After Liu Biao instructed the two, he also said goodbye to Ban Tian in the East Palace, and at this time Shi Jia also took the edict of General Feng Feng and Ban Biao from Liu Zheng, and at this time Liu Kang and Liu Xing had also rushed to Dingtao and Zhongshan.

In the front hall of the East Palace, Shi Jia walked in from outside with some fatigue, "Prince, all the things have been packed up, I don't know when we will leave?" ”

When Ban Tian heard Shi Jia's words, he touched his heart, and said to Liu Biao with some frustration, "Prince, this is a long way to go, please be careful, don't reveal the news and attract Fu Zhaoyi's people." ”

Liu Biao looked at Ban Tian with some sadness, "Don't worry, there will be absolutely nothing wrong, everything is expected, and the two people I am looking for are masters, one knows martial arts, the other is rich, don't worry at all." ”

"That's good, the concubine can't speak, so let's play a song to see off the prince." Ban Tian said and played the piano, and Liu Biao also nodded, so let him play a song.

"Xiao Jia, otherwise you can go with the two of them, there are still young and old in the family, and this prince really can't let go, what do you think?" Liu Biao said helplessly.

Shi Jia immediately waved his hand, "This is not good, the matter was arranged by you, you asked me to travel around the country as a eunuch, and I can't say where I go, besides, the right of a slave can't control these two talents." ”

Liu Biao nodded slightly, feeling that it was the same, "Since this is the case, then you will go to the frontier and give them the titles of Ban Biao and Feng Yewang, so you will not be idle." ”

"Prince, this is a long way, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there." Shi Jia said with some sadness.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what can you do, I said you can go if you go, we will part ways when we leave the capital, and after the things over there are done, it's not too late to return to my side, and the prince of the province will have to run in person." Liu Biao said a little ruthlessly, where did Shi Jia dare to refute, so he had to nod again and again.

After arranging everything, Liu Biao did it very comfortably in front of Ban Tian, "Xiao Jia, pour a cup of tea for Prince Ben, I want to listen to the little song of the seventh son." ”

Before the song ended, Queen Wang came to the East Palace from Changle Palace, "Son, I heard that you are going to play outside time, it is best to dispel this matter quickly!" ”

Liu Biao was startled by Wang Zhengjun's shouting, and immediately asked Ban Tian to stop the song, and then motioned for him to return to the apse.

"Queen Mother, what are you doing, I just went out to have a look, and I will come back in a few days, my father agreed to this matter, and he didn't say anything, why didn't the queen mother agree!" Liu Biao said helplessly.

Wang Zhengjun took away the stone armor at the same time, so that only the mother and son were left in the entire hall, and Wang Zhengjun said in a low voice: "Things are much more complicated than you think, if you are not careful, your life will be gone." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Biao asked with some confusion, obviously not believing Queen Wang's words.

"I said, stupid boy, why are you so naïve? Thinking about it, there are only three princes in this palace, Liu Xingnai was born to Feng Zhaoyi, he is respectful and humble, and he will definitely not be embarrassed by you, but it is Fu Zhaoyi's son Liu Kang, his son has long coveted the position of the crown prince, although he has been in the country this time, but you still don't know what is going on, he is not ruthless, but his mother is a ruthless character. ”

"My mother's family, the Wang family, has returned to the fiefdom, so naturally it can't be compared with Fu Zhaoyi's mother's family, so son, after you go out, it is very likely that you will be plotted by Fu Zhaoyi, it's okay, if something happens, you can't find out who did it, then Liu Kang will definitely be justified in ascending to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme!" Queen Wang said very seriously.

Liu Biao listened, but just breathed a long sigh of relief, "Queen Mother, you can rest assured about this matter, it will never happen, there are people around me, and I heard that Fu Zhaoyi only has one younger brother Fu Yan is a little famous, and the others are all mediocre people, so they will definitely refuse to do this, and the queen mother should contain him in the palace, so as not to cause trouble, why let my son worry, and not let Fu Zhaoyi worry?" ”

Queen Wang was a little speechless, judging from this situation, Liu Biao was determined to go out, and she couldn't persuade her, so she said with some compromise: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore, although the queen mother is the boss in the palace, she is still not as favored as Fu Zhaoyi, but I will secretly send someone to protect you so that you are not threatened." ”

"That's fine, as long as my mother arranges it, it's not too early, I'll leave first." Liu Biao said that he was about to leave the palace.

