I really don't want to be king

Chapter 28 Chapter 28 The nine princes will become the pillars of the country!

"Huh? You said that Xiaoyun went to the academy to study? Didn't she go back?"

In the study, Gongsun Yue, who had just retired from the court, was flipping through the bamboo slips, and felt a little strange when he heard that his granddaughter hadn't returned home in time.

"But isn't today the school's rest day?"

Gongsun Yue put down the bamboo slips and looked at his old housekeeper Fang Bo.

"That's true. Originally, Her Highness the Princess had already walked out of the palace, but she unexpectedly ran into His Highness the Ninth Prince who was going to study at the academy..."

Fang Bo had no choice but to report the truth, after all, Her Royal Highness was used to doing whatever she wanted, and he, an old slave, would dictate and interfere at will.

"Oh? Ninth Prince? Go to the academy to study?"

Gongsun Yue was even more surprised when he heard the words: "At that time, you just sent me into the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It must be Yinshi, right? Why..."

It is no wonder that Gongsunyue was surprised, because according to the law of Dagan, the court meeting will only start at Mao time (5 am to 7 am), and the school will start at Chen time (7 am to 9 am).

Why did the Ninth Prince get up to practice at Yinshi, this...

It's really incredible!

"That's right, the old slave was also wondering. After listening to the conversation between His Royal Highness the Princess and the Ninth Prince, I realized that the Ninth Prince often wakes up early to practice at Yinshi, every day, and never avoids it..."

Fang Bo couldn't help showing admiration on his face while he was talking. He allowed him to read countless people, and he had seen countless talented and hard-working students, but he had never seen such a style of behavior as the Ninth Prince!

"So Xiaoyun was inspired to go to the school to study?"

Gongsun Yue stood up slowly, couldn't help laughing and shook his head, obviously he had nothing to do with his precious granddaughter.

"That's true, and Her Royal Highness also specifically instructed... that in the future, she will go to the government for self-study every time she rests!"

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing. He stroked his beard with one hand while walking slowly in the house.

"Since Xiaoyun has this ambition...then follow what she says!"

Although he was reluctant to give up, the chances of seeing his little granddaughter in the future were greatly reduced, but Gongsunyue still chose to respect his little granddaughter's decision.

Because no one knows better than him how fierce and tenacious his little granddaughter's heart is!

"As for the Ninth Prince... it's interesting. It has always been rumored in the palace that he is a stupid prince who can't speak until he is five years old. I never thought that once he entered school, he would..."

Having said that, Gongsun Yue stopped walking, looked at Fang Bo and suddenly smiled.

"You have been outside the palace for a long time, do you know what happened in the palace a few days ago?"

Fang Bo's heart moved when he heard the words, could it be related to the Ninth Prince?

"At that time, it happened that the Ninth Prince was entering school for the first time. Grand Fu Zhong Miao asked in class: 'Why are you studying?', do you know how the Ninth Prince answered?"

Gongsun Yue pouted his mouth as he spoke, motioning for the wine jue to be handed over. 【Jeez: An Ancient Wine Set】

"The old slave doesn't know..."

Fang Bo understood immediately, shook his head to indicate that he couldn't guess, then quickly took the wine bar from the table and quickly filled it up.

But before he came to the front, he heard his master recite aloud.

"Study for the rise of Daqian!"

'Bang! With a sound, the wine jue landed on the ground!

The clear sake immediately spilled all over the floor, but Gongsun Yue not only didn't care, but laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha! Uncle Fang, when I first heard this, I was as shocked as you!"

"I made the master laugh..."

It wasn't until this time that Uncle Fang realized from Gongsun Yue's laughter, he quickly picked up the wine jue and put it away, then took out the new jue, filled up the sake again, and this time delivered it to his master in a safe manner.

"Okay, okay! Based on this statement, I deserve a drink!"

Gongsun Yue immediately held the wine cup in his hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then wiped his mouth with a "ha~", and couldn't help feeling emotional again.

"It seems that the rumors should not be trusted... These nine princes seem to have great ambitions! Not only are they working hard, they are also extremely deep in the city, and they will become the pillars of the country in the future!"

