There were only three sons summoned by Ying Jiuxiao, Prince Yingqi, King Yong Yingzhen and King Liang Yingyuqian. Although there is still the Yue King Ying Daigan, Ying Daigan is only twenty years old now, and his son is only one or two years old, so it is impossible for him to go to school.
Ying Qi, Ying Zhen and Ying Yuqian, the youngest Ying Yuqian, are all thirty-eight years old.
All three of them have sons of the right age.
Ying Qi is nearly forty years old, tall and thin, with sunken eyes and slightly squinted eyes, giving people a rather gloomy look.
Ying Zhen is two years younger than Ying Qi, slightly fatter, with a smile on his face and a kind look.
Only Ying Yuqian, with his back arched and a respectful expression, looked cautious. After all, Ying Yuqian himself had no background. His mother-in-law was an ordinary palace maid, and there was no help from her mother's family.
Therefore, in the court, Ying Yuqian does not involve government affairs and is transparent.
Yingqi and Yingzhen are different.
Yingqi was the queen's legitimate son, the emperor's eldest son, and the crown prince, so he naturally had enough advantages. Ying Zhen is the son of a noble concubine, and even Ying Zhen's mother's family is a prominent official in the court. In addition, Ying Jiuxiao also likes Ying Zhen very much, so the two brothers Ying Zhen and Ying Qi are almost neck and neck, with almost the same strength.
Ying Jiuxiao glanced at his three sons and said calmly: "Do you know about Lin Feng's entry into Xianyang?"
"Know!"
Ying Zhen answered immediately.
Ying Qi and Ying Daiqian did not express their opinions.
Ying Jiuxiao turned his eyes, landed on Ying Qi, and asked, "Does the prince know?"
Ying Qi bowed and said: "Returning to the father, I don't know. Who is this Lin Feng?"
When Ying Jiuxiao heard Ying Qi's words, he frowned and scolded: "You are the prince after all. You have to understand everything in the world. Don't just stay in your prince's house all day long, doing nothing. He looks like he is obsessed with pleasure. When you are a prince, you must look like a prince."
After Ying Qi heard this, his heart trembled, and a trace of sinisterness flashed across his eyes, and he quickly said: "My son, please remember your father's teachings."
Ying Jiuxiao snorted. He didn't even look at Ying Yuqian. Ying Yuqian was just a foil and had a weak temper.
Not a suitable candidate.
Ying Zhen was happy in his heart. He was happy to see Ying Qi succeed, so he took the initiative and said: "About Lin Feng, he is in his twenties. He is Han Qianqiu's junior brother, a disciple of Xunzi, and a native of Xia. .”
"In particular, Lin Feng is the son of Lin Yuanzhong, the general of the Xia Kingdom's Hussars. Because the Lin family was slandered for rebellion, Lin Feng fled to Daqin. He had been in Yongning County before, but now he has entered Xianyang, which made Yan Changge vomit blood."
"Yan Changge was unwilling to fail in the poem and couplet competition, so he made a martial arts competition with Lin Feng, regardless of life or death. Then, Yan Changge was directly killed by Mr. Lin. Lin Feng is really powerful."
Having said this, Yingzhen said in a deep voice: "Father, I have some opinions about Lin Feng."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Tell me and listen."
Ying Zhen said sternly: "Lin Feng is from the Lin family of the Xia Kingdom. He is very talented and can arrange for someone to recruit him. This person must stay in our Great Qin. If Lin Feng is not willing to serve for the Great Qin, he would rather kill him than let him Recruitment from other countries.”
"Especially Qi State, we need to be more vigilant. Xunzi is in Qi State, and he is Lin Feng's teacher after all, so Lin Feng may go to Qi State. Once Lin Feng goes to Qi State, it will be detrimental to our great Qin."
Ying Zhen said: "My son suggested that my father conquer Lin Feng. If he doesn't agree, kill him on the spot and eradicate his roots."
Ying Jiuxiao frowned.
Ying Zhen is so murderous.
Is this a way to recruit talent?
Respecting virtuous corporals is not the way to treat virtuous corporals. People are not willing to serve in official positions unless you recruit them.
Anyway, it's still about your own will.
Ying Jiuxiao was unhappy, but didn't show anything. After all, Ying Zhen is his favorite son. Ying Jiuxiao glanced at Ying Qi, Ying Zhen and Ying Yuqian, and said: "You three have a teenage son at your knees."
