Seeing Nangong Xi's unhappy look, his own son Nangong Shou said with a smile: "Dad, when we were in the Wen Building in the palace, His Highness the Crown Prince always mentioned Lord Chu, and he was called Master Chu when he mentioned him, and he was highly respected."
Nangong Xi was slightly surprised: "The prince also calls Chu Qing his master?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Langya are both like this, they are highly respected."
Nangong Xi looked thoughtful.
King Langya follows Chu Qing every day, and he knows it.
The Emperor has a crush on Chu Qing, and he knows it.
But I didn't know that the prince also respected Chu Qing so much.
Once the prince ascends the throne in the future, Chu Qing's status will be equal to that of the emperor's master, and if Nangong Ping worships Chu Qing's sect...
Nangong Xi's mind started to become active.
He always wanted Nangong Ping to become an official in the court, but he always worried about gains and losses.
If this method is used, Chu Qing will become the "emperor's master" in the future, and Nangong Ping will become a "classmate" with the emperor?
Before Nangong Xi could think about it, Nangong Shou said with a smile: "Dad, why don't you let your child join Mr. Chu's sect."
Nangong Xi said angrily: "Why are you joining in the fun?"
Nangong Ping was anxious: "No, if you want to join Mr. Chu's sect, I'm afraid neither you nor I will have a chance."
Nangong Xi frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Master Chu has a rather weird temperament. Even if you take your nephew with you, uncle, Master Chu may not agree."
Upon hearing this, Old Nangong suddenly became unhappy: "Uncle, I am the prime minister of the dynasty. If I ask you, Ping'er, to join his sect, then you are looking down upon him!"
"Uncle, you are a good prime minister, but..."
"But what?"
"But even His Highness King Langya, Mr. Chu did not pretend to be polite, even...even..." Nangong Ping hesitated for a moment and continued: "He even said His Highness King Langya was like a dead child, annoying to death."
Nangong Xi: “…”
Nangong Ping added another word: "His Royal Highness King Langya has a guard named Tong Gui, who is the general of the Emperor's Guard. According to Tong Gui, His Highness the Crown Prince discussed with King Langya and wanted to ask the Emperor to send four gifts. The two Highnesses officially Become a disciple of Lord Chu."
Nangong Xi said with a look of envy and hatred: "This is Chu Qingtian's great blessing. His Majesty has decreed it."
"The emperor has not issued an edict, but asked Tong Gui to explore Master Chu's tone."
Nangong Xi looked puzzled: "Why do you want to test your tone?"
"Thinking about it, I think the emperor is afraid that if Mr. Chu refuses, the emperor will lose face."
Nangong Xi's face was a little dull.
He couldn't imagine why the fourth child's price dropped so much?
Nangong Ping continued: "After that, General Tong went to the Qianqiying Yamen Office and mentioned the matter casually, saying that the Crown Prince and His Highness King Langya wanted to become apprentices to Lord Chu and asked Lord Chu if he was willing."
Nangong Xi was confused: "What did Chu Qing say?"
"Tell me...tell your two highnesses to get away as far as you can."
Nangong Xi took a breath of cold air, and after being stunned for a while, he subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, does he know about this?"
"Yes, I heard His Highness King Langya say that the Emperor...the Emperor was just like you at that time. He said that he would like to let the two highnesses join the sect of Mr. Chu because he thinks highly of Mr. Chu."
"And after that?"
"After that... nothing happened after that. The emperor seemed embarrassed to talk about it again... No, he was busy with government affairs all day and didn't mention it again."
Nangong Xi: “…”
Nangong Shou delivered the last blow, and said to Nangong She in a slightly depressed tone: "Brother Ping, you may not get what you want. Dad is just a prime minister, so Master Chu... shouldn't appreciate him."
Nangong Xi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Is this word used to "compliment one's face"? !
Looking at Nangong Ping and then his son Nangong Shou, Nangong Xi, the prime minister at the time, felt a little guilty.
"Ping'er." Nangong Xi said with a slight embarrassment: "How about you think about it again, Ping'er? Uncle, this Chu Qing is just ordinary."
