Dujie Patriarch is cannon fodder

Rong Yue had crooked eyebrows and a bright smile, and her kind shouting made Rong Qi feel a little better.

Rong Yang saw that Rong Yue's request was approved, so he also cautiously asked Rong Qi not to eat bitter shepherds, and naturally got Rong Qi's permission.

It is rare for the two children to let go of their proud etiquette and become real children for a while.

After lunch, Li's eldest maid came to pick up the two children and went back. Before leaving, Rong Yue reluctantly grabbed Rong Qi's clothes and said, "Father, my brother and I can still be together in the future." Did you eat?"

Rong Qi gently rubbed the child's hair, it was soft and warm, and it felt good, he nodded with a smile: "Father is just having nothing to do now, but I wish you two would come to accompany father often It’s time to eat! You can come here anytime you want, and I told the servant girl to tell you that my father asked the dining room to prepare the food you like.”

The eyes of the two children brightened, and they immediately said happily: "Thank you, father."

It was the first time for the two children to truly understand that there are still many benefits to their father not being a prince. At least his father is willing to joke with them and will not keep telling them to pay attention to royal etiquette.Thinking of the food their father added to them before, they felt that it was worthwhile to suffer more grievances in the academy.

Since the original owner was abolished as the crown prince and expelled from the royal family due to poor personal morality, the treatment of the two children in the academy is naturally not as good as before. The classmates who used to bow down to them can now despise and ridicule them, and they used to be friends with them My friends are now staying away for various reasons, and even speak ill of them behind their backs.However, those people did not dare to offend them too much after all. Although their father was no longer the prince, their grandmother was always the queen, and their eighth emperor uncle was always the first prince.

Although Rong Qi said that the two children could come to the main courtyard at any time, Rong Yang and Rong Yue did not show up for a long time.

Rong Qi met the original owner's younger brother, Rong Ming, on a breezy morning. At this time, Rong Ming was no longer bright, cheerful, and vigorous, and he appeared in front of Rong Qi in a bit of a state of embarrassment.

"Brother, in the battle in Northern Xinjiang, my uncle was seriously injured, and my mother angered my father, I'm afraid..." Rong Ming said in a low voice.

After Rong Ming finished speaking, Rong Qi poured a cup of hot tea for Rong Ming himself, and said straight to the point: "Rong Ming, what do you think of the superior?"

Rong Ming's pupils shrank, and he smiled wryly: "Brother, I'm really not interested in the superior position, you don't have to..." Try again.

"Rong Ming, I am no longer a member of the royal family, and there is absolutely no possibility of aspiring to the top position. If you care about the common people and want to seek the top position, my brother will help you." Rong Qi said.

Rong Ming raised his head and took a deep look at Rong Qi. In Rong Ming's eyes, his elder brother is a gentleman, gentle and refined. Although he grew up in the center of the bloody storm, he still has a heart of innocence.In fact, being born in an emperor's family, as a prince, it is a good thing to have benevolence and kindness, but being too clear is a disadvantage for others and oneself.

Seeing that Rong Ming didn't speak, Rong Qi said again: "Although you haven't reached the political stage yet, you should be able to see that the court and harem are now in a state of turmoil, and if you make a wrong move, you may be wiped out, but how do you go, can you be careful every step of the way?" , it's all up to you."

Rong Ming still didn't speak, just drank tea in a muffled voice. After a while, Rong Ming said: "Brother, do you still remember the wish I told you when I was six years old? I said that after you came to power, you would definitely make Jiangnan rich and prosperous. Give me a fief, and I will enclose a large piece of land near the water, build an exquisite and beautiful house, and then raise three or five beautiful wives in the house, give birth to seven or eight children, and live for the rest of my life. My lord Xiaoyao. My brother, my wish has not changed until now."

Rong Qi said: "Rong Ming, you should know that today is different from the past. Elder brother has already been abolished as the crown prince, expelled from the royal family, and has no qualification to give you the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. However, elder brother respects your idea." , if you don’t want to, that’s fine!”

Rong Ming held the teacup tightly, but said on his face, "Thank you, brother."

Rong Qi sighed slightly. To be honest, he was in a difficult situation. If Rong Ming didn't want to be the emperor, he would have to choose a benevolent prince from among the emperor's princes who could accommodate the relatives and friends of the original owner. For Rong Qi who has only seen Rong Ming as a prince so far, it is undoubtedly a huge project.

It's not that Rong Qi didn't think about being the same as his original place, waiting for Rong An to fight against the princes, and finally step up to the high position step by step, but Rong An is not a tolerant prince, his high position is accumulated with the blood and bones of countless people.

Rong Qi said: "Think about it carefully, if it's really unintentional, then that's fine!"

Rong Ming's character is good, he is loyal, he is decisive in doing things, and he has a heart of benevolence. If he helps him to the top, the original owner will not object.

Rong Ming nodded stiffly, and talked about other things with Rong Qi.

Rong Ming didn't have lunch in the Hou Mansion, he got up and left after talking with Rong Qi for a while, before leaving, Rong Qi prepared a gift for him to bring to the queen when he entered the palace.

