The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 508 It’s hard to send a gift to a god
Regardless of Taiwei Zheng's identity, let's just say that he is very funny, knowledgeable, and down-to-earth, with no airs at all. If he were not Taiwei Zheng, Zhao Yaoting would have wanted to be friends with him forever, but it was a pity.

Seeing the regretful expression on Zhao Yao's face, Tongxi asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just feel it's a pity." To be honest, I had a lot of fun chatting with Taiwei Zheng this afternoon.

"Your Highness, what are you regretting? Is it a pity that you didn't catch a good fish?" Tongxi patted the fish basket hanging next to his horse, which was filled with fish of all sizes. "Your Highness, you have caught a lot of fish, but you don't think you have caught enough fish. Didn't you see the envious look in Uncle Lin's eyes?" That whole afternoon, Uncle Lin didn't catch a single fish. Fortunately, His Highness was kind-hearted and gave Uncle Lin some fish before leaving. Otherwise, Uncle Lin would not have a good account when he got home at night.

Thinking of Taiwei Zheng's envious and jealous eyes, Zhao Yao couldn't help but want to laugh: Unexpectedly, the famous Taiwei Zheng couldn't catch a single fish.

"Your Highness, that Uncle Lin is not an ordinary person, right?" That Uncle Lin is good-looking, has a fairy spirit, and speaks very profoundly. He is not like an ordinary old man.

"Can you tell?"

"I can tell." The colleague asked curiously, "Your Highness, who is he?"

"Lieutenant Zheng."

"Oh, Zheng..." At this point, Tongxi's expression instantly became shocked, and he exclaimed, "What, he is Taiwei Zheng?!" His scream scared the people hiding in the trees on both sides of the road. The bird flew up.

"Keep your voice down." Fortunately, they were on the road and there was no one on the roadside.

Tong Xi quickly covered his mouth, then put down his hands after a while, lowering his voice and asked: "Your Highness, is Uncle Lin really Zheng Taiwei?" The people of Zhou Jiangshan are the best counselors in the world.

Zhao Yao saw Tong Xi's expression of disbelief and asked funnyly: "Don't he look like that?"

"They still look alike." Uncle Lin's appearance and temperament make him look like a master at first glance. But I didn't expect that the old man turned out to be Taiwei Zheng. "Your Highness, didn't Lieutenant Zheng leave?" He remembered Master Zheng said that his father had returned to his hometown.

Mentioning this matter, Zhao Yao frowned: "Obviously, he didn't leave."

"Your Highness, it's a good thing that Lieutenant Zheng hasn't left. You can ask him to help you..." Before Tong Xi could finish his words, Zhao Yao hit him hard on the head.

Zhao Yao hit Tong Xi on the head with a riding whip and said angrily: "Do you think I have a long life? If you ask Taiwei Zheng to stay and help me, I will die very quickly." This is Taiwei Zheng. A time bomb that will be blown up if left nearby.

Tong Xi covered the painful area where Zhao Yao had knocked him, and asked with a puzzled and aggrieved expression: "Your Highness, why is this?"

"Don't you know who Taiwei Zheng is? Even if his father asked him to go back, he would not go back. If I keep him here, I will become the target of public criticism." Zhao Yao glanced sideways at his innocent and stupid colleague. Hi, "Second brother and the others can let me go then? Will I still have a peaceful life?"

Hearing what Zhao Yao said, Tong Xi finally reacted.

"Your Highness, wouldn't it be dangerous for Lieutenant Zheng to stay in Marsh Mansion?"

"It's very dangerous. We have to let him leave as soon as possible, otherwise the people in the capital will find out sooner or later." Zhao Yao raised his whip and said, "Let's go back to Zheng Qian and ask him to send his father away tonight."

"Your Highness, please wait for me."

Zhao Yao drove away Taiwei Zheng for another reason besides the reason he just mentioned, that is, Taiwei Zheng knew that his father had chosen him. While fishing in Yechi in the afternoon, Zheng Taiwei asked him many questions about people's livelihood, although he was confused by them all.

It was impossible for Taiwei Zheng to ask him these questions for no reason, and his old man had traveled all over Lingnan in the past few months, told him many people's livelihood problems in other Lingnan prefectures, and asked him how to solve them. Of course, he was put off by him.

