Chapter 290 How to obtain father’s love is also an art (second update)
However, he had already made up his mind to form a good relationship with the future Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty.
Naturally, we couldn't just watch the eldest son of the emperor continue to run in the opposite direction from his own father.
And if you want to please this faint master, haha, do you need to ask anyone else?
Gao Zhang showed a kind smile towards the eldest son of the emperor in front of him who was not stupid, but was still young and did not understand what human accidents were...
This smile immediately made Zhao Huan numb with laughter, making the eight-year-old prince shrink back with fear.
"Brother, please don't laugh so horribly, okay?"
"Ah, ahem... Don't be afraid, Your Highness, I just feel that you may have misunderstood, Your Highness."
"Could it be a misunderstanding? My father said that after I read through the Tao Te Ching, I can understand its true meaning."
"...Your Highness, have you ever communicated with your father?"
"Communicate?" Zhao Huan blinked and shook his head sadly.
"I listen to what my father says because I think it makes sense, and I hope that my father will like me more so that I can listen to his teachings more."
"But my father has always been very busy, working hard on national affairs every day. It would be great if he could take time to visit me occasionally."
Seeing the gloomy Zhao Huan in front of him, Gao Zhang stretched out his hand and patted his thin shoulder.
"I understand, you hope that you can win the love of your father and pay more attention to you, but you don't know how to show it."
Zhao Huan did not answer, but moved his head up and down rapidly, his bright eyes shining with expectation and surprise.
It's like meeting a confidant who understands you deeply.
"If you want to win your father's favor, it's actually very simple." Gao Zhang showed a gentle smile.
"Really?" Zhao Huan looked at the wily Gao Zhang in front of him with an expression like "I don't know much, so don't lie to me."
"Of course it's true. Have you started practicing calligraphy now?"
Seeing Zhao Huan nodding, he seemed to be afraid that Gao Zhang would not believe it, so he picked up a dead branch and wrote on the snow.
Looking at his serious brushstrokes, Gao Zhang soon realized that Zhao Huan's brushstrokes were very honest and regular.
But the concentration with which he wrote really surprised Gao Zhang.
But it was right. Gao Zhang remembered what his uncle who was a psychiatrist once said.
People who tend to be in a daze and daydream do not mean that they cannot concentrate, but that they tend to think about other different things anyway.
It shows that this child is smart, of course, the reason why my uncle said this.
It was the time when the little kid from my second aunt's family was beaten until she screamed because she didn't pay attention in class, resulting in poor academic performance.
No matter what, at least Zhao Huan seemed to be quite focused when writing with a stick.
"Whose calligraphy are you practicing?" Gao Zhang asked quietly.
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Huan was still there concentrating on copying a small stick and continuing to write on the snow, as if he was not listening to what was going on outside the window.
It wasn't until Gao Zhang, whose face turned a little dark, that he raised his voice for the second time and asked, that he realized what he was doing.
"What I practice is regular script that my mother asked me to practice, and I learn from Liu Gongquan."
Gao Zhang's mouth twisted and he finally asked directly.
"Then why don't you just practice the thin gold body created by your father?"
"My mother said that children should learn regular script from the beginning, so naturally I wanted to practice regular script."
Gao Zhang smacked his lips. Indeed, this is what a normal mother expects from her child.
But the problem is, your husband is not a serious person, well... he should be a normal biological father who cannot be judged by common sense.
"What your mother said is not wrong, but Your Highness, have you ever thought that your father is a master calligrapher who can create a brand new calligraphy font."
"And you haven't learned your father's calligraphy. Doesn't this seem a bit inappropriate?"
Zhao Huan stared blankly at Gao Zhang in front of him, nodded his head with enlightenment, and began to mutter to himself.
"If I can concentrate on learning my father's thin gold body, I think my father will naturally be happier even if he can't see me as blue as blue..."
"I see...little brother, you are so awesome. No wonder my father likes you so much."
Looking at Zhao Huan in front of me who was so excited that he dropped the stick in his hand and was gearing up, wishing he could practice his thin golden body for three days and three nights to show off his performance.
Gao Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhao Huan was not unable to communicate, but that he had been closed in a circle like the palace ban.
There is no life mentor like him who can wholesale chicken soup for the soul and give him the correct guidance.
But it just so happened that Master Hunjun hoped that he would take more care of Zhao Huan, the eldest son of the emperor, and also hoped to lead this eldest son who was not like him back to the right path.
Even though Zhao Huan didn't have much talent in art, he still had a good family background.
In addition, as a top student in the art academy, I can give him guidance, which can at least keep him from losing his father's favor. In this way, I can gain enough favorability with Master Hunjun.
#####
You can also get a lot of favor from Zhao Huan.
Well...no matter what you do, it's something that won't hurt you.
But at this time, Zhao Huan once again talked about the depression that the Tao Te Ching had brought to him.
He didn't want to practice Taoism, but he was forced to learn this thing by his own father, which made him feel awkward. Once he felt awkward, he would naturally get tired of learning.
Fortunately, Gao Zhang generally knew some of Master Hunjun’s philosophy of governing the country, and Master Hunjun believed in Taoism.
Naturally, I was also very interested in the Taoist political philosophy that I had used to treat people, and I even discussed it with myself.
This naturally gave Gao Zhang the opportunity to teach and resolve doubts in front of Zhao Huan.
"Your Highness, it is true that this "Tao Te Ching" is an important Taoist classic, but this "Tao Te Ching" is not just a Taoist classic.
It is also the political thought of the ancient sages, uh... an elaboration and summary of a concept of governing the country."
As an art student who inherits the traditional calligraphy and painting art of Chinese civilization, he will naturally have a certain understanding of the traditional culture of Chinese civilization.
To give the simplest example, before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the concept of governing the country relied on Huang-Lao theory.
Huang-Lao knowledge does not refer to one person, but two people, one is Huangdi and the other is Laozi.
It is the collective name of Huangdi’s studies and Laozi’s studies. From the middle of the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, Huang-Lao Taoism was extremely popular.
Although Zhao Huan still looked confused, he finally understood what Gao Zhang said.
"It turns out that the Tao Te Ching actually contains principles for governing the country?"
