When this not long court meeting ended, the ministers withdrew from the Fengtian Palace, and Yin Wangjie's side of Shuntian Mansion was empty, and there was no one. Even though Wang Jie is Ge Yong's old friend, Ge's disciples, such as Hubu Shangshu Chen Shang, etc., have always respected this Wang Datou who does not enter oil and salt, and now it is even more so.

A three-grade boss who has just killed five imperial histories at a court meeting, who can wait to ignore it?

Zhang Shou wanted to say a few words to Wang Jie - after all, he was still called by this Shuntian Mansion Yin today, however, Wang Jie was much higher than his official rank, and it was not easy for him to chase after him. However, not long after he left behind, he suddenly heard two immature voices coming from the oblique.

"Teacher, teacher!"

"Fourth brother, you be quiet, there are so many people, don't cause trouble for the teacher!"

He stopped and looked sideways, but saw that it was the fourth prince running in front of him, and the third prince was close behind. The two little guys are still small short legs, baby fat, one is red, the other is green, and the small jacket is tightly wrapped around the body, as if the boy on the New Year's painting came to the world, he couldn't help laughing, and simply didn't care about the eyes of other people around him, and went straight up.

"Why did the two princes come to the front of this Fengtian Palace?"

"Originally, we wanted to leave the palace on the first day of the first lunar month, but my father didn't agree, it's the Lantern Festival, and my third brother and I haven't paid a New Year's greeting to the teacher yet!" The fourth prince panted and stopped, and then began to arrange the crown clothes in a serious manner, and finally solemnly said to Zhang Shou, "The teacher is above, and the disciple is polite." I wish the teachers a safe and prosperous New Year! ”

"I wish you a safe and prosperous New Year!" The third prince didn't care about blaming the fourth prince, and hurriedly followed suited his clothes and bowed deeply.

Zhang Shou didn't expect the two brothers to greet the New Year in such a posture of disciples in front of the public, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stepped forward to help them up one by one, then took a step back, smiled and returned the salute: "You have a heart." I have not given you any New Year's greetings. I wish the two princes a safe and healthy New Year, and all their wishes come true! ”

This wish came into four words, and it immediately hit the heart of the four princes. He burst out with a happy brow to thank the teacher, and then immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Shou's sleeve, and whispered: "Teacher, we have finished the homework you assigned to me and the third brother, and we have practiced a lot of words, and we have not been lazy!" You told my father, let me and my third brother go to Xingtai with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, okay? ”

The words in front of him were like reporting the situation of the holiday, and the more Zhang Shou listened, the more it looked like a child asking for candy before flattering. Sure enough, soon the unbelievable requests of the four princes followed. He smiled and asked directly, "Why do you want to go to Xingtai?" ”

The reason why it was you, not you, was that he found that the third prince was dragging the fourth prince eagerly in the back, but the one in front didn't pay attention to it at all. At this time, in the face of his question, the fourth prince held his head high, and said confidently: "Because Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu can go to Xingtai, I recommended it to my father!" ”

Zhang Shou initially thought that this was just a child's performance, but when he saw the fourth prince calmly raising his head and looking directly into his eyes, and the third prince hesitated for a moment under his direct gaze, he actually nodded to him slightly, and he realized that this incredible-sounding word turned out to be true!

Although he had previously presented the plan to the emperor, which was to gradually promote it from Gyeonggi to the entire Beizhili, at the same time, he sent the most powerful people to cut into Jiangnan, while looking for the existence of overseas excellent cotton varieties among the maritime merchants, and on the other hand, spreading it through the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, but the eldest prince suddenly took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Jiangnan, and the emperor sent people to Cangzhou, which was indeed unexpected by him.

Therefore, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, who thought they would be in charge of the promotion of Gyeonggi, went to Xingtai, and when the news came, although he was a little surprised, but thinking about the eldest prince, it felt logical. But as a result, these two people were recommended by the fourth prince!

