Just as King Qing was still arguing with the prince, Dou Shiying walked out of the hall with a book in his hand.

King Qing then returned to his seat with an unexpected expression.

Qin Hao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw Dou Shiying clearly glance at him, then cleared his throat: "I won't talk about the Spring and Autumn Period today. I will tell you about the three high men."

"The heart is originally empty, and there is no trace of things. If you have any key points to control it, you will be treated as it. If you block it in front of it, you will move it in the middle. If you control it outside, you will be at peace with it inside. If you restrain yourself and return to rituals, you will be sincere in the long run..."

"Your Highness, how do you interpret this sentence?"

Qin Hao rolled his eyes secretly, OK, this old man is here to him.

This is actually the interpretation of Cheng Yi, a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, to the Analects: "The Master said: Do not look at it if it is not polite, do not listen if it is not polite, do not speak if it is not polite, and do not move if it is not polite. Yan Yuan said: Even if he is not sensitive, please speak this way."

King Qing was gloating and winking at Qin Hao, while the prince sat upright, looking like a good student.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Hao said seriously: "Sir, Lao Tzu said: The great way is abandoned, there is benevolence and righteousness, wisdom comes out, and there is great falsehood. In other words, the ritual system is the 'remediation' after moral degeneration. Emphasizing excessive adherence to the 'inappropriate' norms will lead to hypocrisy."

"Students think that self-restraint and regaining etiquette is just a deception. If a person blindly avoids his own desires, he will one day be tempted by external desires. We should learn how to face the desires in our hearts and then overcome them."

Dou Shiying was so angry that she blew her beard and glared: "Your Highness is careful of his words, this is a blasphemy to his ancestors."

Poor Mr. Hao, who doesn't dare to say anything except class, is already angry now. I don't know if Qin Hao's remarks are too distorted or are he holding on to his daughter.

The prince also stood up and retorted with a serious face: "The ninth brother's words are very wrong. Restraining oneself and restoring etiquette is the gentleman's code of conduct for himself. As the royal family, you and I should be strict with ourselves and set an example in the world."

King Qing also stood up: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is too naive. Those sour scholars make our royal family restrain themselves and restore rituals every day, but they are all arrogant and extravagant in private. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Seeing that the prince and King Qing were confronting each other again, Dou Shiying couldn't help but regret that if he had known this, he would have had a private talk with the King of Qin.

After finally arguing with Prince Qing, Dou Shiying quickly changed the subject and talked back to the Spring and Autumn Period. A farce ended temporarily.

After class, Dou Shiying followed Qin Hao and walked to an uninhabited pavilion, then stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Highness, my little girl Dou Zhao was spoiled by me since I was a child. She was simple in her mind and only hoped to live her life safely. But now there are rumors in the capital. Your Highness is extremely noble, and she really can't stand it. I hope your Highness can come forward to calm these rumors. Don't let the little girl be troubled by these gossips for no reason."

Qin Hao smiled: "Mr. said he had been pampering his junior sister since he was a child, but I'm afraid that the junior sister did not feel much fatherly love?"

Dou Shiying was about to refute, and Qin Hao said first: "If sir, if he really treats his junior sister like treasures, how can he not know that she doesn't want to marry the prince of Jining?"

"You...How did your highness know that Shou Gu doesn't want to marry the prince of Jining Hou?" Dou Shiying was shocked.

"Sir, you will know the truth when you go home and ask."

After Qin Hao finished speaking, he spread the folding fan in his hand and left, leaving Dou Shiying in the wind.

Just as Qin Hao was about to return to his home, he suddenly stopped and when Ma Quanzheng was confused, a sound of footsteps came from behind him.

"Ninth brother, if you have time tonight, you might as well come to the Fourth Brother's mansion to sit. We brothers haven't had a long talk for a long time."

King Qing walked to Qin Hao with a smile.

Qin Hao smiled: "I have heard that the Fourth Brother's mansion is magnificent, and I have longed for it."

"Haha, the fourth brother just swept the bed to greet him."

"I will definitely attend the banquet on time."

After King Qing left, the smile on Qin Hao's face gradually disappeared. It was obvious that Queen Wan was trying to win him over. If he was not tactful, Queen Wan would definitely try his best to get rid of him.

Judging from the overall plot, King Qing is just a puppet of Queen Wan, and this old witch wants to be the second most important thing in Wu Zetian.

That night, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful lights, and it was very lively. The gardens in the palace were filled with delicious food, the sound of silk and bamboo was pleasant, and the dancers were graceful.

"Your Highness of the King of Qin."

