Verse 4 turns things around and goes along with the situation

In the study room of Zheng Jing in the palace of Yanping County, Zheng Jing looked at Zheng Kezang, Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan who came together in surprise, and asked, "Zang'er, what are you going to do?" Also pull Yonghua and Guoxuan together? ”

Zheng Kezang looked back at Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan, and under the encouraging gaze of the two, he said: "Father, the son knows that you have been worried about Shi Lang's defection in recent days, so I specially invited the two gentlemen to come together to relieve my father's worries. ”

"Nonsense!" Zheng Jing frowned slightly, and scolded: "What do you know about your little child's family? Isn't it messy enough to be a father? He even dared to bother Yonghua and Guoxuan, do you know how busy Guoxuan's military affairs are? How difficult is it for Yonghua to return to Taiwan once? ”

"Father, don't you worry?" Zheng Kezang had long expected that Zheng Jing would inevitably have this reaction, this was still the reason why he pulled Liu Guoxuan and Chen Jinnan, otherwise, I am afraid that he would be directly blasted out by Zheng Jing, which is why he had to go far and get Liu Guoxuan first. Without waiting for Zheng Jing to reprimand again, Zheng Kezang said confidently: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and Ganluo Twelve is the prime minister!" The son is not young now, why can't he share his father's worries? ”

Zheng Jing was slightly stunned, as if he knew Zheng Kezang for the first time, looked him up and down, and said: "The tone is not small, you dare to compare yourself with Ganluo, for your father, you want to know, how do you want to relieve your worries for your father?" ”

"Erchen begs his father to take back his order and let Shi Lang's family go!" Zheng Kezang responded in a deep voice, and his eyes looked at Zheng Jing without blinking, without revealing the slightest hint of stealing.

Zheng Jing's brows furrowed again, and he flatly refused: "Shi Lang's family is full of beheading, this is a resolution at the court meeting, there is no way to turn around, there is no need to mention this matter again." ”

Zheng Kezang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Father, can you give your son a chance, how about listening to his son finish his words first, and then making a judgment?" Although he had expected that Zheng Jing would not be easily moved by his own words, he did not expect that Liu Guoxuan and Chen Jinnan had already been involved, Zheng Jing was still so faceless, and he didn't even want to listen to Zheng Kezang's reasons. It can be seen that because of this incident, Zheng Jing must have been troubled by Mrs. Dong and her interest group, so that he just wanted to understand the matter quickly, and then ignored his original intention of letting go of Shi Lang's family.

"Needless to say!" Zheng Jingtie didn't want to listen to Zheng Kezang's reasoning, and said in a deep voice: "The decision-making of the imperial court, how can it be changed when it is said, in this way, what prestige does the imperial court have at all?" Well, that's the end of it. ”

......Seeing Zheng Jing so resolute, Zheng Kezang inevitably felt a trace of anxiety in his heart, plus how long has he been with Zheng Jing since he crossed over? What kind of feelings are there to speak of, not to mention that the ancient system of superiority and humility will not work for him at all, and he immediately said a little unpolitely, saying: "Father, if you don't say that, the son feels that the wrong decision must be corrected in time, otherwise the evil consequences caused will be unimaginable." Even the sages said, 'Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and being good is great', and the sons and daughters thought that whether it was an individual or the court, it should be like this. If the father knows that this matter is wrong, but still deliberately ignores it and allows this mistake to continue to happen, then it is a personal stupidity and the darkness of the court! ”

"Presumptuous!" Zheng Jing was furious, and scolded angrily: "Rebel son, who gave you the courage to dare to criticize your father and the court?" What other words of a saint do you have, as a father, I have to ask, where have you learned all the etiquette and teachings you have learned since childhood? Don't you understand what it means to be a 'prince is a minister, and a father is a son'? ”

Zheng Kezang pouted secretly, he looked down on Zheng Jing's style, but he didn't want to continue to stimulate Zheng Jing, forcibly restrained himself and calmed down, and said: "My father is angry, my son is impulsive, and his words are inappropriate, so I ask my father to forgive me!" However, what the child said, every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, it was all for his father, for the Ming Zheng Dynasty, and for my plan to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Yes, lord." Chen Jinnan spoke at the right time to persuade: "Today, His Majesty and Guoxuan listened to the foresight of the prince and were deeply inspired, which is really a far-sighted strategy, and the prince might as well listen to it." ”

Chen Jinnan's face, of course Zheng Jing will give it, softened his tone, and said: "Yonghua, Guoxuan, why are you two also messing around with this rebel?" The reason for this matter, this rebel doesn't know, don't you know either? ”

