CHAPTER XVIII
The rumors of the dispute between the princes became tighter and tighter, and Erlang simply stopped returning to the palace, and only lived in the Ciqiu Palace with peace of mind.
Here live the people closest to him, and it is supposed to be the people who care most about whether he can win the crown prince, but in fact, this place is the most peaceful.
Whether it is his mother or sister, they don't say anything about the position of the crown prince, what they should do every day, and what they are still busy doing.
After a long time, even Erlang wondered whether they were too indifferent, or he was too greedy.
- Although he was young, he had hopes for the crown prince. Of course, it doesn't mean that he has to be a person, but he feels that he can do it regardless of character or talent. Even if he didn't fight, it was because of the order of the eldest and youngest, not because he was inferior to his brother.
Of course, although his mind is different, his approach is the same as that of his mother and sister. That is, indisputable. At least not to fight head-on.
Because even if you fight head-on, you will definitely not be able to fight.
Chang and Xian, sound and power are all on the side of the eldest prince, the time and place are favorable, and Erlang only occupies half of the harmony - the Son of Heaven is inclined to him. But in the face of the unanimous will of almost the entire Shilin, the selfish love of the Son of Heaven can be sacrificed at any time.
And Yiqiē is inferior only because he was born seven years late.
It's a disadvantage to be late. Jiro thought calmly.
Ruyi still goes to school every day, and when he comes back, he concentrates on his homework.
Erlang saw that she was full and busy, and he could also feel that the two sisters and brothers were gradually parting ways.
When I really minded, I simply asked her directly, "Who do you want to be the prince?" ”
Of course, Ruyi also knows about the recent events in the DPRK and China. Not only did she know, but she also participated in the discussion - because the doctors in Guozi also had their own political opinions, Confucian scholars of course had to stand on the side of changing their names and being more in line with the rules and regulations, and their status was not enough to participate in court debates, but they could let students express their opinions by telling stories about Zuo Chuan, ancient rituals, and sages in the lecture hall, and also implicitly imparting their political opinions and Taoism to students.
Ruyi has already learned a lot of stories, especially the stories in Zuo Chuan are all about the monarch's support for his favorite concubine and his son to seize the throne and chaos in the government, resulting in brothers competing for the throne and the country in turmoil. The doctors specially chose this time to say what these stories meant, and Ruyi knew very well in his heart.
In fact, she has read many classic books and stories, and in terms of knowledge, she can be regarded as a child of Confucianism and history. She has her own ideas and opinions. What's more, born in the imperial family, many doctors of scripture can only analyze and imagine things through the brushstrokes of guò historians, which are the details that are commonplace in her daily life. She can jump out of the story itself and see the more complex contradictions behind the story. Therefore, although she is a child of Confucianism, she will not be led by her husband.
What's more, Vimo is her half-brother, and Erlang is her half-brother. Which one is her relative.
Hearing Erlang's question at this moment, she stopped her pen and looked at Erlang seriously, and said, "It doesn't matter who should be, as long as you and Brother Vimo can be safe." ”
Jiro has eyes and ears in the country, and of course he knows what the doctors have instilled in his sister lately. Hearing Ruyi say this, she knows that at least she is not brainwashed by the "morality" of the doctors.
But when I heard her innocence, I still couldn't help but ask, "What if my eldest brother can't tolerate me in the future?" ”
"Then I'll fight for a way out with you." Ruyi said. In her opinion, Brother Evimo's heart is soft-hearted, and he must not be "unable to tolerate" Erlang. But the reverse is not necessarily the case. Of course, it will not be very pleasant to be chased and forced to talk. Ruyi retorted, "Since you ask so, you must have foreseen who the winner is." ”
Erlang also felt that his question was too substandard-could he still give the rest of the answer? However, she actually cross-examined him, which was really unexpected.
Jiro was also concise, "Yes." ”
In the battle of the princes, unless Vimo is suddenly diagnosed with a serious disease, it is Vimo who wins the ten* victory. But over time, as long as the Son of Heaven is safe, as he gets older and more experienced, his advantage will only increase.
Of course, he won't take the initiative to say this to Ruyi. Ruyi doesn't like to hear it - it's not specifically for the crown prince, Ruyi doesn't like the "scramble" itself.
Ruyi looked at him, she sat and Erlang stood, because it was clear that she was taller than Erlang, but at this time Erlang looked down on her slightly. He is as always, with insight and foresight that does not fit his age, and of course, he also has a domineering and fearless nature that is very appropriate for his age. This singular quality makes him full of convincing charm.
For his age, he is wise and almost demonic.
After Ruyi entered the kindergarten, she came into contact with children of the same age every day. She could already see the difference between herself and her peers. It's not that she's smarter, it's that she's more precocious. Maybe it's because of the growth environment, she always can't help but think more and farther than others. Although he can think openly, he is actually more sensitive and sensitive than others.
And Jiro is obviously different from his peers outside.
Ruyi suddenly felt that it was too inauspicious for them to discuss such a serious matter at such a young age, and it was difficult to have a good situation.
She swallowed all the words, raised her hand like a big child bullying a child, and rubbed Erlang's head indiscriminately.
Erlang covered the top of his head with his dissatisfied hands to dodge, and protested, "Don't treat me like a child!" ”
Ruyi immediately felt that this was the smell - this was much more comfortable and normal.