Seeing that telling him about these people's livelihood issues didn't work, Zheng Taiwei talked to him about historical events. He said that he had not read many books and did not understand these historical things. Unexpectedly, Taiwei Zheng did not intend to let him go and continued to talk about historical events.

I have to say that Taiwei Zheng has a unique perspective when it comes to those things in history. You can really learn a lot from chatting with him.

Just chatting with him for an afternoon, he felt that it would benefit him throughout his life.

Alas, it's a pity that Captain Zheng is a dangerous person and he can only stay away.

Zhao Yao hurriedly returned to the Han Palace and asked the guards to invite Zheng Qian over.

"Zheng Qian, your father didn't leave, why didn't you tell me?"

When Zheng Qian heard Zhao Yao's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a puzzled face: "Your Highness, my father has left Lingnan a long time ago. What do you mean by this?"

Looking at Zheng Qian's confused expression, Zhao Yao said in surprise: "Don't you know that your father has not left the Marsh Mansion?"

"Your Highness, where did you see my father?" Zheng Qian frowned slightly and asked, "Where did you see him?"

"Beside a wild pond outside the swamp mansion, Lieutenant Zheng was fishing there." Zhao Yao asked with some surprise, "You really don't know that your father didn't leave?"

"A month ago, my father wrote a letter saying that he had gone back." Zheng Qian's face became very ugly when he thought of his father cheating on him.

"It seems that Lieutenant Zheng deliberately hid the fact that he didn't leave from you." Zhao Yao became more and more puzzled, why did Lieutenant Zheng do this? Also, what is the purpose of his stay in Marsh Mansion? Is it just to investigate him? Hasn't the old man stopped asking about the affairs of the court for a long time? How can he have the leisure to be curious about his affairs?

"I'll drive him away now."

"Come back." Zhao Yao called Zheng Qian back, "If you run to chase Captain Zheng now, wouldn't it reveal that I know him?"

"Lord, my father cannot stay in the Marsh Mansion."

"I know your father can't stay in the Marsh Mansion, but you can't just pass by like this. You have to pretend that you accidentally learned that his old man hasn't left yet." Zhao Yao told Zheng Qian with a serious face, "You must not expose my acquaintance. It’s your father’s fault, otherwise things will become more troublesome.”

Zheng Qian understood Zhao Yao's concerns, "Lord, don't worry, I will handle this matter well and will never let my father know that you know him."

"Has your father told you before why he came to Lingnan? He can't really come here for fun, right?" He didn't believe that Taiwei Zheng came to Lingnan to eat, drink and have fun. If he really came here for fun, then why didn't he come before, and why did he choose to come after the trade conference.

"He said he came here for fun." Zheng Qian didn't believe his father's statement. "I think he came to Marsh Mansion specifically to see the trade conference held by your lord."

"I guess this is just one of the purposes. His old man must have other purposes." Maybe it is just like what he guessed. After all, Taiwei Zheng is the founding hero of the country. "I really hope he is not here for me." His father chose him as his successor, but he did not agree.

"My lord, I should be here just for you." Zhao Yao sighed helplessly after hearing this: "I guess so." He held his forehead with a headache, "Zheng Qian, find a way to send away your father's giant Buddha. . If he stays in Marsh Mansion, the capital will definitely know about it, and I won’t be able to clean it up by jumping into the Yellow River.”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will send him away." Even if his father didn't want to leave, he would kidnap him.

"Actually, I benefited a lot from chatting with your father this afternoon. Unfortunately, your father's identity is too important and too sensitive, so I dare not have a close relationship with him."

Zheng Qian said with disgust: "He is just a trouble."

Zhao Yao talked to Zheng Qian for a while before letting him leave.

In the evening, Zhao Yao learned that Zheng Qian accidentally bumped into Zheng Taiwei.

At this time, in Zheng Qian’s house.

"The King of Han really knows about me." Taiwei Zheng didn't believe that his son bumped into him accidentally.

"Stop being so sentimental, His Highness doesn't know you." Zheng Qian not only didn't have a good tone, but also didn't have a good face towards Taiwei Zheng, who was respected by countless people. His dislike for his father was clearly shown. "If His Highness knew you, he would be eager to drive you away immediately."

