Xu Liang's words made Brother Zheng frown.
"You guys are so big, yet you can't even watch over a three-year-old child?" he said angrily.”
Xu Liang hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Brother Zheng.
He was also suffering.
Your Majesty, you really don't know how much trouble the Little Lord can do!
"What did that kid do this time?" Wang Jian asked with a smile at the side.”
These words gave him a way out. How could Xu Liang not know how to take advantage of the situation?
He quickly explained Zhao Yan's actions in detail.
After hearing Xu Liang pour out his grievances, Brother Zheng and Wang Jian looked at each other.
"This is really…"
When Wang Jian spoke up to this point, he bitterly smiled and shook his head.
Brother Zheng was furious." Why is this child so worrisome? He's so young. What if something happens to him…"
Wang Jian looked at Brother Zheng in surprise and asked,"Your Majesty, do you really think so?"
"Your Majesty, don't forget that Zhao Yan is not an ordinary child!”
Brother Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head.
That's right. Which three-year-old brat could have such strong combat strength to press an adult to the ground and hammer him?
If it were any other child, it might be a dangerous move to go up to the roof and take off the tiles, but it was not a problem for Zhao Yan.
At this moment, Wang Jian sighed and said,"Previously, that kid was all alone, and his main focus was on how to survive every day. Even when he was in Xianyang, he was busy with many things and did not live a peaceful life.”
"Now that he has come to the palace, he finally has a stable environment. The nature that should have belonged to that age has been completely released. Climbing a tree on a wall was what people at his age should be doing.”
Brother Zheng was stunned. Suddenly, he felt a little sad.
Only now did he realize that he had always treated Zhao Yan as a small adult in his heart.
Although this kid was occasionally naughty, he was extremely intelligent and very reasonable.
When he encountered problems, he had the calmness and wit that ordinary three-year-olds did not have.
However, wasn't the little adult a kind of sorrow?
No matter how intelligent a child was, they were playful by nature.
The main reason why a child could become a small adult was that his parents did not fulfill their responsibilities.
Because he knew that he had no one to rely on, he had to go through all kinds of training to force himself to become stronger.
Only in this way could he survive.
After understanding this, Brother Zheng suddenly felt relieved.
Climbing trees was a part of Zhao Yan's childhood. How could she blame him?
On the contrary, Brother Zheng was very happy that Zhao Yan could act like a real child.
Wasn't this the responsibility of a father?
Of course, playing and making a scene was one thing, but he didn't want these poor maids and servants to be afraid.
Thinking of this, Brother Zheng said to Xu Liang,""You don't need to care about how Young Master Yan plays, you just need to follow him and don't worry about his safety.”
Xu Liang felt as if he had been pardoned.
To be honest, this was the first time he had met Zhao Yan. It would be nonsense to say that he had a deep master-servant relationship.
The group of them was scared half to death. Wasn't it because they were afraid that Zhao Yan would cause trouble? If something happened, they would be killed.
Since Brother Zheng had spoken, the problem they were worried about no longer existed.
This time, everyone was happy!
While Zhao Yan was fooling around and collecting rewards.
Outside the palace, in Fu Su's mansion in Xianyang City.
Bai Chen and the two Xi Clan elders walked out with desolate expressions.
Due to a moment of carelessness, he wanted to suppress the World Bookstore, but he did not expect to kick a metal plate and actually provoke Brother Zheng's youngest son.
These few days, the Western and White Clans had been living extremely hard.
For the next few days, the Black Ice Platform went out on a large scale and captured all the silkpants who caused trouble in the World Bookstore.
As the leaders of the trouble, the Western and White Clans were the first to bear the brunt. Almost all the young disciples in the clan were captured.
Recently, the prison in Xianyang City was overcrowded.
Brother Zheng captured these people, but he didn't punish them, but he didn't let them go either.
This made him bald!
Kill or cut, you have to give me a definite answer.
Bai Chen and the others knew clearly in their hearts that it was impossible for Brother Zheng to really punish so many people.
But just hanging on like this, he really didn't feel confident.
While the Black Ice Platform was taking action, the Western and White Races were also moving up and down, trying to build a good relationship.
Yesterday, they had managed to get in touch with Young Master Fusu through an official they were familiar with.
Previously, with the help of Zhao Gao, Li Si, and the others, Huhai was able to form a slight resistance with Fu Su in court.
Ever since Huhai, Fusu had become the most powerful family among all the young masters.
Many of the officials who had been wavering before had sided with Fu Su.
However, Young Master Fu Suyuan was training at the border.
Now, Fu Su's spokesperson in Xianyang was his mother, Concubine Xiong.
