The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 210 Daddy Halo
In the early court, Emperor Wu of Zhou deliberately called Zheng Rang out of the queue, and asked about Zheng Xilin's situation with concern.

Zheng Rang replied respectfully that Zheng Xilin was in good health, and that Zheng Xilin had always been grateful for the emperor's concern.

Emperor Wu of Zhou praised Zheng Rang for being like Zheng Xilin, and encouraged him to follow He Xiang to do things well, and strive to be better than blue.

Hearing the encouragement from Emperor Wu of Zhou, Zheng Rang was naturally very excited, and he said that he would definitely do things well.

There was nothing important in today's early court, so Emperor Wu of Zhou recalled the things between him and Zheng Xilin.

Although Zheng Rang is Zheng Xilin's eldest son, he doesn't know much about his father.He only knew that his father used to be a Taiwei, but after a few years of working, he returned home due to illness.In fact, he never understood why his father wanted to return to his hometown, since he was obviously not sick.

Not only was his father not sick, but he was in very good health.After returning to his hometown, his father became a farmer, farming all year round.During the harvest, his father could easily withstand a stone of grain, so he didn't look sick.

My father never mentioned anything about being in the court or assisting the emperor in the past.He also doesn't remember very clearly what happened when he was a child, and he doesn't know what position his father once held in the court.If the local officials hadn't told them that their father had been a Taiwei, and that the emperor had been waiting for his father to return, they would never have known that his father was a very great person before.

To be honest, my father in his hometown is just like an ordinary farmer. He usually looks slovenly and sloppy, and it is completely impossible to tell that he was once a high-ranking member of the court.

Their family has always lived a frugal life, no different from ordinary people.The only thing that is different from others is probably that they have a lot of books at home.The books in their house filled several rooms, and there were all kinds of books.The three brothers were deeply influenced by their father since they were young, and they often read books.

In his hometown, his father had a high reputation and status.Officials, literati and scholars, wealthy businessmen and squires often came to visit his father.Knowing that my father was unwilling to return to the capital to continue to be a Taiwei, the local officials invited my father to be an official in his hometown, and many academies invited my father to be the head of the mountain, but my father refused.

Father just wanted to be a farmer.

He once asked his father why he pretended to be sick and returned home, why didn't he continue to be a captain, assist the emperor, and benefit the people?

Father said he had no energy.

At first, he thought that the reason why his father pretended to be sick and returned home was because he was wronged or excluded by the court, or because his father was too smart and outstanding, which aroused the emperor's fear and doubt.However, he later found out that was not the case.

The emperor has always respected his father, and has always hoped that his father can go back and continue to help him.And my father's friends are also looking forward to my father's return.

Nothing bad happened to my father before he returned home.When he left the capital, the emperor rewarded him with many things.

He never understood what his father meant when he said that he had no energy, did he not have the energy to deal with the intrigue in court?Still don't have the energy to help the emperor make suggestions?
My father has been in his hometown for these years. Although he has been working in agriculture, he still knows very well about the affairs of the court and China.Father obviously didn't go out, but he knew very well about the affairs of the world.What surprised him the most was that his father had been secretly paying attention to the affairs of the court.

Before coming to the capital this time, he asked his father again, why didn't he go back to the capital?
Father didn't say that he had no energy this time, but said that without him, the emperor and He Xiang could manage Da Zhou well.However, he felt that was not the reason.

He felt that his father was indifferent to fame and fortune, but it didn't seem to be the case.

The father is too mysterious, and their sons can't fathom his mind at all.

When he came to the capital this time, he thought his father would tell him something, but his father didn't specifically ask him anything.

"Do what you want to do."

"Father, this is the only sentence you have to explain, is there nothing else?" After all, this is his first time in the capital as an official. It stands to reason that his father should have a lot of words to tell him, such as telling him what to pay attention to in the officialdom, or Beware of some people in Beijing.

Zheng Xilin raised his eyes to look at his elder son, smiled kindly and said, "Nothing else."

"Father, you're not worried that I won't do well, or that something will happen in the capital?" Sometimes, he felt that his father didn't care about anything, and he looked indifferent.Also, from childhood to adulthood, my father has seldom disciplined the three brothers. He just let them read books since they were young, and he didn't restrain them with secular rules.From childhood to adulthood, the three of them were all raised in free-range.

"You are no longer a child, you know what you should do and what you should not do." Zheng Xilin's tone sounded full of confidence in his eldest son, "Besides, you are not an idiot."