After seeing that the knife had not killed him, Nangong Shou gave him another fatal blow.
"Dad, Mr. Chu doesn't agree. The worst you can do is lose yourself. This is Brother Ping's wish."
"Fart!" Nangong Xi was still anxious after all: "Chu Qing has to respectfully call his father when he sees him, he dares to refuse!"
Nangong Ping sighed and murmured: "Master Chu is respectful when he meets any courtier with a higher official position than him. He was also respectful when he met Zhang Songling before."
Nangong Xi: “…”
"Dad." Nangong Shou put away his playful smile and sat on the stool like a young adult: "Actually, if Brother Ping joins Lord Chu's family, it will be good for our Nangong family and you."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Haier heard that Chu Qing wants to deal with the aristocratic families in the capital. If Brother Ping becomes a disciple of Mr. Chu, he will be one of his own. Don't forget that our Nangong family is also one of the aristocratic families in the capital."
Nangong Xi was a little tempted to exterminate the family for justice.
He understood clearly that this boy was afraid that he would be killed by Chu Qing in the future!
In fact, not all children from aristocratic families are playboys.
Let's talk about Nangong Shou, who was accompanying the prince to study. Chu Qing had seen him in the palace before, when he was teaching arithmetic.
At that time, Chu Qing didn't know Nangong Shou's identity at all, so he didn't even know about this guy.
Being able to enter the palace and study with the prince is partly because his father is the prime minister. Nangong Shou is also a rare young hero, and he has already achieved fame at the age of fifteen.
In addition to fame and family background, Huang Laosi asked this boy to accompany the prince to study because he paid attention to Nangong Shou's character.
The prince is the foundation of a country and the hope of the future of the country. Huang Laosi will not be careless about this kind of thing. He asked Qianqiying to investigate Nangong Shou's past in private.
He didn't have as many bad habits as the sons of the aristocratic family. Nangong guarded the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites as Guanzhenglang. He was respectful to Shangguan and never put on airs with civil servants. He mainly had three views.
There are so many children from aristocratic families in Beijing. There are many children from aristocratic families who don’t hang out on flower boats, don’t fly like eagles and horses, and don’t play tricks every day. Nangong Shou is one of them. Nangong Shou is one of them. He is courteous to others and does nothing but study. Normally, When he goes out for a walk, he never rides in a sedan or takes a servant with him. He is an extremely low-key second-generation official. He does not look like the son of a prime minister, but the son of a minister or a civil servant.
Whoever hangs out in whatever circles, Nangong Shou also has friends, young scholars in the scholarly community.
These few young scholars gathered together to discuss political affairs and court ills.
When talking about these things, it is inevitable not to mention Chu Qing, who has repeatedly made headlines in Beijing.
He was already on good terms with the prince and often went in and out of the palace. In addition, he heard a lot of Chu Qing's "deeds" from Nangong Ping, so he respected Chu Qing and Nangong Shou.
In fact, even Chu Qing himself didn't know that he also had fans, including some from aristocratic families, but they were all young scholars.
When these people mentioned Chu Qing, how could they not admire him.
He is only a few years older than himself, but he is in a high position and is in charge of the Qianqi Camp. He is also a nobleman with a foreign surname. He eliminates national traitors and saves the people. How can he not admire these sons of the aristocratic family who are in the "rebellious period".
Nangong Xi, who was upset, finally compromised.
Not to mention other things, he was really doting on Nangong Ping. He was more like a son than his own son. He cursed a few times in annoyance and boasted a few words. When he saw that it was still early, Nangong Xi stood up. "Then uncle will go to Qianqiying Yamen Office to meet Chu Qing."
Nangong Ping was overjoyed: "Thank you uncle for helping your nephew."
Nangong Shou did not change his true nature and reminded: "Dad, please check your tone first, don't get straight to the point and lose face."
"It doesn't matter what you say, after becoming a father, of course you have to first..."
In the middle of the scolding, Nangong Xi's face turned red, and he pinched his neck and shouted: "How dare he deny his father's face!"