It was three days later that Rong Qi saw Rong Ming again. At this time, Rong Ming's face was full of fatigue, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. Seeing Rong Qi, Rong Ming's first words were: "Brother, I've decided, I want that spot."

Rong Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and gently put down the jade white chess piece in his hand, there was a crisp sound when the chess piece touched the chessboard, and the sound fell on Rong Ming's heart, making his heart beat two times faster uncontrollably point.

"Decided?" Rong Qi picked up another black piece and slowly dropped it. The pieces on the chessboard are criss-crossed, strong and weak, and intrigues are presented one by one. Rong Qi seems to have not noticed the flickering between black and white. , asked casually: "Why?"

A few traces of ferocity and despair appeared on Rong Ming's pale face. He bit his lip and clenched his fist, and then slowly let go: "I don't want to let the one I love disappear in my life."

Rong Qi narrowed his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he said: "But it's related to Miss Wednesday?"

Rong Ming closed his eyes in embarrassment, and said weakly: "Alan died, just last night."

Today should be Zhou Alan's big wedding day.

Zhou Alan and Rong Ming are also in love with each other. Originally, Rong Ming thought that he would welcome Zhou Alan into the door this year. He didn't want bad things to happen one after another. After asking Emperor Xuan to marry him, Zhou Alan's father made an engagement for her with the prince of Kang County, and did not ask Zhou Alan's opinion during this period.

Today is the wedding day of Zhou Alan and Prince Kang's son, but it has also become Zhou Alan's memorial day.

Rong Qi had already played a round, he gave the sunspot to Rong Ming, and said, "Play the next round with me."

Rong Ming is really in a bad mood now, but he is used to listening to his elder brother, and he still sits honestly opposite Rong Qi and plays chess with him.

Rong Qi said: "Rong Ming, you have to know that you are not the only one who can't get what you want in this world, if everyone is like you, wanting that position when encountering hardships, then what order is there in this world? "

Rong Ming's face paled, and Rong Qi said again: "You should know that that position not only represents the supremacy of life and death, but also countless responsibilities, the protection of rivers and mountains, the lives of soldiers, the vitality of the people, and the responsibility of the dynasty." Fuze."

Rong Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Rong Ming, slowly lowered the white piece in his hand, and said: "Although Rong An is unruly in the world, he is right in saying that the king is like a boat, the people are like water, and water can carry it." A boat can also capsize, do you understand?"

Rong Ming smiled wryly and said: "Brother, in fact, you are the one who should sit in the position of emperor. You are benevolent and virtuous, and ascending to a high position is a blessing to the country and the people."

Rong Qi laughed and said: "Rong Ming, in fact, you can be a good emperor. Regarding the current court, what do you think you should do?"

"Come in!" Rong Ming said firmly.

Rong Qi pointed to the chess game and said slowly: "Look at the game, but there are three forces competing with each other?"

Rong Ming knew that Rong Qi was telling him about the situation in the game, he thought for a while, nodded and said: "What brother said is true."

Rong Qi smiled slightly, and placed two pieces in the chess game: "How about now?"

"There is an extra force." Rong Ming said.

"No!" Rong Qi casually retracted one of the chess pieces, and said, "I just brought in the chess player, no one is an absolutely rational chess player, so are you and me, that... more Yes! So, what you have to do now is not to enter the game, but to stay as far away from the game as possible."

"What do you mean brother?"

"The war in northern Xinjiang is about to start, as the emperor's son, you should contribute to the country." Rong Qi said.

If you retreat, you may not be able to advance!Emperor Chenxuan's fiftieth birthday has not yet passed, and now is the time when dragons and tigers are fierce, and his desire for power is also the strongest in his life. During this period of time, no matter who, no matter who covets his power, he will Ruthlessly slaughter each other.Although the current court is full of intrigues, it may not be full of fear.

Leaving temporarily is the best choice.

Moreover, the northern border fighters have always had the reputation of being the masters of tigers and wolves. If they can be recruited, it will be of unlimited benefit to Rong Ming's future.

Rong Ming looked at Rong Qi with a complicated expression. His elder brother was originally an amazing and talented prince, but he was expelled from the royal family because of a woman's framing, and missed the position. To the royal family and the common people, how could this be a miracle? Big loss.

That concubine Jin is really hateful!

Rong Ming left after eating in the Hou's mansion. Since he has absolutely robbed that position, he can't do nothing, and he can't rely on his elder brother for everything.

In the 26th year of Emperor Xuan, the northern border war broke out. The emperor's eighth son, Rong Ming, asked the emperor to go to the northern border. He vowed to drive the invaders out of the rivers and mountains of Chen Kingdom and protect the people of Chen Kingdom.

The emperor was overjoyed and said, good, so he canonized the eighth son of the emperor, Rong Ming, as the general of Zhenbei, gave him a dragon talisman, and went to the northern border.

Before setting off, Rong Ming went to Hou Mansion to meet Rong Qi again. The two brothers chatted secretly in the study for an entire hour. When the eighth son left the study of Hou Mansion, his face was clearly calm.
