheng Hall. He heard Li Mu and Kong Yingda quarrel, so he stopped and wanted to hear what they said.

Basically, I finished listening from beginning to end. He would come out because he found out that Li Mu saw him, and this kid deliberately raised money to choke Kong Yingda, which made Kong Yingda so much that he had no words. If he didn't come out again, I'm afraid that Kong Yingda would faint again today.

If the bluestone floor was "fallen on the back", Kong Yingda would really not know if he could survive. Therefore, Li Shimin came out to give Kong Yingda a step.

Kong Yingda knew it well, looked ashamed, and bowed and said, "Old minister..."

"Don't say too much. Li Mu is a kid who is eloquent and eloquent, it is normal for you to say that he is not allowed to say that you are. I understand your feelings, but I don't need to explain. After hearing a few words, I think it's okay to say that the prince calls Li Mu. I do indeed treat Li Mu as my nephew, and he has indeed been a clan member. It is also appropriate for the prince to call him "Big Brother."

When Li Mu heard this, he raised an eyebrow at Kong Yingda. Kong Yingda turned his head aside, snorted, and ignored him.

"Li Mu!"

"I'm here."

Li Shimin was about to get angry, but suddenly thought of Li Mu's illness, and his heart softened again. He sighed and said, "I was worried about your condition at first, and I was about to see you in the afternoon. Now I still feel like fighting with Kong Aiqing, so you can be happy."

Li Mu raised his head, with a smile on his face as if he saw through the world, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I am not open-minded, I am helpless! Doctor Sun said that I can't cure it, what else can I do? Now I have to treat this as if I have nothing. If I can live a good day, I will live a good day. I still have to do what I should do, and I will fight the words I should fight. Otherwise, if I am decadent at home, wouldn't I become a useless person? I don't want the people who care about me to worry about me, so I force myself to be optimistic."

Kong Yingda and Li Chengqian were confused when they heard this. Li Chengqian bowed and asked, "Father, what disease is it? Who is sick? Brother is very well, he has not seen how sick he is."

Li Shimin naturally had no need to hide his son, and he also wanted Li Chengqian to learn Li Mu's calmness, so he explained. The three of them heard that Li Mu actually had a brain disease, and Sun Simiao was helpless. They were very likely to be crazy and stupid after the age of 40.

Kong Yingda apologized: "Marquis Zhulu, I don't know that you are sick, so I offended you..."

Li Mu interrupted Kong Yingda, waved his hand and said, "What is Kong Jijiu doing? Do I still need your pity? A mere brain disease cannot affect my performance. Even after I am forty, I am really stupid. You may not be my opponent. Let me come over, where did you say just now?"

Kong Yingda was so angry that his nostrils smoked, and he couldn't help it anymore, and said angrily: "Li Mu, you are so bullying. When I see you are sick, I care about you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but it's still like this... It's really unreasonable!"

Li Mu retorted and said, "Kong Jijiu, what's the use of caring for me? Even Doctor Sun's disease is helpless. You can't help me. You can't afford the medicine I take. You can't help at all. Your concern is useless. Besides, you grit your teeth at me. Li Mu has not yet fallen to the point of mercy of your opponent. What we distinguish has nothing to do with whether I have any illness or not. Don't care about him, I haven't finished talking yet. Kong Jijiu, your education method has a big problem. You teach the prince like this. It is a serious dereliction of duty. If you don't correct it, I am afraid that the prince will be educated astray by you! I am Li Mu, I have been deeply grateful to the emperor. Since I have seen it, I have to say it out! Just right, Your Majesty is here, in front of Your Majesty, I will speak out in a blunt manner, so as not to lose the reputation of a gentleman in front of you and a villain behind you!"

Kong Yingda was so angry that his body shook, saying, "Li Mu! Don't slander people! I have been teaching and educating people for decades, how old are you? It would be fine if you say anything else, but you have to blame them, you are bullying too much!"

Li Shimin couldn't hear it anymore and said, "Li Mu, your mouth is too bad. Confucius Jijiu is the descendant of Confucius. If his educational methods are all problems, who can still take on the important task of educating the prince? Could it be you?"

Li Musu said, "Your Majesty, I am not accusing Confucius of wine for no reason. I have observed and learned that I would like to listen to my analysis, think carefully, and then comment on the right or wrong."

Li Shimin glanced at Kong Yingda, nodded, and said, "Okay, seeing you like this, I can't finish it for a while. It just so happens that I have something to ask you, a high-ranking official, go and pass on the meal. Today's lunch, let's have lunch at Chongwenguan, Kong Aiqing, Li Mu, Cheng Qian Qingque, let's go together."

