Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 25
Xue Juzheng coughed violently, and an unhealthy blush appeared on his thin and pale face.

He took a breath for a while before slowly opening his mouth:
"I'm here because I have a few important words that I want to say to Your Highness face to face:"

"The king of Jin is young and powerful, smart and capable. He is also an outstanding person in the world. Unfortunately, his twilight is already showing. If he succeeds to the throne, he will be more than successful, but not enterprising. I am afraid it will not be a blessing for the Song Dynasty!"

"Furthermore, brothers end up with brothers, since ancient times it has been the source of chaos, and it is definitely not the righteous way of the inheritance of the country!"

"Your Highness is young, intelligent, and talented, and he is the hope of our Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Dezhao never expected that this old man would value him so much, and he said it so bluntly, it was like revealing his ambition to his face!

He suppressed the shock in his heart and said humbly: "Sir, you are so complimentary. I am young and ill-informed, so I am afraid that I will not be able to live up to the high expectations of my husband."

Xue Ju showed a smile on his face:
"The former inspector Taifu, Zhao Shi Erlang, was impetuous and arrogant, so he couldn't afford it. At that time, the old man was very disappointed, so he sent you out of the palace to study. I hope you can repent after suffering this setback. Progress."

"Fortunately, the heavens have paid off the painstaking efforts of the old man. Today's Tianshui County King has completely changed, and he is completely different from the past. He must be worthy of it."

When Zhao Dezhao heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "I returned to Gongxue this time, but I just insulted you once. Because of this, you suddenly value me so much?"

But this kind of question can only be kept in the bottom of my heart, and I can't ask it out.

Unexpectedly, Xue Juzheng then spoke up by himself.

"Your Highness has the courage to stand up and protect the younger brother, and is willing to condescend to visit the old man. This is kindness."

"Being able to recite the entire chapter without missing a word is a natural talent."

"After defeating the old man, he didn't feel complacent and arrogant. Instead, he gave the old man a step. This is knowing how to advance and retreat."

"To understand people's mind and nature, the first thing is to see the small things and know the works. The small things are more important than the big things. I am over [-] years old and have read a lot of people. I will never make a mistake."

"Benevolence, intelligence, and knowing how to advance and retreat. Your Highness has these three things, so what can you not do? Your Highness holds these three things, and the world is uncertain!"

Hearing this short speech, Zhao Dezhao was overwhelmed with emotion. No one had ever given him such strong affirmation and encouragement in his past and present lives together!

……

After a while, Zhao Dezhao stood in front of the palace school, watched Xue Juzheng's carriage disappear from sight, and thought in his heart: "I'm afraid the old man will not have much time, so we may not be able to see you again."

Xue Juzheng's last words before parting echoed in his mind for a long time:
"In exchange for protecting the old man's descendants, the king of Jin tried to lure the old man to give a tribute to him, and please make him the emperor's younger brother."

"Hehe, you have misunderstood me, Xue. I, Xue, have no shame in the sky, the heavens, the earth, and the king. How can I abolish the great duke of the world because of my little selfishness?!"

"The king of Jin tried his best to use such little tricks, so how can he have the magnificence of the Lord of the Kingdom? That's why this old man is extremely disappointed in him!"

"The old man's heart-to-heart relationship with His Highness today is not for the sake of His Highness's blessings for his descendants, but for the future of our Dasong Sheji. I only hope that His Highness cherishes himself and forges ahead bravely from now on!"

Only now did Zhao Dezhao know from Xue Juzheng's report that Zhao Guangyi, king of Jin, came to Xue's mansion yesterday, and he was indeed not just visiting the sick!
"Second brother, what did Mr. Xue say to you just now? Are you blasphemy again?"

At this time, Zhao Defang appeared behind him, poked his head, and asked curiously.

Zhao Dezhao wiped the corner of his eyes, turned around and said viciously:

"He sued me and said that you were mischievous and difficult to study in the palace school, and asked me, the elder brother, to punish you severely!"

Zhao Defang shrank his head, stuck out his tongue, and ran back to the classroom.

The classroom was in chaos at this time, and the monkeys were having a great time when the tiger was not on the mountain. Some jumped up and down, some shouted, and some punched and broke their wrists.

Xue Juzheng was unable to teach due to illness, and the professor of palace studies who filled the vacancy had not yet been appointed. As for the servants in the palace school who were in charge of cleaning and serving food, how could they manage these young people with prominent backgrounds?Right now it's completely disorganized and undisciplined.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao strode into the classroom from the outside, stood behind the desk and shouted:
"Silence! Mr. Xue is not here, I am the biggest here! Sit down for me!"

As he spoke, he picked up the ruler left by Mr. Xue and slapped it hard on the desk.

The whole hall was silent, no one dared to make a sound, they all jumped off the table and sat upright.

Zhao Dezhao also said that it was true, in terms of age, he, the "dropout and returning student", was the longest; in terms of status, he was the eldest son of the emperor, and he was named the county king, with the most respected status.

None of these half-children had the guts to speak out.

Only Zhao Defang was not very afraid of this elder brother, and whispered under his breath: "Second brother, do you want to teach us to read too?"

There was a slight burst of laughter immediately below, everyone knew the level of knowledge of his second brother, and it was definitely impossible to teach people to read.

Originally, Zhao Dezhao just wanted to rectify the classroom order, but at this moment he suddenly thought of a good idea.

"I won't teach you when you study, I'll give you something more interesting."

"What's interesting? Is it the erotic album? It must be a new album that you haven't seen. The paintings should be detailed and vivid, otherwise it will be a bit boring." A young man under the stage joked with a smile.

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom immediately.

This group of half-sized boys, the young ones are fourteen or five years old, and the old ones are seventeen or eighteen. They are at the age of lust and Mu Shaoai. Concubine, they are keen on erotic albums, just like boys in later generations are keen on sex.

Zhao Dezhao smiled and waved his hands: "What's the point if there are only two unclothed ones coming and going in the erotic album?"

The classroom laughed again.

Zhao Dezhao paused, looked around the audience, and said loudly: "Today I will tell you a story, a story you have never heard before!"

The classroom was quiet for a moment, and then burst into cheers: "Good!"

The storytelling industry in the Song Dynasty was quite prosperous. In various teahouses and restaurants, there were often storytellers telling storytelling stories, which were often very popular, and these boys were very interested.

Zhao Dezhao tapped the ruler and spoke.

"In other words, in the far west and far north of our Song Dynasty, there is a rich continent. Most of the men and women there are blond and blue-eyed..."

In his previous life, Zhao Dezhao didn't have much in his stomach except for being a little familiar with history.

If you really want him to tell stories like the storyteller in the wine shop, it's impossible to tell stories.

So he simply talked about his geographical knowledge in his previous life.
