The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 218 Zheng Rang's Request

In Lanyuan Pavilion, after Zhao Yao and the fourth prince had lunch, they went to He Xiang and the others.

Seeing Zhao Yao coming, Zheng Rang hurriedly prepared milk tea and his own snacks.In Zhao Yao's words, it is a small biscuit.

The way of making small biscuits was naturally told by Zhao Yao to Zheng Rang.The three empresses and the fifth princess of the Kunde Palace can make it, and it is very delicious.

Zheng Rang recently likes to make all kinds of strange snacks made by Zhao Yao.He has never heard of or seen these snacks, but they are very delicious.Best of all, these treats are not difficult to make.

The milk tea was naturally taught by Zhao Yao, and it was different from the milk tea he had drunk before.Da Zhou, no, there has been milk tea since the previous dynasty, which was passed down from the Western Regions.However, the taste is rather strange, and the Central Plains people are not used to drinking it, but the milk tea made by Zhao Yao is very delicious.Zheng made the three brothers like to drink very much.Every morning, Zheng Rang would make a pot of milk tea, and then the three brothers would drink it with them.

Seeing the Tenth Prince coming down, He Xiang and Grand Master Liu invited him to play chess.

Ever since they found out that Zhao Yao was good at chess, He Xiang and Grand Master Liu liked to play chess with him.

After Zhao Yao met He Lianfang, he often played chess with He Lianfang.He originally knew how to play chess. After all, there was a gentleman in the palace who taught the princes how to play chess, but he played so-so.Later, after playing chess with He Lianfang, his chess skills improved a lot, and under the influence of He Lianfang, his chess style was very similar to He Lianfang.

He Lianfang's chess style is the same as his own, deep and dangerous, and unpredictable.In addition, he is good at the art of war, and he will use it unconsciously when playing chess.And after Zhao Yao met He Lianfang, he has been learning the art of war from him, and when playing chess, he will unconsciously use the art of war he learned from He Lianfang.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi are both chess masters, but it is not easy for them to beat Zhao Yao easily.

Playing chess with Zhao Yao, they always feel that they are playing chess with that lunatic He Lianfang.

Zheng Rang naturally knew how to play chess. The first time he saw Zhao Yao playing chess with He Xiang and the others, he was shocked by Zhao Yao's chess skills.

In his opinion, His Highness the Tenth Highness is obviously a simple, lively and cheerful child, but playing chess is completely opposite to his temperament. The style of chess is cold, deep and dangerous, even a little sinister.

Chess style is like character, but Zheng Rang doesn't think that Zhao Yao is an unfathomable, sinister and cunning person, because His Highness's eyes are very clear and clean.

Zheng Rang felt that the reason why Zhao Yao had such a chess style should be influenced by someone, who was very dangerous.

He asked He Xiang and Liu Taishi who taught the Tenth Prince how to play chess.He Xiang told Taishi Liu that he was a lunatic.He Xiang and the others didn't say who this lunatic was.

"Uncle, we can't let His Highness the Tenth Highness learn how to play chess from his lunatic master." A few days ago, on the way home from get off work, Zheng Rang hesitated again and again, but decided to tell He Xiang about the Tenth Highness playing chess. "The gentleman who taught the Tenth Highness how to play chess is too dangerous. If the Tenth Highness continues to learn how to play chess from him, the Tenth Highness will become like his husband."

Zheng Rang played a game of chess with Zhao Yao before, and he was cold all over.In the chess game, His Highness the Tenth Prince set up vicious and treacherous traps time and time again, and he would fall into it if he was not paying attention, and died a miserable death.

He Xiang asked gently, "Didn't you see it?"

Zheng Rang didn't understand what He Xiang meant, and asked with a blank face: "What do you see?"

"The Tenth Highness is not playing chess with you, but fighting with you." He Xiang smiled kindly, "Soldiers never tire of deceit."

