Chapter 82: Father's Wishful Thinking
Not long after he arrived in the swamp mansion last year, Zhao Yao asked his personal guards to set up a kick and bow field, and when they were tired from training on weekdays, they could kick and kick the kick and bow easily. However, the Kemari field of the pro-guard team cannot be used to play for others. If you let someone else play, you will find that the number of pro-guards is exceeded.
Having said that, Zhao Yao felt that the fact that his personal guards were seriously exceeding the standard had already been discovered. There are so many people who can't hide it if they want to. As long as you investigate a little, you can find out.
Zhao Yao suddenly thought of something, and a sneer came out of his mouth.
Tongxi, who was standing on the side, heard Zhao Yao's voice full of ridicule, and his heart suddenly struck, and he asked stubbornly: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhao Yao said with a smile: "I'm thinking that even if I raise 200,000 private soldiers, my father won't blame me." ”
"Ah, 200,000 private soldiers?" Tongxi was frightened by this number, "Your Highness, you still have to raise 200,000 private soldiers?!" If you were known by the capital, you would definitely think that you were going to rebel. ”
"Rebellion?" Zhao Yao let out a meaningless laugh from his mouth, "Tongxi, believe it or not, even if I really want to rebel, my father will not blame me, but will be very happy, I wish I succeeded in rebellion and become the emperor, and then he will retire as the emperor and take his mother out of the palace to play around." What the emperor thought in his heart was hit by Zhao Yao's sharp words.
"No, it won't." Tongxi looked incredulous, "Even if the emperor favors you again, he won't agree to your rebellion." "Is His Royal Highness pampered and arrogant, thinking that the emperor loves him, and he can do whatever he wants.
Zhao Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and an incomprehensible smile appeared on his face.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor loves you, but the person the emperor values most is His Royal Highness the King of Chu, don't forget." Influenced by Zhao Yao, Tongxi never thought that his master would become an emperor one day.
"I hope that my father really values the fourth brother." At the mention of this matter, Zhao Yao's brows furrowed slightly, "Only the fourth brother can sit on the throne." "Even if the emperor wants to send him to the throne, it depends on whether he is willing or not.
"Your Royal Highness, who else can there be besides the King of Chu, didn't you say before that only His Royal Highness the King of Chu can sit on the throne in the end." Tongxi thought of what Zhao Yao had just said, and said in shock, "Your Highness, you don't want to take the heir, do you?" ”
Zhao Yao glared at Tongxi, who looked horrified, and said angrily: "Which eye of yours saw that I wanted to take the heir, am I idle?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Tongxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He raised his hand and patted his chest, "Your Highness, what you said just now scared the slave to death, and the slave really thought that you were going to compete with His Royal Highness the King of Chu for the throne." ”
"If I really fight, do you think I will lose to the fourth brother?" He was not interested in the throne and did not bother to fight for it. However, if he really wants to fight, he will definitely be able to grab it by his own ability.
Tongxi said without thinking: "Your Highness, you will definitely lose to His Royal Highness the King of Chu." "In Tongxi's heart, the king of Chu is better than his master.
Zhao Yao was amused by Tongxi's answer, held his forehead with his hand, and laughed out loud.
Tongxi was inexplicably laughed at by Zhao Yao, and he asked a little uneasily: "Your Highness, is the slave wrong?" ”
Zhao Yao waved his hand and said with a smile in his eyes: "No, what you said is very right, I am not as good as the fourth brother." ”
Tong Xi looked at Zhao Yao puzzled: "Then Your Highness, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Nothing." The smile on Zhao Yao's face paused, and then a heavy look appeared on his face, "Fourth brother, he...... Anyway, in the end, I will help the fourth brother and let the fourth brother sit on the throne. ”
"Your Highness, aren't you not interfering in the competition between His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the King of Wei?"
"I don't interfere in the affairs between the fourth brother and the starling, but in the end......" Even if the fourth brother wins everyone in the end, including the starling, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit on the throne. The real enemy of the fourth brother in the end is not the starling brother, but the father emperor. At that time, he will help the fourth brother sit on the throne. "Father really played everyone around." Father, father, in the end, I will also let you taste the taste of being played around.
The more Tongxi listened, the more confused he became, "Your Highness, what are you talking about, why can't the slave and maid understand a word?" ”
Zhao Yao didn't answer Tongxi's question, but asked him: "Tongxi, do you want me to take the heir?" ”
"Huh?" Tongxi was stunned by Zhao Yao's question, he saw that his Royal Highness's expression was very serious, his heart sank, and his expression immediately became serious, "Your Highness, if you want to take the heir, the slave and maid will definitely support you, but if you don't want to take the heir, then the slave and maid don't want you to take the heir." ”
Zhao Yao held his face, looked at Tongxi and said: "If I take the throne and finally become the emperor, you will become the chief eunuch, and you will be very majestic at that time." ”
"Your Highness, it doesn't matter whether the slave is majestic or not, the important thing is whether you want to or not." Tongxi's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "Your Highness, if you want to, the slave and maid will definitely help." ”
Zhao Yao was touched by Tongxi's words, "Tongxi, you are the only one in this world who asks me to act according to my own heart." "The mother's wishful thinking should also be known to the mother, but the mother never reminded him, it seems that the mother has the same idea as the father.
"Your Highness, isn't Niangniang?"
