Chapter 11 I'm Not Afraid(1/2)
At this time, Yong Li had just entered Li Qing's house in the palace.
Although it was halfway through Hai, Li Qing did not rest. He dared not to sleep. Not to mention this strange place, even today's turmoil and uneasy made him unwilling to sleep.
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty is here!"
Li Qing sat up from the chair with a whimper, so panicked that he didn't know where to place his hands and feet.
Once he knew his identity, the time came to the emperor. Li Qing had long lost his resistance to the exiled immortal, but he was young and innocent. His face was so red that his heart was beating, as if the wedding night of a wedding wedding that married his sweetheart.
The pearl curtain was lifted, and Emperor Yuan Yao, wearing plain clothes, walked in.
He still looked like in the evening, with half a bunch of ink hair, handsome and elegant. He waved a brocade folding fan in his hand, all of which were romantic and unrestrained, and there was no such majesty as an emperor.
Li Qing hurriedly bowed, and the gift was performed.
Yongli raised his arm with a folding fan: "If you kneel down again and again, I will not dare to come to see you."
Such gentle voices made the boy's ears red: "The grass people dare not."
Yong Li smiled and said, "Get up."
Li Qing stood up, but he didn't dare to look at Yong Li at all.
Yong Li didn't think too much at all. It's not that Emperor Yuan Yao was too arrogant, but that he saw many people who were afraid of him.
Although Li Qing is the son of an official, he is not an old fox in the court after all. Such restraint and shyness are the norm. If everyone sees Emperor Yuan Yao, he will be like Shen Junzhao, then Emperor Yongli will be in vain!
Yong Li sat on the soft couch in the main hall and pointed to the low stool next to him: "Sit down and talk."
Li Qing was panicked again.
Yong Li raised his eyebrows: "I will be annoyed when you are like this."
This was so good. Li Qing sat down immediately, as obedient as a child, with his hands on his knees, giving birth to a little cuteness.
Yong Li was already jealous of his talent, and now he liked him more when he saw him like this - he was so much better than his father who was rotten in the oil pan!
Since Li Qing was sent in by Li Yihai to ask His Majesty for teaching, Yong Li naturally had to ask the previous question, not all of it was just a gesture, he was also determined to try Li Qing.
Yong Li casually mentioned the first article of "The Great Learning": "The way of university is to show the bright virtue, to be close to the people, and to stop at the highest good. How can I explain the word "close to the people"?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing felt a stern heart and replied respectfully: "Friendship with the new, be close to the people and be new, and be sincere to the people, and make the new people clear in order to learn and improve virtue, and to recommend oneself to others, and to cultivate unity and govern peace."
This answer is a fair and concise commentary, which is a popular commentary on the current trend, and re-cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world.
But Yong Li changed his tone and asked with a smile: "Why can you not just be a kiss?"
Li Qing was stunned.
Yongli said: "Great and wise, wise and timid, and timid, and timid, and timid, and wise, and wise, the people's will, and the best will come."
Li Qingxin was shocked and looked up at Yong Li. Although he was disrespectful in his posture, his eyes were full of respect.
The young man, who was still very restrained, let go of the mess in his heart because of this casual school entrance exam, talked freely, and expressed his feelings directly.
In fact, the question raised by Yong Li is very shallow. All enlightened children can talk about one, two, three, and four.
The adults' learning and the way of learning should be erudite, to polish their own virtues, to promote the new people, and to practice them widely, and finally the entire country will reach the most perfect state.
This is annotation of the previous dynasty and it is also the way for the ministers to cultivate their self-cultivation.
But what Yongli gave was not the new people, but the close people.
The focus of his words is on the virtues of the emperor, which is to be close to the people - to win the hearts of the people, tell the people's wishes, and suffer the sufferings of the people, so that they can be great good.
If the monarch is like this, what should the ministers do?
Yongli's word alone allows the young man in front of him to regain his ambitions and be ambitious.
Seeing Li Qing's eyes shining, his words were organized and his thinking was very lively and vigorous, Yong Li admired it more and more.
He likes to talk about the past and the present with young students. These young young seedlings are the future of Dayong, the pillars of the country, and the talents who can benefit future generations.
What kind of aristocratic ritual system, what kind of regime is stable, how can this young man be passionate and heroic!
Looking at Li Qing who expressed his feelings so directly, Yongli couldn't help but think of Shen Junzhao before breaking with him.
Shen Junzhao was very careful and thoughtful. Not to mention the age of seventeen, even when he was on the eleventh day of the year, he was cautious in his words and actions and never out of etiquette.
Others say that Shen Ziyu is talented and well-educated, and is a noble son of a noble family of unparalleled families.
