Chapter 309: The Unbearable Weight of the Times
"I'm sorry, did the big brother scare you? Xiao Xuan, do you know how ridiculous it is to be a doctor, and do you know that it takes more than ten or twenty years to study medicine as a doctor, and it is extremely boring, and practicing medicine is not like you are today, you can cure people, do you think you can persevere? I memorize medicinal materials, medicinal properties and prescriptions every day, and you can't even memorize the three-character scripture, can you finish memorizing those medical books? ”
Li Chengqian lowered his voice and whispered, hitting Li Su's heart sentence by sentence, making him feel uneasy. Can such a naughty and active person persevere?
He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian firmly and said: "I can, I like this feeling, I am so happy to see someone rescued by me." I like that they thank me because I can save them, not just because I'm a prince. ”
"How can you have this kind of thought, we are dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, this is our innate destiny, how did we become a burden to you?"
Li Chengqian asked in disbelief, he didn't understand the awakening of humanities, the more he was exposed to it since he was a child, the deeper his feelings became, and the more independent the world view he formed, so he couldn't understand Li Su's thoughts at all.
"I, I didn't say it's bad to be a prince! I just think it's good to heal and save people. Li Suuna dared to say that the identity of the prince was a burden, not to mention that he was only a hazy feeling now, and he had not yet formed an independent worldview.
"You think about it yourself, don't answer me now, wait until you really think about it, and then tell me, then I will show your father for you, whether your father can agree or not, it depends on whether you can convince your father."
After Li Chengqian thought about it, he said to Li Su, in his opinion, a child's mind will change in a few days.
sent people to the academy, Li Chengqian didn't have the heart to confiscate their mischief tools, and ordered people to drive the carriage to Cai Cong's mansion.
The world is too crazy, a good prince doesn't do it, he wants to be a doctor, what's wrong with this world? He couldn't figure it out, so he needed to find someone wise to talk to him.
Cai Cong has just arrived at home, he is going to go out to patrol Shanxi, Fang Xuanling insisted on bringing him to Shangshu Province, and people from all walks of life went into battle, and what he said was to hope that Cai Cong would open his eyes and close his eyes, and not take it too seriously.
And as a price, they no longer interfered with the construction of the Martyr's Tower, which was counted as a quid pro quo. It's a pity that Cai Cong didn't want to agree, and he didn't dare to agree, Li Lao Er said a word in the court, and told Cai Cong clearly that he wanted him to clean up Shanxi, and he didn't dare to release water at all.
The transfer of 5,000 troops is not such a fast thing, so he ordered Meng Baolai to transfer troops and send people to the academy to borrow people, and then came back to say goodbye to his family.
As soon as she heard that Cai Cong was going out again, Sister Cai didn't like him anymore, and Chu Yao and Xiao Wumei didn't even want to look at him. Only Zheng Rong didn't understand what this meant, so he buried himself in packing her husband's bags.
When Li Chengqian arrived, Cai Cong was saying good things about the four women. After Sister Cai and Zheng Rong muttered for a while, Zheng Rong dropped the thing, sat next to Sister Cai and no longer paid attention to Cai Cong.
Cai Cong, who was lost in the backyard, smiled awkwardly at Li Chengqian, waved his hand indiscriminately, and shouted that the weather was good! Sister Cai and the others retreated shyly. Cai Cong is the head of the family to the outside world, and it is a shame to please them in the eyes of outsiders.
"The whole family won't let you go out, you say you can do what you want, and it's not that no one goes." Li Chengqian said unhappily, although he knew that Cai Cong was right to do this, but he was not happy in his heart, what if something happened to Cai Cong?
"Someone has to do it, besides, those comrades are all suffering because of my ideas, I don't call the shots for them, I feel uncomfortable!" Cai Cong shook his head and said, he is a homesick person, if it weren't for these soldiers, he wouldn't want to leave Chang'an for anything.
"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, I have a question here that I am puzzled about, you have a good brain, you can help me analyze it, what's wrong?"
Li Chengqian said worriedly, a prince is going to run to be a ninth-rate doctor, this is a fantasy!
"What do you say about this kid Li Su, but he happened to save people with croton powder on the road, and now he wants to be a doctor, and he also said that he likes to save people, and he likes to heal people and be grateful. Isn't that sick? If his father knew about it, he wouldn't be able to beat him to death? ”
"What are you doing with him? That's a good thing. Cai Cong said without thinking about it, the old Li family has been passed down from generation to generation, you have a king, and then another king, and sooner or later you will bring down a country like this. Someone can find a career for themselves, that's a good start!
"What's good? This is obviously a bad thing, if a dignified son goes to be a ninth-rate, does he want the face of the empire? Li Chengqian was anxious to jump to his feet, which seemed to him to be deviant.
"What's the matter with the face of the Empire? Let me ask you so many princes and heroes, have you come over from the Tang Dynasty? In my opinion, everyone is not born to decide what to do, but to discover what they should do.
But many people are forced by life to do what they like to do, those who want to read carry a hoe to the sky, and those who want to travel the world write letters to others for three meals and one night.
In my opinion, these princes and nobles have the best chance to do what they want, as long as it is not against morality and harm, they can do it according to their own wishes. Li Su wants to be a doctor, it's okay! How do you know he's a ninth-rate? Couldn't he be as meritorious as Sun Shenxian? Do you dare to say that Sun Shenxian is a ninth-rate? ”
Cai Cong was so good, Li Chengqian shook his head, oh my God! What kind of character is Sun Shenxian? He begged but couldn't see him, who dared to say that he was a ninth-rate.
"Let's talk about the fat man, he is now following the master of the academy to study the general history, although he is a master, but he can occasionally speak amazingly, and sooner or later he will become a university scholar, do you dare to say that he must be higher than Li Su? You are the crown prince, you have no choice, you are destined to inherit the throne, and they are different, maybe they can walk out of a road that no one has taken before and give Datang a new direction, do you know what I mean? ”
Cai Cong said impassionedly, perhaps in the future, the prince will no longer have a fief, but will engage in the work he likes and live a fulfilling life. The empire was centralized, and the rule of the empire was more consolidated. It's not an invulnerable model, of course, but it's an opportunity.
"Brother Cong, how do you think I should be grateful to you? Father is right, you have done your best to my old Li family. Li Chengqian said movingly, thinking that Cai Cong was paving the way for him!
"Pull it down! I'm not all for you, what I want more is for Datang to stand on top of the world, let all nations come to the dynasty forever, let Datang go north to Muma Hanhai, let Datang encompass the four seas, and encompass the universe. That's what I want to do the most, and if I can do that, I won't have any regrets even if I die. ”
"If this is the case, I am willing to die." Li Chengqian muttered that Cai Cong's ambition was too great, which made him yearn for it and couldn't hold himself.
