The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 432
After Liu Wei entered Qin's Restaurant, the three of them stood up immediately and saluted. Liu Wei smiled and waved his hands, and said, "We are all friends, why should we be like this, please sit down."

After everyone sat down around the table, Liu Wei ordered someone to add some more food and wine. Everyone chatted while eating like this. Of course, what they talked about was nothing more than what they saw outside and anecdotes about the capital.

Of course, several of them are smart people, and they didn't say a word about some taboo things.

After drinking for three rounds like this, Liu Wei suddenly brought up the topic of the Holy Majesty's choice of a teacher for the prince.

When Liu Wei mentioned this, none of the three took it seriously, and Lu Mengzheng even laughed and said: "The prince is hoped by Da Song. Their teacher must have both ability and political integrity. I think the Holy One will be cautious."

Liu Wei nodded with a smile: "That's true, but because of the discussion before, the prince's teachers will be one old and one young. Now the old bachelor has been selected, and the rest are young bachelors. All of them are from my Song Dynasty. A rare talent, I wonder if you are interested in applying for the position of teacher and prince teacher?"

Hearing Liu Wei's words, the three of them froze for a moment.

At first they didn't take it seriously, they just thought it had nothing to do with them, but now, according to Liu Wei, they seem to be the ones who might become the prince's teacher.

This is a great opportunity for them.

However, after Liu Wei finished speaking, the three of them immediately made a statement.

"Master Liu is really good at joking. I don't have enough knowledge and qualifications. If I go to be the prince's teacher, I will mislead my disciples. If I mislead others, it's okay to say, but if I mislead the prince, it will be a crime."

Li Hang is a smart person, he should not be too active when he is the prince's teacher, if he is too active, people will doubt his original intention, not to mention that they are still young, if they are too active, they will be thought to be overconfident.

When Li Hang said this, Lu Mengzheng also immediately said that he was not knowledgeable enough, and his qualifications were not high enough to be the prince's teacher, but Zhang Qixian didn't even open his mouth. He was very confident in his knowledge and mind, but because he had In the situation of looking for death on the streets of the capital, he thought that no matter how open-minded the Holy Majesty was, he would not let someone like him be the prince's teacher.

After the three expressed their views, Liu Wei smiled lightly: "Both of you are right. In terms of knowledge, there are many people in the capital who are better than them. In terms of qualifications, you have only been officials in other places for three years. It is not an exaggeration to be shallow, but the meaning of the Holy One is that it is not the knowledge of the lesser bachelors, but the hardships of the people they have experienced in the three years abroad, and their enthusiasm for building this country. Only in this way can those The prince is free from the deadly influence of those old scholars, which is why the Holy Majesty chooses officials from other places, and some of them have the most outstanding achievements among the officials from other places, if they are interested, they should be selected."

Speaking of this, Liu Wei smiled again: "I'm well-informed in the court, I have already got the news, the Holy One is very fond of several of them, and intends to choose a few, so you might as well be active at that time, Don't be like today."

When Liu Wei said this, Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang realized that Liu Wei didn't come to them today to reminisce about the old days, but to remind them that when the Holy Majesty asked them to be the prince's teachers, don't think about it. Why do you shirk because of lack of knowledge and qualifications, you must be brave to step forward.

That is to say, Liu Wei is providing them with the opportunity to tell them what the Holy Majesty meant.

The two were full of gratitude to Liu Wei, so they repeatedly expressed their willingness to follow Liu Wei's advice, and then they drank again, until they were full, and then left.

But after Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang left, Liu Wei suddenly asked Zhang Qixian to stay at his house for a few days.

In fact, Zhang Qixian was poor before, and the salary of being an official in other places these years is not high, but it is still possible to stay in an inn in the capital for a few days until he takes office. But at this time, Zhang Qixian is no longer the Zhang Qixian of the past. There is intention, so there is no excuse.

It was the New Year's Eve, but the weather was still a bit chilly, after the two got into the carriage, they drove straight to Liu's Mansion.

On the way, Zhang Qixian said: "Does your lord have something to say to the subordinate?"

Liu Wei smiled and nodded: "When I talked about being a teacher to the prince today, you never expressed your opinion, but do you think you are not qualified?"

Zhang Qixian nodded: "The reputation of the lower official in the capital is not good. If it weren't for the help of the adults, he wouldn't even be able to give him a Jinshi degree. Now that he has been a county magistrate for three years, how dare he be promoted to the prince's teacher."

Regarding Zhang Qixian's words, Liu Wei did not refute, but said: "Actually, you are not included in the list of favorites of the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty only thinks that Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang are good, but I think you should fight for it."

"This..." Zhang Qixian was a little puzzled. Since Zhao Guangyi didn't like him at all, how could he agree to become a teacher for his prince.

However, Zhang Qixian soon discovered that things were not as simple as he thought, so after saying that word, he immediately asked, "Does your lord have any arrangements?"

Liu Wei smiled, he felt that Zhang Qixian was more exquisite than before after three years away.

"That's right, among the three princes, the sage likes the second prince Zhao Yuanxi the most, but I admire the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo even more. This son is calm, precocious, and very affectionate. If he gets advice from a good teacher, he will have a bright future. Limited, I want you to be his teacher."

"This..." Zhang Qixian panicked at this time, he did not expect Liu Wei to have such a high opinion of the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo, and since Liu Wei has such a high opinion of Zhao Yuanzuo, it must be to support Zhao Yuanzuo. It's clear, fighting for the throne.

It is impossible for any prince to avoid the problem.

When it comes to matters involving the struggle for the throne, it is very serious, and one step cannot be wrong.

But for such a big event, Liu Wei thought that he was Zhao Yuanzuo's good teacher. How could he not be nervous? His life was given by Liu Wei, and he would do whatever Liu Wei asked him to do. The reason for his nervousness was that he was afraid that he was not capable enough, and instead missed Liu Wei's important event.

"I'm a lower official... I'm afraid it's hard to be a lower official, and... and the test of the Holy One is not easy."

Liu Wei didn't take it seriously, and smiled indifferently: "I can trust Brother Zhang for things like ability, and don't forget that behind you, there is my Liu Wei's support. It is not a problem to educate Zhao Yuanzuo well. As for the Holy Majesty Over there, you don't need to worry about it, as long as you agree, I will help you solve the problem of the Holy Majesty."

Hearing what Liu Wei said, Zhang Qixian felt a little relieved, but he was a little puzzled, what could Liu Wei do to make the Holy Majesty change his mind?