Liu Guoxuan also said: "The prince's concerns, the last general and Yonghua naturally know. However, just like Yonghua said, the prince is far-sighted, and even his subordinates are greatly admired, and they also feel that they are not thoughtful and cannot solve problems for the prince. Therefore, I also asked the prince to give the prince a chance. ”

The two persuaded each other one after another, and also made it clear that Che Ma and Zheng Kezang had a position, which Zheng Jing never expected. Zheng Jing couldn't figure it out, it stands to reason that Zheng Kezang should have had no contact with these two before, so why could he get such support from the two in just half a day. This also made Zheng Jing have to reacquaint himself with his "good son" who is usually inconspicuous. At the same time, I couldn't help but be curious in my heart, wanting to see how Zheng Kezang persuaded these two. All kinds of thoughts quickly turned in Zheng Jing's mind, whether it was to give his most trusted courtier a face, or to suppress the curiosity in his heart, at this moment, Zheng Jing had to listen to Zheng Kezang's opinion, and after looking at Zheng Kezang with great meaning, he said: "Okay, since Yonghua and Guoxuan have said so, I will give you a chance for my father, what is your reason, let's talk about it." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Zheng Kezang breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that the matter was halfway through, but he couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake in the future, otherwise not only would he not be able to convince Zheng Jing and his previous efforts would be wasted, but also Liu Guoxuan and Chen Jinnan's impression of him would be greatly reduced. Zheng Kezang sorted out his thoughts, and calmly processed, deepened, and eloquently re-processed and deepened the words to Liu Guoxuan and Chen Jinnan in the afternoon.

"Knock, knock, knock......" Zheng Jing closed his eyes slightly, tapped on the bookcase, and quietly pondered Zheng Kezang's opinion.

Zheng Kezang stared at Zheng Jing who closed his eyes and pondered, seeing that he didn't react for a long time, no matter how confident Zheng Kezang was, he couldn't help but feel a trace of apprehension in his heart.

And what about Zheng Jing? The heart is also not calm, and it is fiercely weighed. As the king of Yanping County, the actual helmsman of the Ming Zheng Dynasty, he is really Alexander, the Ming Zheng Dynasty is not his word, he still has to balance the interests of all parties, and he can't help but be careful everywhere. Therefore, even though Zheng Jing clearly agreed with Zheng Kezang's opinion in his heart, he had to think about it again, measure and measure.

"Knock, knock, knock......" The atmosphere in the study became more and more solemn, just the crisp sound of Zheng Jing tapping on the bookcase, and I don't know how long it took, as if several years had passed in Zheng Kezang's feelings. Zheng Kezang has never been so nervous, and the crisp sound seems to hit Zheng Kezang's heart every time. Zheng Kezang secretly laughed at himself: "My kung fu to nourish qi is still not enough, this matter has just begun, so I suffer from gains and losses, I can't hold my breath, what if I face the next difficulties?" It seems that I will really have to hone it again in the future......"

"Knock!" The last crisp sound, as if representing Zheng Jing's determination, was exceptionally crisp and heavy. Zheng Jing suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone! After the old butler Fu Bo, who had been waiting at the door, walked in quickly, he ordered: "Ah Fu, you take my letter of order to the prison and release Shi Lang's family, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Huh......" Zheng Kezang secretly sighed, knowing that the matter was finally done by him, and completely put his heart in his stomach.

"The old slave understands, so let's do it." Fu Bo bowed down to receive the order, secretly glanced at Zheng Kezang, who was as pale as usual, and wanted to leave on an errand.

"Slow!" Zheng Kezang hurriedly spoke out to stop Uncle Zheng, and suggested to Zheng Jing: "Father, the son thinks it's inappropriate to let Shi Lang's family go like this." Or rather, it's just a big inappropriate thing to let Shi Lang's family go. ”

"Oh?" At this time, Zheng Jing would no longer underestimate Zheng Kezang's precious son, so Zheng Kezang interrupted his decision again, and he was not angry, but asked calmly: "Zang'er, do you think there is anything wrong with arranging it for your father?" ”

Zheng Kezang calmly replied: "Erchen doesn't dare!" Father, but the son is worried that even if we release Shi Lang's family today, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be angry and secretly kill the killer! "The person this refers to, it goes without saying, Zheng Jing and the four of them all know in their hearts, who else can there be besides Mrs. Dong. Glancing at the four people who silently agreed with his words, Zheng Kezang changed his words and said: "Even if the sons are too worried, we still have to 'protect' the Shi Lang family tightly." You must know that protecting Shi Lang's family this time is not without the intention of secretly containing Shi Lang, so we must also be careful not to let Shi Lang's family escape from Taiwan. If that really happens, it will really be a loss to the wife and the army, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zheng Jing thought about it for a while, then agreed with Zheng Kezang's words, nodded and said, "Yes, it's because my father is not thoughtful." Zang'er, what about your opinion? ”