"Now that Mr. Lin is living in Changxingfang in Beicheng, you can each choose a son to study with Mr. Lin. Watch his words, listen to his actions, and study hard. I have obtained Mr. Lin's consent for this matter."
Ying Qi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Father, my eldest son is already in his early twenties. As for his teenage son, the East Palace has its own tutors. Lin Feng is about 20 years old, and his talent is outstanding. But Teaching people requires sufficient experience and patience, not just talent."
"Asshole!"
Ying Jiuxiao looked cold and scolded: "Are you questioning my decision?"
"No, I'm just a little worried. After all, they are all the emperor's grandsons, and they are my hope for the future of Great Qin."
Ying Qi San San replied.
In his heart, he had some complaints against Ying Jiuxiao because Ying Jiuxiao always favored Ying Zhen.
This is Ying Qi’s emotion.
Ying Zhen looked at this scene, but he was happy to see the result. From the bottom of his heart, he agreed with Ying Qi's words. It's true that Lin Feng is talented, but he is just a talent.
It's really a joke for someone in their twenties to teach the prince and his grandson.
However, Yingzhen did not dare to refute.
Ying Yuqian had been silent until now. He suddenly said: "My father just called Lin Feng sir and said that I had obtained his consent. Could it be that my father knows Mr. Lin and that he invited Mr. Lin to Xianyang?"
"yes!"
Ying Jiuxiao answered directly.
Ying Jiuxiao said directly: "I concealed my identity and changed my name to Zhenbei Hou Yingjiu. As a royal family member, I met Mr. Lin with Wang Tang. This time I also invited him to go to Xianyang to deal with Yan Changge."
"Mr. Lin has the ability to govern the country and has outstanding talents. Your respective sons must study carefully. This is an opportunity. In addition, your identity is not allowed to be revealed. Anyone who reveals his identity will be directly demoted to a commoner."
"This matter is settled like this."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "I hope your son can seize the opportunity and achieve success in his studies."
Ying Qi, Ying Zhen and Ying Yuqian all looked slightly changed.
Somewhat shocked.
Ying Jiuxiao's attitude is extremely rare, even rare.
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Okay, this is roughly what happened. Mr. Lin has the talent to govern the country. He will make good arrangements for himself when he returns."
"Back off."
Ying Jiuxiao waved his hand.
Ying Qi, Ying Zhen and Ying Yuqian bowed and left. After the three of them walked out of the hall together, Ying Qi stopped, looked at Ying Zhen, and snorted: "King Yong, my father is the king of a country after all. Jun, you actually went to see a young man in his twenties, and you concealed your identity from such a person. Father, you must be confused."
Ying Zhen smiled softly and said, "Aren't you afraid that your father will know what the prince said?"
Ying Qi said: "What can I do if I know?"
Ying Zhen suddenly laughed and said: "This is the first time I agree with the prince's words. Although Lin Feng of Xia State is talented, he can only stop there."
"Father, you value the so-called scholars of the Xia Kingdom too much. Even if they are from the Kingdom of Heaven, so what?"
"We, the Qin Dynasty, now have strong troops and horses. Why do we need to grovel to a person from the Xia Kingdom and let your heirs and I go together to listen to his teachings."
Ying Zhen flicked his sleeves and said, "Is he, a fugitive from the Xia Kingdom, worthy of being my son's teacher?"
Ying Qi said: "No matter what you say, we still have to respect my father's order and just go as a formality. Let's go!"
He strode away.
Ying Zhen also walked away like this.
After Ying Qi and Ying Zhen left, Ying Yuqian left. He has always been a little transparent in the court, so in front of Ying Qi and Ying Zhen, he honestly did not compete for anything and was extremely respectful.
Ying Yugan left the palace and went straight back to Prince Liang's Mansion. Because Ying Yuqian had no real power in his hands and had nothing to handle, he returned to the house and went straight to the backyard.
A melodious sound of the piano came from the pavilion.
The sound of the piano is quite cheerful.
But in this joy, there is a hint of depression, as if there is some depression.
Ying Yuqian was originally quite irritable, but after hearing this voice, he calmed down again.
He continued following the sound and came to the pavilion in the backyard, where a thirty-seven-year-old middle-aged woman was immersed in playing the piano. Although this woman is already in her thirties, her skin is extremely well maintained, and her skin is as good as snow.
