Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 29 Take me with you

The matter of Zhou Tian's establishment as a crown prince has been mentioned for a long time.

During this year, the battle for the reserve position was turbulent.

The reason for this situation is that the adopted son of Emperor Zhou was like a poison in front of Zhao Chengfeng.

He used different political affairs within the dynasty to test the children's ability to handle things, observe their methods, and observe their skills.

Winners get prizes, losers are out.

Recently, the Sixth Prince is about to take over Dali Temple, which is the reward after winning.

As a supporter of the eldest prince, he would naturally help the eldest prince continue to launch a powerful attack on the throne.

At present, their opponents, in the general view of civil and military officials, are only a small group of three princes who have become kings. The eldest prince is only one step away from the position of crown prince.

In other words, Zhao Chengfeng is basically given these two options now.

Since the eldest prince Xian Wang completely ruined the Zhou Dynasty in his previous life, he can rule out this wrong answer.

But the fact that three princes became king may not be the correct answer for the Zhou Tian Dynasty. As for who it is, he doesn't know.

Therefore, when faced with Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong's question, Zhao Chengfeng, who smelled the smell of blood, ruled out the wrong answer of the eldest prince and answered directly without any consideration:
"I choose the eldest prince!"

The reason is simple.

The prince chosen by the Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong in his previous life was the eldest prince.

Although the answer to the eldest prince Zhao Chengfeng, who knew the information about his previous life, must be the wrong answer, it was Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong who asked the question now, and the correct answer in his mind now was the eldest prince.

It was impossible for Zhao Chengfeng not to copy the answer.

As expected, Emperor Zhou Wei Renxiong looked at Zhao Chengfeng with a faint smile on his lips.

He didn't expect that Zhao Chengfeng would be so decisive and unabashed, because he had asked many people this question, and no matter how much they trusted Minister Hu or the emperor's relatives, everyone would keep it secret and coy when they heard it.

So he looked at the young man in front of him and felt that at least he liked this straightforward and decisive attitude, so he simply asked:

"reason?"

Zhao Chengfeng replied: "The eldest prince's virtuous reputation spreads far and wide."

"not enough."

Zhao Chengfeng: "Does your Majesty know that I am notorious?"

"Why?"

"No matter whether he is good or evil, as long as his reputation can be spread throughout the world, he will not be an idle person, like me, like the eldest prince."

Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong seemed to have entered a concise mode. He tapped the table with his dry knuckles: "Interesting, continue."

"But fame is a burden to people... To be honest with you, Your Majesty, as soon as I came to Kyoto, I couldn't help but want to do something good!"

Emperor Zhou: "???"

"I think the eldest prince, after being a virtuous person for so long, will occasionally want to do evil."

Emperor Zhou continued to listen.

"And considering that the eldest prince is 20 years older than me, and has never had any problems. He has always been courteous, tolerant, kind and gentle, so I admire him even more."

"Let's put it this way, if the eldest prince is truly virtuous, and none of the princes is more virtuous than him, if he doesn't become the crown prince, who will be the crown prince?"

"If the eldest prince is a fake virtuous person"

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he raised his brows and his narrow eyes became a little brighter: "How about a fake virtuous person?"

"The fake virtuous one has to choose him even more."

"It is not difficult for a truly virtuous person to be himself and be a virtuous person for a lifetime. It is really difficult for a fake virtuous person to remain a virtuous person for a lifetime. If the eldest prince is a fake virtuous person and can remain like this all his life, then he is better than a truly virtuous person. People are even more powerful, and those who are able to do things that others cannot do are naturally the dragons among people."

After hearing these words, Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong looked at the third prince of Dangbei Palace in front of him and fell into silence for a moment.

When he spoke again, his title changed and he said:
"Nephew, I originally thought that I thought highly enough of you, so I asked you this question, but after hearing your answer, I found that I still underestimated you."

Zhao Chengfeng: "Your Majesty is so complimentary."

The question was pointed and his answer dangerous.

The danger was that he wanted to use some language arts to plant the seeds of an impression for Emperor Zhou that the eldest prince might be a hypocrite while ensuring that he was not in any danger.Although I don’t know if it will bear fruit in the future.

But it’s always a little risky.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong was still praising him.

"He is also the true virtuous person, and he is also the false virtuous person. Wonderful!"

"It can't be called worthy, it can't be called worthy."

