"Your Highness, something big happened in the face this morning."

"Big deal?" Zhao Yao asked with some curiosity, "What's the big deal?" ”

Tongxi did not answer directly, but asked Zhao Yao rhetorically: "Your Highness, do you know Zheng Xilin and Zheng Taiwei?" ”

"What's the matter, Taiwei Zheng is back?" Zhao Yao naturally knew about Taiwei Zheng. Although Taiwei Zheng has been away from the capital for more than ten years, his name and legend have remained in the capital and are still full of thunder.

"No, it's his son." Tongxi didn't sell Guanzi anymore, and directly told Zhao Yao, "Taiwei Zheng's eldest son has entered the court as an official, and he is now the prime minister." ”

"Taiwei Zheng didn't come, his son came, so it must be very lively today." Zheng Taiwei did not come back, but his son came to the capital to be an official, and the prince's brother and the acting king will definitely try their best to win over Zheng Taiwei's son.

Zheng Taiwei has been away for more than ten years, but his father has always kept the position of Taiwei, and when Zheng Taiwei returns, it can be seen that his father attaches great importance to Zheng Taiwei.

For the prince's brother and the acting king, if they can get the support of Zheng Taiwei, then the throne is theirs. It's a pity that Taiwei Zheng hasn't come back yet, so they can only hit the idea on Taiwei Zheng's son.

As long as you win over Zheng Taiwei's son, it is equivalent to winning over Zheng Taiwei.

"It's very lively, and the ministers are very happy that the son of Taiwei Zheng is coming to the capital." Tongxi said, "The emperor also praised Zheng Taiwei's son in the early court, and also recalled the days with Zheng Taiwei. ”

"From this, it can be seen that Taiwei Zheng is very important to both his father and the ministers." This Taiwei Zheng is still very mysterious, and Zhao Yao is also very curious about him.

"Your Royal Highness, Taiwei Zheng was a great hero who helped the first emperor establish the Great Zhou Dynasty back then, he was also the emperor's military advisor, and he once helped the emperor win many battles." Tongxi has heard a lot about Taiwei Zheng, "Taiwei Zheng has excellent strategies, not only can strategize, but also win thousands of miles, there are few people in this world who can do it." ”

"When the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, Taiwei Zheng formulated a lot of national policies for the first emperor, and they are still used today." Tong Xi said with relish, "Most of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were also formulated by Taiwei Zheng, and some regulations in the army were also ......formulated by him."

Tongxi twittered all the things that Taiwei Zheng did before leaving the capital. Everything he said was very impressive.

Before leaving the capital, Taiwei Zheng really did a lot of big things to benefit the country and the people. Every great thing convinces the ministers and makes the people praise.

Among the people, Zheng Taiwei's reputation is very high, higher than that of any minister. Even if Taiwei Zheng has been away from the capital for more than ten years, most of the people in the capital still remember him. In addition to Emperor Wu of Zhou's hope that Taiwei Zheng can come back, the people in the capital also look forward to him coming back to continue to be a Taiwei.

Taiwei Zheng didn't leave suddenly. In the period before leaving, his health was not very good, and the whole capital knew about it, and many people even went to the temple to pray for him, hoping that the Buddha and the Bodhisattva could bless him with a long life. Later, when Taiwei Zheng said that he was sick and returned to his hometown, the people were very reluctant to let him go out of the city thirty miles.

Emperor Wu of Zhou and the people thought that Zheng Xilin would come back after returning to his hometown to recuperate for a few years, but they didn't expect that he would not return to the capital at all this time.

Twenty or thirty years ago, there was a rumor among the people that whoever could get Zheng Xilin's assistance would be the emperor. Back then, Emperor Wu of Zhou became the emperor because he was assisted by Zheng Xilin. You can see his talent.

In fact, in addition to Emperor Wu of Zhou sending people to invite Zheng Xilin back to the capital from time to time over the years, the prince of Zhenguo and the crown prince, as well as the Marquis of Xuanping and the acting king, the three princes have secretly sent people to invite Zheng Xilin, but they have all been rejected by Zheng Xilin.