Hearing what He Xiang said, Zheng Rang finally understood why playing chess with the Tenth Prince felt strange, it turned out to be a war.

"So this is ah."

"His Royal Highness has been fighting us with the art of war, so his chess style is treacherous." He Xiang said with a smile.

"No wonder." Zheng Rang finally understood why playing chess with the tenth prince felt dangerous. "Then His Royal Highness's art of war is very good." Zheng Rang has read military books and knows a little about art of war, but it is only on paper.

"The tenth highness's gentleman uses soldiers like a god, and the apprentices he teaches are naturally not bad." Although He Xiang hated He Lianfang, he had to admit that in terms of soldiers, He Lianfang was a god and no one could match him.His Highness has only learned the art of war from He Lianfang not long ago, but His Highness's attainments in the art of war have surpassed many soldiers.

The Tenth Highness himself is smart.He continued to learn the art of war with He Lianfang, and sooner or later he would be like He Lianfang.

"That Mr. Tenth Highness is really good." Zheng Rang said, frowned slightly, and sighed softly, "However, I still don't like this style of chess."

"It's not surprising that you don't like this style of chess. It's just that on the battlefield, people like us can't win." He Xiang didn't know much about the art of war, and he didn't know much about fighting. "You can only win if you don't tire of cheating."

"Uncle said so."

He Xiang continued: "In a while, Lao Liu and I will not be the opponents of His Highness the Tenth Highness." In terms of fighting, they are far behind He Lianfang.

"Uncle, who is the gentleman of the Tenth Highness?" Just now, Uncle Cai used the word "use soldiers like a god" to describe the gentleman of the Tenth Highness, which is a very high evaluation.The four generals in the court seem to have not reached this point.

He Xiang frowned slightly, and said with a cold face: "You don't have to worry about a lunatic."

Seeing that He Xiang didn't want to say more, Zheng Rang didn't ask any more, and changed the subject to talk about other things.

Now, as expected by He Xiang, he and Grand Master Liu are no longer the opponents of His Highness the Tenth Highness.

Every time Zhao Yao finished playing chess with He Xiang and the others, he would return to the Kunde Hall to replay the game, and then draw the chess game and send it to He Lianfang.

He Lianfang would guide Zhao Yao according to the chess game, which made Zhao Yao's chess skills improve a lot.

During this period of time, there was no rest, but Zhao Yao would write to He Lianfang every day.

He Lianfang also teaches Zhao Yao through letters every day.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi were convinced of their defeat, because they were really inferior to He Lianfang in terms of leading troops to fight.

"Your Highness the Tenth Prince is really powerful." Zheng Rang suddenly thought of Zheng Qian, "I really want His Royal Highness to play a game of chess with my younger brother, maybe my younger brother is not your opponent."

Zheng Qian is very good at chess, even better than their father.Neither their father nor they are the younger brother's opponent.

In my hometown, no one can win my little brother in chess.

"Your younger brother is also good at chess?" Zhao Yao is now familiar with Zheng Rang, and has heard a lot about Zheng Qian from Zheng Rang.

"Very powerful, so far no one is his opponent."

"Then your younger brother is an all-round genius." Zheng Rang complained to Zhao Yao about the arrogant and domineering things his younger brother did before.

"Yes, Tenth Highness, you beat He Xiang and Liu Taishi in chess, maybe you can beat my little brother." The more Zheng Rang thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Yao might beat Zheng Qian.He looked at Zhao Yao with anticipation in his eyes, "His Royal Highness, can I trouble you to play a game of chess with my younger brother?"

"Are you sure I can beat your genius brother?" Zhao Yao thought to himself how an ordinary person could win a genius. Zheng Zhengshi really thinks highly of him.

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work." Zheng Rang said, "You also know my little brother's temper. If you can beat him, he will know that there are people in this world who are better than him, so that he will no longer be arrogant and domineering."

"I don't think I can beat your genius brother."

