Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 35
Wei Chongrong was bored in the house doing his homework, and the more he wrote, the more irritable he became. If it wasn’t for Wei Zhao’s disappointment, he really didn’t want to write a word. Reading was really a headache.
Wei Chongrong feels good about himself and thinks that he is already studying hard, but Wei Zhao is not satisfied with his performance.
Because the husband said that the little prince has a flexible mind and learns things very fast. It is not too much to say that he never forgets, but he just doesn’t care. Heart.
If he continued to study in this way, he would memorize the classics of various schools in his heart and memorize them, and it would be no different from not learning.
After hearing what Mr. Wei said, Wei Zhao fell into deep thought, and he found that he could not understand his son’s thoughts.
It is true that Wei Zhao did not like to read when he was a child, but because of his playfulness, he tried to skip classes when he had the chance, and asked Gu Yu to do his homework for him. Unlike Wei Chongrong, he seemed to be serious in listening to the class and never perfunctory in his homework. Is not willing to spend a little thought.
If he really doesn’t like reading, shouldn’t he make trouble with him? Just like when he was at Wei Chongrong’s age, he refused to go to the palace to study, and it was Wei Ming who coaxed and deceived him.
On the desk in front of Wei Zhao, Wei Chongrong’s homework written in recent days was spread out. Seeing his son’s tender but serious handwriting, Wei Zhao’s brows became tighter and tighter.
“Dad, your medicine is here.” Soon, Wei Zhao’s thoughts were interrupted by the clear child’s voice behind him. Wei Chongrong followed the green clothes carrying the tray into Wei Zhao’s study.
Wei Zhao motioned to Luyi to put the medicine bowl on the table, and he would drink it later. Green-clothed nodded, put down the medicine bowl and retired.
Wei Zhao was not in a hurry to drink the medicine, but instead pulled Wei Chongrong to his side and asked, “Have you written your homework? Are you free to run around?”
Wei Chongrong nodded and said proudly, “I’ve written it all, does Daddy want to check it?” It was because Wei Zhao wanted to see it that he wrote it so seriously.
Wei Zhao was noncommittal and asked again, “Do you understand what Mr. said?” Facing such a son, he felt a little powerless.
Wei Chongrong nodded again and affirmed: “Understood, if you don’t believe me, you can ask.” No matter how little he read in his previous life, he wouldn’t even have to recite the contents of enlightenment for children to memorize it.
Wei Zhao didn’t ask any questions, just stared at his son for a moment. Wei Chongrong was trembling when he saw it, he reached out and touched the medicine bowl on the table, and then changed the topic: “Dad, the medicine is getting cold, you should drink it.”
After moving out of the palace, Wei Zhao didn’t take medicine for a while, but after seeing Mr. Duanmu, he returned to the original daily soup and medicine. Wei Chongrong was afraid that he would become impatient, so he came to supervise from time to time, lest Wei Zhao was in a bad mood and poured the medicine.
Wei Chongrong asked several times, but Wei Zhao always took the words to him with a haha, and never told him about his physical condition. Wei Chongrong was helpless, so he had to observe carefully in secret. Fortunately, Wei Zhao’s face looked a lot better than the previous days, which made people feel a little more at ease.
Wei Zhao glanced at Wei Chongrong, took the medicine bowl and drank it, and then asked him, “Rong’er, do you think that Mr.’s lectures are boring, so you don’t like to listen?” It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it, there must be a reason. .
Wei Chongrong pursed his lips, but did not speak for a while. Indeed, he has always felt that reading is boring, but this is not the problem of his husband, but the time he has been exposed to the culture of the Central Plains, which is really a bit late and lacks a sense of identity.
There is no written language in Fuyu so far. Wei Chongrong in his previous life lived in Fuyu for ten years. When he first arrived in Yujing, he did not speak and read. He could not speak Chinese at all. It was difficult to communicate with people. joke.
Learning to speak is relatively simple, and everyone around him speaks Chinese. Wei Chongrong has listened a lot, and slowly he will speak it. Although his tone is a little weird, he has been laughed at by Wei Yang.
Learning to read would be troublesome. Wei Su didn’t want to see Wei Chongrong, how would he remember to arrange for him to study? If he hadn’t been listening to Wei Yang and Junhua at Gong Xue for two years, he might have been illiterate all the time. possible.
Wei Chongrong has never learned a hundred classics, and he doesn’t think that what he has learned will come in handy. Learning the arts of literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor’s family, others reading and practicing martial arts, are all rushing to the future, but he, what use can he learn.
The Wei family does not prohibit princes and grandsons from entering the dynasty, provided that you have sufficient talent and loyalty. Whether it is civil or military, talented or not is an excellent judgment, but for loyalty, only the one sitting on the dragon chair has the final say.
Wei Chongrong is Helianzhuo’s son, and Helianzhuo, he is the monarch of Fuyu, whether Wei Zhao admits it or not, this label is attached to Wei Chongrong and cannot be torn off.
