The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"It's my duty to be an official and eat food." Li Fu smiled.

Empress Changsun looked at the three children.

"Come with me and tell me what happened today." Empress Changsun said.

The three children followed Empress Changsun in silence.

"Well, sister-in-law." Li Fu stretched out his hand to keep Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun stood still, turned around and looked at Li Fu, with some doubt in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I have already told the children that today's matter has come to an end and is over. I hope sister-in-law will not blame the children too much." Li Fu said: "The children also know they are wrong."

Li Shimin shook his head helplessly.

"You are like this, and you still worry about them. Don't worry, even if they are punished, it will not be more severe than you." Li Shimin said.

"That won't work. A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Since I promised the children that this matter is over, I must do what I said. If my second brother and sister-in-law are angry and want to punish me, then I will take all the responsibility." Li Fu said seriously.

If I can't keep my word this time, how can I set an example for the children and teach them in the future?

Will the children still believe what he said?

"Okay, you don't have to take all the responsibility. According to what you said, I, as the father, and the queen, as the mother, are both to blame. This matter is just as you said, it's over. No one's fault will be pursued. It's over. As for the queen and the children, she just wants to ask what happened. Don't worry about it." Li Shimin explained.

"That's fine." Li Fu was relieved.

Li Shimin secretly felt a little jealous.

Does Li Fu, as an uncle, care more about the children than himself, as a father?

But reflect on whether I have really neglected the East Palace because I have been busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty recently.

It seems that I haven't brought Cheng Qian with me for a long time.

In the first half of this year, I often brought Cheng Qian with me to teach him how to handle political affairs. Even if the political affairs were complicated and Cheng Qian asked many questions, I could patiently answer him.

But in the second half of the year, especially after the official assessment began, I seemed to have lost this patience, and my mind and eyes were full of calculations on how to get rid of these redundant people in the court.

In fact, this matter was more than enough for Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. After delegating power, I don't need to worry about it at all.

I still ignored the child.

I told him not to disturb me in Liangyi Hall.

This one didn't keep an eye on it, and such a thing happened.

I am indeed responsible.

Li Shimin sat beside the bed, thinking and reflecting on himself.

Empress Changsun took the three children to another side hall.

Li Shimin came back to his senses and looked at Li Fu lying on the bed.

"You don't have to be beaten." Li Shimin said again.

Li Fu smiled and shook his head.

"No, in my opinion, this beating is pretty good."

You've been beaten with 20 sticks, and you don't want to say something nice now? Isn't it in vain?

"If I didn't get 20 strokes of the cane, what would Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun think?" Li Fu said, "Although I'm not as smart as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, I'm not stupid enough to offend people.

As officials of the Eastern Palace and teachers of the prince, Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun are naturally responsible for Cheng Qian's affairs. If they don't punish them, it won't be enough to warn them, but if they punish them too much, it won't be appropriate. After all, the Eastern Palace is hiding it from everyone. This is the prince's order, and the people below dare not disobey."

"With the inside and outside of the palace hiding it, Yu Zhining has no way of knowing. The reason why I punished Yu Zhining is because I saw something wrong in Cheng Qian's homework. Compared with the previous seriousness, the children's homework is perfunctory, and the words between the lines are all visible to the naked eye, including their daily performance. It's not difficult to find clues if you pay a little attention."

Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun have only been the prince's teachers for a year. Where do they get the experience to be the prince's teachers?

They are all in the exploratory stage.

Although Li Chengqian is their student, they dare not treat him like an ordinary student.

After all, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty and has a noble status.

If Li Chengqian makes a mistake, Yu Zhining cannot punish Li Chengqian, but can only punish Li Chengqian's companion.

"After this incident, I believe Yu Zhining and others will know better how to teach the prince and how to get along with him. As the prince's teacher, you must be bold, but don'tToo bold, one of the measures in this depends on him to master the balance. "Li Fu sighed.

In history, it is unknown how Yu Zhining taught Li Chengqian when Li Chengqian was still a child, but in the later period, it was too much.

Perhaps after repeated attempts in the early period, he found that this thing has no boundaries. If he can't handle something, he will complain to the emperor. Anyway, the emperor will definitely stand on the side of the teacher to reprimand the prince.

Such teaching is too much.

Now that he has been beaten with a stick, Li Fu wants to set an example for all Li Chengqian's teachers, including future teachers.

The benchmark is here. In the future, teach the prince well. Teaching, you can correct mistakes, even complain, but don't go too far to establish a reputation for yourself.

Even today's incident, it is not enough to set a benchmark for teachers, it is also a warning to Li Shimin.

Don't be too radical about children's education, don't think it's your son's fault no matter what others say, and your son's teacher is not wrong at all.

"Second brother, although Cheng Qian is the prince, he is still young and a child. You should be strict with children, but don't ask too much. Cheng Qian is looking forward to meeting the second brother's expectations of him. For him at such a young age, it is a heavy burden." Li Fu said: "There is still a long time to come, and you are still young, you can take it slowly."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Recently, I have also neglected the teaching of Cheng Qian. "Li Shimin sighed: "You also know that the court is busy dismissing officials. Although the dismissal has been completed, there are still many things to deal with later. These dismissed officials have intricate relationships behind them. It is not enough to just dismiss them. Dismissing people and dealing with their connections is a troublesome matter. For this reason, I have been troubled for a long time. "

"Is Pei Ji still so troublesome after being exiled?" Li Fu asked doubtfully.
