Zhang Xiaowu came to Yixin Palace this time, which is a place where the little fat man lives, because he can only be crowned the prince next year, so the little fat man can't live in the East Palace. Moreover, according to the regulations of the imperial family, the adult prince cannot live in the palace, so the prince can only live in the East Palace until he is eighteen years old, and after the age of eighteen, he needs to open another mansion in Longdu. Only the crown prince has the right to set up a prince's palace outside the city, and other princes can only live together in the prince's palace.

The little fat man was bored waiting, and when he was bored, he began to play with origami airplanes, one plane flew far away, and the other plane fell directly to the ground. The little fat man was very annoyed, ran over to pick it up, looked at the creases carefully, and found that it was crooked, so he opened it again and folded it again.

He put the head of the plane at the corner of his mouth and sighed, the white heat puffed on the nose of the plane, he lifted the plane with confidence, threw it hard, and the plane flew slowly and leisurely. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the plane flew higher and higher, and actually flew out of the wall of Yixin Palace and flew outside.

The little fat man slapped his hands happily, and was happy, when he saw Zhang Xiaowu coming, he hurriedly said: "Shaobao, Shaobao, look, how is my plane?" ”

"Yes, there is progress." Zhang Xiaowu looked at it again, and immediately couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that the little fat man used to fold the plane turned out to be the "Five Laws of the Book of Songs", he quickly picked up the remaining books, and said: "How do you use this book to fold the plane?" ”

The little fat man said seriously: "Because the paper of this book is the hardest, and it is the most suitable for origami airplanes." ”

"If your other teachers see it, you'll have to be angry."

"It's okay, I'll find another one." The little fat man said, "Shaobao, why do you call it a paper airplane?" What is an airplane? Is it a chicken that can fly? Why isn't it called Paper Bird? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Airplane means flying machine. ”

"And what is a machine?"

"A machine is a machine that can run on its own."

"What does it look like to run your own machine?"

"My ink bureau is working on a device, and I'll have a chance to show it to you in the future."

"No, no, I'm going to watch it now. By the way, Shaobao, didn't you promise me to take me to visit Longdu, the Imperial City of Knowledge you took me to last time was not Longdu. Hum! I'm a kid, but I'm not a fool. The little fat man said with an indignant face, as if he had deceived him about his last visit to the imperial city.

Zhang Xiaowu laughed, squatted down and said, "Then His Royal Highness King Zhao, where do you want to go tomorrow?" ”

The little fat man said, "Shall I go out today?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked outside, shook his head and said, "It's already afternoon, the markets are all scattered, and there is no way to take you around." ”

The little fat man suddenly said, "Then can I go to your house?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu paused for a moment before saying, "This-"

The little fat man jumped to his feet and shouted, "I'm going to your house, I'm going to your house, I'm going to your house—"

Zhang Xiaowu said helplessly: "I need to report to Your Majesty." ”

"Hurry up, then."

Zhang Xiaowu had no choice but to go to Emperor Dade again, and report to Emperor Dade about the little fat man's request, and Emperor Dade smiled and said If you can bring him back at noon tomorrow, I will promise him that I will stay at your house tonight. Zhang Xiaowu was quite surprised, the emperor trusted him too much, he told the emperor's request to the little fat man, and the little fat man nodded violently and said that he would come back before noon tomorrow.

Along the way, the little fat man was nervous, and for the first time he walked out of the palace and out of the imperial city, he didn't know what the outside world was like. When he came to the gate of the imperial city, the little fat man cautiously asked, "Shaobao, let's go out like this?" Will there be a thief? Assassins? ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked: "What, are you afraid of death?" ”

The little fat man nodded violently: "I'm very afraid of death." ”

Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "It's normal to be afraid of death, I'm also afraid of death, as long as you learn to protect yourself, no one can hurt you." You are the prince, and the only enemy who will hurt you in the future is time. ”

"Who's the time?"

