Water Moon Pavilion.
Chu Chi and Chu Yanxun sat quietly in the pavilion, eating pastries and drinking fragrant Hundred Flowers Wine while admiring the lake scenery not far away.
"His Majesty's messenger has come and wants you to make a trip to the capital.”Chu Yanxun said.
"I know. It's for political marriage.”Chu Chi said casually.
Chu Yanxun looked at Chu Chi meaningfully and said,""Looks like you already know. I told the messenger that the new year is in three or four months, so you can go after the new year.”
"Understood. I'm ready." Chu Chi nodded.”
"That's good." Chu Yanxun took a sip of wine." Be careful when you go to the capital this time. It's not very peaceful there.”
"I'm going on a blind date. What can happen?”
Chu Yanxun said," That's true. After you enter the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back so soon. His Majesty's health is not as good as before. You're also the heir of the Northern Liang. There will always be people who will come looking for you."”
Chu Chi was silent for a moment, then said,"Your Majesty's body is not good?" I heard that His Majesty hasn't appointed the Crown Prince yet?”
"Yes." Chu Yanxun looked at the lake and said leisurely,""Logically speaking, the Crown Prince should be the First Prince Xiao Yu. However, His Majesty seems to admire the Second Prince Xiao Zhen more, so he has yet to make up his mind.”
"Xiao Zhen?" Chu Chi was a little curious. He was not too clear about these things.
Chu Yanxun said," It is said that the Second Prince Xiao Zhen is quite wise. He is highly respected by many officials in the court and is also famous among the scholars.”
"What about the First Prince?"
"The First Prince Xiao Yu's methods are unyielding. I've heard that he has the demeanor of a tyrant. He has a high prestige in the army and does things as he pleases.”
"Whoa, two tigers fighting." A playful smile appeared on Chu Chi's face." The First Prince is tough and overbearing. The Second Prince has a virtuous and elegant reputation, but his style is completely opposite.”
" It doesn't matter if it's overbearing or virtuous," Chu Yanxun said lightly." You'll know when you see it with your own eyes."”
"Hmm? Father, there's a hidden meaning in your words."
"Hehe, human nature is the most complicated. I'll just give you a simple explanation first. It's fine as long as you have a rough idea in your heart. Before you've seen a person with your own eyes, it's not enough to just rely on hearsay.”
After saying that, Chu Yanxun picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth. He continued,""There's another person you should pay attention to. The fourth prince, Xiao Qian. Although he's only twelve years old, from what I know, he seems to have a force behind him.”
"Twelve years old? Then what kind of person was this Fourth Prince Xiao Qian?”Chu Chi asked.
Chu Yanxun said,"He walks birds and fights dogs. He's a hedonistic son. He's kind to others. He has a lot of money."”
"Uh, this doesn't sound like someone who can fight for the throne.”Chu Chi said speechlessly.
Chu Yanxun said unhappily," We're not talking about the fight for the throne. We're just letting you know that there's such a person. There's no harm in paying more attention to him."”
"Then you just said that there is a force behind him."
"I'm just letting you know. As for whether the Fourth Prince is fighting for the throne, I don't know. After all, I've seen it with my own eyes and don't know what kind of person he is.”
"Oh ~" Chu Chi curled his lips and asked,""Then is there any other prince that I should pay attention to?”
"No, the fifth prince is only ten years old, and the sixth princess is only six years old.”Chu Yan sought the path.
Chu Chi nodded." I see. However, it's not good for us to get involved in the fight for the throne. We'll think of a way to deal with it when the time comes."”
Chu Yanxun said lightly," You can handle these things yourself when the time comes. You don't have to worry too much. After all, His Majesty and I are not dead yet." In addition, you have to pay attention to a few people. Other than His Majesty, the eight strongest kings in the world.”
"Eight kings?" "Aren't the princes in their own fiefs? I'm going to the capital. They can't possibly come to the capital to mess with me, can they?" Chu Chi asked curiously. Could it be that you have some grudge with the eight princes?”
"No grudges." Chu Yanxun said," However, as the strongest kings in the world, you still have to pay more attention. Moreover, there are some who are not very obedient among them. You should be careful.”
"Hiss-" Chu Chi felt that his head was a little big. It would take some effort to sort out these complicated forces.
Chu Chi rubbed his head and put aside these questions for the time being. He said to Chu Yanxun,""Oh right, Father, I want to ask you for a favor.”
Chu Yanxun glanced at Chu Chi and said indifferently,""What do you need our help with?"
"I have a few talents under me. It's too wasteful to waste them here. I plan to ask Father to arrange something for them to do.”Chu Chi said with a smile.
"Hmph, you brat, you know how to arrange people now.”Chu Yanxun said," Bring your people and let us meet them one day. If they are really capable, we won't treat them unfairly."”
"Then I'll thank you on their behalf.”Chu Chi hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Chu Yanxun and respectfully handed it over.
"Brat, is there anything else? If you have nothing else to do, get lost and burn incense in front of your mother's memorial tablet.”
"Yes, your son."
