To be honest, every time he sees the prince, he has a hard scalp, although he is of the same age, he is not very similar to the prince in his bones. Of course, he is just a relative of the eunuch family, how can he compare with the prince who is full of arrogance in every move. Fortunately, it's just a companion reading in the name, and I don't really have to read and write on the road, at most I can chat with you to relieve boredom. Thinking of this, Su Xiaochen couldn't help but feel relieved for a while, and carefully wrapped the "Yun Ce" on the case in cloth, planning to read it on Li Zhong Road.

Suddenly, a crisp female voice outside the window: "Brother, look at you quite happy." I'm going to suffocate to death when you leave. ”

Su Xiaochen smiled without looking back: "Do you still have a boring time?" You are such a ghost, I am just one of the few people who have been tricked, probably Uncle Kang is going to be unlucky. ”

Ye Yin was still outside the house a moment ago, but at this moment, she suddenly jumped in front of Su Xiaochen and said with a sly smile: "Simply, let Daddy add another prince to accompany me, will I disguise myself as a man and go with you?" ”

"Okay, if you can talk about my uncle, I don't have an opinion."

Ye Yin complained: "Isn't this asking you to help think of a plan, Uncle You has taught you so much." You can't think of one to deal with Dad. ”

"Uncle You teaches all the major policies of the country, how can he teach such a trick that blinds people's eyes."

"Whose eyes are you going to see?" Ye Zhiqiu's voice sounded outside the window, bluffing Ye Yin directly from the back hall, she is not as good as her brother in terms of brains, and she is used to taking her brother's top bag.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't bother to pay attention to his daughter, and when he entered the house, he saw that Su Xiaochen had finished packing his luggage, remembering that this child had never left his side in the past ten years, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, and sighed: "You are going to travel far away, speaking of which, you are sixteen years old, and I have nothing to explain to my uncle." It's just that your aunt asked me to say a few more words, but in fact, it was all women's nagging, so I didn't listen. You must know that when I was your age, I had already traveled all over the country. It must be known that if a man does not go out, he will never be able to let go of his vision. ”

Su Xiaochen said with a smile: "The child knows that his uncle is reassuring to the child, so he doesn't want to say more, but this is the first time the child has gone far away, and he is not as well-informed as his uncle." If you can teach your child more before leaving, your child will be more sure-footed. ”

Ye Zhiqiu squinted his eyes at Su Xiaochen for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you go to Bihai, our grandfather and son won't see each other for a while, so we should gossip a few more words." With that, he sat down in front of the window. Su Xiaochen hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and asked, "Uncle should have been to the Bihai Country many times, right?" ”

"It's been about four or five times, but since I became Shangshu, I have moved around less. The blue sea country and my country are bounded by the Hanjiang River, and the customs are very different, and they make people forget to return every time. ”

"Really? How is it different? Su Xiaochen was very interested.

"Compared to the Cangwu country, the jungle is dense, and the mountains are cascading. The blue sea country is a thousand lakes and islands, a water town. Speaking of this waterfall alone, it has its own style. The waterfalls of Cangwu country are mostly high mountain meandering streams, flying straight down, resembling white smoke and silver chains. The blue sea country is full of lake water, like ten thousand horses, splashing like a mirror. It is only said that the waterfall by the Luoying Lake that has just entered the boundary of Binzhou can stretch for several miles, like a galloping horse, and it is extremely spectacular. ”

Su Xiaochen was in a trance when he heard it, the waterfall that was several miles long, how big it was, I really wanted to see it immediately. Speaking of which, my uncle almost stayed at home in his spare time, and even his aunt went to the Yudou Temple in the suburbs to make incense, and it was too far for him to accompany him, and he really didn't see that he had a preference for traveling in the mountains and rivers.

"This waterfall is not far from the post road, and you can see it a few miles north of Binzhou. Every time I go to Bihai, I take a look there, and the last time was ...... Hi, I'm talking to you about what these old things do. Speaking of teachings, my uncle really remembered something important to tell you, and you listened carefully. ”

Su Xiaochen hurriedly collected his thoughts and looked at his uncle honestly.

"This trip was accompanied by General Cao of the Yulin Army. Although people are upright, they are just a little inadequate...... Not alert enough. The most important thing for you to accompany the prince is to keep the prince safe. Uncle asks you, if there is any danger, what is the safest place? ”

Su Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "Naturally, it's General Cao's side." ”

"Not bad! He accompanied 2,000 royal armor people, and the place where he was was the safest place for the prince. So you have to be vigilant at all times and find a way not to let General Cao leave the crown prince, or let the prince leave General Cao. Although you are young, you have a green jade crown of ink leaf shirt and green jade, and if you come forward to speak at a critical moment, he will not take it as a deaf ear. ”

Su Xiaochen nodded and responded, "The child has written it down!" ”

Ye Zhiqiu looked at him with satisfaction, and there was a deep meaning in his smile.

A mirror-like waterfall...... Su Xiaochen couldn't help but be stunned in reverie.

Not long after autumn, it was time for the mission to depart.

On this day, the gate of Zhangren Palace was opened, and all the people gathered. Emperor Wen Li Houcong personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to send a delegation to Panyun Gate outside the Hanyuan Palace. As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the golden bell struck three times, and one person slowly walked out of the Panyun Gate first, it was Li Chongyan, the crown prince of the Cangwu Kingdom, followed by the mighty team of the mission.

