Yongchen's twenty-seven years of sutra feast is destined to leave a name in history - as for whether it is a good name or a bad name, it is not good. Because after the verbal argument a few days ago, this scene on the sixth day of October had an accident before it started, but it was Zhang Shouyu who fought Confucius University, two people with a huge difference in age and experience in official rank, and did a game in court.

And in the end, it was none other than the peacemaker who came out, it was the son of heaven. But the emperor, who was a peacemaker himself, was open-minded and biased, but he directly and happily approved of such a new thing as the Sutra Library, and decided to promote it to the world regardless of it.

Then, Wu Ge Lao, the son of heaven, gave full play to his characteristics and jumped out to support and echo him.

In the face of such a situation, although the Confucius scholar was half angry, there were not so many resolute opponents like him, and the third prince came out to continue to be the second peacemaker, proposing to change the scripture hall into a miscellaneous scripture hall, printing dozens of miscellaneous books such as water conservancy and agricultural books for students to borrow and copy, and said that with the support of Yue Shanchang and others, the matter was decided.

Yue Shanchang Xiao Shanchang and the other three actually didn't want to support it so much, but the three princes smiled and lobbied in person, and asked them to recommend books to be placed in the Miscellaneous Scripture Museum for others to borrow, if they didn't even give this face...... No one thinks that they can still do the East Palace lectures.

As for Hong Shanchang, I don't know if it's a coincidence or if he hasn't been summoned by the Son of Heaven, anyway, on this day's feast, people didn't come, not only avoided such a difficulty, but also missed such an opportunity.

When this day-time feast ended, the three mountain chiefs who had been in harmony before came together again. All three of them avoided commenting on the emperor's actions or the future prince's actions as peacemakers, and focused only on commenting on the lectures of the people at today's feast. As for the debate between Zhang Shou and Confucius University about who won and lost, the three of them all tacitly agreed.

The dignified old man faced such an upstart as Zhang Shou, and he actually rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person, instead of using those pawns, the Confucius scholars would never be weak to such a point, and it was very likely that they were deliberately showing weakness or even other purposes. As for Zhang Shou, the Calculation Hall has become a Miscellaneous Scripture Hall, and it is the Three Princes who stand up and propose this, has Zhang Shou thought of it? Are you willing?

And another thing that the three of them discussed, that is, as soon as the feast ended, the three princes were blocked by Zhu Ying. Yue Shanchang felt that the eldest lady who was so angry that her eyebrows stood up seemed to be extremely unwilling, and Xiao Shanchang also commented on Zhu Ying's arrogant and domineering attitude of dragging the third prince away. Xu Shanchang was vague, as if he didn't want to comment on anything related to Zhu Ying at all.

Don't say it's them. The four princes who chased after him also felt that Zhu Ying really didn't take his third brother seriously. However, it wasn't until he angrily chased after Zhu Ying and the third prince and entered the Lintoe Gate that he found that Zhu Ying was talking to the third prince with a smile.

Inside the Lintoe Gate is Ciqing Palace, but there is also another common name outside the world - East Palace. It is located to the east of the entire palace and to the northeast of the Mandarin Hall. The current emperor lived here after following the Empress Dowager into Beijing and being crowned the crown prince, and soon after, it will also become the residence of the three princes.

However, both the third and fourth princes are very unfamiliar with this place. Once upon a time, there were two older brothers, and they simply wouldn't have come to such a place where people could easily misunderstand. Although the third prince is now the future crown prince, he has no intention of declaring his ownership to Ciqing Palace in advance.

Therefore, the first time he came here, the fourth prince looked around, and saw that there was no one in this huge place, so he hesitated to step forward and asked a little puzzledly: "Sister Yingying, what kind of dumb riddle are you and the third brother playing?" I was confused, I thought you were going to bully the third brother! ”

Seeing Zhu Ying smiling and silent, he couldn't help but ask again: "The third brother has disturbed the teacher's good deeds, aren't you really angry?" ”

Although what the third brother said and did when he was a peacemaker in the Wenhua Hall just now was ordered by his father to do it, according to Zhu Ying's temper as understood by the fourth prince, it should be that regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he should find the third brother to settle accounts first.

The four princes stared at him with blazing eyes and questioned suspiciously, but in exchange for Zhu Ying reaching out and grabbing his cheeks, and then pinching him. It wasn't until his face was kneaded into dough that he screamed in pain that Zhu Ying let him go.

