Chapter 141 What I have learned, Your Majesty and Queen are shocked
Harem.
Li Chengqian arrived at the harem and met Queen Changsun.
"When the sons and ministers see their mother and queen, they all miss their mother and queen."
"Gan'er, you are finally back. I miss you very much after not seeing my mother for the past few days.
Come, come quickly, come quickly, mother, take a look at what Gan'er has become in the past few days."
After hearing what his mother said, Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward and stood beside Empress Changsun.
"I haven't seen my son in the past few days. He has turned a lot darker. He must have suffered in those days in Zhuangzi."
This mother is a sensitive person. When she sees her child's face getting tanned, she can't help but feel distressed.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother.
I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in that village every day, I just get a little tan."
"Tell me, Queen Mother, how did you come to Zhuangzi during this time?"
"It's the queen mother."
Li Chengqian began to talk non-stop, telling his mother and queen from beginning to end what had happened during this period.
After hearing what he said, Empress Changsun stepped forward, grabbed Li Chengqian's hand, and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, the palm was just like Qian'er said, with a few wounds.
Although these wounds were very minor, after a few days, they were already intact.
But the vague wound also told them about the work the prince had done before.
"Qian'er, is there anything else besides these?"
"There are many more queens, please tell me one by one!"
It was said that it was too late and that it was so fast. I only heard footsteps coming from outside the door!
"Mr. Guanyin, Gan'er, what are you two talking about? Are you so happy?"
Just as the prince left the Tai Chi Hall, Li Er finished reviewing the last two memorials and was about to go to the harem to rest for a while.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the mother and son talking and laughing.
What the prince said later, he told his mother what happened to Zhuangzi, including some interesting things, which made the queen laugh.
"Your Majesty, I was just listening to Gan'er talk about some interesting things that happened in Zhaojiazhuang.
Since Your Majesty is here, come and listen to these interesting stories Qian'er told you!"
"Hahaha, I just wanted to ask him this in Tai Chi Hall.
Now that we have arrived at the harem, Qian'er will start from the beginning and tell me about it too.
Let me see what you have learned in Zhaojiazhuang!"
"It's Father."
Li Chengqian started talking from the beginning again.
Ruling a big country is like cooking small delicacies, Li Er knew this.
It comes from the sentence in the Tao Te Ching written by Laozi.
Combining the relationship between cause and effect, Li Er knew that maybe Xiandi thought that he was going to study to be an official in the future, so he told him some principles of being an official in advance, but this truth was explained very thoroughly.
"What, Gan'er, you went to the kitchen to cook?"
Just like the shocked look of Empress Changsun just now, Li Er just stood aside.
What’s the point of a majestic prince, prince of the Tang Dynasty, and future emperor going to the kitchen to cook like those cooks?
"Ah, Gan'er, didn't you tell your Uncle Zhao that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen?"
"My father, the emperor, and my sons have said it, but Uncle Zhao said that what the ancients said may not be entirely correct.
Not necessarily everything the ancients said is incorrect.
We must learn from what the ancients said and listen to the correct ones.
Get rid of those wrong words and summarize what is suitable for our current development.
Only through labor can you experience the joy of labor, and only by experiencing all kinds of things can you understand all living beings!
Father, Queen and Mother, I can make scrambled eggs with you two tonight!"
"Hahahaha, your Uncle Zhao is right.
Only if you understand and feel the people down there and know the hardships they endure, can you empathize with them."
As an emperor, why would he issue these orders that are in line with the people?
That's because when he was the king of Qin, he led troops in battles. Every time he passed the city, he would personally pay homage to the virtuous officers and go to the people.
In this way, you can truly understand what the people really think and do.
But now he has become the emperor and Qian'er has become the prince.
The prince did not go to the people to experience the sufferings of the people.
If a person who has been able to understand the sufferings of the people since childhood became an emperor, he would definitely be able to understand the people more deeply.
"Yes, your Uncle Zhao taught you this matter very well. Is there anything else besides these?"
Then he showed what he had learned in the past few days to his father, the emperor and his mother in turn.
Including everything he did, Zhao Mu told him these principles.
These principles were never taught to them, the masters in the palace.
Li Er showed a smile and looked up at Queen Changsun.
"Guanyin Maid, regarding Qian'er this time, how do you feel about my wise brother's teaching to the prince?
If you feel that his teaching is good, let Qian'er go to Zhaojiazhuang to study for 5 days next month.
If you feel that this teaching is not acceptable, I won’t let Qian’er go!”
"Your Majesty, everything is decided by Your Majesty!"
"Qian'er, how do you feel about your Uncle Zhao teaching you this?"
"Father, I think I learned a lot of things in Zhaojiazhuang that I didn't learn in the palace.
These things may never be learned by me in the palace, but they can be used among the people.
So my father and son thought about continuing to study with my Uncle Zhao in Zhaojiazhuang.
I believe I will be able to learn more.”
"Hahahaha, then tell me again, are there any other things besides these?"
"Oh, by the way, Queen Mother, this is a gift I bought from my Uncle Zhao in Zhaojiazhuang with the money I earned in the past few days.
I thought this gift was very good, so I bought it to give to my mother!"
As he spoke, he took out the gift from his clothes. The gift was a mirror the size of an adult's hand.
That day, a group of them went to the attic filled with all kinds of treasures. In that building, they fell in love with the mirror at first sight.
The bronze mirror used by the queen mother to dress could not see people clearly, but the mirror in front of her showed her entire appearance clearly.
Seeing that he liked the mirror very much, Uncle Zhao sold the mirror to himself.
The expenses are the copper coins I earned in these few days!
Seeing the mirror handed over by the prince, Li Er and Queen Changsun took a look.
"Father, Uncle Zhao said this thing is called a mirror. It is made of colored glaze, but it is clearer than the person reflected in the bronze mirror."
Seeing the mirror made of colored glaze, Li Er closed the mirror and put it aside!
"Qian'er, do you know that the price of this glass is priceless, and you can't buy it with just a few copper coins."
"Father, I know this, and I also told Uncle Zhao.
But Uncle Zhao said that he wanted this price, and that I earned the money through my own hard work, and that I had a filial piety.
He is willing to sell it to me at this price, hoping that I can learn how to do it myself and have enough food and clothing!"
"Hahahaha, my wise brother is indeed a master.
Just by using these simple methods, you have grown so much!
Gan'er, continue to tell your father and mother, is there anything else besides these?"
