Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 637: Since ancient times, it has been the hardest to repay a favor (in Xiao He’s chapter, give me a follow-up order and let me see how many people there are!)
Adoration and respect were written on Mrs. Xiao's face, and she was even more calm when talking about the past years.Everything you go through will only make you stronger.

The two sons could not help but lower their heads as they listened and watched.

Their mother understood their father far better than either of them did.

"There are famous officials in Jiangdong, but few people know about the efforts behind them. I actually know very well that the two of you want your father to go to Xianyang City, not because you expect him to be promoted as soon as possible and get a lot of treasure. It’s you who think that with your father’s ability, he should have reached that status a long time ago.”

"In fact, you often listen to your father talk about world affairs. Over time, you are willing to believe that your father's ideas are more in line with the expectations of the people today."

Xiao Lu bowed.

"What mother said is absolutely true. We two brothers just hope that our father can realize his lifelong ambition and set an example for the common people in the world. The princes, generals, ministers, and common people can do the same."

Mrs. Xiao was greatly appreciated when she heard this.

"This is exactly what my father wishes. But have you ever thought that the way you help your father is wrong?"

"My mother is busy washing clothes and preparing meals in the backyard on weekdays. Today she suddenly came to us. What did she want to say? Given her status as a prince, a letter was presented to His Majesty. Even if His Majesty the Emperor would not promote my father immediately, I will definitely understand my father’s reputation in the Jingchu area.”

"So, you two are short-sighted and only see the immediate benefits and cannot see the dangers in the future."

"Why don't mother speak clearly."

Some of these words are meaningless if they are broken down.But looking at these two children, they will not give up until they reach the Yellow River. Like their father, they are very persistent in what they believe in.If you don't explain it clearly to them, they will never let go of this idea, and they may do other outrageous things in the future.

Considering that the matter would become very serious in the future, Mrs. Xiao could only open the skylight and speak frankly.

"You call me a prince, but do you really know his identity?"

Xiao Yan only felt that his mother was talking too much today and didn't want to hear it at all. Hearing such a question, he naturally smiled and said:

"Of course he is the biological brother of the current queen and the biological uncle of the current prince. I heard that the prince is coming to Jingchu, and the current prince even said that he would personally see him off."

Xiao's mother just let her youngest son play, and still asked calmly:
"Then who is he to His Majesty the current Emperor?"

"Of course it's my brother-in-law."

"Then from the perspective of etiquette, His Majesty must respect his wife and brother very much, so he has thousands of troops to protect him."

"That's natural. These truths are things that even a three-year-old child outside the door knows. And since mother also knows that the prince is a person who is respected and respected by His Majesty today, then why does mother still come to us to reason? If our Xiao family can cling to For a wealthy family like the Wang family, my father will surely be able to fulfill his dream soon."

Xiao's mother laughed out loud after hearing this.

But after laughing, Mrs. Xiao asked extremely seriously:

"Now that you know how important the prince is, you should not provoke him. Your father was promoted to this position based on his solid political achievements. What would outsiders think if he entered the court on the prince's recommendation?"

Xiao Lu understood what his mother meant.

"What my mother thinks is actually nothing. My father is a powerful person. Even if he is recommended, some people may criticize him at first, but as time goes by, my father will prove to everyone that his strength is absolutely outstanding. .”

"This is where you are short-sighted. You only see the benefits that the prince can bring to your father right now, but you don't see how much hidden danger the prince will plant for your father."

When the younger son heard this, he lost his patience.

He really didn't understand why his father reprimanded and punished them, but his mother also spoke for his father at this time.It's all a bunch of useless talk.

The younger son lowered himself under the table, secretly stretched out his feet, and asked lazily:

"What does mother mean?"

"Let me ask you, why does your uncle come to visit your father every now and then?"

"Because after my father became the county magistrate, he recommended my uncle to be the county magistrate. After that, my uncle was grateful to my father, so he came to express his gratitude from time to time."

"That's the same reason, why can't you understand it? If your father accepts the prince's kindness, once His Majesty really calls him to Xianyang City, then your father will owe the prince a huge favor."

"Since ancient times, the hardest thing to repay is a favor. If you accept someone's benefits, it will be difficult for you to refuse when that person asks you to do something. And at this time, what you have to pay far exceeds the debt of favor you owe. "

"When it comes to recommendation, it's not all about human nature. Getting along with others is a kind of mutual benefit. Your father accepted his recommendation and went to the court, which means he has gained the name of the Wang family. So far, your father is outside In people’s eyes, it is no longer Xiao He, but Wang He.”

After hearing this, the two sons suddenly understood.Xiao Lu's eyes were dim. He thought he was on an elevated highway, but suddenly he seemed to have fallen into a dark well.Politics has always been black.Once you get in touch, you'll feel like this.

After Xiao Yan heard this, he didn't feel scared at first. He just asked based on his own life experience:
"Then if my father is really successful in being recommended, wouldn't my father not only have to serve His Majesty the Emperor in the future, but also listen to the prince. The queen's status is higher, so my father will also listen to the queen's words when the time comes."

Just these few sentences have already hit the point.

Xiao Lu understood the stakes here and said:
"I heard that Xianyang City in the State of Qin has three princes and nine ministers. The prince used to be one of the three princes. If the prince can really return to Xianyang City, then his worst status will be as a minister. The prince has won the trust of your majesty. When the time comes, If father goes, he will definitely be regarded as a prince by everyone."

"With the status and identity of the prince, no matter where my father is at that time. Not only will my father go to pay homage to others from time to time, but he will also advance and retreat together with the prince in the court."

Mother Xiao saw that the two finally understood, and she was also relieved.

"That's the truth. I heard that there used to be a very powerful man in the Qin State named Li Si. He was once a native of Xia Cai in the Chu State and worked for the First Emperor. But in the end, he was ruined because of spreading rumors. Your father often Tell me about this matter. Think about it carefully, if we really accept the prince's kindness, we will stand behind the current crown prince in the future."

"The Emperor's family is not comparable to ordinary families like us. Your father often told me that the family affairs of the Emperor's family are the first-class affairs in the world. Every family history of the Emperor's family is related to the country. Book."

The prince is too powerful, can the emperor sleep well?
