At that moment, the fourth prince only felt that there were countless unjust souls lingering in this ancient and modern collection library, and almost subconsciously hugged the arm of his third brother directly, and the strength that day was not afraid of the ground seemed to be gone in an instant. And the third prince couldn't help but sigh after being stunned for a moment: "Fourth brother, this palace was originally Yuan Dadu, where has no one died!" ”

The fourth prince looked dumbfounded, and when he saw that the emperor also looked back, he drooped his head and said, "Even if there are dead people in other palaces, the night is not as gloomy as here...... No, it's gloomy compassion! Father, can't we come during the day? ”

"It's more atmospheric to come in the evening." The emperor didn't seem to see the face of the four princes who froze for a moment, but said with a smile, "The first time I came to the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library, it was the evening when my father and emperor withdrew everyone, so he brought me alone. He held the lamp, and I followed, and at that time, I looked behind the bookshelves around me, and I felt as if there were a lot of demons and monsters hidden. ”

The fourth prince knew that his father meant that there were at least three people at this time, and he couldn't help but pout, but he was very disapproving. In fact, he is not really afraid of the dark, afraid of few people, afraid of ghosts, anyway, there is such a powerful father, this is in the palace, even if there are demons and monsters, he can beat it. Didn't he just want to foil his third brother's wisdom and martial arts?

However, what he didn't understand the most at the moment was why his father brought his two brothers here, so at this moment, he casually let go of the hand holding the arm of the third prince, and instead dragged the person's clothes again, and then asked in a low voice: "Third brother, I haven't been here, do you know what books are in this ancient and modern library?" ”

Although the third prince is the crown prince, he has never been here much before, so he really can't answer the question of the fourth prince. But the emperor was silent, he could only say uncertainly: "It is said that there are many rare books and even unique books in the ancient and modern Tongji library, and my father asked the master of ceremonies to print some of them, some of them were given to important ministers, and some were given to famous people, and many people were very grateful for the grace of heaven." ”

Hearing that his son was praising himself, the emperor of course was happy to Tao Tao: "Because these things exist here, no one will read them, so of course they must be published." I have already thought about it, and I will print a few more sets of the four libraries of the subset of the scriptures and histories compiled during the Taizong period in the last years of Taizu, and put all the thirteen political divisions in the world in one set, and build a big library in the provincial capital for students to read. ”

"Father Emperor Shengming!" When he said this, the third prince was really sincere, "This is better than the library building that Lu Saijiu wants to build for borrowing books to read, after all, how can there be so many books in the palace among the people!" It should be printed out so that everyone in the world can see it. ”

The emperor caught a glimpse of the four princes behind the three princes nodding desperately, and he finally realized that the small one was desperately foiling the big one.

He touched the heads of his two sons with mixed feelings, then turned around and continued to walk, when he came to a bookshelf in the middle, he put the oil lamp on the ebony case on the side, and went to the third shelf to take down a box, and when he opened it, he saw a pile of yellowed writing paper inside.

Seeing that the four princes came over first this time, and after only two glances, the little guy's brows wrinkled into a big pimple, he looked at the three princes on the side, and found that the person was gently pinching his little chin thoughtfully, so he said lightly: "This is some of Emperor Taizu's last notes, you have also seen it, they are all such ghost paintings, or heavenly books, no one can understand them." ”

The fourth prince's eyes flickered, and he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Does my father want to encourage us to learn from the teacher well, and then strive to read this ghost-like heavenly book to understand?" ”

As soon as his words fell, the emperor's head shuddered: "When you finish your studies, I don't know how to go directly to your teacher?" ”

Seeing that the fourth prince hugged his head and cried out in pain, but he flashed directly behind the third prince and looked at him pitifully, he didn't pay attention to this bear child who was playing treasure, and immediately told the brothers what happened to Chu Kuan and Hua Qi after they came back today. At this moment, the third prince was certainly stunned, and even the fourth prince was angry.