"The Calculation Hall was just throwing stones to ask for directions, and looking at the appearance of Grandpa Ge and Lu Sanfat, they obviously didn't expect it to be successful. Ah Shou also said to me yesterday that he only hopes that the people in the world who study arithmetic will not be as embarrassed as the four brothers of Ye Mengqiu. You must know that Jiuzhangtang has two consecutive candidates, and nine out of ten are either from the capital or. ”

"Because Lu Sanlang's bookstore mainly sells books in the capital and the area, for example, the four brothers of Ye Mengqiu are in Guangping Mansion, and they can't buy the scriptures, which shows what the situation is in other parts of the world."

Zhu Ying didn't really sympathize with Ye Mengqiu and the others, and she was not a compassionate saint, but as long as Zhang Shou decided to forgive generously, then she would also generously ignore the trouble that the four brothers had gone to the Lu family's crown ceremony to find trouble with Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang before.

When she said this, she felt that she had explained it clearly enough to the brothers, so she said with a smile: "I just want to trick some people, so that they think that I am angry and looking for the third prince to settle accounts, and I think that Ah Shou and they will return this time, and then jump out to stir up trouble, and then it will be time to beat them hard." ”

"However, the third prince's proposal is really good, and he directly pulled Yue Shanchang and the three of them into the water. is worthy of being the future prince, and he is getting more and more powerful! ”

The third prince was praised by Zhu Ying, and after a while, he whispered: "Sister Yingying, you look down on me, in fact, it was my father who taught me to say this...... In fact, my original intention was to directly ask the teacher to put the "New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic" in the arithmetic hall, so that those ordinary scholars can also get in touch with these in-depth arithmetic essentials. Results ......"

He paused, looking a little dejected.

As a result, my father said, don't put all of them in, put three volumes, just talk about fractions and one-dimensional equations, and other things, people who are interested in taking the Jiuzhangtang exam will naturally look for the next books, otherwise when they are admitted to the Jiuzhangtang, someone will naturally teach. But I think the first three volumes are too simple......"

Seeing that the third prince thought that the first three volumes were simple, and seeing that the fourth prince was really crying and laughing when he heard this, Zhu Ying's face suddenly became extremely delicate.

Of course she had read the first volume, but the second volume involved topics such as fractions and cyclic decimals, and she began to get dizzy, and when she waited for the general score and what fractions to add, subtract, multiply and divide, and so on, she was very struggling. As for using the unary equation to solve the chickens and rabbits in the same cage or even turning and closing the water valve, she felt dizzy after reading it anyway.

Later, although Zhang Shou explained to her in simple terms, she was already determined to retreat! If she had this talent, she would have become Grandpa Ge's student eight hundred years earlier!

And listening to the third prince say that it was the emperor who really instructed the performance of the double reed, although Zhu Ying was surprised, but this was also reasonable, and she had to catch the four princes and ask in detail. When the four princes added fuel to the conversation between them and the emperor, she praised the four princes for their growth, and of course, she had to praise the three princes for becoming more and more like the crown prince, and the four princes for becoming more and more like the virtuous king.

But when he heard the titles of the crown prince and the virtuous king, the three princes' faces suddenly changed. And although Zhu Ying was talking to the fourth prince, she keenly noticed that the third prince seemed to be a little speechless, and immediately became confused.

Could it be that the third prince has not accepted that he is about to become the prince of the East Palace, and he is no longer the same as the fourth prince?

"Sister Yingying." The three princes finally made up their minds. He took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "I think it would be better if I was the one who came out first today to pull the bias for the Confucian scholars and teachers, and then the father and emperor came out to be a peacemaker and changed the scripture hall into a miscellaneous scripture hall?" ”

"I always feel that my father made this special arrangement as if it was for me...... But wouldn't this damage the reputation of my father? At that time, it was in public, and I couldn't refuse my father's request, but I just felt in my heart that this was not right. ”

"That time it is rumored that I advised my father, saying that it was when the eldest brother and the second brother came out to participate in the feast, I obviously only made a private suggestion, and did not write it, but the news also spread widely. I asked my father to investigate thoroughly, but my father smiled and smiled, but he didn't move at all, I felt strange at that time, and even wondered if my father deliberately spread the news! ”

The four princes who were listening on the side became more and more confused, and finally couldn't help asking, "What did my father do?" But why? ”

Zhu Ying thought about it for a while, then looked at the third prince and said softly: "Since you think the emperor did it, then you want to know why?" ”

"I think it's for me. This time, my father taught me to say that, will others think that my father is arbitrary, but I seem to be impartial? And last time, will others think that my father is too ruthless, but I seem to be filial piety? But that's not the case......"

