The prosperity of Shangjing is still the same, and the border pass has not let it much, the prosperity in Shangjing is the joy of people after they have rich food and clothing, and the border pass is the constant hustle and bustle of war.

The eighteen guards were dismantled separately and entered the four border towns in the east, west, north and south in groups of four, and now the sixteen people have been named and put into the army.

Sixteen people belong to the royal guards, and they draw up their names with these four characters, respectively with Huang, Jia, Qing, and Wei as their surnames, and with the names of the rows, Ming Yi is Huang Ming, and so on, in order Jia Xiang, Qing Yu, Wei Si......

Huang Ming and others joined the army with fake identity documents, the four of them all entered the camp with martial arts, and the army also relied on their abilities to win the trust of the soldiers, so as to get the favor of everyone, he could only start from small soldiers at the beginning, step by step to accumulate military merits to climb up, fortunately, there are often foreign invasions at the border passes, and two teams of cavalry will be sent to kill the enemy every few days, so that there is nothing to do.

Just the day before the autumn festival, Mu Haoyu suddenly issued a decree in the early dynasty, this holy decree gave the Manchu Dynasty civil and military a heavy hammer, the ministers were very surprised, this holy decree roughly means that the third prince Mu Jinming, who has reached the age of fourteen in the palace, will be sent to the best academy in Shangjing to study, this holy decree attracted the attention of all the ministers.

Of course, there are those who think about the good and those who think about the bad, of course, the good is not for the third prince, the protagonist of the incident itself, but now the dispute between the two factions in the DPRK and China has intensified, the eldest prince and the second prince, when they heard the content of the holy decree, the two of them were overjoyed, of course, the joy can only be buried in the heart and cannot be expressed, so that people can see that they are not brothers.

The decree is issued, which means that there is no room for turnaround, do you say that you can not make the two happy. The three princes, which is not an obstacle, have been sent out of the palace, doesn't it mean that the emperor does not value the three princes. The most important point is that the opportunity for the three princes to participate in politics in the future has been eliminated, and no one in the court knows that the prince can go to the court to listen to the government after reaching the age of 14. This shows that most people are quite satisfied with this holy decree.

The disadvantage is that some people can't help but wonder if this will be a seemingly simple but effective means for the emperor to protect the three princes. The palace is a big dye vat, anything can happen, especially under the nose, the emperor in order to ensure that the three princes are safe, will make this decision, let the three princes stay away from the danger in the palace, put people in the largest Wenchang Academy in Beijing, that is, you can continue to study, there are the best gentlemen in the academy, and you can make many friends in the academy, and seek more and better contacts for the three princes. There are many children of courtiers and magnates in Wenchang Academy, which is worth some people who are quite confused by the emperor's move, and no one can guess the emperor's true intentions.

If you can't guess, you don't want to speculate, but someone signaled to the officials under him to come forward to submit a request, saying that the three princes are royal blood, how can they enter the folk academy to study, and the palace has its own study room for the prince to study.

Mu Haoyu admired enough of the courtiers playing tricks, and only threw down one sentence: "The third prince is not qualified to study in the study." ”

As soon as this statement was in an uproar, it stirred up a thousand waves, what is called not enough qualifications, that is not a change of direction to say that the three princes can not go to the upper study for the prince to study the things that the prince should learn, including the most important imperial studies, which makes some people simply cheer, the three princes have become the prince who has been exiled by the change, no matter how big and good Wenchang Academy is, it can't learn what should not be learned, which shows that the three princes are excluded, and there will be no place for him in the battle for the throne in the future, For some, it's a pie-in-the-sky thing.

Of course, if you are happy, you have to talk about the matter, so as not to make the emperor suspicious, so that the eldest prince and the second prince have important ministers at both ends to come out and say peace.

The three-prince's four-year-old enlightenment is not that he did not go to the study to read, but he went very little, just because he was ill and has been recuperating, which is obvious to all, and the emperor has not ordered people to teach the three princes to read alone during the recuperation period, although there is a timetable that the emperor personally taught, but I don't want to think about how the emperor has so much time to manage every day, but you can imagine how the fourteen-year-old third prince is now educated.

Even if the emperor gave the answer, some people still had doubts, for fear that it would not be beautiful because they were small and big, so they raised the question of the identity of the three princes.

