wait for me to be king

Lu Dai sighed and lay down on the bed with a gloomy expression on his face.

"This is a completely innocent disaster!" He yelled at his friend, "I already talked to Commander Xie, but how could Duke Ding know that he would beat people with a sap?"

There was a young man sitting at the desk next to him. The young man was wearing a royal blue robe and had a hard face. When he heard Lu Dai's complaint, he shook his head with a smile, "So what about Duke Ding? Duke Ding returned to the field and is staying at home." You have nothing to do, but your family is looking for trouble at this stall, you deserve to be beaten!"

"It's not good to make friends!" Lu Dai shook his head, "Speaking of which Commander Xie is also your family, are you really not related?"

He smiled and looked at his friend, "Even the names are so fateful, his name is Xie Changfeng, your name is Xie Pingchuan~haha, it's really interesting."

Xie Pingchuan raised his eyebrows, "General Xie was born in the Yan Dynasty, my family is in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I can't do anything, so don't talk such nonsense!"

Lu Dai laughed, "Don't worry, Commander Xie has a broad mind and extraordinary conversation. He's not some kind of rough guy. You'll know when you meet him in the future."

Xie Pingchuan shook his head, no matter what kind of person Commander Xie is, it has nothing to do with him.

"You'd better find a way to pass the palace examination first. With your appearance, is it possible that someone will carry you to the Golden Palace?"

Lu Dai didn't care, "It's a big deal to retake the next subject."

Xie Pingchuan sighed, Lu Dai is more than ten years younger than him, and has a background, so he can indeed wait, but he can't.

He is already 35 years old, and this time it was his last fight. How could he have gotten into the list by luck? , the Xie family can become an official family!

"You can retake the exam, but my family can't wait." Xie Pingchuan laughed at himself, "Fortunately, my eldest son has already obtained the qualification of a child student. Compared with me, he is more talented in reading."

Speaking of his eldest son, Xie Pingchuan showed a warm smile, and he teased, "Brother Mingyuan, if you really plan to continue the exam, your father will probably arrange a marriage for you when you return home this time."

Lu Dai raised his head suddenly when he heard the words, as if he just remembered this matter, "Yes! It's time for me to get married!"

Xie Pingchuan said with a smile, "After returning home, it will be your good stepmother who arranged for your marriage, right?"

As soon as Lu Dai turned over, he got up from the bed, suddenly full of motivation, "I can't give up just for a daughter-in-law who suits me!"

Xie Pingchuan couldn't laugh or cry, he picked up the mansion papers on the table, "Speaking of which, thank you very much, if it wasn't for brother Mingyuan, I still wouldn't be able to see these mansion papers."

These days, the mansion newspaper is equivalent to the internal newspaper of the government. The number of printings is strictly controlled, and ordinary people will never see the mansion newspaper without access.

Lu Dai waved his hand, "You can watch it if you want, but you have been watching it for so long, how is your research going?"

Xie Pingchuan looked indifferent, "I can only see that His Majesty is extraordinary today. His father will not change his ways after his father's death. It has only been a year since the death of the late Emperor. Now we still can't see what His Majesty's plan is."

It is His Majesty who writes the questions in the palace examination. They must not only consider the examiner's preferences, but also be familiar with His Majesty's preferences. The journey of thousands of miles is only the last step. If they are dismissed in the palace examination, it will be a failure.

"It was reported in the mansion newspaper that the person in charge of the follow-up of the capital earthquake is His Highness King Qi. His Highness the Crown Prince has done a good job before, so he changed people..." Xie Pingchuan pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Actually, if you can take the exam this year Now, brother Lu, don't wait for the next subject, I always feel that the next subject will be more unlucky."

Lu Dai was also silent, and said after a while, "His Royal Highness Qi Wang has not yet married a wife, so he is not considered an adult, so there is no need to go to the fief for the time being."

The two looked at each other, but they both made a decision in their hearts. They must pass the exam this year, and then leave the capital far away.

Bang Bang Bang!

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Both Xie Pingchuan and Lu Dai were taken aback, Xie Pingchuan said, "Is this for you?"

