Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 388 You have a son like this
As soon as Tuoba Yan finished speaking, suddenly, deafening cheers and applause erupted from the front. It was not known what Aman had said to everyone.

In fact, Aman did not do anything special. After he distanced himself from Zhao Shaoqiang's corvee recruitment, he told the people that although the matter was not his idea, it was caused by him.

Aman promised everyone that when he returns to Chang'an, he will ask his father to reduce or reduce their taxes this year on behalf of the people who were forced into corvee labor.

Of course, this move was not Aman’s own idea.

Before leaving, Huan Xi had repeatedly warned him not to make his own decisions. How could Aman make a promise to the people with just a slap on the head?

In fact, this is the method Quan Yi taught him.

Quan Yi knew that Huan Xi would definitely agree to Aman's request.

After all, the treasury was only missing thousands of young men in taxes, but what it gained in return was the reputation of the Liang Crown Prince as being tolerant and caring for the people. Given the importance Huan Xi attached to Aman, he was certainly willing to make such an exchange.

As for the people who were forced to do corvée work by Zhao Shao during the busy farming season, after receiving Aman's promise, they were grateful, wiped away their previous unhappiness, and worshiped Aman one after another, calling him the virtuous prince.

Aman's face turned red. This wasn't stage fright, but excitement.

Aman was praised by the people today. Looking at Zhao Shao now, he no longer felt that he was as disgusting as before, so he sent him away with just a few words.

If you don’t believe it, just look at Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. The great chess master of the Han Dynasty couldn’t defeat you on the chessboard, so he smashed you to death with the chessboard.

Deng Tong, the favorite minister of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, is the best example. The chess sage of Han Dynasty was disgusted and refused to suck pustules for his father. However, Deng Tong showed off his ability to please Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. When the chess sage of Han Dynasty came to the throne, he once served under Emperor Wen Deng Tong, who was once the richest man in the world, actually lived on the streets and starved to death.

Now he has experienced this feeling. Although the scene was not as grand as his father's, Aman could feel that these people supported him from the bottom of their hearts.

Since Zhao Shao must continue to be used, according to Huan Xi's temperament, he will indeed do so. It can only be said that Quan Yi has served Huan Xi for many years, and he really knows his master's temperament.

After Zhao Shao left, Quan Yi, who had been silent all the time, finally opened his mouth while watching Aman's performance. He shook his head and said:
"If Mr. Liang were to deal with this matter, he would definitely reprimand Zhao Shao in public and then comfort him in private to appease Zhao Shao."

That is to say, Aman has been well-disciplined since he was a child, and the people around him, including Xie Daoyun, Wang Meng, Xie An, and Quan Yi, are all smart, so he does not have the arrogance of being the heir to the political power.

Even if Huan Xi encountered such a thing, he would not be able to demote Zhao Shao and remove him from office.

When he was at the city gate, being watched by so many pairs of eyes, not only did he not have stage fright, but his words and deeds were even like his father's demeanor, which made Quan Yi very satisfied.

No one dares to offend the future heir of a regime unless he is screwed.

Quan Yi just mentioned that at Aman's age, it is already very good to be able to perform like this.

Aman nodded thoughtfully, obviously listening to Quan Yi's words.

Everything that happened today made Aman immersed in joy. Even though they had already left and moved into the house arranged by Zhao Shao, Aman had not yet come out of the excitement.

Although Zhao Shao was humiliated in public, he did not dare to show the slightest resentment. Instead, his attitude became more submissive.

In fact, the mistakes Zhao Shao made were not unforgivable, he just wanted to make progress too much.

Once upon a time, he watched his father swear an oath to go to war, and received a response like a roaring tsunami from the soldiers. Aman was envious of this.

After all, in Quan Yi's view, as long as Aman can learn from his father's ability to deal with people, it will be a blessing to the Liang Kingdom.

Modern people pay attention to being themselves and not imitating others, but the ancients respected Father Xiao.

Aman deliberately imitates his father in every aspect, which is what Wang Meng, Quan Yi and others like to see. While the two were talking, the kitchen brought dinner. Just as they were about to eat, Zhao Shao left and returned.

"The Crown Prince, Quan Zhongshu, I have received news that Princess Zuoxian has moved into the county residence. I wonder if the Crown Prince needs to go and visit her."

Zhao Shao expressed his intention directly.

Aman looked at Quan Yi, asking for his opinion.

Quan Yi muttered:
"The prince is young now. Whether he sees you or not, it all depends on the prince's will. But if he is a few years older, the prince should avoid suspicion."

Aman understood Quan Yi's reminder, and Quan Yi asked him to keep a distance from his father's side chambers and not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"My husband and I have come a long way, and we are tired from the journey. We really don't want to visit. Besides, I still have official duties, and the princess is wearing mourning. It would be better not to see each other."

Zhao Shao agreed upon hearing this and immediately left, but as soon as he turned around, Aman called out to him:
"Wait a minute!"

Zhao Shao turned around, cupped his hands and said:

"I wonder what the prince's instructions are."

Aman smiled and said:

"Prefect Zhao is busy today. He is really working hard. He must not have time to eat. Why don't I ask the chef to add another meal? Prefect Zhao will have dinner before going back?"

Zhao Shao was dumbfounded. It was true that Aman had changed so much. If he scolded him in front of others and made him lose face, it was just to show off to the ignorant people, but after entering the house, Aman had always been I don't have a good face towards him.

Now he actually took the initiative to invite him to have dinner with him.

No matter how puzzled Zhao Shao was, how could he ignore Aman's kindness? He hurriedly agreed.

Aman said with emotion:

"I know that what the prefect did was all for my own good, and he wanted to save me from the bumps when I came here. This is a commendable act of loyalty.

"But Governor Zhao did something bad today out of good intentions, and he almost made me angry with the people of Xinping."

After hearing what Aman said, Zhao Shao quickly apologized:
"It's all because of the poor thinking of the humble minister, and he still asks the prince to punish him."

Aman smiled and said:

"The matter is over. There is no need for Zhao Taishou to be so nervous. If you are right, one crime will not be punished twice. I have reprimanded you in public. Naturally, I will not continue to pursue it. I only hope that Zhao Taishou can govern Xinping with heart in the future and benefit the people of this area."

Zhao Shao breathed a long sigh of relief, secretly happy in his heart, and he agreed immediately.

At this time, Quan Yi, who was watching this admiration with great interest, couldn't help stroking his beard and secretly thought: Children can be taught.

After Zhao Shao had dinner, he asked Aman and Quan Yi to leave. In fact, he was not full. When dining with people of this status, he must always pay attention to his appearance. How can he eat recklessly.

After walking out of the mansion, Zhao Shao felt relaxed. He came back and looked at the dark mansion, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Zhao Shao sighed softly:
"Liang Gong has a son like this, which shows that the destiny lies with the Huan family."
