The quiz game was soon over, and after each of the nine princes had answered a question correctly, none of them continued to answer the question, giving the opportunity to the princesses.

After all, most of these riddles are too simple, and if you answer too many questions, they will look ugly and easy to attract criticism from others.

Rather than this, it is better to give it to those princesses generously, and also appear to be open-minded.

Thinking about it, even Qilin'er Zhao Hongzhao took the initiative to withdraw, how could the rest of the princes be embarrassed to answer those riddles again and again? Could it be that they boast that they are even more talented than Zhao Hongzhao? Don't say that others don't believe it, even they don't believe it.

Under the concession of the princes, the princesses can be said to have returned with a full load, and they have gained a lot of jade bracelets, hostas and other ornaments.

There is only one princess who is just like the princes, who only answers one question correctly and does not continue.

"It's her ......"

Zhao Hongrun glanced sideways at the princess, and his expression was a little weird.

Probably noticing Zhao Hongrun's gaze, the princess also turned her gaze suspiciously.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to drink.

At this time, Zhao Hongzhao, the sixth prince in the seat on the left, coughed in a low voice and frequently signaled Zhao Hongrun with his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at the Sixth Emperor Brother suspiciously, but saw that the Sixth Emperor Brother motioned for him to look in the middle with his eyes.

Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at the middle seat in confusion, and then frowned and realized that Hongli, the prince of the East Palace, was counting him to the Son of Heaven.

“…… Therefore, the emperor felt that he should shoulder the obligation to teach the emperor's younger brother. The emperor hopes that his father can make the eighth brother come to my East Palace to study, and the young masters and lecturers in my East Palace are all well-educated, and I believe that the eighth brother will definitely improve under their teaching. ”

Zhao Hongrun didn't pay attention to all the words of the crown prince Hongli because he was secretly paying attention to the relationship between the princess, but only the second half of the story was enough to make him frown.

He didn't listen to it completely, but the Son of Heaven did.

The Son of Heaven frowned slightly, and suddenly saw that Zhao Hongrun also turned his head to look at the prince of the East Palace, so he asked: "Hongrun, your eldest brother said that you have become more and more stubborn recently, and you have been punished by the sect, and you will be asked to go to his East Palace to study, and the young masters and lecturers of the East Palace will teach you, what do you think?" ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Made, is this an eye medicine for me?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the East Palace Prince Hongli expressionlessly, in fact, there was no need for the Sixth Emperor Brother Zhao Hongzhao to shake his head at this time, he also understood that it would be detrimental to him to resolutely refuse at this time.

After all, the crown prince Hongli said it very beautifully, and used the words "as the eldest son of the emperor but did not take on the responsibility of teaching the emperor's younger brother", and "I feel ashamed" to gag his mouth, if he Zhao Hongrun still insisted on rejecting the prince's "kindness" at this time, he would undoubtedly sit back and watch the stubborn mistake of "not learning and not knowing".

But if he agrees, it means that he may not have any chance to go out of the palace to play in the future. No matter what purpose the prince of the East Palace asked him to enroll in the East Palace, he would no longer be as free as he was now.

"Then it's decided."

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun had a cold face and didn't speak, the Son of Heaven decided for him.

"Thank you father, the emperor will definitely teach Hongrun well."

Prince Hongli also sat down satisfied.

In the seat on his right hand, King Yong Hongyu glanced sideways at Prince Hongli, and his expression was a little solemn.

Needless to say, this is the intention of the prince of the East Palace: Aren't you trying to win over the eighth brother, I will directly pull him to my East Palace Academy, first, it can be used as a warning for beating, and secondly, there is a chance to guide and win over, in short, no matter what, I will not let you get your wish.

This is the meaning expressed in the eyes of the crown prince Hongli looking at King Yong.

And in this regard, Yongwang Hongyu has nothing to do, after all, Prince Hongli's rhetoric is really beautiful, and he can't find a loophole that can refute it.

