"Sir, this is Mr. Tong from the Jingzhao Mansion. He once served as the Crown Prince and Tutor in the capital. He has a sworn relationship with the Duke. The Marquis once studied with Mr. Tong when he was a child."
Xu Xiao glanced at the old man and explained to Jin Feng: "Master Tong retired from office a few years ago and returned to Jingzhao Mansion to live in seclusion. Every time Qinghou went to the northwest, he would visit him from here. I guess Master Tong heard about Qinghou
I'm sick, come and take a look."
"It turns out he is Qinghou's teacher." Jin Feng suddenly realized.
The prince's tutor is the prince's teacher, also known as the emperor's teacher. Although he has no real power, he has a high status.
Many emperors' governance concepts came from the teachings of the princes and tutors.
In addition to educating the prince, the prince and tutor usually also educate other princes and princesses, as well as the children of some close officials and officials.
There was not just one prince or tutor in Dakang, but several, each teaching different aspects of content.
But there are not many people who have taught Chen Ji like this, Master Tong, and also taught two generations of Ninth Princess.
When Chen Ji was in power, Duke Qing was a powerful official in the first echelon and was also allocated two quotas.
It stands to reason that Qinghuai was just a concubine and had no chance to study in the palace. However, his two brothers were really unsatisfactory. When they entered the palace, they either made trouble or made troubles. Their studies were also in a mess and they made a lot of jokes.
Duke Qing felt embarrassed and sent Qing Huai and Qing Mulan to the palace.
In the feudal era, respect for teachers was the most important thing. Master Tong once served as Qing Huai's teacher. When he came to the camp, it would be considered rude for Qing Huai not to go out to greet him.
"Qinghou is inconvenienced, Xu Xiao, please go and greet him."
Jin Feng waved his hand at Xu Xiao and turned back to the tent.
But before entering the tent, I turned back and took a deep look at the team behind Mr. Tong.
Some of these people were carrying boxes, and some were holding exquisite boxes. You could tell at a glance that they were here to give gifts.
It stands to reason that Mr. Tong is Qinghuai's teacher. Even if he learns that Qinghuai is injured and comes to see him, there is no need to bring so many things, right?
However, it is also possible that Mr. Tong likes to show off, or that he has a deep relationship with Qinghuai.
This was Qinghuai's private matter, so Jin Feng didn't think much about it, turned around and entered the tent to continue writing teaching materials.
But not long after I wrote it, Xu Xiao came again.
"Sir, Qinghou, please come over."
"Their teachers and students were reminiscing about old times, why did they ask me to come over?"
Jin Feng was a little confused, but he still put down his pen and paper and followed Xu Xiao.
Qinghuai's door curtain was open, and from a distance, Jin Feng could see boxes all over the place, almost filling up the empty space in the tent.
There are also some small boxes stacked on top of the big boxes.
After such a long period of recuperation, Qinghuai was able to get out of bed. When Jin Feng came in, he was sitting at the table, chatting with Master Tong.
The servant carrying the box was waiting at the door, and only four girls of fifteen or sixteen were standing behind Mr. Tong.
Seeing Jin Feng come in, Qinghuai stood up holding the table: "Sir, you are here! Let me introduce you. This is my teacher Mr. Tong. He has taught in the palace for many years. The late emperor and the current majesty,
They all once studied under Mr. Tong.”
"Xiaosheng Jin Feng has met Mr. Tong!"
Since the other party was the teacher of the Ninth Princess, Jin Feng raised his hand and made a scholarly gesture.
"I, Tong Qian'an, have met the Imperial Master!"
The other party didn't show off, he stood up and gave Jin Feng a gift in return, which was a 90-degree bow.
"Old sir, you can't do it! You can't do it!"
Jin Feng hurriedly held up Mr. Tong: "Sir, if you give me such a great gift, won't you shorten my life?"
Putting aside his identity, at sixty or seventy years old, it is not appropriate for him to receive such a great gift from the other party.
"The Imperial Preceptor persuaded Your Majesty to implement benevolent policies, light corvee and low taxes, and give the people the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate. This is a great merit of countless living people, and he is worthy of any great gift!"
Mr. Tong stood up and said: "It is really a blessing for Dakang to have such a talented person as Mr. Dakang!"
"Sir, that's ridiculous!" Jin Feng waved his hands repeatedly.
"I am not flattering the Imperial Master, but I am speaking out of my feelings."
Mr. Tong said: "Everyone with a discerning eye can see that if the Imperial Master wants to establish himself as a king, no one in the world can stop you. However, the Imperial Master has not done so. Instead, he has been risking his life to guard the border.
, and also saved the late emperor when the old prince usurped the throne!
Now it is even more eclectic, supporting the most capable Wuyang as the emperor!
One after another, these are all earth-shattering events. Only those with great courage can't accomplish them. The Imperial Master did it in an understatement!
I have done some research on history books. Looking at the history books, you can be called the first person in history!"
"Mr. Tong, if you praise me again, I will float!"
Jin Feng was a little embarrassed by the praise and took the initiative to change the subject: "Sir, are you here to visit Qinghou?"
"Yes, I learned yesterday that Qinghuai was attacked and injured. I stayed up all night and came here early this morning."
Mr. Tong said: "In addition to visiting Qinghuai, I also want to come and pay homage to the Imperial Master."
"Sir, you're welcome. I should go to Jingzhao Mansion to see you."
Jin Feng was really not good at this kind of interpersonal communication, so he made a perfunctory reply, and already had the idea of avoiding others: "Sir, it's a rare visit, so I won't disturb you and Mr. Qing's reminiscing about old times."
"Master Imperial Master, please wait!"
However, Mr. Tong grabbed Jin Feng and motioned to the girl next to him to open a box: "When we first met, I didn't have anything to show for it. I heard that the Imperial Master not only has a bodyguard agency, but also a trading house, a bank, and a restaurant.
This is the deed of some shops that I have in Jingzhao City, and I gave them to the Imperial Master."
In order to maintain the most basic stability and prevent incidents of vandalism, smashing and looting, Jin Feng did not confiscate fixed assets such as real estate and ancestral homes from those landlords and gentry who actively cooperated with the land distribution.
After capturing a new city, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau will usually occupy the territory of the city's soldiers for training and residence, while other forces under its command, such as the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and Banks, will rent or purchase shops and will never rob them.
As the second largest city in Dakang, Jingzhao Mansion’s shop prices are not much cheaper than those in the capital.
Although the box Mr. Tong handed over was not big, it was definitely much more valuable than a box of gold.
However, Jin Feng didn't even look at the wooden box, and waved his hand directly: "Sir, you are too polite, I can't take it."
An innocent person is courteous, but he is either an adulterer or a thief.
Most of the literati in Dakang are proud, especially those who came from a noble family and served as emperor's teachers. When they go out, their eyes are always higher than their noses.
Mr. Tong kept praising him just now, but Jin Feng felt something was wrong.
I am more vigilant now.
"Master Imperial Master, this is my wish when we first met. I have already brought it out, so just accept it. Otherwise, where will I put my face?"
When Mr. Tong saw Jin Feng's refusal, he immediately started moral kidnapping. He also took the wooden box from the girl's hand and stuffed it into Jin Feng's arms.
But the more he behaved like this, the more vigilant Jin Feng became.
