Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

Zheng Zhengjin walked slowly towards the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Just thinking that Li Xueyan was still named Princess Wencheng by Li Shimin, but had nothing to do with Songtsen Gampo, he felt relieved. If Tubo was fine, then it would be fine. If they dared to cause trouble, then let Abao carry his Mo Dao and go to Tubo for a tour.

"You three are rare guests, and your presence has brought glory to my palace." Zheng Zhengjin said directly after he arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake and saw the three people drinking tea.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty." The three men were all veterans and knew the rules.

Seeing Zheng Zhengjin coming back, Yutou was very happy, and then bowed and said, "Your servant greets the prince."

Zheng Zhengjin said to Yutou, "Go find your young lady. They are discussing something in the front yard."

"I'll take my leave." Then Yutou ran away like the wind, making Zheng Zhengjin think that there was a dog chasing him.

Zheng Zhengjin came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, sat down at the stone table and said, "My three lords, please take a seat. I wonder what important matter has brought you to my palace today?"

Zheng Qishuang asked first: "I wonder if Your Highness is willing to sell this glass cup?" He looked at Zheng Zhengjin with a smile, and then looked at the crystal clear glass cup with a smile.

Zheng Zhengjin said, "Sir Zheng, if your last name wasn't Zheng, I would have sold it to you."

"What does the prince mean? Does he look down on my Rongyang Zheng family?" Zheng Qishuang felt a little unhappy. Who is he looking down on?

"Master Zheng, you are joking. Let's talk about this alone." Zheng Zhengjin's meaning was very clear, that is, Pei Ji and Kong Yingda had a lot to say here that was not convenient to discuss alone.

"Sir Pei, I had a conflict with your grandson some time ago, so I wrote this poem "Pei Qian". Please forgive me and don't mind my youthful recklessness." Zheng Zhengjin smiled and looked at Pei Ji and said,

Pei Ji smiled helplessly: "That kid can just use this to learn a lesson. This is also a good thing. Your Majesty is simply a poetic talent that is amazing. Today in the court, I have broadened my horizons." Pei Ji couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking, especially when he thought of the poem "Presented to Yu Zhining", which was simply amazing.

At this time, Yutou trotted over, took Zheng Zhengjin's teacup, served him tea, and then smiled at Zheng Zhengjin: "It was my negligence just now, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "Okay, go find your young lady."

Zheng Qishuang looked at the crystal clear glass cup and said greedily, "Your Highness, the maid in the mansion is so ignorant of etiquette. It would be a bad thing if we don't teach her a lesson."

Zheng Zhengjin said speechlessly: "Her name is Yutou. She is the personal maid of Zheng Liwan, the daughter of Zheng Renji, the Lord Zheng. She is not mine. It's good enough that she remembered to serve me tea."

Zheng Qishuang continued, "I wonder how much would you sell a glass cup like this for, Your Majesty?"

Zheng Zhengjin wanted to beat Zheng Qishuang to death. After all, he didn't intend to cheat him because the other party's surname was Zheng. However, he never thought that the other party would be uncomfortable as a driver if he didn't get cheated.

"Since Lord Zheng wants to buy it so much, how about one for 40,000 strings of cash, three for 100,000 strings of cash, and seven for 200,000 strings of cash?" Zheng Zhengjin said indifferently.

Zheng Qishuang's pupils began to shrink, and he started to calculate in his mind. At 40,000 strings of cash each, buying three would save 20,000 strings of cash, and buying seven would save 80,000 strings of cash.

At this moment, he had forgotten why he came to Zheng Zhengjin's palace.

"Then I will buy seven. The Rongyang Zheng family is rich and powerful, and they still have the money of 200,000 strings of cash." Zheng Qishuang said.

Pei Ji couldn't help but be surprised, thinking to himself, this is a real dog tycoon. "He Yong, go to the warehouse and get seven teacups." Zheng Zhengjin finished speaking, and then He Yong came out lazily from behind the rockery and said, "Okay, young master." After that, he ran away.

Zheng Qishuang's old face was smiling very happily.

He Yong went to the storeroom and came out with a teacup. As he walked, he thought, "Why is it that my young master is so smart even though he has the same surname as Zheng?"

At this moment, in the pavilion, Zheng Qishuang remembered the purpose of his visit to the palace, which was to let Zheng Zhengjin recognize the ancestor of their Rongyang Zheng family. In this way, they could be of the same lineage. So he said bluntly: "I wonder if the prince's ancestors are of the same lineage as my Rongyang Zheng family?"

Zheng Zhengjin smiled and said, "No,"

Zheng Qishuang also smiled indifferently. If the prince couldn't get through here, could he not go through Zheng Liwan? After all, Zheng Liwan's family and the ancestors of Rongyang Zheng were from the same lineage.

Kong Yingda said, "Your Majesty, I have some questions that I would like to ask you. Could you please answer them?"

"Ask?" Zheng Zhengjin smiled helplessly.
"As the sages said, repay evil with kindness. This is the orthodox thought of our Confucianism. But why is the prince so angry when someone in the court suggests treating prisoners well?" After Kong Yingda finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Zhengjin with a sneer in his eyes, as if he was the one being ridiculed.

"The saint you are talking about is definitely not Confucius. As for who he is, I don't know." After Zheng Zhengjin finished speaking, he elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

Pei Ji looked at Kong Yingda, whose face had turned black.

Zheng Qishuang did not expect that Zheng Zhengjin's answer would be so fierce.

Kong Yingda suppressed his anger and said, "Then, Your Majesty, please give me more advice."

"Repay evil with kindness, is that all you have to say? Your Kong family only has this saying: repay evil with kindness? Then how do you repay kindness? Huh?" Zheng Zhengjin's words confused Kong Yingda.

"If you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness? So that's how it is. No wonder the prince said that Lord Kong's ancestor was not Confucius." Zheng Qishuang laughed.

Kong Yingda glared at Zheng Qishuang and asked Zheng Zhengjin, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, is there anything else?" He was asking humbly.

"Repay evil with good. How do you repay good? Repay evil with justice. Repay good with good." Zheng Zhengjin said it directly.

Kong Yingda exclaimed dejectedly, "So that's how it is. Your Highness's words are like a revelation to me. Thank you, Your Highness, for clearing up my confusion."

"In fact, there is another funny thing. It is said that your Confucius has a strong body. When he makes a fist with his right hand, a word 'virtue' will appear on his arm. So, this is how you conquer others with virtue. Of course, this is just a joke. I am not interested in any sect. I just want to be a leisurely king." Zheng Zhengjin's seemingly joking words made Pei Ji and others fall into deep thought, thinking: "So this is how you conquer others with virtue. What a funny little knife, you are really enlightened."

Kong Yingda was already numb at this moment. He really couldn't understand why this happened.

However, he thought that the idea of ​​winning people over with virtue was a fallacy. But he did not refute it.
Then He Yong arrived, and Zheng Zhengjin displayed seven identical colored glass cups in front of Zheng Qishuang, who couldn't help but take a deep breath, "In this case, I would like to thank the prince for giving them up. Please follow me back to the mansion to get the money."

"No problem, He Yong, follow Lord Zheng to get the money, of course it would be best if it's gold and silver." Zheng Zhengjin instructed He Yong. "Okay, young master." After He Yong answered, he followed Zheng Qishuang out of the palace.

Kong Yingda seemed a little lonely, and he suddenly felt sorry for his immortal master.

After a moment, Kong Yingda also said to Zheng Zhengjin: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave. If I still have any doubts, please allow me to come to your house to seek answers?"