Ever since Lu Dai was beaten with a sap, he abandoned the other courtyard of the Lu family in the suburbs of Beijing. After all, compared with the capital, the possibility and success of being saped in the suburbs is higher, and his stepmother cries in his ear every day, saying that he is sure. The Duke's mansion bullied others, one daughter married twice, and even wanted to persuade his uncle to impeach Duke Ding, but he calmed down after being ridiculed by his wife.

Lu Dai was impatient with these trivial matters, so he ran to the small courtyard rented by his friend Xie Pingchuan in the name of recuperating. It had been quiet for two days, could it be that his stepmother came to the door?

Xie Pingchuan asked the boy to open the door for questioning, then turned to Lu Dai and said, "She is your stepmother after all, she is your elder, no matter what, she can't be confirmed."

Lu Dai snorted coldly and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the servant hurried back, "Master! The person who knocked on the door said he was the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Palace!!"

Lu Dai and Xie Pingchuan were stunned at the same time, and Lu Dai laughed loudly, "What a coincidence, why don't you come in quickly?"

Xie Pingchuan raised his eyebrows, "Can you still entertain guests?"

Lu Dai yelled, "I was beaten by his father-in-law!"

"Mingyuan?" Xie Changfeng opened the door and came in, "What's wrong with you? Father-in-law beat you with a sap?"

Xie Pingchuan frowned slightly, how could there be any reason for guests to come in directly?

The villain Xie Changfeng complained first, "How can your boy see the door? He ran in without closing the door after asking questions? If bad guys rushed in, wouldn't you be out of luck?"

Xie Pingchuan choked, and stared at the boy next to him with a dark face. The boy shrank his neck, tears streaming down his face, being stared at by this evil god, he didn't dare to close the door QAQ "It's the students who have neglected the leader, the students Xie Pingchuan, I wonder what Commander Xie is doing?"

Xie Changfeng looked at Xie Pingchuan.

80 points for appearance, 80 points for height, 90 points for temperament, 90 points for voice, No.18 in the test, 90 points for knowledge, if the means are more superb...

Xie Changfeng felt his hands were itchy.

He looked at Lu Dai, originally he was looking for Xie Pingchuan, but since Lu Dai is here, there are some things he can't say.

"Mingyuan, have you been beaten by my father-in-law?"

Lu Dai cried and shouted, "Yes! What can I do with my palace examination?!"

Xie Changfeng sized Lu Dai up, "It's okay, at least my face wasn't beaten like a pig's head."

Lu Dai pointed at himself with a dark face, "It's difficult for me to stand up, how can I take the palace examination?"

Xie Changfeng stepped forward, "Let me take a look for you."

Xie Pingchuan watched helplessly as Xie Changfeng ignored him and ran to the bed to check on Lu Dai's injuries.

He clenched his fists subconsciously, and a trace of sullenness flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, with a smile still on his face, and was about to follow him when he heard a voice next to him.

"Your name is Xie Pingchuan?"

Xie Pingchuan lowered his head and saw a four or five-year-old child standing beside him. The little child was wearing an ordinary gray coat and was holding a black cat in his arms. Tilting his head, a pair of black eyes and a pair of blue cat's eyes stared at him ignorantly, the anger in Xie Pingchuan's heart suddenly dissipated, and he was shamefully stunned.

Remembering that the youngest son in the family was about the same age as this child, Xie Pingchuan glanced at Xie Changfeng, who was giving Lu Dai a massage, and squatted down halfway, looking at the child with a smile.

"Yes, my name is Xie Pingchuan, what's your name?"

"My name is Fu Zhao." Qi Zhao kept in mind Xie Changfeng's words that he must never reveal his real name when he was out of the house, so he simply used his mother's surname.

Xie Pingchuan's eyes on Qi Zhao suddenly changed, surnamed Fu?famous?If he remembers correctly, the eldest son of His Royal Highness seems to be called Qi Zhao?

He couldn't help but look at Xie Changfeng, this guy is really bold, he just took the eldest grandson of the emperor out of the palace, and brought him to the home of a common man?Isn't he afraid of accidents?

But... From this, it can be seen that His Royal Highness really trusts Commander Xie.

