Chapter 3: Why is there an extra King of Qin?
The next day, Qin Hao came to Wenhua Palace again, and the prince was still the first to arrive. After seeing Qin Hao, he just nodded slightly.
King Qing, who was sitting on his right, waved to Qin Hao: "Ninth Brother, I heard that you made a big fuss in the Dou Mansion yesterday, which made Wang Xingyi very embarrassed and did a pretty job."
Speaking of the Liangzi between Wang Xingyi and King Qing, it has been a long time since he was a stubborn princeling. Wang Xingyi has been urging Zhu Jianshen to go to the fiefdom of Liaodong as a long time, but he was unable to match the pilgrimage of Queen Wan, and Wang Xingyi was demoted.
As a result, Zhu Jianshen has re-activated Wang Xingyi, which naturally makes Queen Wan and King Qing very unhappy.
Upon hearing this, the prince frowned: "Fourth brother, the head of the Dou family's new mourning mistress, the house mourning, the ninth brother's funeral instigation was not done by a gentleman, how can you still praise him?"
"Hmph, here we are again. Your Highness the Crown Prince likes to talk about these great principles. This is not in the court and the father is not here. Who will the play be sung for?" King Qing said disdainfully.
Qin Hao saw that the two were about to quarrel, so in order to avoid being encircled into the center of the storm, he stepped forward and handed over the gold medal that King Qing gave him yesterday.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother, for giving the token, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get out of the palace gate."
King Qing raised his eyebrows proudly at the prince, but did not take back the gold medal from Qin Hao's hand, and said with a good look: "I'll give this token to my ninth brother."
“How does this make.”
"Oh, it's just a gold medal, no matter how important the relationship between you and me is."
"Then I will thank the fourth brother."
King Qing patted Qin Hao on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Oh, that's right, you're much more interesting than some people."
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from outside the hall, and a middle-aged scholar slowly stepped into the hall.
"Dou Shiying has met the prince, His Highness, Prince Qing, and the Ninth Prince."
The prince said in a gentle and polite tone: "Mr. Dou is exempt from gifts."
King Qing looked at Dou Shiying a few times and said, "You are Dou Shiying. Humph, I'm so rude. My father asked you to be the ninth brother's master. You haven't entered the palace to give lectures for ten days..."
Dou Shiying's forehead was sweating faintly, and just as he was about to explain, the prince had already taken the lead: "Fourth brother, Mr. Dou's middle-aged wife has already asked for leave from the cabinet, so why should you be aggressive?"
"Hmph, if your father has his or her destiny, it is the imperial edict. All the kings under the world are the kings, and all the kings are the kings. A little Shuji dares to disobey the imperial edict. It is not an exaggeration to see that the king is beheading his head and scout his house."
Dou Shiying complained secretly. Although he was a nerd, he also knew that the prince and King Qing were in the same state as the same as the water and fire, and that he was affected by the fish in the pond.
"Your Highness, Fourth Brother, yesterday my father asked about the situation of the Dou family. Since my father had no intention of asking for guilt, I must have felt that Mr. Dou was understandable. The class time has come. Why not let Mr. Dou finish the class first and then ask his father to decide what to do?"
The prince nodded slightly. Seeing that Qin Hao had brought Zhu Jianshen out, King Qing had to stop and return to his seat.
Dou Shiying breathed a long sigh, and was very grateful to Qin Hao. After calming down, he slowly walked to the podium.
"The three high men have passed the elementary school stage, and today I will start the lecture with the Spring and Autumn Period." After saying that, he gently opened the book and recited: "The Duke of Jin, Qin Bo surrounded Zheng because he was rude to Jin, and was also in the same position as Chu. Jin army Hanling, Qin army flew south. Yi said to Zheng Bo: "The country is in danger. If Zhu Zhiwu meets Qin, his army will retreat." The Duke followed him..."
After reading a paragraph, Dou Shiying turned sideways and asked softly: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, can you tell where this paragraph comes from?"
"From the Spring and Autumn Period of Zuo's Family: Zhuzhiwu retreated to Qin's army."
Dou Shiying nodded in praise: "Can your highness know the deep meaning?"
"Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin sent troops to besiege Zheng, so Zheng Bo sent an envoy Zhu Zhiwu to meet Duke Mu of Qin. Zhu Zhiwu saw through Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Mu of Qin, moved him with emotion and learned about it for profit. Finally, he successfully persuaded Duke Mu of Qin to withdraw his troops. Duke Wen of Jin asked for troops to attack the Qin army. Duke Wen of Jin said: "No. If I had no power of that person, I would not have reached this point. Relying on the power of others and then hurting him is unbenevolent; losing the power of his alliance is really unwise; using chaos to change the existing coordination is not majestic. Let's go back! The Jin army left Zheng and Zheng was preserved."
