The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Zheng Cheng and Zheng Qian have been in Marsh Mansion for a while. As a father, Zheng Taiwei naturally misses them. It is normal for him to want to come to Marsh Mansion to see his two sons.

Zheng Cheng was happy that Captain Zheng was coming to Marsh Mansion to visit them, but Zheng Qian was a little unhappy. Zheng Qian felt that his father's purpose in coming to Marsh Mansion was not for them, but to see the situation in Marsh Mansion.

Zheng Qian objected to Taiwei Zheng coming to Marsh Mansion, but his objection was ineffective, and Taiwei Zheng was determined to come to Marsh Mansion.

"Your Highness, my father has bad intentions, just shut him out." They were doing well in Marsh Mansion and didn't want his father to come and ruin their peaceful life in Marsh Mansion. Having seen Captain Zheng's aura since childhood, Zheng Qian was worried that his father would bring trouble to the Marsh Mansion. "Your Highness, my father is a troublemaker and an old fox. You'd better not see him."

Zheng Cheng's face was full of disbelief when he saw Zheng Qian despising Taiwei Zheng so much.

"Brother, how can you say that about your father?" How can any son say that his father is troublesome and belongs to the old fox?

Zheng Qian asked with a cold face: "Did I say something wrong?"

Zheng Cheng was stunned by Zheng Qian's rhetorical question, because what Zheng Qian said was absolutely correct.

"You said this about father..." Father is indeed an old fox, but he can't say that in front of His Highness.

Zheng Qian interrupted Zheng Cheng and continued to say to Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, if others know that my father has come to Marsh Mansion, it will not only cause you trouble, but also put you in danger." Zheng Qian knew very well that the capital court's attitude towards his father To win over, if King Dai and the others knew that his father was coming to the Marsh Mansion, they would definitely suspect that His Highness had roped in his father, and they would definitely regard His Highness as their opponent.

His Highness is not interested in seizing a legitimate son, nor does he want to be involved in the bloody storm of seizing a legitimate son, so he came to Marsh Mansion. If His Highness is targeted by the capital because of his father's arrival, the princes in the Capital will definitely regard His Highness as a thorn in their side, and His Highness will be in a very dangerous situation at that time.

Although Zheng Cheng is not interested in political affairs, it does not mean that he is ignorant in this regard. Now when Zheng Qian said this, he immediately understood what impact his father's coming to Marsh Mansion would have on Zhao Yao.

He was very happy that Lieutenant Zheng came to Marsh Mansion to visit them before, but now he was uneasy and hurriedly agreed: "Your Highness, I'm right, my father can't come to Marsh Mansion." Why didn't he think of this.

After hearing what the two brothers said, Zhao Yao felt moved in his heart.

"Zheng Taiwei is your father. He is worried about you and came to the Marsh Mansion to visit you. It is the deep love between father and son. I have no reason to turn away Zheng Taiwei." Zhao Yao saw the worry in Zheng Qian's eyes and looked at you. They smiled reassuringly, "I think Taiwei Zheng will not come to Marsh Mansion to visit you as a Taiwei, but as a father. Besides, you haven't seen Taiwei Zheng for a long time, so you just Don’t you want to meet him?”

Zheng Qian said without hesitation: "I don't want to."

Zheng Cheng did not answer because he really wanted to see Captain Zheng.

"How are Taiwei Zheng planning to come here? It should be by boat from Quanting County to Marsh Mansion, right?" Taiwei Zheng's hometown is near Quanting County, which is close to the sea. Since the opening of the sea ban, the beach in Quanting County has become very lively, and maritime transportation has become very prosperous and convenient. The inland businessmen who came to participate in the trade conference this time basically took sea ships from the dock in Quanting County to Marsh Mansion.

Zheng Qian said with a dark face: "He is already on his way to Marsh Mansion. He will arrive at the dock of Marsh Mansion almost after the trade conference ends." Zheng Qian was very dissatisfied with Taiwei Zheng's behavior of "killing first and reporting later" .

"It's only a few days away. Then you two brothers will go to the pier to pick up Taiwei Zheng." Zhao Yao did not intend to pick up Taiwei Zheng at the pier. After all, Taiwei Zheng came to Marsh Mansion as a father to visit his two sons. , instead of coming to Marsh Mansion as an official to pay homage to him, His Highness the King of Han. Besides, if he went to the dock to pick up Captain Zheng, he would be too conspicuous. He was willing to bet that in a few days the news of Captain Zheng's visit to Marsh Mansion would spread throughout the capital, and by then he would not be able to clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Your Highness, it's better to drive him back directly."

"In both public and private matters, I can't drive away Captain Zheng." Zhao Yao looked at Zheng Qian who was displeased in a funny way. "When Captain Zheng arrives, you two brothers will entertain him well and show him the swamp." Mansion."

Zheng Qian saw that his persuasion was useless, so he scolded his father severely in his heart. He decided to wait until Lieutenant Zheng arrived at Marsh Mansion before he could "settle accounts" with him.

"Okay, Lieutenant Zheng is here to visit you. As sons, you two should be happy."

Zheng Cheng became happy and expectant again, but Zheng Qian was still full of dissatisfaction.

Zhao Yao stopped talking about Zheng Taiwei and continued to talk about the trade conference in the last few days.

After finishing lunch, the two brothers Zheng and Zheng Qian left the Han Palace and continued busy with their affairs.

There was still some time before the afternoon Cuju competition. Zhao Yao did not rush to the Cuju field, but returned to the study to take a rest. As for Lieutenant Zheng's imminent arrival at Marsh Mansion, he didn't take it too seriously.