Hearing what Zheng Xilin said, Zheng Rang didn't know whether to be happy or dumbfounded.

"Father, I don't know much about the forces in Beijing. You really don't want to tell me anything?" He also didn't know anything about the affairs of the court.

"Understand if you don't understand." Zheng Xilin smiled gently, "You will understand a lot of things by yourself. If I tell you, you will not understand some things."

This made a lot of sense, and Zheng Rang couldn't refute it.

"You don't explain anything to me. If I run to support the crown prince or acting king, or other princes, do you have any objections?" He doesn't know much about the situation in the court, but he also knows that the prince and acting king are now The dragon and the tiger are fighting each other.

"No, I don't interfere with your thoughts." Zheng Xilin still had a gentle and gentle look, "You just do what you want. If you want to support the prince, then support the prince. If you want to support If you are acting king or other princes, then support them."

"Father, you really don't care at all?" Zheng Rang could understand what his father meant, but he still couldn't accept it.He still hopes to get advice from his father.

"Although I am your father, I can't interfere with your life." Zheng Xilin said with a smile, "I just hope you don't regret the choice you made. You are an adult and you have to be responsible for the path you choose."

"Father, you don't care if something happened to me and my second brother in the capital, let us be responsible for the life we ​​choose?" Zheng Rang sometimes felt that the three of them were not important to his father at all.

Zheng Xilin seemed shocked by the elder son's words, he looked at Zheng Rang in astonishment: "If something happens to you, how can I just sit back and watch?"

"Father, you give me the feeling that even if we die in the capital, you won't care about us."

"Why do you think so, your father and I are such ruthless people?" Zheng Xilin was frightened by the idea of ​​the elder son, he didn't understand why the elder son had such an idea.

"Because Dad, you don't care much about our going to the capital."

Seeing that the eldest son misunderstood his meaning, Zheng Xilin smiled helplessly: "As a father, how could I not care, but I don't want to interfere in your life. I hope you don't care about me or other things, let go Do what you want."

"If you succeed, my father will be happy and proud of you. If you fail, my father will always be at home waiting for you to come back."

"You are still young, if you don't go out and run into obstacles, you will never make progress."

Hearing what Zheng Xilin said, Zheng Rang finally understood his painstaking efforts.

"Father, we will be responsible for our choices, and we will never do things that make us regret."

"It doesn't matter if you regret it, it's a big deal to start all over again."

"Father, don't you really want to tell us what's going on in the capital?"

"You need to see, listen, and explore by yourself, because you can understand something deeply." Zheng Xilin said with a light smile, "I also saw, listened, and explored by myself back then."

"Father, why don't you want to go back to the capital to continue assisting the emperor?" Zheng Rang hurriedly added, "I don't believe a single word of the reasons you said before."

Zheng Xilin was amused by the last sentence of the eldest son: "Since you don't believe me, why ask me again."

"I'm curious."

"Then I will tell you a new reason for my father, that is, my father is very lazy."

"What's the reason?"

Zheng Xilin smiled and said, "Believe it or not."

Zheng Rang: "..." Father is indeed incomprehensible.

"It's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest."

Zheng Rang didn't obediently go back to the room immediately, but asked: "Father, my brother said that his lord is in the capital, what do you think?"

"Let him go." Zheng Xilin said, "I hope he can really find his lord, so that we can be rescued."

What his father said was very true.

"You don't need to worry about Brother Qian's affairs." Zheng Xilin confessed, "He is no longer a child, you don't need to treat him like a child anymore. Even if he gets into trouble in the capital, you don't need to worry about it, just right Let him suffer." As for the youngest son, Zheng Xilin was too lazy to take care of him anymore.Even if he wanted to take care of it, the youngest son would not let him take care of him.

After the memory was over, Zheng Rang returned to his seat, and he could still feel that many ministers were looking at him.

He knew that the reason why these ministers paid so much attention to him was not because of him, but because he was Zheng Xilin's son.Although his father didn't say anything before coming to the capital, but through what happened just now, he has already figured out one thing, that is, his father is more "highly respected" than he imagined.

I'm afraid that in the next period of time, his side will not be clean.

He came to the capital to display his ambitions, not to gain power.He will not support any prince, he only wants to be a pure minister, and he only wants to do things well.

Alas, I'm afraid the crown prince or the person acting as king won't "let go" him so easily.They will try their best to win him over by all means.From now on, he has to be careful and never fall into their ways.