It's just that Zhao Hongrun suffered and became a sacrifice in the secret battle between the prince and King Yong.

No, Zhao Hongrun's complexion has become extremely ugly.

If it was only slightly biased towards Yongwang Hongyu before, then now, Zhao Hongrun is already hostile to Prince Hongli, after all, the latter has hindered him.

You must know that in order to leave the palace freely, Zhao Hongrun even had the courage to go against his father, and now the prince Hongli is taking advantage of the cheapness of his rhetoric to hinder him from going out of the palace to enjoy freedom, so the prince Hongli is an enemy in the eyes of Zhao Hongrun.

And looking at the eighth son drinking fruit wine cup by cup with frosty face, the Son of Heaven shook his head quietly, and his eyes swept over the faces of Prince Hongli and King Yongyu.

"Prince...... It's a miscalculation.'"

The Son of Heaven sighed secretly.

In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, don't look at Zhao Hongrun at this moment, but this does not mean that this son admits it, according to the Son of Heaven's understanding of this son, Zhao Hongrun at this time is like the calm before the storm, and nine times out of ten he is considering countermeasures, just like when he rebelled against his father.

However, the Son of Heaven still approves of the method of the prince of the East Palace, after all, it is a means within the rules, and it is indeed very clever. The premise is that the prince of the East Palace really has the mind and means to suppress the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun.

If he were to be replaced by the rest of the princes, the Son of Heaven would not be easy to evaluate, but for the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun, to be honest, the Son of Heaven was not optimistic about the prince's means, and he was even ready that the eighth prince Hongrun, who had always been stubborn, would one day turn the entire East Palace upside down.

However, it turned out later that even so, the Son of Heaven underestimated his eighth son.

The family banquet continued, as if the prince of the East Palace had never challenged the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun.

After the three rounds of drinking, it was the time when the princes showed their recent achievements to the Son of Heaven.

First of all, the most anticipated sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao chanted a song in the palace that he prepared in advance for today's Dragon Boat Festival family banquet "Banquet Fu", the exquisite rhetoric as always won the attention of everyone in the hall, and even the Son of Heaven frequently praised it.

Although the rest of the princes did not have the intelligence of this Qilin'er, they also chanted a few poems to help the fun, and Zhao Hongrun's youngest brother Hongxuan chanted a first-man speech with emotion, and the Son of Heaven also rewarded him.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun was still expressionless, and everyone could see that the eighth prince was in a bad mood.

And this time, even the Son of Heaven didn't take the initiative to ask again, after all, he also knew that this son was on the verge of a seizure at the moment because of the trouble of the crown prince Hongli.

Finally, it was the finale of the prince of the East Palace.

I saw the prince of the East Palace, Hongli, get up and said: "Father, these days, the emperor, the young master of the East Palace, and the lecturers have compiled a new book on the basis of the speeches of the sages of the past dynasties, and I invite my father to take a look. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Writing a new book? Is this a statement?

You must know that Confucianism has the saying of "three stands", that is, "three immortals", that is, "virtue", "meritorious service", and "speech", to put it bluntly, it is to be a person, to do things, and to do learning, and among them, "words" has the greatest influence on contemporary times, even if the prince Hongli took a clever approach and compiled this book with the help of the wisdom of the young master of the East Palace and others, but as long as this book is released to the world, the prince's prestige will immediately reach its peak.

After all, not all articles written by everyone are qualified to be called "books".

No, all the princes who were interested in the throne, their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly, especially King Yong's reputation.

"He ...... Compiled a book?'

Yongwang Hongyu subconsciously clenched his fists. You must know that once the Son of Heaven approves of the book compiled by the prince of the East Palace and shows it off to the courtiers in the court meeting, this book will immediately become a popular trend in the Great Wei today, and at that time, the prestige of the prince of the East Palace Hongli will reach its peak, and it is no longer something they can shake.