Mu Haoyu naturally knew the purpose of these people, and generously gave the result they wanted, anyway, as long as he achieved the final goal, how the process in the middle was not considered.

"The third prince is going to study in the academy, and he is not allowed to go as a prince." As soon as Mu Haoyu's voice fell, no minister stepped forward.

Not being allowed to enter the school as a prince means that the three princes go to the academy to be simple, just like ordinary students, even if something happens, it is reasonable, and some people are very satisfied with this move. Without the identity of the prince, it is really not enough to see the current ability of the third prince, so you can rest assured.

Although it is said that the identity problem has been solved, the children of the officials of the DPRK and China are all studying in Wenchang Academy, so they will naturally know about the identity of the three princes, which is no longer a secret. Of course, the open secret is still not enough for outsiders, and it is one thing to know it in one's own heart, and it is another thing to publicize it.

After the next dynasty, Mu Haoyu and Mu Jinming had breakfast together and talked about going to Wenchang Academy.

"Be careful in everything here, bring more people, don't be negligent." Mu Haoyu told him more, he really didn't want to send his youngest son out of the palace again, but there was no way, those people in the palace would not let people be safe under their noses, and he couldn't protect his younger son from harm forever, he didn't dare to guarantee that, so he thought of such a way.

Mu Haoyu has already taken into account all the bargaining chips that can establish his son in the court in the future, on the one hand, letting his son enter the academy is to avoid accidents and ensure safety, so that everyone thinks that the third prince has no chance to be on the throne since then, so that those people can let down their guard and show the fox's tail, on the other hand, it is for the arrangement of his son's manpower in the future, and if there are no available talents in his hands, he will not be able to withstand the support of the powerful family behind him.

"The sons know the stakes and will work hard to accumulate contacts, and the father can rest assured." Mu Jin knew what his father had done for him, and he would not let his father down.

Mu Haoyu didn't say anything more, the things he could teach his son had already been taught, some things were not just listened to, the things on paper were not only used to kill the enemy on the battlefield, the same thing was true in the court, he wanted his son to fit the crowd, understand and digest the knowledge he had learned, and only by using it could he be at ease.

Before the second prince Mu Rong's joy for the holy decree passed, he was called to the palace by Concubine Chen, and he knew the reason why his mother let him enter the palace. Although I felt that I had made a big fuss, it was still not good to go against Concubine Chen's wishes.

It is definitely unrealistic for the previous dynasty to communicate with **, Mu Haoyu will never allow such a thing to happen, but it is a matter of the three princes to stay, ** everyone heard some rumors.

Concubine Chen called her son to the palace in order to confirm the authenticity of the matter, so as to make the next step.

"Is the news true?" Concubine Chen sat down and looked at her son and asked.

"Yes, the decree has been given." Mu Rong's face was cheerful, and he said with a smile: "This time it's just a problem in my heart." He thought that it would not be long before the three princes would go to the court to listen to the government, although the three princes were not yet in the climate, but they had to take precautions, so that many problems would be solved.

"Are you sure your father has no selfish intentions?" Concubine Chen didn't believe that the third prince, who was precious to death before, was now sent out of the palace like this, and her heart was more or less unsteady.

"Although the mother concubine is relieved, the ministers in the court have asked the emperor's intentions." Mu Rong smiled and told Concubine Chen about the affairs of the court.

"That's not bad." After Concubine Chen heard this, it was hard to imagine that the emperor's maintenance of the three princes was also abandoned, no matter what, it was best for her son.

"That's right." Mu Rong finally didn't have to guard against the third brother, and just had his hands free to deal with the boss.

"You don't have to solve him at once, after all, no matter how much he can't see your father, he is still a prince." Concubine Chen thought that if she didn't do it, she would cut the grass and eradicate it forever.

Mu Rong frowned after hearing this: "Mother don't be troublesome. "The matter of poisoning has not been solved before, and getting rid of the third prince is not like dealing with the people under the Yahuan and saying that they will kill and kill them, and they don't dare to care, after all, the identity is there, and if you don't get it right, something big will happen.

"But?" Everything Concubine Chen did was for the good of her son, but in the end, her son said that she was troublesome.

