Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

Hongwen Museum.

After Li Yi established his power in disguise in Hongwen Hall, all the Confucian scholars looked at Li Yi with more or less awe in their eyes.

A few corners.

Xu Jingzong was bragging to a group of Confucian scholars:"I won't hide anything from you."

"It's too late, but it's so fast!"

"Li Minggong directly grabbed Lu Dongzan's son and said to me with a ferocious face,"Come on!" Lao Xu, chop him on the neck!"

Hearing the excitement.

These Confucian scholars seemed a little excited:"Then what? Xu

Jingzong stroked his beard:"I didn't make a move. In the end, I chose to strangle Lu Dongzan's neck and let Li Minggong strike!""

"happy!"

"Cool!"

"How dare these Tibetan dogs dare to act so arrogantly? I am so restless in the Tang Dynasty. Do you really think that people from the Tang Dynasty are so easy to provoke?

Li Yi walked over with his hands behind his back:"Old Xu, go find an iron pot.""

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he stood up immediately and said very respectfully:"Okay! Go now!"

Not long after,

Xu Jingzong came over carrying an iron pot.

He asked curiously:"Ming Gong, why don't you go to the kitchen to eat? Li

Yi shook his head:"If you're not used to it, go get me some fish and I'll prepare them myself." Xu Jingzong said solemnly:"

Ming Gong is indeed strict with himself and does everything personally. I am ashamed and should learn from Ming Gong.""

Li Yi smiled.

He was probably almost indifferent to Lao Xu's licking skills.

Not long after,

Xu Jingzong brought two more fat fish over.

Li Yi casually dug a hole in the garden and started Set up the iron pot.

Xu Jingzong naturally washed the fish.

He watched Li Yi doing all this skillfully and said blankly:"Mr. Ming... this is the office of Hongwen Pavilion.

Li Yi frowned:"What's the problem?" Xu

Jingzong said seriously:"Of course there is no problem. I was just thinking, should I bring some firewood to Mr. Ming?"

Li Yidao:"Nonsense!" Go quickly."

Not long after, Xu Jingzong came over again with firewood.

Li Yi sent Xu Jingzong away.

Then he lit a fire, burned oil, and fried fish.

The fragrance soon overflowed.

Not long after, someone came over and stared at Li Yi curiously.

"Princess Changle?

Changle nodded:"Uncle Li Yi...brother.""

Gu Gu.

She swallowed her saliva and looked at the fish in Li Yi's pot with some greed.

Li Yi said curiously:"Why did you come to Hongwen Museum?

Changle said:"Recently, the Imperial College has transferred a batch of documents to the Hongwen Hall. I'm here to borrow some documents to read.""

Li Yi looked at the book in Changle's hand, and then he said"Oh" in understanding, and then asked:"Would you like to come over to eat fish?""

Chang Le wished for it.

She soon sat next to Li Yi and looked at the domestic fish eagerly.

The smell became more and more intense, and Chang Le's stomach growled more and more.

It was a bit embarrassing!

Chang Le lowered his head shyly, trying to change the subject. , glanced at the"Tao Te Ching" in his hand, and then took the initiative to say:"Governing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy. This sentence comes from Laozi's Tao Te Ching. There have been many schools of thought in ancient times, and they have different understandings of this sentence, but most of them agree. , what I mean is that running a country should be as careful as cooking. Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are essential, not even a little more, not a little less. Pay attention to both seasonings and heat.……"

Li Yi shook his head and said:"Take this boiled fish as an example. If you cook the fish, it will break into pieces. If you treat the people's troubles, they will fall apart. If you know how to cook the fish, you will know how to govern the people."

Chang Le was a little puzzled, then tasted it and said,"If you cook the fish, it will break." If the people are troubled, they will be scattered. If you know how to cook fish, you will know how to manage the people... Your opinion is indeed unique, and it makes sense if you think about it carefully, but it is just your guess and has not been accepted and recognized by everyone. , there may be some omissions."

Li Yi smiled:"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 delicacies in the era when I lived."

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.

Li Yi continued:"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, when cooking large fish, The same goes for fish. If you turn it over frequently, the flesh of the fish will fall apart. From this,"governing a big country is like cooking small fish" can be extended to mean that cooking small fish should not be disturbed, and governing a big country should not be troublesome. If people are disturbed, people will work hard, and if disturbed, the fish will collapse."

Changle heard Yan did not speak, but fell into thinking.

After a long time, her expression was a little tangled. Obviously, she still couldn't understand what Li Yi said, but after tasting it, she felt it made sense.

Soon, the fish was ready.

Changle was a little shy.

Li Yi smiled and said:"Eat, this is the imperial city, not the palace, there are not so many scruples.""

"good!"

At this moment, Changle no longer hesitated, rolled up his sleeves, and started eating without any image.

"So delicious!"

Soon, two small crucian carps were almost eaten by Changle.

Li Yi stared at her and looked at her faintly.

Changle covered his stomach, and then said with some embarrassment:"I'm sorry! I just forgot about you."

Li Yi smiled and said,"It's okay. Changle nodded to Li Yi and then returned to the palace.

Along the way, she met Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda looked at Changle and nodded:"Princess Changle, are you going to Hongwen Hall to borrow books?""

Chang Le nodded.

"I am going to give a feast to His Majesty. If you have nothing to do, you can also go and listen. I happen to be talking about Laozi’s Tao Te Ching today."

"OK"

Thousand-step Corridor.

Li Shimin has recently begun to invite the Imperial Confucian scholars to teach him.

Taking history as a mirror can tell the rise and fall.

Li Shimin has been practicing it.

When he saw Changle, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

Kong Yingda said quickly:"Your Majesty, I am watching Princess Changle along the way. I was studying the Tao Te Ching, and I happened to be talking about the Tao Te Ching at today's sutra banquet, so I asked Chang Le to come and listen.

Li Shimin understood:"That's it, let's get started.""

Kong Yingda nodded:"Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. This sentence means that running a country should be as careful as cooking. Oil, salt, soy and vinegar are indispensable, not even a little more, not even a little less. You must pay attention to both. Condiments, but also pay attention to the heat."

He emphasized that a monarch must govern the country carefully.

Changle was suddenly stunned, and then said:"Excuse me, Uncle Kong, I have a different explanation. Can you listen to it?

Kong Yingda said doubtfully:"Is there any other explanation for this sentence?" I'm interested, please tell me."
