Chapter 42 Cai'e, you don't resist anymore, it's boring!
Zhao Huan slowly shook his head and said: "In addition to being a prodigal... other nonsense, you also asked for General Zhaoyong for him. It's inappropriate..."
"Everyone has their own merits. Teachers should explore more of children's strengths."
Wen Tai patted Zhao Huan's hand and said: "Just like when I first came to Changsui, no one looked down on me. Only the teacher saw my strengths and cultivated them, so I can be where I am today."
"Well... then you should do what you should do. His Majesty is a wise emperor and has the most trust in you. You have enough room to display your talents."
"What about the teacher? The teacher is only fifty years old, and now he has made extraordinary achievements. Why can't he stay and help His Majesty for a few more years?"
"My body... really can't bear this."
As he spoke, Zhao Huan stopped and said, "You are walking too fast. Take a breath and slow down."
Wen Tai nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, how many steps have you gone down and you are tired?
Why don't you cry out that you are tired when we are marching and fighting?
"Alas..." Wen Tai sighed and said, "Then teacher, just rest well in Yanchuan! But if the war gets serious and His Majesty wants to call again, I really don't know how to cover you, teacher."
"Isn't this simple? You should train General Wang well!"
Zhao Huan did not leave, but sat down on the steps, choosing a half-lying position, and said: "Wang Ren is a man of real talent and knowledge. The most fearful thing about being restrained when marching and fighting is that you don't care too much about him.
Let him go and fight. If he really wins the battle in Yedan, his self-confidence will be built up. No matter how big the battle is in the future, it will not be a problem to stand alone."
Hearing this, Wen Tai's thoughts became more complicated.
Zhao Huan spoke so humbly and in detail, did he really want Wang Ren to grow up?
If Wang Ren really rises, you will never be able to touch that supreme power again.
Are you really willing to let go of the power of holding a mighty army??
Wen Tai probed: "Why don't you stay a few more days, teacher? When Wang Ren is formulating the plan for the Northern Expedition, he can ask you for advice when he encounters something he doesn't understand?"
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "Wang Ren is clean now, so don't let him learn from me."
Wen Tai was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Huan's words were actually very explicit. Now most of the generals in the court are more or less related to Zhao Huan. This is the reason why they will never be promoted to the highest position.
In Zhao Huan's words, they were just unclean in the eyes of the emperor.
Wen Tai secretly glanced at Zhao Huan's eyes. Although his eyes were a little cloudy due to age, they were as clear as a flat lake.
Wen Tai was in awe, bowed and said: "The students admire the teacher for his loyalty and courage to the country."
"Hel me up."
Zhao Huan stretched out his hand, and Wen Tai quickly caught it.
Zhao Huan said: "I never worry about things between you and me, and you should not have any worries in your heart. All I have learned in my life is what I taught the late emperor and you. With my body, I may go to accompany the late emperor one day, so Wentai
...just put your mind on the right things!"
"Students...remember!"
Wen Tai lowered his head, his eyes were red, but his expression became ferocious, as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
"This visit to Tianze Palace should be done once or less."
Zhao Huan looked back at Tianze Palace, patted Wen Tai's bowed back, and said with a smile: "Since you walked this step with me, then walk it all the way with me."
…
"What a saucy operation!"
By the Yanchuan River, Zhao Cheng was sitting on a pony fishing, Zhao Wu was having a small barbecue behind him, and Yang Cai'e and Dong Hua were helping Zhao Wu string the ingredients with wooden skewers.
The weather was sunny and the four of us had a great time.
After receiving the reward from General Zhaoyong, Zhao Wu was puzzled, so he asked Zhao Cheng and received this answer from Zhao Cheng.
"Master, you also know that I don't use my brain when I go out. Please explain."
"Don't you have any brains? You don't."
Zhao Cheng changed a new bait, swung the hook again, and said: "Since the imperial court wants to reward me, it means that Chen Yuxian and Hu Xiayong are recognized as Southern Zhou spies. What about Wang Yufeng who is with Chen Yuxian?"