"If the previous incident was not handled well, should there be another incident?" Mu Rong's face suddenly fell, "It is a good thing that the third prince was sent out of the palace, what went wrong, wouldn't my father order a thorough investigation, it wasn't a cat or a dog who died, it was a prince, even if he wasn't very favored, he wouldn't be hasty for the sake of the royal family." ”

Concubine Chen's face turned pale when she was scolded by her son, but she was not good at preaching to her son, so she had to put the matter in her heart first, anyway, the future was long, she didn't believe that the third prince could really live to the end.

"Mother, we have to be careful now, we must not show half of our feet, now there is only the boss in the palace who can oppose me." Mu Rong didn't have the heart to coax Concubine Chen, how could a person who did big things live in emotional matters.

"Okay." Concubine Chen responded, as her son wanted.

"Your Royal Highness, the second prince was called to the palace by Concubine Chen again." The spies who were planted beside Mu Rong replied.

"Hmph, as soon as I heard the good news, I naturally hurriedly called the second child into the palace to confirm." The eldest prince scoffed at this and looked down on the mother and son.

"Send someone to keep an eye on you." Mu Zhao hadn't figured out how to stumble on the second child yet.

"Yes." The spy answered.

"When will the third brother leave the palace, inquire clearly, pick a few clever people and send them over, just say that it is my heart as a brother, let the third prince accept it." No matter how relieved Mu Zhao is, he has to send someone to keep an eye on it, don't let anything change happen at that time, it will be a big loss.

"Yes, the small ones will do it." The spy said.

"Alright, let's go down if there's nothing to do." Mu Zhao looked at the spring in the garden in a good mood, and his heart was very comfortable.

"The little one quits." The spy bowed and stepped back.

Tomorrow is the much-anticipated Qiu Yu, the officials who read the papers have still not been determined, and the folds submitted on the paper do not know whether they have been approved or not, and there is no movement at all, which makes Mu Zhao extremely puzzled, although the Qiu Yu has to take the exam for three days, he can't draw up the marking officer on the same day, which is too hasty.

No matter how anxious Mu Zhao was, he still couldn't change the fact that he couldn't be the master.

In the study room of Murong Mansion, Murong Xuan sat on a chair and talked to his father about the third prince's study.

"Dad, does the emperor really want to give up the three princes?" Murong Xuan was reluctant to believe that this was the truth, royal affairs were particularly changeable, no matter how he said it, he was also a prince, and it was indeed not in line with the ancestral system to let the prince go out of the palace to study.

"The decree has been given, what is impossible." Murong Rui said: "There is no father and son in the Heavenly Family, and this matter is also reasonable. ”

"It always feels too sudden." Murong Xuan will be suspicious and thoughtful whenever he has something, after all, this matter is very important, if he stands in the wrong position in the future, it will be a felony.

"It's sudden." Murong Rui didn't think about whether there was anything else hidden in it at first, but the emperor had already given a clear statement in the court, dispelling everyone's doubts.

"Then are we going to give up the Three Princes' side?" Now that the status of the three princes is not guaranteed, it can be said that they are degraded, and they no longer have the ability to compete for the throne in the future, Murong Xuan can't help but think about his family.

"It's not time yet." Even if there are two princes left, and the two princes have already reached the crown, Murong Rui still can't make a final conclusion, and there is no difference in being careful.

"Don't forget, the dust hasn't settled yet." Murong Rui reminded his somewhat anxious son, "Even if the third prince is sent out of the palace, there is not necessarily no hope. ”

"What does Dad mean is that even if one of the two eldest princes loses, the emperor will take the three princes back to the palace in order to balance the forces in the court?" Murong Xuan took this into account.

Murong Rui nodded and said, "Which of the two princes do you think is capable?" ”

"I can't see that yet." Murong Xuan is telling the truth, he has not contacted himself, so he will not make a presumptuous assertion, preconceived ideas will always leave trouble.

"Well, don't rush yet." Murong Rui didn't mean to ask clearly, but he had to remind his son, "Don't be too careless, some things are true, and hearing is false." ”

"Yes, I'll take it to heart." Murong Xuan has never been arrogant, as the next heir to the head of the family, he does not have the capital to be arrogant.

"The third prince is waiting for you to find an opportunity to contact after the big exam." Murong Rui was very curious about the third prince who had not shown up for a long time.

"Only by touching can you know if the third prince is hidden." Murong Xuan didn't believe that the children who grew up in the royal family would have nothing to do without scheming.

"You can do it at your discretion." Murong Rui changed the subject, "Tomorrow's Qiu Yu will do his best." ”

"Dad, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Murong Xuan is not worried about tomorrow's big exam.