Although they were rejected by Zheng Xilin, Zhenguo Gong and Xuanping Hou did not give up. Every year, they will send some gifts to Zheng Xilin on important festivals. Because they knew that Zheng Xilin didn't like expensive things, they gave Zheng Xilin books or calligraphy and paintings as they liked.

Zheng Xilin returned these gifts intact. If the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Xuanping want to send them again, he will have to tell Emperor Wu of Zhou. Since then, the Zhenguo Gong and the others did not dare to give gifts to Zheng Xilin again, nor did they dare to send people to approach Zheng Xilin again.

If Emperor Wu of Zhou knew that they were close to buying Zheng Xilin, Emperor Wu of Zhou would definitely not let them go easily.

Zhao Yao didn't expect Tongxi to be so excited when he talked about Zheng Xilin, "Tongxi, Taiwei Zheng's son came to the capital to be an official, what are you excited about?" ”

"Your Highness, there's a good show to watch next." Tongxi said in a tone of watching the play.

"That's right." The arrival of Zheng Xilin's son stirred up the situation in the DPRK and China. "How many sons does Taiwei Zheng have, how many sons?"

"I heard that there are three sons, and it is the eldest son who works beside He Xiang." Tongxi reported the news he heard to Zhao Yao again, "The second son went to Shang Fangling. ”

"Shang Fangling?" Zhao Yao looked surprised, "Taiwei Zheng's second son actually went to Shang Fangling, what did he do when he went to Shang Fangling?" ”

"As a craftsman, I heard that Taiwei Zheng's son is obsessed with the Mo family, and he wants to enter Shang Fangling to learn technology." Tongxi said, "I heard that when my second son was in his hometown, he made a lot of things and helped the local people improve a lot of tools. ”

"Isn't that the kind of person I want?" Zhao Yao is in need of a craftsman who likes to make things and has good skills.

"Your Highness, he is the second son of Taiwei Zheng, do you really dare to ask for him?"

The smile on Zhao Yao's face suddenly disappeared, and he said very frankly: "Don't dare!" "If he wasn't the son of Taiwei Zheng, he would dare to ask for it." What about Taiwei Zheng's youngest son? ”

"Taiwei Zheng's youngest son seems to be going to Taixue to study, I heard that he is extremely smart and very famous in their hometown." Regarding the matter of Zheng Taiwei's youngest son, Tongxi did not hear a lot of news, after all, Zheng Qian did not enter the palace like his two brothers.

"The tiger father has no dog son, and the three sons of Taiwei Zheng will definitely not be bad." Zhao Yao said, then raised his hands and stretched his waist, "The three of them are going to become fragrant and sweet, and everyone will rush to please and buy them." ”

Tongxi nodded, lowered his voice and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King will definitely win them over." ”

"You know what it's called?" Zhao Yao suddenly asked.

Tongxi didn't understand what Zhao Yao meant, and asked with a blank face: "Your Highness, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhao Yao shook his index finger and said with a smile: "This is called Spelling Dad." ”

"Daddy, what does this mean?" Tongxi heard this word for the first time and was confused.

Zhao Yao asked: "Taiwei Zheng's three sons have a very powerful father, they won a lot of people as soon as they were born, don't you say?" ”

Tongxi replied: "Yes." ”

"You see that as soon as they came to the capital, the ministers paid a lot of attention to them, and the prince's brother and the acting king both wanted to win them over, didn't they?"

"Yes."

Zhao Yao crossed his hands and hugged the back of his head, walking lazily: "If their father is not Taiwei Zheng, but just an ordinary person, do you think the ministers will still attach so much importance to them?" Brother Prince, will they still win them over? ”

Tongxi replied: "Of course not. ”

"This is Daddy!"

When Tongxi heard this, he finally understood, and suddenly said, "It turns out that this is Daddy." "His Royal Highness uses the word [spelling father] to describe it, which is really too appropriate.

"You see, how important it is to have a great father." Zhao Yao said with emotion, "If they agree to the invitation of the prince's brother or the acting king, they will immediately soar." ”

Tongxi asked curiously: "Your Highness, do you think they will agree to the wooing of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King?" ”

"If they were smart people, they wouldn't have said yes." Zhao Yao said casually, "If they covet temporary glory and wealth, then they will agree." ”

"Taiwei Zheng's son shouldn't be a stupid person." Even he, a eunuch, knew that whether he supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness the Acting King, there was no good end. Of course, supporting the three princes will not lead to anything good.

