"A long, long time later, there was an emperor, the temple name Kangxi, who inherited the throne at a very young age, well, at that time, it should not be as old as you, that is, an age that has just remembered," In the study of Liufu, Liu Yiyi glanced down at Li Zhi and said in a low voice: "At that time, the country was stable, the old emperor was newly mourned, and the court was up and down, and few ministers were willing to take this little emperor in their eyes, and there was only one queen mother in the entire palace who could still say something." However, the Empress Dowager is a woman after all, and she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, no matter how powerful she is, many things still have to be borne by the little emperor alone. ”

"Among those courtiers, there was a founding general, named Ao Bai, born with divine power, brave and invincible, known as the first warrior in the world at that time," Seeing that he had obviously attracted the attention of Xiao Li Zhi, Liu Yiyi continued: "However, this person, the power bully, did not obey the order, wantonly excluded dissidents in the court, killed Zhongliang, and on several occasions even in front of the little emperor, wielded a knife and killed the officials who opposed him. ”

"Disrespect for the Lord, disrespect for the Lord, disrespect for the Lord, and disrespect for the Lord, this person should be killed!" The little slave clenched his fists with both hands and spoke angrily.

"It should be killed, but the new monarch is weak, and Ao Bai is hidden as the head of the ministers, in charge of military power, and even a sentence can abolish the little emperor, who dares to kill him?" Taking over Li Zhi's words, Liu Yiyi asked softly disappreciatively: "If this murderous intent causes him to rebel in advance, how do you let the little emperor deal with it?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Li Zhi's little brows couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking about how to do it if he changed it, but seeing that his little brows were getting tighter and tighter, it was obvious that he didn't think of any good way.

"Therefore, the little emperor chose forbearance." After a pause, Liu Yiyi spoke again, and said: "On weekdays, I pretend to be playful and mess around, show the enemy to be weak, meet in the court, have a kind face, get close to it, worship for my birthday, go to worship in person, Ao Bai is sick, and I will personally go to visit, it looks like a gentleman and a minister, which greatly reduces the vigilance of Aobai." Behind the scenes, the little emperor paid great attention to cultivating and accumulating his own strength. ”

"The enemy is strong and I am weak, and it should be so." The little guy's brows stretched, looked up at Liu Yiyi, and said, "Later, master?" That little emperor has fought the big traitor named Ao Bai? ”

"Eight years!" Liu Yiyi said in a fixed voice: "Kangxi has endured Aobai for eight years, with a false and wronged snake, a face and a heart, and during this period, he watched Aobai kill one loyal minister after another in the court. It wasn't until the little emperor grew up to the age of sixteen that he relied on a dozen wrestling guards under his command, taking advantage of the fact that Ao Bai was not noticed, and directly restrained Ao Bai in the palace in the name of competition, and went down to the prison. At this point, the little emperor can be regarded as the real ruler of the world, and only then did he really govern the court. ”

"Good!" The little slave shouted a good word loudly, and the little adult clapped his hands and said happily: "Eight years of hibernation, a shocking flight!" As a ruler, it should be! ”

"Hehe, do you know why the teacher wants to set up a separate class for you?" Sitting at the head of the class, Liu Yiyi picked up the tea bowl and looked down at Li Zhi, and asked lightly.

"Because of being a student?" The little slave tentatively asked Liu Yiyi, in fact, when Liu Yiyi began to prepare to teach them separately, Li Zhi already had this idea in his heart.

"Not bad!" Liu Yiyi nodded in response, glanced at the prince student with satisfaction, and said: "Because you are the prince and the prince, as long as the new emperor does not ascend the throne one day, you will have the opportunity to become the crown prince, so there are some things that I hope you can get in touch with earlier." Even if he can't become the crown prince in the future, he can still have some means of self-preservation, at least to become a free and idle prince, and it will not be difficult to enjoy his life in peace. ”

"The master laughed, the prince's elder brother is Zhenglong, and the student has no extravagant hopes for the position of the crown prince." After his eyes lit up suddenly, the little guy replied in a low voice with a sincere and frightened look: "And the prince's brother is benevolent by nature, if he is the emperor, he will never kill his siblings." ”

"Hehe, there are some things that you can't just forget about what you think or say." Smiling and shaking his head lightly, Liu Yiyi lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Besides, no one can say what will happen in the future, but learning more things is not a bad thing for you." ”

"Yes, master! Thank you for your teaching! Bowing his head, Li Zhi respectfully bowed to Liu Yiyi.

"Also, what the teacher told you in class," glanced down at Li Zhi, and Liu Yiyi continued: "If the emperor asks, you can tell it bluntly, as for the others, including the queen mother, and your prince's brother, remember to keep your mouth shut, otherwise, it will be a disaster for you and for the teacher." ”

"Yes, master, the student wrote it down." Li Zhizheng replied: "Unless my father asks, what Mr. said in class will not come out of the students' mouths." ”

"Well, okay, let's tell you some things about the little Emperor Kangxi when he grows up." Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Yiyi raised his hand and put the tea bowl on the table, and then the story above said: "Emperor Kangxi had twenty-four sons, among them, the eldest is the crown prince, incompetent and ruthless, and the second is ......"