"Time is not a person, it is a thing that is always moving forward, it is the hour that you pass, twelve hours are a day, thirty days is a month, twelve months is a year, and of course sometimes there are leap months. You go through a year, time passes a year, and you are a year older. Zhang Xiaowu explained, "Everyone calls Your Majesty long live, but can people live for 10,000 years?" ”

The little fat man shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "As far as I know, the longest-lived emperor in the history of the Shenghan Dynasty is Emperor Shengwu, who reigned for forty years and lived to be eighty-eight years old. Therefore, the so-called long live is everyone's respect for the emperor, and if a person can live to be 100 years old, he is already a fairy figure. ”

The little fat man asked, "I want to live to be a hundred years old." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "If you want to live to be 100 years old, you must first calm your mind, make yourself happy every day, let yourself not think about so many troublesome things every day, and be like you are now." It's a pity that people always have to grow up, and when you grow up, you care more and think more. ”

The little fat man didn't quite understand, Zhang Xiaowu smiled, and led the little fat man back to his own home in Jixiangfang, because this time taking King Zhao home was a secret trip, except for a few Royal Forest Army and Zhang Xiaowu, the rest of the people did not know. Even the Zhang family didn't know who this little fat man was, and thought that Zhang Xiaowu had recognized another younger brother and came back, and everyone regarded this person as Zhang Xiaowu's younger brother, and there was another young master in the house.

However, not long after, Min Bachi and Jing Cong, two captains of the Imperial Forest Military Academy, came to Zhang's Mansion and surrounded Zhang's Mansion to protect them. The little fat man didn't know how many people he had troubled with his "whim", and the five hundred royal forest soldiers had to stand outside Zhang's house in the cold wind to protect his safety.

Regarding the identity of the little fat man, Zhang Xiaowu specially explained to him, saying that he was a child of an old friend's family, his name was Chenghua, and he belonged to his own children and nephews. The little fat man didn't care about this, and asked if he wanted to call his uncle, Zhang Xiaowu said that at least he couldn't call Shaobao, he could call General Zhang.

The two of them came to the main hall while talking, and when they saw that there was no one in the main hall, some of them immediately said that Mang Chong and the others were playing in the second lady's room at this time.

Zhang Xiaowu took the little fat man to Wanqiu's room, pushed open the door and saw that the four women (girls) were really playing mahjong. It's a good thing for you again, isn't it? ”

Mang Chong stuck out his tongue and said, "Master is so smart! Eighty thousand! ”

"I'll touch it!" It turned out to be Shang Wan'er who spoke, she didn't learn well at a young age, she actually learned to play mahjong in one day, and then she actually piled up a lot of copper coins in front of her, it seems that this nine-year-old Xiao Nizi actually won everyone.

"Oh, Miss, how can you touch my seventy or ninety thousand clips! I was going to prepare this card! The next one of my cards is too much, are you a little monkey? Yunyan shouted, "Master, you're back, master, who is he?" ”

Mang Chong hurriedly asked: "Master, otherwise you can play two for me, my luck is too bad today, I have played five rounds, and I haven't won once." ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said, "I don't want to play, you can play by yourself." This is my old friend's child, called Chenghua, he is the only child in his family, he is very bored, so he came to our house, and will go home tomorrow. ”

Mang Chong saw that the little fat man was hiding behind Zhang Xiaowu while holding his hand, which seemed to be very intimate, so he beckoned: "Little Master Chenghua, you also play mahjong together, right?" I'll teach you, it's fun, it's interesting, and you'll learn it as soon as you learn it. ”

The little fat man immediately rushed out and shouted, "Yes, yes." So he went up and played with them.

Although the little fat man plays hard, but the memory is not good, always can't remember the cards, and likes to command indiscriminately on the side, so the card game is more lively, full of laughter and troublemaking sounds. Although everyone is annoyed that he is running around and making trouble, they like his temperament, but Shang Wan'er, who has the most eccentric temperament, is the best with him.

Zhang Xiaowu sat on the side and watched everyone happy, he was very happy, he pushed open the door and walked out, and came to Wang Yijin and Chen Guanxi. The two little brothers were drinking with a group of guards from Zhangfu, who also came from Saibei, and when they saw Zhang Xiaowu coming, everyone got up and said, "General! ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and said, "Chen Guanxi, aren't you married?" Why are you still messing around here? ”

Chen Guanxi smiled and spit out two words like a gourd: "Hugh." ”

"Hughed?" Zhang Xiaowu was surprised and said that divorce in this era is not simple, and if a man divorces his wife for no reason, he will suffer a lawsuit and be punished. However, Wang Yijin was articulate and explained: "General, don't you know that Chen Guanxi became married once and almost got a lawsuit. This stuffy gourd has always refused to say it, and I only found out about it yesterday. It turned out that he went to a steppe girl to be his wife, but he didn't expect that the man suddenly returned, saying that he had run back from the army of the Northern Tartar Tower. Good guy, the girl got married at the age of thirteen, and the man was captured by Ligaotu at the age of fourteen and went to the North Tartar Tower to work as a herdsman, everyone thought he was dead, so the girl married Chen Guanxi. Unexpectedly, six years have passed, and he actually came back, but people still want to marry that girl regardless of their previous suspicions. The girl was also a Tartar woman, and she didn't want to marry a Han Chinese, and as a result, my Kansai brother was thrown away. ”

Chen Guanxi blushed and said, "It's not that he threw me, it's me who divorced her." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you are reasonable, you are all right." Wang Yijin shouted.