I saw that he was wearing a gold crown inlaid with cloud silk agate, wearing a vermilion gold brocade robe, wearing a blue mink velvet on his shoulders, embroidering a picture of ten thousand pines in the Longqi Valley, and holding a purple gold copper leaf given by Emperor Wen, engraved with an ancient Wu ivy pattern. The young man's posture was upright, like a cypress facing the wind, and the people cheered and praised him.

Su Xiaochen followed behind the team and couldn't help but look around, but was glared at by Ye Zhiqiu, who was standing outside the Hanyuan Palace, and quickly retracted his head. At this time, he saw two familiar figures beside the Panyun Gate from a distance.

It's Uncle You and Princess Silverspring!

Hey, is Uncle You's body getting better? Or are you holding on to say goodbye to the princess?

Su Xiaochen saw that the two of them seemed to be arguing about something, and their faces were not very good-looking. Su Xiaochen was puzzled, and suddenly saw the princess with a gloomy face, and brushed her sleeves and got into the chariot.

No, it's not Uncle You! When Su Xiaochen was startled, he had already walked to the person with the team under his feet. Su Xiaochen bowed deeply respectfully and said, "Su Xiaochen pays a visit to Master Zuo." ”

Mu Yunzuo turned his head and saw that it was Su Xiaochen, who was completely too lazy to take care of it. This kid didn't bother to take care of it when he came to Taishi's Mansion in the past, but his brother liked him very much, and he himself had persuaded him to do something so good to the son of a small official, and he was not his own son. Yes, if it weren't for Zhu Yuxiao! How could the eldest brother not even have a biological son!

Thinking of Zhu Yuxiao, the anger that Mu Yunzuo had just suppressed was almost churning again, he waved his hand and motioned for Su Xiaochen to leave quickly.

Su Xiaochen slipped away when he saw the situation. I thought, they were all born to the same mother, and they looked exactly the same, why were their temperaments so different, and they really didn't want to stay together for a moment.

The team passed through Panyun Gate, Chenglu Gate, Yingxi Gate, and Chongjing Gate like a long snake, and finally went out of Baitai Gate, turned to the east, and hid into the mountains and forests to be out of sight. Emperor Wen took a long breath and said to himself: "This is also for the sake of the country." ”

Ye Zhiqiu, who was behind him, heard this, and sighed in his heart: "This is also for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji." ”

Whose country is it......

Cangwu country all the way to the east, to pass through Jiangzhou, Xiangzhou, Jingzhou, and cross the Hanjiang River, before entering the blue sea border. Along the way, there were 2,000 Yulin troops, 200 accompanying officials, 3 or 400 men, and a small team of 3,000 people. Fortunately, the prince is not urging, the princess is not in a hurry, everyone is playing in the mountains and rivers, shopping and eating, but also happy.

Along the way, the local yamen were all regarded as saints and came to the hotel to honor the prince with the best mountain delicacies. What is the stewed deer breast with warbler tongue grass in Minglan Mountain, the stewed beef pith with ten mushrooms in Linhua City, and a variety of famous snacks, which are sent in an endless stream every day and never be the same, and they are eaten until everyone is full of oil.

Among them, the prefect of Jingzhou is the most unique, and there is a family specializing in making mille-feuille hibiscus chestnut cake in the ancient town of Cifang under its jurisdiction, which has been done for two hundred years for eight generations. The prefect sent people to take people directly to the hotel by car, and the shop was now pinched and fried, and the food was fresh and hot.

Su Xiaochen was also stained, those officials were all elites, seeing that he was the prince's companion, he was inseparable from the prince, and he was even more attentive, and no one could miss him. It's only been half a month, and Su Xiaochen feels that his waist is thick.

The crown prince Li Chongyan has been in the posture of a prince all the way, and every time he meets an official in the state capital, he has to pretend to ask a few words about the people's livelihood and people's feelings. The officials looked at him young, guessed that he was careless, and said everything with a good face, and it was over to make him happy. Unexpectedly, although the prince has little experience, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, but he is a veteran in observing words and feelings, and he guessed the thoughts of officials. I really don't have enough knowledge in my stomach, and I can't tell the truth when I talk to officials. When I thought of it, it would be okay at this time, and if I stayed in Taiye City and was also underestimated, wouldn't I lose face, and I was quite depressed in my heart.

Among the officials of the Ministry of Rites accompanying him, there was an old student named Xun Gui, who saw it in his eyes, and took the opportunity to attach it and whispered, Your Highness, this matter is not difficult.

"If the retinue of the envoys are both literate and martial, if a pulpit is opened every evening, and a few people are selected to talk about the affairs of the world at a time, when the day of the capital of the blue sea is reached, the knowledge will be greatly improved."

"Doctor Xun's words are very good, then ask Dr. Xun to handle this matter." The prince suddenly felt that this might be a solution. Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light.

Although Xun Gui is old, he is not one of the six chiefs in the Ministry of Rites, and it took decades of seniority to win Ye Zhiqiu to call him Lord Xun politely on weekdays. Now Lord Xun has become a doctor of Xun, and he is still the prince Chrysostom. Xun Gui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he instantly felt that he was the best interpretation of the four words of Daqi Late Bloomer, and he took the order in high spirits and went. In fact, the prince just said it, and he took it seriously.

Under the hard work of "Dr. Xun", the pulpit was opened smoothly, and in order to show the virtuous and love to learn, the prince ordered that interested parties could enter the account to listen to the lecture regardless of their identity. In fact, where so many people love to listen to it, it's just to make fun for the prince, and what they say is all about local customs, and it doesn't matter. Seeing that the pulpit was about to be reduced to a tea party on the first day, the prince couldn't cry or laugh, and when he caught a glimpse of Su Xiaochen on his side, he asked him to restart the topic.