"Mother concubine...... Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "Mother concubine will listen to my father's words, not necessarily me." ”
Tongxi listened with a lot of questions: "Your Highness, doesn't Niangniang love you the most, what do you want to do, Niangniang will definitely support you." ”
Zhao Yao suddenly asked, "What do you think of the second uncle?" ”
"Your Highness, why did you suddenly ask this, is there anything wrong with the second master?" Tongxi still doesn't know He Lianfang's true identity.
"Nothing." Since Zhao Yao knew He Lianfang's identity, he knew that his encounter with He Lianfang was not accidental. Even if the first time he saw his second uncle was accidental, everything that followed was not accidental. If he hadn't broken into that house that time, he would have been arranged to meet the second uncle in the future. "My uncle, whom I've never met, is really amazing."
"Uncle I've never met?" Tongxi was stunned and said, "Your Highness, where did you come from, uncle?" ”
"Why not, the righteous prince who passed away a long time ago is not my uncle."
Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Tongxi wanted to rebel against the existence of Prince Yong.
"Yes, you have an uncle, but okay, what are you doing with Prince Yiyong?"
"I just think that my uncle, who has never met before, is really amazing." Prince Yiyong has been absent for so many years, but the second uncle has always remembered him. "Well, it's really complicated to be used as a stand-in."
"Being used as a stand-in?" Tongxi became more and more confused when he heard this, "Your Highness, who is the stand-in for whom?" ”
"No one, what I just said, you rot in your stomach after hearing it, and you are not allowed to let the third person know, understand?"
Tongxi's heart tightened, and then nodded obediently: "The slave knows." ”
"I'm thirsty, go get me a bowl of sugar water."
"Slave and maid, go now."
After waiting for Tongxi to leave, Zhao Yao leaned back, his head resting on the back of the chair, and his eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. After a while, he sighed faintly: "Alas, how can I be virtuous." "The second uncle values him because of Prince Yiyong, and he can understand. However, what about the father, is it because he is the son born to a woman who loves it the most?
His dream since he was a child was to travel all over the world and eat all the food in the world. Although what he is doing now in the swamp mansion does not seem to have anything to do with his dreams, it actually has a lot to do with it. He asked Gentile countries to come to Marsh Province to do business, and it would attract more Gentiles to Marsh Province, and then some of them would choose to live in Marsh Province, and they would bring their country's food, culture, and customs with them. In this way, the people of the swamp province and other places could eat foreign delicacies at their own doorstep without having to go to sea to a foreign country.
Once he has built the swamp province and other parts of Lingnan, he will realize his dream and travel and eat all the food. However, it now seems that his dream will be a little difficult to carry out.
With his father's old scheming, I am afraid that there will be a big pit waiting for him. To be on the safe side, he had to prepare a second path for himself.
After a while, Tongxi walked in with a bowl of sugar water.
"Your Highness, I don't put a lot of sugar, it's not too sweet."
"That's good." Zhao Yao put away his thoughts, lowered his head and ate slowly.
Tongxi looked at Zhao Yao, hesitated in his heart for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, did something happen?" ”
Zhao Yao knew that it was him who made Tongxi worry about those words, and smiled at him comfortingly: "Nothing happened. ”
"Your Highness, the slave is dull and can't help you, but if something really happens, you don't have to carry it alone." Tongxi knew that Zhao Yao would not say those words for no reason, something must have happened. "You don't want to tell the second master, you can tell Lord Chu and them, or tell Lord Zheng, they are smart and will come up with a way to help you."
"Tongxi, do you think Chu Huan and them are as smart as me?"
"Nope." "However, there is a lot of power in numbers, maybe they can come up with good ideas for you." ”
"Well, if something really happens, I'll tell them."
After hearing this, Tongxi felt a lot more relieved.
"Your Highness, tomorrow is the Keju Competition, you better think about how to pit those people's money, and don't think about other things." It is still more suitable for His Highness to make money.
Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi, "You are really my personal eunuch." ”
"The slave just thinks it's more suitable for you to do business and make things."
"You're right." The persistence in his heart will not change, and will not let anyone change his dreams. "When I'm free next year, I'll take you to the sea to go around the countries of Annam and Siam."
Tongxi's face lit up when he heard this: "Really, Your Highness?" ”
"When did I lie to you."
"Great." As soon as Tongxi finished speaking, he realized something and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, can you go to these foreign countries?" ”
Zhao Yao raised his eyebrows: "Why can't I go, didn't you hear it before, they invited me to be a guest, and when I am free next year, I will definitely be a guest." ”
"Your Highness, are you really free next year?" Since His Highness came to the Swamp Mansion, he has been very busy, and it is estimated that it will be the same next year, how can he have time to go to a foreign country.
"It's okay to spare a few days."
"The slave is looking forward to it." Going to a foreign country, he never thought about it in his life.
After eating the sugar water, Zhao Yao waved his hand to let Tongxi retreat, he had something important to deal with.
At this time, the emperor who was far away in the capital sneezed several times in a row, so frightened that Sun Kui hurriedly went to the imperial doctor to check his pulse.
"It must be Xiao Shi, that stinky boy scolding me."
Sun Kui said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why can't it be His Royal Highness the King of Han who misses you?" ”
"How could that stinky boy think about me?" When the emperor thought that his youngest son was close to He Lianfang, but not close to him, he felt sour in his heart, "Stinky boy with no conscience." ”
Sun Kui said silently in his heart: The emperor definitely wants His Royal Highness the King of Han, but the emperor is embarrassed to say it. (End of chapter)
