My father's consideration had been told to the two brothers when he returned to Beijing to visit relatives last time, and the two brothers also agreed with their father's idea very much, thinking that it was better to stay in Yangzhou before Tan Xiaotian officially became a disciple of the Zheng family, and even if he became a disciple of the Zheng family in the future, it was best to keep a low profile for a long time, so as not to be calculated by competition.

However, this time Zheng Xing came to Yangzhou with a handwritten letter from his father, specifically instructing him to take Tan Xiaotian to the capital, isn't this contrary to the training plan instructed by his father at the beginning of the year? What made the father change his mind, or what was the reason? Although Zheng Xing has worked in the Zheng family for many years, he can be regarded as a trustworthy confidant, but the so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, what if it is an opponent who is against the Zheng family to bribe Zheng Xing at a high price, let him falsely spread the holy decree, and deceive Tan Xiaotian out of the control of the Zheng family brothers? If that's the case, even if the Zheng family's power can find the other party and cut it with a thousand cuts, how can the loss of a genius seedling who is rare to see in a hundred years be able to afford the life of a housekeeper?

Therefore, while inquiring about the situation, Zheng Jifu carefully checked the handwriting and language habits of the letter to determine whether the letter really came from his father's hand.

"Yes, that's what the lord commanded." Zheng Xing nodded and replied.

"Did he tell you anything?" After carefully checking the handwriting, it was indeed his father's handwriting, and the choice of words and sentences and tone were similar to his father's habits, so Zheng Jifu put the letter on the coffee table and asked.

"The eldest lord told me that you must be very careful on the way back with Tan Xiaotian this time, you must not make any mistakes, and you must not leak the news, go and come back quickly, and you must bring Tan Xiaotian back to the capital before August." Zheng Xing replied.

"Uh, why does it have to be before August?" Listening to what Zheng Xing said, Zheng Jifu's brows couldn't help but wrinkle - it's late May. It is only 60 days from the full count in August, and the distance alone is still generous, but Yangzhou to the capital is thousands of miles away, and there are mountains and rivers along the way, who dares to say that there will be no accidents during the journey? Since I went home to visit relatives once, because of the heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Luan River, the river water swelled for days, and the boat and raft were difficult to cross, so I crossed the river half a month later, so this time is actually not safe, in addition, although Tan Xiaotian is a student of the Jiangdu Chess Academy. But if you want to send him to the capital for further study, you must first ask for the consent of Tan Xiaotian's aunt Qiu Ju, if Qiu Ju does not agree, this matter cannot be done, otherwise Qiu Ju can file a lawsuit and sue the Jiangdu Chess Academy for human trafficking. Although the Jiangdu Chess Academy has not sent or invited Qiu Ju to Yangzhou to talk about this matter, according to the original plan, they have two years to slowly figure out a way, but now the requirements must be before August. Is it too late for such a short time?

"This old man didn't tell me" Zheng Xing replied, but he wanted to say something, obviously he knew something, but vainly speculating about the master's intentions was a taboo as a subordinate. So he couldn't take the initiative to say, he could only wait for Zheng Jifu to ask.

"What do you know? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. Zheng Xing's expression was very obvious, Zheng Jifu could see it clearly, he was also the school supervisor in charge of hundreds of people. I've seen too much of this kind of expression that wants to make a small report but doesn't want to take responsibility, and with a wave of his hand, he said in a slow tone. Signal that no matter what the other party says, even if it is wrong, you will not be held responsible.

got the hint from the other party, Zheng Xing continued.

", the villain doesn't dare to speculate on what the big master thinks, but there is one thing that should be related to this decision."

Emperor Jiande celebrates his 50th birthday this year, and a birthday banquet will be held in the imperial city on September 10, when the emperor will give amnesty to the world, take a three-day holiday, and enjoy with the people and celebrate with the sky."

"Emperor Jiande's youngest daughter, Princess Crescent, had the same birthday as him, and she just turned seven years old this year, because of this reason, Emperor Jiande was very fond of this daughter, so he decided to spend this birthday with his youngest daughter, and he had to prepare a gift for his favorite little daughter's birthday, and this gift must be liked by Princess Crescent."

What kind of good things have you never seen, what kind of good things have you not eaten? What kind of good clothes are not worn? It was so easy to satisfy the little girl, so Emperor Jiande asked Princess Crescent what gift he wanted. Princess Crescent's reply was, 'Father, I want a child who can play with me and teach me how to play chess.' ’”

Emperor Jiande felt strange, the little princess likes to play chess, he naturally knows, since the age of five has asked the chess of the Hanlin Academy to teach chess skills, I am afraid that it is not interesting to learn chess alone, and specially invited the daughters and granddaughters of several princes and ministers to accompany her to learn chess skills, there are national players of the Hanlin Academy, accompanied by peers of the same age, to learn and learn, to have fun, how can you feel dissatisfied?"

", and then asked, Princess Crescent's answer was, 'The teacher who teaches chess is too dull, one by one with a serious face, talking in a tone and tone, very boring, as for those playmates who read with them, it is okay to play the game, but the level of chess is too poor, and at the same time learning chess, now I can easily let three children, and it is not interesting to win."

Emperor Jiande thought about it, the little princess's thoughts were not strange, she was a princess, although she was still young, but she was also a golden branch and jade leaf, how many of the chess edicts dared to treat her like an ordinary student? You must know that if you accidentally provoke the little princess, you will be reprimanded at best, and you may ruin your future at worst, so you mostly have the idea of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault to deal with errands. As for those playmates who accompany the study - there are few girls who like to play chess, but what a glory it is to accompany the princess to learn chess, the parents of those girls are princes and nobles who are officials in the court, and they will definitely not give up such an opportunity, the so-called interest is the biggest motivation for learning, one is really studious, one is to cope with errands, please the princess, different mentalities and the gap in talent, it is not impossible to open up the chess power to the third son in two years, so that the little princess wants to find someone who can teach herself to play chess, The desire of a playmate of similar age is understandable. ”

"Knowing the little princess's thoughts, Emperor Jiande discussed the matter with several close ministers after a court meeting, how to find a little different in age, can play with the little princess, and can teach the little princess to play chess, although the matter is not big, but there is no small matter related to the royal family."