When several people said this, the outside was bright, as if it was daytime, Zhang Xiaowu pushed the door open, and saw a raging fire burning in the direction of the palace. He was shocked in his heart, and immediately shouted: "All of them, the palace is on fire, immediately follow me to the palace to inspect." ”

Everyone saw that there was a fire in the palace, everyone ran out of the gate and stretched their necks to watch, the fire that soared into the sky stunned everyone, people rarely saw such a big fire, and the location of the fire was not in one place, but everywhere, as if the palace was on fire everywhere. The north wind was blowing, and the dry woods of the palace became the accelerant for the fire, and the fallen leaves drifted everywhere with sparks.

"Hula-la-"

It seems that a pavilion has burned down, and everyone is entangled in their hearts, I don't know how many people have been buried in the fire, and I don't know how many people will not see tomorrow.

After Zhang Xiaowu quickly put on his armor, Min Bachi and Jing Cong also ran over with people, and said eagerly: "Lord Shaobao, it seems that there is a fire in the palace." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, I'll take a look, half of the people you left behind to continue to protect the prince, and he must not miss a hair." The other half of the people went with me to the palace. ”

"Yes."

Min Bachi stayed, Jing Cong followed Zhang Xiaowu all the way to the gate of the imperial city, at this time, several imperial forest soldiers saw Zhang Xiaowu coming with his general, hurriedly stopped him, and said: "Lord Shaobao, after nightfall, you are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned by the emperor!" ”

"When the hell are you coming, why don't you go and put out the fire?" Zhang Xiaowu was furious.

A lieutenant said: "Back to Lord Shaobao, we are staying to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to enter the palace." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Open the door and let me in." ”

The lieutenant said, "No." ”

Jing Cong said angrily: "Open the door!" Who told you to close the door? When is it? ”

The lieutenant said: "It's Commander Li's order, please forgive the officer for being rude." ”

Zhang Xiaowu frowned, turned around and said, "Li Canglan has rebelled. ”

"What?" Jing Cong was surprised.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Now that the palace fire is burning, it is the time to fight the fire and save people, he does not allow people to enter the palace, it is clear that he wants to rebel." ”

The lieutenant said angrily, "You are talking nonsense—"

"Poof!"

Zhang Xiaowu didn't wait for him to finish, pulled out his iron shovel and turned around to smash his head, and then rushed towards his subordinates, without waiting for any reaction from those royal forest soldiers, he struck first, and stoned them all to death one by one. Everyone is not as strong as him, and he is not as quick as he reacts, and no one has the strength to resist under the northern sneak attack. Zhang Xiaowu killed the leader, and then shouted: "A certain prince is a young protector, protecting the safety of the prince and the emperor, and you dare to stop me from entering the city, is it a rebellion?" ”

The other Imperial Guards were frightened and took a few steps back, and one of them trembled and said: "If you go in alone, we won't stop you, but your subordinates can't go in, you are the crown prince and the young guard, you are the guard with a sword in front of the emperor, they are not." ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked left and right, and his subordinate generals and Jing Cong said, "I'll go in first, I must find the emperor." ”

Wang Yijin and Chen Guanxi hurriedly said: "We will accompany you!" ”

The rest of the guards hurriedly said, "If you all want to come in, we will close the gate so that none of you can enter." ”

Zhang Xiaowu immediately said to everyone: "Wang Yijin, go to the Yinyi Guard Yamen to mobilize people, Chen Guanxi, you take someone to transfer people to various Fangcheng for me, eight thousand Yinyi guards, and the whole army is on standby." If I don't come out within two hours, you will attack the palace immediately!" ”

"Yes."

Jing Cong was startled and shouted, "Lord Shaobao, you are- you can't do this." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't want to do this, but this matter is strange!" My 8,000 silver-clothed guards were set up to protect the emperor, and now the emperor's life and death are unknown, and I can't trust anyone, including Li Canglan! Fuck Li Canglan, if the emperor has three long and two short, I can't spare him! ”

"My uncle won't rebel, there must be a misunderstanding." Jing Cong argued, he didn't know what kind of madness this group of Imperial Forest Army was going on, and he wanted to prevent others from entering the palace to put out the fire today.
