Chapter 231: Reluctant

After listening to Zheng Qian's words, He Xiang choked on a mouthful of tea in his throat and coughed violently.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem...... What did you say...... cough cough cough ......"

Zheng Qian repeated Fang Cai's words: "I want to be the companion of His Royal Highness the Tenth, please help me." ”

He Xiang hurriedly put down the tea cup in his hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"You want to be the companion of the Ten Princes?"

Zheng Qian nodded and said, "That's right, I know that my uncle can help me." "The eldest brother's official position is too small, please ask the eldest brother to help, the eldest brother can't help at all. So, he came directly to He Xiang for help. Actually, it's okay to ask his father for help, but his father is in his hometown, and writing letters back and forth is too slow, and he can't wait.

The eldest brother said that the main guild went to Taixue with the four princes today, and he waited in Taixue for a day without waiting for the lord. The eldest brother came back in the evening and told him that the fourth prince had something to do today, and he didn't take the lord to Taixue. The eldest brother also said that the lord went to the White Crane Temple today. In the White Crane Temple, the lord was assassinated, but fortunately nothing happened.

After hearing about these things, Zheng Qian was even more determined to stay by Zhao Yao's side. If he was by the lord's side, he would never let the lord be in danger.

"Brother Qian'er, why do you want to be the companion of His Highness the Ten?" He Xiang didn't know that Zheng Qian wanted to recognize the Ten Highnesses as the lord, and he was very curious why Zheng Qian wanted to be the companion of the Ten Highnesses.

"His Royal Highness is my lord."

He Xiang couldn't believe his ears, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?" ”

"His Royal Highness Ten is my lord!" In order to let He Xiang hear clearly, Zheng Qian deliberately raised his voice and said again, "His Royal Highness Ten is the lord I recognize!" ”

"My lord, Your Highness the Ten?" He Xiang asked in astonishment, "Why do you recognize His Royal Highness Ten as the lord?" ”

"My lord won me in chess, he is smarter than me, he is my lord." Zheng Qian's reason is very simple and crude.

"Just because His Highness Ten won you in chess?"

"Yes."

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously, His Royal Highness Ten is the lord I'm looking for!" Zheng Qian's expression was very serious.

"Did you tell your father about this?"

"My dad said that no matter who I think is the boss, he doesn't care." Zheng Qian said, "My father also said that if I recognize the lord, I will assist the lord well and be loyal to the lord for the rest of my life." ”

He Xiang complained about Zheng Xilin in his heart: This old fox is really cunning.

"Uncle, I know that the lord is not very favored, and there are no ministers in the court to support him, but I don't care." Zheng Qian said very seriously, "No matter what the lord wants to do in the future, I will follow him." ”

He Xiang looked at Zheng Qian and saw a firmness in his eyes. He knew that this child was serious and wanted to recognize the ten princes as his lord.

"Brother Qian, things are not as simple as you think."

Zheng Qian asked with a puzzled face, "What do you mean?" ”

"The matter of the Ten Highnesses is not as simple as you see, understand?" He Xiang said, "You are the son of Zheng Xilin, if you recognize the Tenth Highness as the lord, you will bring trouble to the Tenth Highness." ”

When Zheng Qian heard this, he frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand what He Xiang meant, and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by that?" ”

He Xiang had something to say to Zheng Qian, so he could only say bluntly: "Brother Qian, even if I help you recommend you to the emperor to be the companion of the Ten Princes, the emperor will not agree." ”

"Why?" Zheng Qian asked puzzledly, "I'm so smart, why doesn't the emperor agree to me being my lord's companion?"

"I just said, you are Zheng Xilin's son, and if you follow the Ten Princes, it will bring him trouble, even danger." He Xiang said again, "You should know the situation that your eldest brother will face after entering the court as an official, then you should know that if you go to be the companion of the Ten Princes, the eyes of the ministers of the court will be on the Ten Princes, and what kind of trouble will be brought to the Ten Princes at that time, you should know if you are smart." “

Zheng Qian was silent when He Xiang's words were spoken.

