Chapter 1926: Just a Little Prince
"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon hearing Li Shen's order, Xue Rengui immediately obeyed.
He also understood the difficulties faced by Prince Ji. In Chang'an City, Prince Ji had to be careful with every step he took and be cautious in everything he did.
If not for this, the Prince Ji’s Mansion would not have grown to its current size.
Growing in the cracks, fighting against all the malice from the outside world, and constantly strengthening himself, this is Prince Ji, the Prince Ji that Xue Rengui admires so much.
No one could imagine how a ten-year-old child has grown step by step to where he is today.
"Okay, keep eating. I'm really hungry."
After finishing the discussion, Li Shen pointed at the dishes on the table, then started eating.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Xue Rengui stood up and left with the floor plan of Prince Ji's mansion.
Li Shen walked to the desk, picked up a pen, thought about it, and began to write.
He wants to write down what he is going to do so that he won't forget it.
Borrowing soldiers, medical books, and holding meetings for the playboys.
"Your Highness, please also find a tutor for Yangyang and Xixi to start their education." Chunxiang reminded from behind.
"Oh, I forgot about this matter. Someone, go and call Wang Xuance over."
After hearing this, Li Shen hurriedly shouted to the outside that he had to ask Wang Xuance about this matter, as Li Shen didn't know much about it.
The few great scholars he knew all held important positions in the court and it was impossible for them to teach his daughter.
He once said that he wanted to open the door for his child himself, but all his wives and concubines opposed it.
He felt that he should be able to do the job with his talents.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. What is the matter that Your Majesty summoned me here for?" After a while, Wang Xuance came to the study.
“Haha, come on, it’s no big deal.
Xixi and Yangyang are already five years old. It is time for them to start learning. I want to find a teacher for them.
But I am not familiar with the outside world, so I asked you to come and ask if there is any suitable candidate?"
Li Shen said with a smile.
"So that's how it is." Wang Xuance suddenly realized and began to ponder.
After a long while, Wang Xuance finally raised his head.
"Your Majesty, I do have a candidate."
"Oh? Tell us who it is quickly?" Li Shen asked quickly with a look of delight on his face.
"Your Majesty, have you heard of Wang Yuangan?" Wang Xuance said a name.
Li Shen looked confused and shook his head:
"I've never heard of him. Could he be your relative?" Li Shen guessed that they both had the same surname, Wang.
Wang Xuance shook his head and said:
“Your Majesty, Wang Yuangan and I are just friends, not relatives.
Wang Yuangan was from Juancheng, Puzhou. In his early years, he passed the imperial examination and went to Beijing to teach, and he had been working in the Hongwenguan.
This person is well versed in the classics and has read extensively, so he is the most suitable person to teach the young man and the young lady, and he can even serve as a teacher."
Li Shen could hear that Wang Xuance admired Wang Yuangan very much, but if he was really so talented, why didn't he get an official position?
However, Li Shen did not ask this question. Since Wang Xuance agreed, it should not be a problem to educate two five-year-old children.
"Well, then, this king... king..."
"Wang Yuangan."
"Yes, it's Wang Yuangan. I have to go to the palace tomorrow and take care of this matter.
As for letting him be a teacher, I still want Yangyang to enter the Imperial Academy so that he can have more contact with people of his age.
We can’t be like the flowers in the greenhouse, immune to wind and rain.”
Sometimes Li Shen also felt that the children of aristocratic families were very pitiful because they had no peers to play with since childhood.
Apart from their brothers and sisters, they rarely make friends with outsiders.
Only when you reach the appropriate age and enter the Imperial College can you see other people.
The Imperial College was equivalent to an aristocratic academy, and it was very difficult for children from ordinary families to enter.
Wang Xuance didn't say anything. This was Prince Ji's family affair. He only needed to give some advice when Prince Ji asked questions.
Li Shen had made up his mind and was no longer hesitant. Wang Xuance stood up and took his leave.
On the second day, Li Shen slept until he woke up naturally, then took a bath, changed clothes, and after eating the food between breakfast and lunch, he got on a carriage to the palace.
The court meeting has ended at this time, and Li Chengqian should be working in Liangyi Hall.
Li Shen passed the palace gate and went directly to Liangyi Hall.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Ji is requesting an audience outside the palace."
Li Chengqian is reviewing memorials.
He also wanted to take a look at and study some of the small things that had been reviewed by the three provinces.
He knew that he was not far from ascending the throne, and if he wanted to be an emperor like his father, he had to seize the time to study.
Now that his father is still alive, even if he does something wrong, his father will take care of it, so he doesn't need to worry about any terrible consequences.
"The tenth brother is here? Let him in quickly."
Hearing that Li Shen was coming, Li Chengqian raised his head and gave an order.
Li Shen was brought in and bowed first:
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness enjoy eternal blessings, a lifespan as long as the heavens, and may he be both virtuous in both civil and military matters, and unify the world..."
"Tenth brother, have you gotten into trouble again? I am just a little prince now, I am afraid I can't bear the responsibility.
Why don't you go to Cuiwei Palace?"
Li Chengqian, who originally wanted to greet Li Shen with a smile, disappeared from his face after hearing Li Shen's long string of flattering words.
He was very familiar with this scene. It had happened to him several times. The most recent one was when Li Shen asked him for instructions.
Want to let the Hu army enter the pass.
Li Shen had the same expression at that time.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Is this how I am in your heart? Can't you come and see me if you have nothing to do?"
When Li Shen heard what Li Chengqian said, his face immediately turned unhappy. Why did he think so badly of himself?
Li Chengqian really wanted to nod and say yes, but he held back.
"Haha, that's not true. Tenth brother can come to see me if he has nothing to do. But why do I feel like I've heard those words you just said somewhere before?"
Li Chengqian laughed and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
I guess all the civil and military officials in the court have heard these words of Li Shen.
Every time he came to pay a visit to Li Shimin, Li Shen always said these words.
Li Chengqian was mocking Li Shen for not bothering to change his flattering words, which were all the same.
"Brother, this is what I really think. Who else but you can be both civil and military virtuous and unify the world?
In the future, Big Brother will surely surpass his predecessors and reach heights that no one before him could reach. He will go down in history and become the greatest emperor of all time."
Li Shen's face was full of sincerity and his eyes were full of respect. Only Li Chengqian remained unmoved, as he was deeply suspicious of the character of his younger brother.
I guess he has said these words to his father many times, otherwise how could he say them so fluently.
"Okay, tell me, have you gotten into trouble, or do you need me for something?
Let me make it clear first, I am really just a little prince, I can’t do big things.”
