I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 516 The Son Is Not Like the Father
In a blink of an eye, another year passed, and at the beginning of the third year of Xingping, Liu Jian returned to Yecheng to meet his family.

This time Liu Jian was outside for too long. He didn't return to Yecheng for almost two years, and his family members looked forward to him.

Liu Jian decided that this time he would stay in Yecheng for a while, to accompany his parents, wife and children.

After Liu Zhou met Liu Jian, he was so relieved that he had to take his son to drink a few wines that night.

When Hu saw her son, she even cried several times.

Zheng Ci, Bian Yu'er, Du Yan and Cai Mi were all overjoyed to see their husband.

In addition, several of Liu Jian's children have grown up now.

Liu Jian's eldest son, Liu Ji, will soon be eight years old.

Compared with Liu Yu, who is active and playful, Liu Ji is more quiet. Zheng Ci asked Jiang Ji, a famous scholar, to teach Liu Ji his basic knowledge, and Liu Ji's memory is very good. It works, and the work is very stable and solid.

Compared with Liu Jian, who was lively and active since he was a child, and has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, Liu Ji is actually not very similar to him. He has more personality than Zheng Ci.

Regarding this matter, Zheng Ci seems to be a little worried...

……

……

After drinking some wine with his father Liu Zhou at night, Liu Jian returned to Zheng Ci's room.

The husband and wife hadn't seen each other for a long time, and after washing up, they lay on the couch together and talked to each other.

The two of them chatted for a long time, from what Liu Jian saw and heard in the past two years from Sili to Bingzhou, then to Hetao, and then to Youzhou Port, to the prosperity of Yecheng today...

Liu Jian and Zheng Ci have the same heart, no matter what kind of content they are talking about, whether it is a topic that the other party is interested in or not, they will listen carefully to each other's words...

Of course, if you have to compete with one another, Zheng Ci's courteousness to Liu Jian is still much more than Liu Jian's courteousness to Zheng Ci.

"Madam, how are the children these days?"

Liu Jian brought the topic to the child, and Zheng Ci's face suddenly darkened.

"The children are all very well, especially Yuer, whose body is getting stronger and stronger, with a lively and active nature, quick thinking, and a heroic spirit, quite like his father."

Liu Jian saw the change in Zheng Ci's expression, he sat up from the bed, stretched out his hand to protect Zheng Ci, and asked, "Madam seems to have something on her mind?"

Zheng Ci smiled and said: "How can my husband know that I have something on my mind?"

"You and I have known each other for nearly ten years. If I can't even see this, am I in vain as a husband? What's wrong? But what's wrong with the family?"

Zheng Ci leaned in Liu Jian's arms, and after a long silence, Fang said: "Everything is fine at home, the younger sisters are very virtuous, and there is nothing to worry about."

"That's about Ji'er."

Zheng Ci's expression didn't change much, but her body trembled slightly.

Liu Jian caught it very keenly.

"Sure enough, in Hebei now, Ji'er is the only person who can make you frown and worry in your heart..."

Liu Jian said with emotion.

Mother hands line, wandering clothing.

It is human nature for a virtuous woman like Zheng Ci to care about her son and take care of everything that happens to her son.

However, when Liu Jian came back this time, Liu Ji was happy to study, knowledgeable and sensible, very sensible at a young age, and extremely respectful to his parents. Logically speaking, this child should not make Zheng Ci have anything to worry about, right?

Whose parents, if they can give birth to such a child, it's too late to be happy!
"Ma'am, what's wrong with Ji'er?" Liu Jian asked Zheng Ci patiently.

Zheng Ci seemed a little hesitant, hemming and hawing.

"Madam, I don't understand. Although Ji'er is only seven years old, he is honest and honest. He is good at reading and has a generous personality. He is very similar to you, Madam. What is there to worry about for such a child?"

Zheng Ci sighed lightly, and said: "Ji'er, this child is benevolent, sensible, intelligent and kind...but, but..."

"But, he looks too much like me."

Liu Jian frowned upon hearing this.

"Isn't it a good thing to be like your wife?"

Zheng Ci blinked, and there seemed to be uneasiness on her delicate face: "Husband, don't you want Xianghai to be like a father?"

Liu Jian was taken aback when he heard this.

Then I saw him laughing.

"Madam was originally worried about this. Don't worry, I am neither Gaozu nor Xiaowu. It is not a big problem for me if my son is not like my father! On the contrary, if he is too much like me, it is not a good thing. I think I like Mrs. Ji'er's personality the most!"

After Zheng Ci heard this, the uneasiness on his face seemed to subside a little.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"Since you and I have been married, when have I lied to you?"

A happy smile appeared on Zheng Ci's face, she stretched out her jade arms, and hugged Liu Jian tightly...

Not long after, Zheng Ci fell asleep in Liu Jian's arms.

But Liu Jian didn't sleep. He stared at the beams on the bed with wide eyes, and began to fall into deep thought.

He is a person who traveled through later generations. To him, it is not a big deal that a son is not like a father. A child is more like a mother. He doesn't think it is a bad thing...

But he could understand Zheng Ci's mood.

The son is not like the father, and does not please the father, not to mention other dynasties, just the great ancestor Liu Bang and Han Wu Liu Che of the Han Dynasty...

Liu Ying, the son of Liu Bang, is benevolent and weak. Liu Bang thinks he is not like himself, but Liu Ruyi, the son of Mrs. Qi, is deeply loved by Liu Bang, and Liu Ruyi is like Liu Bang. Liu Bang thinks he is like himself, so he often wants to change the prince.

