Chapter 529: I Was Born to Be Useful (II)
Genius remembered for a second, "Love โ รท small? Say โ', provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"I was born to be useful?"
Zhao Xu muttered, "That's what I said, but you can kill the enemy on the battlefield, and you can lead a traitorous prince to come, this kind of thing, if it were me, would you still be able to do it?"
No matter how bad it is, even if you are not an official or a marquis, with your cooking skills, you can live in peace wherever you go, eat and drink without worry, but what about me? If I wasn't the emperor, what would I be? โ
Yang Huairen listened to Zhao Xu's more and more sad, and felt that his emotions were becoming more and more wrong.
In his opinion, for a sixteen-year-old young man like Zhao Xu, this period is the formative period of character and outlook on life.
When a person bids farewell to his childhood and gradually enters the ranks of adults, he will inevitably have a new view of things, and then use this adult view to measure himself as a young man in the past, which will cause confusion and anxiety to a greater or lesser extent.
Psychologically, this is a process of self-denial. In this stage of growth, either an elder will guide him step by step, or let him develop freely, and forcibly grow up through the steps of making mistakes, feeling pain, and then knowing that mistakes can be corrected.
Yang Huairen thought about it, there was indeed a lack of such a person to guide Zhao Xu in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Gao would naturally not teach him how to become stronger, and several scholars in the court, who were emperors, just forcibly instilled their views into Zhao Xu according to their ideas.
In their eyes, Zhao Xu is either a stumbling block in their struggle for power, or a marionette who can manipulate and dance according to their own ideas.
I have to say that the imperial power in the Northern Song Dynasty was too weak, either a relative was in power, or a civilian official carried out a moral kidnapping of the imperial power.
And several emperors in the late Northern Song Dynasty were too literary and weak, not to mention being manipulated by others, and they were kept like canaries in luxurious cages decorated with gold wire trimmed gemstones.
This kind of thing, Yang Huairen doesn't dare, and he doesn't have the ability to point it out in front of Zhao Xu, all he can do is to do his best in his own way, but to be worthy of this life, that's all.
In the face of such Zhao Xu, Yang Huairen no longer seems to resent him for not standing up and interceding for him in front of Empress Dowager Gao and hundreds of officials when Yang's mother carried the coffin and knelt at the gate of the palace.
"Since the saying 'I am born to be useful' is true, don't doubt yourself arbitrarily.
For example, I am a chef, and the cooking technique is very important to produce a delicious dish, as well as the ingredients needed to make the dish and the seasoning used to make it.
If we go back to ancient times, human beings still drank blood, and with the recommendation of time, human beings gradually learned to raise livestock in captivity, cultivate and grow food crops.
It is precisely because human beings have become smart that they have learned this, and purposefully captive livestock and planned planting of crops have made human food more varied and people's diets more nutritious.
The abundant nutrient intake has made human beings more and more intelligent, and gradually tried to create and discover more food types, and in such a virtuous circle, human beings have gradually come to this day.
The development of food is actually similar to the growth of a person. The more we go on the road of life, the more things we experience, and it is from these painful, happy, or puzzled experiences that we gradually grow.
Everyone starts with a baby who croaks to the ground, doesn't understand anything, only knows how to cry, and no one is born to understand everything, or have a skill.
After experiencing an innocent childhood, an ignorant teenager will slowly grow into a mature adult. The reason why you feel useless is precisely because you haven't matured.
But you don't have to be in a hurry, soon you will go through a lot of things, and you will soon mature, and then you will find out what kind of material you are and where the meaning of your life is. โ
Yang Huairen talked a lot, and the tone in his words did not regard Zhao Xu as a high-ranking emperor at all, but as a young brother to educate.
In fact, after finishing speaking, Yang Huairen also felt that he was a little self-inflicted, this kind of thing, he didn't say that it didn't affect him at all, but he said, either Zhao Xu really thinks that you are a life mentor like a brother, or you will feel that you know too much, and you are too bold, and you dare to educate the emperor.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu, the emperor, still has a good personality, he raised his eyes and looked out the window, recalling what Yang Huairen had just said, and seemed to fall into deep thought.
After a long time, seeing that the sky outside gradually turned from bright to dim, Zhao Xu came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled at Yang Huairen.
"Today, the court made a decision to let you be banned from your village, I hope you don't care, after a while, this matter will be slowly forgotten by the courtiers, and you will be released.
I heard that both of your ladies are pregnant, and this is the right time for you to stay in the Zhuangzi and accompany them.
There is one more thing, don't be idle at home, through the battle of Huanzhou, it shows that our border army of the Great Song Dynasty is not so incompetent, since the Tongyuan army can defeat the Xia army, then the strength of the border army in other places should not be worse.
You take the time to think about it at home, summarize the experience of the victory in Huanzhou, and the future innovation of the Great Song army, I still count on you to give me advice. โ
Yang Huairen was still complaining about Zhao Xu just now, how this kid couldn't care about others, seeing that the sunset was approaching, he had to go to the Empress Dowager Gao when he entered the palace this time, and explained to the old woman why he wanted to scare King Pu, and the old woman of the province suspected him and wanted to get rid of him behind his back.
I didn't expect Zhao Xu to come back after a long time, and he thought about so many things. Summing up the experience of the First World War in Huanzhou, this is no problem, but the latter sentence is wrong.
What does it mean to think about the military innovation of the Great Song Dynasty in the future? Will I give you advice in the future? Don't...... Zhao Xu wants to reform the army and rectify the military?
How could he be so sure that, with his current right to speak, he would put forward such an idea in the court, and the Empress Dowager Gao and those ministers could agree?
There is nothing wrong with rectifying the military itself, and it is also something that the government and the opposition are willing to see, but this kind of thing is easy to say but difficult to do.
The Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, the Xiang Army, and the Border Army have a large number of people, and the number of military officials is also huge, and if you want to innovate, the biggest difficulty is that you will inevitably balance the interests of all parties and spend a lot of money, but does Zhao Xu have a way to do this?
"I'm very happy today, it's not early, you can go back early."
Zhao Xu didn't pay attention to Yang Huairen's surprised expression, and stood up and walked towards the back of the hall, leaving Yang Huairen looking at his departing back in a daze. Reading, a better reading experience.