"The day before yesterday, when you were in a high fever, a big event happened in the court." Seeing her son wake up, Empress Changsun waved her hand and retreated left and right, stretched out her hand to take the hot ginseng soup that the palace maid had placed on the table next to her, and whispered while feeding Li Chengqian: "That little Lan'er of the Gongsun family came back from the northwest, and she went crazy, and she also beat General Gongsun Wude. ”

"Gongsun Helan?" Li Chengqian obediently opened his mouth to drink the ginseng soup, and when he heard what Empress Changsun said, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly: "What kind of big deal is this?" Compared to the things he had done in the Northwest before......"

"Huh? What did the Queen Mother just say? Say he's crazy? After a pause, Li Chengqian said: "Yes, I transferred troops without authorization and lightly provoked the war between the two countries; The abduction of princesses from other countries is an insult to the Tang Dynasty. Investigate it, any one is enough to lose the head, crazy heart? Heh, that's a good excuse. However, can he believe his father? ”

Because the feud between him and Liu Yiyi has been clarified, for people like Gongsun Helan who have an irreversible relationship with Liu Yiyi, Li Chengqian no longer has too many scruples, and he has no desire to hide his likes and dislikes.

"Why can't you believe it?" Glancing at her son who was a little gloating, Empress Changsun sighed lightly and shook her head slightly, and said: "In fact, your father not only believed it, but also took advantage of this to exempt Gongsun Helan from all the previous crimes, so that he could recuperate at home with peace of mind, and specially sent a full-time imperial doctor to diagnose him in Gongsun General's Mansion. ”

"How so?!" Li Chengqian said softly in surprise: "Father and the emperor have always been as wise as a torch and distinguish between right and wrong, how can he not see the bitter meat and tricks played by his grandson and son? ”

"Hmm, no, no, it's impossible for him not to see it," as if he had guessed something, Li Chengqian frowned slightly, and whispered softly: "But since you see it but don't point it out, it is deliberate connivance and acquiescence, what is my father doing this for?" It's a ......."

Some suddenly raised his head and glanced at Empress Changsun, and Li Chengqian asked in a low voice with some uncertainty: "Could it be that my father wants to use troops against Gaochang?" ”

If that's the case, then this Gongsun Helan's luck is too good, right? Turning the crime into merit, it just scratched the itch of the father, thinking about what the father thinks, what the father thinks, if all this is just a coincidence, it is too terrible.

Unconsciously, Liu Yiyi's figure appeared in Li Chengqian's head, and he always felt that the coincidences and luck encountered by Gongsun Helan should have a lot to do with this person, or that these things were originally designed by him, and everything that happened afterwards was also expected by him.

"Being able to guess this shows that you are not too stupid, and the prince of these years has not been in vain," glanced at Li Chengqian with satisfaction, and the eldest grandson Empress handed out another spoonful of ginseng soup, and said softly: "Your father and emperor have indeed moved the idea of sending troops, but it is now at the end of the year, and it is inappropriate to send troops, so at least after the spring ploughing." In other words, you have at least three months to recuperate. ”

"What do you mean by the queen mother?" Li Chengqian turned his head to the Empress of the Eldest Sun suspiciously: "Could it be that this expedition to Gaochang is the emperor's intention to make his sons and daughters commanders?" ”

"No, your father didn't mention it," shook his head lightly, and Empress Changsun said lightly: "It is the mother's intention to let you go to Gaochang, and after three months, no matter whether your body is completely healed or not, you have to take the initiative to ask for battle, and ask your father to allow you to go with the army." ”

"Why?" Li Chengqian is still puzzled, I don't know why he has always felt sorry for his mother, why did he ruthlessly push himself to the battlefield this time?

"Because this is your last chance!" When the soup was at the bottom, Empress Changsun casually put the empty bowl back and said: "Because of the previous assassination, your father and emperor have been very disappointed in you, if it weren't for the royal face, I'm afraid you would have been driven out of the East Palace and abolished the crown prince." ”

"This trip to Gaochang, although it is dangerous, but if it is done well, it is not a great merit to be unpaid, and it can change some of your father's mind." Empress Changsun continued: "Also, Gaochang's national strength has always been weak, and the war will not last, compared with several other countries around the Tang Dynasty, it is not a hard bone, my son went out with the army, it can be regarded as an extra point of insurance, as long as it sits safely in the army, all the military are subject to the appointment of the commander, and there will be no great danger." ”

"When the war is over, my son will triumph with the army as the crown prince, and it will definitely make your father and many generals and officials in the court look at you differently, and the position of the crown prince of your East Palace can also be more stable."
