Chapter 229 - Should Have a Family?
Crown Prince Zhao said that he wanted to make the decision for Wang Dingjun. That afternoon, he called Zhang Chun over, along with Little Luoyuan, who was carried by Zhang Chun to support him.
Crown Prince Zhao first checked Little Luoyuan's homework. He was five years old and had already passed the enlightenment stage. Now he was learning from Mr. Wen in the mansion.
Apart from literature, the martial arts had not declined. Tang Yue felt that it was unnecessary, but Crown Prince Zhao took him as an example. When he was five years old, he didn't even have time to play. How could he be as happy as Little Luoyuan? He had time to play every day. There were even crafts classes. To put it bluntly, they were just playing.
After checking his homework, Crown Prince Zhao asked him to look for Tang Yue. He and Zhang Chun sat alone in the study room.
Zhang Chun was restless. He asked directly, “Why did His Highness ask me to come here?”
“You are not young anymore. It is time to have a family, right?” Crown Prince Zhao was more direct than him. He pointed out his goal one by one.
Become a family. Becoming a family meant moving out of the Crown Prince's Palace. It meant that he could no longer meet Tang Yue at any time, and he could no longer play around with Little Luoyuan. He was even closer to Little Luoyuan than his father.
“Haha…” Zhang Chun forced a smile and said, “There is no rush now. I am still young.”
“I have the list of all the ministers and princesses of South Jin here. It's definitely more complete than Royal Father's draft picks. There are many who are both handsome and handsome. I'll give you one day to finish reading and select a few. You can consider them slowly when you return to Ye City.”
After Crown Prince Zhao finished speaking, he threw out a list. Zhang Chun was frightened and said, “No… Your Highness. That… I don't…”
“Wang Dingjun also has a copy of the same register. His father is old and his health is not good. He is about to reach the end of his life. It is time for him to be filial to his son.”
As a son, what was filial piety? No matter what era it was, parents would love to see their children get married and have children.
Zhang Chun's hand shook and the register fell to the ground. His face turned pale. “Did he… agree?”
Crown Prince Zhao was ambiguous. He said expressionlessly, “He said he would consider it. The war will only get more intense. Wang Dingjun is a talent that I have trained for many years. Qinyang City is not his battlefield. The border of North Yue is.”
“Haha… Isn't His Highness going to Chu Province? I have discussed with Crown Princess and will go together. I will use my personal name to sponsor a thousand tents and ten thousand sets of cotton clothes. Consider this a bit of my appreciation for the border warriors. ” Zhang Chun squeezed out an ugly smile and stared at Crown Prince Zhao.
He had never been so bold. He only wanted Crown Prince Zhao to take back the list of names that he gave to Wang Dingjun, although he did not think it was a fundamental problem.
“Then I will thank the Young Marquis on behalf of the soldiers. When this battle is over, I will reward you for your contributions.”
“No, no, I am only doing my best. I really cannot accept the reward…” Zhang Chun hesitated for a while and carefully asked, “Your Highness, can I exchange for other rewards?”
“What do you want?” Crown Prince Zhao poured himself a cup of tea and looked at him unhurriedly.
“This…” Zhang Chun picked up the register and handed it over. “You may not know, but I have a lot of problems and am not suitable for marriage. You see… Is this unnecessary?”
“I know your problem very well, but no matter how bad a man is, he still needs to get married. This is not a conflict.”
Zhang Chun wanted to cry. Your Highness, are you really comforting me? Or are you going to stab him in the heart?
“This is not urgent. No matter how fast it is, I will have to wait until I return to Ye City before I can ask the matchmaker to come and propose marriage. I only gave you a copy when I thought of you at the same time I gave it to Wang Dingjun. ” To be honest, I was worried that the two of you would fall in love with the same family. At that time, it would be difficult to handle. “
Zhang Chun gritted his teeth and thought,” You are worrying too much. Why do I have the same vision as him? It will not happen.”
“That may not be the case. Although we all love radish and vegetables, there are still some good girls among the young ladies of the big families. I heard that the second daughter of Xue Tingwei's family is very beautiful and talented. She is one of the most beautiful women in the world.”
Zhang Chun lowered his head and flipped through the register. He saw this woman on the first page. She was only 14 years old this year. Damn it, getting married at this age was really not a problem?
Zhang Chun shook his head and said firmly, “This woman is too young. She is not suitable for him.”
Crown Prince Zhao refuted, “Age is not a problem. Wang Dingjun is just married, and he is the city lord. Xue Tingwei will not despise his age. Besides, he is alone. If he really likes this girl, there is a 90% chance that he will succeed.”
“He will definitely not take a liking to her!” Zhang Chun was very confident. How could he not know what kind of character Wang Dingjun had?
“You are still too young. You don't know that marriage is a matter of two families. It is not just a simple relationship. Back then, I insisted on marrying Tang Yue. Today is the day that I broke through all difficulties. But how many people like me can there be in South Jin?”