Xiong Ji came from the royal family of Chu State and was gentle. In addition, she gave birth to her eldest son, Fusu, so she was quite doted on by Brother Zheng.
Bai Chen and the rest originally planned on finding Xiong Ji to whisper in Brother Zheng's ears. Even if they did not directly release the two clans 'disciples, they would at least give a definite word about what he wanted.
However, when they came to Fu Su's residence to visit Lady Bear today, the result they received was not good.
Although Lady Bear didn't say it directly, the meaning behind her words was very clear.
Zhao Yan, this young master, was now Brother Zheng's favorite.
The two races were blind and provoked Zhao Yan.
Now that Brother Zheng was in a fit of anger, even she couldn't say anything casually.
"Humph, Fusu has already achieved great things. He cherishes his feathers very much and no longer wants to be on good terms with people like us. What Lady Xiong said today was simply treating us as worn shoes. What a great humiliation!”
An elder from the Xi Clan said angrily as he boarded the carriage.
Bai Chen glanced at the other party and ignored him.
Wasn't this obvious?
If he were in Fu Su's position, he would not dare to make any strange movements and make Brother Zheng unhappy.
In everyone's eyes, Huhai was already dead. As long as Fu Su followed the rules and did not cause any trouble, his position as Crown Prince would be secure.
In this situation where he could win without moving, Fu Su would naturally choose to avoid trouble.
The current Fu Su was already close to thirty years old. He was no longer the hot-blooded youth who had been fooled by the scholarly faction.
At the very least, he knew that if he wanted to change Great Qin, he had to at least take that position.
He did not have the power to make the decision. Anything he said was useless!
"What should we do next?" Another elder of the Xi Family asked.
Bai Chen pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said," Go find Gongzi Tangqiao!"
Gongzi Tang Qiao was one of the eighteen sons of the Ancestral Dragon who was not very eye-catching.
He couldn't compare to Fu Su's reputation, and he wasn't as doted on by Brother Zheng as Huhai.
He wasn't even as smart as Young Master Gao and the famous Young Master Jiang Lu, who were recognized by the officials.
However, that was then.
His mother, Wang Zhi, was currently Brother Zheng's favorite concubine.
After the death of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.
The officials who had tried to cling onto Huhai had nowhere to go.
Those who were willing to follow Huhai showed how capable they were.
They wanted to seek refuge with Fu Su, but he did not want them.
However, after hugging someone's thigh, it was no different from being labeled.
With Huhai's death, these people were naturally anxious in the imperial court. They just wanted to find someone to rely on as soon as possible.
At this moment, Young Master Tang Qiao opened the door and these people immediately rushed over.
When the Xi clan elder heard Bai Chen's suggestion, he said somewhat hesitantly,""Recently, Gongzi Tangqiao has been a little arrogant and seems to have the intention of fighting for the position of Crown Prince. If he asked for his help, wouldn't the West and White Clans join him?”
Bai Chen smiled and said," Why? Do you think that Gongzi Tang Qiao has no chance of winning?”
The elder lowered his head and pondered. Suddenly, his brows relaxed.
"What do you mean?"
Bai Chen nodded and said," Young Master Fusu's wings are already full. There's no need to borrow the strength of the Western and White Clans. But Gongzi Tang Qiao was different. The Emperor favored Wang Zhi, so Gongzi Tang Qiao might have a chance. In my opinion, his chances are not small.”
In Great Qin, there were two Wang clans that were most famous.
One of them was Wang Jian's Wang Clan of Pinyang, which had two Marquises and was one of Great Qin's top nobles.
The other was the Langya Wang family.
The patriarch of the Langya Wang family was the current head of the court, the Right Prime Minister, Wang Wan.
Wang Zhi was Wang Wan's niece.
At least, from the perspective of the power behind it.
Wang Zhi was much stronger than Fu Su's mother, Xiong Ji.
Xiong Ji came from the Chu Country's imperial clan, but the Chu Country had already been destroyed. She no longer had a family to rely on.
However, Wang Zhi was backed by the Wang family of Langya and was also favored by Brother Zheng.
From this point of view, Gongzi Tangqiao did not just have a chance.
The chances were simply too great!
The news from the palace said that Wang Zhi had the intention to encourage Brother Zheng to make her the empress.
If this matter could really succeed, then Gongzi Tang Qiao would be the legitimate eldest son, and becoming the Crown Prince would also be a matter of course.
The two elders of the Xi Clan could not help but become excited at the thought of this.
