Chapter 23 Five Good Youths
Emperor Chu said with a serious face: "Mr. Yao, Xuan'er come with me."
General Chen and others immediately said: "I'll leave."
Arriving at Emperor Chu's study, Emperor Chu said: "What does Yao Xiang think of Xuan'er!"
Yao Xiang smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty is a dragon and a phoenix among men." After saying this, there was no further explanation. Emperor Chu's decision to leave him behind must have something to do with his granddaughter's marriage.
Emperor Chu said sheepishly: "If Yao Xiangruo doesn't mind, I would like you and me to bring Xuan'er and your granddaughter together. Do you think so?"
Yao Xiang wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to say it: "Your Majesty, this, this..."
Many prime ministers were monopolized by the gentry class. Prime Minister Yao broke this system and was promoted step by step from a commoner to the current deputy prime minister. He was generous and upright, polite and outspoken to superiors, and tolerant and elegant to subordinates. Even Chu
At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Chu, the emperor also said: Yao Yao's temperament is not as good as mine, so he was appointed deputy prime minister.
When Yao Xiang's wife was one of his civilian scholars, on her way to Xindu to take the exam, she met a girl in the temple because of rain. They went all the way to Xindu. However, on the way, the two exchanged glances, and met Yao Xiang on the eve of the first prize.
They got married, and later they were demoted to the order of Jingzhou by the then Tianshun Emperor Zhaozong because Yao Xiang was angry and assassinated Shangguan, so the family came to Jingchu. After the Emperor of Chu became king in Jingzhou, the Emperor of Chu thought that Yao Yao was kind and tolerant, and he had a good reputation in Jingzhou.
He had a high reputation and dared to speak out about current problems. He was highly praised and reused.
Since Yao Xiang and his wife met, they have many children and grandchildren, and they are still in love with each other. Therefore, Yao Xiang hopes that his granddaughter will find someone who likes each other and can love each other until they grow old. As long as his granddaughter likes her, even if she is a beggar, Yao Xiang will support her.
.As for King Ji, although he is talented, his reputation among the people is not very good. What if he agrees rashly and his granddaughter doesn't like it? What should he do if he doesn't hurt his granddaughter's heart?
When Xiao Chenxuan heard what Emperor Chu said, he hurriedly said: "Father, my son has just turned eighteen and doesn't know many things very well. How can he get married and start a business? Can you let me study for two more years, and my father can do more for me?"
I am thinking about my marriage. Furthermore, I, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yao, do not understand each other at all, so they get married rashly. If there is no joy between them, what will happen then?"
Xiao Chenxuan rambled a lot. After hearing this, Emperor Chu was immediately dissatisfied: "Humph, since ancient times, parents' orders and matchmaker's words, how can they be happy to talk to each other?"
Hearing Xiao Chenxuan's words, Yao Xiang was also very dissatisfied. His granddaughter was the most beautiful woman in Jingchu. Others were begging their parents to drag matchmakers to come to their door. His granddaughter didn't like it, so he rejected them one by one. Why did he come to Xiao Chenxuan directly at Emperor Chu's place?
reject.
"Your Majesty, the annual youth poetry meeting will be held in a few days. If Prince Ji and An Ran get to know each other at the poetry meeting and are satisfied with each other, I would like to bring Prince Ji and An Ran together."
Yao Xiang said that the two of them would meet each other through poetry, and if they were satisfied with each other, he said in his heart that when his granddaughter despises you, let's see where you put your face, a dandy prince.
When Emperor Chu heard this, he thought that the poetry meeting was tailor-made for Xuan'er. Who else in Jingchu could win over Xuan'er? He was very satisfied with Yao Xiang's words.
"Well, what Mr. Yao said makes sense, so be it! I might as well go and have a look at that time. Mr. Yao, please arrange for Mr. Kong to go and let him choose some talents for me, haha."
Xiao Chenxuan is also very satisfied with this old man. No wonder a common scholar can reach today step by step
The location and the way things are done are so atmospheric.
After Yao Xiang left, Xiao Chenxuan walked up to Emperor Chu, looked at Emperor Chu pitifully, and said weakly: "Father, um, can you leave some of your gold for me?"
Emperor Chu glared at Xiao Chenxuan and asked, "Are you going to Wanhua Tower?"
Xiao Chenxuan was immediately frightened: "Father, how dare you? My son is a good young man, how can he go to that place full of filth?"
Emperor Chu smiled, you are a dandy, what are you talking about about five good young people, making international jokes for me? You really think I am perfunctory.
"Oh, really? Tell me, what do these five good young people have?
Xiao Chenxuan raised his head and straightened his chest, and said with an awe-inspiring and upright expression: "Of course, good writing, good thinking, good style, good work, and, and... forget it, study well, does it count?" Also, there is still half a day,
Xiao Chenxuan almost didn't recover.
After hearing this, Emperor Chu wanted to slap Xiao Chenxuan to death. You are a dandy who makes birds fight, but you have a good style and a good mind. Only the devil will believe you.
"Oh, I thought it was just playing tricks, fighting, visiting brothels, not seeking advancement, and not being filial. It seems that I wrongly blamed you. Tell me! If there is anything else, if it's okay, get out of here and watch you.
