The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Zhao Yao stood by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, looking at the pier not far away.During the day, the pier is still lively, with people coming and going, and all kinds of yelling, it is completely impossible to see that there was a bloody fight here last night.

During this period of time, Jinling City and Suzhou Mansion, as well as the wharf of Runzhou Mansion, had fierce fights to the death every night.The riversides of Jinling River, Runhe River, and Suzhou Creek were all stained red with blood, and there was a strong smell of blood on the river and the banks, but in the daytime, the blood and blood smell disappeared completely, as if nothing happened. It didn't happen.

The people of Jinling City also seemed to know nothing, and were busy at the pier as usual.

Zhao Yao didn't see a trace of fear or uneasiness in the eyes of the people in Jinling City. They seemed to be used to these things and were not affected at all.

He deliberately asked the restaurant clerk about the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang, but the clerk kept his secret and persuaded him not to ask about it.

The buddy also told Zhao Yao that if he wanted to live in Jinling City, he should not ask anything about the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang, otherwise he would not know how to die.

Seeing that the people in Jinling City were indifferent to the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang, Zhao Yao thought they were used to it and were not afraid, but he did not expect that it was not that they were not afraid, but that they were too scared.They deliberately numb themselves and pretend they don't know anything.

The buddy also told Zhao Yao that if he wanted to live well in Jinling City, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.He also kindly reminded Zhao Yao that Jinling City was not peaceful during this time, he had better leave Jinling City as soon as possible and not stay here for long.

Zhao Yao thanked the waiter for his kindness, and left with his four good brothers after dinner.They did not rush home, but went to the teahouse where literati students in Jinling City liked to gather.

The children's exam is about to start, but the literati in the teahouse didn't say a word about it, as if they didn't know about it at all.In fact, it's not that they don't know, but they disdain to mention the imperial examination.To be precise, they directly ignored the imperial examinations.

The literati and students never talked about the imperial examinations, but only about Mr. Meng's previous articles and poems.After Mr. Meng passed away, they talked about Mr. Meng's works, as if this is the respect for Mr. Meng.

If they really respect Mr. Meng, they should listen to his advice and take part in the upcoming imperial examination.

Since the imperial court proposed the imperial examination, Mr. Meng Lao specially wrote several articles and some poems praising the imperial examination when he was ill, and persuaded students all over the world to actively participate in the imperial examination.

On weekdays, the literati in Jinling City highly sought after Mr. Meng's articles and poems, and even regarded them as their standard. However, they turned a blind eye to these few articles and poems written by Mr. Meng about the imperial examinations, and did not make any comments.

Mr. Meng originally planned to use his status as a great Confucian to promote the imperial examination before his death, but unfortunately his status as a great Confucian did not work at this time.Only then did the old man realize that in the face of interests, he, a great Confucian, is worthless and useless at all.

Before he died, he did not help at all, which made Mr. Meng pass away with regret.He always felt that he fell ill at the wrong time and died at the wrong time. If he could live a little longer, he would be able to help take charge of the imperial examinations, and many students would be able to take the imperial examinations.

When Zheng Xilin and Zhao Yao heard what Mr. Meng said, they tacitly did not tell him the truth about the old man.Even if the old man is in good health and is entrusted with the important task of taking the imperial examination, the literati and students in Jinling City will not take the imperial examination.

Zhao Yao sat in the teahouse for a while, and listened to the literati bragging about Mr. Meng's works during his lifetime, only to find it ironic and funny.

Really couldn't stand it, Zhao Yao took Song Jicai and the four of them out of the teahouse.

When I got back to the house, I found Zheng Xilin coming.

During this period of time, Zheng Xilin has been busy with other things and has no time to come to Zhao Yao and the others.Finally free today, he immediately came to see Zhao Yao and the others.

As soon as he saw Zhao Yao and the others, Zheng Xilin scolded them and asked why they didn't leave Jinling.

After Zhao Yao and the others were scolded obediently, they hurriedly coaxed Zheng Xilin, and it took him a long time to coax him well.

Song Jicai and the others knew that Zheng Xilin had something to say to Zhao Yao, so they left wisely.

In the study, Zheng Xilin looked at Zhao Yao with a straight face, without saying a word.

Zhao Yao blinked at him innocently, then smiled flatteringly at him: "Uncle San, don't you think I'm fine?"

Zheng Xilin glared at Zhao Yao, and said helplessly, "What do you want to do in Jinling?"

Zhao Yao said with a smile on his face, "I just want to see what will happen to Jinling after Mr. Meng leaves."

"Do you know now?" Zheng Xilin asked angrily, "Has your curiosity been satisfied?"

Zhao Yao didn't answer Zheng Xilin's question, but asked directly: "Uncle San, what are you doing in Jinling? If you want to save Mr. Meng's family, shouldn't you go to Runzhou Mansion?" In Jinling Mansion, There is no Meng family.

Zheng Xilin said expressionlessly: "I stay in Jinling City to take care of my own business."

Zhao Yao glanced at Zheng Xilin, and at this moment a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he asked in astonishment: "Third Uncle, you didn't stay in Jinling City to save the Meng family, but to catch the mastermind behind the scenes." ?”

"This is not something you should care about." Zheng Xilin looked at Zhao Yao suddenly with severe eyes, and his tone became very serious, "Leave Jinling as soon as possible."

Hearing what Zheng Xilin said, Zhao Yao was even more certain of his guess.His expression became serious in an instant, and his tone was full of worry: "Third Uncle, it will be dangerous for you to stay in Jinling City."

"Don't worry about me, I won't be in danger." Zheng Xilin said with a cold face, "If you stay in Jinling, I will be in danger."

"Will I bring danger to you if I stay in Jinling?" Zhao Yaoxian didn't understand what danger he would bring to Zheng Xilin if he stayed in Jinling City, after all, he didn't do anything.Soon, he thought of it. "Because I'm the prince?"

Seeing that Zhao Yao thought of it, Zheng Xilin didn't say much.

"Now that you know, then leave as soon as possible."

Although Zhao Yao thought about it, he still didn't understand, and asked with a puzzled face: "The officials in Jinling don't take me seriously as a prince at all. What danger can I bring you?" He came to Jinling with a For many months, the officials of Jinling did not appear in front of him from the beginning to the end, as if they did not know that he, the tenth prince, was in Jinling.

Jinling's officials and aristocratic families ignored him as the tenth prince, and he didn't do anything, so what trouble could he bring to Third Uncle?
"You are the prince after all. If you continue to stay here, you might get involved in these things." Zheng Xilin said, "If you are really involved, you should know that the prince and the acting king will not care about your life or death. "

It's still stuck, the writing is still not smooth, and my hair is almost pulled out (crying with my head in my arms).

Although it is still a very short chapter, it is still updated.

Alas, I will continue to work hard, I must quickly find a way to write the plot smoothly, or I will be bald.