Seeing his humble appearance, Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong raised his somewhat dry palm again and tapped the table with his knuckles. After a soft sound, he changed the subject and said: "My nephew came to Beijing this time for a marriage. I have looked for several princesses for you, and finally I think Princess Ningshu is better."

Zhao Chengfeng: "..."

Of course he felt bad, after all, he was the sister-in-law in his previous life.

But if he had no choice, he would naturally have no choice but to accept it.

Because now that he has become the third son of Prince Dangbei in this life, he cannot watch his eldest brother die.

So when he came to Kyoto, the first thing he wanted to try to change was to see if he could stop marrying his sister-in-law. Now listen to what Emperor Zhou wants...
At this time, Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong looked at his expression and smiled: "Originally, my nephew, I couldn't decide this matter, but today I think you can make the best choice."

As he spoke, he took out a book from a pile of books, opened it, pulled out a piece of paper and said: "When we decided on the marriage, we didn't specify who it was, so..."

He threw the piece of paper in front of Zhao Chengfeng's eyes.

Zhao Chengfeng took a quick look and saw that this piece of paper included almost all the princesses of his age. In addition to the basic information about their names and titles, there were also comments on their appearance and personality.
For a moment, he had the feeling that everything was achieved through hard work.

It's that simple?
But thinking about it, it seems that it should be that simple.

For the Zhou Tian Dynasty, in the eyes of the outside world, as long as the third son is married to the royal family, it does not matter who he is. What is important is that the third son will stay in Kyoto in the future, seemingly as a son-in-law, but in fact as a pledge.

Of course, after discovering the friendship between his father and His Majesty today, Zhao Chengfeng even felt that he was a bit too underestimated of the relationship between the two of them, and just focused on one kiss and then another.

Not talking about the crown prince, Zhou Emperor Wei Renxiong was an amiable elder. He said at this time: "The marriage of my nephew is not urgent. When you live in Kyoto, these princesses from the royal family will always meet each other." , whoever you like then can tell me."

"Your Majesty has great love."

Emperor Zhou Wei Renxiong waved his hand: "By the way, I just learned today that the mansion arranged for you by the Ministry of Rites is in Dongfang. Although the location is indeed good, it is a little less noble. You might as well listen to me and live in Yuanfang opposite the palace. How about it? It’s also convenient for you to come into the palace and chat with me.”

What Zhao Chengfeng could say, he could only obey the arrangement and nod naturally.

"And one more thing."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Nephew, no matter who you marry, you must take part in this year's imperial examination and become an official in the imperial court."

Zhao Chengfeng: "???"

Emperor Zhou Wei Renxiong raised his head and said solemnly: "There is no room for negotiation. I already know that you are not the uneducated and incompetent dandy as rumored. Zhou Tian should accept talents from Kyushu. You can't just be an idle prince-in-law in Kyoto."

What he said was categorical and his attitude was very tough.

In other words, the people who gave you two sweet dates, asked you to choose a wife, and gave you a nice house are all waiting here.
When Zhao Chengfeng heard this, he looked at Emperor Zhou with a sense of sadness.

I said in my heart, why do I want to be an idle consort?
Don't I have time to observe your eldest son, King Xian, and find an opportunity to kill him?
Do you really think I don’t want to do anything in Kyoto?
And in fact, I do not object to becoming an official in the court, but it is too troublesome to be an official in Zhoutian, and I am afraid of trouble.

However, Emperor Zhou condescended to give two sweet dates to achieve this
As a junior, Zhao Chengfeng couldn't say no. He believed that his father left Big Yellow Dog because he believed in His Majesty's arrangement, so he agreed.

Emperor Zhou Wei Renxiong was very happy when he heard this: "Then it's settled. We'll talk about the rest later. I have one more thing."

Zhao Chengfeng: "..."

He really wanted to say, Your Majesty, why are you so busy?
But seeing the Zhoutian Sage stood up at this time, and came to his side, he asked in his ear: "Nephew, did you know that the news of your entry into Kyoto has spread, and the gambling houses in Twelve Squares are open, and most people are betting on you." I must go on the flower boat on the Huaihe River one day!"

"Your Majesty, you don't want to take control. Please tell me not to go."

"it's not true."

"That's right, that's right. How could His Majesty miss such a small amount of money? What does Your Majesty mean by mentioning this matter?"

Emperor Zhou Wei Renxiong looked at Zhao Chengfeng very seriously: "Take me with you!"