After Qin Hao finished speaking, the prince frowned: "Ninth brother, you should be moved by emotion and reason, right?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right, just to know it for profit. If there is no real benefit, how can we resolve the danger of destroying the country?" Qin Hao shook his head.
Dou Shiying frowned when she heard this and was about to correct her, but she heard King Qing clapping and cheering.
"What the Ninth Brother said is very true. Duke Mu of Qin is a overlord. He mobilized many troops. If there is no benefit, how could he easily stop the army? Does His Highness think that just relying on Zhu Zhiwu can make Qin retreat? "
Just as King Qing was about to take advantage of the victory and humiliate the prince severely, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty is here."
"Meet the Father."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hands to Qin Hao and the other two with a gentle smile on his face: "Let's just flat."
After saying that, he said to Dou Shiying: "Dou Aiqing's funeral has not been sorted out yet, so I'll ask you to teach me these three incompetent sons. It's really hard."
"I am afraid that the three nobles have talents of heaven and earth. I am afraid that the talented people are absurd and unwilling to the emperor's kindness, which delays the three nobles." Dou Shiying crawled on the ground and did not dare to look up.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at Dou Shiying's textbook: "Dou Aiqing is talking about this passage today. You three of you will hear what you learned."
The prince looked serious and said slowly: "As the gentleman said, governing the country should be based on kindness and diplomacy. Disputes should be resolved through communication and consultation, and try to avoid easily starting wars. Only in this way can the people live a peaceful and prosperous life."
Seeing that Zhu Jianshen had no expression on his face, King Qing said loudly: "Father, the prince said that the sons and ministers do not agree with each other. Just like the Japanese pirates harassing our dynasty for years, the court issued several orders to pacify, but the more they recruited, the more rampant the pirates became. According to what the sons and ministers saw, they should be wiped out with thunder to shock people."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The prince's face darkened, a hint of anger revealed in his eyes, and he retorted: "Fourth brother, the hearts of the people are the foundation of the country. Once the war breaks out, it will only cause the people's lives and their families to be destroyed. If you ignore the lives of the people, even if you dominate the world for a while, how can you achieve long-term stability?"
King Qing snorted coldly: "With Song Dynasty, one will be destroyed and fearful to fight. Our Taizu Emperor will conquer the world with his military power. If he is as cowardly as the prince, wouldn't he have to follow the emperor of Song?"
Dou Shiying, who was standing beside him, was about to sweat and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in on the spot. If he had known that he would not have listened to Brother Wu, he would have entered the palace so early.
Zhu Jianshen watched the prince and King Qing quarrel, but did not stop him, but instead turned his eyes on his younger son who was watching the show.
"Haoer, do you think your elder brother and fourth brother are reasonable?"
Qin Hao cursed inwardly that this cheap father wanted to put him on the fire. Sure enough, both the prince and King Qing focused their attention on him.
Qin Hao had a sudden inspiration and bowed and said, "Father, according to the child, the two brothers said their own truths. His Highness is benevolent and advocates that harmony is the most important thing. This is undoubtedly a blessing for the people of the world. Brother Qing, attaches importance to force and strives to be strong in the country, and it is also to defend the country. Just like the story in "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", diplomacy and force are important means for the country to stand in the world. Both complement each other and are indispensable. As children of the royal family, we shoulder the important tasks of family and country, and should be tolerant of each other, join hands and make suggestions for the prosperity of the country."
"Slip!" King Qing was not satisfied with Qin Hao's answer.
The prince's eyes lit up.
Zhu Jianshen smiled in praise when he heard this: "Well, what Hao'er said is very true. You two are brothers. If one can support each other, why worry about our country being unable to last forever?"
"My sons follow the teachings of the father."
Even if King Qing was unwilling to accept it, he would not dare to show it too obviously in front of Zhu Jianshen.
"Okay, let's get here for today's teaching. You all leave first, Hao'er stays."
Dou Shiying felt relieved and quickly bowed to leave, while King Qing was unwilling to withdraw from the hall with the prince.
After everyone left, Zhu Jianshen suddenly spoke, "You are not young this year, it's time to be the king of you. For your good performance today, I promise you to choose a fiefdom."
Qin Hao secretly complained that he clearly wanted to use him to restrain King Qing. His heart was really dirty when he became an emperor, and his own son never forgot to play with the checks and balances.
Of course, Qin Hao naturally would not let go of the benefits of delivering them to the door.
"Father, the child wants Qin."