"When they come to the capital for the first time, they may be dazzled by the wealth fans of the capital and make a stupid decision." How many people have big ambitions before coming to the capital. However, after coming to the capital, he was lost in this wealth and power, forgot his original intention, and only wanted to climb up the camp.

"If they support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or His Royal Highness the Acting King, won't Taiwei Zheng be angry to death?" Taiwei Zheng used to be the emperor's person, and he should only be loyal to the emperor like He Xiang and others, and will not serve any prince.

"What does this have to do with us?" Zhao Yao was hungry, "Let's go, hurry up and find the fourth brother for lunch." ”

The fourth prince had been waiting for Zhao Yao in the dining room for a long time.

Zhao Yao came to the dining room of Lanyuan Pavilion and found that it was full of people, which surprised him a little.

On weekdays, the dining room of Lanyuan Pavilion is not full. Many ministers were too lazy to go to the dining room to eat, and ate directly in the room where they worked.

Just like Lin Xueyi, he never comes to the dining hall to eat, he always eats in the History Museum.

The place where the four princes and a group of them cultivated history was called the "History Museum".

Seeing that the Ten Princes were coming, the ministers stood up and saluted.

Zhao Yao waved his hand, signaling that they didn't need to be polite.

"Fourth brother, what happened, why are so many people in the dining room?"

The fourth prince glanced at the ministers crowded in the dining room, a sneer crossed his eyes, and he said in a cold tone: "Don't worry about them. ”

Wei Mian on the side interjected: "They are waiting for Lord Zheng." ”

"Lord Zheng?" Zhao Yao blinked in confusion, "Who is Lord Zheng?" ”

The fourth prince said: "The prime minister is on the job, and he only entered the court today." ”

"Oh, Captain Zheng's son." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "On the way to Lanyuan Pavilion, many people are talking about him. ”

"Are you hungry?" The fourth prince asked.

"Starving." Zhao Yao looked like a starving ghost.

"Let's eat."

Wei Mian and Tongxi quickly set up the meal, and immediately waited for the four princes and Zhao Yao to eat.

While eating, Zhao Yao told the fourth prince what he had learned in the morning.

The fourth prince spoke from time to time to teach Zhao Yao.

When Zhao Yao and the four princes finished their lunch, He Xiang and Zheng did not show up in the dining room, which made the ministers who had been waiting very disappointed.

The place where He Xiang and Taishi Liu were doing things in the Lanyuan Pavilion was not something that anyone could enter, nor could they go in casually. Only with the consent of He Xiang and Taishi Liu could they enter.

There is nothing serious to do on weekdays, and He Xiang and Liu Taishi don't like other ministers to come to them casually, so the ministers don't dare to go to He Xiang and Liu Taishi easily.

Zheng Rang, as the prime minister, naturally worked in the same place as He Xiang.

He Xiang and Mrs. Liu don't come to the dining room every day to eat, but they often come to the dining room to eat during this time. The ministers thought that they would come to the dining room for lunch today, and came to the dining room early to wait for them, but they came to nothing.

Taishi Liu and He Xiang had already guessed that the ministers would be waiting for them in the dining room, so they had lunch directly at the office where they were working.

"Tomorrow for lunch, we won't come to the dining room to eat." The Four Princes don't like crowded places, and the dining room will be crowded with people during this time. Although these people are not noisy, their thoughts make the four princes dislike.

"Okay." For Zhao Yao, it is the same wherever he eats, as long as the meal is delicious. "Fourth brother, have you seen Taiwei Zheng's son? Is he good-looking? I heard that Taiwei Zheng is a beautiful man, so is his son also a beautiful man? Does he look like Captain Zheng? “

The fourth prince said in a light tone: "I didn't look carefully. ”

"Fourth brother, is this Taiwei Zheng's son on He Xiang's side?"

"What, you want to see him?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Well, everyone is talking about him, I'm curious, I want to go and see him." ”

"He is the prime minister, so he is naturally with He Xiang."

