1923 Sincere Conversation 3
Chu Ye suddenly gave this great gift, Zhao Bai stood up in shock and said quickly, "Your Highness can't do it, and the lower officials can't afford it!"
He was about to kneel down when he spoke, but Chu Ye reached out to hold his arm, "Master Zhao doesn't need to be polite, I... I came here today just to chat with Master Zhao and the old man casually, not for political affairs, Master Zhao doesn't need to be nervous."
Zhao Bai was held by Chu Ye and did not kneel down, but he was still worried and nervous.
"Then your highness, please sit down. Just say whatever you want." Zhao Bai murmured, "Your Highness is so polite, and the official is really ashamed of you."
Compared to Zhao Bai's nervousness and anxiety, Mr. Zhao was very calm.
He looked at Chu Ye and showed a gentle smile on his face, "Caomin is fortunate to come to Beijing to meet the emperor once. So many years have passed, I wonder if the emperor is still healthy?"
After receiving the umbrella of Wanmin, Emperor Longzong heard about it and sent an order to let him go to Beijing. At that time, Dad Zhao only wanted to be a small official for the rest of his life, but he never thought that he would have the chance to go to Beijing to meet the emperor.
For him, that was a great honor. It would be a great blessing for a seventh-rank official like him to meet the emperor once in his life.
"The father is in good health and has always been healthy." Chu Ye didn't expect that Dad Zhao had even come to Beijing to meet Emperor Longzong. This really surprised him very much. "I'm sorry, the old man is concerned."
Dad Zhao waved his hand, "Caomin has been a small county magistrate for life. If he is summoned by the emperor, he is lucky to be able to see the beauty of the gods."
Zhao Bai didn't know about Dad Zhao's visit to Beijing to meet Emperor Longzong. If Dad Zhao didn't say it today, he might never know it in his life.
"Although the old man just became a county magistrate, he is already a rare good official in his position." Chu Ye still admires Dad Zhao very much. For him, being able to do practical things for the people is a good official. "Many high-ranking officials do not do political work in his position, but instead do a lot of things that harm the people. No matter how big an official such a person becomes, he will be scolded in the end."
Dad Zhao agreed with what Chu Ye said. He nodded unconsciously, "It's true. Since you are a parent official, you have to act like a parent official. As for the others... what is not yours is not yours. As long as you do what you should do, you can eat and sleep with peace of mind no matter what time it is. This is enough."
Chu Ye agreed with Dad Zhao's words. He really didn't expect to meet someone like Dad Zhao in Jiangnan who lived a clear life.
"Yes, I'll be able to be at ease in my life. Nothing else matters is important anymore." Chu Ye nodded, and his eyes fell on Zhao Bai again as he spoke, "Master Zhao, are you talking about what we are saying right?"
Zhao Bai did not speak, but frowned and lowered his head to think.
He was not a stupid person, so he naturally knew what Chu Ye and Dad Zhao said, just for him to hear.
Seeing that Zhao Bai didn't say anything, Chu Ye didn't continue to say anything, but looked at Dad Zhao again.