"Your Highness, maybe you can do it." Zheng Rang said, and solemnly bowed to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhao Yao turned to He Xiang and the others for help.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi looked at Zhao Yao, said with a smile: "Your Highness, maybe you can really win Brother Qian."

"Brother Qian, that kid really needs someone to sharpen his spirits, otherwise the kid will always think that he is the smartest person in the world."

"His Royal Highness, may I cook your favorite dishes and snacks for you?" Zheng Rang was very good at bribing Zhao Yao.

When Zhao Yao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.However, he still pretended to be reluctant.

"Let's say it first, don't have too much hope for me."

Seeing that Zhao Yao agreed, Zheng Rang said gratefully: "It's his honor that you can come to play chess with my little brother."

"I'll take a rest the day after tomorrow. Let's go to your house in the evening. By then, you should be home from get off work."

"Your Highness, you must have dinner at our house, and I will cook you your favorite dishes."

"Okay." Zhao Yao was not polite.

"Your Highness, thank you very much."

Zhao Yao waved his hand: "I may not be able to beat your little brother, you don't need to thank me for now."

"Your Highness, I believe you can."

Zhao Yao: "..." Why does Zheng Zhengshi believe so much that he can beat his younger brother?

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard He Xiang said that you like arithmetic?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I really like arithmetic."

"My younger brother also likes arithmetic, and he is also very good at arithmetic. You can compare arithmetic with him the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Yao felt that Zheng made him think highly of him: "I've only learned arithmetic for a short time, so I'm definitely not as good as your brother. However, I can compete with your brother then."

"It's my brother's honor."

Zhao Yao was going to study painting in the afternoon, so he left Lanyuan Pavilion after a while without letting them chat with Zheng.Before leaving, he greeted the Fourth Prince.

After Zhao Yao left, Zheng Rang suddenly felt that it would be inappropriate for him to invite the Tenth Highness to his house rashly, and would it cause trouble for the Tenth Highness.

"He Xiang, if I invite the Tenth Highness to play chess with my younger brother at home, will it cause trouble for the Tenth Highness?"

He Xiang understood Zheng Rang's worries, and smiled kindly at him: "No, His Highness is still young." There are no ministers in the court to support His Highness, so there will be nothing for Tenth Highness to go to Zheng's house.

"That's good..." Zheng Rang was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly thought of His Highness the Tenth Highness and His Highness the Fourth Highness getting closer.If he suddenly invited the Tenth Highness to his house, would those people mistakenly think that he had taken refuge in the Fourth Highness? "Will it cause trouble for His Highness the Fourth Highness? After all, His Highness the Tenth Highness and His Highness the Fourth Highness have a very good relationship?"

He Xiang didn't expect to come here, he was slightly taken aback, and then smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Are you really all right?" Zheng Rang had never been in contact with the fourth prince. Seeing the cold look of the fourth prince, he always felt that the fourth prince was not easy to mess with.Furthermore, the fourth prince seemed to be avoiding him too.

"The fourth prince never interacts with the courtiers. The ministers all know his temperament, and they won't think too much just because the tenth prince went to your house."

Hearing what He Xiang said, Zheng Rang was relieved: "That's good."

Grand Master Liu saw Zheng Rang's nervous appearance and said with a smile: "The ministers of the court are not interested in His Highness' affairs, so you don't have to worry about anything wrong with His Highness."

Zheng Rang felt sorry for Zhao Yao when he heard Taishi Liu say that.

"I hope His Royal Highness can beat my little brother."

Grand Master Liu asked, "Is Brother Qian good at the art of war?"

"My younger brother has read military books, but I don't know if he is good at it." After all, my younger brother has never led soldiers to fight.

"The Tenth Prince is very talented in the art of war, and the possibility of winning brother Qian is very high." He Xiang stroked his beard and said.

"That's really great." Zheng Rang wished that Zhao Yao could win against his younger brother.

