On the third day, the news that the prince was seriously ill and unconscious was completely heard, because His Majesty Li Er had not handled the government affairs for two days in order to take care of Li Chengqian... This was the first time since he ascended the throne! In the past, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, or even if he was sick or bedridden, he would insist on handling the government affairs, but this time he was "absent from work" for two days...

The Palace of Yue…

As the teacher of King Li Tai of Yue, Wang Gui came to the Yue Palace to teach Li Tai as usual on this day. Seeing Li Tai's serious study, not only did he not feel any relief or joy on his face, but he frowned deeply.

Because he saw at a glance that Li Tai was reading "Mencius", and it was also the content about the way to be a king. As an old minister, how could he not understand Li Tai's thoughts?

"Old minister pays homage to King Yue!"

"Sir, I'm here, student Li Tai has met Master Wang!"

"Well, the old minister just saw that Your Highness was reading "Mencius"?"

"Yes, the student accidentally opened the "Mencius" that he had not read for a long time in recent days and had some insights, so he took it and read it again."

"Reviewing the past and learning the new, King Yue is so eager to learn, as a teacher, elder and minister should have been pleased, but the old minister is not happy at all at this time."

"Oh? Why?"

"Does the King of Yue know about the prince's affairs?"

"I know, I'm just sick."

"Since your highness has reviewed Mencius, the old minister will take the exam for the teachings." Wang Gui did not directly reply to Li Tai's words, but talked about Mencius. "Mencius said: 'The gangsters of the Yuanquan do not leave day and night, and they are full of subjects and then advance, and release them all over the world. Those with the foundation are like this. If they have no foundation, the sacred rain will gather in July and August, and the ditch will be full; if they are dry, they can stand up and wait, so the Śrāvakas are so shamed by the gentleman's, how can they understand?"

"This sentence comes from "Mencius Li Louxia", which means that if learning is over-named, a true gentleman will consider it a shameful thing."

Wang Gui nodded slightly and continued, "Mencius said: 'The ritual of being unjust is not righteous, and the ritual of being unjust is not righteous, so what does it mean?"

"This sentence is also from "Mencius Lilouxia", which teaches the world that all etiquette must come from the true heart, and that it is not done by the gentleman."

"Since your highness understands these principles, why do you still ignore the matter of the prince? The prince is your brother, you are your brother, and your brother's feelings; the prince is your king, you are your minister, and your courtesy of the king and his minister... Has Your Highness ever done what he said in the book?"

"It's not that the students don't go to see the prince, but, but..." Li Tai didn't know how to defend himself. After thinking for a long time, he tried to defend himself, "The prince was taken care of by his father, and the mother went to the East Palace to take care of himself regardless of her physical worries. There were so many imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Department for diagnosis and treatment. What's the difference between me or not?" When he said this, Wang Gui obviously saw a strong look of jealousy and a little gloating on the other person's face!

Shaking his head slightly, Wang Gui stopped saying anything, and some things were not something he could do, so he said, "Since King Yue wants to revisit "Mencius", then the old minister will not disturb him, the old minister will say goodbye!"

"Hey, wait... why did you leave? There are a few more questions to ask!"

"The old minister still has some official duties urgently needing treatment. Let's go another day!" Wang Gui said perfunctorily, took a few steps and turned his head to look at Li Tai and said, "Your Highness, I have something I hope your noble can record it!"

"Master Wang, please tell me!"

"Those who love others will always love them; those who respect others will always respect them. The prince may not be as knowledgeable as His Highness, and his desire to learn is far from His Highness... But that's all! Mencius has the "Five Relations and Ten Teachings". I hope His Highness can understand the true meaning as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Wang Gui left without looking back, leaving Li Tai standing there alone, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He is not stupid, but is very smart. In addition, he is easy to learn, so he can easily understand what Wang Gui said. It is because he understands the meaning of it that he is a little confused!

But after reacting, he was furious and scolded loudly: "Why? Why? All of you think that Li Chengqian is better than me? How can he be better than me? Why can no one see my advantages! Bastards, they are all bastards!"

...

At this time, Li Ke was also arguing with others, and this person was no one else, but the chief of the Shu Palace.

"Your Highness, this opportunity is rare. You should give it to the court officials!"

"Stop it! I have said it many times and must not mention this matter in front of me again. Is it a breeze to say that I am?"

"Your Highness! You are in the royal blood of two dynasties. Who can match your status in terms of your abilities? In terms of your abilities, who among the princes can compare? In addition, there are many former former Sui ministers in the dynasty. As long as you have that intention, there will definitely be many people who will support you!"

"Come here, drive this person out of the royal palace, and you will not be allowed to step into the palace from now on! This king will report to the father and re-select the chief of the royal palace!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

The chief was taken out of the palace by someone. Li Ke couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he heard his shouting, looking at the sky and muttered to himself: "How can you know the talent of your elder brother? How can you know the importance of your elder brother in the heart of your father? If anyone does something wrong at this time, what's the difference between seeking death?"

After saying that, he shook his head and took several servants to the East Palace... He was going to visit his elder brother Li Chengqian, and by the way he also brought him a special gift, which is why he didn't visit Li Chengqian until this time.

...

In the harem, Li You, Li Yan and others all brought their own things, as if they had made an appointment, and almost at the same time went towards the East Palace.

Originally, Li You and Li Yan had wanted to go to the East Palace to see Li Chengqian. Although Li Chengqian often beat them, he had never really beaten them. At most, he just kicked them twice on the butt, which was nothing to people like them who had been beaten.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian often gives them a lot of fun and delicious food, which is even better for them than their mothers sometimes.

But when they heard that His Majesty Li Er was also in the East Palace, they were a little hesitant and dared not go. They were really afraid of their fathers. They would hide if they could, but now they would "delivery goods to their doorsteps"... It is impossible!

Unfortunately, the two were still forced to go by their mother's mother. Before leaving, they told them, "If you don't go to see the prince, you will be beaten by your father. If you go there, you will not only not be beaten, but you will also be rewarded." This dispelled the two's concerns and couldn't wait to go straight to the East Palace!
