Chapter 1227
"No, I want to ask you, would it be better if I marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Hearing Fu Qiu's words, Master Zheng's eyes narrowed, and then his eyelids gradually narrowed.
Now he finally understood that Fu Qiu came to him not because he had doubts about this matter, but because he already had the answer.
She came to ask me not to ask me to help her make a decision, but just to confirm whether the answer in her heart was correct.
So after Fu Qiu finished speaking, Master Zheng was silent for a moment before speaking:
"You want to repay the young master in this way?"
"Yes!"
Fu Qiu had no intention of hiding anything and immediately expressed his true thoughts.
"I know, even if I practice martial arts to be as powerful as Brother Shen Lin, it will be useless. The young master has no shortage of guards around him."
"I can't help you, young master, and I have no way to repay you. And I've been studying those science books very hard."
"But no matter how hard I try..."
Fu Qiu stopped talking here, but Master Zheng also understood what she meant.
Seeing the slightly depressed look on Fu Qiu's face, Master Zheng pondered for a moment and then said:
"You should know that the young master doesn't want you to choose this path because of him, even if it is your own decision."
"The young master will also be angry because I knew about it but didn't report it. When that happens, I'm afraid I will inevitably be scolded or punished!"
Hearing this, Fu Qiu slowly shook his head and said:
"No one knows I'm here, and the young master won't realize that I chose to do this because of him. Besides, I don't hate the Crown Prince."
Fu Qiu had the confidence to say this, because she had used this method to hide the truth from her mother in Japan.
Looking at Fu Qiu's determined expression, Master Zheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then slowly said:
"From the perspective of interests, your choice is indeed correct. The young master now has a close relationship with His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"But this doesn't mean we can maintain the same relationship with the third-generation emperor, because the young master is the elder of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"At the same time, the young master's contribution to the Ming Dynasty is too great. There's no guarantee that when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he won't be wary and suspicious of him."
Master Zheng did not know Wei Wu's origins, so his guesses were based on normal thinking.
The existence of a person who led the development of the Ming Dynasty, had a very high status and was also the emperor's elder, isn't this a perfect template of Wang Mang!
Any emperor would become suspicious when faced with such a person, so Master Zheng's inference is logical.
But the fact is that Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang would guide Zhu Xiongying well during his growth.
When he reaches a certain age, he will tell Zhu Xiongying about Wei Wu and let him understand the importance of Wei Wu.
Moreover, the Zhu family has always known that Wei Wu is lazy and has no interest in officialdom. That is really no interest at all.
He was already the Duke of Zhenguo, but he didn't even have a real official position, and he didn't even want one offered to him.
Therefore, although Master Zheng’s speculation is possible, the probability of it actually happening is extremely low.
Of course, neither Fu Qiu nor Zheng Shiye knew how important Wei Wu was to the Ming Dynasty.
People cannot earn money beyond their own cognition. Similarly, people cannot make inferences about things beyond their cognition.
Therefore, after listening to the conclusion drawn by Master Zheng based on his own knowledge, Fu Qiu did think it made sense.
While Fu Qiu was listening silently, Master Zheng continued to give his suggestions.
"Xiao Qiu, if the Crown Prince really likes you and is willing to marry you as his principal wife, then you will definitely be the Empress of the Ming Dynasty in the future."
"And your existence happens to be a trump card that can protect the young master, if you really want to protect the young master!"
Hearing what Master Zheng said, Fu Qiu's face immediately showed anger, and he stared at Master Zheng with cold eyes.
