Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

Even though Jiang Tuan's behavior seemed a bit disrespectful, Jiang Huai didn't find it offensive.

Perhaps it was because he didn’t see any calculations, flattery, and endless expectations in the other person’s eyes!

"Uncle, the emperor asked you to study for your own good. You can't stay ignorant of words forever. Besides, there is no harm in learning and writing well."

When Jiang Huai said the last sentence, Jiang Tuan looked at him steadily and asked.

"Did your father show you what I wrote?"

"My father didn't ask me to see it. I saw it accidentally."

"Hey, be careful!

You can't blame me for this! If you want to blame someone, blame the pens here that don't work well."

"Yes, yes, it's all the pen's fault."

"Are you trying to mess with me?"

"Huai, I dare not."

"You still say you don't dare, but I saw you smile."

"Your Highness, how can you be so frivolous?"

When Jiang Tuan was chatting and laughing with Jiang Huai, they suddenly saw an old man with a white beard walking towards them angrily and started scolding them.

Before he could react, the old man saluted Jiang Huai and then started to talk a lot, which made him confused.

He was really confused, because what the old man said was full of nonsense and he couldn't understand a lot of it.

If you don't understand, you have to ask. Jiang Tuan secretly pulled Jiang Huai's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Jiang Huai, who is this person?"

Even if Jiang Huai did not have the status of a prince, wherever he stood, anyone would see him as an elegant young man from aristocratic family who was very polite.

Logically speaking, in this situation, he should not answer Jiang Tuan's question and should respect the old man who was speaking.

But he was afraid that Jiang Tuan didn't know who the old man was and said something he shouldn't say, so after thinking for a while, he whispered, "Uncle, this is Cheng Li, Doctor Cheng."

"Doctor? Does Daxia have doctors? Researchers?"

Knowing that Jiang Tuan didn't quite understand the official positions in the Great Xia Dynasty, Jiang Huai continued to explain: "In the Great Xia, learned people are called doctors. Doctor Cheng is knowledgeable and talented, and was specially invited by my father to teach me."

Oh, this old man is the prince's teacher! No wonder he is so eloquent.

Cheng Li was quoting from classics and admonishing the prince to pay attention to his status.

The prince, who was usually very well-behaved, was actually talking to someone he didn't know. This was a completely disrespectful act!

This time, Cheng Li became even angrier and spoke even more excitedly.

Jiang Tuan didn't quite understand what Cheng Li said, but after a long time, he roughly understood that the other party felt that Jiang Huai was not stable, which was very unsuitable for a prince.

When he first heard it, Jiang Tuan didn't think it was a big deal. After all, it was not a big deal for a teacher to say a few words to his students.

But the old man never stopped talking, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became. He was about to say that Jiang Huai was unfit to be the crown prince for what he did, and if he became the emperor of Daxia, the dynasty would be over.

Jiang Tuan didn't like what he heard. What did Jiang Huai do?

Just because he put his arm around his shoulder, he is no longer worthy of being the crown prince. How could it be so serious?

"Dr. Cheng, right? I don't like what you said."

Cheng Li was a great scholar. Not only were his family members full of learned people, but he himself was also a student of many great scholars.

He had already gained some fame during the chaos in the Central Plains. After the establishment of Daxia, he was invited by Jiang Qi to teach Jiang Huai.

It can be said that at this age, few people would interrupt Cheng Li when he is speaking, let alone dare to question him.

Now he is being treated by a young brat. Yes, in Cheng Li’s eyes, the fair and tender Jiang Tuan is a young brat. When he heard this, he immediately became angry.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard Jiang Tuan say, "Dr. Cheng, please wait a moment. I don't understand what you are saying. Isn't it useless for me to say anything?"

In that case, you might as well listen to me first.

First of all, you are the prince's teacher, and it is your duty to educate him.

But you can't be unreasonable!

What kind of evil things did the prince do that made him unworthy of being the prince? Just saying that he would bring ruin to Daxia?

Do you predict it, or are you just looking forward to that day?

And I am confused. Isn't the prince your student? Aren't you a very learned person? How can you say this about your student?

Do you think the prince is incompetent and won't be good no matter how you teach him, or do you think you are incompetent and can't train an excellent heir to the dynasty?"

When Jiang Tuan said this, he saw Cheng Li holding his chest with his hands, looking as if he couldn't bear the blow, and he quickly distanced himself from the responsibility.

"Hey, don't be like this! I didn't say anything, I just asked about something I didn't understand, please don't try to make trouble for me!

If I ask you, you are like this, which really makes me doubt whether you are just seeking fame and reputation. You are obviously not a good teacher, but you are suppressing the prince to cover up the truth.

In my opinion, the prince is a very good person. He is humble and polite, and asks questions when he doesn't understand something. He is a good student and a good prince now, and he will be a good emperor in the future.

If children like this are still considered bad, I don’t know what kind of children can be considered good children.

In other words, Dr. Cheng, are the students you teach just wooden students who just listen to whatever you say, never ask questions, and have no ideas of their own?

If that's the case, I feel really sorry for you."

Cheng Li has been respected all his life, and what he was most proud of was his knowledge. But now, a young boy keeps saying that he is not knowledgeable and has no ability. He is so angry that he almost vomits blood.

But he had to hold back from fainting, otherwise he would really become a fame-seeker in the eyes of the other party.

"uncle……."

Jiang Huai is a good student who respects his teachers. He knows that what the teacher says is meant to spur him on and prevent him from becoming proud and complacent.

But Cheng Li always said that he was not good in this or that, and would lecture him if he did something a little bit inappropriate, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Normally he would not show his discomfort, otherwise he would face more severe criticism, so he could only endure it silently in his heart.

However, today, when Jiang Tuan stood in front of him and tried hard to protect him, he was really moved.

This was the first time, other than his parents, that someone said he was a good child, and the first time that someone said he was a good prince and would be a good emperor in the future.

His father was too powerful, which put a lot of pressure on him as a son.

He was afraid that he would disappoint the expectations of his relatives, ministers and the people. He was even more afraid that the Great Xia that his father had worked so hard to build would be destroyed in his hands.

He has been working hard, always trembling with fear, hoping that he can do his best.

However, working hard every day and being disciplined every day will make him tired, and he also longs for others' affirmation and understanding.