Queen Wang immediately grabbed Liu Biao's arm, "Son, go and see your cousin Wang Mang before leaving, I don't know what the situation is in the capital these days, as the queen, it is inconvenient for me to go out of the palace, you better go and see." ”

"Who is Wang Mang's cousin studying with now? Can the queen mother tell me one or two? Liu Biao asked with some curiosity, since the last time Mingtang was farewell, there was indeed very little news of Wang Mang.

"It's at the west gate of the capital, where there is a school, teaching is Mr. Chen, you can find it when you arrive, that Mr. is also a well-known Confucian, he rarely accepts apprentices, and I don't know how your cousin enters." Wang Zhengjun said with some curiosity.

"Okay, I know, the queen mother will be busy first, and I will solve anything myself." Liu Biao said with a smile as he walked towards the outside of the palace.

Wang Zhengjun saw that his son was a little cynical, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so he had to visit Ban Tian in the inner hall, and Ban Tian's performance made Wang Zhengjun satisfied these days.

Outside the palace gate, Shi Jia had been waiting for a long time, "Prince, you have finally finished speaking, we can set off now, right?" ”

"Let's go to the west gate to see my cousin Wang Mang first, and then go to the east gate to meet those two boys, it's still too late, and I haven't forgotten to bring anything, right?" Liu Biao finally asked.

"Don't worry, the prince has everything with you!" Shi Jia touched his chest after saying that, and it was full of edicts or something.

The two went to the West Gate and didn't say anything, first said that since Wang Mang left Mingtang, he went to the academy to study, in fact, this matter was not Wang Mang's attention, it was completely Liu Xin's decision.

Wang Mang is a decent person, without any fault, and usually Stan rarely reprimands him, only this Liu Xin talks a lot, and the capital confronts Mr. Stan in the capital.

Sometimes, what Liu Xin said makes sense, but Shi Danai is a university scholar, and it is difficult to refute his own face, so he has to shut up Liu Xin.

For example, this fierce ceremony, Liu Xin said that the sad person can cry, why bother everyone to cry, the emperor's family died, and not the relatives next to him died, and the ceremony was simple, why be so extravagant and wasteful.

For this, Stan also thinks it makes sense, but these are all treasures left by the ancients, how can they say that they can be changed, Stan can't hold his face, so he rarely cares about Liu Xin.

Liu Xin saw that Stan deliberately avoided him, and he was also very unhappy in his heart, so he felt that this teacher was just blindly catering to the prince, so he discussed with Wang Mang and wanted to leave Mingtang.

In the Ming Hall that day, there were only the two of them, and Liu Xin directly pulled Wang Mang aside, "I said Brother Wang Mang, it's not good to study here, let's find another master." ”

Wang Mang was a little dazed. "What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you usually see this Mingtang's performance? If the prince comes, Mr. Stan will be like seeing his father, flattering, lest he do something inconsiderate. ”

"Look at it again, when the prince is not there, Mr. Stan's attitude, like someone owes him a thousand dollars, he doesn't give people a good face at all, these ancient classics, what research can we two little broken children have, I think it's better to let Mr. Stan teach the prince alone, and we won't join in the fun." Liu Xin said matter-of-factly.

Wang Mang's face was a little suspicious, and he said a little immaturely: "Isn't that Feng Jun still studying in Mingtang?" Isn't he usually a good learner? ”

Liu Xin glanced at Wang Mang with some disdain, "You are an honest man, you look at the prince's attitude towards him, you look at his family's background, and by the way, look at his age, first of all, the prince cares about him very much, and asks him about everything, which also makes Stan very attentive to him, and secondly, his father is a captain, in charge of all the soldiers in the capital, who dares not to respect him, and his age is fourteen or fifteen years old, as long as he has a little foundation, he doesn't need to be taught by others at all, he can learn anything." ”

Wang Mang was a little tempted by what Liu Xin said, "It seems to be such a truth, but Mr. Stan was recommended by everyone, and his talent has nothing to say, if we leave, where can we find such a good teacher." ”

"You don't understand, his reputation is for His Majesty, in fact, there is not much in the stomach, I heard that Mr. Ximen Chen, who doesn't like official careers, opened a school there, specializing in teaching children who are willing to learn, this is the demeanor of a master in the world." Liu Xin said proudly.

