After laughing for a while, Zheng Rong pointed at Qiu Yizhi again and said, "Yizhi, it's your turn." ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly said: "Yizhi is not a person on the famous brand, how dare he compete with several brothers?" Today's wine order, please ask the emperor to spare me! ”

Zheng Rong said angrily: "What brand is not famous?" As I said earlier, I don't have to be polite today. In addition, since you were considered by me as a righteous son, everything is no different from my own sons, so don't say such nonsense in the future. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, a hot current surged through his heart, and his eyes were already full of tears.

Although Zhong Li Kuang didn't say it, in fact, among the four disciples, Qiu Yizhi was the most important in his heart, and when he saw that he was emotional, he was already a little out of shape, so he hurriedly made a round and said: "Yizhi, since the emperor has a decree, you can answer it well." ”

Qiu Yizhi agreed, pondered for a moment, and said: "The word is it, and the addition is also Qi." Remove the Qi side point, and the arrears will become a bully - Longyou was played by shrimp in shallow water, and Tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. ”

Everyone was reminiscing, but they saw Emperor Zheng Rong standing up from his seat, staring at Qiu Yizhi solemnly, and asked, "Yizhi, what do you mean by this wine order?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was asked by the emperor like this, and couldn't help but tremble, where could he still sit still, and hurriedly got up and said: "I'm just talking nonsense, I didn't do well, and I ask the emperor to punish me." ”

"No, you're not talking nonsense, it's your heartfelt words!" Zheng Rong is colorful.

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he became more and more afraid, thinking that he had offended the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme Emperor by which he had said, so he hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and said: "The emperor's lesson is that the minister does have some resentment in his heart, disturbing the interest of the saint, and it is really a crime that deserves death." ”

But I heard Zheng Rong say: "I am a person who tolerates the world, can't I listen to your little resentment?" Let me tell you, I am not afraid to hear good words, nor am I afraid to listen to bad words, I am afraid that I will not hear the truth. As soon as you were appointed to the county in Qiu Yizhi, a case that was set in stone was refuted by some small officials, and you were reprimanded for no reason, of course you will have resentment. What does it mean to tell the truth? That's the truth! If I punish you for this, then who will dare to be honest with me in the future? ”

As soon as Zheng Rong's words came out, Qiu Yizhi was immediately touched by his heart, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing down, lying on the ground and sobbing.

But I heard Zheng Rong say again: "You Qiu Yizhi is a person who has made great contributions in front of me, and you have a father-son relationship with me, although you are just a small county now, but you have the meaning of sharpening and training in it, how can you let those pickled bureaucrats practice at will?" ”

Zheng Rong turned his head and said to Zheng Xin: "Although there are still some doubts about the case that Yi Zhibai said, I discussed it with Mr. Zhongli, and the case should indeed be like this. This time, when you go down to Jiangnan to judge the case, you must enforce the law impartially, and you must not be kind to the city privately, and when you encounter shameless and greedy officials, you must mercilessly dispose of a group of them. ”

Zheng Xin listened, hurriedly got up, and said: "Father's will, son-in-law understands." ”

Zheng Rong nodded, the corners of his mouth raised, a smile appeared on his face again, and said to Qiu Yizhi, who was kneeling on the ground: "Alas, how can you eat well, and when you talk about state affairs again, Yizhi, sit down." He said to Zheng Sen again, "Zheng Sen, it's been a long time, have you come up with a wine order?" ”

Zheng Sen hurriedly said: "I thought of it, I thought of it." Here's how it is: the word water is water, and the two points are ice; Remove the two points, and the lying corpse is urine—eating and dressing, and urinating on shit. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.

Zhong Li Kuang said with a gloomy face: "Zheng Sen, what kind of wine order did you make?" It's really stinky, aren't you afraid of spoiling your taste? After that, I couldn't help but laugh.

Zheng Sen muttered and said, "I said that I can't do it well, but you ask me to do it." If you do it indecently, you want to scold me again......"

