Prince Liu Ju has been feeling a little depressed recently. Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, the years go by, people grow up, and they are no longer the ignorant children.

Although he is still in the palace, it's just that since he was made the crown prince and moved into Bowangyuan, he began to dislike this kind of day day by day. It is almost the same monotony and dullness, under the teaching of a few dull masters, repeatedly studying those old scriptures, and accepting those empty and boring truths.

When will such a day be the end? remembered that when he was a child, when his father went to Shanglin Yuan to hunt, he would occasionally take himself, although the number of times was not much, but it was enough to make him excited for a long time. Now, however, even those few rights have been denied.

“…… You are the prince of the country, the future emperor, and you shoulder the heavy trust of the people of the world. Therefore, the prince should be free of distractions, comprehend these sage books wholeheartedly, and learn the way to govern the country in them, which is the ...... the most important thing for the prince to do. ”

This kind of nagging has to be repeated several times a day. Several Bowangyuan masters, led by the prince and the prince named Shi De, can be described as serious and well-intentioned.

The crown prince had a bitter face, he really couldn't see any great principles of governing the country in these scriptures. Whenever the stern masters taught him over and over again, he forced himself to accept this inhumanity, and at the same time, he was already wandering in his heart, and he did not know where he had gone.

There are many rare and exotic trees in Bowang Garden, although it is the season of falling leaves, but far and near are scattered, colorful, but it is poetic and picturesque, and there is the beauty of the scenery.

Liu Ju was in the wooden window of a lecture building, and from time to time he looked out that Shi De was teaching "The Way of the University", immersed in his own world, and did not realize that the person being taught had been absent-minded for a long time.

In such a season, outside Chang'an City, there should be a good scenery of high ground and wide sky, right? I don't know, what Brother Yuan is busy with these days, he hasn't come here to visit for a long time, Liu Ju's heart can't help but worry.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he threw down the book in his hand, and ran out quickly without even having time to greet the master who was talking.

Shi De was stunned for a moment, got up at the desk, and when he followed to look, he saw that the prince had already rushed out of the small building, passed through half of the courtyard, and ran to a person who walked in front of him with a happy face, the man stopped and looked at him with a smile, and the two looked at each other with arms, very happy.

Shi De sighed silently, his face gloomy. Of course, he knew who the man was, and the prince had a deep friendship with this person, and he didn't know how they met. Changle Hou Yuanzhao, a figure who had already made a name for himself, in the eyes of many people like Shi De, did not approve of the prince's intimate relationship with him.

This man is dangerous! What he did was often unexpected and deviant. No one can see his bottom line, and no one can clearly know the origin of his bottom line.

Yuan Zhao's recklessness has a sense of fear in the hearts of many ministers, and there is an invisible sense of alienation. Because, they sensed that he was not of the same kind. Yuan Zhao once dragged the entire Xungui group to bury her for the death of a singer who was a performer, and his heroic behavior was praised by the people all over the world, and at the same time, it also made many ministers secretly hold hatred and doubts.

There is a huge gap between the different identities, and the value of life between the nobles and the commoners can be equal? Therefore, the words that Yuan Zhao said to the people of Chang'an next to the rubble burned by the fire became the origin of the secret hostility of many people towards him.

It's really not a good thing for the prince to be friends with such a person! We must find an opportunity to separate their relationship, this is the consensus that Shi De and all the prince's masters have reached in secret.

Now that Yuan Zhao is here, to get rid of the boredom of reading, of course, there is the best excuse. Liu Ju was so excited, he took Yuan Zhao's arm and went all the way back to his palace, chattering and asking questions.

Listening to Yuan Zhao talk about some new things that happened on Changle Plateau recently, Liu Ju's face showed a look of yearning.

"Brother Yuan, are those ships really as big as you say? I've never been on a boat since I've grown up. I really want to sit on it one day, the waves are surging at my feet, and there is an endless river in front of me...... Wow! That's a ...... That's great! ”

A bird that has not soared in the sky can only imagine the immensity of the sky. Fish who have not fought the wind and waves can only imagine the vastness of the rivers and seas. Yuan Zhao looked at the prince raised in the deep palace, and there was a faint pity in his heart.

"If it's possible, I'll take you there so you can have a good experience."

"Really?! Brother Yuan, you will never lie to me, you must speak and count! ”

"Of course. However, this requires the approval of His Majesty the Emperor. You have a different identity now, and you can't just leave the palace. ”

"Oh, that's right...... Alas! I really don't know what kind of ...... this prince has. ”

Liu Ju's expression was a little gloomy, thinking that he didn't know how many years he had to endure such a dull day in the palace, his words brought complaints.