Zheng Kezang turned his head to look at Liu Guoxuan and said with a smile: "Father, my son thinks that it is most appropriate to hand over the Shi Lang family to General Liu's 'protection'. Well, among the people that my father trusts the most at the moment, only Mr. Chen and General Liu can 'protect' Shi Lang's family, but Mr. Chen is not in Taiwan all the year round, so only General Liu is left; secondly, General Liu and Shi Lang have an old relationship, and the family who wants to come to Shi Lang will not refuse General Liu's 'protection'. ”

Zheng Jing looked at Zheng Kezang meaningfully, then looked at Liu Guoxuan, and asked, "Guoxuan, what do you mean?" ”

Liu Guoxuan clenched his fists and took the order: "Don't worry, Guoxuan will take Shi Lang's family to the mansion and 'protect' them well." In my heart, I also secretly suffered from Zheng Kezang's favor. On the surface, this Shi Lang family is a hot potato, and taking it over not only offends Mrs. Dong even further, but also strictly defends them at all times, so as not to give them a chance to escape from Taiwan. But it is precisely because this matter is so troublesome, the greater its credit, one day, a counterattack on the Qing court, or the Qing court to commit a large-scale attack, against Shi Lang, it will be even more miraculous. Moreover, Liu Guoxuan also believes that of course it is not only him and Chen Jinnan who can handle this matter well, Feng Xifan, who is also Taiwan's three masters, should also be a personal choice, but Zheng Kezang deliberately omitted him, this is not a betrayal of favors, and why? However, Liu Guoxuan didn't know that at the beginning of the fight, Zheng Kezang excluded Feng Xifan, because he was very worried about this guy's character.

Zheng Jing was very relieved of Liu Guoxuan's arrangement and said, "Okay! Let's do it according to Guoxuan's wishes, it's hard work. ”

Liu Guoxuan said to himself: "Don't dare, this is what your subordinates should do." ”

Seeing that Zheng Jing had no other instructions, and the four of them still had something to discuss, Fu Bo bowed down and retreated silently, and before going out, he took a deep look at Zheng Kezang, surprised by Zheng Kezang's ability in this matter, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would befriend him even more in the future.

The business has been settled, the atmosphere in the study is relaxed, Zheng Jing looked at Zheng Kezang with a smile, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Zang'er, you have done a good job in this matter, tell me, how do you want your father to reward you?" ”

Zheng Kezang knew that it was time to "sit in a row and divide the fruits", so he was not polite, and bowed down and asked: "Father, don't give other rewards to your sons, I just want to worship Liu Guoxuan as a teacher, learn martial arts and strategies well, and be able to better share my father's worries in the future, and ask my father to agree!" "Zheng Ke is hiding as the son of the king of Yanping County, and it is very likely that he will take over the position of the king of Yanping County in the future.

Zheng Jing smiled: "Agreed!" Of course the Father would agree! Guoxuan has assisted his father for many years, and Wen Tao is very martial, even if he is a father, he is also greatly respected; And speaking of this martial art, although it is not famous, it will definitely not be inferior to Yonghua and Xifan. Such a good master, but he can't find it with a lantern, how can a father stop him. However, this matter has to be done by Guo Xuan's willingness. As he spoke, he looked at Liu Guoxuan and asked, "Guoxuan, what do you mean?" ”

Zheng Kezang also looked at Liu Guoxuan with anticipation.

Liu Guoxuan said with a smile: "The prince loves him, the prince is extraordinary, and he can accept the prince as an apprentice, and his subordinates are overjoyed." These are Liu Guoxuan's psychological words, not to mention that Zheng Kezang is the first heir to the throne of Yanping County, just in this short half a day of contact, Liu Guoxuan has been extremely satisfied with Zheng Kezang, and has recognized him from the bottom of his heart.

"Meet the master!" Zheng Kezang was overjoyed and bowed down to pay homage to Liu Guoxuan.

"Good!" Zheng Jing was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Zang'er, how can you be so hasty in worshiping Guoxuan as a teacher, tonight I will hold a banquet in the mansion for my father, and personally preside over your apprenticeship ceremony." ”

"Thank you, Father." "Thank you, Lord Wang." Zheng Kezang and Liu Guoxuan thanked each other in unison.

Chen Jinnan also smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, and of course congratulations to Guoxuan."
