The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

In the middle of March, it was already late spring, and the Grain Rain had passed, and the beginning of summer was about to begin. The morning light was very early. At this time, the outside was already bright, but the candles were still burning in the study, making the room a little stuffy.

Zhao Zhili is a bad-tempered person, but in front of the emperor, although he still maintains his arrogance, he has always been polite, so he said, "It's not a big deal to go back to the emperor. And he is very good at doing things, so I will exchange it with Junqing Xiandi, and exchange him with two slaves."

The emperor laughed because of his words, and said, "I'm sure Junqing is not willing to change."

Ji Heng said, "My mother gave me the piano, and I dare not exchange it with others at will, otherwise I will be scolded when I go home."

Zhao Zhili stared deeply at Ji Heng, and said to the emperor, "I'm just talking about teasing Junqing, not really trying to win people's love."

How could the emperor not understand that Zhao Zhili was deliberately embarrassing Ji Heng, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "In this case, let's not talk about this issue."

Let Baoqin get up again, Baoqin quickly thanked En to get up, and left the study silently and quickly.

Liu Sheng'er was rubbing ink for the emperor beside his writing case, while the emperor stood beside Brother Heng's writing case and said to Zhao Zhili, "Cousin, when is your wedding date? Has it been set yet? When you get married , I can also meet this cousin, after all, I have no brothers and sisters around me, and I am quite lonely."

Zhao Zhili put away the unhappiness in his heart, and replied politely, "It's scheduled for October this year."

Ji Heng didn't expect it to be so fast. He had a lot of thoughts in his heart. From his previous understanding, he knew that if something happened to the little emperor, the most promising successor would be King Wu's heir. Brother, blood is the most suitable. Of course, King Wu is in the affluent Wulin, Hangzhou by the West Lake. He has money and food, and has always been generous. Many officials in the court have been bribed by him and will speak for King Wu.

At that time, the late emperor was not indifferent to his younger brother, the king of Wu, but the king of Wu did not necessarily have much sincerity towards his own brother. After the death of the first emperor, he was a little ready to move. The reason may be that he felt that the current The little emperor was born of a low-status court lady, and felt that although he was the heir of the former emperor, his blood was not noble enough after all, which made him want to covet the position of the ninety-five lord.

Zhao Zhili is going to marry the princess so soon, it is indeed confusing.

Ji Heng sighed on behalf of the emperor, "Why so soon? When my eldest sister got married, the marriage was settled for two years before she got married, but my mother said it was too soon."

Zhao Zhili said unhappily, "The princess is already 17 years old, so naturally she wants to marry in a hurry. If she doesn't marry again, I'm afraid she won't be able to see anyone."

Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Zhili, thinking that Zhao Zhili disliked the princess for being older than himself?

According to Ji Heng's knowledge, Concubine Wu Wangzheng passed away before, and this second daughter, because of three years of mourning, has never had a marriage proposal. Maybe there was a secret marriage proposal, and she had hooked up with the Zhao family long ago, but only now. come out.

Ji Heng said, "The princess is one year older than you, son. There is a saying that a female freshman should hold a golden rooster. It can be seen that it is very good."

Zhao Zhili said directly grumpily, "Then you go and marry her, she is six years older than you, a six-year-old girl, and holds golden beans."

After finishing speaking, he found that Ji Heng had nothing to say, but the emperor was staring at him with deep eyes, so he couldn't help but quickly said, "I speak nonsense, talking nonsense."

After speaking, he returned to his seat angrily.

The emperor's expression didn't change much, he didn't blame Zhao Zhili, and walked back to his seat.

On the first day, Ji Heng had a bad fight with Zhao Zhili. On the way back in the afternoon, Ji Heng was with Zhao Zhili and said to him, "Your Majesty, I apologize to you for what happened this morning, Your Highness. A lot, but forgive the villain for one."

Zhao Zhili glanced at him and snorted softly, "What can I apologize for?"