"Brother Yuan, if you learn the sage books of those predecessors, can you really understand the great principles of governing the world? But I've been studying for so long, and all I feel is that it's been a cliché. If you are a prince, you must learn these, and the days in the palace are really boring. Could it be that my father came over like this back then? ”

The royal education method, Yuan Zhao has always scoffed, no matter which dynasty it is, it is much the same. It's almost like raising a pig. "Born in the deep palace and grown up in the hands of women", the prince of a country who grew up in this way, except for the occasional normal point, most of them are waste materials, I don't know what the people's suffering is, and I don't know how to govern the country. When the so-called king comes to the world, he will either become a tool borrowed by the courtiers in the court struggle, or grow into a lavish and extravagant king.

"Don't worry now, in the past few years, it's all about honing your mind. Well, the academy on Changle Plateau is about to be built, and you can go there as often as you want. You may learn something different there. ”

Liu Ju was overjoyed when he heard this, and he asked with some disbelief: "Can I really go?" I don't know if this is in line with the imperial court etiquette...... Do you think my father will agree?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will definitely agree. The reason why this academy was established in the first place was not because His Majesty wanted the children of the royal family to learn more knowledge. ”

Speaking of which, Yuan Zhao felt that he should give this prince who didn't like to learn a little encouragement, at such a young age, he was afraid of hardship, so where could he do it! He suppressed the secret smile in his heart, made a serious look, and looked directly into Liu Ju's eyes.

"You are the crown prince, and you should be well-informed and knowledgeable. In this world, there are many unknown things waiting for us to explore, understand, and master. Our great Han Empire has a vast land, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and you must not only manage it well in the future, but also make the people living on it healthy and prosperous. As long as you do a good job, in the future history, your name will naturally be passed down for generations to come. ”

The prince's body began to tremble, his face showed an excited look, there was an enthusiastic light in his eyes, and the prospect of Yuan Zhao's flickering made him look forward to it.

And the premise of all this is that you have to have a wise mind, a sharp mind, and a wide range of knowledge. So, just do your best! The way of civil and martial arts, the insight of the world, and the mysteries of heaven and earth will be provided to you in the future Chang'an College. Sit firmly in the position of the crown prince, and you will definitely become stronger and stronger. ”

Liu Ju remembered Yuan Zhao's words in his heart. Since he met him, he had never said a word of thanks, but Liu Ju knew that the person in front of him was the most important friend in his life.

"Huh! The kid's big truth is good. Why didn't I have these words in front of me? Hum! ”

An abrupt voice sounded from outside the door, and Emperor Liu Che strode in, walked straight to the middle and sat down, glanced at the two of them, and the look in his eyes was meaningful.

Yuan Zhao and Liu Ju hurriedly bowed down, the emperor walked over, and the guards outside naturally had no one to report, and I don't know how long he had been listening to the root of the wall, and this hobby? Yuan Zhao secretly slandered himself. There was a skirt floating by him, and the fragrance lingered, but it was Wei Zifu who walked in.

Yuan Zhao saluted her again, and Mrs. Wei smiled at him and nodded, her eyes gentle, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

"How did my mother have the time to come with my father?"

Liu Ju gradually grew up, so naturally he could no longer throw himself in her arms like when he was a child, and after helping her sit down, he snuggled up to her.

"Hehe, your father is very popular today. So his mother accompanied him around the palace. ”

"What? What kind of person is so bold that he dares to make his father angry. Say that you know with the child, and you will not spare him! ”

Liu Ju looked indignant. Yuan Zhao touched his nose on the side, and when he looked up, he saw the emperor's eyes staring at him, and the corners of his mouth sneered.

"Emperor, the person who makes my father angry is this guy next to you. How, what do you want to do with him? ”

“…… Yes? Brother Yuan...... That, you guys...... Hehe! The child is still young, he is not familiar with political affairs, and everything is subject to his father's judgment. ”

"Well, Your Majesty, don't blame them. But just now, His Majesty ordered someone to summon Brother Yuan'er, only to know that he did not leave the palace, but came to Ju'er, you, so His Majesty came by himself. ”

Mrs. Wei said a few words with a smile on the side, and secretly gave Yuan Zhao a look and asked him to reply carefully.

Sure enough, as he expected, this is to chase Xingshi and ask for guilt. Yuan Zhao is not in a hurry, there are some things that are ready to be talked to him well, here, it is very appropriate.

"Let's talk about it, why did you meet the Huainan envoy in private and fight against the Tingwei Mansion?" Emperor Liu Che looked at Yuan Zhao calmly and asked the doubts in his heart.
