Chapter 711 Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

There are always parents who do a lot for their children's future.

For example, two days ago at the banquet, Zong Ze really took a liking to some young men and women, and when he left a few days later, he took them with him to the northern border.

Zong Ze's move seems to have led them to suffer in the northern border military camp, but can't we tell that they are all officials?

As long as one can gain experience under Zong Ze, his future is self-evident. Even if he is not suitable for the army, as long as Zong Ze says a few good words, how can the saint treat this child unfairly?

Therefore, even those who were not selected, many people went to Zong Ze, hoping that Zong Ze would give them a chance.

But at the same time, there are some parents who love their children so deeply that they are far away from them.

Just as Xia Fengxiang had said to Su Changan that day, the next day after many people came to the palace to ask Su Changan for poems, someone came to Su Changan specifically because his child was chosen by Zong Ze and was going to be taken to the northern border.

The one who was found was a fifth-rank lady, which was a high rank. Her husband had to be a Taizhong Daifu or above official and have made meritorious contributions to receive an imperial decree of such rank.

When she found Su Changan, she kept crying and complaining that she only had one son and she really couldn't bear it.

Su Changan looked at the woman and did not hide anything. He told her the benefits of going to the northern border for training. However, the woman only said that if the people from Mobei were to attack, they would have to go to the battlefield.

Su Changan was silent.

He really didn't know what to say, but seeing the woman's tearful eyes, he nodded to indicate that he would talk to Zong Ze.

The woman was filled with joy.

However, the imperial court actually concealed the fact that the Mobei people had already destroyed the Uighurs, because if it were made public, it would be tantamount to announcing that the Mobei people were about to declare war on Daxia.

It would be better to conceal it temporarily and announce it when the Mobei troops set out. After all, if the Mobei people do not come, the court will lose its credibility. Such matters must be handled with caution.

But the officials knew about these things, so they were sure that the people of Mobei would attack Daxia.

Zong Ze selected a total of seventeen people. In addition to this lady who was granted an imperial decree, a couple also came to Su Changan.

The reason was the same, but the difference was that the child was willing to go, but his parents disagreed. It was the child's deliberate performance at the banquet that caught Zong Ze's attention.

Su Changan was in a dilemma. After all, the person concerned was willing to go, but his parents were not, which made it difficult to deal with.

But looking at the couple's expressions, Su Changan finally nodded and said that he would tell Zong Ze. Only then did the couple leave happily.

There was also an old minister who had retired long ago and came into the palace in person. He was in his eighties or nearly ninety years old, and even Su Wenqing and others had to bow respectfully when they saw him.

The old minister came for his grandson, and was accompanied by his son and daughter-in-law who served as counselors.

When he met Su Changan for the first time, he knelt down and paid his respects, and said that his grandson was chosen by Zong Ze, but was afraid of the battlefield and did not want to go, so he wanted to ask Su Changan for an order to let the child follow Zong Ze to the northern border.

While the old minister was speaking, the woman beside him had a sad face. After all, she would be sent to the northern border where war was about to break out, and as a mother, how could she bear to let her child go?

Su Changan saw through it and said, "If he doesn't want to, I can let Zong Ze choose someone else."

The words were directed to the woman, but the implication was actually a question to the child's mother.

The three old ministers saw what Su Changan was thinking and knew that he was concerned about the relationship between mother and son.

The woman bowed and replied respectfully, "Other children can go to the battlefield, so there is no reason why my son cannot go. Moreover, he was selected by the commander. I am happy that he came back alive with a bright future. If he dies on the battlefield, I will kneel in front of his tablet and admit my mistake."

This is totally wrong.

But coming from this mother, it feels somewhat right.

It was for his son's future, but he was also saying that his son must seize this opportunity to work hard for his future.

The old minister corrected him, "Our Li family has never produced a military commander in our lifetime. It was not easy for this boy to be selected because he has some talent in martial arts. If he comes back alive, I will obey him. If he dies on the battlefield, I will personally open a separate page for him in the family tree! So, please give your order, Your Majesty."

Su Changan issued an order, but at the same time he also planned to talk to Zong Ze about the young man. After all, if he really didn't want to go, and wouldn't work sincerely after he went there, it would be better not to go.

There were only a few people who came to look for him, and it didn't seem like a big deal, but Su Changan felt a little sad.

Moreover, in Luoan City, no one knew whether it was because of this incident or the news leaked from some official’s house, but rumors had already begun to spread in Luoan City that the people from Mobei were coming.

Previously, the sudden recall of generals such as Zhao Wuxiu had puzzled many people in the capital. Now that Zong Ze had done the same, many people were even more excited.

Especially after the Zoroastrianism, many people held their breath.

Until now, if you dare to be a Zoroastrian in Luoan City and wear Zoroastrian patterns or clothes on the street, try it.

Let alone common people, even the scholars took action first!

In addition, the destruction of Goguryeo and Korea made many people in Daxia excited and eager to take action. Many even threatened to join the army in the north, Yan and the Western Regions.

The people in the martial arts world were fine, but the students were even more excited than the people in the martial arts world! They wrote extremely high-pitched and passionate poems, intending to give up writing and join the army.

After Su Changan learned about this from Su Linhan who came to the palace to do business, he smiled.

Since ancient times, students have always been the most passionate people. It has been so in the past and will be so in the future.

but

Su Changan was quite surprised by Xia Yaomo's arrival.

Because of Xia Fengxiang, Xia Yaomo was actually a little afraid to enter the palace.

After arriving at Lingqi Pavilion, Xia Yaomo's first words made Su Changan even more at a loss for words.

Even Shentu Kuyue, who was playing with Lu Cai's snake, the drooling cat, and Xia Fengxiang, who was reading the memorial, all looked at Xia Yaomo.

At that time, Xia Yaomo looked at Su Changan and asked, "Sister-in-law, it's strange, I think I'm engaged to Zhao Huniu."

The word "engagement" was used in a very strange way, as if these two words make it hard not to be curious.

Xia Yaomo then said, "When I woke up, the housekeeper sent the engagement goose over, and it seemed that everyone in the mansion, even Brother Yu, knew about it, but why? I didn't know about it. I even just found out that the engagement partner was Zhao Huniu."

Su Changan looked at Xia Yaomo and wanted to ask, you and Zhao Huniu are so in love with each other that you go for a stroll together whenever you have nothing to do. Everyone in the capital knows about it, don’t you know?

But after all, you can't ask like that.

But before Su Changan could speak, Xia Fengxiang said, "Throw him out of the palace."

Su Changan was confused.

Then Shentu Kuyue took action and really threw it out.

Xia Fengxiang said, "Don't waste time with fools."

After Su Changan hesitated, he felt that what his wife said made sense.

So he lowered his head and continued to write "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".

After I wrote the beginning that day, my wife was curious and wanted to read the whole thing, so I had to write it down.

In Luoan City, the news of Xia Yaomo and Zhao Huniu's engagement naturally spread, mainly because Zhao Wuxiu was too excited and it was difficult to hide it from others.

Xia Yaomo and Zhao Huniu were both very famous in the capital. When everyone knew that they were engaged, they were silent for a long time before saying two words: "Perfect match!"

However, it seems that things are constantly happening in the capital.

Because today, the literary gathering hosted by Her Royal Highness Princess Shu is about to begin.

In fact, many people are curious about why Her Royal Highness the Princess is holding a literary gathering at this time, especially since the Princess of Shu is actually quite sensitive.
