Chapter 14 Visiting the Sages

It took Jun Han a nearly half a year to leave Beijing, but Guanhaisi's achievements gradually came back to Kyoto. Those who worship the marshal naturally talked about it, but for the Prime Minister, the news was tinkering in his heart like a sharp sting, which made him worried and uncomfortable.
The Prime Minister asked for sick leave for a few days, but there was nothing big about it. He was just a migraine and had a very bad habit. In addition, he was in a depressed mood and was really not in the mood to go to court.
The court without the Prime Minister and the Marshal argued, is no different from the idle gathering. Civil and military officials talked about things if they had something to do, and stood and doze off halfway. He spent a few hours waiting for the little emperor to be exhausted and then he naturally retreated. There was no difference between those who could not go to the court.
This is also a big problem that has made the Prime Minister exhausted.
Why can't Jun Han be punished? It's because they are just two pillars of the court, one civil and one military, and they just fall down one by one, and the country has to be finished. Who told the dragon throne to sit a little boy whose hair is not yet fully grown?
Situ Jing leaned on the couch halfway and sighed. He didn't have much trouble but sighed that he was terminally ill.
Originally, he thought that if Jun Han could get rid of the great disaster of frequent chaos, no one in the court could hold military power. Although he was not as capable as Jun Han, at least he would not be as dangerous as him. Even if there were no generals in the court who were competent for the commander of the Tielin Army, the King of Northern Yan, who was far away in the northern border, had countless military achievements. He had been guarding the north for many years and was at peace...
But this time, the Prime Minister saw that Jun Han could not replace him, or that his position could not be replaced by one person at all.
This person is indeed as the former emperor said, with both literary and military strategies, which can resist foreign countries and settle down in the country.
"Tsk..." Situ Jing pressed the temples on both sides with a strange feeling.
This accidental thought was a bit harsh and it felt uncomfortable to have a headache.
"Sir?" The maid next to him hurriedly came to greet him.
Situ Jing waved her hand and waved her back.
Jun Han almost carried the weight of a country on his shoulders, and was the pillar of his actions, but he didn't look like a loyal minister.
He, the prime minister, could not rest assured that he would be entrusted with the lifeline of a country to a person who was unpredictable and seemed ambitious.
"Sir," the maid knocked on the door outside the house, "Mr. Lu asked for a meeting."
"Oh, let him wait for a while." In response, the Prime Minister stood up and put on his clothes with his movements, and did not look like a sick person at all.
Lu Yanzhi came just right.
It was hot in midsummer and the study room could not be stuffy. Lu Yanzhi waited for the Prime Minister in the pavilion, but couldn't sit still, so he paced around the pavilion.
The Prime Minister was worried about urgent matters and rushed into the pavilion in a hurry. However, Lu Yanzhi couldn't wait for him to enter the pavilion, and as soon as he saw him, he was busy greeting him.
"Sir, you have heard about Guanhaisi recently?"
How can I not hear it?
"Say you know."
The two of them walked in a hurry and returned to the pavilion in a blink of an eye.
"Maybe the marshal won't come back all year."
“Why?”
"Now that Guanhaisi's affairs have been sorted out, he is preparing to hold a meeting in the martial arts world, and he is planning to do it recently."
"Jianghu Conference?!"
The Prime Minister yelled, and his brain was twitching, and suddenly he felt like an awl was stuffed into his head, which made him almost unable to stand firm.
"Sir..." Lu Yanzhi hurriedly helped the Prime Minister sit down, "You must not fall now."
The Prime Minister recovered, "Tell me, what is he going to do when he holds a meeting in the world?"
"Of course, it is to unify the forces of the world and ensure that his plan goes smoothly."
The Prime Minister sighed with depression while holding onto the chair rail.
Jun Han held the tiger talisman in his hand. He could order the three armies in the court and govern the world in the wild. Now there is another Guanhaisi. If this continues, no one in the world can restrain him...
"There's another thing."
Situ Jing was already weak, so he stood on his head and said carelessly: "Say."
"Three days ago, General Shu returned to Beijing, and once he returned to Beijing, he took the marshal's adopted son to visit his family master."
Situ Jing was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Zhang Zhongqing?"
“That’s right.”
"What did he do when he visited Mr. Zhang?"
"It seems to be that the marshal's adopted son was apprenticed to his disciple."
"Has Mr. Zhang accepted it?"
"The master said he has been in poor health recently and has not seen him."
Situ Jing thought for a moment again.
This is nothing.
But Lu Yanzhi looked worried. Situ Jing glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Are you afraid that Jun Han will be unfavorable to Mr. Zhang?"
Lu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, "The teacher is old, and if he refuses, I'm afraid..."
This reminded Situ Jing.
"I'll go see Mr. Zhang." As he said that, the Prime Minister stood up.
"grown ups?"
The Prime Minister hurriedly updated Yi and took Lu Yan to Zhang Zhongqing's residence.
The two were in the carriage and thought about it again.
The Prime Minister said: "We will try our best to persuade Mr. Zhang to accept that child as his disciple."
"But the master has always hated the aliens of the demon clan, so it is probably not so easy to persuade."
"That's why I said try my best."
Mr. Zhang's residence is in a secluded alley west of the city, with few pedestrians coming and going, which is the quietest corner of the capital.
The simple cart with two horses was parked leisurely in front of a single door.
