When Li Lin heard this, his fingers paused, and he pressed his fingertips on the tea cup with a little force, but the expression on his face did not change at all.
He thought to himself, what taboo has he committed recently? This person wants to find him a son, and the other wants to find him an apprentice. Does he seem to be someone who wants to be a father and a master to others?
"The prince is joking. Li is used to it. He really has no intention of accepting a disciple." His expression was plain, as if he didn't take the matter to heart. "Besides, there are so many talents in Dongzhao. If you want to Finding a famous teacher is also an easy task.”
If you were anyone else, you would have to go through a lot of hard work to find a famous teacher, and you would also need to be appreciated by the teacher. But if Prince Zhao's Mansion leads the way, who wouldn't give Prince Zhao's Mansion some face?
Famous teachers are indeed capable and superior to others, but they also have to eat.
The voice of the storyteller outside the window rose and fell, tea smoke curled up in the private room, and an ice basin was placed around the corner, making the room even quieter and cooler.
Zhao Mingzhan took a sip of tea and then said: "Master Li, why are you so busy refusing? You might as well listen to what I have to say first."
Zhao Mingzhan glanced at the screen again. Li Lin put the tea cup on the table and said in a calm voice, "She fell asleep."
Zhao Mingzhan: "..."
Su Wan: "..."
Her hands shook and she almost dropped the tea cup in her hand. Her face turned red with embarrassment. She thought to herself, don't you know whether I am asleep or not?
In fact, after getting along with him for a long time, Su Wan also knew a little bit about this person. He was not that famous in private. He would get angry if he offended him, would settle accounts afterwards, and was sometimes very petty.
He has a pretty good relationship with the guards like Yuanyou Huifeng. They are not just masters and servants, but also have a mutually supportive and growing friendship. He will regard these people as brothers or friends, and sometimes let them do whatever they want, or It’s about cleaning up the mess.
Before they got married, she also knew that when he treated outsiders, he was like a good-looking young master, easy-going and tolerant, with few emotions.
But when he was with her, he would also say a lot of nice things to coax her, so that she only cared about him and felt that there was no other gentleman in the world who could compare with him.
Li Lin said: "Your Majesty, please tell me."
Zhao Mingzhan felt a little hesitant when he heard this. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but in fact he couldn't. He finally found an opportunity to bring the ninth prince to the emperor, letting the emperor know that this youngest son was a talented person and was willing to give it a try.
But it was related to the safety of the Ninth Prince, and he didn't want too many people to know. He didn't know much about Su Wan, and he didn't know whether she would be able to keep it secret after learning about it. If the news got out, the Ninth Prince was afraid that It's going to be dangerous.
He was originally thinking about how King Sui and King Ming were going to fight, so let's fight. The Ninth Prince was still young, so let him study hard and talk about other things when he returns from school.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Li Lin stretched out his hand to add tea to the other person and said with a smile: "Actually, why do you need to worry about it? What I know is equivalent to her knowing it. If the prince really doesn't want to say it, then he doesn't want to say it. "
Zhao Mingzhan thought about it carefully, but it was indeed the case. Now that the two were husband and wife, how could there be so many secrets between husband and wife.
"I was mistaken." Zhao Mingzhan took a sip of tea and considered his words before saying, "Actually, I came here today for what the Ninth Prince asked for. There are many famous teachers in Dong Zhao, but if the Ninth Prince can have your guidance, he will be able to It’s definitely not bad.”
"Ninth Prince?" Li Lin was slightly surprised. He knew that there was another Ninth Prince in Dong Zhao, but he was still young and his mother's family was of low origin. He was a transparent person. King Sui Ming and even the former Prince of the East Palace did not treat him. Take it lightly.
When Zhao Mingyan said this to him now, the implication was that he wanted to train the Ninth Prince and help him rise to power.
"It is the Ninth Prince. I wonder if Your Excellency is willing to accept this disciple."
Li Lin rubbed his fingers back and forth on the edge of the teacup a few times, stared at him for a long time, and said in a leisurely voice: "Jing Yuan thought that there was something ready-made right in front of him, so why waste so much effort on looking far away. "
Naturally, Li Lin hoped that the person in charge of Dong Zhao in the future would be a capable and wise king. He had no intention of turning against Dong Zhao, and he also hoped that the world would be peaceful and the people would live and work in peace and contentment.
King Sui is too utilitarian and arrogant, King Ming is even more stupid, and even the previous prince Zhao Mingqi is selfish, arrogant and ignorant. It is hard to say what will happen to the world if these three people are in power.
If Zhao Mingzhan comes to power, Dong Zhao's future will be visible. If Dong Jun is not stupid or blind, he will naturally be able to see it.
Zhao Mingzhan's expression did not change when he heard this, and he just smiled: "The throne of Dong Zhao is not comparable to that of the Li family in Licheng. Many times, I cannot be my own master. Mingzhan does not want to be the master of the world, but he wants to be his own master."
Although being an emperor is good, there are too many things he has no control over. He is already very satisfied with the situation in front of him. He has power, wealth, and a loving wife and young son. He wants to serve the country and do things for the people. In his position It's enough, why go one step further.
He didn't want to work hard all his life, only to be unable to keep the things he cherished most.
"I've been observing the Ninth Prince for a while. He has a pretty good temperament. If he is well cultivated, he will definitely be able to take on the world in the future."
"Then just teach him well." Li Lin smiled, "If Dong Zhao can have another wise king, the Li family will definitely be happy."
Zhao Mingzhan asked again: "I wonder if the Li family leader is willing to accept this apprentice?"
Li Lin smiled again: "The crown prince of Dong Zhao will be taught by Dong Zhao's famous teachers and Dong Jun himself. If not, there will be King Zhao and you, the crown prince. I am an outsider, so I won't get involved. If I teach him, there will be no chance of him getting involved." If you can teach people well, you will become the sinner of Eastern Zhao through the ages."
Who would do such a thankless thing? Could it be that he is regarded as a fool.
Zhao Mingzhan said: "The Li family has lasted for more than 200 years. Generations of descendants are all capable people, and all of them are like geniuses. As long as you are willing, there is no reason why you can't teach me well."
Li Lin laughed when he heard the words, and said in a gentle tone: "The prince may not know the way the Li family raises their children. It's not a secret. It doesn't hurt to tell you. When the child is six years old, the father will take the child to travel. He needs to I have traveled all over the world, seen all kinds of things in this world, and suffered all the hardships in this world."
"My father is both a father and a teacher. He leads him along this journey, teaches him the knowledge in books, and leads him to see the principles of the world. This journey takes a full six years."
"When a child is raised to twelve years old, he needs to go out alone. The world is so big that he can go as he pleases and continue to experience the various ways of all sentient beings in this world."
"In this way, after another six or seven years, he will naturally become a talented person."
"After all, Dong Zhao and I don't have that much of a bond. I have to spend six years teaching a prince with all my heart..."