"Well, why don't we quit the teacher of this Mingtang first, and then go and see?" Wang Mang said seriously.

"That's okay, let's say tomorrow, we don't think we're old, if we leave, Teacher Stan won't take it seriously, and will definitely be willing to let us go." Liu Xin said confidently.

So, the two agreed, and at the same time explained the matter to Mr. Stan , and the situation was just as they said, Stan really didn't take it seriously, and let them go back without notifying the queen.

The matter is not over here, Wang Mang left the Ming Hall, and returned to Liu Xin's house with Liu Xin, Liu Xiang was surprised to see Liu Xin come back.

What a proud thing to study in the palace, these two little rabbit cubs actually said goodbye to Teacher Stan, how can he find such a good teacher as his mother.

"You two boys, you can really do things!" Liu Xiang said angrily.

"Dad, you don't have to worry, we have already found a good teacher, it is Mr. Chen from Ximen, you don't have to worry!" Liu Xin said in a low voice.

Liu Xiang angrily snorted, "You know a fart, you can't believe that he is an old boy who charges a lot, who will teach you to go to tuition, and I don't agree with that old boy's three views, if you go, you can figure it out yourself, and ah, I've already had a fight with Mr. Chen, I'm afraid he won't accept you." ”

Liu Xin listened, he was very helpless, and turned to Wang Mang and said: "Look at this, I can't go, my dad must have fought with Mr. Chen, or let's try it first, see the situation, if I can't go, work in the library, let my father teach me." ”

"This is good, I think I will let Wang Mang go to find a job, son, you will stay in the royal library and write a book with your father, if there is anything that you can't do, I will teach you personally, and I will pay all Wang Mang's tuition!" Liu Xiang said very seriously.

When Wang Mang was eight or nine years old, he had to obey Liu Xiang's arrangement and came to Mr. Chen's door alone, where the old boy was teaching students.

Suddenly, a housekeeper came to report that there was a child guarding the door, saying that he wanted to see Mr., Mr. Chen was quite surprised when he heard it, and he was very surprised that there were very few eight or nine years old who came here to study, so he might as well go out and have a look.

"Old butler, what gift does the boy have?" Mr. Chen asked in a low voice.

"No, I came empty-handed, and it was Liu Xiang who sent him, I guess he is a child with a background." The old butler said very seriously.

When Mr. Chen heard this, he was very annoyed, "His mother was originally introduced by Liu to this kid, I think he gave it to me because he couldn't teach it, and I don't see it!" ”

"Don't, that kid is very polite, he's a malleable talent, it's better to see it!" The old butler said slowly.

Mr. Chen had to come to see Wang Mang, Wang Mang saw a big Confucian coming over outside the door, and immediately stepped forward to salute, "The junior Wang Mang and Wang Jujun have seen Mr. Chen." ”

Mr. Chen saw that this kid had a big mouth and nothing else special, so he asked in a low voice, "Where are you from?" ”

"Mr. Hui, I don't have many relatives at home, but my aunt took me to the capital to study, and my aunt is Wang Zhengjun." Wang Mang said very calmly.

When Mr. Chen heard Wang Zhengjun, he only felt a little familiar, "Old housekeeper, is it the talented girl of the Han Dynasty who went to the Xiongnu?" ”

The old housekeeper immediately walked into Mr. Chen and replied in a low voice: "No, it is Wang Zhaojun who is out of the plug, Wang Zhengjun is the queen of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zheng's original partner." ”

This really shocked Mr. Chen, such a student will definitely accept it, "What's that, Jujun, I see that you are also a knowledgeable person, I don't know how to learn?" ”

"Mr. Hui, I studied this year with Mr. Stan in the palace, and I know some poetry and etiquette, and now Mr. Stan is busy, so I came out to study, and I visited Mr. Daming, and I came here to hope that Mr. will take him in."

Mr. Chen stroked his beard slightly, "Okay, okay, just study here with me, and you don't have to pay the tuition or anything, after all, your family's strength background also has some strength, it's too hurtful to talk about money, the old housekeeper, arrange a seat for him, let him go in and study." ”

Things are roughly like this, Wang Mang entered Mr. Chen's school with his own strength, Liu Biao also came to Mr. Chen's school at this time, and Shi Jia went to knock on the door first.