"Then I'll go over and have a look now." As soon as Zhao Yao took two steps, he stopped, and looked back at the fourth prince suspiciously, "Fourth brother, aren't you going?" ”

"I'm not going, you can go." The four princes have already seen in the early dynasty. Besides, he was not interested in Zheng Rang, even though Zheng Rang was the son of Zheng Taiwei.

"Then I'll take a look."

The place where He Xiang and Taishi Liu did things was in the building directly south of Lanyuan Pavilion.

Lanyuan Pavilion is made up of four buildings, each with five floors, and each floor has a dozen rooms.

The house where He Xiang and Mrs. Liu ran errands was on the second floor, and the entire second floor was theirs. Usually, no one dares to go up to the second floor.

As the prince, Zhao Yao didn't need to go through He Xiang's consent to go to them.

He Xiang: They also ran out of lunch. He sat on the side, drinking tea while watching Taishi Liu play chess with Zheng Rang.

"He Xiang, Taishi Liu, I'm coming to see Taiwei Zheng's son." Zhao Yaoren hadn't arrived yet, and the voice had already arrived first.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu heard Zhao Yao's voice and hurriedly stopped the movements in their hands.

Zhao Yao appeared in front of their window and waved at them: "I'm here." ”

He Xiang and Taishi Liu respectfully saluted Zhao Yao: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Ten. ”

Zheng Rang also saluted: "Minister Zheng Rang has seen His Royal Highness the Ten. ”

Zhao Yao raised his hand to He Xiang and them, and said with a smile: "Get up." ”

"Your Highness Xie Shi."

Zhao Yao stood under the porch, standing in front of the window, with his hands on the windowsill, staring at Zheng Rang curiously.

"You are the son of Captain Zheng."

"Yes."

Zhao Yao looked at Zheng Rang carefully, he was handsome, fair-skinned, upright, and had an elegant temperament.

"It's really a beautiful man!"

When Zheng Rang heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao smiled brightly at him: "I heard that Taiwei Zheng is a beautiful man, so I wanted to see if you are a beautiful man." ”

So that's what happened.

"It's not as good as my father." He was far inferior to his father in appearance, bearing, and talent.

"He Xiang, why didn't you go to the dining room for lunch?" Zhao Yao tilted his head and looked at He Xiang and them, "There are many people waiting for you." ”

He Xiang said kindly: "The minister was suspicious of being noisy, so he didn't go to the dining room for lunch." ”

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "Oh, you didn't go on purpose." ”

He Xiang smiled slightly, and then asked, "Your Highness the Tenth, what delicious food did you eat at noon?" ”

"I ate braised duck ...... at noon today" As soon as he mentioned the delicious, Zhao Yao's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows fluttered and he told He Xiang and them about the delicious food he ate at noon today.

He Xiang and Mrs. Liu listened patiently, and responded from time to time.

Zheng Rang stood aside and listened stunned. Obviously it is a very ordinary braised duck, but after listening to what the Ten Princes said, I suddenly felt that this braised duck had become the most delicious dish in the world. He was a little greedy and wanted to go home at night to eat braised duck.

"He Xiang, what did you eat at noon?" Zhao Yao said, pursed his lips and said, "You didn't come to the dining room, so I didn't even eat the delicious food you brought." ”

He Xiang said with a smile: "We didn't bring anything delicious today, and the lunch we used was sent from the imperial dining room." ”

"Taiwei Zheng's son, do you have anything delicious in your hometown?" Zhao Yao stared at Zheng Rang with burning eyes, "Can you bring delicious food from your hometown tomorrow?" I can trade my delicious food for you. ”

"Huh?" Zheng Rang was a little confused, not understanding what the Ten Princes meant.

"Zheng Zhengshi's hometown really has a lot of delicious food, Chen and Taishi Liu have eaten it, and it tastes very good."

Hearing He Xiang say this, Zhao Yao's little face immediately showed an expectant look: "Really? Saying that, he looked at Zheng Rang again, "Zheng Zhengshi, then you must come to your hometown tomorrow to eat deliciously, and I will exchange my favorite food with you tomorrow." ”

Zheng Rang still didn't understand what was going on, and looked at He Xiang for help.

He nodded to him.

He said, "Yes, Your Highness the Ten. ”

"That's right, Zheng Zhengshi, you can also exchange the delicious food of your hometown for the delicious food of other people, the ...... of the north side building" Zhao Yao said to Zheng Rang about the food in the hometowns of other ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion.

