Comprehensive Martial Arts: The Emperor's Growth Plan

Chapter 120

Just when Cao Zhengchun was full of confidence, Yu Lianzhou smiled and said, "Unfortunately, among the people present, there is really one person who can represent the court better than Eunuch Cao."

"Really, then I don't know who it is, who is more representative of the court than the governor? Then I really want to get to know him, and I need Erxia Yu to introduce it to the governor."

Cao Zhengchun sneered in his heart, he really wanted to see who would dare to blatantly oppose him in front of him!

Just when everyone was curious about who the person Yu Lianzhou was talking about, Zhao Xuan, who was standing beside Yu Lianzhou, came out, looked at Cao Zhengchun, and said, "Eunuch Cao, the person my teacher said is right here."

"It's you..." Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhao Xuan. He was impressed by Zhao Xuan when he was hiding in the dark just now. If he appeared suddenly, the turmoil would be resolved by him. Although Cao Zhengchun was insidious, he still had the air of a master. He admired a young man like Zhao Xuan, and he also intended to win him over.But no matter how much he appreciated Zhao Xuan, Cao Zhengchun would not let him go if he came out to fight against him at this time!Besides, Cao Zhengchun didn't recognize him. Although he didn't know the origin of this young man, in the huge imperial court, there were only five people Cao Zhengchun couldn't afford to offend, and Zhao Xuan was not among them.

When Zhao Xuan claimed to be more representative of the imperial court than Cao Zhengchun, people around him were arguing about Zhao Xuan's identity. He dared to stand up at this time, and some people wondered if it was Yu Lianzhou who wanted to avoid Xie Xun's whereabouts. He told Cao Zhengchun to play tricks and used his apprentice as a shield. After all, if Zhao Xuan had any prominent status, Cao Zhengchun should be able to recognize it with Dongchang's intelligence ability.

Everyone felt that even if the handsome young man in front of him was a son of a powerful person, if he offended Cao Zhengchun, there would be no good end, and when they felt sorry for him

Just when Cao Zhengchun was about to open his mouth to laugh at Yu Lianzhou, what qualifications does your apprentice have to represent the imperial court, Zhao Xuan spoke first instead.
Zhao Xuan looked at Cao Zhengchun with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked Eunuch Cao for his kindness in sending people to escort me. In order to escort me safely to the south of the Yangtze River, I caused Eunuch Cao to lose many subordinates. The father-in-law expressed his apology, it's my fault!"

Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Cao Zhengchun thought to himself, when did I send someone to escort you?This Governor has never done any good deeds. He has always only done murder, not saving people!

Suddenly, Cao Zhengchun had a flash of inspiration, and finally remembered that he had really done this. When King Cheng went to the fiefdom, Dongchang also participated in the guard work. His subordinates were in charge, so he couldn't react immediately, and King Cheng's name was Zhao Xuan! .

Cao Zhengchun, who had already remembered this incident, had completely lost the smile on his face. If the other party hadn't impersonated, then he was more qualified than himself to represent the imperial court, which belonged to his family!

However, in Cao Zhengchun's memory, Zhao Xuan, the King of Cheng, did not know martial arts and was a scholar without the strength to restrain a chicken, but the man in front of him was clearly a first-class master in the Jianghu. people pretending to be the prince, but just in case, Cao Zhengchun tentatively asked
"It turned out to be Mr. Zhao. I don't know if the rhino horn-carved Night Tour Chibi Cup in your father's hand is still there?"

"It's a pity. As early as three years ago, this treasure was broken. I remember that Eunuch Cao should be there, right?"

Everyone was puzzled after hearing this, why these two people are still chatting about family matters, could it be that this Wudang disciple named Zhao Xuan's family has a good relationship with Cao Zhengchun?
Hearing Cao Zhengchun's words, Zhao Xuan knew that Cao Zhengchun was trying to test his identity. This rhinoceros horn eagle night tour Chibi cup was once the favorite of Zhao Xuan's father, Song Zhezong, and he couldn't put it down. But as early as three years ago, It was because when Song Zhezong was playing around at that time, he received news from the front that General Ao Bai of the Qing Dynasty led his army to attack the border. The weapons and equipment on the road were poor and the food and grass were in short supply. When he learned that the reason for the great defeat was that some people had enriched their own pockets and withheld supplies, Song Zhezong was furious at that time and summoned Cai Jing, Mr. Zhuge and others overnight to discuss countermeasures. In front of him, he smashed the Rhinoceros Horn Carving Night Tour Chibi Cup in his hand to pieces!This incident spread in the palace later, even a transparent person like Zhao Xuan heard about it, and he also knew that Cao Zhengchun happened to be guarding the imperial study at that time.

Later, the war ended with the defeat and retreat of the Manchu Qing soldiers. On the surface, the credit was attributed to the heroic battle of Lei Zhentian, the general who was in charge of leading the army at that time. Going to defend against the Eight Banners disciples, it is rumored that the man from the rivers and lakes is a man of great martial arts and heroism, and there is a roar of dragons roaring between his strikes. Only then did the Manchus retreat.

So Cao Zhengchun deliberately asked Zhao Xuan about the Rhinoceros Horn Carving Night Tour Chibi Cup, just to see if Zhao Xuan is the King of Cheng, and Zhao Xuan's answer also proved his identity
At this time, Cao Zhengchun had ten thousand horses running by in his heart, and he scolded in his heart, you are a good prince, why don't you enjoy the blessings in your fief if you have nothing to do, and go to practice martial arts?It's fine for you to worship Yu Lianzhou as your teacher, but why did you come all the way to Wudang to pay respects to your birthday?Do all princes now have this style?
No matter how much Cao Zhengchun had something to say in his heart, he could only salute Zhao Xuan respectfully and said:

"I've seen His Highness King Cheng. I don't know when, His Highness actually joined the Wudang School, and even practiced this kind of martial arts. It's really an eye-opener for this servant!"

Zhao Xuan didn't show off, and helped Cao Zhengchun himself, "Grandpa Cao is very polite, this king and master hit it off right away, and this king has always been interested in martial arts, so he begged master to accept me as an apprentice. As for this There are so many opportunities in person, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

"For today's matter, I hope that the father-in-law can sell the king's face, so let's forget it, how about it?"

Cao Zhengchun saluted Zhao Xuan respectfully. It was his wealth, wealth, and power that came from Song Zhezong. Once he lost Song Zhezong's favor, there were people behind him staring at him. He wants to replace him, so he can be arrogant and domineering in front of anyone, but in front of a prince like Zhao Xuan, he must salute respectfully, and every move must be in line with his status as a slave. , as long as I have a little overstepping behavior, it will be passed on to the emperor's ears by someone with a heart,
But this does not mean that Zhao Xuan can manipulate Cao Zhengchun at will. Zhao Xuan's identity can be legally respected by Cao Zhengchun, but he does not have the right to issue any orders to Cao Zhengchun. Can fall on deaf ears.

People respect me one foot, I respect others one foot, Cao Zhengchun saw that Zhao Xuan took the initiative to help him up, and he didn't make himself look bad in the public, so he also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, his old face would be unstoppable, Cao Zhengchun knew, After Zhao Xuan got involved, his plan had already failed. In that case, there was no need for him to offend Zhao Xuan here. It would be better to sell him some face, which might come in handy in the future.