"You are Zheng Xilin's youngest son, if you are the companion of the Ten Princes, you will give a signal to the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, that is, your father Zheng Xilin supports and supports the Ten Princes." He Xiang patiently analyzed for Zheng Qian, "You also said just now that the Ten Princes are not very favored, and there are no ministers in the court to support him. In other words, the Ten Princes do not have any power in the court, do you think that the people of the crown prince or the person acting for the king, or the people of the three princes see that you support the ten princes as the main princes, will they let the ten princes go? ”

Zheng Qian didn't think of this, and Zheng didn't think of this either.

"The Tenth Prince is now just a six-year-old child. What he needs now is to grow up in peace, not to be a minister, understand? "He Xiang told Zheng Qian the most critical place." If you really want to recognize the Ten Princes as the main prince, then you have to think about him first, right? ”

Zheng Qian opened his mouth and said, "Yes." He Xiangfangcai's words, Zheng Qian felt very right.

"Then don't recognize the Ten Princes as the Lord for the time being, and don't approach the Ten Princes." He Xiang said gently, "When the tenth prince grows up, it's not too late for you to recognize him as the lord again." ”

"But ......" Zheng Qian knew that He Xiang's words were right, but he was a little unwilling in his heart. He found his lord, but because his father was famous, he couldn't recognize him, let alone get close to him, which was too ...... It's not fair.

He Xiang saw the unconvincing in Zheng Qian's eyes, and said with a gentle expression: "Brother Qian, before you recognize the Ten Princes as the main prince, in fact, you have a lot of things to do for the Ten Princes. ”

Zheng Qian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What can I do for the lord?" ”

"Read and learn. I know you're super smart, but you don't know everything. If you want to assist the Ten Princes in the future, then you will have to learn a lot of things. He Xiang smiled at Zheng Qian charitentiously, "If you lose to the Ten Princes in chess, it means that your art of war is not excellent, and if you want to be a counselor of the Ten Princes in the future, you must at least know the art of war, right?" ”

"That's right! I'll study hard! Before, what Zhao Yao said to Zheng Qian, he had already taken to heart, and made up his mind to study the art of war.

"Think for yourself what you will know as a counselor, and what you will do." Seeing Zheng Qian's thoughtful look, He Xiang stroked his beard and continued, "Brother Qian, although you are smarter than your father, you don't read as many books as your father. If you want to help the Ten Princes well in the future, then you have to read more and study more. ”

Zheng Qian understood He Xiang's words, he stood up and bowed to He Xiang: "Thank you, uncle, for teaching." ”

Seeing that Zheng Qian listened to his words, He Xiang smiled with relief: "The son can be taught." ”

Zheng Qian sat down again and asked straight to the point: "He Xiang, the lord is not unfavored, but deeply loved by the emperor, right?" Through He Xiangfang's words, Zheng Qian affirmed the guess in his heart, but he still wanted to hear He Xiang say it himself.

He Xiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Brother Qian, why do you think so?" ”

"Uncle, you just said that the emperor will not agree to me to be the lord's companion, because I will bring trouble and danger to the lord, isn't this enough to show that the emperor's favorite youngest son is the lord?" Although Zheng Qian is not interested in the affairs of the imperial court, it does not mean that he does not understand anything.

Facing Zheng Qian's eyes that saw through, He Xiang did not say anything to deny it.

Brother Qian'er is too smart, and it is difficult to fool him. Besides, what he said earlier was very clear.

Zheng Qian saw that He Xiang didn't speak, so he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"I know what I'm going to do next." After speaking, he stood up and saluted He Xiang to say goodbye, "Uncle, I won't bother you, go back first." ”

He Xiang told Zheng Qian in the tone of an elder: "Brother Qian, study hard in Taixue." ”

Zheng Qian did not respond positively to He Xiang's words, but said: "There are still many good books in Taixue's library, I will read them carefully." ”

He Xiang smiled and said, "I also have some good books here, you can come to me to read them at any time." ”

Zheng Qian was not polite at all: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely come to you to borrow books to read." After speaking, he saluted again and left He Xiangfu.

Zheng Rang and Zheng Cheng had been waiting at home for Zheng Qian to come back, and when they saw that he had finally returned, they hurriedly asked, "Uncle, did you agree?" ”

Zheng Qian shook his head and said, "No." ”

When Zheng Rang and Zheng Cheng heard this, they first breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and then asked curiously, "Uncle, why didn't you agree?" ”

"Uncle said that I am Zheng Xilin's son, and if I go to be the companion of the lord, it will bring trouble or danger to the lord." Zheng Qian said, with a disgusted expression on his face, "It's really troublesome to have a famous father. "He can't follow his lord now, because of his father. Zheng Qian regretted very much in his heart that he did not change his name and surname before arriving in the capital.