"See Your Highness Qing."

The arrival of Qin Hao and King Qing brought the banquet to a climax. A group of nobles frequently toasted the two. Of course, considering that Qin Hao was only nine years old, he was drinking a drink.

"Duke Lu, Duke of England, Marquis of Chang'an, Marquis of Zhongyong... Are you starting to show your strength now?" Qin Hao looked at the ugly look of the nobles who were hugging each other, and sneered in his heart.

King Qing put his hand on Qin Hao's arm without hesitation, and after approaching, he lowered his voice: "Ninth Brother, you have seen how the prince treats our brothers on weekdays. To be honest, you said that what I hate the most is his pretentious and arrogant look, and he always holds an air, thinking that the world is the only one he..."

"Fourth brother, be careful." Qin Hao looked at his left and right with a pretentious attitude.

King Qing laughed and waved his hand to Qin Hao: "Don't worry, brother Ninth, those who can come to the banquet today are all our people, and no one will reveal it."

"I'll feel relieved if I do this." Qin Hao pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that King Qing was still waiting for him to express his opinion, Qin Hao sneered in his heart, but his face was still filled with a passionate smile. He said quietly: "The fourth brother values ​​me so much and has high hopes for me. However, in this court, all forces are mixed and intertwined, like a complex net, touching the whole body. If you are not careful, you may fall into a state of doom and no longer have a day to turn over. This matter needs to be discussed for a long time and thought carefully. Don't act too quickly to avoid failure."

"Haha, the Ninth Brother has always been cautious in his actions. I understand, I understand." King Qing smiled all over his face, but in fact he was disdainful. If his father had not suddenly made him the King of Qin, he would not have known that he had such a cheap brother. When he was to ascend to the great treasure in the future, the first one would be to kill the prince, and the second one would be this Ninth Brother. Anyone who hindered him from becoming the emperor would die.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The ninth brother is meticulous, considers it thoroughly, and thinks for a long time. But the fourth brother still said the same thing, as long as we brothers work together, think in one direction and work in one direction, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

“That’s, that’s.”

At the same time, in the study of the East Palace, the prince was sitting on a chair in the study, copying the copybook.

The princess frowned slightly, frowned slightly, looked at the prince with a worried look, and said softly: "Your Highness, now my ninth brother is deeply loved by my father and has been named King of Qin. King Qing has held a banquet in the mansion today. We might as well hold a banquet to entertain you tomorrow. If you have more help, it will be beneficial and harmless, and it will also provide more guarantees for your future inheritance of the Grand Principle."

The Crown Princess's voice was gentle and gentle, but with some eagerness and expectation. She knew the subtleties and complexity of the situation in the court. Although her husband was the crown prince of the dynasty, the queen was the biological mother of King Qing. Who would not want her biological son to ascend the throne?

When the prince heard this, he didn't care: "I am the father-in-law who has appointed the crown prince. I have worked hard and never made any mistakes over the years. My father will never have the intention to depose the crown prince. Whether it is King Qing or Queen, it is just a delusion."

The Crown Princess was speechless. She didn't know whether her husband was confident or pedantic. That was the throne. How many people fought against the same family for the throne? He felt that as long as he did not make mistakes, he could succeed to the throne.

The Crown Princess sighed helplessly, and still persuaded him unwillingly: "Your Highness, as the crown prince, you are responsible for the country and the country. Every move is related to the people of the world. The overall situation should be the first priority in everything and should not act voluntarily. Now the situation in the court is turbulent and unpredictable. If one more ally, you will have a more chance of winning. I hope your Highness will think twice."

"It's enough, I have my own sense of responsibility. You don't need a woman to point fingers here." The prince paused the brush in his hand, frowned and shouted.

The princess was so angry that she stepped forward and pulled the brush from his hand down and threw it on the scroll.

"Are you crazy?"

"Hmph, I'm just crazy. Don't come to my room tonight. I'm in a state of discomfort! I may hurt the prince's body when I start crazy."

Looking at the princess's back as he left, the prince was helpless. Who made this his first wife? It was only after he got married to this first wife that he was made the crown prince.

...

On the other hand, Dou Zhao was also preparing to run away. On the one hand, to avoid the messy rumors in the capital, she crushed people under her tongue. She didn't care, but the people around her were inevitably affected. On the other hand, the business on Futing was just starting, and she also needed to keep an eye on it.

This time she invested all her cash and bought several large ships worth 5,000 yuan. Once something goes wrong, she will be in trouble. Wang Yingxue will definitely take the opportunity to ask her to hand over the housekeeper's right.