Zhao Yao returned to Kunde Hall, invited Zheng Rang to his house as a guest, and asked him to tell Liang Zhaoyi about Zheng Qian.

Liang Zhaoyi told Zhao Yao not to think too much, even if he went to Zheng's house, the ministers in the court would not care.

"If that Zheng Qian is really a genius, then you can play chess with him well, and you can learn a lot from it."

"I haven't seen a genius yet, I must take a good look at Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother the night after tomorrow."

Liang Zhaoyi reached out and poked her son's forehead, and said with a smile, "Aren't your fourth and starlings geniuses?"

"That's right, the fourth brother and the eighth brother are also geniuses." Zhao Yao scratched his head and said, "The fourth brother and the eighth brother hide it so well that people can't feel that they are geniuses."

"But they are, aren't they?" Liang Zhaoyi smiled, "Your fourth brother and eighth brother may not lose to Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother. So, don't be too surprised."

"Too."

"However, if you can really beat Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother, it would be a good thing. It can rub his spirit." Liang Zhaoyi said, "People who are too smart will be too arrogant and arrogant, which is not a good thing. Something. Zheng Zhengshi’s younger brother is young, I hope he can use his intelligence on the right path instead of challenging students everywhere.” Liang Zhaoyi heard about Zheng Qian from Zhao Yao.

"Mother and concubine, what are you worrying about?" Zhao Yao shrugged and said, "If I can win Zheng Zhengshi's little brother, then of course that's fine. If I can't, that's normal."

"My concubine thinks you can win."

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Then I will work hard." Zhao Yao didn't take Liang Zhaoyi's words to heart, he felt that Liang Zhaoyi was encouraging him.

"It's getting late, it's time for you to learn painting."

"Mother, I'm leaving."

When they got home from get off work at night, Zheng Rang told Zheng Qian that Zhao Yao wanted to come to them as their guest.

"By the way, I also invite His Royal Highness to play chess with you."

Hearing this, Zheng Qian asked in surprise, "Play chess with me?"

"The tenth prince is very good at chess. I invite him to play chess with you. Maybe he can beat you."

After hearing this, Zheng Qian let out a sneer: "Impossible."

"Nothing is impossible." Zheng Rang said, "His Majesty's chess skills are superb, even He Xiang and Grand Master Liu are not his opponents."

"He Xiang and Liu Taishi are not my opponents." Zheng Qian understood what his elder brother was thinking, "Brother, do you think that if His Highness wins He Xiang and Liu Taishi, he will definitely win against me?"

"It's very likely to win you."

"Brother, you underestimate me." Zheng Qian raised his chin slightly and said with a proud face, "No one can beat me at chess."

"Little brother, don't forget that His Majesty the Tenth Highness is the one who made movable type printing." Zheng Cheng now has a special admiration for Zhao Yao, "In my opinion, His Highness Tenth is no more stupid than you."

Zheng Qian was rarely silent when he heard his second brother's words.

"Whether the Tenth Highness can beat you, we will know when the Tenth Highness comes down to play with you the day after tomorrow." Zheng Rang raised his hand and gently patted Zheng Qian's shoulder, "You haven't played chess with the Tenth Highness, so don't First look down on His Highness the Tenth Highness. Just like what your second brother said, His Highness the Tenth Highness is not an idiot."

"Okay, then I'll wait for His Highness the Tenth Highness." In fact, Zheng Qian was very curious about the Tenth Highness that his two elder brothers were talking about.Of course, he would not tell his two brothers.

Sorry guys, I was suddenly dragged away last night to learn how to write, so I didn’t have time to code and update Chapter 2 last night.However, I didn't gain anything last night. I feel like I'm talking empty words without dry goods. It's a waste of my time.

There will definitely be a second update tonight.

Zhao Yao: I'm just an ordinary person, I can't beat your genius brother.

Zheng Rang: Your Highness, do you have any misunderstanding about yourself?

Zheng Cheng: Your Highness, if you are an ordinary person, then we are pigs.
