Bachelor

Chapter 137 It's time to make a choice

The hot stove next to the word fire that Ping Qiuli mentioned refers to the royal children of Emperor Zhengde's generation.For example, Zhengde's name is Zhu Houzhao, and the character "fire" is added next to himself; as for the future Jiajing, he is called Zhu Houcong;

The names of the children of the royal family in the Ming Dynasty were ranked according to the words of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. For example, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Gongyun in Houshi were next to the words wood.The earlier orthodox Emperor Yingzong was called Zhu Qizhen, and it was next to the gold lettering.

He is a bachelor, and if he loses, he loses, and he doesn't procrastinate. He threw the scroll of authentic works on the table, and said that he would not be entangled with this marriage in the future, and then turned around and left.

So, Sun Dan looked at him upside down.

Just now he has made it clear in front of Sun Dan that you, Sun Dan, will assist King Xing's mansion, and I will assist King Jianghua in Pingqiu. Since we can't recover you today, we will have another match in the future. Whether we win or lose, the future will last forever.

With just a few words, Sun Dan was taken aback, and quickly sorted out a clear idea: It turns out that everyone already knows the news that Emperor Zhengde will die soon.Who will win the throne in the future is still unknown.Zhengde has no heirs. Once he dies, he will inevitably choose a suitable person from among the royal children of the same generation to inherit the throne.In this way, any child with the surname Zhu of the thick character generation has a chance.

It seems that it is not Youxing Wangfu who is coveting the throne, even King Jianghua of Qingzhou can't wait to jump out.

If you guessed right, this Ping Qiuli is the counselor of King Jianghua and the host of Qingzhou's overall situation in the capital.This time, he contacted a number of Shanxi merchants to compete with the Lu family's bank on money tickets, so he wanted to use this method to cut off the source of income of Xingwangfu.

These days, if you want to make a difference in the capital, you have to spend a lot of money.Without money, there are no connections.

Looking at Ping Qiuli's handsome back, although Sun Dan was vigilant in his heart, knowing that this person would be his future enemy, he couldn't help but praise him in his heart: "You can afford it, you can let it go, it's a powerful character."

As for the nonsense he said about "within five servings", Sun Dan didn't take it seriously, not to mention that he and Sun Jia didn't have the so-called relationship between men and women at all. In fact, they only regarded her as a cousin, yes A capable general under his command.As far as he was concerned, it was still a matter of confusion as to whether he belonged to the Sun family of the Marquis of Huichang. Even if, from the perspective of a modern person, he and Sun Jia were related by blood, he would not regard this so-called Five servings and six servings are in the eyes.

As a human being, he devoted himself to being an official, so naturally he would not leave people talking about such a major matter of feudal ethics.

As soon as Ping Qiuli left, all the officials in the room sighed: "Qiu Li is also an amazing talent, but it's a pity that he met Sun Dan of the Sun family and was overwhelmed. Today, I was lucky to meet three people at once. A young and talented man, this trip is truly worthwhile!"

Although Sun Henian regretted that Ping Qiuli was defeated by Sun Dan, Sun Dan was still a child of the Sun family, and he was able to show off in front of everyone. As an elder, he also had a bright face. He stroked his beard and smiled and said, "It's just a teenager. , Elders, don’t praise too much, so that it breeds arrogance.”

As for Sun Jia's marriage, Sun Henian wasn't worried either. Since Ping Qiuli wanted to marry the daughter of the Sun family, he would naturally find a matchmaker to hire him after he left.Ping Qiuli lost this match, he is a young man after all, he can't hold back his face, so naturally it's not good to mention this matter now.

"No, I often heard that the Sun family had two talented young men. I saw them today, and it was true. In my opinion, with the talents of Sun Dan and Sun Yue, they will definitely be selected as Jinshi in the future. Sun Yue has his own. Xiao Yang is trained by a bachelor, and his teacher is from a famous family, and he will be famous all over the world in the future."

Sun Henian was even more happy, and said with a smile, "They all said not to praise them anymore." After speaking, he glared at his son and Sun Dan: "It's rare that seniors value you so much, but you should not be arrogant."

"Yes." Sun Dan and Sun Yue had no choice but to bow to each other, humbled for a long time, and waited carefully beside them.

After losing for a while, Sun Yue looked gloomy and remained silent.

As for Sun Dan, considering what Ping Qiuli said just now, he fell into deep thought and didn't speak.

Today, the younger generation of the Sun family has been vaguely divided into two factions.One faction was led by Sun Yue, and the other was led by Sun Dan. Seeing that the two fell silent, they did not dare to speak.

"Since Ping Qiuli has made it clear, the muddy waters of the capital have been involved. Perhaps, from the day I entered the palace to meet Zhengde, I can no longer stay out of it." Sun Dan frowned and thought hard .

Ping Qiuli is a very outstanding talent, he must also regard himself as a smart person.It's actually very simple for a smart person to talk to a smart person, just one click, and it will come to mind.

It is undeniable that Sun Dan had a good impression of Emperor Zhengde.During the period of contact with him, Sun Dan gradually discovered that Emperor Zhengde was not as absurd as the history books said, on the contrary, he was also a monarch with achievements and ambitions.Not only that, this person is also very humane and sincere to himself, a bit like my former classmates in college.The same sunshine, the same enthusiasm, and the same smooth city.

If I become an official in the court in the future, it will be a relaxed and happy thing to work under such a boss.

It's a pity that seeing Zhengde's appearance, he will not have a good life for a few days.

According to the records in the history books, he still has at most three months to live.

It's really embarrassing to watch such a good guy die!
Although Sun Dan is a human being in the second life, because he is young, he has never thought about birth, old age, sickness and death.Hearing Ping Qiuli's mention today, he was astonished to realize that as soon as Emperor Zhengde passed away, the world would undergo earth-shaking changes.Once the new emperor ascends the throne, not only the civil and military officials in the court will undergo a major change of blood, but even such a small person as Sun Dan will be affected.

Especially after he offended Ping Qiuli, once the throne of the emperor fell into the hands of King Jianghua, what awaited him would be an unimaginable situation.

"No way, according to history, Jiajing should be the emperor, but it's not the turn of King Jianghua..."

"However, what if history changes? Just like me, Sun Dan, I shouldn't have appeared in this world. There are money tickets... Butterfly effect... Butterfly effect..."

"I have been inextricably linked with Prince Xing's Mansion. In the eyes of outsiders, I have become the vanguard of Jiajing's struggle for succession... But only Lu Bing and the others know that, in fact, I, Sun Dan, is just a businessman in the Lu family. A partner of mine!"

"Do you really want to invest in Xingwang's mansion and be the hero of Conglong? Maybe it's time to make a choice." Sun Dan gritted his teeth secretly, and he suddenly realized that his days of making soy sauce might be gone forever.

Of course, if you put yourself into Xingwang's mansion naked now, I'm afraid they won't value you too much, so you have to find a suitable opportunity.

After thinking for a long time, the time passed by every minute.

Seeing that it was getting late, the people gathered in the lobby were eager to go home to reunite with their families, so they left one after another.

Only then did Sun Henian let all the children of the Sun family disperse.

Only then did Sun Dan remember that Niang Zhi was still a guest at Sun Jia's place, so she hurried towards the courtyard where Sun Jia lived.
