Chapter 354 Su Dongpo intends to establish a new emperor
After a few moves, beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Xu's forehead. He raised his red face and asked Wu Zhi expectantly: "Master, how did the disciple's fight go?"
Although Wu Zhi was a little moved, Zhao Xu was the emperor's son after all. If he had frequent contact with Zhao Xu without the emperor's permission, it would only bring danger to the two of them.
Wu Zhi found an excuse and said to Zhao Xu: "You are indeed good at fighting, but you are a prince."
"Learning martial arts is not a necessary course for you. Once you learn martial arts, won't you have no time to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Zhao Xu shook his head seriously: "Master! My disciples have already mastered what the master taught me."
"If you don't believe me, master, please listen. I will recite the Three Character Classic to you!"
After saying that, Zhao Xu put his hands on his back and memorized the "Three Character Classic" copied by Wu Zhi.
At this moment, not only Wu Zhi, but also Su Dongpo who was standing by to persuade Wu Zhi was moved.
Although Zhao Xu's voice is childish, his words are clear and mellow. Although he is childlike, he is full of righteousness. When the sun shines on him, he looks like a wise king!
At this moment, Su Dongpo felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something.
A very bold idea emerged in his mind!
If this man is trained and taught strictly, he will definitely be able to lead the Song Dynasty, which is riddled with holes, to become prosperous and powerful again!
Why did Su Dongpo write to the emperor on his way back to Beijing to report on his duties, saying that he would not go back?
It's because he has seen through Zhao Ji's true nature and knows that this emperor will only bring more suffering to the people!
Therefore, Su Dongpo, who was already helpless, simply let go.
The final shape of the Song Dynasty is no longer something he, a dying old man, can control.
And the Zhao Xu in front of him rekindled Su Dongpo's hope!
Su Dongpo pulled Wu Zhi aside: "Put aside what I just said. I want to ask you, how is this child?"
Wu Zhi thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, he is a talent that can be made."
"My master hopes that you will accept him as your disciple and teach him martial arts. In terms of literature, I will teach him personally."
Wu Zhi's eyebrows couldn't help but raise.
Almost instantly, Wu Zhi guessed what Lao Su was thinking.
Lao Su plans to make Zhao Xu emperor!
"Teacher, you are too bold to do this. Moreover, no matter how well we train him, he will not be able to take the position of emperor! After all, the official family does not pay attention to this son at all."
Su Dongpo snorted coldly: "When I became a prince, I was short-sighted. I only made friends with bad friends! Now that I am an emperor, it is even worse!"
"From his perspective, of course he looks down on such an outstanding Lin'er."
"Whether the officials like him or not is their own business! But the Song Dynasty needs a wise king who has no bad habits and a righteous mind!"
Wu Zhi scratched the back of his head.
His action naturally caught the eye of Su Dongpo. Although the time between master and apprentice was not long, Su Dongpo was a seasoned person. Through Wu Zhi's action, he could already see his inner hesitation.
He said: "My teacher knows what you are thinking. You are a person who does not stick to the rules and does not like Fan Wen's humiliation."
"In your eyes, there is no imperial power at all. Whether the emperor or the prince, they are not much different from ordinary people. So there is no king in your eyes, and there is no emperor in your heart!"
"You only care about the happiness of yourself and your family and friends. This world has nothing to do with you!"
Wu Zhi smiled bitterly and nodded: "No one knows me better than my teacher!"
Compared with Wu Zhi's smile, Su Dongpo looked very serious.