Not to mention that Zheng Rang was stunned when he heard it, even He Xiang and Taishi Liu were stunned. They didn't expect the Ten Princes to know so much about the cuisine of Minister Lan Yuange's hometown.

Zhao Yao also knew the best dishes and snacks in the ministers' homes, because he had eaten them all.

Not only did he eat it, but he also asked them how to do it. The ministers were naturally happy to see that he was so fond of eating their food. They wrote down the method in detail and sent it to Zhao Yao very intimately.

Zhao Yao collected the recipes of these delicacies and asked Liang Zhaoyi to compile them into a book, so that he would have a book of food recipes from all over the world.

"By the way, you just came to the capital, you must not know what is delicious in the capital, let me tell you......" Zhao Yao gushed to Zheng Rang to introduce the famous food and snacks in the capital. Also, you must go to the West Market at night, the West Market is particularly lively and bustling at night, and there are many snacks. ”

Zheng Rang was flattered and said: "The minister has written it down, and the minister will definitely try it when he has time." ”

"He Xiang, when I take a break next time, I must go to your house to eat baked cakes." The baked cakes made by He Xiang's family are very delicious.

"The minister is waiting for His Highness."

Zhao Yao waved his hand to He Xiang: "I'm going back." ”

"Your Highness, go slowly."

Zhao Yao hummed a cheerful tune and left in a hurry.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu looked at the back of Zhao Yao leaving, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously raised a smile.

Zheng Rang still hasn't figured out what's going on. He looked at He Xiang suspiciously: "Prime Minister, Taishi, Ten Highnesses, he ...... "What is going on with Ten Highnesses?"

He Xiang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Ten likes to eat delicious food, he often comes to Lanyuan Pavilion to ask the ministers about their local food, and then exchange food ...... with them."

After listening to He Xiang's words, Zheng Rang was shocked: "This ......"

Taishi Liu said with a smile: "Thanks to His Highness the Ten, we have eaten a lot of delicacies that we have never tasted. ”

"Brother Jean, you can bring some delicacies from your hometown tomorrow to exchange with His Royal Highness the Ten."

"Okay." Zheng Rang said in his heart, he didn't expect His Highness Ten to be so interesting.

"Let's move on." Liu Taishi pointed to Zheng Rang and pointed to the chessboard. Their game of chess is not over yet.

"Yes, Master." Zheng Rang sat back down, picked up the white son and continued to play.

Zhao Yao returned to the History Repair Museum and told the four princes what Zheng Rang's hometown had to eat. He also said that Zheng Rang would bring delicious food to exchange with him tomorrow.

Only then did the four princes find out that Zhao Yao ran to see Zheng Rang, not because he was the son of Zheng Taiwei, but because he was looking at the food in Zheng Rang's hometown.

In Xingde Palace, the eighth prince received a letter from Wang Siqi, the son of the Wang family. After reading the letter, he took it and burned it on the candlestick.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince's face was a little cold, Yu Hai hurriedly asked with concern, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”

"Nothing." The Eighth Prince said, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a smile of unknown meaning, "Wang Siqi has some ability, and he didn't disappoint me." ”

Yu Hai was shocked and asked, "Wang Siqi succeeded?" ”

"It didn't work out, he just got some reuse." The Eighth Prince said meaningfully, "Give him some more time, and he can surprise us." ”

"What surprise?"

"You'll know then."

Yu Hai heard what the Eighth Prince said, and did not ask any further, but asked about Zheng Rang.

"Your Highness, the two sons of Taiwei Zheng, what are you going to do?"

The Eighth Prince said indifferently: "Don't do it." ”

"Huh?" Yu Hai was shocked, "Your Highness, that's the son of Taiwei Zheng, don't you plan to win them over?" ”

The Eighth Prince glanced at Yu Hai, and his tone couldn't tell the joy and anger: "Do you think I have a long life, let me win them over." ”

There were so many updates yesterday, and there was only one old iron who praised me, which is really ...... You are so cold, it's easy to lose more.

There is also a shift in the evening. Today's two watches will also explode the word count.

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a tip! Leave a message!
