Although the weather is hot, the lake pavilion in the back garden is definitely a good place to enjoy a cool drink.

Xiao Tingyi deliberately opened a good wine to entertain King Ming.

Speaking of which, the relationship between their brothers is already extraordinarily harmonious.

In order not to hurt his family, he voluntarily left the capital, and each silently contributed to the great cadres, but they never came back, like this for King Ming, and so for King Ding.

In their hearts, after all, their relatives are much more important.

Not only the brothers, but also their wives and children, if they stay in the capital, if something really happens, it will inevitably not be affected.

But leaving, but it can also protect them well.

Now, they are no longer young, and they are even more reluctant to live a peaceful life that they are used to.

What could be happier than having loved ones and loved ones safe and having them all by their side?

"Brother Huang, I respect you."

Xiao Tingyi insisted on filling the wine glass for King Ming, and then picked up his own wine glass, and said with emotion, "When the Seventh Emperor Brother left, I couldn't drink yet, but now, I finally have a chance." ”

King Ming smiled, clinked glasses with him, and a trace of nostalgia flashed on his elegant face, and said, "Yes, you were still a little bit at the beginning." ”

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to the height.

And Xiao Tingyi got straight to the point and said, "Brother Huang, I want to push you to the throne, what do you think?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

As soon as King Ming drank half of the wine, he immediately choked himself and his face was flushed, and he coughed incessantly.

"Brother Huang, are you okay?"

Xiao Tingyi hurriedly patted him on the back, and King Ming coughed for a while, waved his hand helplessly, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Xiaoyi, you want to scare your imperial brother's old bones into pieces!" ”

"I'm serious."

Xiao Tingyi felt that King Ming was benevolent and generous, and he had taught and educated people for many years, and he had cultivated many outstanding officials for Daqian, and it was good for him to be the emperor.

The Wang family will continue to guard the frontier, and the power of the border will not be in the hands of outsiders.

In this way, the entire Daqian, whether inside or outside, can be guaranteed to be under the control of their Xiao family.

That's the bare minimum.

King Ming coughed heavily again, still waving his hand, "But don't toss me, look at the book, it's good to teach students, what kind of emperor to be!" ”

Xiao Tingyi couldn't help laughing, "Other people's families are all robbing their heads and bleeding, and if you put them here, you pushed me, and no one wanted to do it." ”

"You see, you've been free for so many years, and you're free, and you're reluctant, right?"

King Ming sighed again and said with a wry smile, "I'm reluctant either." ”

If it is said that when I left the capital, I didn't feel a little regretful in my heart, it was impossible.

But now, he feels more and more that he made the right choice.

Castle Peak Academy gave him everything he wanted most in his heart.

Xiao Tingyi thought for a while, and then said, "If I am the emperor, it may make people laugh out of their big teeth, and Brother Seventh Emperor, you are the most suitable candidate." ”

"Don't do it."

King Ming didn't believe him at all, he took the wine glass, refilled the cup, took a sip, and then said leisurely, "It's someone else who laughs off the big teeth, not me, so it has nothing to do with me." ”

"They laugh at me, your own brother."

"It's not a joke for me anyway, it's okay."

Xiao Tingyi couldn't cry or laugh.

King Ming, who has always been known for his elegance and politeness, even said this!

"And yes."

King Ming held the wine glass and continued, "I just brought Jingxin back to see her homeland, and I still have to go back to the academy after all, so even if they laugh at you, I won't hear it." ”

"It's in my ears."

King Ming pointed to his ears and smiled a little proudly, "I can only hear the sound of wind and rain, as well as the sound of reading." ”

More so, cunning.

He could more or less guess the little careful thinking hidden in Xiao Tingyi's heart-

That is, he respects his brothers very much, so he will not take the initiative to climb this throne.

This is why, he did not hesitate to agree to Ye Qingli and accompany her to visit the mountains and rivers.

He had already been very mentally prepared.

If there is really no one to pick up, he will definitely not let Daqian fall into the situation of being leaderless, but as long as someone wants to be the emperor, he will definitely not rob it.

"Brother Huang, you only said yourself."

Xiao Tingyi smiled again, walked back to his seat, and continued to clink glasses with him.

"Do you explain that Cheng, Mingzhe and Minghui?"

King Ming couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, "They have always helped me manage the academy, and now they are also gentlemen in the academy, they are used to living a free, clean and casual life, if they enter the palace, won't they still be uncomfortable?" ”

Xiao Mingcheng, Xiao Mingzhe and Xiao Minghui are his three sons.

The eldest son is also in his forties this year, and he is teaching in the academy, and now it is equivalent to the position of vice principal, and Xiao Jingxin is his youngest daughter.

The second son, who is five or six years younger, has also been busy at the college, but he does not teach, but is responsible for the external procurement and publicity of Castle Peak College.

