Chapter 1054 The old man's opinion is, join the army
"Damn it, I almost spilled the beans." Cheng Chu sat silently aside.
"Thanks to Zhao Da for his wit, otherwise you would have waited to be dealt with." Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.
Several people sat down.
"Why are you here again today?" Zhao Chen asked the two of them.
Wei Zheng came over yesterday afternoon and told him about the Tai Chi Palace.
Zhao Chen was a little too understanding when these two guys came over today.
"Don't you want to come over and see my little niece?"
"It's already the third day, why haven't you decided on your name yet?" Qin Huaiyu explained.
When Zhao Chen mentioned this name, his head hurt.
I talked to Li Ruoshuang about several names last night, but none of them satisfied her.
From time to time, he was asked to think of names for the children.
Zhao Chen's head hurt from being pushed by her.
"Don't talk about it, I'll think about it later." Zhao Chen waved his hands, with a look of embarrassment on his face, which surprised the two of them.
They have never seen Zhao Chen in such a difficult situation.
"Zhao Da, we are here to say goodbye to you." Cheng Chu was silent for a moment before speaking to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen nodded.
Although Cheng Chumo didn't say where he was going.
But Zhao Chen understood in his heart.
Now the border is in a fierce battle with the Goguryeo army.
The fathers of Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were also in the army.
There was no way they could stay in Chang'an City forever.
The two of them are military commanders, and the battlefield is their destination.
"It's okay, you won't get much out of staying in Chang'an, but you have to pay attention to safety when you go back." Zhao Chen said to the two of them.
"Don't worry, I've learned a lot from you in the past two years. Everything else is just an introduction, but this life-saving trick is the most proficient." Qin Huaiyu said with a smile.
Cheng Chumo also laughed.
After a while, the three of them didn't know what to say.
The three of them met first, and almost never separated along the way.
At this moment, the two of them have to head to the border first.
Naturally, I feel a little reluctant to give up.
"Not bad. I heard from Old Wei that the two of you have already taken up the military post of general."
"When you return from Goguryeo and perform a few meritorious deeds, you will probably be able to reach the position of Lieutenant Commander in the Yulin Army." Zhao Chen said to the two of them with a smile.
Both of them smiled and said nothing.
Although Zhao Chen will also go to the front line later.
But everyone in the army performs their own duties, and even if they know that Zhao Chen has arrived, they may not have a chance to meet Zhao Chen.
This time we say goodbye, I really don’t know when we will see each other again.
"By the way, this is a gift for my little niece. When she comes back from Goguryeo, I will give her a good one." Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen handed over a sword.
"You...my daughter has to wield a sword." Zhao Chen took the sword and put it in front of him, pretending to complain.
"Haha, for such a strong woman as my sister-in-law, the daughter she gave birth to will not be simple."
"In the future, he will definitely be a fierce man jumping up and down after the dandies in Chang'an City."
"This sword suits her just right." Cheng Chumo explained with a smile.
"Zhao Da, this is my gift, a pair of short guns, for my little niece." Qin Huaiyu took out a pair of short guns from behind.
Zhao Cen's eyelids twitched.
Good guys, these two don't have a normal gift.
"When my daughter grows up, she will definitely let her beat you up first." Zhao Chen accepted the gift with a smile.
"Haha, then we'll just wait." The two laughed.
There was another moment of silence.
Cheng Chumo looked up at the sky and slowly stood up.
Qin Huaiyu also stood up and looked at Zhao Chen.
"Let's go, it's not like we have to say goodbye."
"After a few months, we can meet again!" Zhao Chen patted the two of them on the shoulders and consoled them.
"Then... let's go." Cheng Chumo said.
Zhao Chen waved.
The two of them turned around, walked to the door, paused for a moment, and ultimately did not look back.
Zhao Chen stood there and watched the two people leave.
The students of Chang'an Academy have almost dispersed now.
Fang Yi went straight to the Imperial College.
The eldest grandson rushed to the Ministry of Rites to take up his post.
Wei Shuyu served in the Ministry of War.
Everyone has their own place to go.
Life is just a gathering and a breakup. There is no such thing as a feast that never ends.
…
"Zhao Chen, all students in the academy have made arrangements."
"What are your plans for the future?" Li Jing looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
"Isn't there a decree for me to go to the border army in a month?" Zhao Chen looked at Li Jing and said with a smile.
"You know that's not what I asked." Li Jing said slowly.
The war in Goguryeo will end sooner or later.
Regardless of whether Datang loses or wins, this war will not last long.
Zhao Chen will come back from the border one day.
After returning from Jiangnan, the emperor made his own arrangements for the students in the academy.
Everyone has his own place to go.
Only Zhao Chen has nothing.
How old is Zhao Chen that he can live in such a state of confusion all his life?
"I think this is good." Zhao Chen smiled.
"Very good?" Li Jing frowned.
"Did you look at how Li Tai treated your subordinates?"
"Zhao Chen, His Majesty cannot protect you forever, whether now or in the future."
"You have to hold your own power in your hands."
"The force that makes Li Tai dare not act rashly."
"Even if you are a powerful minister, you have to protect the people around you." Li Jing and Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.
When he talked about the people under his command, Zhao Chen's expression turned gloomy and terrifying.
Zhao Chen suddenly understood.
Even if the emperor is selfless to himself, he can even make any concessions for himself.
But one day, the emperor will no longer be the emperor.
Once Li Tai ascends the throne as emperor, how will he deal with himself?
Without the emperor's support, the most he can do is fight with Li Tai, with both sides losing.
Is this what you want to see?
Zhao Chen promised Old Li Tou that he would protect the Tang Dynasty.
Thinking of this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Zhao Chen's face.
"My opinion is to join the army."
"In the court, except for Wei Zheng and others, the civil service group is extremely resistant to you."
"Even if you achieve great achievements, no one will be willing to include you."
"But it's different in the military."
"If nothing else, I can help you, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Niu Jinda."
"They will all be your help."
"Enter the army, change your ways, and gain a firm foothold in the court."
"Zhao Chen, do you understand?" Li Jing and Zhao Chen said slowly.
The current situation of the court is that the Wenchen Group is unwilling to accept Zhao Chen.
Unless Zhao Chen doesn't step into the court, no matter what may happen in the future.
Waiting for Li Tai to clean up.
Otherwise, Zhao Chen would need to find another way.
The civil servant group and the general group are the two forces in the court.
Although the military commander usually doesn't have much to say in the Tai Chi Hall.
But that does not involve their fundamental interests.
Li Jing believes that Zhao Chen needs to strengthen himself again.
This expedition to Goguryeo was an excellent opportunity.
Zhao Chen naturally understood that Li Jing was doing it for his own good.
Abandoning martial arts and embracing literature is a good way to find a new path.
But Zhao Chen really didn't want to worry about these things anymore.
"Think carefully about what I said. I am too old to protect you for the rest of my life."
"Only when you are strong can you be truly strong." Seeing Zhao Chen didn't speak, Li Jing also knew that he didn't think clearly.
After saying that, he got up and walked to the backyard.?