Only Yongli saw through him early on. His Chen Zhaojun had the deepest rebellion under the rules, the coldest alienation under the politeness, and the pride and disdain under the restraint.
They read "The Great Learning" carefully together and debated for a long time because of this first sentence.
Their teacher Qian Fangyun followed the annotations of the previous dynasty, saying that it was new, but Yongli insisted on saying that it was relative.
Qian Gongyun glanced at Shen Junzhao, and Shen Junzhao lowered his eyebrows and said with pleasure: "New people, to be virtuous and to be new people, to cultivate oneself and to govern the country and to pacify the world. There is a way to end, which is the right way."
Yongli was so angry: "How can one get virtuous and not close to the people? How can one know the hearts of the people just because they are new people? If they don't know the hearts of the people, wouldn't it just to push new things to the people just to suppress the law and etiquette?"
Qian Gongyun smiled and said, "The position of emperor is already high and cold."
Yongli: "I am not right!"
Qian Gongyun looked at Shen Junzhao again, and Shen Junzhao could easily refute Yongli to the point of being speechless.
After class, Yong Li became crazy and ignored Shen Junzhao.
Shen Junzhao was still like that, and Zhou Dao accompanied him politely.
During lunch, Yong Li threw his chopsticks: "You are the old man Qian's vocal worm!"
Shen Junzhao: "Mr. Qian is the emperor's teacher, and Your Majesty must respect him."
Ten-year-old Yong Li blushed: "Shen Junzhao, you hate it so much!" After throwing this, the little emperor ran away, and he would never be angry with Shen Junzhao again.
However, that night, Yongli calmed down.
Shen Junzhao didn't know how he touched the palace and called him warmly: "Your Majesty."
Yong Li was dumbfounded: "Isn't the palace gate locked? Why are you..."
Shen Junzhao shook his hand: "Are you afraid?"
Yong Li immediately raised his head: "I am the supreme emperor in the world, what's there to be afraid of?"
Shen Junzhao smiled and said, "Then you are here."
This was the first time Yongli had left the palace since he ascended the throne. He followed Shen Junzhao's sneaky look like a eunuch and slipped out of a small corner gate.
After leaving the palace, Yongli felt that his breath had changed around him, which was extremely clear and cheerful, and he couldn't even press his raised mouth.
The angry little emperor was now full of joy and felt that Shen Junzhao was so good that he was the best Shen Ziyu in the world.
"It's so late, what are we going to do?" Yongli asked Shen Junzhao.
Shen Junzhao: "Friendship with the people."
Yong Li was surprised: "It's already the third day, aren't the people sleeping?"
Shen Junzhao: "What's wrong with sleeping?"
Shen Junzhao took Yongli to Xicheng District.
The capital of the capital is divided into east and west. To the east is the forbidden city, which is not only the palace and royal palace, but also the place where high-ranking officials and nobles are located; the west city is the home of ordinary people.
At that time, wars had just stopped and people's livelihood had just begun. Even the people in the capital were living a close life.
In the years of war, heroes emerged in many ways, and the most innocent, helpless and helpless civilians under great achievements.
Food is the most important thing for people. In the years of war, how can we talk about agricultural production?
Now that Dayong has been pacified for three years, the people still have not recovered.
So what if you get late?
This dilapidated thatched hut, this coarse cloth clothes that were cut and cut, is a cold kang that is cold but cannot even burn the fire to keep warm.
Looking at the empty rice jar, the overly clean stove, the young child who slept but cried because of hunger, the woman who was helpless, turned over and sighed but couldn't do anything about the head of the family...
Walking under the night, the West City is full of desolation and bleakness.
Even if the capital is like this, what kind of people should be living outside in poverty and starvation are everywhere.
Yongli was not the ignorant prince. He suffered when he was at home in his early years, so he felt even deeper when he saw these feelings.
Shen Junzhao held his cold hand and whispered: "Will your Majesty be willing to be close to the people when he sees this?"
Being close to the people, seeing the people, and knowing the people is much more difficult than sitting in a high position in the Jinting Court.
When the cold laws are implemented, the numbers that are thriving are presented, which is the increasing prosperity of the entire Dayong.
Knowing the people is different.
Seeing the heart-killing, there is always darkness under the light, and there is still starvation under the holy king.
Care about people's livelihood is much heavier than obsessing with the world.
Yong Li held Shen Junzhao with his back hand, and his childish voice was extremely firm: "I'm not afraid."
Shen Junzhao was stunned for a moment, then the corner of his mouth bent, bringing out a light smile.
Under the hazy moonlight, the boys standing side by side are together.
