"Perhaps the next time he comes back, his achievements will be enough to get him promoted from sixth-rank lieutenant to fourth-rank mighty general. Then he will climb up step by step, and perhaps in a few years he will be able to become a general."
"After all, several of the great generals in the court are already old, and they will retire in a few years. When the positions are vacant, it will be the world of young people like Chu Yujie."
Having said this patiently, Feng Changye changed the subject.
"But if he comes to you, he will no longer be able to hold the position of sixth-rank lieutenant. He will become a commoner without any official title. He can only be an ordinary teacher."
"Even if he were to take the imperial examination and become the top scorer a few years later, he would still have to start as a lowly seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy."
"It would probably take him ten or twenty years to gradually climb up to a civil official position equivalent to a fourth-rank mighty general..."
"If he had been a military commander, he wouldn't have wasted these twenty years, Xiao'er, do you understand?"
Feng Changye pinched the little guy's face, "So, Xiao'er, do you really want him to be your teacher? Do you think your love for him is for your own good, or for his? Anyone can be your teacher, but his official position and honor can only be fought for and snatched by himself. You can't give it to him."
Feng Yuxiao stared at his father blankly.
He didn't think so much.
He had only thought that if Captain Chu could become a close minister beside him, even if he did not hold an official position for the time being, he would be able to promote Captain Chu to a high position after he ascended the throne...
But he never thought that even if Captain Chu did not rely on his promotion, he could still make great achievements and become a general with his own abilities.
He forgot this.
He suddenly leaned over to his father with a bit of sadness, and whispered, "Is Captain Chu really that powerful? Can he really achieve great success and become a general? But the battlefield is so dangerous, will he die..."
Feng Changye looked down at the sad little cub and gently rubbed his hair.
He didn't know whether Chu Yujie could be a good tutor.
But whether Chu Yujie can be a good general, there is no doubt about that, right?
History has proven Chu Yujie's ability.
Therefore, he didn't want Xiao'er to transfer Chu Yujie to serve him, not entirely because he was sad and jealous, but also because he didn't want to bury this famous general in history.
A man who should have been a famous general and admired by future generations. But if, because of Xiao'er's mischief, he became an unknown retainer in the Prince's Eastern Palace, died in frustration and depression, and history no longer had this man's legend, how sad it would be!
Just looking at the fact that Chu Yujie, a historical figure who has been dead for thousands of years, can make so many girls crazily worship him thousands of years later, you can know how much interest Chu Yujie's existence has added to history. Such a person is the treasure of Daning.
As an emperor, he had to create a group of famous figures in Daning who were worthy of being talked about by future generations.
It is impossible that people a thousand years later can count dozens of famous talented generals and scholars when talking about other dynasties, but when talking about Daning, they can't even count them with ten fingers, right?
That's too shabby.
So, facing his son's question, Feng Changye answered fairly, "Don't underestimate Captain Chu. He really is that powerful. If you don't mess around, he might be a general on par with your uncle. If you give him enough room to grow and let him stay by your grandfather's side, it's possible that he can reach your grandfather's level."
Feng Yuxiao became even more depressed when he heard that his father had affirmed Captain Chu's talent.
So sad.
Captain Chu turned out to be such a great person.
He could not deprive Captain Chu of the opportunity to become a general just because he liked his handsome appearance.
Maybe this is what the emperor said, because you like it, you should help it.
Alas, other princes only understood this tear-jerking life philosophy when they met the woman they loved in their twenties. But he, a little boy, was forced to give up the face he loved. God was really too cruel to such a smart and wise child.
If only he didn't have such a high IQ, he could act recklessly without worrying about ruining Captain Chu's future and insisting on keeping him by his side to serve him.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
His IQ is just so high that he would never do anything to ruin Captain Chu's future.
"..." Feng Changye looked at his son who was nestled in his arms with a melancholy look on his face. He was speechless and his eyes were about to roll to the sky.
He had never seen someone as narcissistic as his son.
You are obviously being sentimental, but you still have to brag about yourself, haha.
It's really not easy for a person to be narcissistic to this extent.
After that, Feng Yuxiao's chattering stopped in the carriage, and the family rode quietly in the carriage into the palace.
After returning to the Taiji Hall, Feng Yuxiao went straight to his own study, "Father, Mother, I'm going to write a letter to Captain Chu, telling him that I can't let him be my tutor anymore..."
Zhu Wuhuan and Feng Changye were both relieved as they watched his little figure running away.
Their boy Xiao'er has the willfulness and mischief of a child, but he is also smart and sensible beyond the reach of ordinary people.
That's great. Very good!
"Be good, Xiao'er, Queen, now it's your turn. Come in, let's settle the score!"
After watching his son run into the study, Feng Changye turned around and looked at Zhu Wuhuan with a forced smile. Before she could turn around and try to slip away, he grabbed her arm and dragged her into the room.
Feng Changye, who was concentrating on settling old scores with his wife behind closed doors, had no idea that the son who made him so happy was hiding in the study and doing something completely different from what he had imagined.
In the luxurious study, the cute little boy Feng Yuxiao sat in front of the small desk built for him, leaning over the table and writing stroke by stroke, very seriously.
But he wrote this:
"Captain Chu, I told my father that I wanted you to be the Crown Prince's tutor, but he disagreed."
"But don't get me wrong, my father isn't jealous of someone with talent. He's a very good person. He just values you, my beloved Lord Chu, so he doesn't approve of my fooling around."
My father said, "My dear Chu, you are a natural born general. If you were given the space to grow, you could become as formidable a figure as my uncle, Zhu Xuanyuan. If you were allowed to learn from my grandfather, you could even reach his level and become a great general who would shock the court. You could reach the pinnacle of your military career."
"But if I ask you to come to my side and be my teacher, not only will I not be able to give you the position of the Crown Prince's Tutor, I will also cause you to lose your position as a Sixth-Rank Lieutenant, leaving you an unknown commoner, perhaps unable to make any splash at all."
[So, my father doesn't approve of my mischief and won't let me harm you.]
But my dear, I don't think I'm fooling around.
"I think you're a talented person, my dear. You have a bright forehead and bright eyes. You look like a top scholar! Believe me, I'm not trying to fool you. I really think you can accomplish great things!"