Fang Bo nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with his master's evaluation, and never questioned his master's vision of people.

"It's a pity... His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's background is humble, and his mother's family is only a generation of merchants. In addition, he is still young. Even if he has the ambition of Kunpeng, he can only be reduced to an idle vassal king..."

As he spoke, Fang Bo shook his head lightly, with a sense of pity in his words.

"Hmph! So what? No matter how prominent his mother clan is, how dare he covet the throne?"

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yue was suddenly displeased when he heard the words, snorted angrily, and immediately sat back in front of the case.

"Master, calm down...Although there is King Yan in front, who doesn't feel that King Qi Zhao Tuo is the most like the Holy Emperor back then?"

Fang Bo, the old housekeeper who has served the Gongsun family for two generations, was not in a hurry when he saw the master suddenly get angry, but continued with a smile.

"Nonsense! King Yan is the eldest son of the direct line! In any case, he should be the one to succeed! Even if he is a little less capable, how can he disrupt the ancestral system! Broke the patriarchal system?!"

The more Gongsun Yue talked, the more angry he became, and in the end he even patted the table!

"Okay, okay, what the master said is correct, and the old slave is just talking about the recent government and opposition movements..."

Uncle Fang poured the sake calmly, while talking about the news he heard recently.

"Oh? Recently, in the ruling and opposition parties, is there another Xiao Xiao who is advocating the succession of King Qi?"

Gongsun Yue had just taken half a sip of the wine jue, but he couldn't help but pause suddenly when he heard the words.

"There is an undercurrent surging... After all, not long ago, the King of Qi defeated Beidi in the frontier, beheaded thousands of people, and captured Beidi's general Tutuyan alive, which shocked the government and the public, and made people's hearts flutter..."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yue could only bury his head in drinking and sighed.

After all, King Qi fought in the battlefield and made great achievements repeatedly. It should be a great fortune for the country, but he was born as a common son, and the eldest son, King Yan, was useless, so far away...

Coupled with the fact that the Holy Emperor's mind is uncertain, he has not established a crown prince so far, and he is obviously hesitating, which naturally contributes to the unhealthy trend in the government and the public!

As a result, undercurrents are surging up and down the court, and there are many factions, and there is a hidden danger of seizing the heir!

"Also, I heard that the king of Qi will soon return his troops to the imperial court and return in triumph! At that time, there will naturally be a state banquet to celebrate the victory..."

The more Gongsun Yue heard it, the less he liked it, and he even didn't want to go to the state banquet.

But he was one of the Nine Ministers of the current dynasty, so how could he be absent at will for such an important event?

Besides, if I didn't go there, how could I grasp the trend of the government and the opposition in time, and control the undercurrent?

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yue sighed helplessly, with mixed feelings in his heart, so he slapped the table and shouted loudly!

"Ah~~! Fang Bo! Bring another jug ​​of wine!"

……

"In the fifth year of Shenwu, when Gongsun Yue was the minister of the Ministry of War of the Dagan, he happened to hear the brilliant words of the first emperor in the academy - 'study for the rise of the Dagan! : "This son is lurking like a Kunpeng, and he really has the ambition to swallow the sky!"

"With such a prince in Daqian, in this world of great controversy, he will surely come out of the world in the future and complete the great cause of great unification through the ages!" '

As soon as this remark came out, everyone on the left and right sighed, bluntly saying that the day of the big release is just around the corner!

After returning to the mansion, I heard that Shi Huangyin had risen from time to time, and he worked hard to study by himself. Even when he was resting and taking a bath, he never slack off, and even stood there blankly, it's unbelievable!

'Since ancient times, the supreme position should be occupied by those who are virtuous!Since the holy emperor achieved great ambitions and hegemony first as a bastard, the nine princes who achieved the eternal emperor's career as a bastard will come later! '

Looking at the nine sons, the king of Yan is weak and incompetent, and the king of Qi is too strong and easy to break, but the ninth prince Zhao Zheng is deeply hidden, soft and strong!It really looks like an emperor!I will do my best to help! '

After finishing speaking, I ordered my grandson Zhao Yun to follow the first emperor closely at all times, so as to compete for the first place in the dragon! "