Zheng Rong smiled and said, "Your master is right, he did not do well and deserves to be punished!" You yourself say what you should be punished, right? ”

Zheng Sen scratched his head and said, "That's good." Two days ago, I went to the military department, and it happened that Lord Wei Chi was practicing the army, saying that my sword skills were too stupid and stupid. Then I'll play a trick on my father, master, and a few brothers here, and sacrifice ugliness, even if I am punished! ”

After he finished speaking, he got up and subconsciously touched the place where the saber was originally hanging on his waist, and when he touched it, he found that there was only one belt left empty, so he had to helplessly stick out his tongue and said: "Erchen, this ugly can't come out, my knife was stored on the guard's side when it entered the palace." ”

Zheng Rong smiled when he heard this: "I am the emperor who leads the troops to fight, and I am still missing the sword and sword?" Two days ago, Japan also paid tribute to a few Japanese swords, so why don't you just go into the palace and choose one? ”

When Zheng Sen heard this, he hurriedly agreed and ran towards the Shuli Palace, and returned to the shed after a while, with a treasure knife in his hand.

He bowed to everyone present and said, "Then I will be ugly!" With that, he pulled out his sword, put on a posture, and then danced up and down.

This move was "stupid and stupid" in the eyes of Yu Chi Lianghong, but in the eyes of Qiu Yizhi and others, it was extremely hearty and aggressive.

I saw Zheng Sen put away the knife, wiped his sweat with his sleeve very casually, and said: "Erchen is such a set of knife techniques, he can't enter the eyes of his father, even if he admits punishment." ”

Zheng Rong said: "Your set of knife techniques is also proficient, but you are too rigid in moves and don't know how to be flexible, no wonder Yu Chi Lianghong said that you are stupid and stupid." ”

Zheng Sen couldn't help but nod his head and said, "Yes, yes, that's what Lord Yuchi said about me, exactly the same as what my father said." ”

In fact, Zheng Rong didn't see any shortcomings in Zheng Sen's sword technique, but he just pushed it out from Yu Chi Lianghong's comments, but he didn't want to secretly agree with what the first master of martial arts said, so he couldn't help but be proud, so he said: "It's enough for you to kill the enemy with such a knife technique, but if you meet a real master, you will inevitably suffer." In this way, the sword in your hand will be rewarded to you, you have to follow Yu Chi Lianghong to learn martial arts, don't let others say that my Zheng family can only embroider legs. ”

This reward was much more valuable than the 100 stone rice that Zheng Xin got and the cart of spring water that Zheng Miao obtained, which made Zheng Sen immediately smile.

But I heard Zheng Xin say: "Brother is a blessing in disguise, but he has to be white!" ”

Zheng Sen was also overjoyed in his heart, and immediately poured himself a full bottle of wine and drank it happily.

So the crowd drank until the second half of the night, and then they dispersed. Zheng Rong spent the night in the Shuli Palace. Zhong Likuang, Zheng Xin, Zheng Sen, Zheng Miao and Qiu Yizhi each laughed and went out of the palace.

Zheng Xin and the other three princes each have their own palaces, needless to say, Qiu Yizhi has a very good relationship with Zheng Miao, so he stayed in his mansion.

Because he slept late last night, Qiu Yizhi didn't wake up until noon the next day, and asked the people in the palace, but he knew that Zheng Miao had not returned in the morning, and in desperation, Qiu Yizhi had to wait patiently.

After waiting for only half an hour, Zheng Miao had already returned to the palace, he had not eaten in the morning and was already hungry, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare lunch and chat with Qiu Yizhi while eating.

The two brothers, since they got acquainted, have been inseparable since they met, and have never been separated for months in more than ten years like now, so they have a car to say. So the two chatted and chatted happily.