The third son is the most idle for the time being, following King Ming, and has been doing academic research, until King Ming can't do it anymore, and he will really hand over Qingshan Academy to Xiao Mingcheng, and Xiao Mingzhe will become the most powerful helper of his eldest brother.

The four fathers and sons are diligent and meticulous, contributing all their strength and enthusiasm to the cadres.

They are content with the status quo.

"Brother Huang, you didn't ask them, you know?"

Xiao Tingyi drank the wine, his expression still serious.

"Hahaha, Xiaoyi, do you think that as soon as the news of our entry into Beijing comes over, we won't discuss it?"

King Ming didn't say anything polite to him, and said directly, "The night we received the news, our father and son talked in detail all night, and finally agreed that Qingshan Academy was our best destination. ”

"Really?"

"Real gold is not so real!"

King Ming waved his hand, "Don't be polite, you are still so young, and you have been living in the capital, you will ascend the throne when you ascend the throne, and your brothers will support you!" ”

This is said by King Ming with full confidence.

Also, His Royal Highness King Ding controls the border army of Daqian, while His Royal Highness King Ming controls the cultivation of scholars in the Daqian court, and every literature and martial arts is in his hands!

Can such two brothers be unconfident?

And Xiao Tingyi still smiled, "Then I have to ask the eldest brother what he means." ”

"Brother Emperor definitely doesn't have time to pay attention to you."

King Ming dipped a little bit of wine, his expression was a little casual, and he said with great interest, "The eldest emperor's brother Rong Ma has been half his life, and now he is eighty years old, such an old bone, can you bear to put him on the shelf and roast him?" ”

"The eldest brother also has sons and grandsons."

Xiao Tingyi said.

"Aren't you arrogant and lawless, why are you like a girl at this time?"

King Ming shook his head helplessly, and said, "The children of the eldest emperor's brother are basically the same as Mingcheng and Mingzhe, although they are all nephews, they are also much older than you, they have held positions in the army early, and they are also familiar with the way of life of the barracks and the army. ”

There are many civil officials in the court, all of whom are his former students, and King Ming also knows them very well.

Most of the civil officials are 'convincing people with reason', and often when Xiucai meets soldiers, it is not clear at all that there is reason, and if the sons of King Ding are against the civil officials, it will be very lively.

Xiao Tingyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

King Ding's temper is like the name of his army, the Iron Tiger Army.

Iron bones, tiger generals and tiger might.

His sons, too, were under his tutelage, and they were almost the same tempered, straightforward and straightforward, and the most annoying of intrigues.

It seems that what King Ming said is right, if they really treat the above-mentioned officials, as well as those twists and turns and intrigues in the court, they are afraid that they will feel dizzy directly, how can they still have the heart to deal with state affairs?

Seeing Xiao Tingyi's thoughtful appearance, King Ming couldn't help but smile again, "How is it?" Am I right? ”

"Brother Huang is right."

Xiao Tingyi nodded, "But I still have to ask the eldest brother in person." ”

"You kid, really, what are you talking about!"

Seeing that he insisted, King Ming didn't say anything else, just shook his head helplessly, raised his glass, "Drink bar!" ”

"Okay, drink."

Xiao Tingyi drank all the remaining wine in the cup, and after pouring it again, he raised it and saluted King Ming, "Brother Seventh Emperor, you have been away from Beijing for many years before you came back, and from now on, we don't care about state affairs, we only drink and talk about feelings." ”

When he was a child, it was his brothers who were old enough to be his father to take care of them, and he always remembered these kindnesses.

"That's a good point! On feelings! ”

King Ming nodded solemnly, "Don't get drunk!" ”

'Ding'!

The two white jade cups collided crisply, escalating the atmosphere to the hottest and most intense moment.

And in the dungeon of Xianwangfu, at this moment, Fu'an held Linglong, who was covered with a handkerchief on his eyes, and said in a happy tone, "You must hold my hand and be careful of your step!" ”

"Brother Fu'an, what are you going to show me?"

Linglong was a little scared, because she felt that the people around her were a little airtight and uncomfortable.

"This is it!"

After taking two more steps, Fu'an took Linglong to a large vat, pulled off the cloth towel in front of Linglong with a smile, pointed to the vat and said, "There are very novel things in it!" ”

"What? Will it bite? ”

Linglong was a little scared, she didn't dare to step forward, and covered her eyes with her hands, but Fu'an pulled her and said, "No, you see." ”

As he spoke, he kicked the vat and said, "Come out and come out!" ”

Linglong was still scared in her heart, but she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, so she secretly looked through her fingers.

"Ahh

There was an angry sound in the vat, and then a shaved head poked out, staring at Fu'an angrily, its mouth wide open, but only a small bare tongue.

Linglong was taken aback when she saw it, and her heart trembled, but then, she found that this head looked a little familiar?

After being stunned for a while, Linglong couldn't help but feel a cold spirit all over her body, and almost screamed.

Damn!

Isn't this the legendary Emperor Majesty who is dead!
