Qin Zhenghai's return to Beijing was originally planned.

When he came back from the south, he naturally did not know about the chaos of the north for the time being.

It wasn't until I came into the territory of Zhili that I fully understood what was going on in the capital.

When I arrived outside the city gate, I saw a green cloth car waiting in the distance, and I looked at the past, isn't it Song Mingzheng, who I haven't seen for many years!

I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Mr. Qingsong, who was still young back then, is now gray.

From afar, he hurried over: "Brother Gongheng! Don't come unharmed! ”

Song Mingzheng was full of tears, supporting Qin Zhenhai, who got off the carriage and was full of dust.

"Brother Qingsong! Don't come unharmed! ”

"Shannan is goodbye, it is more than ten years! Brother often dreams that he is Brother Gongheng! Song Mingzheng said with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, I didn't know that I hadn't seen you for so many years. How are you? Now you're different! Qin Zhenhai pulled him into his carriage.

"yes, it's different. Master Feng is already the governor of Jiangsu. I won't go back after I enter Beijing. After the year, the ministry will find an official and a half-job. I'm too old to run. Song Mingzheng said with a smile.

"Excellent, today's diligent government is a very far-sighted person, no matter where you are, you can't bury your talent!" Qin Zhenhai said with a smile.

While laughing, the carriage stopped.

The one who caught the car said: "Master, let's go differently, don't worry, it's time for the New Year, isn't it?" ”

"Isn't it a little unsightly?" Qin Zhenhai frowned.

"Hey, don't say that, brother, you're not afraid, there's a female dependent, right? Let's take a detour, but it's just a little longer. Here, not optimistic, not optimistic! Song Ming was waving his hand.

Since he said so, Qin Zhenghai could only respond.

The coachman regretted that he shouldn't have gone here in the first place, it was cold, and he didn't know how many heads he had chopped.

It was a layer of frozen red ice on the ground!

Someone smashed, someone shoveled, but it was too late.

"Today, another group of people from the Nian family have been beheaded. Fortunately, although it is the Nine Clans, his family is not big. It's just that some of the generals in the army who followed the rebellion were also beheaded together. This time...... There are thousands of unjust deaths. Song Mingzheng whispered.

"Hey...... This is also well deserved. It's also that he is not smart. Qin Zhenghai stretched out his hand and compared one to two.

Song Mingzheng touched his beard and nodded yes.

This time, there are many people who are implicated in this incident. Those who were imprisoned, those who had their homes raided, and those who were exiled. It's hard to be a Beijing official. Song Mingzheng shook his head: "The emperor is in the prime of life, so he fluttered." ”

"After this time, I'm afraid that the emperor is going to set up a crown prince." Qin Zhenghai sighed: "When I return to Beijing at this time, I am really unlucky." ”

"Your brother is now the governor of Fujian and the prefect of Fuzhou, what are you afraid of? You don't know about the capital, just be loyal to the monarch and serve the country! ”

The two brothers laughed and went back to Beijing.

Qin Zhenghai entered the garden and saw it, originally thinking that he couldn't see it.

However, the fourth master dragged the sick body to see him.

In Qingyan, Kyushu, the fourth master sat in the study. However, the chair was changed, with a thick cushion, and the fourth master looked very bad in it.

"Minister Qin Zhenghai knocks on the long live lord, long live the lord auspicious!" Qin Zhenghai knelt down.

"Gongheng, get up, I've been hungry for a few days, dizzy, look at you with three heads." The fourth master smiled.

Qin Zhenghai was stunned for a moment, he always knew that Long Live Lord spoke kindly.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he was also kind.

"Minister...... Heartbroken, I can't wait to suffer for the emperor......" Qin Zhenghai got up and said.

"Sit down." The fourth master waved his hand: "You have worked hard all these years." "In the past ten years, Fujian has built excellently!

Merchant ships are now on a scale.

"I've been looking forward to your return for a long time, and I want you to be a teacher for the prince. But I can't bear to go back. With a talent like you, I wish you were split in half! The fourth master sighed.

Qin Zhenghai hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Long live the lord asked the minister to return to Beijing, and the minister will return to Beijing." Long live the lord if he asks the ministers to stay there, the ministers dare not say that they will still do it for ten years! ”

"You've been doing it for ten years, and I can't bear to call you ten years. You're not small anymore. "Today's Qin Zhenhai is also sixty years old! Where have you been doing it for 10 years?

"Minister...... I am willing to be loyal to the emperor until the last moment. Qin Zhenghai knelt down again.

If he hadn't met Mingjun, he would have been in Shannan County for the rest of his life.

"Get up and speak." The fourth master waved his hand, and Su Peisheng went to help him up.

"There are no outsiders at this time, and I will be honest with you. I have already prepared a holy decree to appoint the fifth elder brother Hongxin as the crown prince. What do you think of this matter, Gongheng? The fourth master asked.

Qin Zhenghai was stunned for a moment, but this result was also expected.

It's because he is far away from the capital that the emperor asks, right?

"The minister told the truth. The temperament of the fifth elder brother Hongxin is unknown to the minister. Occasionally I hear a few words, which are mixed. But since the emperor wants to be established, it must be the fifth elder brother who has something extraordinary. The courtiers have nothing to say. "Qin Zhenghai said.

"Su Peisheng, show the things to Lord Qin." The fourth master smiled and waved his hand.

After a while, Su Peisheng brought a flat box. When it opened, there were two chapters of paper. The handwriting is immature, like what a child does, but the handwriting is different. It wasn't written by one person.

Qin Zhenghai hurriedly picked it up, it seems.

After reading both of them, I couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know if this is ......"

This is the question answered by the fifth elder brother at the age of eight and the fourth elder brother at the age of nine. Now it seems to be naïve. The fourth master smiled: "I won't tell you the truth, I felt that although what the fifth elder brother said was naïve, it was rare for him to have this heart." ”

"My own son, I know it myself. He never pretends. "How did the other sons please him?

Carelessness, obedience. But what about Hongxin? Dare to stare at him! But there is always a spectrum in doing things.

This is not what Zao Zao taught, and Zao Zao will not teach him so much.

It's this kid who is clever and clever.

"This kid is a very smart kid. Therefore, there is a need for a smart teacher! I am optimistic about you, and if you are willing, teach him well. When the time comes, he will be the prince, you will be the prince's teacher, and you have worked hard for more than ten years. has been an official for decades, and it can be regarded as a good destination for you. ”

Later, he was the prince's teacher, and then what about later?

That's the Emperor.

When a courtier is old and can't do anything, how high is the honor of the emperor?

Qin Zhenghai knelt down: "The minister obeys the order!" Learn more from the emperor's trust, and the ministers will do their best to teach each other! ”

"Okay, get up! I'll hand over the fifth elder brother to you, I can rest assured! You are a visionary, visionary. I'm not afraid you'll teach him to be stupid. There's only one, I'll tell you in advance. This kid is a bright-hearted man. Don't just follow the book. ”
