The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 267 Starling Wants to Use the Kong Family to Fight the Li Family in the Future

In He Lianfang's house, Zhao Yao was sitting on the porch, nibbling an apple with relish.

Watching Zhao Yao gnaw apples like an emperor, like a squirrel gnawing chestnuts.He Lianfang sighed in her heart: As expected of father and son.

When he lost his teeth before, Zhao Yao didn't dare to eat apples.If he eats an apple, he will lose his teeth.Besides not eating apples, he also doesn't eat anything hard.

Now, all the teeth have grown, and there is no need to worry about losing teeth suddenly when eating.He wants to eat all the things he didn't dare to eat before.

"What do you think about worshiping Mr. Li?" He Lianfang was also eating apples, but what he ate was apples cut into small pieces.His teeth were not as good as Zhao Yao's, and he gnawed hard on the apple.

Zhao Yao spat out the apple seeds in his mouth, and then said, "Father did it on purpose."

He Lianfang continued to ask: "What is your father's purpose?"

"Suppress the Kong family, suppress the Duke of Zhen." After Zhao Yao finished eating the apple, he put the apple on a plate aside, picked up another apple, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, it was really delicious!

"Brother Prince's proposal to worship Kong Kangda is to improve the status of the Kong family, so that the Kong family can compete with the Li family." Zhao Yao was not in a hurry to eat the new apple, he threw the new apple in the air, and then reached out to catch it. "Although the Kong family did not explicitly support the elder brother of the prince, the Kong family has always only supported the eldest son [Prince]. Unfortunately, the Kong family has not been reused by the emperor these years, and has always been inferior to the Li family."

He also said: "The Kong family is also anxious, but for so many years, the Kong family has not produced a great Confucian except Kong Kangda. The prince brother and the others proposed to worship Kong Kangda, and the Kong family was naturally happy. It's just that they didn't expect that the father would move Mr. Li. Come out, compared to what Mr. Li has done for the world's scholars, Kong Kangda is nothing."

If Sun Kui was here, when he heard what Zhao Yao said, he would definitely feel in his heart that he and the emperor deserved to be father and son.

"The Li family never mentioned the matter of asking the world's scholars to worship Mr. Li, but the Kong family had the nerve to let the world's scholars worship Kong Kangda, and said that Kong Kangda was the hero of the world's scholars, and he saved the seeds of scholars." Speaking of this, Zhao Yao's beautiful There was a sneering smile on the cute little face, "Didn't the Kong family harm the scholars all over the world back then? Isn't everything that Kong Kangda did should be done? I don't understand how the Kong family has the nerve to blow Kong Kangda the hero of the world's scholars."

He Lianfang mocked: "You also said that apart from Kong Kangda, the Kong family can't find anyone else."

"That's right." Zhao Yao returned to the subject, "Although the Kong family is said to be a scholarly family, it has been tied to the aristocratic family and the royal family since a long time ago. Zhen Guogong and the others want to improve the status of the Kong family. It's a pity that the father will not fulfill their wish, so there is a matter of worshiping Mr. Li."

Zhao Yao's analysis made sense, and He Lianfang nodded.He asked again: "What do you think the prince and Duke Zhen will do next?"

"They don't do anything, they wait for Dai Wang to praise Mr. Li and the Li family. It's best to blow the Li family to the sky, and then they make a move." Zhao Yao grinned and said, "Brother Prince and Lord Zhen Guo, they want to Praise and kill the Li family."

"And then?" He Lianfang asked, "Do you think Dai Wang and the others will flatter the Li family in order to attack the Kong family?"

"According to common sense, Dai Wang and the others will, but now they may not." Zhao Yao said thoughtfully, "Praising the Li family is of no benefit to Dai Wang and the others." With the temperament of mynah, Now, nothing will happen to the fourth brother and the Li family behind the fourth brother.

"If Daiwang and the others don't flatter the Li family as Duke Zhen and the others wish, what do you think Duke Zhen will do next?" He Lianfang said, "Duke Zhen is not a master who is submissive. Being suppressed by your father like this, He couldn't resist."

"Second Uncle, you are wrong, Mr. Zhen Guo will not do anything in the future." Zhao Yao broke the apple in his hand into two halves.Now his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he can break the apple without too much effort. "He doesn't dare to move the Li family now. Once he moves the Li family, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the father. It just gives the father a fair excuse to move the Xie family."

"Do you think the Zhen Guo Guild will endure it?"

"Forbearance is far from enough. For Duke Zhen, this matter is not a big deal." Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "The worship of Kong Kangda is actually testing the attitude of the emperor. Now he already knows With the attitude of the father, how dare he continue to hit him, he is not an idiot."

If Duke Zhen is an idiot, if he can't bear it, Duke Zhen's mansion will be ruined.