The princes looked at the young master of the East Palace, who was accompanying the crown prince, and respectfully presented the newly compiled book in front of the Son of Heaven's case.

"This time, Hongli is ahead of the rest of the brothers......

The Son of Heaven sighed secretly.

In all fairness, the Son of Heaven did not think that the intelligence of the crown prince Hongli was among the best among the children, but it was undeniable that there were clever courtiers in the East Palace who acted as the prince's think tank.

No, a new book is compiled, and the status of the crown prince will be difficult to shake.

"Read." The Son of Heaven gestured to the great eunuch Tong Xian with his eyes.

Suddenly, the entire hall was silent, and only Tong Xian was heard reading the new book compiled by the crown prince Hongli in a sharp voice.

Compared with the whispered praise that appeared in the concubine banquet and the public chairman, Yongwang Hongyu and the others listened carefully, hoping to find any loopholes in the book, because this would be their only chance to counterattack.

But unfortunately, since the prince has the confidence to come up with this new book, he has the confidence that these brothers will not be able to pick out the thorns.

"It's over......

Yongwang Hongyu and Xiangwang Hongjing were all discouraged, because they were in chaos, and they couldn't pick out any thorns from the book.

And at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Wait!"

"......" Tong Xian's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the place where the voice came from in confusion.

The seat of the eighth prince, Zhao Hongrun.

"Why interrupted, Hongrun?" The Son of Heaven frowned and asked, knowing that he was also listening carefully.

After all, putting aside the open and secret struggles of the princes, it is also an honor for the Son of Heaven that his son can compile a new book.

In full view of everyone, Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince, got up and left the table, slowly walked to Tong Xian, took the book in the latter's hand in the puzzled eyes of everyone, and flipped through the pages from beginning to end.

He flipped through it quickly, as if it were ten lines at a glance, and a page at a glance.

After about a cup of tea, he casually threw the book in his hand to Tong Xian, and sneered with disdain: "I just said how did you hear it so familiarly, it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found a book out of nowhere, and lied that it was a new work...... Is there such a fool? ”

"Hongrun, don't talk about it!" The prince of the East Palace, Hongli, was full of anger, knowing that it was not easy for them to compile and summarize the remarks of their ancestors and write a new book.

The Son of Heaven raised his hand to interrupt the prince's words, frowned and asked Zhao Hongrun: "You said that this book is not a new work by the prince?" ”

"Yes, this book was written by an anonymous person. Although the emperor is stubborn, he happened to see it. ”

"......" The Son of Heaven glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply, and said lightly: "What evidence do you have?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun maliciously glanced at the angry prince of the East Palace, and sneered: "Please ask my father to give the emperor a pen and paper, and the emperor will write it out silently." ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Take a pen and paper." ”

Tong Xian immediately ordered someone to set up a new case in the case of the Son of Heaven, and put pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the case.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun didn't talk nonsense, knelt down on the seat, took a pen, and silently wrote the so-called ancient book made by an unknown person on the paper.

While he was writing, Tong Xian, the great eunuch next to him, looked at the book newly compiled by the crown prince Hongli in his hand, and his face showed a look of horror.

"How?" The Son of Heaven asked in a low voice.

I saw Tong Xian glance at Zhao Hongrun, who was still writing hard, swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "So far...... Word for word! ”

"What?!" The Son of Heaven was immediately moved, got up and walked behind Zhao Hongrun, and watched with wide eyes as this son wrote the entire book silently.

About half an hour later, Zhao Hongrun finished writing the last word, got up and threw the brush in his hand.

At this time, even the Son of Heaven was dumbfounded.

Because the whole text written by Zhao Hongrun is exactly the same as the new book compiled by Prince Hongli!

At this time, Zhao Hongrun looked at the stunned Prince of the East Palace with both hands behind his back, and sneered faintly.

"It's a shame to steal the place of our ancestors like this! …… It seems that the bachelor of the East Palace is not worthy of being my teacher! ”

The huge Wende Hall was suddenly silent.