"You know who I am now." Qi Zhao said abruptly, "How did you find out?"

Xie Pingchuan was surprised when he heard the words, "Oh? Then, would your highness be willing to tell the students, how did you know?"

"You see, my eyes are similar to those of the people in the palace." If he hadn't been out of the palace to play outside for so long, Qi Zhao would not be able to tell the difference, but now compare Xie Pingchuan's eyes with those of the uncle who sells candied haws outside Once, it is naturally obvious.

As expected of the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Xie Pingchuan praised, "Your Highness is really smart."

Qi Zhao stroked the little meow in his arms, disapproving, "It's just that I've seen too much."

Xie Pingchuan was stunned again, his youngest son was still acting like a spoiled child in his wife's arms, did the eldest grandson of the emperor in front of him calmly face the praise, and showed humility?

He didn't know that Xie Changfeng took Qi Zhao all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and saw too many different people and things. Xie Changfeng never put him off just because he was young. On the contrary, whenever Qi Zhao asked, he would seriously explain , even if Qi Zhao didn't quite understand it, he would remember every word Xie Changfeng said.

"The reason why you don't understand why this happens is because you know too little, see too little, learn too little, and appreciate too little." Xie Changfeng didn't want the future emperor to grow up in the hands of a deep palace woman. For the royal family, Qi Zhao can be arrogant, arrogant, or defiant, but he must not be without self-knowledge and a broad mind.

Qi Zhao looked at Xie Pingchuan in front of him, "I heard from Master that you are very powerful."

"Master?"

"It's Commander Xie." Qi Zhao raised his head, "There are many things I don't understand, can you explain it to me?"

Xie Pingchuan was a little confused, he tentatively asked, "I don't know what your highness wants to know?"

"The capital earthquake caused many people's houses to collapse. The emperor's grandfather clearly allocated money for relief, so why are there so many people selling their sons and daughters in the slave market?" Qi Zhao looked at Xie Pingchuan quietly, "It's the emperor's grandfather who allocated money for relief. Is it not enough? But the father and the king used to follow the relief plan of ten taels of silver for each household, saving a little enough for the common people to live for two months. Now that the earthquake has only passed one month, why are the common people selling themselves? They have no money Is it? Even if the family property is destroyed by the earthquake, they can still do part-time jobs. The father also has a plan to help clean up the ruins in exchange for food, and also organized a doctor in the Jingzhong Pharmacy to treat the victims in a unified way, so why give up on the common people? What about voluntary slavery?"

Xie Pingchuan stared at the grandson of the emperor in a daze, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Why?Why else?It's nothing more than officials filling their own pockets and swallowing some of the relief money, so that some civilians can't get the relief money, or those scumbags encourage local hooligans to find trouble all day long, and ordinary civilians can't survive, so they can only sell their daughters. Ren Yazi just took advantage of this to make a profit!Moreover, in this day and age, ordinary civilians have no power or influence. In fact, it is better to be attached to a wealthy family and send their daughters to be servant girls, so that they can take advantage of their master's prestige...

But these words, can he say these words to the five-year-old eldest grandson in front of him?

Qi Zhao looked at Xie Pingchuan quietly, gradually feeling disappointed.

Before coming, Xie Changfeng told him that Xie Pingchuan in front of him is a very powerful person, and his father and king also planned to win over this person, but Qi Zhao never expected that this Xie Pingchuan didn't even have the courage to tell the truth.

He asked his master Xie Changfeng these questions yesterday, and the master tried his best to tell him all the reasons and reasons he could think of, and even took him to ask those prostitutes in person, their thoughts and reasons, and compared his master, Looking at Xie Pingchuan in front of him, he immediately judged.

Qi Zhao tilted his head, his voice was a bit cold, "Do you not know, or are you unwilling to tell me?"

Xie Pingchuan was not sweating on his forehead, but cold sweating all over his body.

Is this Nima still a five-year-old child?

"I see." Qi Zhao turned his head, carried Xiao Miao to Xie Changfeng's side, and decided to go back and tell his father that this Xie Pingchuan was timid and incompetent!
