In the early morning, when Mi Yang was having breakfast, he heard a report from Ding Feng, saying that Jiang Wei had something to see outside the house.
After hearing the news, Mi Yang slowly swallowed the venison in his mouth.
The venison was so delicious that he really couldn't do the act of spitting out food like the Duke of Zhou.
But Mi Yang won't keep Jiang Wei waiting.
"Bring your uncle in."
After hearing Mi Yang's instructions, Ding Feng immediately turned around and left.
After Ding Feng left, Mi Yang thought that Jiang Wei might not have had breakfast yet, so he said to Guan Yan beside him:
"Prepare an extra meal."
Even if Mi Yang didn't say so, Guan Yan still had this plan in mind.
So soon, under Guan Yan's arrangement, there was an extra meal on the table opposite Xiao Mi Cheng.
After many days of rest, Xiao Mi Cheng finally recovered from his serious illness.
After the body recovers, Xiao Mi Cheng can no longer be fed by Mi Yang himself.
According to the etiquette of the aristocratic family, even though little Mi Cheng is only five years old, she still has to learn to eat alone at a separate table.
Without waiting for too long, Jiang Wei entered the hall under the leadership of Ding Feng.
As soon as Jiang Wei entered the hall, he saw Mi Yang's family having a meal, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Jiang Wei was also from an aristocratic family. Of course he knew that it would be rude to pay a sudden visit to the host's house while they were having dinner.
For a moment, Jiang Wei wanted to resign to Mi Yang first.
But before Jiang Wei could speak, Mi Yang waved her hand for Jiang Wei to sit down and dine with his family.
Mi Yang's move surprised Jiang Wei, but also moved him to the extreme.
It is rude to visit the host while they are dining, but if the host invites him to dine with him, it also means that he is treated as a family member.
Knowing that Mi Yang valued him so much, Jiang Wei bowed deeply to Mi Yang and Guan Yan, and then sat down on his dining table without any hesitation.
After Jiang Wei sat down, Mi Yang looked at Xiao Mi Cheng who was still holding the deer bone and gnawing at it.
"This is your uncle Bojo."
Mi Yang introduced Jiang Wei to Xiao Mi Cheng.
Although Xiao Mi Cheng is not very old, he has been smart since he was a child. When he heard what Mi Yang said, he understood the meaning of Mi Yang's words.
The meaty little Mi Cheng put down the deer bone in her hand with some reluctance, then raised a glass of water on the food table and said to Jiang Wei:
"My nephew, Goose, respects my uncle and my uncle."
As a child, he always speaks in a babyish voice.
However, the slightly irregular pronunciation did not affect Jiang Wei's ability to hear Xiao Mi Cheng's words clearly.
Seeing Xiao Mi Cheng taking the initiative to salute him, Jiang Wei quickly stood up, raised the wine on the table, bent down and saluted Xiao Mi Cheng:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
According to Xiao Mi Cheng's title, Jiang Wei didn't have to get up, but no matter how kind Mi Yang was to Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei would never forget his identity as Mi Yang's subject.
It was just Jiang Wei's retaliation that put Xiao Mi Cheng in trouble.
Having been raised at home, he was called the crown prince for the first time.
This made him not know how to respond to Jiang Wei.
So he looked at Mi Yang with his bulging eyes. After receiving the look of help from his son, Mi Yang smiled and waved his hand for Xiao Mi Cheng and Jiang Wei to sit down.
"Today is a family banquet. There are no kings or ministers at the banquet, so where will the prince come from?"
Mi Yang's words set the tone for today's gathering with Jiang Wei.
After hearing Mi Yang's words, Jiang Wei was fine, but Xiao Mi Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since it's a family banquet, it shouldn't be a big deal if he makes him look ugly.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mi Cheng picked up the deer bones on the table and started to chew them.
In fact, according to the etiquette of the world, Xiao Mi Cheng's behavior was not very polite.
After all, even though he is only five years old, as the eldest son of Mi Yang, he has been burdened with many honors since he was a child. With more honors, there are naturally more restrictions.