Liu Ju, who is "benevolent, forgiving and gentle", repeatedly admonishes Liu Che for his military aggression. Liu Che thinks that Liu Ju is not like him, and his father and son are also separated.

Zheng Ci was born in a scholarly family, a famous scholar's family, different from ordinary women, and his proficiency in ancient and modern affairs is naturally far better than ordinary women.

Liu Ji is his eldest son, and his career is getting bigger and bigger, and he can be said to be the overlord of one party.

However, he also somewhat discovered that Liu Ji is indeed more like Zheng Ci, he likes to be quiet, he likes to write, and he is very polite.

I can't say there's anything wrong with it, it's just that if you conquer all directions by yourself, even if you can pacify the world and leave Liu Ji a prosperous world full of heroes and generals, with his honest and righteous personality... he may be able to suppress this A group of veterans?
Liu Jian was planning in his heart...it really wouldn't work, and when Liu Ji grew up a little, he would be brought by his side and taught him by himself...

However, after all, I am not a subject teacher. As a parent, it seems inappropriate to teach my children in person and take the role of teacher instead.

Moreover, I have not fully figured out what kind of character Liu Ji is, but only looked at the surface.

On the second day, after Liu Jian got up, he summoned Liu Ji's current teacher, Mr. Meng Xue, to him.

The scholar who taught Liu Jimeng was Zheng Xuan's disciple Jiang Ji from Donglai Huang County.

In terms of seniority, Liu Jian had to call him senior brother.

This person is over 40 years old and has been with Zheng Xuan for many years. It can be said that he is knowledgeable about the past and the present. Asking him to teach Liu Ji is somewhat inferior to the truth, but Jiang Ji seems quite willing.

"Brother Jiang, I don't know how Ji'er's schoolwork is on weekdays?"

Jiang Ji said very seriously: "The classwork is excellent, and you can understand it as soon as you teach it. I want to make him read "Zuoshi Chunqiu" this year."

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Who does Ji'er play with on weekdays?"

Jiang Ji smiled and said: "Liu Kuo, the eldest son of General Hussars, Guan Ping, the son of the former General, Zhang Bao, the son of General Zuo, Tian Rong, the youngest son of Shang Shu Ling, Shen Zhi, the youngest son of Shang Shu Pu She...all of them are my playmates."

"So, I know that Liu Kuo, Guan Ping, and Zhang Bao are the heirs of Yunchang and Yide, but Tian Feng and Shenpei's heirs are almost adults. Can they play with these three? ?”

Jiang Jiyan said: "The general misunderstood. Tian Rong and Shenzhi were both born of concubines. They are not Tian. The two families of Shen are not from the same family, but after all they are high-ranking families. Therefore, it is okay for the young master to be friends. The five of them are all reading with the young master."

Liu Jian nodded suddenly: "So that's the case, how are these little ones on good terms?"

"Lovely."

"So, I understand now... these little ones, please ask senior brother to instruct them to do something for me today."

"How dare you disrespect the general's instructions."

……

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Ji, Liu Kuo, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Tian Rong, and Shen Li came to see Jiang Ji's class as usual.

In the past, the class lasted about two hours, but today, Jiang Ji ended the class in half an hour.

The little ones were very happy, and they were about to leave with their books in their arms.

Jiang Ji coughed, and then tapped the table lightly with the cane.

The six children immediately stopped their hands and feet, waiting for the teacher to order.

"Today's class is over early, not for other reasons, but because there is something for you to do on behalf of the teacher."

These are all children. They usually have nothing else to do except play crazy and learn lessons. Now that the teacher suddenly arranges things, they are full of novelty.

Liu Ji saluted Jiang Ji and said, "Please also ask the famous words of the master, the disciples will surely share the worries of the teacher."

Jiang Ji stroked his beard and said: "The day before yesterday, King Chenliu came here and invited me to go to the palace of the great king to give a lecture on "Zuo Zhuan". Apologizing for the teacher going to the Great King's Palace, is it possible to do this?"

These children are still young and don't know the true meaning of King Chen Liu's stay in Ye City.

In the eyes of these children, King Chenliu, as a vassal king, can be said to be one of the most noble existences in Yecheng, and they only know that there is such a number one person living in the palace near Zhangshui in Yecheng , but never had the chance to meet.

Now that they can see the real face of this legendary young prince, they are very excited.

Seeing that Zhang Bao didn't say anything, he directly agreed.

"Teacher, don't worry, just wait and see what we do! We'll go right away!"

Liu Ji seemed to be hesitant. He cupped his hands and said, "I heard that King Chenliu is the brother of today's son, the son of the late emperor. He is extremely honorable. We are all young men, and we have no meritorious titles. We will go on behalf of the teacher. Your Majesty is responsible..."

Jiang Ji said: "You are also the son of a great general, why are you acting so condescending? Are you going or not? It's the same if you don't go for the master and let others go..."

"Don't! Don't!"

Tian Rong hurriedly stopped Liu Ji, and winked hard at him.

"Teacher, let's go! Let us go!"

"Okay, this is what you are going to go on your own. The gift has been prepared for the teacher. It is on the carriage outside the door. The carriage is also prepared for you. When you get on the carriage, the carriage driver will naturally lead you to the palace to pay homage to the king. !"