Bai Chen said with wisdom in his grasp," The Western and White races are noble families that have stood tall in Great Qin for hundreds of years. If we take the initiative to come to our door, how can Gongzi Tangqiao reject this powerful alliance? Needless to say, it was easier for Wang Zhi to talk to the Emperor. Looking for Lady Bear was actually the worst solution!”
After the three of them finished their discussion, they drove the carriage towards Gongzi Tang Qiao's mansion in Xianyang.
When they arrived at Tang Qiao's residence, the sky had already gradually darkened.
Looking from afar, one could see the entrance of the mansion decorated with lanterns and streamers, and people coming and going.
Bai Chen and the other two got out of the car.
"Guan Gongzi's mansion is actually as grand as Huhai's mansion!”
An elder of the Xi Family sighed as he looked at the scene before him.
Back then, Huhai had been doted on by Brother Zheng, and he had brought him along with him every time he went on a patrol.
But when he wasn't going out, Huhai would stay in the mansion to entertain guests.
The officials of the imperial court who were under Huhai's tutelage had all been freeloading at his house.
As time passed, under the encouragement of some people, Huhai's reputation became like that of the four young masters of the Warring States Period. He had a good reputation for recruiting talents.
Of course, everyone knew that only Huhai could do something like this.
If it was any other young master, even Fusu, who dared to entertain the officials all day long, he would have been impeached long ago.
Huhai relied on Brother Zheng's favor to quickly recruit a large number of fans by treating them to food and drinks.
Now, Young Master Tang Qiao had learned from him and was doing it very well.
The three of them stepped forward. Just as they reached the door, they were stopped by two gatekeepers.
"Stop? What do you do?"
A gatekeeper's tone was extremely arrogant. He clearly saw Bai Chen trio wearing silk clothes and actually did not take them seriously.
"We are from the West and White Clans. Today, we have come to pay a visit to Young Master Tang Qiao!”
Bai Chen forcefully suppressed his anger and said.
Another gatekeeper looked at the three of them from the corner of his eyes and said,"Do you have an invitation?"
"You still need an invitation?" An elder of the Xi Family said in surprise.
"Ha, this is the Young Master's Mansion, not some random Tom, Dick, or Harry can come here as they please. Without an invitation card, who knows if you are here to freeload or to visit the young master?”
Hearing these words, Bai Chen trio were so angry that their entire bodies trembled.
However, they had a favor to ask of others, so they were unwilling to leave just like that.
Bai Chen walked forward and pulled out a few half-taels of money from his sleeve, sending it into the sleeve of a gatekeeper.
"We really have something important to visit Young Master. Please inform him!”
The gatekeeper shook his sleeves and snorted coldly,""Wait!"
With that, he turned his head and walked inside unsteadily. As he walked, he muttered.
"Greetings, Young Master. You didn't even prepare a gift. The Western and White Clans were really going back in time!”
These words made Bai Chen trio's faces turn red from anger, and their necks immediately thickened.
After waiting for a full fifteen minutes, they heard a surprised voice coming from the door.
"Esteemed guest, Tang Qiao, please forgive me for not welcoming you!”
He saw a handsome young man with a pale face and no beard walk out quickly with a reek of alcohol.
When he reached the door, he raised his leg and kicked the gatekeeper who was guarding the door.
"You fool, I asked you to guard the door, but you even refused to let the honored guests in. What use do you have for these eyes?”
As soon as he said this, the two gatekeepers were so scared that they fell to the ground and trembled.
Bai Chen spoke up and said," Those who don't know are not guilty. These two people are also dutifully fulfilling their duties. Young Master better not punish them. It's our fault. We didn't have much contact with Young Master before, so it's only right that they don't know each other!”
Tang Qiao laughed out loud and walked up. She held Bai Chen's arm very familiarly.
"We should interact more in the future. Let's go, the three of you, quickly follow me in!"
After entering the door, they arrived at the main hall where guests were received.
The three of them sat down.
Bai Chen did not waste any words and directly stated his intention.
Tang Qiao closed her eyes and pondered.
Tang Qiao was naturally very clear about the recent situation of the Western and White Clans.
At this moment, he was weighing whether it was worth it to help the two races.
Don't look at Tang Qiao's appearance, she seemed like a good-for-nothing.
However, he was Brother Zheng's son after all. How bad could he be?
Just like Bai Chen guessed, Tang Qiao indeed had covetous intentions towards the position of Crown Prince.
Now that Huhai was dead, Fusu's family was the most powerful.
Her mother, Wang Zhi, was deeply doted on by Brother Zheng. In Tang Qiao's opinion, she might not be without the power to compete.
He had been so active recently because he was planning this.
