Chapter 1268: Try it and be happy
And just in Shouchun City, when it was full of praise for Gongzi Wangcai, Xiong Huai arranged for Chen Zhen to send people to pay attention to Gongzi Wangcai's every move with a heavy face.
The reason why I pay attention to Gongzi Wangcai is not to doubt him, but to simply observe and think.
To tell the truth, Xiong Huai is extremely dissatisfied and even hateful at the moment for Song Guo's fanfare, swaggering through the market, and vigorously advocating the prosperity of his son.
Since Xiong Huai decided to abolish the crown prince, Gongzi Wangcai and Gongzi Yan have come into his sight.
Xiong Huai has already decided that the candidate for the next king of Chu will be chosen from the two of them.
Therefore, Xiong Huai chose to send away Gongzi Rat and Gongzi Niu, and left the two of them in China.
Among them, because of Gongzi Wangcai's age, Xiong Huai has sixty percent of his expectations falling on Gongzi Wangcai, and the remaining thirty percent falling on Gongzi Yu.
In the end, the remaining one percent let the other two sons and Gongziping act as insurance. As for the Childe Charter, it is too small, and in such an era, Xiong Huai does not dare to do what Emperor Wu dares to do.
And now, the advocacy of the Song State, if not good, will ruin the son Wangcai, one of the future successors of the Chu State.
When a person grows up, encountering blows and setbacks, this is not a bad thing, although this may make people give up on themselves before they grow up, but it is also possible to make a person become extremely strong in the process of growth, not only sharpening his will like steel, but also increasing his ability.
And when a person grows up, when he has not yet encountered blows and setbacks, he is surrounded by praise, which will make him complacent, and then indulge in falsehood.
This ruins a person.
What Song Guo is doing now is the latter.
Although Xiong Huai already knew about this before the Song envoy arrived in Chu, he also knew that this matter was very detrimental to the growth of Gongzi Wangcai.
But Xiong Huai did not intervene or stop it.
Because now Gongzi Wangcai has already performed the crown ceremony, and he has also been studying under Tang Yu for more than two years. If the person advocated by the Song State this time was Gongzi Yu, who was only fifteen years old, then Xiong Huai would not have given the Song State's envoy group a chance to enter the border of the Chu State at all.
Because it was Wangcai, who had already become an adult, Xiong Huai did not stop it, but planned to give Wangcai a test.
Xiong Huai wants to pass this test and see what the temperament of Gongzi Wangcai is? I want to see if Gongzi Wangcai can maintain a sober self in the praise of the whole world?
Sun Ziyun: The Lord can't be angry and raise a teacher.
In the same way, the Lord should not rejoice in the Teacher.
Joy and anger are the king's worst enemies.
Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are clear, those who win are powerful, and those who win are strong!
So, this is a test, a three-day test, a test of whether you can become the next king of Chu.
Although most people's humanity cannot stand the test and cannot be tested, the king is different, because the king is the one who has to carry the world forward, and a good king must stand the test.
Therefore, for this test, Xiong Huai deliberately arranged for him to be Tang Wu, the teacher of Gongzi Wangcai, as soon as he got the news of Song Guo, and drove him to the military camp dozens of miles south of the city.
In this way, this is precisely to explore the most true self of Gongzi Wangcai.
Xiong Huai muttered alone in the hall for a long time, and then looked outside the palace, with some expectations and some apprehension: "Wangcai, I hope you don't let the widow down!" β
The next day, that is, the second day when the 300 cars of the Song Kingdom entered Shouchun City.
Many people who heard about yesterday's events wanted to pay homage to Gongzifu's demeanor, and those who were deliberately outside Gongzi's rich mansion immediately made a voice as if they were greatly satisfied:
"Look, Childe is out!"
"This is the son of the Song Kingdom who invited him with a hundred miles of land!"
"And 20,000 gold... Twenty thousand gold... You can exchange it for three hundred... Nope... Six hundredΒ·Β·Β· It's not right, you can change a lot of good flour, you really can't eat it in ten lifetimes!
Childe is so good, too virtuous. β
"Yes, from the carriage of the childe, you can see the demeanor of the childe, it must be extraordinary, unparalleled in the world, if you want to come to all countries in the world, there is no country that can compare with the child."
"Yes, having such a son is really a blessing for the Chu country!"
"Yes! God bless the country of Chu, God bless the king! β
A group of excited people, while sighing, kept surging forward.
Suddenly.
Gongzi Wangcai's carriage was only more than 100 steps away from the house, and it was blocked by the crowd of onlookers on the road and couldn't move.
At this time, the smiling Gongzi Wangcai suddenly felt that the carriage stopped, and the praise around him was constantly ringing and constantly surging to his ears.
While he was in doubt, someone outside the car reported: "Childe, the people want to see Childe's demeanor, so that the road is blocked, what should I do?" β
When Gongzi Wangcai heard this, he was stunned, and after a few breaths, he restrained the smile on his face, then got out of the carriage, stood on the wheel, looked at the people who were stopped not far away by the guards, and said to the people around him with a straight face: "Fathers and brothers, there have been many rumors about me in Shouchun City recently, and Wangcai has also heard of it.
But Wangcai wants to tell everyone that the legends in the city are all rumors, and Wangcai is just an ordinary son, so he should not be praised by everyone, nor should everyone be so onlookers.
Yes, the father and the brother of the Lord are still scattered! β
The onlookers were stunned, and suddenly, a common man shouted: "Childe, you are too modest, if the rumor is a rumor, then why did Song Guo invite Gongzi to serve as Xiangguo!" β
"Yes, it's still a big price of a hundred miles of land and 20,000 gold."
"And it's a gift of three hundred cars."
"Yes, I didn't believe it just now, but now that I see that Childe is so humble, I believe it now!"
"Childe..."
A quarter of an hour later, Sima Jian led his soldiers to arrive, and the road was cleared.
But the onlookers did not disperse for a long time.
Then, Gongzi Wangcai came to the Zhuguo Mansion, which dealt with military affairs, and before he entered the door, he was surrounded by a group of Tang Ignorant doormen and middle- and lower-level officials in the Zhuguo Mansion.
Then, all kinds of praise poured into him like a tidal wave.
Seeing this, Gongzi Wangcai was about to show a smile on his face, but he immediately disappeared, and said with a straight face: "Everyone, I have worked together for several years, and others don't know me, don't you know me either?"
Disperse, disperse, deal with official business. β
When the people heard this, although they did not disperse, they also made a way.
Then, Gongzi Wangcai walked inside together surrounded by everyone, and after walking more than ten steps, he suddenly asked with a smile: "Everyone, do you have any special official business today?" β
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads and said, "No, no..."
"Oh!" Gongzi Wangcai nodded, and walked straight to the place where he was handling official business.
After everyone sent Gongzi Wangcai to the office, they returned to their office one after another.
Walking a little farther, one of them sighed: "The prince is not only about to marry the daughter of the King of Qin, but also invited by the Song State to be the prime minister, the newlywed Yan'er, to serve as the minister of a country, and his name is spread all over the world."
Such a beautiful thing, what a envy of others! β
The other person struck: "Don't think about it, you are not a son, let alone the son of the king of Chu, you can't think of such a beautiful thing." β