Ji Heng said, "Although I also feel that I didn't say anything wrong, but I still made you unhappy, my son. Then it's because I have no vision. I really should apologize to you."

Zhao Zhili choked on him, but his attitude was much better now, and he said, "Forget it, I'm just venting my anger."

Ji Heng's dark peach eyes looked at Zhao Zhili softly, and said, "Your Majesty, why should you be unhappy because of this matter? If you don't get along well with the princess, there will always be other ways to be happy. Besides, there is no need to be happy." I haven't heard anything bad about the princess, so I think it won't be difficult to get along with."

Seeing Ji Heng's black eyes, Zhao Zhili felt even more confused, but he would never get angry at Ji Heng again, and said calmly, "I just don't want to get married so early. It has nothing to do with her being happy or not."

It's obviously an angry statement.

Ji Heng blinked and said with a smile, "Is that so?"

Zhao Zhili avoided his pair of eyes like Jiangnan Misty Rain described in the poem, looked at Ji Heng, and really could only think of Jiangnan Misty Rain, peach blossoms and pear blossoms blooming in the rain, making people feel happy, he couldn't help saying, "Ten I will go to Hangzhou to welcome my relatives in August. If there is any benefit to this marriage, it is that I can go to Jiangnan next time. I have not been to Jiangnan. This time, I can see your What is hometown like?"

Ji Heng said, "It's good for you to go in August. In August, Jiangnan has already cooled down. If you go in June and July, you will only feel hot."

Zhao Zhili felt that Ji Heng's words were not aesthetically pleasing, did he intentionally make himself feel uncomfortable?He pursed his lips unhappily, and said, "I'm getting married, and I won't come to read with you in the future, only you are left by the emperor's side."

This was expected by Ji Heng, but after hearing what Zhao Zhili said, he didn't understand what he meant, so he said, "The emperor will probably choose two more companions from other families, and I will be the only one." I will be very terrified if I am by the emperor's side."

Zhao Zhili glanced at him lightly, "I don't think so."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the sky far away. There were dark clouds gathering far away in the sky, and it might rain at night.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Ji Heng came back from the palace that day. He had just changed his clothes, washed his face and drank some tea, when the young servant Fuqin in the front yard came to call him, "Master, please come here." Go to the study in the front yard."

After Ji Heng complied, he went out with Fuqin.

On the way, Ji Heng asked, "Father came back too early today, when did he come back?"

Fuqin said, "The master came back at noon, and has been in the study all afternoon. Mr. Zhang is also there."

Mr. Zhang and Zhang Heting are highly valued by Mr. Ji. The eldest sister of the Ji family married and conceived another child this year. Mr. Ji and Mr. Zhang became in-laws on top of their former classmates, so they are very close.

Ji Heng often gets in touch with Mr. Zhang, and he knows very well that Mr. Zhang is a very talented and ambitious person. He is only in his 40s. He has already won the Juren examination, but he has never taken the Jinshi exam again, and he is willing to serve as Mr. Ji's staff. It's amazing.

There is a saying called "fifty young Jinshi", that is, it is not too late to be a Jinshi at 50 years old. But he voluntarily gave up these better ways and devoted himself to assisting Mr. Ji.

Ji Heng also respects his affection for Mr. Ji, so he respects Mr. Zhang very much.

Ji Heng knew that something must have happened again, so he gathered his energy and waited for a while outside Master Ji's study "Zhixinzhai". It is Mr. Tian Shu Yutian, who is in his forties, and the other is Mr. Xu Anjian, who is surnamed Xu, both of whom are students.The two once watched Ji Heng and Xu Qilang study when Ji Heng's wife asked for leave, and Ji Heng was very familiar with them.

Ji Heng stepped forward and saluted the two gentlemen, "You two gentlemen have worked hard."

Tian Shuyu is a clear and kind middle-aged man, he smiled at Ji Heng, "The young master is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, and he has grown taller."