But when he heard Zheng Miao's words, he said, "I don't know how long the virtuous brother will stay in Beijing this time?" My two brothers would have been able to talk for as many days as they did today. ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "This time is different from the past. I still have an official position, and if I have been absent from work for a long time, it will inevitably lead to impeachment from my superiors. Tomorrow, I will take turns to visit the master, the eldest brother, the second brother, as well as the elders of the old people such as the prince of Heluo and Marshal Dai, and after saying a few words to Chi Lianghong, I will leave Beijing. ”

Zheng Miao said: "Brother's words are funny. Except for your father, you are the only one on your head, Mr. Zhongli. Our brothers are on an equal footing with you, so what are we doing to ignore those cowardly bureaucrats? In my opinion, don't go back, now is the time to employ people, it's really condescending for you to be a sesame official, wouldn't it be better to stay with your father and share the worries of his old man? You and I can see each other often. ”

Qiu Yizhi glanced at his third brother, and knew that he was the most generous among the brothers, and he naturally couldn't tell him about taking the initiative to ask to go out and become a small county official in order to avoid trouble. So I had to sigh and say: "In the past year, I have been physically and mentally exhausted, and I can't stand it anymore, I think it is a great blessing to be an idle magistrate." I also want all my brothers to work sparingly, and not to work too hard. ”

Zheng Miao nodded, but said: "I listened to my father's intention last night, it seems that I want to follow the example of Jiangnan officialdom and rectify the rule of the world." This is a big article about the long-term stability of the imperial court, and if it really wants to be laid out, the implication must be very widespread. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to Zheng Miao's words, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart: the emperor just missed a little bit at the banquet last night, and his third brother had already guessed the emperor's mental technique, so smart and sensitive, no wonder the emperor wanted to pass on the throne to him.

However, such words must not be said explicitly, otherwise disaster will not follow.

So Qiu Yizhi raised his glass and took a sip of wine, changed the topic and said: "It is said that the elder brother is in charge of the Ministry of Rites by order, and the third brother should be in charge of the affairs of welcoming and sending off the foreign domain. Therefore, I am here to ask my brother for a convenience, send me a door, so that I can go to the Siyi Pavilion tomorrow to meet the county lord of Yiran, okay? ”

Zheng Miao's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Why don't you know?" Not long after you left Beijing, the county lord of Yiran went back to the grassland to recuperate due to unaccustomed water and soil and poor health. Now the Bohai State is staying in Luoyang to handle affairs, but it is Prince Urdon, the son of Dali Khan. ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard this, and said secretly: "This Yiran, why don't you tell me, even if you send a letter, it's good......"

Zheng Miao also knew that Qiu Yi and Yiran had a special affection for each other, and they didn't want to be mixed in it, so they toasted Qiu Yi with a glass of wine and said, "Brother means to stay only for two more days?" I think it's too hasty. Since you insist on going back to be the magistrate of this county, it is better to take this opportunity to meet and talk with your father and the emperor more. To tell you the truth, whenever we can't handle political or military affairs, my father always praises you a few words! ”

Qiu Yizhi was most afraid that his father-in-law, the unfathomable emperor of the city, would still talk about himself from time to time, so he hurriedly opened the topic and perfunctory past, and after he was full of wine and food, he said goodbye, and left the palace and went to meet guests.

One afternoon, Qiu Yizhi visited Zheng Sen, the second highness, and Zheng Hua, the king of Heluo. Zheng Sen is also a busy man now, and when he can't say a few words, countless military affairs come to the door, and Qiu Yizhi is inconvenient to bother, so he hurriedly said a few words, and then left to leave.

However, Zheng Hua, the king of Heluo, still looked out of the world, he was happy to see Qiu Yizhi, and heard that he had a friendship with the famous celebrity "Mr. Bansong", and after a lot of talking, he reluctantly let Qiu Yizhi leave.

Rao is like this, and when he walks down in a circle, it is already night.

Qiu Yizhi didn't want to disturb Zheng Miao any more, so he went out for dinner before returning to Zheng Miao's palace, and went back to his guest room to sleep without Zheng Miao's notification.
