Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chen Xiao tapped Chen Xinheng's head lightly, and scolded with a smile: "You are the younger brother?"

Chen Xinheng didn't care much, instead he laughed and said, "How, am I right? How did His Royal Highness King Chu behave this time?"

Chen Xiao nodded slowly and said, "It's pretty good."

"Haha. I think so. After all, I have defeated you." Chen Xinheng laughed.

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Even if I win in the end, His Royal Highness King Chu should have surpassed me in training."

"Brother admires him so much now?" Chen Xinheng was a little surprised.

Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Yes. You didn't see it with your own eyes, so you don't understand. If you are like me, you can see with your own eyes what kind of soldiers His Royal Highness Chu brought out, you should be able to understand what I'm saying what."

Chen Xinheng asked curiously and amusedly: "According to what you said. If our army in Tang Dynasty suddenly became like that trained by His Royal Highness King Chu, you think it will be."

"Invincible, invincible." Chen Xiao said without hesitation.

Chen Xinheng laughed loudly and said, "As expected of our brother-in-law."

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly, and finally couldn't help but said, "I've always wanted to ask you a question."

"Although I probably guessed what you want to ask. But you'd better just say it." Chen Xinheng restrained his smile a little.

Chen Xiao asked: "Why on earth are you so optimistic about His Highness the King of Chu? Is it really just because our sister likes this reason?"

Chen Xinheng smiled lightly, and said: "How to put it, this is of course a reason. If our sister doesn't like that guy, I can't force them to get married. However, I still appreciate King Chu very much."

"Why?" Chen Xiao was puzzled, "You said that King Chu has something you've been looking for, what is it?"

Chen Xinheng couldn't help laughing, and thought for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. Afterwards, he sighed and asked, "Do you know why I have been refusing to become an official?"

"Isn't it because you're lazy?" Chen Xiao said half-jokingly.

"Of course there are reasons like this." Chen Xinheng smiled bitterly, "However, the more important reason is that I don't like Confucius and Mencius. Once I become an official in the court, I will definitely be out of tune with others. Maybe some troubles will arise then. It's fine for me, but it will be troublesome if my father is involved."

"I've never heard you say that before." Chen Xiao said strangely, "Obviously when I was a child, my father often praised you for your good writing. You must be a famous writer in the future. Who knows that you don't like Confucius and Mencius in your heart." .”

"That's because I'm smart." Chen Xinheng shrugged.

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Smelly."

After the two laughed for a while, Chen Xiao continued to ask: "However, why don't you like Confucius and Mencius? Benevolence and filial piety are indeed the foundation of the world."

Chen Xinheng sighed, and said: "Of course Confucius and Mencius are good, and they are right. But I doubt that with just a few words, is it really so good and so correct?"

Chen Xiao didn't understand what Chen Xinheng meant for a while, but just sat quietly on the chair, staring at Chen Xinheng's face. Since childhood, he has been a very reliable big brother. Everything can be done without mistakes, and he will also bear the responsibility if the younger brothers and sisters poke the basket. He is always so willing to listen to what Chen Xinheng and Chen Youlan are saying, and has always been like this.

Chen Xinheng knew that his thoughts were indeed a little confusing, so he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Confucius said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. These words are of course correct, and the principles of saints are good. However, they Is it really worth everyone in the world to bury their heads in the pile of old papers, and continue to explain and explain continuously?"

Chen Xiao didn't speak, but nodded slowly to show that he heard.

"Maybe these things need to be studied, but I always feel that it should not be the whole of reading." Chen Xinheng sighed, "Benevolence and filial piety are good things, and most people only need to know it. Confucius himself said that if you don't read You can also pursue benevolence, and the principle of benevolence is in people's hearts. Then, why bother to study these two little words?"

Chen Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, as if he gradually began to understand what Chen Xinheng was struggling with.

"All in all, I want to find something other than Confucius and Mencius. I don't believe that other than the words of these two sages, other words in the world are nonsense. Scholars must have other ways to go." Chen Xinheng's eyes revealed Yingying's light, "I want to find this way."

"You want to become a saint yourself." Chen Xiao said.

"I didn't think so far." Chen Xinheng shook his head and said, "First of all, we must find this way."

Chen Xiao roughly understood Chen Xinheng's thoughts, and said, "Do you think His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows this way?"

Hearing this, Chen Xinheng first smiled, then shook his head heavily: "No. He's already on his way, and he's gone a long way."