Whether it is Wei Su now, or Wei Ming and Wei Xuan in the future, Wei Chongrong doesn’t think that they will give him the opportunity to show his grand plans. In Wei Zhao’s face, it is very kind to protect his life and prosperity. . Besides, he does not have the same ambitions as Wei Zhao. As long as Wei Zhao is healthy and has a smooth life, he has no expectations for his future career.
With this kind of thought, Wei Chongrong can only read with his heart. What is the use?”
Wei Zhao didn’t expect his son to ask such a question, so he was a little stunned, and then asked with a smile, “Rong’er, do you know? I’ve asked the emperor this question before…”
“Oh?” Wei Chongrong responded in surprise, and then asked, “How did my uncle tell you?” It turned out that he wasn’t the only one who didn’t like reading.
Wei Zhao smiled but didn’t answer. Seeing Wei Chongrong’s face puffed up unhappily, he picked him up and said, “Daddy will take you to Bowang Garden, wouldn’t it be better for you to ask your uncle in person?”
Wei Chongrong thought for a while, then tilted his head and asked, “Will the third brother be in Bowang Garden? If he is, I won’t go.”
Wei Zhao smiled and shook his head: “Mao’er is studying at the Gong Xue, and there’s no time to spare.” Seeing Wei Chongrong’s happy face, he teased him again: “Rong’er doesn’t like Mao’er? Or are you afraid of him?”
“I don’t like him, but I’m not afraid of him.” Wei Chongrong buried his head on Wei Zhao’s shoulder and whispered, “Third brother doesn’t like me and daddy, if he speaks ill of daddy, I will endure it. I can’t stop wanting to hit him, but my uncle is very good to us, and my elder brother and sister are also very good. If I beat the third brother, my father will be very embarrassed in front of my uncle, so it’s better for me not to see the third brother.”
Wei Zhao was stunned when he heard the words, and remained silent for a while. He and Wei Ming are close and close, but there is no way to guarantee that their son also has the same deep friendship.
The next day, Wei Zhao took Wei Chongrong to Bowang Garden in the south of the city. Sure enough, Wei Xuan and others were not there. Wei Ming saw that Wei Chongrong liked him very much. He hugged him and didn’t let go. He praised him for being smart and cute, much stronger than Wei Mao.
The first time he saw the legendary Bowang Garden, Wei Chongrong sincerely sighed that his grandfather’s love for his uncle was far more than what people saw.
Not to mention, just giving his son Xiubo Wangyuan the attitude of letting him make friends with famous people in the world at will, is not something that ordinary emperors can have, what kind of trust this is.
There are many senior people in Bowang Garden, from various schools, and the discussion is very lively. Wei Chongrong listened to it for a while, and felt that it was much more interesting than Mr.
Wei Zhao took the opportunity to complain to his brother that his son didn’t like to read. Wei Ming knocked on his forehead and said that he didn’t like to read either.
Wei Zhao refused to admit it, saying that he was obviously very hardworking and serious. Wei Ming smiled but didn’t say a word. Besides practicing martial arts, when did Wei Zhao work hard and seriously, but when Wei Chongrong was present, he didn’t say much, so as not to lose Wei Zhao’s face.
Seeing Wei Chongrong resting his chin on his hands and listening carefully to the strategies for governing the country that he should not understand, Wei Ming suggested: “Azhao, let Ronger enter the palace to study after the new year, Maoer and the others are all there. , he might be interested in a few more friends.”
Wei Zhao nodded and said that he had thought about it, but he was afraid that Wei Su would not agree. Wei Ming said that he would arrange it, and Wei Zhao was worried that Wei Su would be unhappy when he saw Wei Chongrong.
Wei Ming said sternly: “Azhao, in my opinion, Rong’er’s character is very much to the father’s appetite. You should let them have more contact with them. If they don’t meet each other, the father and the emperor are more prejudiced towards Rong’er.”
Wei Zhao frowned and pondered for a moment, before saying uncertainly, “Brother Huang, are you sure that the emperor will not be more disgusted when he sees Rong’er?” The half of Fuyu bloodline, in Wei Su’s view, is simply Wei Chongrong’s original sin.
Wei Ming replied without hesitation: “In any case, Rong’er is always the grandson of the father and emperor. If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t want to see him. What else can he do to him, in short, it will not be worse than now.”
Wei Zhao nodded silently when he heard the words, and after a long time, he spoke again: “My father is about to go to the forest and ask me to accompany him, but I haven’t decided whether to take Rong’er with me.”
Hearing Wei Zhao say this, Wei Ming said without hesitation: “Naturally, I will bring it, so why should I hesitate.” The emperor was old, and he disliked the constraints of the palace more and more. All political affairs in the DPRK and China are decided by the prince.
For Wei Ming, it is a good thing for the crown prince to supervise the country, but the emperor does not take the empress or the grandson of the East Palace on his tour. He has to deal with the affairs of the state, and it is even more impossible to move forward. The communication between father and son can only be through letters. Since seeing each other every day in the palace, in the end they are far apart.
