Dajin royal family

Chapter 243 Father and Son Conversation
Prince Zhao's Mansion, the inner study.

A faint blue smoke rose from the furnace niche, filling the space between King Zhao and Jiang Chengxiao.

It was past noon after the court, and the two of them ate some food in the mansion, and then went into the study together.

There were two cups of clear tea on the desk, and a few floating green leaves gradually unfolded in the warm water. The emerald green tea looked pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Wang took a sip of the green tea and praised: "This tea is really different. There is no need to put any condiments in it. It is just a leaf, and the taste is sweet and bitter. The first taste is bitter, and the second taste is sweet. Really good."

"It's a pity that this tea is rare, and your mother only bought one catty. The noble families in Chang'an are all asking where this tea is produced."

King Zhao smacked his lips, as if he still had something to say.

"Did the father find out?"

With a faint smile on Jiang Chengxiao's face, he stretched out his hand to pick up the tea cup and took a sip.

The tea is warm and has a light tea flavor.

Zhao Wangdao: "That's not true, but this tea is not uncommon, so I suspect that the production process of this tea is different from the previous tea."

Jiang Chengxiao paused with his hands, then gently put the teacup on the desk, and when he was about to pull out his legs quietly, King Zhao glanced at him.

"Be more polite, I have reminded you time and again during the Great Dynasty, why don't you have a long memory."

The words were a little harsh, but a little helpless.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled awkwardly, and said helplessly: "It's the first time, I'm not familiar with it."

"Then you have to get familiar with it as soon as possible. Although it's a small section, you have to take it to heart. Don't be caught by the censor to read your book."

Jiang Chengxiao let out a haha, and sat down on his knees obediently.

Qingyan brushed across Zhao Wang's cheek, he stared at his son with a pair of eyes, and said softly: "Are you satisfied with what your Majesty gave you?"

"Satisfied. After all, the real culprit has been caught. It is already difficult for His Majesty to punish Lu Liang. How could he be dissatisfied?" Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

That smile is so sincere that people can't see the flaws.

"Tell the truth." King Zhao asked again.

Jiang Chengxiao said seriously: "I'm really satisfied. After all, Lu Liang is the grandson of Lord Lu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. To be sentenced to be cut in half is already considered revenge."

"You're not telling the truth."

Zhao Wang still didn't believe it, and said: "Could it be that there are some things between you and my father and son that can't be explained clearly?"

"Or, are you still brooding over the years when your father left you in the cold?"

Jiang Chengxiao was silent, he didn't really care about the so-called neglected years, after all he wasn't the original owner.

A fool is easy to be a human being, but a wise man is hard to be a fool.

In the end, did King Zhao see something?

King Zhao didn't say anything else, he just looked at his son quietly, Jiang Chengxiao didn't know what was brewing in his eyes.

He was wondering whether he should tell King Zhao that he had guessed the real murderer.

"I hope you can take the initiative to tell me." Zhao Wang sighed: "Don't pretend to be stupid, and don't treat your father as blind."

At this point, Jiang Chengxiao changed his mind and said instead: "Father knows the real murderer, so he agreed to His Majesty to let me be the governor of Liaodong County?"

These words were ambiguous on the surface, but Zhao Wang understood that this kid really knew who the real culprit was.

"Then do you think it's really a good thing to stay in the court?"

Zhao Wang asked back.

In Zhao Wang's eyes, his son was silent, and that handsome face looked disgusting.

"Then why do you want me to go to Liaodong, Jiangnan, Hebei, Bingzhou, and even Wuyue? I'm afraid it's better than Liaodong." Jiang Chengxiao said.

"Didn't you admit that you are not suitable to stay in the capital?" Zhao Wang smiled lightly. This kid would interrupt, but he was indeed smart.

It's really bad fun, and he insisted on defeating a naive kid like him.

"Yes, I admit that my father is right." Jiang Chengxiao said helplessly.

King Zhao nodded, "I asked you to go to Liaodong because of my father and His Majesty, but because of my father, I didn't expect His Majesty to let you take over as the governor of Liaodong County. Presumably, His Majesty is to comfort us."

Unbearable embarrassment, he just wanted Jiang Chengxiao to go to the frontier army for a few years of experience at the beginning, and then transfer him back when the bad things in the court were settled, but he didn't expect that the emperor would unexpectedly let his son take over as the governor of Liaodong.