He has always had the worst relationship with the eldest prince and the second prince, and he shouted angrily: "This is simply nonsense, after Emperor Taizu abdicated, he used to travel all over the world, but later he died of illness after returning to Beijing!" ”

That's what it says in the record. But in fact, the events of Emperor Taizu's last few months were all conspired and agreed between Emperor Taizong and several pavilion elders at that time to whitewash the peace, so the Spring and Autumn Period history is ...... Hehe. When the emperor saw that the faces of the third prince and the fourth prince were frozen at the same time, he laughed and said, "I was younger than you when I knew about this, and I ...... at that time."

"That's when I felt like the biggest idol in my mind had collapsed."

Seeing that his two sons were really shocked as if they were clay carved wooden sculptures, the emperor gently closed the wooden box, and then said lightly: "I have already instructed someone to ask your teacher to go back to the ancient and modern Tongji Library to see these posthumous manuscripts of Taizu. Of course, this is only a part, and it is still a small part. Then your brothers will be with him. ”

Although he still couldn't fully come back to his senses, the third prince immediately nodded in agreement. As for who your teacher refers to, of course, he will not be mistaken. Besides Zhang Shou, how can there be anyone else?

However, the fourth prince on the side lowered his head and whispered: "If it is really as you said from your father, wouldn't it be possible that Emperor Taizu would not be able to come back for the time being because of a change in his overseas life, and when he could come back later, he would find that the court had already said that he was dead?" ”

"If that's the case, isn't it...... Isn't it a little similar to the second brother's current situation? ”

Although he was very reluctant to call the second prince the second brother in the past, at this time, the fourth prince couldn't help it, and finally said what was in his heart. But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.

Emperor Taizu doesn't matter, what is the second prince, what is it, it is worth him to complain about him? But just when he was angry with himself, he heard the third prince speak for him.

"Father, the fourth brother just thought of something and said something for a while, you ......"

"I don't blame him, because when Chu Kuan and Hua Qi reported to me so much, what I thought was that if Emperor Taizu did not die at the beginning, but could even leave another descendant overseas, then his situation is really similar to Erlang." The emperor didn't mean to be angry at all, and after laughing, he said calmly, "Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world." ”

"If Emperor Taizu is still alive and appears in front of my eyes at this time, and there are still many people who know him living in that world, I am of course willing to admit my mistakes for my ancestors and ancestors, recognize him, worship him as an ancestor, and serve him wholeheartedly. He leveled the captives and determined the immortal achievements of the country, which was the most desirable and admired from the first emperor to the capital. ”

"And if it is his so-called descendants who make waves, whether it is true or not, whether it is male or female, I will never spare it!"

"I have the ability to stand up as a descendant of Taizu when the throne changed and the world was turbulent, and then swept Liuhe into the palace, otherwise what would I do now! If it is really the descendants of Taizu, plus the elite soldiers and strong generals who went to sea with Emperor Taizu on the ship at that time, the former Yuan Cong heroes, should really be able to build a country overseas, if they come back......"

"That's definitely a beautiful way to come back and recognize your ancestors, even if you are not willing to be a member of the Ming Dynasty, at least it is a dignified and upright intersection between the two countries, instead of hiding behind your back and playing conspiracy like this!"

Hearing this, the four princes, who had been a little listless just now, suddenly became energetic.

Without thinking, he exclaimed, "Father said it well, and I think it should be so!" If the descendants of Emperor Taizu don't have this kind of heart, then they will be surnamed Zheng in vain! ”

The third prince couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and secretly thought in his heart that the descendants of Emperor Taizu are not all heroes, not to mention that in these clans now, there are not only open-minded people like King Jiangdu, but also the narrow-minded people like Zheng Huaien in the past, and even the former emperor of Gaozong Shizong, where is there a trace of Emperor Taizu's heroic spirit?

However, he did have doubts in his heart about the group of people who claimed to be descendants of Taizu Miao, so of course he would not pour cold water at this time, and immediately echoed in a deep voice: "Since these people are making waves, maybe they will really play this banner in the future." Father, son-in-law think that next year's birthday of Taizu will be exactly one hundred and thirty years old, should they handle it well? ”

"If someone really has bad intentions, maybe they will take that opportunity to jump out and make trouble. This can be regarded as a righteous conspiracy to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

The three princes did not blindly agree, but took the initiative to think of a solution, and the emperor was naturally very pleased. Although he had already made the corresponding arrangements and sent the corresponding manpower, he still agreed with satisfaction with the prince he had chosen.