A few years ago, Concubine Yun favored the six palaces. Wherever the emperor went, she and the fifth prince Wei Shi went with him. The Ji family was in decline, and Li Wei was prominent. It was not that there were no rumors in the court and the public. Now, Li Yao died in battle, Concubine Yun died of illness, Wei Shi was in front of the emperor, and he was no longer favored before, but by Wei Su, there were younger Zhao Ji, Yan Congshi and others. Although Wei Ming is not worried, they will threaten the position of the empress, but it is not a good thing that there is no one close to him by the emperor’s side.
Besides Wei Zhao, he has been back in Beijing for half a year. He first stayed in the palace. After the palace was opened, he would not be able to go out. He had no errands on his body. It was inevitable to speculate whether the fourth prince, who had been captured for many years, had already Lost the Sacred Heart.
Wei Su was lucky to have Wei Zhao to accompany him on this trip, which was absolutely a good thing for the East Palace and the Qin Palace. As for Wei Chongrong, he is Wei Zhao’s son in the end. Since the emperor let him on the jade plate, he admitted his identity, and it couldn’t be worse.
Wei Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Brother Huang is right, I think too much.”
“Dad, what are you thinking?” Wei Chongrong listened to the debates of the scholars for a while, but he seemed to understand, so he stopped listening. He wanted to ask Wei Ming, just in time for the second half of Wei Zhao’s words.
Wei Zhao picked up Wei Chongrong, who was coming towards him, and said with a smile, “Your imperial grandfather will go to Shanglin Garden in a few days for a visit, and he has called daddy to accompany him. “His son is so cute, the royal father sees it for no reason and doesn’t like it.
Unexpectedly, when Wei Chongrong heard the words “Shanglinyuan”, his face changed, his face turned blue and white, and he seemed to be frightened. He was still wriggling in Wei Zhao’s arms, holding him tighter. some.
Wei Zhao didn’t understand what he meant and asked, “Rong’er, what’s the matter with you? Don’t you want to play with Daddy?” This didn’t fit his son’s character.
Wei Ming also saw what was wrong with Wei Chongrong, held his fat paws and comforted: “Is Rong’er afraid that the imperial grandfather doesn’t like you? Don’t worry, with your father here, nothing will happen.”
In fact, Wei Chongrong just thought that the palace is located in Shanglinyuan, and he was a little lost for a while, but he was not afraid. At this time, he woke up and asked quickly, “Dad, can you hunt when you arrive at Shanglin Garden?”
Before Wei Zhao could answer, Wei Ming exclaimed, “Rong’er likes hunting?”
Wei Chongrong nodded again and again: “I like it, I even hunted my own prey.”
“It’s so good.” Wei Ming smiled with satisfaction, and turned to Wei Zhao: “My father always likes his son and grandson Shangwu, and Rong’er can shoot and hunt at a young age. He must be happy when he sees it.”
When someone praised his son, Wei Zhao was proud in his heart, but he said: “Brother Huang, don’t listen to Rong’er’s bragging, those pheasants and hares were all brought to him by the guards, otherwise you thought he could hit him. , Besides, it’s winter, who would go hunting.”
Wei Ming didn’t care, and still praised: “It’s great to have guards to help. Rong’er is not yet five years old, so don’t be too strict with him. My two younger ones are still unable to draw the bow. The hunting in the spring next year will probably be laughed at by Rong’er.”
Wei Chongrong’s mouth was flat and he didn’t speak. He wouldn’t laugh at Wei Lan and Wei Mao. As long as they didn’t come to provoke him, he would be thankful.
After talking about fortune-telling and hunting, Wei Ming asked Wei Chongrong: “Rong’er, I heard Ah Zhao say, what’s the use of asking him to read, is there such a thing?”
Wei Chongrong did not deny it, but instead asked: “Uncle, Daddy told me that he also asked you this question, but he refused to tell me what you said to him.”
Wei Ming took Wei Chongrong from Wei Zhao and asked with a smile, “It doesn’t matter what uncle told daddy. Uncle asks you first, what do you want to do when you grow up?”
Wei Chongrong was stunned, what was he going to do, as if he didn’t want to do anything. If he insisted on saying it, he wanted to prevent the scourge of witchcraft from happening, but could this be said to Wei Ming, obviously not.
“Don’t Rong’er know?” Wei Ming was not surprised by Wei Chongrong’s reaction, and continued: “Your father told me that he wants to be a hero like Zhaoyang Hou.”
I see…
Taking King’s Landing as the goal of life is like what Wei Zhao would do, and he did.
But he didn’t want to be King’s Landing, nor did he want to be Wei Zhao, fighting for Dayan or something was unattractive to him, and Wei Chongrong didn’t even think he was Dayan.
Wei Ming saw that Wei Chongrong didn’t speak, and continued: “It doesn’t matter if you think about it, Rong’er can think about it slowly, it’s not too late to do it after you think about it. But no matter what you want to do, reading is useful, wait until you think about it. Well, it’s not too late to read again, it’s okay to think while reading.”
Cast a wide net, catch more fish, and follow the best. In Wei Chongrong’s mind, the words Jun Hua said suddenly popped up. Since he doesn’t know what to do, he has learned everything well. He won’t overwhelm his skills. Maybe one day he will have something he wants to do. It is.