"If Wang Yufeng is found to have colluded with the Southern Zhou Dynasty, what will Wang Ren do?"
"But now that the imperial court wants to send Wang Ren to the Northern Expedition, Wang Ren can't be implicated because of Wang Yufeng's incident, but he can't ignore it in front of him."
"So the Prime Minister Zuo came up with this trick. He took off Wang Yufeng's general hat and put it directly on my head. Not only did he reward me, but he also showed his attitude to the emperor, ah... Your Majesty, although Wang Ren was not punished on the surface,
But he knows that he has made a big mistake in teaching his son poorly. Your Majesty, don’t worry, he will fight hard and make up for his mistakes!"
Zhao Wu looked at the back of Zhao Cheng's head blankly and said, "Master, how does your head grow? How do you figure out such a complicated problem?"
"Don't stare at my head, it's like you're trying to roast my brain!"
Zhao Cheng moved the small horse tie, took a few steps away from Zhao Wu, and said: "Dong Hua! Cai'e! It's too hot. Come and fan me, master. Don't help him skewer the meat. He's not worthy!"
Yang Cai'e and Dong Hua looked at each other and smiled, and as expected they threw away the ingredients in their hands and ran to Zhao Cheng's side.
Zhao Wu withdrew his crazy jealous gaze, curled his lips, and muttered: "Tsk, women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword. I'm not envious at all."
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, Dong Hua came back, picked up the ingredients and continued to skewer, saying: "The more I say I'm not envious, the more I envy you. The Sangsang girl in the Third Young Master's yard is pretty good, you have to work hard!"
"Sang Sang is too intrusive, even taking care of when the third young master and the young master take a bath..." Zhao Wu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Why are you back again?!"
"Sister has something to say to the master..."
By the river, Yang Cai'e sat down next to Zhao Cheng's legs, looked at the river and said, "How wonderful it would be if people could live so leisurely every day..."
"That's a dream! Don't you want to eat, drink or poop?"
Yang Cai'e's mouth twitched and she said helplessly: "Can't you speak without disturbing the scenery?"
Zhao Cheng said disapprovingly: "I can't stand hypocrisy."
"Then what I'm going to say next is really hypocritical!" Yang Cai'e rolled her eyes at Zhao Cheng and said, "Thank you for accompanying Dong Hua these days."
"Aren't you jealous?"
"Do you want face or not?"
"I just want a wife. When my father comes back, I will marry you!"
"Hmm..." Yang Cai'e responded and rested her head on Zhao Cheng's thigh.
ah?
Yang Cai'e's reaction confused Zhao Cheng.
Didn’t you refuse before?
How did you become so happy??
You don't even resist... I'm not interested in it!
Yang Cai'e seemed to know what Zhao Cheng was thinking, and continued: "I can see from your protection of Dong Hua this time that you are a person worthy of trust."
"Zhao Cheng, if you really want to marry me, I... promise you."
Zhao Cheng understood that Yang Cai'e was entrusted with life. When he was about to reply, a group of people came along the river.
Except for the young man at the head, these ten or so people were all dressed in the same uniform, and they were obviously the young man's entourage.
The young man walked closer to Dong Hua. His eyes lit up when he saw Dong Hua's appearance, and then he saw Yang Cai'e. He instinctively licked his lower lip and almost drooled.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Wu were basically transparent in his eyes.
He walked straight towards Dong Hua, but Zhao Wu immediately stopped in front of him and shouted: "Who are you? You don't have eyes, just come here!"
The young man seemed to have realized Zhao Wu's existence. He showed a look of disdain and sneered: "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?"
"Didn't I just ask you who you are? Are you stupid or deaf?" Zhao Wu turned his head and said to Zhao Cheng: "Master, I may meet someone stupider than me."
A follower stood up from behind the man and said sternly: "Are you tired of living? You even dare to scold the young prime minister?"
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Wu were stunned for a moment.
What?
Little Prime Minister?
Seeing Zhao Wu's expression change, the young man puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Listen up, I am the Young Prime Minister of Yanchuan, Zhao Cheng!"
