Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

Li Yi looked at Li Shimin in surprise

"Huang, are you hysterical? Why are you saying such nonsense? Li Shimin said with a tiger face:"

Didn't you say that the circles are different?""

"After all, I am the young minister of Dali Temple. If you recognize me as your father, you will be in the same circle as the Wei family."

Damn!

Li Yi rolled his eyes.

I just said it casually and tried to prevaricate.

Li Yi smiled and waved his hands:"Forget it.

Empress Changsun said nervously:"My child, do you think we are not worthy of you calling us parents?"

Li Yi quickly waved his hand and said,"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Who treats me well and who treats me badly in this world? My tricks are very bright."

"These days, you have the best things, but you have to give them to me even if you are reluctant to use them."

"This is completely treating me like half a son."

"How could it not be worthy?

Empress Changsun then smiled like a flower and asked softly:"Then why are you unwilling?" You kid is very alert. You've been helping Lao Huang a lot these days."

"Lao Huang is what he is today because of your secret help. Isn't it right to treat you well?"

Li Yidao:"You can't say that, one code is another code. I was about to starve to death at that time. If it weren't for Lao Huang, I wouldn't be able to survive. The life-saving grace should be repaid with a spring of water. This is the principle of my life, Li Yi!"

"only……"

Li Shimin suddenly became nervous and asked quickly:"Just what?"

Li Yi smiled and said:"It's just that you are too familiar with Lao Huang. You can't call me godfather. Otherwise, Lao Huang, let's take over? I recognize you as my brother, let’s have a New Year’s song?"

Li Shimin:"……"

Queen Changsun:"……" become sworn brothers? Dear sister!

I’ll make friends with you every year, and I’ll give it to you!

Thank you for being able to figure it out!

Li Yi scratched his head and said,"As for Aunt Sun, I can still call you Godmother, but I can't even call you, Old Huang."

Damn it!

Li Shimin's face darkened into a dark cloud.

On the other hand, Queen Changsun, with a smile on her pretty face, nodded hurriedly and said:"Okay, okay, good child, are you screaming?"

"Godmother?"

"good! Good boy!"

Li Shimin is almost stupid.

Call her godmother?

Make me a brother?

Damn! How can this make sense!

What has happened to this generation?

"Brother Huang, why are you standing there stunned? The fish is ready, come and eat!"

Li Yi was cooking fish in the pot.

He smiled and said to Li Shimin:"Since the two of us have bowed down today, I will also teach you how to govern the country as an official. Understanding this principle will be of great benefit to your future official career!"

Li Shimin was not very interested.

Brother Huang, this sound is so harsh!

He asked Li Yidao gently and with a smile on his face:"What do you want to teach me about how to govern a country as an official? What does this have to do with eating this pot of fish? Li

Yi smiled and said:"Many truths in the world are learned from life. For example, what truth do you understand about the fish I cooked?""

Li Shimin shook his head in bewilderment. Can you still gain philosophy from eating a fish?

Why do I not believe it so much?

Li Yi shook his head and said:"Old Huang, you see, this is where you are stupid, you don't understand it!"

Li Shimin:"……"

Stupid you uncle!

Am I stupid?

Are there any smart people in the world?

Li Yi asked Li Shimin:"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. How do you understand this sentence?"

Li Shimin smiled.

"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. This sentence comes from Laozi's"Tao Te Ching". There have been many schools in ancient times. They have different understandings of this sentence, but most of them agree. What Laozi means is that running a country should be as careful as cooking, with oil, salt and sauce. Vinegar is essential, either more or less. Pay attention to both the seasoning and the heat.……"

Li Yi shook his head in disappointment and said:"So, Old Huang, your understanding is too one-sided. Since then, over time, how can you govern the country if you are in a high position?"

"You can't just follow what others say, you have to have your own opinions and understandings."

Li Shimin gradually became interested.

Could this brat really be able to teach me some truth about cooking?

"Tell me, how do you understand it? Li Shimin asked casually.

Li Yi thought for a while and said:"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. If you want to understand this sentence of Lao Tzu, you must first understand how the ancients cooked small delicacies in the era when I lived." of."

This sentence of Lao Tzu has been the subject of controversy since ancient times. There are different opinions. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that some scholars gave an explanation that was accepted by most people after conducting textual research.

"Xiaoxian is a small fish. The ancients cooked small fish without removing the scales or intestines. After putting it in the pot, they were most afraid of stirring it frequently, for fear of breaking the small fish...

In fact, the same goes for cooking big fish. Turn it frequently. The fish will fall apart.

From this, governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies, which can be extended to: cooking small delicacies should not be disturbed, and governing a big country should not be troublesome. If there is annoyance, people will be overworked, and if there is disturbance, the fish will collapse."

Li Yi finished speaking.

Li Shimin did not speak.

Until after listening, the whole person suddenly fell into deep thought, and his face became a little weird.

Queen Changsun on the side also suddenly fell into deep thought.

These two sentences from Li Yi can be said to be a timely blessing!

Now It had only been four years since the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Li Shimin did everything by himself, and there were many things that required a lot of effort.

But he found that the more he worried about it, the more bored he became, and the more things went in a bad direction.

Li Shimin whispered:"Don't disturb the cooking of fresh food. , running a big country should not be troublesome. If there is annoyance, people will work hard, if there is annoyance, the fish will collapse, if there is annoyance, the fish will collapse, if there is annoyance, then... the country will collapse!"

Gradually.

Li Shimin's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were shining brightly.

"well said!"

"Your boy's novel explanation is an eye-opener for me! Very well said!"

After finishing the meal,

Li Shimin was still absent-minded.

He walked out of the Li Mansion with Queen Changsun.

Queen Changsun asked Li Shimin softly:"Erlang, Yi'er's words today...have a great impact on you? Li

Shimin nodded and thought for a moment:"I'm not as good as him.""

Said, Li Shimin was no longer bothered.

Instead, he looked at Queen Changsun angrily.

"You took advantage today. This call from Godmother is so intimate."

"Why do I have to be Brother Huang?"

Empress Changsun was suddenly stunned, then bent down and laughed:"So His Majesty the Tang Dynasty still cares about this, hahahaha.……"

Li Shimin, dressed in a foreign dress, glared at Empress Changsun fiercely. The emperor and the empress walked hand in hand toward the palace.

It’s hard to imagine that they are still holding hands when they are so old?

……

Tai Chi Palace. late at night.

Fang Xuanling found Li Shimin

"Your Majesty, the strategy for next spring has been decided.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said:"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies.""

Huh?

Fang Xuanling said confusedly:"The topic of policy discussion? But this question is well known! Li

Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, and said:"You can't just follow what others say. You have to have your own understanding and opinions. You talk about things that are well known, but I have different opinions.""

"What?"Fang Xuanling was confused.

This sentence in Laozi's"Tao Te Ching" has been poorly understood by scholars.

What different opinions are there now?