Zheng made them deeply agree.

Since coming to the capital, they have deeply realized how famous their father is.

"And what are you going to do next?" Zheng Rang carefully observed Zheng Qian's expression and guessed, "I don't think you look like you're going to give up." "If you give up recognizing His Royal Highness Ten as the lord because of He Xiang's words, he will not be a junior brother.

Zheng Cheng suddenly asked with a frightened face: "Little brother, you don't want to go directly to the palace to find the emperor, do you?" ”

Zheng Qian gave Zheng Cheng a contemptuous look: "Even if I want to go directly to the palace to find the emperor, can I enter the palace?" "Is the palace anyone's going to be able to enter? He is Zheng Xilin's youngest son, but without a token, he can't enter the palace casually.

"Oh, too, you can't enter the palace." Zheng Cheng was immediately relieved.

"My uncle advised me not to get close to my lord until he grew up, and let me study more......" Zheng Qian told them what He said to him.

Zheng Rang nodded and said: "I think what my uncle said is very right, although you are smarter than your father, you do not read as many books as your father, and you do not have your father's experience as a strategist, you should study hard." ”

"Don't worry, I will study hard in Taixue next." After leaving He Xiangfu, Zheng Qian decided on some things. "I won't come to the door again in the future." Until the lord grows up, he must keep a low profile and no longer be as high-profile as he is.

Zheng Rang and Zheng Cheng heard this, and the two of them reached out to touch Zheng Qian's forehead in unison.

"If you don't have a fever, how can you start talking nonsense?"

Zheng Qian knocked off the hands of the two elder brothers and said with a serious face: "I will devote myself to studying in the future." ”

Zheng Rang and Zheng Cheng could see that Zheng Qian was serious. The two of them were very relieved, but at the same time a little ...... Not used to it.

"Big brother, I hope you will tell me about the things in the court when you come back from work every day." Zheng Qian's tone was very solemn, "I want to know what happened in the DPRK. "He always knows what is going on in the court, so that he can better help the lord in the future.

Zheng Rang agreed without any hesitation: "Okay, I'll tell you." "The younger brother is smarter than him, and if he tells him what happened in the court, he may be able to see what he didn't notice.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Hearing Zheng Qian's thanks, Zheng Rang was very surprised, and immediately raised his hand and gently patted his back.

"What's polite to big brother?"

"Big brother, second brother, I'm back in the room."

Looking at the back of Zheng Qian leaving, Zheng Cheng sighed: "I suddenly feel that my little brother has grown up all of a sudden. ”

"yes, it's matured all of a sudden." Zheng Rang chuckled and said, "Junior brother, this is the decision that the Tenth Highness is the lord." "Little brother, for the sake of His Royal Highness, he is not only willing to devote himself to studying, but also willing to restrain his temper, it is really ...... He suddenly became a little jealous of His Highness the Tenth.

His Royal Highness Ten played two games of chess with his younger brother, and he hooked away the soul of his younger brother, it was really ...... He regretted a little that he invited His Highness Ten to play chess with his younger brother.

The next day, after the court, He Xiang went to the imperial study to discuss business with the emperor.

After talking about business, He Xiang talked about Zheng Qian's recognition of Zhao Yao as the master's father-in-law, and wanted to enter the palace to be Zhao Yao's companion.

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "Lao Zheng's youngest son is very discerning. ”

"The minister can see that Brother Qian is serious."

"Let him study hard in Taixue for a few years first, and when the time is ripe, I will arrange him well." The words of the old immortal of the white crane have always been remembered by the emperor. In the past few days, he was thinking about where it would be better for him to go when he was ten years old.

The old fairy said that the farther away the better. The emperor knew that a place was very far from the capital, and it was also very far from other places. If Zhao Yao went to that place, the farther away the old immortal said, the better, but the emperor was reluctant to let his youngest son stay so far away from him. Besides, the place was too desolate, and he was reluctant to let his younger son suffer there.

The second watch is coming.

Zheng Qian: It's really annoying to have a famous father.

Zheng Xilin: ......

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