Zhu Jianshen was slightly surprised: "Oh, why don't you choose the rich land in Jiangnan and instead choose the Qin land?"
"Although Jiangnan is rich, it also bears the burden of taxes for our dynasty. If the father confers one of them to the child, wouldn't the court have to reduce a large part of the taxes? In order to make up for this deficit, it will naturally exploit the people. When the people are not willing to give birth, will the child become a sinner?" Qin Hao said righteously.
Zhu Jianshen praised him very much: "Okay, I have such knowledge and mind at such a young age. I am worthy of being a descendant of my Zhu family."
"Hehe, I can't praise my father, but the main reason is that there are very few fathers in the Jiangnan area, which is not as broad as Qin."
Seeing Qin Hao looking like he was obsessed with money, Zhu Jianshen laughed and scolded: "You guy is waiting for me here. If you don't give you more seals, I'm afraid I'll blame me for being stingy."
"Forget it, let's make you the King of Qin."
I don’t know if Zhu Jianshen came prepared or had prepared everything for Qin Hao before. Just half a month later, a grand ceremony of kingship was held for him.
This made the already turbid situation in the court even more confusing.
Originally, it was a battle between the prince and King Qing. Qin Hao was a transparent person. He had neither the support of the queen nor the title of righteousness. However, according to Zhu Jianshen's recent attitude towards Qin Hao, he seemed to attach great importance to it, which made many officials hesitate and hesitate. He didn't know whether to give it a try or to be on the ship of the prince and King Qing for safety.
Although he was named King of Qin, according to the court system, Qin Hao was still young and did not need to go to the vassal states. Instead, the prince's party used the excuse of Qin Hao's title of King of Kings to submit a memorial to remind Zhu Jianshen that it should be made a vassal state.
In response, Queen Wan was furious and beat two unlucky guys with lower official positions to the court.
The cabinet officials were all old foxes. Seeing that Zhu Jianshen had no statement and knew that things could not be done, he stopped.
At the same time, Dou Fu.
After Dou Zhao took charge of the meritorious service, he gradually gained a certain prestige, and managed the Dou family in an orderly manner. Dou Shiying was surprised and did not object to Dou Zhao taking charge of the meritorious service.
Dou Shishu had a headache. He originally thought that an eight-year-old girl would definitely not be able to do everything. When she aroused the anger of heaven and people, he would come forward to accept Dou Zhao's gift cards and then welcome Wang Yingxue into the door, which would be considered an explanation to Wang Xingyi.
"King of Qin? Why did a King of Qin appear?" Dou Zhao also had his own troubles.
According to her "memories from previous lives", many things have come true, including the death of her mother. If the memories from previous lives are real, she can completely change her destiny according to the advantages of foresight.
But the existence of "King of Qin" made Dou Zhao unable to believe whether "memory of previous lives" was really reliable.
"Damn it, why did there be an extra King of Qin!"
The cousin Zhao Zhangru, who was standing beside him, asked in confusion: "Shou Gu, what's wrong with the King of Qin? Hasn't he helped you?"
Dou Zhao looked at his cousin with a confused face and sighed secretly, if he had not had the "memory of his previous life", would he live so carefree like his cousin?
"Forget it, don't care about him, just take it as a bet."
After making up his mind, Dou Zhao began to do business. After all, the Dou family was in the capital, and the cost of welcoming and sending people was quite high, but only Dou Shishu and Dou Shiying were officials in the court. They were already unable to make ends meet with their salary alone. In recent years, their mothers used their dowry to subsidize the Dou family.
Dou Zhao naturally couldn't bear to let his mother's dowry go out, so doing business was imperative.
"Shou Gu, do you really have to use so much money to go to Futing for business? But I heard that there are pirates there, and often pirates attacking the county government and killing people and robbing people. If you pay for it..." Cousin Zhao Zhangru looked at the silver notes that Dou Zhao sorted out, and was even more nervous.
Dou Zhao patted her arm and comforted her: "Don't worry, Duke Ding has already trained an army that can conquer and fight in Futing. The pirates will definitely not be as rampant as before."
"But, I still think it's too risky, and you can't rely on you to show up in public if you want to do business. Besides, Futing is so far away, my uncle won't let you go."
Dou Zhao knew that her cousin was right. She was not only a woman, but also only eight years old. No matter how old affair who had been in the mall for a long time, she would not work with an eight-year-old girl, right?
"It seems that I'm going to find a spokesperson." Dou Zhao thought of his grandmother at the first time. In the Dou family, only her grandmother can be fully trusted, and even her own father cannot do it.
At the same time, Ma Quan walked up to Qin Hao and lowered his voice.
"Your Highness, Dou Zhao has left the mansion."
