Chapter 250 - I'm Not a Teacher
The days of waiting were undoubtedly long. Tang Yue waited from sunrise to sunset every day, from sunset to sunrise, anxiously waiting for news to come.
“young master, this is the latest invitation. It's from the Marquis's Mansion of Grace. I would like to invite you to see the clinic.” The butler placed a letter in front of Tang Yue.
Tang Yue looked up. There was a circle of black in his eyes and his face was sallow. He looked haggard. He did not look like a young man in his prime.
The butler looked at him and comforted him, “young master, since there is no news, it is good news. If ordinary people have children in the army, they hope that they do not receive the news. You need to relax.”
Tang Yue nodded and did not say anything. He continued to write the unfinished documents in his hands.
“How about this post, this old servant will reply. You need to rest the most now.”
“No, put it down. Let him come in the afternoon. Marquis Mu En is a good person. Although his son is not suitable, he still owes him a favor previously. It's just nice to return it.”
“Then you should rest first. This old servant asks the kitchen to bring you some hot soup.”
Tang Yue did not refuse. He knew that his current body was a little overburdened. He had to be busy during the day for more than six hours. He also needed to spend four hours with Little Luoyuan. Not only did he have a short sleep time, but he also could not sleep well.
“Send someone to keep watch outside the city. Report to me as soon as you hear anything. State Duke Heng has been gone for two months. Counting the time, there will be news soon.”
Winter passed and spring came. Spring and summer alternated. It was another late autumn now. It seemed like winter was about to arrive. He had separated from Crown Prince Zhao for almost a year.
“Don't worry. People are guarding there all year round. Have you forgotten? Shan was old. ” You asked him to retire and retire. He took on this job when he had nothing to do. He basked in the sun at the city gate and chatted with the guards. He's living a comfortable life. “
“Oh my… I haven't seen him for some time, how is his health?” Tang Yue remembered that last spring, Shan fainted once and found that there was something wrong with his heart. Since then, he did not let Shan serve him and let him enjoy his old age.
Although there was no retirement system now and people could only rely on their sons when they were old, that was why they had the thought of protecting their children from old age. However, Tang Yue was kind to these people in his family. When they reached a certain age, they would be sent to the other courtyard to live together. He would send a few young people to serve them and let them live peacefully for the last few years.
“He's fine. He's a martial artist. His body is much stronger than ordinary people.” The housekeeper said with a big smile on his face. Crown Princess's virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young was very important to him.
When he thought of how he would be able to live peacefully even when he was old, he did not have any worries.
When the servants in the manor knew of this rule, they all advanced one by one. What was a servant afraid of the most? Wasn't it just being abandoned by the master in a precarious situation?
Crown Princess was kind and kind. She treated old servants who did not have the ability to work equally. Not only did she give them retirement, but she also raised them. This was their greatest fortune.
Right now, many of the servants in the manor were looking forward to the day when they would be old, and they would be able to enjoy peace and happiness as well. To live the life of a master. All of this was given to them by Crown Princess. Who could not be loyal to him?
In the afternoon, Marquis Mu En came to visit. He was carried in by someone. His face was a little pale. When he saw Tang Yue, he was so excited that he could not speak clearly.
“What's going on? I remember that when I saw Marquis at the beginning of the year, he was still healthy. He could run and jump.” Tang Yue expressed his concern. He washed his hands and put on gloves to check on him.
“Ah, it's hard to explain.” Mu En Hou asked someone to help him up. He lifted his clothes and revealed a leg that could not stand up. “A few days ago when I went out to ride a horse outside the city, I thought I was getting stronger. In the end… I fell like this.”
“Just a leg?” Tang Yue gently touched his leg bone and found that there was indeed a fracture, but it had been treated. He frowned and asked, “The bone is already in position. It is well received. Do you feel any discomfort?”
Mu En Hou shook his head. “I came to visit you today. Actually, it is not because of my injury, but because I have something to ask young master.”
Tang Yue put down his clothes, “I see. Just say it.”
Mu En Hou sighed and said, “They are all my good-for-nothing sons. They were plotted against a few days ago when they fought with others. Recently, I have been feeling a bit unsettled. This old man is afraid that something will happen to him and is constantly on tenterhooks. I heard that young master had corrected Noble Heir of State Duke Heng. I wonder if he can also cure that brat of my family.”
“You want me to help him get rid of his evil ways?”
“That's right. I know that young master is busy with work, so I shouldn't have disturbed him. However, after I was injured, I saw that he seemed to be remorseful and wanted to help him again. I hope that young master can understand my father's feelings.”