"I'll go back and get some rest." Murong Rui didn't want to put too much pressure on his son.

"Well, dad should rest early, too." Murong Xuan saluted and left.

Mu Jinming was approved to enter Wenchang Academy after the end of the autumn season, and some people naturally wanted to take this opportunity to plant their own eyeliner beside him so that they could be monitored at any time.

The eldest prince and the second prince both sent three attendants in the name of their elder brother, but they were told that the emperor was not allowed to bring so many people, so they sent them back directly.

This can be a lot of people, how to monitor the three princes' every move in the future, some people mentioned this matter in the court, the high-sounding words seem to be trying to strive for more benefits for the three princes, after all, he is a prince, no matter how unfavored, he should bring more attendants to serve on the side.

As soon as these words came out, Mu Haoyu was immediately rejected on the spot, he naturally knew what the people under him were thinking, but how could he be as those people wished, and his son would never be allowed to appear by his side.

"The third prince is here to study, not to fight chickens and dogs, what do you want so many people to serve!" Mu Haoyu lowered his face and scolded angrily, "If there is a student in the academy with many subordinates around him, one attendant is enough." ”

Since the emperor has spoken, this matter can only be done here, but some people are not at ease about what they think, so some people have a moth.

"It's better to be like this, most of the heirs in the ministers' mansions are studying in the academy, why don't you accompany the three princes to familiarize themselves with the academy, so that they can study together in the future?" This is the person who has contributed his own heirs to act as a surveillance.

As soon as this remark came out, it was unanimously echoed by some people, and the people on both sides of the eldest prince and the second prince agreed one after another, saying that they were students in the academy and classmates of the third prince in the future, and it was good to be more familiar with them.

Mu Haoyu sneered in his heart, these people really dare to sacrifice anything, "What a mess!" ”

Mu Haoyu said angrily: "Teng's original intention of letting the three princes out of the palace was to go to school, not to form a gang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers suddenly understood that they had lost their words before, and they all hung their heads and did not reply, they were obviously carried away by the happy event, how could it be good to provoke Long Yan to be angry, and they didn't dare to say a word more, and they all started to shrink their heads.

"The matter is settled, and we must not mention it again." When Mu Haoyu sent a word, the ministers had to respond weakly, and no one dared to tease the dragon's beard again.

After Mu Jinming entered the academy, he acted very low-key, did not contact with his classmates, and returned to his residence with his attendants after class, which can be said to be very withdrawn.

And most of the students in the academy have the bottom in their hearts, they know the affairs of the three princes, the teaching gentlemen in the academy are not stupid, the two of them have their own sources, they did not contact to please the prince, but turned a blind eye to the three princes, because no matter what they do, there will be people who are cranky, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they have to act as if nothing happened, how was it before and what is it now, just a little hello, hello, hello, everyone, no one is guilty of anyone, and it is right to be safe.

Mu Jin obviously only has one attendant around him on the surface, but secretly he is followed by many secret guards, and he also disdains to be in the company of people in the academy who are used to looking at people's eyes, as for Mr. Teaching, he has no hobbies to toss.

After a few days of study, Mu Jinming's grades can only be regarded as average, which makes the people feel a lot more at ease, but someone secretly asked a few gentlemen for the sake of insurance, and left happily after confirming that it was correct.

Mu Jinming's goal has also been achieved, what he wants is to let those people relax their vigilance so that they can do their own thing.

The Xi Dynasty, who was far away in Xuzhou, received a letter from the palace, and burned it directly after reading it, as for her brother being expelled from the palace, she was very happy to see it, there are always many inconveniences in the palace, and often have to beware of villains framing, so it is better to go out of the palace happily, and you can do a lot of things.

The matter in Xuzhou is almost settled, Xi Chao plans to leave for the next town in a few days, and as for Yan Lu and the two who are still in the palace to be treated, she has also written to ask about the situation.

Xu Chenlin was particularly worried about Yan Lu and Qu Lao, it has been a long time, what kind of illness needs to be delayed for so long, fortunately, he can ensure that people are safe from the young man, otherwise he will really be on fire.

Xu Chenlin has no objection to Xi Chao's plan to leave, anyway, he has to go with him, and the young man must not have done it if he just listens to the opinions he puts forward.