"Because I was assassinated." Jiang Chengxiao said silently.

"Ah."

Zhao Wang affirmed: "Because you were assassinated, because of your contribution in Qingzhou, and also because of me. It is precisely because of these things that His Majesty will do this."

"This is what the father said to comfort."

"That's right, in the final analysis, you didn't intervene to seize the heir, but you were involved in it when you were doing things for His Majesty. Your Majesty knew it, and I knew it, so that's why it happened." Wang Zhao said.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "So, Father thinks there will be another time, so he asks His Majesty to transfer me away from Chang'an and protect me."

Zhao Wang smiled and showed admiration.

"In this way, His Majesty knows who the real culprit is." Jiang Chengxiao took a sip from the teacup, his tone neither salty nor weak, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

King Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise, otherwise, how could so many things have happened in the Great Dynasty today."

Although everyone knew this well, Jiang Chengxiao still felt that it was bound to happen.

Even if the matter of the prince did not come to light, the emperor would not easily let go of Gao Xun and others who prevented him from digging the canal.

It is also possible to hit by mistake, but Jiang Chengxiao thinks that killing birds with one stone is right.

"You don't seem to like Liaodong, is it because the environment there is difficult?" Zhao Wang tried to ask.

Jiang Chengxiao shook his head, "It's not like that, it's just that she's not in good health, so she can't follow me to places that are bitterly cold."

"She refers to the Changsun family?"

"Yes."

King Zhao frowned and said, "Why, even after inviting so many imperial doctors, there is no way to treat it?"

He heard about his daughter-in-law's gas disease from Princess Zhao, but he didn't expect it to be resolved yet.

"It's a bit tricky." Jiang Chengxiao said.

Qi disease is very troublesome. According to the current conditions, there is no way to treat it, only to adjust it.

Zhao Wang was silent for a while, and said: "It's okay, you are about to accept the girl from Yuchi's family, don't worry about the heirs."

Jiang Chengxiao twitched his eyebrows, and said with thorns in his words: "Is this what my father had in mind back then?"

Ok?
Hearing this, King Zhao was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "This time is not that time, how can we confuse it with the same thing."

He felt that his temper had worn off a lot. In the past, if this kid dared to refute himself like this, he would definitely slap him.

He didn't really want to mention Xiao Ruyin's matter.

"When I got married last year, Duke Xiao gave me a portrait of my mother from the Jiangnan clan." Jiang Chengxiao continued.

This kid definitely did it on purpose. With his intelligence, it is impossible not to hear the impatience in his own words, but he just mentioned what it was not on purpose.

"Give it to you by Duke Xiao, you should keep it well."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "That's natural, I've been keeping it well. Compared to Liaodong, I want to go to Jiangnan to see it. The climate is good for raising people, maybe"

"All right!"

Zhao Wang interrupted him, tilting his head, "Go, don't stay here to be an eyesore."

The corner of Jiang Chengxiao's mouth curled up, and he saluted him, "Son, leave."

With a bang, the study door closed.

After a long time, King Zhao sighed faintly.He suddenly remembered something, and said annoyedly: "I was deceived by this kid, he did it on purpose!"

After thinking about it, he smiled inexplicably.

"Boy, Liaodong is not Qingzhou, let me see your ability."

After leaving the study, Jiang Chengxiao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. If he stayed any longer, I'm afraid King Zhao would ask many questions that he didn't want to answer.

After bidding farewell to Princess Zhao in the mansion, Jiang Chengxiao rode his horse and left Zhao Wang's mansion.

The headache now is how he should explain to his wife that this trip to Liaodong is not a few months, but a few years, and it is impossible for him to leave his wife in Chang'an.

But that place in Liaodong is really not suitable for her to live in.

At this time, Kuai Siyu came riding a horse.

Jiang Chengxiao pulled the reins to stop the horse, Kuai Siyu walked to the side, and said: "Master, there is news from Fang Er, and Sun Shichang has already caught him."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao's face brightened, and he said, "Okay, lead the way, we'll go there now!"

"Yes!"

Just when I was about to sleep, a pillow came, Sun Shichang, don't let me down!
A group of people galloped away on horseback.