What Crown Prince Zhao meant was, you people are just making a fool of yourselves. Since you do not have the courage, why don't you split up as soon as possible?
Zhang Chun's face was pulled. He stood up with a whoosh. “Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Highness. I will go back and think about it clearly.”
“Yes, you are not in a hurry. You can think about it slowly. Wang Dingjun is indeed old and is about to go to war. I want him to get married before he leaves.”
Zhang Chun's eyes almost popped out. “Your Highness, he is in Qinyang City. Most of these noble ladies are from Ye City. How are they going to get married?”
Crown Prince Zhao glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot, “The words of a matchmaker are written by his parents. As long as he has his eyes on a lady, he can just write a letter and let the matchmaker come to propose to him. If time is short, it can be simplified. I believe that the matchmaker will forgive him if he wants to get married.”
Zhang Chun smiled dryly. “Then do you want him to give birth to his son before he goes to war? In case he dies outside without a son to inherit the incense.”
Crown Prince Zhao nodded. “That's what the old city lord thinks, but I think it depends on fate. What do you think?”
What am I supposed to say! Zhang Chun was about to go crazy. Why did he stand here and discuss Wang Dingjun's marriage and child with others?
“Your Highness, this matter depends on what Wang Dingjun wants. If he doesn't want to…”
Before Zhang Chun could finish his sentence, Crown Prince Zhao interrupted him. “What can he not want? Back then, he was in the Crown Prince's Palace because I was afraid that he would be distracted after he married. That was why I didn't let him marry. Now that the time has come, it is the right time for a man to have a family and start a career.”
Zhang Chun muttered in a low voice. “Then you still did not follow the normal path…”
Crown Prince Zhao pretended not to hear him and said, “It's not impossible for him to walk this difficult path like me, but he needs someone like Tang Yue. Otherwise, I wouldn't agree.”
Zhang Chun walked out of the study in a daze. He rushed to find Wang Dingjun immediately. As for what they said, whether they fought or fought to the end, Crown Prince Zhao did not care at all.
On the third day, the weather was unusually good. The sun hung high in the sky. The haze and cold of the past few days were dispelled along with the next day.
“Your Highness, everything is ready. We can set off at any time.” Wang Dingjun reported energetically. Crown Prince Zhao glanced at him and turned to Tang Yue. “Does yesterday's bet still count?”
Tang Yue raised his head and glanced at Wang Dingjun. He did not even need to ask his expression and eyes to know that he had gotten what he wanted.
He took out his money bag and threw a golden cake over. Ignoring Crown Prince Zhao's proud look, he walked past him and left a sentence: “I'm going to see Zhang Chun.”
Tang Yue was about to go out when he bumped into City Lord Yang who was rushing over. City Lord Yang did not have time to apologize. He ran into the door in a panic. “Your Highness… it's not good…”
“Huh?”
The city lord asked. “About a hundred thousand soldiers are approaching Qinyang City. They will arrive in less than two hours. What should we do?”
“A hundred thousand soldiers?” Everyone present was stunned. Tang Yue turned around and asked, “Where did they get a hundred thousand troops? Could it be that they have temporarily recruited troops again?”
Crown Prince Zhao shook his head. “That's impossible. No matter which country they are from, they did not recruit soldiers at will. They should go to the battlefield immediately. King of Qi's fiefdom is also the territory of South Jin. If King of Qi could not do that, it would be impossible for his descendants.”
“Then this is…”
Crown Prince Zhao walked to the big map hanging on the wall. He stared at it for a moment and said in a deep voice, “It seems that North Yue did not make any movements because they were waiting for me here.”
“You mean…” Tang Yue walked to his side and watched Crown Prince Zhao draw a line on the map. It was a red line that connected Qinyang City and North Yue.
Yang Feng and Wang Dingjun also came to their senses and exclaimed, “The target of North Yue is Qinyang City! Why?” Qinyang City was in the southwest, which was too far for North Yue. Why did they come all the way here? “Could it be to join forces with King of Qi and break through the Qinyang City in one fell swoop?
Both of them looked at each other and saw the shock and worry in each other's eyes.
“Your Highness, this lowly official will send someone to prepare for battle! Let the King City Lord bring you out of here.”
Yang Feng was ready to fight to the death. He wanted to buy enough time for Crown Prince Zhao to leave.
Crown Prince Zhao shook his head, “I won't leave. At least I won't leave now. Let people figure out the situation of the enemy first before making a decision.”
“Your Highness…” Yang Feng and Wang Dingjun shouted in unison. It was Tang Yue who stopped them. “You don't need to persuade them. We have made sufficient preparations in Qinyang City. Just wait and see.”
Wang Dingjun suddenly understood. Only Yang Feng still foolishly felt that Tang was boasting. When he wanted to persuade them again, he was pulled by Wang Dingjun's sleeves. He used his eyes to signal that he no longer needed to persuade them.
