In fact, up to now, the high-ranking families still have the tradition of raising scholars, but the custom has become very weak and the scale is also very small. For example, the Yang family, one of the most famous families in the world, has only a few hundred casual disciples in the family.

Compared with other famous families, this is already a lot. Like Zhao Bo'an, the more he raises, the more he raises, up to thousands. This is very rare, and it is exaggerated to the extreme. Although this approach has greatly expanded Zhao Bo'an's reputation, the entire

In the world, when it comes to knights and loose men, everyone knows about him. However, at the same time, Zhao Bo'an's actions also attracted criticism and suspicion from many people.

The arrival of Chu King Zhao Shuo not only represented him personally, but also had the shadow of Zhao Zhi in it. Therefore, when he learned that Zhao Shuo had entered Jiangzhou and would arrive in Hongzhou soon, Zhao Bo'an personally led Jiang and Hongzhou.

, more than 100 civil and military officials at all levels traveled a hundred miles to welcome him, showing the highest standards of etiquette.

On the official road, the King of Chu's motorcade was still moving forward, and a cavalryman came quickly and reported loudly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Zhao Bo'an, the king of Hong'an County, has come out to meet them a hundred miles away. We will meet them if we advance another twenty miles."

Zhao Shuo didn't respond. The cavalryman waited for a moment, then turned and left.

Inside the carriage, Chen Xianda chuckled and said, "Zhao Bo'an attaches great importance to His Highness's arrival."

Zhao Shuo drank wine and said indifferently: "I am not just representing myself."

Chen Xianda glanced at the wine glass in King Chu's hand and whispered softly: "Your Highness, although wine is a good thing, drinking too much will be harmful to your health."

Zhao Shuo is a very strange person. This strangeness is not only reflected in his personality, but also in many things that are different from ordinary people, such as drinking. Chen Xianda has followed Zhao Shuo for so many years, and sees him doing the most things every day.

It was drinking, but no matter how much he drank, Zhao Shuo never got drunk.

Zhao Shuo was still drinking wine and said calmly: "Everyone in the world says that wine is a good thing. If you drink too much, you will forget many things when you are drunk, but I... have never realized the beauty of it."

Chen Xianda shook his head, not saying anything. Some people just want to drink, and some people just want to get drunk. But sometimes, the more you want something, the less you can get it. For example, Zhao Shuo, who drank

His face was flushed and he was sweating profusely, but he was still very sober. This was really like being drunk but not being drunk. It was much more uncomfortable than simply being drunk.

"Your Highness, this is a message from the Governor of Hongzhou an hour ago. There is something in it that may be of interest to Your Highness."

Chen Xianda took out a letter and handed it to Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo took the letter, glanced at it casually, and said quietly: "After so many years, Zhao Bo'an is still so good-looking."

There is very little content in the letter, just one thing. Two days ago, Zhao Bo'an held a banquet in the palace to entertain guests. The eldest son, Zhao Qiankun, came out to dissuade him. As a result, Zhao Bo'an was furious and beat him with fifty sticks. The official of the palace

Sima Yuanxian was imprisoned, and the banquet broke up unhappy. This incident spread quickly, but the real reason was not known to outsiders.

Chen Xianda smiled: "Some people have temperament on the inside, while some people have temperament on the outside. From some aspects, Zhao Bo'an's character is not a bad thing."

Zhao Shuo drank a glass of wine and said coldly: "You should tell these words to your father, not to me."

Chen Xianda said softly: "When things have reached this point, the emperor's suspicion has arisen. It is useless for outsiders to say anything. I hope Zhao Bo'an will be smarter and not make things worse."

Zhao Shuo stopped talking, leaned back and closed his eyes.

Chen Xianda glanced at Zhao Shuo and smiled softly. Zhao Shuo's character may be very weird and unpopular in the eyes of others, but Chen Xianda likes it very much. Whatever he says is what he says, and Zhao Shuo will do it.

, and doesn’t talk much.

Twenty miles, completed quickly.

When the chariot of Chu King Zhao Shuo appeared in the field of vision, Zhao Baian was immediately shocked. He crossed his legs and mounted his horse to meet it.

"Is the King of Chu within the chariot?"

The soldiers did not stop Zhao Bo'an and let him go in front of the car.

Zhao Shuo opened the curtains, walked out, and looked at Zhao Bo'an.

Seeing Zhao Shuo, Zhao Bo'an and the dozens of people who followed him immediately dismounted from their horses, bowed and saluted, and said, "See the Thousand Years Old King of Chu."

Zhao Shuo got off the carriage, personally helped Zhao Bo'an up, and said softly: "Uncle King Bo'an is so generous, I can't bear it."

After being helped up by Zhao Shuo himself and hearing him call him Uncle Wang, Zhao Bo'an was all smiles. There were dozens of diners behind him. Being treated with such courtesy in front of them was very beneficial in terms of face.

"After several years apart, my good nephew has become more stable."

"Uncle Wang's words are serious, I, the king..."

The two were chatting there.

Behind him, Chen Xianda glanced at Zhao Bo'an and shook his head secretly. Zhao Shuo did this to give him face, but Zhao Bo'an was a little dependent on his elders and neglected his dignity. Zhao Shuo's attitude towards Zhao Bo'an was pretty good.

There are very few people who are treated like this by Zhao Shuo. This may be because Zhao Bo'an is the adopted son of the late emperor. He has lived in the palace for many years and watched Zhao Shuo grow up. When Zhao Shuo was young, he was extremely loved by Zhao Bo'an. This made Zhao Shuo very popular.

Zhao Shuo finally left a trace of goodwill towards him, otherwise Zhao Shuo would not be so polite to him.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone set off and continued on their way to Hongzhou.

The Hongzhou administrative office, Huixian County, Zhao Bo'an's Jiedushi Commander's Palace and the Hong'an County Prince's Palace are all located here.

Zhao Bo'an was already very hospitable, and when King Zhao Shuo of Chu came, he even threw a grand banquet with more than 4,000 guests. It was so lively that it became a grand event all over the city, and many people came to watch.

Zhao Bo'an led the army to guard the south of the Yangtze River all year round. He fought with Yue and E Jiedushi Yang Liecheng for so many years. He was well-established in advancing and retreating, regardless of high or low. However, this was only military. In terms of politics, Zhao Bo'an was indeed too bad. He may have overthought many things.

It's simple. At the banquet, Zhao Bo'an asked Zhao Shuo about his intention to come. Zhao Shuo just said that Uncle Wang was here and he should come to meet him first. Zhao Bo'an actually believed it and threw away the advice of many people. He was relieved.

Drink and have fun.

After staying here for three days, Zhao Shuo said goodbye and left. His arrival was light and calm, as if he was really just here to meet Zhao Bo'an and had no other meaning. This made many people feel relieved.

It seems that the emperor has not been affected by those gossips, and his trust in Zhao Bo'an is still very deep.
