If Tang Xiao has read any books over the years, there are really few of them. Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Ban Gu's "Book of Han", and Sima Qian's "Historical Records", if he is asked to memorize a paragraph, he will definitely be blind. Do you really want him to come to a section where Sun Monkey makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Lin Daiyu buries flowers, and Wu Song kills Ximen Qing angrily? Or is it Yang Guo, Huang Rong, Xiaolongnu, Beiqiao Feng, and a green hat?

Are you kidding! If he dared to say this, it would definitely be more miserable than not knowing anything.

Seeing that Tang Xiao was bored and didn't speak, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't force him to answer. Tang Yu on the side was a little displeased, after all, he was his own nephew, no matter how he said it, he was also a prince, if he didn't know a few big words, he would have to be laughed at to death.

'Knowledge changes fate' is the ancestral motto of the ancestors of the Tang family, and it is also the motto of the world's scholars. If you are rich today, the children of the poor family want to read more books and change their fate, not to mention those nobles. I have long heard that this kid is tired of writing and liking martial arts, and he is stupid when he practices martial arts. Looking at his appearance at this moment, is he really illiterate?

Thinking of this, Tang Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Don't worry, have you ever read at home before?" ”

Hearing such a disdainful tone, Tang Xiao suddenly couldn't bear it. Although he is not good at reading and forgets when he sees it, he can also pick up good sentences and export them into poems. As a pseudo-literary youth, I have memorized a lot of Tang poems and Song lyrics in my previous life, and copying a few of them can also make you lose your eyes, and I dare to say that I haven't read a book!

"Uncle Huang, of course my nephew has read! It's just that I don't know what books Uncle Huang is asking? ”

Hearing this, Tang Yu suddenly became interested and asked, "Have you read the scriptures?" ”

Tang Xiao nodded and replied, "All of them are involved." ”

"A gentleman has nothing to eat, and he has nothing to live in. What are the following sentences? ”

"Be sensitive to things and cautious in words......" Tang Xiao scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't think about it, so he had to say: "Uncle Huang, I forgot." ”

"Benevolence is honor, and unkindness is humiliation. What about the latter? ”

Tang Xiao was completely stupid, and said with a cheeky smile: "It sounds familiar, I can't remember it clearly for a while." Uncle Huang, can you remind me a few more words? ”

"Now the evil is disgraced and unkind, and it is the same hatred and dampness and dwelling below."

At this moment, Tang Xiao finally thought of something, regardless of whether it was correct or not, he opened his mouth and came: "Heaven is evil, it is still violated, self-inflicted, and you can't live." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yu was immediately happy, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard boy, I asked you to recite the following sentences, but I didn't let you recite only the last sentence." ”

Tang Xiao disagreed, pouted and said: "Nephew, this is called raising its essence, knowing its meaning and knowing its reason." ”

"You are called sophistry, not a gentleman."

"Uncle Huang, my nephew doesn't want to be a gentleman, so I'm content if I can read a few big characters."

The so-called Zhi'er Mo Ruomu, Empress Dowager Xiao saw her son Tang Yu turning a string of wooden beads in his hand, and knew that he was angry. So he knocked Tang Xiao's head with a smile and said, "You bastard, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Grandma, my grandson knows it's wrong."

Although Tang Yu was a little depressed in his heart, he became more and more interested in this nephew. Thinking in my heart, which of our Tang descendants has not learned the way of a gentleman since childhood, and you bastard boy is no exception.

So, Tang Yu turned his head and asked, "A gentleman is not a weapon, what is the solution?" ”

"I know this, don't want to use Lao Tzu as a gunman!"

Seeing Tang Yu's ugly face, Tang Xiao was remorseful. Talking excitedly for a while, he said that he was bald, and he called himself Lao Tzu in front of the emperor, but he really hanged himself from the old birthday star!

"That...... Uncle Huang. Tang Xiao rolled his eyes and explained anxiously: "Nephew doesn't mean that, nephew means...... It's ......"

Tang Xiao held his head for a long time, and he didn't come out of here. Tang Yu on the side looked at him like this, angry and smiling. However, Tang Yu was a little relieved, this nephew was not as unbearable as rumored, and he was inevitably infected with some Jianghu qi when he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he didn't look like a stupid person at all. If you don't study well, you won't be fine, do you still expect him to be able to take the top prize? Now that he is under his nose, it would be good to discipline and restrain him more in the future.

Empress Dowager Xiao watched from the sidelines, and seeing that her grandson was embarrassed at this moment, the emperor's son did not let go, so she said helpfully: "Yu'er, it's not bad to have such an opinion, tomorrow I will send him to Wenyuan Pavilion to ask Mr. Fang to bother more, it will be fine." ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother, I will definitely ask Mr. Fang to take more care of this bastard boy."

Hearing this, Tang Xiao suddenly felt that he had just entered the wolf's den after coming out of the tiger's mouth, and asked pitifully, "Can you not go?" ”

"No way!"

Looking at his grandmother's serious expression, Tang smiled and wanted to cry without tears.

The night was already very late, and Empress Dowager Xiao asked Tang Xiao's preferences and anecdotes over the years, and told him to come and see her as an old woman more in the future. Although he asked so much, he never said anything about the death of Tang Xiao's parents. Maybe I was afraid that my grandson would be sad, or maybe I was afraid that I would be sad, but in short, there was not so much sad atmosphere in this night's conversation.

Halfway through, Empress Dowager Xiao looked a little sleepy, so she asked Tang Xiao to leave the palace. Although she wanted to keep her grandson to live in the Yong'an Palace for a night, she had to take care of the rules of the palace and felt helpless.