Her whole body exuded a mature and charming aura.
But between the woman's brows, there was a hint of melancholy that had never gone away.
This woman was from the Wang family in Liangzhou and was Ying Yuqian's wife, Princess Liang.
She was married to Ying Yuqian, and for more than 20 years, the couple was extremely loving. Even now, there is no other woman in Ying Yuqian, only Wang.
Ying Yuqian walked to sit down next to his wife and said with a smile, "Madam, I have good news."
"What good news?"
Wang stopped playing the piano and asked.
Ying Yuqian looked gentle and said, "Madam, you should know Lin Feng, right?"
Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "I have indeed heard about it. I heard from people on the street that Lin Feng is Han Qianqiu's junior brother and a disciple of Xunzi. He was born in the Lin family of Xia State. He was only slandered for treason and had his house confiscated and exiled. Living in exile in Da Qin."
"Previously, I heard the maids in the house talk about Lin Feng coming to Xianyang and defeating Yan Changge of Xia Kingdom. He even competed with Yan Changge and killed Yan Changge. He is a man of both civil and military talents."
Ying Yugan smiled and said: "It is true, and now our son can contact Lin Feng and study with Lin Feng. Do you think this is good news?"
Wang frowned after hearing this, with a touch of worry on her face.
Ying Yuqian and Wang's wife were of the same mind. When he saw Wang's expression, he held Wang's soft hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this is not my intention to interfere with government affairs, nor is it my intention to win over Lin Feng."
"This is my father's arrangement."
"Father, he secretly changed his name to Yingjiu and visited Lin Feng. He had a very pleasant conversation with Lin Feng and even called him Mr. Lin. Even this time, Yan Changge was arrogant and domineering, so it was Father who invited Lin Feng to come to Xianyang to deal with Yan Changge."
"My father asked the prince, King Yong and I to each send a teenage son to study with Lin Feng. In fact, our son is just a foil. But no matter what, being able to study with Lin Feng is a great achievement. Total opportunity.”
"You must know that Lin Feng is from a family of generals, a descendant of the Lin family of Xia State, and a disciple of Xunzi. If our son can learn a little from such a person, it will be useful to him for life."
Ying Yuqian said: "Although our Liang Prince's family does not interfere with government affairs, it is good to learn more."
"call!!"
Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She sighed and said, "My husband said this, and I feel at ease. I remember back then, when my husband was first crowned king, he was full of energy and showed off his talents. He was praised by many scholars and courtiers, and even Your Majesty also valued me and entrusted me with important responsibilities."
"However, because of this reputation, we were targeted a lot. Especially you and me, we were robbed and killed when we went out to play. At that time, my daughter, who was just one month old at the time, couldn't escape with me, so I had to put the child away. Grass on the roadside.”
"We were later rescued, but when we turned around to look for the child, we never saw the child again. After so many years of searching, we couldn't find him. It's been eighteen years now."
Wang's voice suddenly choked up.
Glittering tears swirled in his eyes.
Her voice became even lower and she said slowly: "If Yao'er is still alive, she should be eighteen years old, how wonderful it would be. At that time, there was only a jade pendant left by her side, and the rest are the marks on her body."
"Unfortunately, looking for such a jade pendant is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the child can't even find it."
"I don't know if she is alive or well."
"Back then, my husband was involved in power and offended some people, so he got involved in the whirlpool of fights. Later, my husband was cautious in everything and even deliberately avoided government affairs. Only then can you and I, husband and wife, live a stable life."
Wang said: "We in Prince Liang's Mansion don't have much strength. I don't want our son to encounter Yue Yao'er's situation again just after he grows up."
Ying Yuqian sighed after hearing this.
In his early years, he had a daughter, Ying Yueyao, but unfortunately she was assassinated when she was just one month old, and her flesh and blood were separated.
Ying Yuqian took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, I know what to do and what not to do. I will not get involved in the fight between the Crown Prince and King Yong. As for Yao'er's affairs, she is a lucky person. Look, it will definitely be fine."
Wang nodded and said, "I believe in my husband, and I also believe that Buddha will protect Yao'er."
Ying Yuqian spoke to Mrs. Wang, and after appeasing Mrs. Wang, he got up and left, because he had to give instructions to his son Wang Xi to let Wang Xi know how to get along with Lin Feng.