The carriage stopped steadily, and the Prime Minister got out of the car, but he just raised the curtain and was stunned.
In the alley, two cars met head-on. The Prime Minister was fixed at the door of the car and looked at the opposite side in half shock. Shu Ling held the doll down from the car.
Situ Jing coughed gently, withdrew his astonishment on his face, and walked out of the car calmly.
Lu Yanzhi followed closely behind and was also stunned.
Shu Ling bowed and saluted: "I have met the Prime Minister."
When Yi Chen saw Shu Ling bowing like this, he also bowed to the Prime Minister like a scholar.
"General Shu is so polite." The Prime Minister smiled kindly, then he lowered his eyes to look at the doll following Shu Ling, "This must be the young master of the General Manager's Mansion."
Shu Ling smiled.
I thought that the baby who could be Jun Han’s son would be a vicious little wolf cub, but I didn’t expect that he would look so cute and not like a little wolf cub, but rather like a lamb.
Can such a child really survive the hands of Jun Han, the devil's alive king of hell?
The Prime Minister has been looking at him for a while, and it makes Yi Chen feel a little uncomfortable to chase him.
The Prime Minister is just thirsty, and there are three valleys between his eyebrows. When he doesn't smile, he looks serious, which is somewhat timid, but if he smiles, he is still quite kind.
"Are you two here to visit Mr. Zhang?" Shu Ling asked with a smile.
Situ Jing smiled and replied: "It's a coincidence."
Shu Ling knocked on the door of the courtyard, then smiled and raised his hand to ask, "Sir, please, first."
Situ Jing smiled and returned the gift, then raised his leg and walked into the door first.
Lu Yanzhi followed up nervously, glanced at the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister narrowed his eyes slightly, signaling to shake his head - it's okay.
Today, both sides had to meet Mr. Zhang as they wished - perhaps because the Prime Minister and Lu Yanzhi were there.
As Lu Yanzhi expected, Mr. Zhang saw that Shu Ling's face was not very good-looking.
After three days of arrival, Yi Chenzhu finally met the legendary Mr. Zhang, so he quietly looked at each other while the adults greeted each other.
Mr. Zhang was not as thin as he thought. Instead, he had a burly figure that was not like a literati. Although he was old and slightly hunched, he was still very energetic, not like an old man who was over 70 years old.
Five people were stuffed into the small simple house in the corner of the city, and the space was a little compact, but it was just the distance between conversation.
Mr. Zhang looked at each other in the future and laughed, "I was sick before, so I was not able to see you. I would like to forgive you for being rude."
"It's the younger generation who bothered me."
Yi Chen followed Shu Ling and felt that the atmosphere was a little depressed, so he became dull and dared not speak.
Mr. Zhang noticed him, so he stroked his gray beard and said, "Is this child?"
Seeing that he looked at the child with a little suspicion, Situ Jing hurriedly said with politeness: "This child looks kind, but his eyes are full of glory. I think he is a smart child."
Yi Chen looked at the Prime Minister in a daze, confused and a little confused.
Mr. Zhang didn't say anything, just looked at the doll carefully.
Shu Ling looked at the Prime Minister with a little unexpected surprise, then bowed and asked, "I hope Mr. can accept my young master as his disciple..."
Mr. Zhang put his hands down, "I have a few questions and want to ask my friend alone."
When the Prime Minister saw that Mr. Zhang seemed to be willing to accept the child, he stood up consciously and smiled and said, "Since the sir is going to ask this child alone, let's all go outside the house to avoid it."
Shu Ling shocked the Prime Minister's enthusiasm. Before he could shake, his body stood up obediently.
"Hey..." Yi Chen was so panicked when he heard that he wanted to stay alone and was asked, so he chased and looked at Shu Ling who was closing the door.
Shu Ling clenched his fists at him, silently encouraged him, and then tightened the door.
Yi Chenzhu sighed softly, turned around, lowered his head slightly, waiting for the test.
"You, raise your head." Mr. Zhang smiled slightly, but his expression was kind.
Yi Chen chased and raised his face obediently, "Sir..."
The doors and windows were all closed, and the light in the room was a little dim, but the child's bright eyes were as bright as crystals, with bright eyes but as soft as water, long eyebrows and narrow tips, not very arrogant, and had extraordinary demeanor, but was completely opposite to Jun Han.
This child is as the Prime Minister said, with a glimpse of his eyes, but he seems kind but not innocent.
After looking at this, Mr. Zhang was quite satisfied and said, "There are rabbits and tigers in the mountains. Rabbits hunt for tigers and grass eats rabbits, how about it?"
"..." Yi Chen was stunned for a moment, and said ashamed: "It is natural for rabbits to eat grass, tigers to eat rabbits, so what is wrong..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang smiled and asked again: "Can you slaughter a tiger to protect the rabbit?"
"No."
"Can you regain rabbits for the sake of surviving tigers?"
"No."
"What if you force the tiger and rabbit to be friends?"
“…This is impossible…”
Yi Chen chased this answer and completely made Mr. Zhang laugh.
So Yi Chenzhui could only smirk and scratch his head, not knowing what to react.
After a moment, Mr. Zhang laughed and waved his hand, "You can go back today. Come to our yard tomorrow. Let's discuss the issue of the tiger and rabbit in the same mountain."
Yi Chen was stunned for a moment, "Sir, are you planning to accept me?"