Hearing the rumble of the wheelchair coming from outside the study, Zhao Yao did not open his eyes, and the corner of his mouth raised an intriguing arc.

After a while, He Lianfang's voice came from the door of the study.

"it's me."

Zhao Yao: "Second uncle, come in."

He Lianfang pushed the wheelchair and walked in slowly. Seeing Zhao Yao sitting at the table and looking at something, she asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Contract." Zhao Yao looked up at He Lianfang and asked with a smile, "Second uncle, shouldn't you be taking a lunch break at this hour? Why did you come to see me?" He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao and asked straight to the point: "Zheng Xilin is coming to Marsh Mansion, what do you think?"

Zhao Yao did not ask He Lianfang how he knew. He shrugged and said, "I don't have any ideas."

Hearing this, He Lianfang raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you want him to come?"

"Second uncle, Captain Zheng came to Marsh Mansion to visit his two sons as a father. Why should I refuse?" Zhao Yao winked at He Lianfang and said, "He didn't tell me, so I just pretended that I didn't know anything."

He Lianfang was a little surprised by Zhao Yao's answer.

"Zheng Xilin took the initiative to come to Marsh Mansion. Do you want to miss this opportunity?"

"Second uncle, you want me to take the opportunity to win over Zheng Taiwei?" After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "My father doesn't even have the ability to ask Zheng Taiwei to return to the capital to continue assisting him, so what ability do I have to let him come?" help me?"

Zhao Yao said with great self-knowledge: "Zheng Taiwei has been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Obviously he no longer wants to care about the rights and wrongs of the court, so why should I bring trouble to myself. Besides, I don't seize the direct descendants, so there is no need to please Zheng Taiwei. Even if I really have the ability to bribe Taiwei Zheng and ask him to assist me, it would be a waste of resources."

"Zheng Xilin assisted you, why did you waste everything?"

"If I don't seize the direct descendant, letting him stay in Lingnan and assist me, a little king of Han, is not a waste of natural resources." Zhao Yao felt that letting Zheng Taiwei assist him would be overqualified and underqualified. "It's too unfair for a talented person like Taiwei Zheng to serve as an official here. He should continue to assist his father and make the Zhou Dynasty better and better. It's a pity that he doesn't want to return to the capital." My father is not dreaming. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Zhao Yao's history, Zheng Taiwei did not have to retreat as quickly as Zhang Liang, but Zheng Taiwei still left the court and returned to his hometown to be an old farmer. To be honest, he didn't understand that such a talented person could not use his talents to benefit the people. However, everyone has his own ambitions, so it cannot be said that Taiwei Zheng's early retirement was wrong.

"If you think Zheng Xilin is useful, why not try to let him stay in Marsh Mansion to help you."

Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I already have two brothers, Zheng Cheng and Zheng Qian." If he wanted to seize the direct line, he would try his best to win over Zheng Taiwei, but he just wanted to be the King of Han in Lingnan, and Zheng Taiwei The talents of Wei's two sons can be used by him, but he does not need the talents of Zheng Taiwei. "I don't want to cause trouble for myself." He is busy enough now, but he doesn't want to be misunderstood by the capital because of Taiwei Zheng, and then get himself involved in trouble and danger.

"Second uncle, if you are interested in Captain Zheng, you can go and see him."

He Lianfang said: "I will go see him." He was going to test Zheng Xilin.

Zhao Yao did not talk about this matter again and told He Lianfang about the military parade on the last day of the trade conference.

Zhao Yao had to go to the Cuju competition in the afternoon and did not chat with He Lianfang for a long time.

He Lianfang watched the Cuju competition in the morning and did not plan to go there in the afternoon.

Returning to her study, He Lianfang sighed with a headache: "I don't want the treasure that was delivered to my door. It's really..."

Speaking of which, what is Zheng Xilin's purpose in coming to Marsh Mansion, and what kind of medicine is sold in Zhao Zheng's gourd.

At this time, the emperor who was far away in the capital was stretching his waist, but because of a sudden sneeze, his waist jerked and screamed in pain.

Upon seeing this, Sun Kui quickly stepped forward to give the emperor a massage.

"I'm getting old." The emperor rubbed his still aching waist, "My body has become sluggish."

"Your Majesty, you are in your prime, how old are you?"

"I have been sitting in front of this table for many years, and my body has become more and more sluggish." The emperor said sadly, "If I were not the emperor, but an idle prince, my body would be very strong now."

Sun Kui: "..."

"I'm going to lose my life if I become emperor." The emperor lay on the table and said in a resentful tone, "I want to be the emperor so much, when will this brat make me realize my wish?"

Sun Kui twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and reminded the emperor: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han is only seventeen years old."

"If the brat was twenty-seven this year, I would have abdicated long ago and made him the emperor." The emperor wanted to abdicate, become the Supreme Emperor, and live a happy life. "I'll wait another ten years." Zhao Zheng looked despairing at the thought of being the emperor for another ten years.

"By the way, I wonder if Lao Zheng has arrived at Marsh Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, did Lieutenant Zheng go to Marsh Mansion to help His Highness the King of Han?"

"I don't know, Lao Zheng is going to Marsh Mansion himself, saying he wants to see his two sons." The emperor said, "If you want Lao Zheng to help him, it depends on whether the brat has the ability to persuade Lao Zheng." The emperor wanted Zhao Yao to be able to Convince Zheng Xilin to help him. With the help of Zheng Xilin, Zhao Yao became even more powerful.

Sun Kui thought silently in his heart: Will His Highness the King of Han ask Lieutenant Zheng to help him?

If Zhao Yao were here, he would definitely tell Sun Kui: He won't!