“Of course.” Tang Yue smiled and said, “Your request is normal, but I am busy. I don't have time to teach Young Master Ling, but I think there is a place more suitable for him.”
“Oh? Where?”
“The battlefield.” Tang Yue looked at his opponent's expression and stood up. “The country is in trouble now. Many men are loyal to the country on the battlefield. They are not afraid of death. In such an environment, people cannot do evil.”
“This… I'm afraid it's not appropriate. My son has been pampered since he was young. He can't raise his hand, he can't lift it…”
Tang Yue interrupted him and asked, “What does Master Hou think of Zhao Sanlang?”
Mu En thought for a moment. His temper is much better than my unfilial son, but…”
“It's just that he's also a playboy, right?”
Haha, if my son can be like him, this old man will be content. ” This was the typical example of being better than nothing. Even a father would think this way. When his son was like Zhao Sanlang, he would have new expectations for him.
“Do you know where Zhao Sanlang is now and what he is doing?”
“I only heard that he followed Crown Prince. I don't know anything else.”
“Then have you heard that the Crown Prince has a private army under his command?”
Marquis Mu En laughed, his expression somewhat awkward. All the officials in the court knew about this matter, and their views on this matter were different. In the end, it was something that violated the law.
Crown Princess took the initiative to bring up this matter, but no one knew what she was thinking about. Mu En Hou could only smile apologetically.
“That is a heavy-armored soldier, and Zhao Sanlang is one of the senior generals. He relied on his own ability to fight for the position. Do you know how he came all these years?”
Mu En Hou was a little surprised. Firstly, he was surprised that Crown Prince Zhao would take the initiative to tell him about this matter, and secondly, he was curious about Zhao Sanlang's experience.
He heard that Noble Heir of State Duke Heng had always been following Crown Prince. Judging from State Duke Heng's usual emotions, his son should have crossed the line. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to laugh.
“365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Zhao Sanlang has hardly rested for the past five years. He has been training and training for a long time. No one knows how much sweat he has sweated before he is finally recognized by everyone.”
“Actually, he doesn't need to work so hard. Everyone will help him out for the sake of their friendship, but he doesn't want to be a puppet held by others. He doesn't want others to think that he won't be able to survive after he leaves State Protector Prefecture. What do you think he has been working so hard for all these years?”
It had been a long time since Mu En heard anyone mention State Protector. After his death, State Protector's title of nobility had been taken back by the Imperial Court. His eldest son could only work in a small official position in the army. He was afraid that he would never be able to rise again in his life.
Lord Mu En did not know if Crown Princess was involved in this. Regardless of whether she was involved or not, he had no future.
Zhao Sanlang, who was initially not favored by others, was instead an unpolished unpolished jade. When he returned victorious, he was afraid that his official position would be even higher than his.
“His willpower relies on his strong willpower. He doesn't fear wind or rain, he doesn't fear injuries or illness. He persevered for a full five years in a day. When Master Hou sees him next time, he can see if he's different from what you think.”
“Haha…” Marquis Mu En did not intend to send his son to battle. He did not know the situation of the army yet, and the Crown Prince might not be able to return. If he sends his son away, wouldn't it be equivalent to taking his life?
“I have disturbed young master. I should go back and teach him a good lesson. Let him understand the gap between him and the others. I will encourage him to improve.”
Tang Yue naturally wouldn't force him. This was human nature. It was just that he didn't like the way Mu En Hou indulged his son too much. Treating his son didn't mean that the more you indulged him, the better it was for him.
The current indulgence could very well lead to future disasters. At that time, what could you use to stop the sins he had committed?
After asking the butler to send Mu En off, Tang Yue was stunned for a while. When the butler came back and found that he was still sitting in the same position as before, he reminded, “young master, will you make him hate you for rejecting Mu En?”
“If he is so narrow-minded, then he will hate you.” Tang Yue did not take this seriously at all. He was not a teacher, and he was responsible for educating children.
Tang Yue was about to go back to the study when a servant rushed in from outside the door. He said incoherently, “young master, there is news from the city gate saying that a fast horse rushed into the city with a sign to pass the border. It has gone to the palace.”
Tang Yue stood up with a whoosh and asked anxiously, “Did you find out anything?”
“No, that person ran too fast. The mountain chased for a while but was unable to catch up. He was already waiting outside the palace. If there is any news, he will definitely send someone back.”
Tang Yue prayed to the heavens that Crown Prince Zhao could get through this smoothly. Otherwise, what was the meaning of the rest of his life?