He glanced at the other officials who had already gone away, and saw that there were only three of them left in the empty square, except for those palace attendants, so he looked at the four princes and asked solemnly: "So, what do the four princes want to do in Xingtai?" ”

"It's not me, it's my third brother!" The fourth prince dragged the third prince forward, and the latter was so anxious that he was about to cry, but he said word by word, "I also made a request to my father, but my father said, let me think about it, because it means going against the eldest brother...... But now I have figured it out, if the eldest brother does well, no one will be able to steal the limelight from him! ”

"But if he doesn't do well, then why be jealous of those who do well! I'm not going to steal the limelight with Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, I just want to take a look with the third brother to see what the world is like when I leave the capital, and what kind of life the people in the world are living! I don't want to be like Emperor Jin Hui, who heard that the hungry people were so hungry that they had nothing to eat, but they actually asked why they didn't eat minced meat! ”

Zhang Shou remembered that this was the story he had told in the Banshan Hall not long ago, but the reactions of the children of Guijie were completely different. For example, Zhang Chen and others seem to be unruly, but in fact they are enlightened, and at that time they ridiculed Emperor Jin Hui for not knowing the suffering of the people, and as for some rich idlers who are willing to eat and wait for death for the rest of their lives, they are completely dismissive. When the sky falls, there are tall people on top, what does it matter to them?

But the fourth prince firmly remembered that it was indeed rare for him to come from such a background and at such an age. Therefore, Zhang Shou couldn't help but carefully look at the prince in front of him, who was only seven years old after the New Year, and suddenly had a thought in his heart.

No wonder Emperor Taizu was reluctant to establish a long, but would rather be a virtuous; It's no wonder that many emperors will establish love for their children...... At least as far as he is concerned, he must feel that the fourth prince is countless times more sensible than the eldest prince and the second prince, a pair of brothers. Moreover, having been the teacher of the fourth prince for several months, he can be sure that this is not someone behind the teaching, but a natural aptitude.

However, when he found that the British lord had his eyes lit up, he threw himself to the ground and worshipped, which was the ancients of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith - for him who had experienced the era of contempt for authority, suspicion of authority and even overthrowing authority, and was accustomed to doubting everything, after the initial surprise passed, it was very common for him to look at the four princes.

A little genius with a big ghost, does he still see less?

The corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a warm smile: "The fourth prince has such a mind, that's good, but if you want to get out of the capital, you can go step by step, the first time you want to go to Xingtai so far away, then it's so ambitious." Moreover, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are going to do things, and if you and the three princes go with you, it will be easy for them to be distracted. ”

"No, no, no, my third brother and I can help him attract other people's attention, this is the Ming Xiu Plank Road secretly crossing Chen Cang!"

Seeing that the four princes said eloquently, Zhang Shou secretly sighed, but then put away his smile and put on his face: "Do the four princes think that you can really attract the attention of others by coming in person as the prince?" But have you ever thought about what else you can do to attract their attention besides being a prince? Is it pro-farming? Is it to persuade Nongsang? Or inspect the people? ”

His tone suddenly changed: "Have you thought about it, are these things suitable for a prince who has just been enlightened and doesn't even have a title?" You are thinking about going to Xingtai like this, in the eyes of others, you don't just want to compete with your eldest brother for the limelight, but with him for the East Palace. I ask you, are you ready and determined to do so? ”

The four princes turned pale when they were asked by Zhang Shou, however, it was the three princes who were even more frightened. He dragged the fourth prince behind him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tried to explain: "Teacher, don't listen to the fourth brother, he is just playful and wants to see the outside world, he definitely doesn't have those bad intentions, you must not misunderstand what he means......"

Seeing that the third prince opened his arms and blocked in front of the fourth prince, Zhang Shou remembered that Zhu Ying told him that the two brothers were only a few months apart, they grew up together, and their relationship was very good, and the emperor often took them with him to tease, but he didn't teach government affairs, and raised people to be quite coquettish, so he unconsciously put away the positive color just now, and simply squatted down in front of the two.

"Whether it's Xingtai or Cangzhou, these places where there is about to have a big turmoil are for adults to fight wits and courage, you are still young, and you don't know how to deal with the hostility of those adults. So, don't sink yourself into a mud puddle for the sake of curiosity. ”

Seeing that the fourth prince bit his lip and remained silent, he said with a pleasant face: "If the fourth prince just wants to go out of the capital and see how the common people live, then I can help you, for example, go to Rongshui Village, where I used to grow up, and go to the Cuiyun where Teacher Ge once lived in seclusion." Look at peace first, and then look at strife, which is the same as reading, you need to take it step by step. ”