"Thank you your Majesty for your kindness." / "Thank you for your kindness."

When Eunuch Gao went to teach the meal, the group entered Chongwen Pavilion, formed a square table with two tables, and took a few cushions to sit. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "This posture makes me feel like a literati gathering. Li Mu, tell me, what did you see? What is wrong with Kong Aiqing's educational method?"

"Then I will say it." Li Mu said, "Jing Jijiu just now criticized the prince for calling me the eldest brother. The prince argued, and Confucius said something, and the prince did not dare to speak anymore. From the prince's expression and the tone of talking to Confucius Jijiu, I felt the following two points."

"First, Kong Jijiu is very confident. He thinks that his reason must be correct and the prince must accept it. If the prince does not accept it, it is the prince's fault."

"Secondly, the prince does not want to accept it, because the prince has the idea of ​​the prince. He thinks that the right thing is, and he wants to persist. But why compromise? Because Confucius Jijiu is the prince's army appointed by His Majesty. Moreover, Confucius Jijiu is very unprofessional. If the prince does not listen to him, he will report to His Majesty and use His Majesty's hand to hit the prince in order to make the prince obedient."

After saying two points, Li Mu looked at Kong Yingda and asked, "Kong Jijiu, what I said is correct?"

Kong Yingda was extremely embarrassed, but he had the courage to take responsibility. He thought he had nothing wrong, so he stubbornly said, "It is true that this is true, but I don't think it is wrong. I teach the prince, and I strive for excellence. All the things taught by the prince are saints, and I don't dare to teach them at all. The prince is young, impetuous and resists, and it is normal for me to blame the prince. Is it wrong to use His Majesty to teach the prince?"

Li Shimin also nodded, Li Mu was not surprised. No matter ancient and modern times, parents usually stand on the side of teachers when it comes to education.

Li Mu shook his head and said, "This is wrong."

Li Mu said seriously: "Your Majesty, I not only refer to the prince, but everyone is the same. If he has his own point of view, it is very difficult to accept the opinions of others. It is like Confucius, and his prejudice against me also comes from what he learned and his prejudice. He believes that I am young, and I must be inferior to him in terms of knowledge. This idea is wrong. When he taught the prince, he could not distinguish it and believed that his knowledge was correct. Confucius said that if three people acted, there must be my teacher. It can be seen that a person's knowledge cannot be all correct, nor will it be different from age. Knowledge is knowledge, and truth is truth. If you understand people, you can be a teacher, rather than the elderly. "

"When Kong Jijiu taught the prince, he only told the prince that this was right and that was wrong, and not why it was right or wrong. The prince did not understand the meaning and did not understand the truth, so he naturally wondered and raised objections. Kong Jijiu did not care about these things, but only cared about complaining to His Majesty. The prince took advantage of His Majesty's majesty and did not dare to resist. This created hidden dangers. The prince was young, his mind was not yet mature, and his ideas had not been formed. But what if the prince grew up? After he grew up, would the prince feel resentful towards Confucius Jijiu and then resentful towards His Majesty? If the father and son of the Tian family had a rift, what would be the use of Professor Kong Jijiu's principles?"

Li Shimin's face became serious, and Kong Yingda argued: "What I teach the prince is all the saints. If the prince doesn't listen and still feels resentful in his heart, then it is the prince's unvirtuous..."

"Kong Guan Ji!" Li Mu increased his tone and interrupted him, saying, "Please be careful. Whether the prince is wise or not, the prince is the prince. Do you think the prince is not virtuous, so you have to change the prince? This is the truth passed down by Saint Kong?"

Kong Yingda quickly shut up, he dared not say anything more. The establishment of a legitimate and chief is one of the foundations of Confucianism. As a descendant of Confucius, he would never say anything like changing a prince.

Li Shimin said, "Li Mu, I understand what you said. But Kong Aiqing is already a great scholar in the world, and he is a descendant of Confucius. If he cannot be the teacher of the prince with his knowledge, what should the prince's academic performance do?"

"I think it's not a problem of knowledge, but a problem of education. Kong Jijiu won't be a teacher."

As soon as this statement was spoken, Li Shimin thought it was ridiculous and said, "So, will you be a teacher?"

"I dare not say that I can, but it must be a little better than Condor Jijiu."

Kong Yingda snorted and said, "I wish to hear and see!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Since Confucius is so studious, I will briefly talk about it. In fact, Confucius Sheng had already said the truth, but Confucius had not understood enough about the classics of the saints."
