Chapter 1509 Dad, what does it mean to catch a child, that is His Majesty's Prime Minister
Chapter 1509 Dad, what does it mean to catch a child? That’s what His Majesty summoned, okay? (Please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Chubi confirmed that this was Li Xiang's father, and he was his biological father. He was afraid that only his biological father would spur his son in this way.
But this is normal. As a child, you have to go through troubles to let him know how cruel this world is.
If your family doesn't take care of you when you are young, you will have to be taken care of by society when you grow up. This is an iron law and truth that generations of people have summarized.
If you pamper a child, you will harm him, unless your parents have the ability to pamper him and raise him for a lifetime.
Just like our old Cheng family, the father and mother typically have a red face and a white face.
The little spanking makes the child scream and scream. It hurts, but it has an effect. Just like now, the children of the old Cheng family are definitely rough-skinned and thick-bodied to bear the beating...
Well, you can pretend you didn’t see the above sentence. It should be said that the children of the old Cheng family, when they entered the official career and officialdom, were definitely the kind who became more courageous with every setback and had an indomitable fighting spirit.
Moreover, they all possess strong ability to withstand pressure and are able to face the malicious slander and criticism from people around them, to the point where the bright moon shines on the river.
Cheng Chubi vaguely remembered that in history, the third generation of the old Cheng family, that is, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, still served as a general to the Sixteenth Guards.
At that time, it must have been seventy or eighty years since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. The favor should have been gone long ago. Why was the old Cheng family still standing? In a word: good education.
Cheng Chubi silently praised Cheng Yaojin, an outstanding educator and father in the early Tang Dynasty.
Then he cheered up and whispered to Li Chengqian, how to make good use of Li Xiang, a naughty kid, to persuade Li Yuan, an old driver.
Why use children? Because children have no inhibitions. Children can say some things, and you, the adults, will listen to them. If you don't want to listen, just treat them like a child talking nonsense, and you won't get angry.
Li Chengqian, who likes to be quiet and not very active, is certainly not happy to have to travel between Chang'an and Luoyang every year because of his stuttering after becoming the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Moreover, after a hundred years, there is a high probability that the naughty Li Xiang will become the fourth generation master of the Tang Dynasty.
Although Li Chengqian was strict with his children, he certainly did not want his own son to have to wander around again and again because of his stuttering after he ascended the throne in the future.
If this matter was frequently recorded in history books by historians, haha, how shameless would the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty be?

Cheng Chubi finally finished dinner in the East Palace, then patted his belly and left the East Palace with satisfaction.
I staggered back home and saw my own father, who had already had dinner, making gestures with the fourth and fifth children spitting like stars.
The eldest brother and the second brother were laughing happily on the sidelines. As for the sixth child, he didn't know where he had gone wild again. He might have gone wild with his sister.
I saw Cheng Sanlang, the only unemployed vagrant in the old Cheng family who had no power or position as an adult, jumping into the hall.
General Cheng waved to Cheng Sanlang and shouted.
"Hey, the third child is back? Come on, come over here, have you eaten?"
Cheng Chubi quickly paid tribute to his family and sat down next to his eldest brother. When he turned around, he saw two scarred faces.
Cheng Chubi almost laughed out loud when he looked at the smug fourth and fifth sons.
Fortunately, he noticed the gaze of his biological father, who was squatting next to him and insisted that the family should be neat and united to the outside world.
He controlled himself in time and twisted his joyful smile into full concern.
"Is this... is this another fight with a classmate in the Imperial College?"
"No... we were fighting outside." The fourth child quickly declared.
"Today I saw a big man beating up a skinny boy, and there was a little baby crying next to him.
I couldn't get angry with Lao Wu, so I started to teach that man a lesson. Who knows..."
Lao Wu on the side had a sad and complicated expression on his face.
"We had just beaten the big guy twice when an official came over. Only then did my fourth brother and I find out that the thin man was a human trafficker.
He wanted to abduct the little baby, but his father chased him over. He was so angry that he beat the trafficker, but..."
"As a result, fourth brother and I certainly couldn't let the guards escort us to the government office, so we naturally ran away and were chased by those guards for several streets before we escaped."
"..." Cheng Chubi looked at the two brothers with a convinced expression, who took action without saying a word when they saw injustice.
I almost wanted to raise my thumbs up to express my admiration towards these two bruised and swollen people.
"Don't you ask what's going on first?"
Lao Wu wiped his face with a frown.
"Fourth brother said that the big one must be bullying the small one. It's impossible for the small one to bully the big one, so we beat that strong man..."
The eldest brother and the second brother rubbed their stomachs and rolled their eyes. Cheng Yaojin pointed with his finger in an angry and funny manner.
"These two stupid boys, when the road is rough, they try to help the strong and support the weak. You should at least ask for the reason."
"Fortunately, you two boys are quite smart and can run fast. Otherwise, I would have to shamelessly go to Chang'an County to pick you two stupid boys up."
"Okay, if you suffer a loss, treat it as a long lesson. Come back to your house quickly, wash up well, and ask Cheng Fu to get you some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine to wipe it off."
After watching the smug fourth and fifth sons leave, General Cheng's eyes fell on Cheng Sanlang.
"Third brother, I heard that you were arrested by His Majesty again today?"
Hearing the vivid word catch, Cheng Sanlang felt bad. I am your biological son, not a mouse.
"Dad, what do you mean by catching a child? His Majesty summoned him, okay? Let me go over and accompany him for a walk inside the camp of the Xun Army."
When General Cheng saw Lao San's appearance, he immediately became happy and took a sip of the extremely strong Yaozhou black tea soup.
"Well, it's not difficult for you, right?"
Since Laosan brought back tea that was said to be made from ancient tea trees in Yaozhou, General Cheng tasted it out of curiosity.
I immediately felt that this tea that smelled like bacon was very strong, and I immediately fell in love with it.
Cheng Chubi is naturally happy to see his father fall in love with this kind of tea. After all, it is not appropriate to use wine as a drink.
However, my father's way of drinking tea is really unique. When others drink this ancient tree raw tea, they always add hot water to it and quickly pour out the tea soup.
My father boiled the water, grabbed a handful of tea leaves and threw it in. He liked the bitter, astringent, and strong taste.
Moreover, my own father still spoke plausibly, saying that after all the hardships, happiness comes, which made me feel happy.
After Cheng Chubi tried his father's unique brewing method, he felt that he was not as good as his father.
Anyway, I drank it once and I don’t want to drink it again.
The two brothers also couldn't stand it. After all, there is only one General Cheng in the world, and the younger generation is no match for him.
"That's not true. Moreover, His Majesty feels that the soldiers trained by Fang Erlang according to the military training manual compiled by Hao'er are very elite."
"I praised the officers and soldiers of the Xie Army very much, as well as Brother Jun and Hao'er."
"Okay, okay, it's not in vain that I have devoted my whole life to this gift..."