Xu Anjian was much more serious than Mr. Xu, and nodded to Ji Heng, "The Eldest Master still needs to talk to Mr. Zhang, and the Eldest Young Master may have to wait."

Zhang Ziqian is indeed very talented. Even though the literati are the easiest to look down on, Mr. Ji's gang of clean-ups respect him very much. Ji Heng saw it, and responded to Xu Anjian's words, saying, "I'm still waiting for you." Just a while. Go slowly, gentlemen."

He was waiting in the lobby, but because he felt bored, he walked out of the room and down the steps, and waited under the pomegranate tree at the entrance of the courtyard. The pomegranate tree grew very well.

"The durian flowers shine brightly in May", at this time, the durian flowers have just budded, and the red flowers are dotted on the trees, which is very beautiful.

After a while, Zhang Xu, the second son of Mr. Zhang, came. Mr. Zhang only had his first wife and no concubines. Mrs. Zhang was very competitive and gave birth to four sons without a daughter. The reason for the preferential treatment is that his family has no daughter, and the eldest sister is both a daughter-in-law and a daughter.

Zhang Xu didn't see Ji Heng in lotus-colored clothes at first, but Ji Heng called him back, "Brother-in-law."

Only then did Zhang Xu turn his head to the side, saw Ji Heng standing under the pomegranate tree, who was more dazzling than the pomegranate flowers, and said with a smile, "Brother Heng, why are you standing here?"

Ji Heng said, "Father and Mr. Zhang are talking, I'm waiting to see my father. Brother-in-law, are you here?"

After Zhang Xu got married, he became much calmer than before. Besides, he is already 20 years old, and he has reached the age of crowning.

Zhang Xu said, "I'm here to visit my father-in-law and listen to his teachings."

Ji Heng was taken aback, "Are you going back to take the township exam?"

According to Dayong’s regulations, the county test is taken in the county of origin, and the college test, that is, the scholar’s ​​test, is also taken in the place of origin, and the township test is taken in the provincial capital of origin. Because of different regions and different teaching levels, some places are difficult to take. Some places are easy to take the exam, so the imperial court has a rule that no matter where the scholars study, they must return to their original place to take the exam.

Zhang's family is originally from Changzhou, so he will go back to Shanyin to take the exam.

Zhang Xu replied, "Yes. I will take the exam on the ninth day of August, and I will leave at the beginning of June. Before I leave, I will have a banquet at home. Brother Heng, you must bring Qilang with you."

Ji Heng said, "I will definitely go."

Fuqin quickly came over and called Ji Heng, "Eldest Young Master, Master invites you in."

Seeing Zhang Xu again, "Master Uncle, you are here too."

Zhang Xu said what he came for, played the piano and said, "I'm afraid the master doesn't have time today, I think they are busy."

He has already played the piano, and he is very experienced in doing things. Mr. Ji also likes him very much, and let him work in the study. You can always listen to what he says.

Zhang Xu said, "Then I'll go back today and come back later."

Ji Heng said goodbye to him before going to the study.

Mr. Ji sat behind the desk with a heavy expression, and Mr. Zhang sat behind another desk to write. When Ji Heng entered, he raised his head and nodded to him without saying anything.

Master Ji said, "Brother Heng, please sit down."

Ji Heng sat on the chair and said, "Father is looking for his son, what's the matter?"

Lord Ji said, "You are by the emperor's side in the palace, what's going on recently?"

Ji Heng thought for a while and said, "Recently, it's no different from usual."

Master Ji sighed, and said bluntly, "King Wu is about to move around in Hangzhou. Hangzhou is close to Songjiang Mansion. It is said that there are several times more naval forces around Songjiang Mansion than before. It is probably King Wu's private move. It is under the control of King Wu. The Zhao family is going to marry the second daughter of King Wu recently, so the emperor's safety in the palace is really worrying."

After hearing this, Ji Heng's complexion also changed.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

King Wu, for the throne, really wants to take it into his pocket.