He has to stay with his uncle well in the future, so maybe it will be safer.

Zheng Rang now understands why his father said he has no energy.Just for a while, his heart was a little tired.

Zheng Rang felt a little headache when he thought that there might be endless conspiracies and tricks in the future, but he didn't have the idea of ​​going back.Since he decided to come to the capital to fulfill his ambition, he will never return to his hometown until he fulfills his dream, even if something dangerous happens later.

The morning court soon ended, and Zheng Rang ran to He Xiang's side very quickly.He is now the prime minister in charge of affairs, so naturally he has to be by He Xiang's side all the time.

Those ministers who wanted to make friends with Zheng Rang saw that he was with He Xiang, so they didn't go to surround him.

Zheng Rang followed He Xiang closely, and was relieved to see that the ministers did not approach.

He Xiang naturally knew Zheng Rang's thoughts.He teased: "Your father is too famous, and those who can't get his idea have no choice but to get their idea on you."

Zheng Rang said helplessly: "I only know that my father is so famous now." It seems that he needs to understand what his father did back then.

He Xiang looked at Zheng Rang, smiled meaningfully and said, "This is just the beginning, and there will be many things that will surprise you in the future."

"Uncle, I can only follow you closely." Before entering the court as an official, Zheng Rang clearly stated to He Xiang that he would not support any prince, and he only wanted to be a pure minister and realize his ambition.

When He Xiang heard what he said, he called him and told him something about the court.

"Then follow along." He Xiang said with a smile, "Let's go to Lanyuan Pavilion."

"Yes, He Xiang." Zheng Rang rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he had He Xiang and Grand Master Liu protecting him, otherwise he, a lamb who had just entered Beijing, would definitely be eaten by those who had other plans.

He was being watched so earnestly by the ministers in the court, and the second brother was probably the same way.

Alas, their father is really amazing. He hasn't returned to the capital for more than ten years, yet so many people miss him!

However, Zheng Cheng didn't exaggerate so much.

Eunuch Han knew that Zheng Cheng was Zheng Xilin's second son, so he just told the craftsmen to take good care of him, and did not do anything else.

People who are in Shangfangling are not ministers in the court, they don't have so many twists and turns, they just want to focus on making things.As for other things, they don't care.

Although they were curious about Zheng Cheng's identity, they were only curious for a while. After all, the fact that Zheng Cheng's father was Zheng Xilin had nothing to do with them.However, they will still listen to Eunuch Han, take care of Zheng Cheng, and teach him some skills.

As soon as Zheng Cheng came to Shang Fangling, he fell in love with the atmosphere here.The craftsmen here are very skilled, which is exactly what he wants to learn.

He is just an apprentice, not the son of Zheng Taiwei.He humbly asked the craftsmen for advice, and the craftsmen liked him very much when they saw that he did not disrespect them because of his status as Zheng Xilin's son.

After getting in touch for a while, they found that Zheng Cheng just wanted to make things well just like them, and they liked him even more in their hearts.

Within half a day, Zheng Cheng became acquainted with the craftsmen in the monk's order.

"Xiaofengzi, what are you making?" Eunuch Han asked with concern, "Are you making characters?"

Xiao Fengzi said: "Eunuch Han, this is made by His Majesty the Tenth Highness on behalf of the servants."

"What did His Royal Highness ask you to burn these characters for?"

Xiaofengzi shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either."

"Why did you burn so much?"

"These all failed to be fired, and did not meet the standards of His Highness the Tenth Highness." Xiao Fengzi said.After listening to His Royal Highness's instructions, he felt that this matter was easy to handle, but he did not expect it to be so difficult.It is very simple to carve characters with clay, but it is difficult to make the specifications of the fired ones exactly the same. "His Highness said that the words he wanted are very important."

Thinking of the stirrups before, Eunuch Han said to Xiaofengzi: "What His Highness wants is certainly not simple, just like the stirrups before, you have to do it with your heart."

"The servant understands."

Zheng Cheng knew about the stirrups, and the stirrups were passed on to them at that time.When he saw it, he was very shocked. He didn't expect that two ordinary iron rings would have such a big effect.

He heard that the stirrups were made by the young tenth prince, and he was very curious about the tenth prince. He really wanted to meet the tenth prince and ask how the tenth prince came up with the stirrups.

Zhao Yao, who had just finished school, suddenly felt his nose itch and sneezed unexpectedly.

Who is talking about him?
　The second watch is here.