"After testing the father and the queen, the Duke of Zhen and the elder brother of the prince will be honest for a while."

"Where's your fourth brother?"

"Brother Prince and Lord Zhen Guo will not take fourth brother seriously for the time being, because in their eyes, fourth brother is a pawn used to check and balance him and the king." Zhao Yao said, "Even if they move fourth brother, they will Not at this time, because the father wants to praise the fourth brother." This is a good thing for the fourth brother.

"However, after the fourth brother becomes the king and has a fief, it will be hard to say if the fourth brother continues to stay in the capital like the third brother." Alas, he hoped that the fourth brother would immediately go to the fief when he became the queen, and stay away from the capital. These intrigues.On the one hand, he didn't want the fourth brother to go to the fief, but hoped that the fourth brother could stay in the capital, and he was reluctant to let the fourth brother go.

"Will your father leave the fourth prince?"

"I don't know." The father is now promoting the fourth brother in order to check and balance the crown prince and acting king, and he may not let the fourth brother go to the fiefdom.However, the fourth brother has always wanted to go to his own fiefdom to realize his ambition and benefit the people. "If I were the fourth brother, I would leave the capital the day after I became queen."

"It's still too early for you to leave the capital."

Mentioning this incident, Zhao Yao slumped his shoulders, his small face was full of displeasure.

"Oh, those who want to leave can't, and those who don't want to leave have to go. It's a trick of luck."

He Lianfang thought it was funny, picked up the apple core and threw it at Zhao Yao.

"Big fart, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Yao reached out to catch the apple core, and said with a smile: "I just sigh."

Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and bid farewell to He Lianfang: "Second Uncle, it's getting dark, I should go back."

He Lianfang nodded lightly: "Be careful on the road."

After Zhao Yao left He Lianfang's house, he was not in a hurry to return to Liang Runa, but went to the West Market first.

In the past two years, more and more people from the Western Regions have come to the capital to do business.In the West Market, you can often see people from the Western Regions wearing exotic clothes, high noses and deep eyes.

Zhao Yao likes the bustling West Market full of fireworks.He took Tong Xi to stroll around the West Market, shopping for food.

Tong Xi saw a person with sharp eyes, and hurriedly said to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, don't you think that is Yu Hai?"

Zhao Yao looked in the direction of Tong Xi's finger, and sure enough, he saw Yu Hai and an acquaintance.He couldn't remember who the acquaintance was for a while, but he felt familiar.

"Your Highness, is that man Kong Taichang's son?" Tong Xi still had a good memory.

Hearing what Tong Xi said, Zhao Yao remembered.

"Yes, it's him."

"Your Highness, how come Yu Hai is with Kong Taichang's son?" Tong Xi asked again, "Your Highness, should we go and see?"

"Follow up to see something, what's interesting." Although Zhao Yao was curious about why Yu Hai was with Kong Yuan, he would not follow up because of this.It would be hard to explain if Yu Hai noticed that he was following him. "Let's go quickly, don't let Yu Hai find us."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Yao shuttled through the crowd with Tong Xi.Just as they turned to leave, Yu Hai cast his gaze over.

Yu Hai felt that someone was watching him, so he looked back vigilantly.Fortunately, Zhao Yao and the others left in time, otherwise Yu Hai would have seen them.

Zhao Yao and Tong Xi did not stroll on the street, but returned to Liang Run's house.

Liang Run is now an imperial merchant, so it is not appropriate to live in a small courtyard in an alley.Last year, I spent some money and bought a big house in West Market.Of course, compared to the mansions of the dignitaries in Dongshi, it was still very small.

In the study, Zhao Yao was thinking about the scene he saw just now.

"Oh, the starling is really getting more and more sophisticated." He didn't expect the starling to have an intersection with Kong Yuan.

"Your Highness, what's the matter between the Eighth Prince and Kong Taichang's son?" Tong Xi suddenly thought of something, with a horrified expression on his face, "The Eighth Prince has an affair with Kong Taichang's son, the Eighth Prince is really amazing!"

Liang Run was amused by Tong Xi's words: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as having an affair."

"So it seems that myna proposed to worship Kong Kangda." What is myna's purpose for doing this, to test his father's attitude like Lord Zhen Guo?

No, mynah's purpose is definitely not that simple.

In the long run, the starling wants to use the Kong family to fight against the Li family in the future.

"How could Kong Taichang's son seek refuge with the Eighth Prince?" On the surface, the Eighth Prince was a prince with no power, and Kong Yuan, as the direct son of the Kong family, how could he seek refuge with a prince from a humble background.

