Chapter 356
"It's good now. My father is the emperor, and Dazhao is stable and prosperous. My sons and ministers can just enjoy themselves. There is no need to be an emperor. If you want to eat the food regulated by the emperor, just come in and have a meal with your father. If you want to play, What’s easier, there’s nothing interesting in the palace, it’s more fun outside.”
Jiang Cheng: Okay, this guy actually has such thoughts.
It's over, Lao Wu's leisurely look is really not just an act. This son is exactly the same as he is on the outside and doesn't hide his talents secretly. Then I thought about it, a son who is not worthy of going to court, do you really expect him to hide any talents? If he still has that thought, can he win over the minister? I can still use those nails happily, and I don’t mind being stared at.
He thinks too much.
However, Jiang Cheng still wasn't very willing.
"Lao Wu, if you still want to be the emperor, I will teach you personally during these last few years."
Jiang Zhao quickly refused: "Father, I cannot do this as a son."
This old emperor actually wants to disturb his retirement, which is definitely not possible.
"My father has a long life, don't think too much. From now on, I will worship the gods and enshrine the longevity tablets every day. You will definitely live a long life. Just choose your successor slowly."
After surviving those brothers of his, anyone can be chosen. There have been no new children born in the harem for many years. My father does not value women's beauty and has not chosen a concubine for many years. Life-extending pills can prolong life, but they are not helpful for having children.
Jiang Cheng clenched the armrest: "How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? When I get better, you can follow me and learn from me every day."
He didn't believe that his son was a piece of dead wood!
Even if it was rotten wood, he would try to carve it.
Jiang Zhao still agreed, then let's learn from the old emperor. It was impossible for him to learn anyway, and the old emperor would accept the reality. As for getting up early to follow him, that would definitely not work. He must get enough sleep before entering the palace.
If he couldn't get up, he couldn't get up. Even if he held the knife near his neck, he still couldn't get up. It was impossible for the old emperor to really chop him with a knife. After all, he hadn't committed any serious crimes. With this thought in his mind, Jiang Zhao didn't care about anything. Regardless of whether he has been with the old emperor these years, he can keep an eye on whatever the other person's situation is.
Jiang Cheng felt that Jiang Zhao agreed too quickly, which made him a little uneasy. It's not that I'm worried about my son, I think he's just faking it. I feel that it is a bit difficult to teach this son, so I don’t care, I will teach him first and then talk about it. He also has other sons. Let’s try to see if Lao Wu can succeed first. It’s best if he can succeed.
Even worse, there is still a fourth child as a fallback, although it makes me a little uncomfortable thinking about it.
"By the way, what kind of gods do you worship in your house all day long?" Jiang Cheng thought of this.
Jiang Zhao replied: "He is a Taoist immortal named Zizai Taojun."
"How come I haven't heard of the legendary Dao Lord Zi Zi among the immortals? Where did you hear about this Dao Lord?"
Jiang Zhao replied: "This is strange to say. After my father became ill, I suddenly wanted to worship the gods and pray for my father. The name of this free-spirited Taoist Lord came to mind. It didn't take long. Just think about it."
"Just like that time when Erchen suddenly took out three copper coins from his pocket for divination, it felt like he was being guided to do something in a trance, which made people very confused. This matter is very confusing to Erchen. It still left a deep impression on me, so when I went out with my third sister in those years, I couldn’t help but see some Taoist temples. Go in and take a look, trying to find the answer. It's just that after so many years, except for that divination, it was this time when I worshiped the gods that I had such an experience. They said that the Taoist priests could not answer Erchen's inner doubts. He has the talent to practice Taoism, but his sons like to have fun, so they don’t practice Taoism with them.”
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, is this really the case?
He didn't expect Lao Wu to have such an experience. He believed it. After all, he had the ability to listen to other people's voices many years ago. Those Taoist priests said that Lao Wu has the talent to practice Taoism? He naturally knew that these Taoist cultivators were not able to become immortals, but actually cultivated their hearts. If he could really become a god, how could he, the emperor who controls the power of the world, not be tempted? I have long gone to study those books on Taoism.
In history, many emperors who thought about cultivating Taoism and taking elixirs did not live very long. On the contrary, their life span was not up to the average of emperors.
So he won't touch that thing.
It would be strange if a few Taoist priests could refine the elixir.
But this time it was different. Lao Wu and he both had special experiences. Are there really gods in this world? It would be difficult to get answers to these matters, so Jiang Cheng had no intention of pursuing them further. He doesn't have many years to live, so don't let these things make him stupid and ruin his wisdom.
Gods, even if they exist, are not something he can get if he wants to be favored. His ability to listen to people's voices is enough. He must not be greedy, foolish, or leave a bad reputation. Jiang Cheng warned himself in his heart.
Jiang Zhao could vaguely sense the old emperor's thoughts. There were not many emperors who could keep a clear mind like the other party. The old emperor would be well off with the life-extending pill that could extend a period of sixty years. This pill can not only prolong life, but also make it pain-free until the end.
"I feel that my health is almost better. I have an early morning meeting tomorrow." Jiang Cheng said, "After lunch, you can go back and get ready. Remember to come to the early morning meeting tomorrow."
Jiang Zhao responded.
Go ahead first, you can't blame him if you can't get up.
Jiang Cheng still felt that Jiang Zhao agreed too quickly, but he couldn't think of any problems for the time being, so he would wait and see tomorrow.
After lunch, Jiang Zhao didn't leave, but mentioned the matter of choosing a son-in-law for Jiang Kui. After the war between the two countries subsided, the old emperor thought of this matter again. Jiang Kui was almost 20 years old, and some rumors had leaked out recently.
"Still watching." Jiang Cheng said, "I actually have a good candidate, but I don't know if he is willing, so I have to ask."