It’s annoying.”
Xiao Chenxuan's head was full of black lines. Emperor Chu was trying to draw inferences from one instance, and five good young men suddenly came and reversed the situation. He was saying that Emperor Chu had just blackmailed a total of 1,500 taels of gold at the first level. What's wrong with him staying here? Could it be that he
No, I can't stay here. Could it be that he is not his biological child? Xiao Chenxuan wanted to ask Emperor Chu if he could do a paternity test.
"Father, um, didn't I just honor you with so much money? Didn't I just want to talk to you more? If I don't know if I can honor you in the future, what a pity! Look, how can I be so unwelcome to my son?
!”
Emperor Chu was very satisfied when he heard the word "filial piety". Now he has learned the money by himself, and there is no need for him to keep it for Xiao Chenxuan.
Emperor Chu laughed and said: "Haha, Xuan'er is still interested. If you want to honor me next time, I welcome you at any time. Tell me! If you have anything else!"
Xiao Chenxuan was speechless. Emperor Chu was really good at climbing along the pole!
"Father, it's like this. Aren't you going to Xindu during the Double Ninth Festival? I want to personally train a few people to protect you in order to avoid any mishaps in Xindu. Do you want to come back and show your filial piety?"
Emperor Chu chuckled and said, "What did I think? It depends on how much you want when you come back three times a day. I will pick some good ones from Zuo Wuwei for you."
Xiao Chenxuan was confused. This was a promise: "It's not my father. I want a few more."
This time Emperor Chu was stunned for a moment: "How many? How many do you want?"
Xiao Chenxuan gestured with one finger.
Emperor Chu said: "No problem, I will give you one hundred, you are satisfied!"
Xiao Chenxuan opened his eyes wide, did he say a hundred? It seems not.
"That, no, the father, the sons and ministers should have more."
This time Emperor Chu understood. No wonder this bastard came back three times a day to demand military power.
"Haha, how about I give you ten thousand for fun?"
How dare Xiao Chenxuan, just kidding?
I have to be my own dandy prince and ask Emperor Chu for 10,000 troops. I guess I will hear Emperor Chu asking me if I want to rebel in my dreams.
"Father, I want one thousand, one thousand. If too much is not enough, eight hundred will do, hehe."
After speaking, he secretly looked at Emperor Chu and found that there was no expression on Emperor Chu's face, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Chu suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, I thought it would be such a big deal. With you being such a coward, how dare I hand over the Kingdom of Chu to you in the future?"
When Xiao Chenxuan heard that Emperor Chu had handed over the Kingdom of Chu to him, he immediately knelt down. How many more years did he want to live? Emperor Chu was so alive and vigorous, how could he dare to ask for it? Several brothers now wanted to take his own life. Who knew this palace
Whether there are any of their people here, this joke is not funny at all.
"Father, you live a long life. I just want to be a dandy prince under your glorious leadership."
When Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Chenxuan's cowardice, all thoughts of wanting Xiao Chenxuan to be the prince disappeared in an instant!
"Go away, I'm annoyed just by looking at you. If you want someone to recruit yourself, I'll ask Mr. He to give you orders later."
When he heard that it was done, Xiao Chenxuan immediately stood up and said with a playful smile: "Hey, father, I know you are the best, I'll leave you there."
Emperor Chu was really angry this time: "Go away, I will chop you down if you don't leave."
Xiao Chenxuan shrank his neck: "Father, take care, I will leave." Before Emperor Chu could say anything, he ran out.
Emperor Chu looked at Xiao Chenxuan who was escaping and felt funny: "Old dog, tell me what kind of person Xuan'er is. Tell the truth, otherwise, huh..."
After hearing Emperor Chu's words, Manager He could only say seriously: "Your Majesty, although Wang Yeping appears to be timid and afraid of getting into trouble, I believe that Your Highness is talented in the world and has the ambition to swallow up mountains and rivers."
After hearing what Chief He said, Emperor Chu nodded and said, "If I asked you to choose between King Wu and King Ji, who would you choose?"
This, can you say this? Manager He was so anxious that he was afraid that his nickname would be in danger if he said it. Since ancient times, as a eunuch beside the emperor, who would dare to get involved.
"Tell me! I want to hear your opinion. Over the years, I have treated you as family, so there is no need to shy away from it."
Mr. He was so moved that Emperor Chu treated him as a family member. This was the blessing he had cultivated over many lifetimes.
Manager He shed tears of happiness and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Chu smiled: "Tell me, if I can't unify the world in my lifetime, I hope one of them can do it for me."
Manager He felt that he was happy even if he died now, and said seriously to Emperor Chu, "Your Majesty, I believe that under your rule, it will be completed. Come and watch King Ji."
Emperor Chu asked doubtfully: "Oh, don't flatter me, just tell me why?"
Manager He thought for a while and said: "What the old slave saw in King Wu was contempt for the emperor's authority. The old slave thought that King Wu could be the enemy of ten thousand people. But what he saw in King Ji was envy of the imperial power.
Desire. It’s just that King Ji hasn’t noticed any changes in himself until now.”
