Cheng Keyi came to say goodbye. His wife and daughter had lived in Princess Changding's Mansion for such a long time, so it was reasonable and reasonable to bring them to say goodbye to Zheng Ji.
But he came on his own.
It can only mean that he has something to talk about alone.
Zheng Ji didn't want to bother guessing what he wanted to say. Now that he was here, she would know.
"Your Highness, you asked me to do something earlier, to visit Xue's house. Does that count?" Cheng Keyi asked.
Zheng Ji didn't answer and asked: "Do you think it counts?"
Cheng Keyi shook his head and said, "I don't think...it doesn't count."
The Xue family is his mortal enemy. Even if His Highness hadn't told him, he would have tried his best to deal with the Xue family.
Now it's just adding some trouble to the Xue family. What does this mean?
This was him venting his anger, not doing anything for His Highness.
"So?" Zheng Ji asked calmly without any change in his expression.
Cheng Keyi lowered his eyes to show respect: "So, what does His Highness want me to do?"
Before returning to Jingzhao, Cheng Keyi guessed that the reason why His Highness Changding took in his wife and children was to guide the Cheng family in Dexiang.
The elders of the three dynasties and the family of accumulated officials are very powerful, and they are still very useful to a His Highness.
But before he returned to Jingzhao, something happened to his grandfather. The Cheng family in Guide Lane was purged, and now there is nothing left. ap.
Such a Cheng family will only be a burden to His Highness.
He didn't think His Highness Changding would want such a Cheng family. After entering Princess Changding's mansion, he confirmed this.
However, when he first met His Highness Chang Ding, he told him that he wanted him to do something.
Not long after, His Highness Chang Ding asked him to go to the Cheng family and the Xue family to take the opportunity to inquire about those scholars.
Although he has been away from Jingzhao for many years, after all, he also came out of the Imperial College.
In the minds of many scholars, he is a person who is looked up to and followed.
When His Highness asked him to do this, he also told him what had happened when Cheng Kezhen set up a trap.
"Your grandfather had a bad heart and died an untimely death. God will always open his eyes. However, your wife and children are indeed too innocent."
Her Highness's voice at that time was extremely cold, as if the death of a veteran of three dynasties was nothing in her eyes.
What he judged was correct. In Zheng Ji's opinion, Cheng Yong's death did not make any waves in her heart.
She has no idea that the dead are the greatest. The evil a person has done will not be wiped out because of his sudden death.
As long as she thought of the tragic end of Cheng Keyi's wife and children in her previous life, she believed that Cheng Yong's death was more than justified.
Retaliation for retaliation, death at the hands of his own grandson, this is Cheng Yong's blessing.
As for Cheng Keyi...
Seeing that he didn't go crazy once a month, Zheng Ji was a little more patient with him: "Tell me, what can you do?"
Although Cheng Keyi was the young champion, under the pressure of the Cheng family, what he had accumulated in the officialdom in the secluded Jingyun County for so many years, far away from the Jingzhao court, was too limited.
This not only refers to its resources, but also its knowledge and vision. ——These all have to be immersed in it, and it can only be achieved after many years of hard work.
In addition, there is no longer the Cheng family in Guide Lane, and they have to observe mourning for Cheng Yong for three years...
What can Cheng Keyi do now?
Cheng Keyi met Zheng Ji's eyes, smiled suddenly, and said, "I was just about to ask Your Highness, what can I do?"
His words at this moment were a bit rude, at least not the way he should treat a person who was saved by the grace of his life.
But the strange thing is that Cheng Keyi knows that His Highness can understand.
This was his nature, unruly, arrogant and wanton, and he felt that His Highness would not care about this.
Although I don't know why, His Highness has extraordinary trust in him. It seems that no matter what he does, His Highness will tolerate him.
This feeling is really strange, as if... His Highness is an elder who has watched him grow up, and can allow him to be rude and make mistakes occasionally.
He would not be complacent because of this, let alone push for an advantage, but he had to admit that after realizing this, he did not want to hide anything in front of His Highness.
Say what you say, this is his attitude towards His Highness.
He thought that His Highness should also like him like this.
Sure enough, after hearing this, His Highness did not get angry, but instead had a smile on his lips.
Zheng Ji looked at Cheng Keyi and couldn't help but sigh that the other person was indeed an extremely perceptive person.
In such a short period of time, she had not even met him a few times, and he was already able to detect her true attitude towards him and make the most appropriate response.
As expected of Mr. Cheng who uprooted the Cheng family in his previous life and made almost half of the officials in Jingzhao sleepless at night?
Zheng Ji did not hide anything from him, and said: "This palace still lacks a civil servant, a civil servant who can become the central official. Master Cheng, are you willing to be used by this palace?"
When at Chunhui Tower, Zheng Ji also asked Dou Shiyuan similar words.
However, at that time, she wanted to use the entire Dou family, but now... she only needs Cheng Keyi.
Except for Cheng Keyi, she doesn't like anyone else in the Cheng family.
Of course, there are not many people in the Cheng family now.
"..." Even though Cheng Keyi had already been mentally prepared, he was stunned for a moment.
He really didn't expect that His Highness Changding would speak out his thoughts without any scruples. Is this...appropriate?
Should we say that His Highness has no authority, or should we say that His Highness has utmost trust in him?
No matter which one it was, it caught him off guard, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Before asking to see His Highness, he thought that His Highness would make some twists and turns and test each other, but... Your Highness just said it so straightforwardly?
Cheng Keyi felt a little annoyed: he was still too young and inexperienced!
He should have thought of it a long time ago, Your Highness is such an adult!
When they first met, His Highness said straight away that he had to do something in return.
She is His Highness Changding, who needs her to beat around the bush?
He pondered for a moment and then replied: "Your Highness, what if I don't want to?"
"That's nothing." Zheng Ji twitched the corners of his lips and said with a half-smile, "Then, you and your family of three may not be able to leave Princess Changding's mansion."
"..." Cheng Keyi was speechless again.
How could His Highness make a life-and-death threat so nonchalant?
It seems like...it's so easy to crush a few ants to death?
Zheng Ji laughed, and his originally cold and unattainable expression became more popular: "What? Is what I said wrong?"
Cheng Keyi sighed, nodded and said, "Your Highness, you are right, very right."
Indeed, it would be as easy for His Highness to take the lives of their family of three as to kill a few ants.
Because now he is just a seventh-grade official who needs to observe mourning for his grandfather for three years and has no family or power.
Three years later, I still don’t know if these seventh-grade ones are still around.
What is it about him that is worthy of Your Highness's attention?
Was he once a young champion? Or, what kind of influence does it have among scholars?
