"This marriage is a big deal after all. You don't have to make a hasty decision. Anyway, whether you agree or disagree, your mother and I have personally decided on this marriage for you.
As long as your son is still my son, Zhao Chongyuan, you must get married. "
Zhao Ding looked at him and said nothing.
Zhao Chongyuan raised his eyebrows and said leisurely.
Originally, Zhao Ding was extremely moved when he heard what Zhao Chongyuan said in front of him, but when he heard what he said next, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
But when he opened his mouth, he closed it again.
When people are under the eaves, they have to lower their heads.
Swearing back and forth is not equivalent to scolding yourself.
After a long while, Zhao Ding looked at Zhao Chongyuan and asked in a low voice: "Father, if I help you with the disaster relief errands, can I return to Youzhou?"
"Don't go back to Youzhou yet."
"What? Not going back?"
Zhao Ding suddenly became anxious.
What does it mean not to go back to Youzhou?
Let me stay in this capital?
Play!
It took me eight years of hard work!
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding and said slowly: "Anyway, there is still some time before the rainy season, and there is no rush for disaster relief, and the marriage must be discussed slowly. During this period of time, I plan to send you to the Imperial College, inside the Imperial College They are all great Confucian scholars, rich in knowledge and talents, so you and Qingzhan should learn from them the knowledge of governing the country and the people, and wait until you have learned enough skills.
Your father, I will consider your next arrangement. "
"Uncle Wang, you want to go to the Imperial College too? Okay, okay, okay."
Upon hearing what Zhao Chongyuan said, Zhao Ding didn't say anything.
Zhao Qingzhan jumped up immediately.
What a fart.
Zhao Ding rolled his eyes.
Only then did Zhao Qingzhan tell him that Xu Ruoyun was a sacrificial wine from the Imperial College.
Zhao Chongyuan couldn't wait to send him to the Imperial Academy.
What does this mean?
Even fools understand.
After looking at Queen Ma's eyes, Zhao Ding was not in a hurry to argue. He raised his hands and refused: "Dad, you know what's going on in Youzhou. Your son, if I can manage Youzhou like that, what else do you need to learn to govern the country and bring peace to the people?" Besides, those great scholars are all just talking on paper. If you ask them to actually govern the country, they will not care about it. What is there to learn? Instead of doing this, you might as well..."
"You mean you and I can only talk on paper?"
Before Zhao Ding could finish speaking, Zhao Chongyuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Ding sideways.
I'm so angry!
I'm really furious!
Old man, don't force me! ! ! !
After listening to Zhao Chongyuan's words, Zhao Ding stamped his feet angrily, but still said with a smile on his face: "Father, look at what you said, great Confucianism pays attention to Confucianism, governing the country with benevolence and righteousness, and governing the world with etiquette, but Father What you practice is the king's way, and what you pay attention to is that of an emperor, one person is the heaven, and you have great power. You judge the time and situation, make the best use of things, make the best use of people, have a broad heart to accommodate the world, and a broad mind to accept all rivers.
Can these two be synonymous? "
"As an emperor, one person is the heaven, one has great power, one can judge the situation, make the best use of things, make the best use of people's talents, have a broad heart to accommodate the world, and a broad mind to accommodate all rivers?"
After listening to Zhao Ding's words, Zhao Chongyuan murmured to himself.
Smacking his lips.
He stood there and thought about it over and over again.
After a while, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Ding, touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Well, what you said is right. I listened to what you said, old man..."
"Then Father, I..."
"no."
Zhao Ding: (▼へ▼メ)
It is absolutely impossible to hide the look in someone's eyes that wants a knife! ! !
"Father..."
"Okay, stop talking. Just because you can govern a place well does not necessarily mean that you can govern a country well. You, me and I were able to ascend to the throne back then, and we also governed a place well, but so what? Now that I have ascended the throne, Twenty years have passed, and we are still in a dilemma. One place is easy to govern, but a country is difficult to govern.
You can look down on those great scholars, but you have to learn their skills. If you don't learn, they will deceive you and flatter you.
It is said that governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, but how to cook these small dishes and how to guess what the ministers are thinking from behind each memorial is the difficult part.
Right, Prince Yan. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Chongyuan deliberately emphasized the three characters "Prince Yan".
Zhao Ding rolled his eyes when he heard this.
You've been waiting for me here for a long time!
But without waiting for Zhao Ding to speak, Zhao Chongyuan patted Zhao Ding on the shoulder: "Governing a country is like herding cows. You have to feed those cows and at the same time know how to drive them. A city can say what it says. Da, but a country is not that simple. There are countless people's thoughts in it, and these people's thoughts are the most difficult to grasp.
Because since ancient times, what governs a country is the human heart.
You can manage the barren land of Youzhou since ancient times, and turn it into what it is today in just eight years, and build it into an iron barrel, but that doesn't mean that you can transform this big land into what it is today. Can turn into an iron bucket.
The human heart is always the most difficult to understand. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Chongyuan said with rare emotion.
Listen to what Zhao Chongyuan said.
Zhao Ding was also unusually silent.
As the saying goes, one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.
Three monks can do this, let alone a state, a country, or thousands of places.
There are endless schemes and plots in the human mind.
You never know the truest thoughts in the heart of the person standing in front of you with a smiling face.
"But Father, the people of Youzhou need me."
After a while, Zhao Ding said with a smile on his face.
"You kid and I are pretending to be stupid, right?"
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding sideways.
"No."
"No?"
Zhao Chongyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't think that I don't know what's going on in your mind. You just want to return to Youzhou and be your rich prince. Let me tell you, I haven't settled the accounts for you yet!"
Leaving aside the matter of bullying the army, let me ask you, what exactly did you do in Youzhou?
One by one, you and I will remember it in my heart. "
"What on earth did my son do?"
Listening to Zhao Chongyuan mention this, Zhao Ding's voice couldn't help but become a little softer.
"What did you do?"
Zhao Chongyuan slapped the table and scolded: "You secretly exchanged supplies with the enemy's merchants in Youzhou, and secretly raised soldiers and armor. How many soldiers do you have in Youzhou now?"
"How many?"
Hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words, Zhao Qingzhan suddenly raised his head curiously. Even Queen Ma, who had been smiling at the side, couldn't help but look over curiously.
"Hey, it's only fifty thousand."
Zhao Ding laughed and said.
"Are you pretending to be me again?"
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Ding sideways.
"One hundred thousand."
Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows and said.
"Pretend again?"
Zhao Ding: (￣ω￣;)
