Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Leng Youran stared at him with a look of disbelief.

Li Tianze's mouth twitched when he saw this.

He quickly hid the emotion in his eyes, held her soft hand, and said with a smile: "It's really nothing."

Afraid she would continue to ask, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Oh, I just thought about it. We have always been thinking about conquering the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but we never considered that we don't even have a prince in the capital who can be promoted to the throne. Do you have other plans in mind?"

Xihu is different from Eastern Jin.

Even though Beicheng and Dongjin are now separated, it is still very close to Dongjin.

According to her personality, she may not care about the situation in Xihu, but she will definitely plan things in Dongjin early on.

Given her trouble-averse nature, she would never return the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Zhao Mingyao.

Otherwise, their Beicheng would have friction with the Eastern Jin Dynasty every year.

She would never do such a thankless task.

However, along the way, they never heard her talk about what would happen after getting rid of Chu Weian. If she had not already made plans, when he mentioned that there was a ninth prince in Xihu, she would have asked him who else could be used in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The fact that she never said anything only meant that she had already planned it.

Leng Youran nodded. She definitely had a plan.

As Li Tianze thought, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Xihu were different. It was impossible for her to spend her energy to get rid of Chu Weian and leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Zhao Mingyao.

"Yes, Chong'er."

"Chong'er?" Li Tianze never thought that Leng Youran would leave this position for Zhao Chongqing.

Not to mention that Zhao Chongqing is still young, he has never received an imperial education...

He was afraid that he might not be able to handle the position by then.

Leng Youran saw the worry in his eyes and smiled, "I know what you're worried about. Actually, I didn't want to do this before, but before I left, I talked to Master. Master gave Chong'er a fortune, and it showed that he would survive after being in a desperate situation."

He also told her that Chong'er's dilemma was over, and as long as he was guided well now, he would definitely be a wise ruler.

So not long after they set off, Leng Youran sent a letter to Hua Zian, asking him to take Chong'er back to Liaodong, and also asked him to secretly find someone to teach him some political tactics as an emperor.

Of course, this matter has always been carried out in secret, and no one else would know about it except Hua Zian.

If Hua Zian had kept it a secret well, perhaps Zhao Chongqing himself would not have discovered it.

Just as she expected.

Hua Zi'an, who was far away in Liaodong, had been secretly looking for someone who could teach Zhao Chongqing.

After much thought, he could only think of two candidates, one was You Xian and the other was Old Man Leng.

You Xian is naturally transcendent, and what he knows is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not to mention Old Master Leng, who, together with the old emperor and Duke Li, governed the country very well.

When he was young, he heard a lot about them from his parents and grandparents.

With the guidance of these two people, Zhao Chongqing will definitely not deviate.

"Chong'er, have you taken note of everything we two old guys have told you these days?" It was time for the two of them to check homework every day.

You Xian and the old man sat at the top seats, and Zhao Chongqing stood upright in the center of the hall.

When asked about his homework, he immediately changed his demeanor, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions, being superficially foolish but secretly clever, willing to share profits, knowing how to balance checks and balances, using authority first and then kindness..."

The two listened to his every word and nodded with satisfaction.

You Xian: "Then do you know what these words mean?"

Zhao Chongqing nodded, "Old Master, Old Heavenly Master, I understand all of this, but I don't know why I want to learn this."

The two looked at each other.

You Xian nodded slightly at Old Man Leng.

Old Master Leng understood. "Chong'er, you're not a child anymore. It's time for you to know some things. We don't need to tell you much about your life story, but have you ever thought about your future path? Do you plan to be a mediocre businessman with Zi'an and the others for the rest of your life, or do you want to take a different path?"

Zhao Chongqing fell silent after hearing what he said. He had been in a daze all these years. When he was in Beicheng, he didn't have to worry about anything. After he came out, he made all the clear arrangements for him and Hua Zian.

When no one is around, he often wonders what he should do next to demonstrate his own value.

Unfortunately, he thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that he was silent, the two waved to him.

Zhao Chongqing walked over and sat down closer to the two of them.

Old Master Leng then continued, "If you can't figure it out, how about I show you a way?"

They had discussed privately that no matter what Leng Youran and the others planned or what Zhao Chongqing's fate was, everything would depend on his own wishes.

The throne seems supreme, but it is also a burden.

Zhao Chongqing now has no one to rely on except them.

Moreover, even if he ascends the throne in the future, they will only be the force standing behind him.

He has to wade into the muddy waters of the capital himself.

Zhao Chongqing was delighted. He hadn't expected the old man to have thought of a way out for him. He stared at him with his bright eyes and asked, "What is it?"

The old man didn't say anything, but pointed to the sky.

Zhao Chongqing asked with a puzzled look, "Go to heaven?"

Old Master Leng and You Xian were amused by his words and shook their heads with a smile.

You Xian: "I'm not asking you to ascend to heaven, but to become a superior person like your father. What do you think?"

When Zhao Chongqing heard this, he jumped up from the stool, shaking his hands in front of his chest, "No, no, no, old man, old Taoist priest, this won't do. I, I..." I couldn't make any sense after a long time.

Want to ask him if he has felt hatred over the years?

He naturally hated it.

Even though he didn't want to think about his childhood memories, the scenes of his family being wiped out would always appear in his mind.

He had imagined countless times in his mind how he would one day ascend to a high position and trample underfoot the people who had murdered his family.

There were also many times when he had the idea of ​​using the Leng and Li families to take revenge.

only......

The environment in North City was so good that he unconsciously put all these thoughts behind him.

He found that a simple life is also a kind of happiness.

There is no need to worry about being assassinated, and there is no need to worry that your future children will kill each other for power.

"Come, kid, come to me." Seeing that he kept his head down, You Xian stretched out his hand.

Zhao Chongqing stepped forward and shook hands with You Xian's slightly rough hand.

You Xian patted the back of his hand lovingly. "Good boy, we all know your worries. I'm telling you these words today to let you know that your Aunt Leng and your Uncle Li are already planning for you. Of course, this matter still depends on you. We two old men have taught you everything we should teach you these days. To be honest, we are very satisfied. If you think you will become a qualified emperor, as long as you remember our words, your achievements in the future will not be lower than your grandfather. But all this is just the plan of your Aunt Leng and me. Everything still needs to be decided by you."