"Second Uncle, you forgot, Mynah belongs to the elder brother of the Prince, so it's not surprising that Mynah uses this status to get close to Kong Yuan." Zhao Yao guessed that the reason why Kong Yuan joined the Eighth Prince was to avenge his sister.As for why he didn't directly join the prince, it was probably because he looked down on the prince. "Kong Yuan should have taken refuge with mynah himself, but Kong Taichang didn't know." With Kong Taichang's temperament and behavior, he would never agree that Kong Yuan took refuge with mynah.

"The Eighth Prince is too... This servant feels that the word "powerful" is not enough to describe it." Even the Kong family can be wooed, the Eighth Prince is really really... so amazing.

Liang Run said with emotion: "Fortunately, Yaoyao, you and the Eighth Prince are good brothers, not enemies." Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to have an enemy as intelligent and skilled as the Eighth Prince.

"It's really terrible to be an enemy with starlings." Zhao Yao couldn't help worrying about the fourth prince in his heart.

"By the way, Yaoyao, where is the worship of Mr. Li, do you want to participate?"

"At Taixue's worship ceremony, I naturally want to participate."

A few days later, Zhao Yao and his group went to Taixue to participate in worshiping Mr. Li.

Before, the emperor ordered that the worship of Mr. Li must be solemn.

The prince did not dare to neglect, and prepared very carefully.

When worshiping Mr. Li, the prince praised Mr. Li's achievements in front of all the literati and students in the capital.

His feelings were very sincere, and his tone was ups and downs, which made the blood boil and tears filled the eyes of the people present.

The prince did not exaggerate Mr. Li's achievements, but after listening to the people present, he felt that Mr. Li was a very great person.At the same time, everyone was very ashamed, because they forgot Mr. Li's great kindness.

As Zhao Yao listened, he sighed in his heart: I didn't expect the prince's brother to have... By the way, the talent of an orator.

Hearing the prince's words, the Li family couldn't help being not at all happy, but worried.Although the crown prince did not exaggerate the praise of Mr. Li, they were terrified when they heard it.

Over the years, the Li family have worshiped Mr. Li in the ancestral hall of the Li family. They have never paid homage to Mr. Li publicly, just because they don't want scholars all over the world to think that Mr. Li is their benefactor.

After the Li family founded Taixue, it has been attracting attention.The Li family doesn't want to make a high profile, and then bring the Li family to the forefront.

Two days ago, servant Li shot into the palace to beg the emperor not to worship Mr. Li again in the future.His old man didn't like these at all.

The emperor also understood the temperament of the Li family, and said that he would only pay homage this time, and he would never pay homage with much fanfare in the future.

The eulogy written by the prince was very well written, and it won a wave of favor in front of the students in the capital.However, this does not make Taixue students support him.

After paying homage to Mr. Li, the crown prince and Duke Zhen Guo didn't wait for Dai Wang and Xuan Ping Hou to praise Li's family, and felt strange.

Xuan Pinghou originally had such a plan, but was stopped by his counselors.The counselor felt that flattering the Li family was of no benefit to them, and instead helped the fourth prince, there was no need to make a wedding dress for the fourth prince.

Dai Wang and Xuan Ping Hou felt that the counselor was right, so they gave up flattering the Li family.Of course, they did not give up stepping down the Kong family.

Because of Kong Kangda, what the head of the Kong family did was brought up again, which is tantamount to "whipping the corpse" to the current Kong family.

The literati and students who experienced this incident were full of anger, so the current Kong family was angered, which affected the reputation of the current Kong family.

During this period of time, Kong Taichang only felt ashamed to face people.If possible, he would like to find a seam in the ground and get in.He originally wanted to pretend to be sick and recuperate at home so that he would not have to face the ridicule of his colleagues, but he didn't dare to deceive the king to pretend to be sick, so he could only bite the bullet and go up to court.

Fortunately, this matter was soon replaced by the fact that the fourth prince was about to come of age, and now the ministers were more concerned about the title and fief of the fourth prince.

Seeing that the fourth prince's birthday was approaching, Zhao Yao became nervous unconsciously. Although he guessed that the fourth prince's fief might be Liangzhou, everything was possible before things were finalized.

By the way, he is still worrying about what birthday gift to give to the fourth prince recently.

Concubine Liang once reminded Zhao Yao that the fourth prince has always taken great care of him.On the fourth prince's birthday this time, Zhao Yao should send a big gift to the fourth prince.

Great gift.

What a great gift to give.

Zhao Yao thought about it, and finally thought that Liangzhou was mountainous and the terrain was relatively rough, so he thought of a big gift for the fourth prince.

　There is one more tonight.

　　After the fourth prince becomes an adult, the male protagonist will grow up several years later, when the eighth prince is about to become an adult.

　　Finally, ask for a monthly ticket!Ask for a reward!Please leave a message!
