Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Zhang Shiwei was startled and looked at Zhao Ding with a smile: "Prince, please don't make trouble. Since ancient times, no prince likes to live in a corner.
Are you right? "
At this point, Zhang Shiwei did not continue talking.
There is not much difference between saying it or not saying it.
This king is interested in that...
Alas, forget it.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ding still felt that there was no need to say anything.
Because no one would believe it.
Zhao Ding could only say: "Actually, I really don't have any ambitions in my heart."
Oh, Your Majesty, you are being modest.
Zhang Shiwei's eyes showed a look of surprise.
Zhao Ding was left speechless again.
But there is nothing to explain.
After all, people today have never seen Youzhou, so there is really no way to explain it too much, and naturally they cannot understand it.
But Zhang Shiwei's idea is indeed correct to a certain extent. Since Zhao Ding has returned from Youzhou, he has completely entered the court situation.
When the crown prince's position is unstable, as a prince, whether he advances or retreats, it is easy to arouse the fear of others and generate some thoughts.
Otherwise, Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng would not have personally sent someone to invite Zhao Ding to the banquet.
In the end, Zhao Heng even personally invited the guests.
Because all this is for power, profit, and influence.
Now even if Zhao Ding wants to retreat, it will not be that simple.
After a long while, Zhang Shiwei finally said seriously: "Actually, I shouldn't say more about what the prince is thinking, but since you, the prince, are the prince of Daqian and have returned to the capital from Youzhou, your majesty will grant you a marriage." , and against all opinions, let the prince go to suppress the disaster, and now to rectify the Imperial College.
Not to mention the marriage granted by His Majesty, it is the matter of disaster relief and rectification of the Imperial College. In the bottom of your heart, Your Majesty may think that Your Majesty is noble and honest and dedicated to the country, so he entrusts this errand to Your Majesty.
I do think so,
But others don't think so.
Your Majesty, you have grown from a powerless prince. Your Majesty has given you a marriage, allowed you to suppress disasters and establish your prestige, and also asked you to rectify the Imperial College and give you the Imperial College, which will be the pillars of the future country. Commander.
Each of these things will inevitably have other ideas in the eyes of outsiders.
It would be okay if Prince Yiwen was alive, but Prince Yiwen is not alive, and the eldest grandson of Emperor Qingzhan is young and ignorant. Under such circumstances, there will naturally be more people who have thoughts about you.
So I boldly say something bluntly today. "
Having said this, Zhang Shiwei suddenly stood up and bowed to Zhao Ding. Zhao Ding was so frightened that he quickly stood up and tried to help him up. However, Zhang Shiwei still kept his posture of cupping his fists and bowing, and said to Zhao Ding: "So, Prince , whether as your former teacher or your assistant in the Imperial College in the future.
I want to ask you, Your Majesty, to put aside your idea of just being a free and happy prince.
You have to fight for this great position, and His Majesty also hopes that you will fight for it.
Although I haven’t seen the prince for a long time, my prince, you have been able to say such words before.
I also feel that Your Majesty must be a person who loves the people deep down.
The common people of my country have suffered from corrupt officials, wealthy families, and powerful people for a long time.
I have to say this today even if I risk losing my head. If there is another emperor like the late emperor, I am afraid that the country and the country will collapse in an instant.
By that time, the people who can still make a living today will probably be completely displaced. If an enemy country takes advantage of this to invade again, they will really be in danger of annihilation. "
Plop!
Zhang Shiwei knelt directly on the ground and said, "Please, Your Majesty, fight for this great position, for your own sake and for the sake of the people of the world."
"this....."
Looking at Zhang Shiwei in front of him, Zhao Ding was stunned for a moment.
During this period of time, he has seen so much and seen so much, coupled with the influence of his previous life, it is impossible to say that his mentality has not changed. ,
A corner of peace may be cool for a while, but it cannot be cool for a lifetime, especially in this period similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when countries frequently fought against each other, and it was really difficult for him to stick to one side.
"Master Zhang, let me think about it."
After a while, Zhao Ding finally helped Zhang Shiwei up, remained silent for a while, and sighed helplessly.
"good."
Zhang Shiwei is not in a hurry either.
Then he quickly ran to the back room.
He took out a jade talisman and placed a piece of rice paper in front of Zhao Ding.
"This jade talisman is my token. Please keep it, my lord. After a while, when you go to the place where Qingyang meets Qingyang to provide disaster relief, if you are blocked by the local government, you will be betrayed and deceived.
Take this jade talisman and go to Baiyun Academy in Yangzhou to find a man named Fan Kezeng. He was a former student. He became an official in the eighth year of Jingyuan and served as the supervisor of the Chief Secretary Yamen of Qingzhou and Yangzhou.
Later, he couldn't stand the official atmosphere of Qingzhou and Yangzhou, so he chose to resign and teach at Baiyun Academy in Qingzhou.
This person is upright and resolute. He has been an official for several years and has a lot of knowledge about the affairs of the people in Qingyang and Yangtze. If the prince comes in need of me, he may be able to give you some help. "
At this point, Zhang Shiwei stopped talking.
Because the meaning of the words is already very clear.
Now that Zhao Ding was favored by Zhao Chongyuan and was at the height of his power in the Daqian court, there were too many people who wanted to bring down Zhao Ding. In addition, the incident with the Imperial College cut off Zhou Shan's arm.
Zhou Shan did not dare to object directly on the surface, but secretly decided to set a stumbling block for Zhao.
If we add Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng, two princes who have always been eyeing the throne.
Zhao decided to go to Qingyang and Yangzhou to provide disaster relief.
That must be very difficult.
There is someone you can trust and understand the local situation.
It can also save Zhao Ding a lot of trouble.
"Well, thank you Master Zhang."
Looking at the jade talisman handed over by Zhang Shiwei, Zhao Ding thought for a while and finally said thank you.
I have to say that Zhang Shiwei did help him a lot.
If he goes to provide disaster relief, if he doesn't know the place well, even a mighty dragon can't defeat a local snake.
But apart from this person, Zhao Ding himself had actually made some preparations. He had already asked Zhang San to send pigeons to send a message back to Youzhou, and asked Hu San to mobilize his own people from Youzhou.
After all, he couldn't trust the people from his father, Zhao Chongyuan, or the people recommended to him by Zhang Shiwei. The only people he could trust were those in Youzhou who had survived the hardships with him.
Moreover, these people are also Zhao Ding's close confidants, and they are the easiest to use.
"What about this?"
After putting away the jade talisman, Zhao Ding turned his attention to the rice paper handed over by Zhang Shiwei. At the same time, Zhang Shiwei had prepared pen and ink next to the rice paper.
"Please ask Prince Yan to study for the future students of our country."
Zhang Shiwei cupped his fists.