Without waiting for the third prince to say why this was not the case, Zhu Ying smiled and directly interrupted the future prince's gradually incoherent talk. She pulled the four princes who had already heard dumbfounded on the side, pushed the person in front of the third prince, and then said word by word: "I am an outsider in this matter, it is difficult to comment, you should discuss and communicate with the fourth prince more." ”

"But......" The third prince hesitated, but in the end he still said the words he had been holding in his heart for the past few days, "Sister Yingying, you may also be my sister-in-law!" ”

This time, Zhu Ying smiled even more happily, and even showed two little white teeth: "Even if I am really your own sister, just like Yongping, but when it comes to matters between the emperor and your father and son, you shouldn't ask me, but the fourth prince." Brothers, you and the four princes grew up together, if there is anything you don't understand, of course you should talk to him about it. ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying put down these words, it was really as if no one was around, and the third prince was stunned for a moment. The fourth prince opposite him hesitated for a moment before asking, "Third brother, do you think that the father is deliberately making you, the future prince, show benevolence and fairness to the outside world?" ”

At this moment, the third prince forgot about Zhu Ying's departure, and hurriedly asked, "Fourth brother, have you also found out?" ”

The fourth prince sighed, drooped his head and said, "If you didn't say it, third brother, I wouldn't have thought of this...... Since I was a child, you have been more careful than me, and you are more stable than me, so I didn't notice my father's hard work at all...... But your father should be kind to you, you will be the crown prince in a few days, and of course your father will help you establish your prestige. As long as you understand this intention, your father should be very happy......"

When the third prince first heard the fourth prince compare the two brothers, he still felt a little crying and laughing, but when he heard the words later, he gradually felt that he didn't feel very good in his heart.

He knew that the four princes were not talking casually, but sincerely feeling in their hearts. But the more he did this, the more he felt like a heavy boulder was pressed in his heart. He is not earth-shattering in talent, and he is not noble in virtue, how can He De let his father take care of him since he was a child, and suddenly canonize him as a prince, and even ignore his own reputation to highlight him?

How could he still have the trust and love of his father? Standing there for a long time, the third prince gently held the fourth prince's hand, and then said in a low voice: "No, fourth brother, you are not right. I never wanted to be a prince before, but since I was about to become a prince, I didn't want others to make sacrifices in order to fulfill me, whether it was you or my father. ”

"There's a lot I don't understand, but I'm going to learn. If you find anything in the future that I haven't noticed, something dizzy, you must tell me, even if you scold me bloody, you must remind me. ”

The fourth prince's eyes widened suddenly, but after the initial accident, he said with a smile: "Third brother, since you said so, then I'm not welcome!" Me too, if I am a bastard like King Lu in the future, you must also scold me to wake me up, if you are really angry, you can wake me up! I don't believe it, what is called the heavenly brothers will turn against each other, how can there be such a truth in the world! ”

Outside the Lintoe Gate of Ciqing Palace, avoiding Zhu Ying, who left in a hurry, Chu Kuan, who came here quietly, listened to the conversation between the two brothers in the inner house, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then turned around and left. After meeting up with Lu Chan, who was waiting for him not far away, he said in a deep voice: "Send someone to check and see if anyone has been playing right and wrong in front of the four princes recently." ”

Otherwise, how could the four princes refute angrily that the brothers of the Heavenly Family would turn against each other and something like that was nonsense? Concubine Jiang, the biological mother of the four princes, has always been gentle and shy, so she shouldn't say this in front of the four princes!

And Zhu Ying left Ciqing Palace, but did not leave the palace immediately, but went to Qianqing Palace without any way, and directly reported to God as an ear, repeating what she had said to the three princes and four princes and brothers before. Seeing that she was about to leave after speaking, the emperor couldn't help but stop people: "Yingying, on the day of the canonization of the crown prince, you can also come to watch the ceremony together!" ”

If you are someone else, you will either be flattered or sincerely afraid at this time, and the best performance may be just a normal heart. But Zhu Ying directly gave the emperor a light snort: "On such a big day, you still need the emperor, you say?" He's my brother too! ”
