Chapter 47 The Great Confucian

The arrival of Prince Jin brought some changes to the cold Kuiyuan.

However, Su Chen's life was not greatly affected by this.

Most of the time, Prince Jin would read and study with Mr. Yuan on the second floor, and rarely move around outside. Su Chen did not need to accompany him all the time, which was completely different from what he imagined being the prince's nanny.

Only when they occasionally couldn't find a certain book would they ask Su Chen to help find it.

The days are still leisurely.

Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Chen usually didn't mess with things like runes in the morning. Most of the time, he practiced fisting and kicking, or read books, played chess, and took care of the things in the yard.

sunflower.

As time passed, the sunflowers in the yard sprouted.

Prince Jin was happy about this for a long time. He looked forward to the sunflowers blooming all over the yard in summer.

The baby bird left behind by Haidongqing has also grown up day by day, its wings are becoming more and more mature, and now it is starting to run around the yard.

Su Chen named it "Kun Luo".

This is the meaning of "Haitongqing" in Gusitong language.

Prince Jin also liked this little thing very much and would often come out to tease Mr. Yuan while he was dozing off.

Two days ago, I missed my study time because I was chasing birds and was slapped by Mr. Yuan.

Speaking of Mr. Yuan, he has a big background.

His name is Yuan Zhengdao.

A contemporary great scholar, leader of the gentry, the old lady of the Yuan family, the largest gentry in the capital, a veteran of three dynasties, the leading bachelor of Long Yuan Pavilion...

This series of golden titles, each one is heavy.

At this age, the old man could actually retire and return to his hometown to take care of his old age at home. However, Emperor Xiaozhuang personally visited the thatched cottage three times before inviting him into the palace and personally teaching Prince Jin.

Seeing His Majesty's sincerity, Yuan Zhengdao also understood that Prince Jin would probably be the king of Chu in the future. For the sake of the Yuan family's subsequent hundred years of glory, he agreed.

But this old man is also famous for being strict.

Academically, he was meticulous and tried his best in teaching Prince Jin. However, if he made a mistake, the old man would not be merciful at all. He would hit him when he needed it and scold him when he needed to.

After all, Prince Jin was young. He often felt wronged and did not dare to go to the emperor to complain, so he would come to Su Chen.

Of course, most of the time, Su Chen just listens and doesn't interrupt.

After all, his identity is there. If he corrupts the prince with his nonsense and is exposed, he will be in big trouble.

Fortunately, Prince Jin is also very sensible. He just needs someone to talk to, and he doesn't ask Su Chen to comfort him.

After going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other.

Mr. Yuan saw this, and although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

this day.

Su Chen had just finished breakfast, and while it was still early, he thought about stretching his muscles in the yard.

After practicing Taizu Changquan for so many years, he still has not given up.

Although this Kung Fu has no practical value, it is quite unique in terms of keeping fit and healthy.

Even if you reach Su Chen's level, you can still gain a little by practicing occasionally.

certainly.

With his current strength, his internal energy is strong and powerful, and any punch or kick has supreme power. Therefore, even the simplest Taizu Changquan seems magical in his hands, and the force of the fist is like the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger.

, the golden light blooms faintly.

"Wow, Eunuch Su, you are so awesome!"

At this time, a voice came from outside the door.

Prince Jin walked in wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket. He came extra early today because he missed a lot of homework yesterday.

Su Chen had also heard his footsteps a long time ago.

However, the emperor knew about his martial arts training. Now he was practicing the most common Taizu Changquan, so there was nothing shameful about it.

"Your Highness, you've given me too much praise. It's just some fancy tricks to keep you healthy."

Su Chen smiled and bowed.

However, the little prince was very interested. He waved his arms and stepped forward: "Eunuch Su, you are so powerful, why don't you teach me martial arts?"

"That won't work. Your Majesty has a rich body and your Majesty has high hopes for you. After all, martial arts is not the foundation of governing a country. It would be better for you to focus your energy on your studies."