As soon as Dou Shiying came back, she saw her daughter getting dressed and was stunned.

"Shou Gu, you are..."

"Oh, Dad is back, and the child is planning to wait for you to come back and say goodbye to you."

"bid farewell?"

Dou Zhao told him about going to Futing, and Dou Shiying was shocked when he heard this.

"Pirates from Futing are rampant. How can you, a girl, go to that place of tigers and wolfs?"

"Dad don't worry, Duke Ding has already achieved results in his efforts to clear the pirates for many years. At least it can be guaranteed in Futing City." Dou Zhao patiently persuaded.

Dou Shiying still refused to let go: "That doesn't necessarily mean you go, just send a few capable butlers."

"Dad, which of these housekeepers in the family is something you think you can feel completely relieved?" Dou Zhao did not rush to refute, but asked back.

"This..." Dou Shiying has been devoted to reading sages since he was a child. To put it nicely, it is called "the seeds of reading, but to put it ugly, it is a nerd, so he didn't know these things.

Dou Zhao said slowly: "Father, this business is extraordinary. In addition to the family's savings, there is also the investment of His Highness King Qin. If you fail, you will never have the chance to cooperate with His Highness King Qin again."

"Hmph, it's just right if you don't cooperate. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been criticized." Dou Shiying snorted lightly.

Dou Zhao then understood why Dou Shiying's expression was obviously wrong when he mentioned the King of Qin, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Dad, why are you still acting like a child? If you don't have the signature of Your Highness, the Frosting Tang business at home would definitely not be able to do it, and the promotion of the fifth uncle would not be so smooth."

Dou Shiying said ashamed, "It's just that my long-lasting aunt has suffered. She has to run around and take care of her cheap karma at such a young age."

"Dad, I never thought that doing business is a cheap business. Business people communicate with each other. The so-called "no farming is not stable, no work is not rich, no business is not alive..."

Dou Shiying was having a headache when she listened to her daughter's "rebellious" remarks: "Forget it, let's let you."

"It's okay to go out and avoid the limelight."

After Dou Zhao packed up the fineness and softness, he hurried to Futing. Qin Hao had already greeted the prince of Zhongqin. Dou Zhao's transaction in Futing went smoothly. Master Chen Qushui came forward and soon bought the cargo of five large ships of 5,000 materials. After one and a half months of preparation, he recruited a large number of experienced crew members and set sail from Futing in the monsoon.

Seven months later, all five large ships returned and brought back five ships full of spices, pearls, and gems. As soon as the ship was docked, many merchants were already rushing to buy them, waving silver notes one by one for fear that they would be snatched by others first.

After Chen Qushui's calculations, the profit of this trip was as high as 3 million taels of silver. Of course, it was mainly due to the rampant pirates that Dou Zhao was one of the first maritime merchants to eat crabs.

As long as there is enough profit, capitalists dare to take all risks. When the rest of the maritime merchants saw that the Dou family's merchant ships had to come back with full tails, they all began to try, which once caused the prices of various goods in Futing to rise by as much as 30%, especially porcelain and tea, which rose by half.

However, only a few people are lucky. Many people's ships were robbed by Japanese pirates and pirates before they went to sea. Those who are lucky were released before they died. They were unlucky and were directly cut off their skulls and discarded on some unmanned islands.

For this reason, the Dingguo Army dispatched to clean up the pirates again. Although they occasionally gained something, the pirates were cunning and stopped for half a year after robbing them once. Anyway, the goods they robbed were enough for them to spend for a while.

Seeing that the pirates were rampant again, Duke Jiang Meisun gritted his teeth and ordered the severance of sea trade. Dou Zhao originally wanted to ask the Zhongqin Marquis' Mansion to deal with him, but Jiang Meisun did not buy the Zhongqin Marquis' Mansion's account at all. He had no idea for a moment and could only write a letter to Qin Hao to explain the situation.

"Jiang Meisun, Jiang Meisun, no wonder so many people want you to die."

Qin Hao thought about it and replied to Dou Zhao.

After Dou Zhao returned to the letter, he copied a copy again as described in Qin Hao's letter, and found an opportunity to send it to Song Mo.

Although Song Mo was less than ten years old at this time, he had been promoted from the former leader to the warrior and finally had the qualifications to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. However, Jiang Meisun still used the excuse to leave him in the military camp for training. Song Mo was waiting for the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

The appearance of this letter made Song Mo excited and handed it to Jiang Meisun overnight.

"I'm good at making a plan, but I don't know which expert is the one who came from."