"You've got a great idea, so do it. At that time...... You take Shiro to do it first, and I will fill in the gaps for you. ”

The fourth prince was immediately happy and agreed.

The third prince solemnly thought about whether he could bear such a responsibility, and then proposed to bring his fellow attendants in Ciqing Palace to do this. In this regard, of course, the emperor was happy to see it, and he had to praise people again.

And then, the emperor took his two sons around the huge ancient and modern Tongji library, and took down the so-called Taizu Codex from one shelf after another. The third and fourth princes were initially amazed at the memory of their father's ability to remember the exact location in the sea of books, but gradually they became a little numb.

I've seen one or twenty copies of Taizu's Codex, all of which seem to be mixed in with other books very usually, just casually placed on those shelves, if you don't know, just come in and look for it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack...... Why is my father's memory so good? It's a gift!

Just as the fourth prince was almost in self-doubt, while the third prince was thinking about how many Taizu Codex were in this ancient and modern collection library, the emperor suddenly stopped, and then said calmly: "Okay, let's stop here today, and bring you over next time, otherwise I will see that you are almost dazzled." ”

"When my father first brought me here, I was in a similar situation as you are now, and it took me a long time to write down the location of these things, and when I ascended the throne, he moved them to their new location and wrote them down again. San Lang, you will be the same in the future. ”

Seeing that the mouth of the fourth prince was even wider than that of the third prince, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, as if he saw himself when he received the same explanation from his father.

"It's just a precaution, but it's a must!"

"Prevent it from happening, a ghost! The teacher is the smartest person in the world, but I don't think he can read these books, let alone others? Besides, third brother, you and I have never entered the ancient and modern Tongji library before, and even when the important ministers of the court need to consult any books, they are all checked by the deacons over there, and few people can enter, where will the thieves suddenly enter? ”

After returning to Zhaoren Palace, the fourth prince, who had been holding back for too long, couldn't help but pull his third brother to complain. And the third prince could only smile bitterly when he heard it, because even if he had heard his father tell the story of Emperor Taizu since he was a child, he really didn't think that Emperor Taizu's strange codex was so powerful and important. However, it is impossible for him to say behind his back that his father and the ancestors are making a big fuss.

Therefore, he could only avoid the important and said lightly: "There are no thieves, there may be curious people, besides, since this is the ancestral family law, we just need to follow it." It seems that the bookshelf where this codex is hidden is really messy, so my father took us together, fourth brother, the two of us have to divide the work and memorize it separately, I don't have such a good memory as my father, you have to help me. ”

"Of course, third brother, you can rest assured!" The fourth prince agreed with his eyebrows fluttering, and after rolling into bed, he was still lying there blinking and said, "Third brother, do you think the teacher will really agree?" What was his expression when he saw Taizu's Codex? ”

"You forgot that the teacher had a codex out of the secret box! If he could solve it, I guess he would have taken it out a long time ago. The third prince said this in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that his father was probably also confused, or a dead horse was used as a live horse doctor.

Thinking about it this way, when Liang Jiucheng personally accompanied Zhang Shou into the palace the next day, the three princes who were ordered to accompany him naturally did not show the slightest discoloration. But the four princes were different, he was free from impulsiveness, he followed into the ancient and modern Tongji library, and when he saw that Liang Jiucheng was still following, he couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law Liang, have you also seen those Taizu codex?" ”

"I've been researching for decades, but unfortunately I haven't found anything." When Liang Jiucheng said this, he was calm but a little disappointed, and then sighed and said, "I have learned the characters of the major countries, and I have even been roughly exposed to a few Western characters, but I still have nothing to learn. ”

Even though he had known that this Liang Gonggong was a rare language genius, Zhang Shou on the side was still amazed. Emperor Taizu probably wouldn't know how many descendants he had pit his diary...... Of course, even if you know, people may be very proud!