Su Chen quickly refused.

Are you kidding me? It’s not a joke to teach my prince to practice martial arts.

If the emperor wanted to let Prince Jin practice martial arts, she would naturally find a famous teacher for him, but obviously, she did not intend to train him to become a strong martial artist.

Su Chen would not cause trouble for himself.

"Forget it if you don't teach me, huh, I don't want to learn yet!"

Prince Jin was a little unhappy and went to the library angrily.

Su Chen didn't care either. The child's temper would get better after a while.

After stretching his muscles and cleaning the library again, he returned to the yard. Seeing that the weather was good, he took out the chessboard and entertained himself.

"Eunuch Su, it turned out that he had studied chess?"

At this time, an old voice came from far away.

Su Chen looked up and saw Mr. Yuan walking towards him. He couldn't help but wonder, at this time, if the old man was not upstairs supervising the prince's studies, why did he come out to chat with me in his free time?

But on the surface, I don't dare to be too negligent.

He stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan is just kidding. It's not about research. He's just bored and thinking blindly by himself."

"This chess game doesn't look ordinary. It just so happens that I'm pretty proficient in chess, so why not play a game with my father-in-law."

He said and sat down next to him.

Don't give Su Chen a chance to refuse at all.

In fact, Su Chen couldn't refuse. He was a veteran of three dynasties and a great scholar in the world. With his status, playing chess with a small eunuch in charge of him had already given him a huge amount of face. How dare he refuse without knowing what to do?

but.

With someone like him, how could he have the leisure and elegance to play chess with a nobody like himself?

I'm afraid I have something to say.

Su Chen knew this clearly, but he didn't show it on the surface, showing an expression of joy and honor. The two gathered their chess pieces and rearranged the layout.

Su Chen would not take the initiative to speak.

After just a few moves, I heard Mr. Yuan speak.

"How many years has it been since Eunuch Su entered the palace?"

"Mr. Hui, I entered the palace in the 28th year of Hongguang's reign. I have been here in Kuiyuan for more than ten years."

"It's been the 28th year of Hongguang's reign. It's been a long time. At that time, I was also serving as the Minister of Rites."

Mr. Yuan smiled, but suddenly the conversation changed.

"Speaking of which, how many years did Eunuch Su serve His Majesty in Kuiyuan? No wonder he was able to gain the trust of His Majesty and let you continue to serve Prince Jin. But I have something unclear. When Your Majesty came out of the abyss, why didn't Eunuch-in-law choose to serve you?

dragon?"

"Haha, the old gentleman thinks highly of me too much. I am a disabled person with no other talents. I can't help her by following Your Majesty. Besides, I am used to being lazy, so I don't have that much thought."

From the old man's words, Su Chen could hear a hint of temptation.

So I took the opportunity to show that I had no intention of clinging to the powerful.

After hearing this, Mr. Yuan just smiled noncommittally: "There is no one in this palace who is not obsessed with climbing up. There are not many people like Eunuch Su who are indifferent to fame and fortune. If nothing else, just

The current director of the Dongchang Factory was just like you at first. He was just an unknown little eunuch. Now look at him, he has won the trust of His Majesty and has all the power in the government..."

The words "power over the government and the public" have a completely different meaning when spoken from the mouth of a veteran of three dynasties.

When Su Chen heard this, he probably thought about it.

This old man Yuan was the leader of a noble family, so he naturally hated Lin Fan, a eunuch, to the core of his being.

It's a pity that Lin Fan now has the trust of the Holy One, and there is nothing he can do.

That's why I committed myself to assist and teach Prince Jin to plan for the future.

Of course, it is impossible for the old man to know about the previous personal relationship between Lin Fan and Su Chen.

When I say these words at this time, I am taking advantage of this.

He didn't like Prince Jin and Su Chen to get too close, so as not to repeat the same mistakes in the future. If there was another eunuch official who was favored by the Holy Family, it would be difficult for their noble family to get ahead.
