Chapter 86 The Situation
After this incident, Chen Xiuping's identity and reputation were extremely prosperous. For a time, the threshold of the Su family was about to be breached. His reputation as a closed disciple of Wang Dao spread. Not only did some wealthy businessmen come to visit, but some officials also came to visit.
Came to visit.
Chen Xiuping's scalp has been numb in the past two days. He has to meet these people. They come here because of their reputation. If you don't see them, you will be looking down on them, so you have to meet them when you should.
After all these unnecessary things, Chen Xiuping finally found time to come to Wang Dao's house. Wang Dao suddenly laughed when he saw Chen Xiuping's miserable expression.
"Shuhei, you've had a good couple of days, right?"
Chen Xiuping knew that Wang Dao was laughing at him. Wang Dao could have used one sentence to get rid of these social events. By allowing himself to go through all this, Wang Dao was showing his energy to Chen Xiuping.
"My lord, you have done me harm by recruiting disciples."
Now that there was no one else around, the exchange between Chen Xiuping and Wang Dao was naturally about what they said.
"Hmph, I don't agree to anyone asking me to accept some gatekeeper disciples. Even the current Holy Emperor wants me to accept his prince as a disciple and I refuse. You actually still feel bitter?"
Chen Xiuping smiled bitterly at this. He is the kind of person who covets fame. If he wants to be famous, he can become famous by just doing anything. That requires a royal approach.
"It doesn't matter. The prince shows his love and it's too late for the students to be happy."
Although he knew that Chen Xiuping was a little reluctant, Wang Dao and Chen Xiuping still formed a master-disciple relationship. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father, Wang Dao is now half of Chen Xiuping's father.
"Now, you can't refuse my request as your son-in-law, can you?"
Chen Xiuping scratched his hair. Now he really had no reason to refuse Wang Dao, but it was a bit uncomfortable to ask him to teach. He just wanted to be a son-in-law of the Su family who could do some small business, but Wang Dao wanted to take him to another
On the road, Chen Xiuping didn't know if it would be easy, but being an official was a high-risk industry in ancient times.
"Although I know that you have never wanted to get involved in officialdom or enter the famous place, but I tell you, in this new Song Dynasty, you can only live in peace if you enter this place."
Wang Dao then told Chen Xiuping about the changes and crises in the New Song Dynasty over the years.
In recent years, the situation of the New Song Dynasty has become more and more dangerous. The Liao Kingdom now wants to provoke a war more and more. If it weren't for the Great Khan Empire in the middle, the Liao Kingdom would have already sent its troops to the south. Now the Great Khan Empire requires
The tributes he demanded were becoming more and more excessive. If the New Song Dynasty could not afford to pay the tribute required next time, and if the Liao Kingdom tried to intervene again, the New Song Dynasty might not be able to resist it based on the current military strength of the New Song Dynasty.
Now the ministers in the court are all interested in making peace. Even Wang Dao's group of friends do not have the ambitions of the past. Wang Dao is now quite old. Although his reputation is still there, if he wants to cause some trouble, I am afraid that
It was because he was powerless, so Wang Dao wanted to train Chen Xiuping so that he would have some say in the court in the future.
Although Wang Dao had made the final decision, Chen Xiuping was still a little unhappy. When he came to the New Song Dynasty, he had no desire for power. Just like many things he had thought about before, if the New Song Dynasty really lost to the Liao Kingdom
With the Great Khan Empire, Chen Xiuping would just take his family to another place to survive, so he asked if Wang Dao had other disciples? He could support them.
Wang Dao smiled bitterly at this. Although the few disciples he had accepted in the early years are now in the imperial court, they have already joined those people. So what are the words of loyalty to the emperor? He has not bothered to train new disciples in these years, so he takes it seriously.