"Aren't you just chasing me away now?" While chatting in the afternoon, Taiwei Zheng noticed Zhao Yao's wariness towards him. Later, he deliberately asked those questions, but His Highness the King of Han avoided answering, so he knew that His Highness the King of Han recognized him.

"Is it because of His Highness that you didn't leave?"

Taiwei Zheng said unambiguously: "Yes, and no."

"His Highness is not interested in the throne. Your efforts to inspect His Highness are in vain." Zheng Qian said with contempt on his face, "You are really hypocritical."

Taiwei Zheng, who was drinking tea, heard his youngest son calling him hypocritical and was so angry that he choked on his tea.

"Ahem, cough, cough, brat, what did you say?"

"Hypocritical in the extreme."

Taiwei Zheng pointed angrily at Zheng Qian and said, "Tell me clearly, how can you, me, and I be so hypocritical?"

"Aren't you not interested in the affairs of the court, and don't want to deal with the affairs of the court anymore, then why did you come to Marsh Mansion to test His Highness?" Zheng Qian sneered, "Pretending to be indifferent to the world, the results have always been Do you think you are hypocritical for caring about the affairs of the imperial court?”

Lieutenant Zheng laughed angrily: "I came to Marsh Mansion to see your lord, so you are becoming hypocritical."

"Isn't it?" Zheng Qian said in a sharp tone, "Don't judge my lord by your methods. Besides, my lord has never disdained to inherit the throne from beginning to end."

"I see." Zheng Taiwei said with a smile, "Your lord dislikes being an emperor just like his father." It is true that like father, like son.

"Since you have found out that my lord disdains being emperor, you should go back." Zheng Qian said with a cold face, "Don't force me to tie you up."

"Unfilial son, how could you ever talk to me like this?"

Zheng Qian said with a cold face: "You can sever the father-son relationship with me and disown me as your son."

Lieutenant Zheng was angered by his youngest son's words, but there was nothing he could do about this brat.

"You brat, your wings are hard, aren't they?"

"My wings have always been strong." Everyone in the world, including the emperor who is more than ten thousand people, must be polite to Taiwei Zheng, but Zheng Qian is the only one who has no respect for his father. "I don't care what you and the emperor are planning. If you put the lord in danger, I will sever the father-son relationship with you."

Taiwei Zheng was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, "The King of Han is your father, right?" Why did he give birth to such an unfilial son, just to make him angry?

"Your presence in the Marsh Mansion will bring danger to the Lord. You will leave early tomorrow morning."

"I'm not leaving. I want to formally pay homage to the King of Han tomorrow."

"The master said he didn't want to see you, and he asked you to go back and forth wherever you went."

"This is what you said." Zheng Taiwei glanced at his youngest son, "I have something serious to tell the King of Han. Take me to see the King of Han tomorrow."

"I told you that my lord won't see you. You should leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning. Don't force me to kidnap you." Zheng Qian was too lazy to say anything to Lieutenant Zheng and turned around to leave.

"Smelly boy... stinky boy... stinky boy..." Taiwei Zheng called several times, but his youngest son did not look back at him.

Zheng Qian didn't know what Taiwei Zheng's business was, but he had to tell Zhao Yao.

"You want to see me for something serious?" Zhao Yao asked, "What kind of serious matter do you think it will be?"

"It's not a good thing. Master, you don't need to see him."

"Now that Lieutenant Zheng has learned that I recognized him, and he has something to ask me for, I can't help but see him." Zhao Yao sighed in his heart. Being too smart is really not a good thing. "Besides, I have something to tell him clearly, so that he can leave the Marsh Mansion willingly." The top priority is to send this giant Buddha away as soon as possible.

"I will go to your house to see him now and speak clearly to save you a long night and a lot of dreams."

When Zhao Yao appeared in front of Taiwei Zheng, Taiwei Zheng glanced at his youngest son. Zheng Qian gave him a blank look.

"Your Highness, you really recognized Cao Min."

"Mr. Zheng, if you pretend not to know me, then I can only cooperate with you." Zhao Yao didn't bother to beat around the bush and asked straight to the point, "I wonder, Mr. Zheng, what do you want to see me for?" But that was definitely not what he was thinking. That thing.

Taiwei Zheng did not answer Zhao Yao's question, but asked: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