However, Mi Yang, who came from a later generation, did not like to restrict his son too much since he was a child. This led to Xiao Mi Cheng still maintaining his true temperament in the house.
His true temperament also made Mi Yang feel full of love and satisfaction.
After looking at Xiao Mi Cheng happily for a few times, Mi Yang turned his gaze to Jiang Wei.
"Bojo came today for the purpose of the Eastern Campaign."
Since he regards Jiang Wei as his confidant, Mi Yang will not beat around the bush.
Similarly, when faced with Mi Yang's direct inquiry, Jiang Wei said without any concealment:
"Exactly.
I don't understand why Grand Sima didn't take me with him when he was marching eastward.
I want to make great achievements, and I also want to be with Da Sima at all times and listen to his teachings."
After hearing Jiang Wei's words, Mi Yang's face showed a smile.
"Since that day when Bo Yue surrendered to me, I promised Bo Yue that in the future you and I will be both kings and ministers, and also brothers who can rely on each other for life.
With this friendship still alive, how can I forget Boyo?
It’s just that I have other uses for Boyue.”
Mi Yang also used four words, which made Jiang Wei's eyes light up.
He knew that Mi Yang would never forget him.
So how does Mi Yang want to use him?
Jiang Wei couldn't wait to hold up his hands and asked Mi Yang:
"I hope Da Sima will make it clear."
Seeing Jiang Wei's eager look, Mi Yang didn't give in. His fingers were immersed in the delicious food and Xiao Mi Cheng said:
"What do you think of my son?"
As soon as Mi Yang said these words, Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment.
But Jiang Wei soon came to his senses.
"The prince is smart and wise, and has the style of a great Sima."
This was the first time Jiang Wei met Xiao Mi Cheng. Xiao Mi Cheng had rarely appeared in front of the world before, so Jiang Wei's evaluation of Xiao Mi Cheng's intelligence and wisdom was actually a kind of compliment.
However, the second half of Jiang Wei's words came from the heart.
The way the Crown Prince and Da Sima eat venison are indeed very similar!
Mi Yang also knew that Jiang Wei was praising Xiao Mi Cheng, but he didn't care about it. After Jiang Wei answered, he continued:
"I've been worrying about something lately.
As Ji Yang grew older, many people in the government and the public were begging to be Ji Yang's mentor.
It’s not that I don’t know what they are thinking, so I mostly refuse them politely.
But at Ji Yang’s age, it’s time to find a good teacher for him.”
"I studied under the late emperor, the prime minister, and the former Taiwei, so I don't look down on ordinary people.
On the contrary, Bo Yue, you are very much in line with my wishes."
When Mi Yang finished speaking, not only Jiang Wei raised his head and looked at Mi Yang in surprise, but Guan Yan beside Mi Yang also looked at him with incredible eyes.
How is Jiang Wei?
In terms of family background, the Tianshui Jiang family is also one of the top families in Guanzhong.
What's more, Jiang Wei has been known as Youlin in Tianshui County since he was a child, which shows that he is recognized by many scholars in terms of talent and learning.
As for military strategy, Jiang Wei made several meritorious deeds within just two years of joining Mi Yang, which is also admirable.
From these aspects, Jiang Wei being Xiao Mi Cheng's tutor does not mean he has wronged Xiao Mi Cheng.
But there is something criticized about Jiang Wei in the eyes of the world, that is, he is a surrendered general.
No matter how much Mi Yang favored Jiang Wei, or how great Jiang Wei's achievements were, his status as a surrendered general would always be a lingering stain on Jiang Wei.
Don't look at Jiang Wei in history, he became Ji Han's general, but that was when Ji Han had no talents.
And even if Jiang Wei became a general, he was a great general, but he was afraid of Huang Hao, an eunuch?
If it were the other generals of the Han Dynasty who had given Huang Hao a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare to push him away.
This is enough to show that Jiang Wei's general is "in name only".
The main reason for this is Jiang Wei's status as a reduced general.
Of course Jiang Wei himself knew this.
So after Mi Yang finished speaking, Jiang Wei, who had reacted, immediately stood up and bowed to Mi Yang:
"My lord, my lord..."
Jiang Wei didn't even know what to say.
