Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Not long after Li Xin walked out of the big office, he heard someone calling him His Highness the King of Chu from behind. Looking back, it turned out to be Xiao Yu.

"Hello, Master Xiao." Li Xin stopped in his tracks and replied politely.

Xiao Yu smiled and waved his hands, and said: "I just listened to His Highness King Chu's explanation, it was like enlightenment, and it really benefited me a lot."

Li Xin was a little surprised. He didn't notice that Xiao Yu was also among the audience just now. He smiled and said modestly: "Lord Xiao is serious. It's just that the kid likes to speculate. In fact, whether these conclusions are correct or not still needs to be proved by practice."

The color of approval on Xiao Yu's face became stronger: "That's right. Now there are not many young people who are seeking truth from facts like His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Li Xin said with a wry smile: "Xiao Laomo wants to kill this junior."

Xiao Yu shook his head, half-jokingly said: "Don't be too modest, you must know that 'too much is too late'."

Li Xin just laughed and said nothing.

"That's right." Xiao Yu said, "After listening to what His Highness said just now, the old man suddenly had an idea."

"Mr. Xiao, please tell me." Li Xin replied.

"I don't know if His Highness is interested in compiling what you said into a book for the officials of the household department to learn?" Xiao Yu looked at Li Xin with burning eyes, as if she hoped that Li Xin would agree.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, how can this junior have the qualifications!"

Xiao Yu laughed, and said: "It seems that His Highness the King of Chu just thinks that he is not qualified, not that he can't write such a book!"

Li Xin was just talking casually, and subconsciously rejected Xiao Yu's proposal, who would have thought that he would be caught by the loophole in his words, for a while, he didn't know how to defend himself, and could only laugh at it.

Xiao Yu continued: "I understand His Royal Highness Chu's concerns. But His Royal Highness Chu can rest assured that this book will be 10% and will be promoted by the old man. Even if these idiots have some gossip, the old man will bear it all."

Li's confidence moved. He didn't expect Xiao Yu to be willing to do this. To be honest, he also thought about writing a book, but in the end he still didn't start writing.

The things he talked about are new and unprecedented knowledge, and they do not fit with the existing Confucianism. It's okay to just give lectures and dictate in the household department. Once it is compiled into a book, there will be unavoidable attacks by those with good intentions for various reasons. Coupled with his young age and poor reputation, writing books in his capacity and promoting the words of the household department, I really don't know how many obstacles and what kind of backlash he will encounter.

In terms of Li Xin's own strength, in the face of such slander and slander, the final outcome will not be too good, maybe even the household department can't stay anymore. As a result, even His Majesty Li Er, who specially set up the post of household consultant for him, would also lose face. Although Li Xin himself could not care too much about his reputation, he could not act rashly when it was related to Li Shimin's face. What's more, although Li Xin didn't care about fame, he also knew how depressing it was to be slammed by the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. He didn't want to try.

However, when these words of refusal came to his lips, Li Xin was defeated by Xiao Yu's expectant eyes.

The elder in front of me was known for his integrity and ability during the Sui Dynasty. Later, after Li Shimin raised his troops, he took the initiative to hand over all the soldiers and horses in Hechi, abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, so he was highly valued by Li Shimin. With his wisdom, it is impossible not to see clearly what kind of reaction the book he asked Li Xin to compile will arouse. But he still said it firmly. He decided to take on these things without hesitation, just because he believed that what Li Xin said could help officials govern the country better.

In contrast, Li Xin was worrying about gains and losses for some messy reasons, thinking about how to refuse this matter. This made him feel a little ashamed.

"Of course, this is just a proposal from the old man's whim, and I haven't thought it through carefully. The prince can also have his own considerations, even if he doesn't write it, it doesn't matter." Seeing Li Xin's pensive silence, Xiao Yu opened her mouth with a smile. What kind of person is he? Naturally, he saw through Li Xin's concerns at a glance and understood. After all, in his eyes, Li Xin is just a seventeen-year-old boy, and there are some things that should not be faced too early.

Rather than saying that Xiao Yu would be disappointed because Li Xin chose to refuse, it would be better to say that he admired Li Xin even more. He has seen quite a few seventeen-year-old boys, but among those young people with a little bit of talent and learning, which one is not arrogant and crazy? With such an opportunity to become famous, I'm afraid they would have readily picked up their pens. Only Li Xin, from the short time of contact with him, Xiao Yu can say that this is a young man who is not mature enough to be seventeen years old.

After many years of immersion in the court, Xiao Yu understood very well that talent and learning are only second, and means and the way of dealing with people are the things that determine a person's upper limit. Therefore, when he saw Li Xin, who was full of talents and means, he was of course extremely gratified. He dared to assert that Li Xin would definitely be the mainstay of Datang in the future. After such a young man has a high enough status, it will naturally be more convincing to do this kind of book writing. Apart from being slower, this is indeed the safest way.

However, Li Xin spoke up.
