Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty asked the prince again: "What about the remaining two?" ”

"Father said that the son of the Xie family and cousin Yan?"

The prince thought for a moment and said:

"Gongzi Xie is both civil and military, born in a family of military generals, but he is outstanding in learning, if he can stay by his son's side, he will definitely be able to urge his son not to slack off."

"And Cousin Yan has a strict temperament, and he has been taught by his grandfather since he was a child, so he is not bad in all aspects."

"Both of them are excellent, and Erchen doesn't know what to choose."

When Shen Fengnian heard that the prince was actually biased towards Xie Qingheng, his heart jumped slightly, but he endured it.

When Emperor Ming Xuan heard this, he said: "Then Xie Qingheng is indeed a good one, but Yan Zhen ......."

He subconsciously thought of the grandfather in the prince's mouth, that is, Yan Mingji, the father of Empress Yan who died early, and couldn't help frowning in an instant.

"Your grandfather is a stubborn temper, arrogant, inflexible, and stereotypical and eccentric, if Yan Zhen was really taught by him since he was a child, I don't know what he will be taught to be."

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty remembered Yan Zhen, who was not smiling at the top of the main hall just now, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he had a straight face like a little old man, so that he could see Yan Mingji's shadow directly from him.

Emperor Ming Xuan couldn't help but shake his head: "No, that's not good." ”

He had a headache when he saw Yan Mingji, but he couldn't add such trouble to his son's side.

What's more, the Yan family is the prince's mother, even if Yan Zhen can't choose this time, the Yan family will still be used by the prince and assist the prince wholeheartedly, so it is better to choose another one for him.

Ge Zhang said on the side: "Then only Xie Qingheng is left." ”

Shen Fengnian's heart jumped slightly: "But he was born in a family of military generals......"

"What about the general's house."

Ge Zhang didn't think as much as Shen Fengnian thought, and said directly: "I see that Xie Qingheng is a good person, his appearance is not bad, his temperament is not bad, and his talent is not lost to others, and he is good at martial arts, and the prince can protect him with many people." ”

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty also opened his mouth when he heard this: "I also think that the kid of the Xie family is good. ”

"Xie Yuan is a loyal and brave person, the Xie family is upright, and the child's character is naturally not bad."

After speaking, as if he remembered something, he said to Shen Fengnian:

"By the way, I remember Shen Xiang, you are still Xie Qingheng's uncle, you don't shy away from your relatives, but you don't belittle your own nephew like this, it's good for me to look at him."

When Shen Fengnian saw Emperor Ming Xuan say this, he could only suppress the words of opposition in his heart, and couldn't help complaining that Xie Qingheng did not perform as well as he said before, but was so outstanding that he directly attracted the eyes of Emperor Ming Xuan.

Shen Fengnian could only say: "The minister is worried that he will not agree with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"You, you just think too much, and I see that the prince is quite satisfied with him."

After Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty finished speaking, the crown prince said beside him:

"What my father said is that his son also thinks that he and Xie Qingheng will definitely get along."

Emperor Ming Xuan laughed when he heard this: "You have a gentle temperament, but it is rare to hear this kind of words in your mouth, since you feel agreeable, then choose Xie Qingheng." ”

The crown prince smiled and said, "Thank you, father." ”

……

After a few people talked in the palace for a while, Emperor Ming Xuan asked Zhou Lian to go out to deliver the decree, but he himself suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Wenfu: "Zirong, why are you so quiet today?" I haven't seen you say anything for a long time? ”

Qi Wenfu stood aside and replied when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, do you think that Weichen talks too much on weekdays?" ”

"Weichen still thinks that in the eyes of His Majesty, Weichen is a serious person."

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, and after finally swallowing it, he felt that the tea was rushing towards his throat.

Emperor Xuan of Ming coughed lightly and glared at Qi Wenfu:

"Qi Wenfu, did I give you the guts? Do you even dare to make jokes about me? ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

Seeing Qi Wenfu obediently being trained, he lowered his eyes and looked like he didn't say anything just now.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty put down the teacup and sneered: "I look at you as the most indecent, be careful when I take off your official hat and let you beg on the street!" ”

When Qi Wenfu heard this, he said: "Then Your Majesty remembers to give the minister a golden rice bowl and let the minister beg for it." ”

“……”

Even Emperor Ruming Xuan was shocked by the thickness of his skin.

Ge Zhang watched the interaction between the two from the side, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Qi, you are not kind, you have been punished by His Majesty for begging, and you have to take a golden rice bowl, be careful to go out and be beaten." ”

Emperor Ming Xuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "That is, if you really beg when you go back, I will reward you with a broken bowl, and you will be remembered by thieves when you go out." ”

When Xie Qingheng and the others came in, they heard laughter inside.

After approaching, I saw that Emperor Ming Xuan seemed to be in a very good mood, with a smile in his eyes, and the prince next to him also raised the corners of his mouth.

When Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty said that Xie Qingheng would be able to assist the prince in the future, Ji Zhao's eyes were full of surprise, and Yan Zhen looked puzzled.

It's Cao Li, he already knew that he couldn't be selected, no matter how good he was, the emperor and the prince would not choose him, so his complexion was the most normal one.

But he didn't know that his performance fell in the eyes of Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, but it became quite a city.

After a few people knelt down and saluted, Emperor Ming Xuan let the prince and Xie Qingheng get close to each other, and Taifu Gezhang also followed, while the other three people gave a few words of encouragement, and after each gave a jade jue, they let them retreat.

After the others left, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty spoke: "This Cao Li is a deep city. ”

Qi Wenfu said: "It's not a city government. ”

Seeing Emperor Xuan of Ming looking at him, he continued:

"Didn't the Cao family and the Xie family make some trouble before, Weichen heard that Lord Cao vomited blood on the spot, and the night before he had Cao Li brought Cao Li back from the Guozi Prison overnight, I heard that he was sick and couldn't get out of bed."

"Cao Li may not have thought about winning this exam, or maybe he was worried about Lord Cao's illness, so his mind is not on this matter."

"But speaking of which, Lord Cao was seriously ill by the children of the Xie family, and now that the emperor has chosen the son of the Xie family to follow the prince, the Cao family is afraid that it will be even worse, and I don't know if Lord Cao will think about it."

"Worrying about illness is not conducive to recovery."

Emperor Ming Xuan's face suddenly sank when he heard this: "It's just a matter of a few children messing around, how can you be angry and sick, and besides, who I pick for the prince, I still want him Cao Xiong to have the final say?" What could he think more? ”

Qi Wenfu said on the side:

"But Weichen heard that the Cao family has been inviting a doctor to come over in the past two days."

"And there are also rumors in the market that the people of the Xie family are bullying, and the old lady Xie is even more fierce, not only seriously injured Cao Xiong with a whip, but also vomited blood and fell into a coma afterwards, and has not woken up yet."