Hearing this, the third prince was finally relieved, and he immediately bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you for the teacher's teachings." I will definitely take a good look at the fourth brother in the future and stop letting him talk nonsense! Last time he recklessly recommended Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu in front of his father, his father almost got angry, this was already very thrilling, I didn't expect him to know how to change it! ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and glared at the four princes. For him, who has always seemed shy and cowardly, this is a very rare move. Seeing that the fourth prince was still a little unconvinced, he reprimanded in a low voice: "You just said this to the teacher, if you say it to outsiders, do you know how much trouble it will cause?" ”

"Of course, I only said to the teacher, how do I know what bad intentions other people have!" The fourth prince was reprimanded by Zhang Shou like this, and was scolded by the third prince a few times, but this time he cried directly.

When Zhang Shou took out a handkerchief and handed it over, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still took it, wiped the corners of his eyes, but felt that his nose was blocked and astringent, and he couldn't help but blow his nose again, and it happened that at this time the third prince asked in a low voice.

"Teacher, this can't be given to you by Sister Yingying, right?"

The eyes and nose of the fourth prince were all red, and when he heard the words of the third prince, he couldn't help but immediately look down at the crumpled handkerchief, and then he was stunned. This can't really be a token of love given to the teacher by Sister Yingying, right? If that happens, will he be beaten to death by Sister Yingying?

When he was panicking, he saw Zhang Shou suddenly laughing, and then the hand reached over, and he rubbed it on his head a few times, followed by the third prince who had just spoken, and his head was flicked.

And after instinctively making these two actions, Zhang Shoufang remembered that what was in front of him was not the two boys next door, but the prince with an extraordinary identity! But everything was done, and when he saw that the brothers looked stupid, he simply coughed casually: "Okay, go back and review your homework well, after the Lantern Festival, Guozijian will reopen classes." ”

"If you want to go out, go back and ask Yingying to go to the emperor and the queen mother to grind, and when you take a break, you have a chance."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou didn't say much, nodded slightly and turned around and walked out. As for the handkerchief that wiped the tears and snot of the four princes just now...... Hehe, he's going to have to come back to have a ghost. In this era when there was no paper, since he had money, this kind of handkerchief was bought by Ah Liuyi by a dozen, oh, there should not be a "beating" of this counting unit in these years......

As for Zhu Ying's love token...... The eldest lady can't embroider handkerchiefs, let alone sew delicate gadgets like sachets!

Speaking of which, the two of them often travel in pairs in the name of their fiancés, but Zhu Ying has never given him anything, and he has never given Zhu Ying anything. It's all kinds of clothes and accessories given to him by the Zhu family of Zhao Guogong's Mansion, and he can't put it in the cabinet at home, and he is really soft-hearted, and he is a little embarrassed to think about it...... His fiancé did a bit unqualified.

So cheating marriage or something, it really doesn't exist, it's really rare for the Yue family to talk so well in the world!

And the fourth prince looked at the messy handkerchief in his hand, and then looked at the third prince who was covering his head, and suddenly grabbed the third brother with his empty hand and left. As he walked, he whispered: "Sister Yingying seems to have entered the palace to see her grandmother today, let's hurry back and wash this veil first, and then go to Qingning Palace to ask." If it's really Sister Yingying's ...... to the teacher"

The third prince sighed: "The teachers are all laughing like that, obviously not." ”

"But what if?" The fourth prince replied unconvinced, and then said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Moreover, I also want to know what Sister Yingying has given to the teacher...... It's good to tell the second sister for reference! Third brother, let's go! ”

When Zhu Ying was blocked by the third prince and the fourth prince at Qingning Gate, she couldn't help but wonder unusually.

These two little guys are the emperor's favorite pistachios, but the queen mother's attitude towards these two little grandsons is not mediocre, so they don't often come to Qingning Palace except for greetings. It's almost noon at this time, she politely refused the Queen Mother's stay, what are the two brothers doing here?

However, as soon as the fourth prince spoke, she was directly stunned: "Sister Yingying, the third brother and I just want to ask you, have you ever given a teacher a handkerchief or something?" ”

The three princes were simply shocked. Why do you want to die and pull me! How can there be such a straightforward question!

However, Zhu Ying was not angry. She clapped her fist as if she had suddenly realized, and said with great annoyance: "Yes, I haven't given Ah Shou anything much...... Ah Shou even gave me an oil-paper umbrella! ”