Tang Xiao left with Tang Yu, speechless all the way. When he arrived in front of the Taiji Palace, seeing that he was about to separate, Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment but still said the troubles in his heart.

"Uncle Huang, do you have a clue about the death of my father and mother?"

Hearing this, Tang Yu stopped and turned around, his expression obviously stiffened. He stepped forward, patted Tang Xiao's shoulder gently, and sighed: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for the death of your father and mother." You have to believe that my father is also my brother, and I will not let him die in vain. ”

Tang Xiao glanced at Tang Yu deeply, knelt in the snow and kowtowed three times, then got up and left. Without much words, he walked away in the snow.

Taiji Palace is six or seven miles away from the Suzaku Gate, and it is almost time to leave the palace gate. A carriage was already waiting outside the palace gate, and when Tang smiled out, a young man in black got off the carriage and stood next to the carriage.

"My subordinates meet the little prince."

"Don't be polite, get in the car and say."

The two got into the carriage one after the other, and it was not long before the carriage disappeared into the thick night.

"The subordinates are incompetent and have failed to live up to the expectations of the little prince."

"Stardust, hurry up. If you can't find out, you're incompetent, and isn't this king incompetent? ”

"Little prince, I ......"

"Don't say it again, put aside the fire in the palace for the time being, and let everyone come to Chang'an City. When this king first arrived in the imperial capital, many things needed manpower. Your Majesty will inquire into the affairs of my father, so you should first find a place to settle outside the city. ”

"Little prince, does the palace need to arrange some manpower?"

"Shen Xingchen, are you stupid! This is Chang'an City, the king's uncle is the emperor, and the king's grandmother is the queen mother, do you think the accommodation they arranged for the king will be unsafe? ”

Shen Xingchen, a young man in black, hung his head, looking loveless. He would never ask such a stupid question a second time.

"Stardust, how many of our people are here now?"

Hearing the inquiry, Shen Xingchen hurriedly took out a pamphlet and handed it over: "Little Lord, there are ten people from our Tang Sect, and the main task is to escort those craftsmen along the way. The craftsmen that the little prince has raised over the years are all here, and there are more than 300 people with their families, and now they are all scattered in several villages outside Chang'an City. ”

Looking at the record on the booklet, Tang Xiao frowned. The craftsmen he has raised over the years are all treasures, and he must get a farm as soon as possible, preferably by the mountains and rivers. Whether it's a farm or a reconstruction, these require silver. Leaving the Jingzhou fiefdom, he is now poor and has to find a way to get some silver.

"Silver, silver, ......"

With the silver in his mouth, the time passed so quickly. Anle Wangfu is in front of you, and the gold-lettered plaque looks very magnificent, which is written by the emperor's uncle. In the faint light of the lantern, the brand-new gate is red, and the stone drums on both sides of the stairs are polished and carved excellently. The blue brick glazed tiles are some years old at a glance, but they have been carefully cleaned and repaired.

This Anle Mansion has been empty since 14 years ago and has been idle ever since. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Xiao's edict to bring Tang Xiao back, I don't know whose head such a well-located house would fall on.

There was someone waiting at the gate, it was the nephew of the old eunuch Wang Dahai, named Li Erhammer. This Li Erhammer's appearance is exactly the same as his name, standing there alive and believing a King Kong gorilla. Tang Xiao had heard Wang Dahai mention his nephew before, saying that he was honest and sincere. Now that he finally saw the real person, Tang Xiao only felt that the rolling thunder sounded in the east, and the south split the north.

Where is this honest! If this appearance is honest, then wouldn't I be Yushu Linfeng Saipan'an?

Tang laughed for a while, if there is really no comparison, there is no harm! When I go out with such a person in the future, I will immediately be rich and handsome, and I will feel comfortable.

Looking at Li Erhammer in front of him, Tang Xiao, who was extremely unconfident in his honest appearance before, instantly burst with confidence. That smiling look made Li Erhammer on the side tremble for a while, and he couldn't help but cover the chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemum remnants, full of wounds......

Fortunately, Tang Xiao didn't know Li Erhammer's thoughts, otherwise Li Erhammer would really become a hammer.

"You are Uncle Wang's nephew Li Erhammer?"

Hearing the prince's question, Li Erhammer hurriedly nodded. As early as ten days ago, he received a letter from his uncle, asking him to come to Anle Wangfu on an errand, which can be regarded as an explanation for his dead mother.

"Lord, my uncle has asked me to wait for you here."

"I heard that you are familiar with Chang'an City?"

"The grass people have been eating in the city all these years, and they are quite familiar."

"Uncle Wang is old, you have to help him share the affairs of this house in the future. You are Uncle Wang's nephew, and you can be regarded as your own person, so this king will naturally not treat you badly. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, I will definitely do a good job."

Tang Xiao nodded, still quite satisfied with this second hammer. People look stupid, but they are not stupid, and they are a little shrewd. Such a person is the most assured, and it is also suitable for his style of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"You have investigated the powerful families and gentlemen in Chang'an City these days, and made a detailed list for me. Remember, the more detailed, the better. ”

drove all the way, and stayed in the palace until midnight. As soon as he entered the house, Tang Xiao felt sleepy and yawned again and again. Outside the bright glass window, the snow on the branches can be faintly seen. Although there was a charcoal fire in the house, it still felt cold. This Chang'an City is much colder than Jingzhou, and it seems that you have to put an earthen kang in the middle of the house, so as not to accidentally get gas poisoning.

Leaving a gap in the window, Tang Xiao got into the thick quilt. The first night I came to Chang'an City was the most restful night in a month.
