Chapter 538: Royal Ruthless
Xiao Tianzi put down the "Spring and Autumn Period" in the book, supported his cheeks with both hands, and looked at Cai Yan and Liu He, who were sitting side by side opposite, with some distraction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Liu He felt his gaze, a blush floated on his cheeks, and he was a little restrained, but Cai Yan just raised his eyes and glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, have you finished reviewing the article?" ā
Xiao Tianzi shook his head: "No, I'm upset and want to take a break." ā
"What are you thinking?" Liu He got up, poured a glass of water from the case next to him, walked to the side of the Son of Heaven's case, stuffed the water cup to him, and asked with concern: "Are you worried about the war in Youzhou?" You don't have to be afraid, with my Ah Weng and a few generals, the Yuan family will not succeed. ā
Xiao Tianzi took the water glass, glanced at her, and suddenly laughed, he nodded, stood up, stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, and his spirit was lifted: "I'm going to ride a horse, are you going?" ā
"Okay, okay, Sister Zhaohime, are you going?" Liu He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go together." ā
Cai Yan shook his head: "I won't go, there is still an article to be written." ā
"And who died?" Xiao Tianzi looked disappointed, and said a little unhappily: "Can't you delay it for a day or two, and don't wait for it." ā
Cai Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Cai Yong is a great Confucian, famous all over the world, and anyone who has a little face wants to ask Cai Yong for an epitaph. Cai Yong is a good old man who refuses to offend people, this article can't be written, a little annoying, and later saw that Cai Yan's style is similar to his, so he simply wrote it by Cai Yan, and he just edited and revised it himself - usually this step is not needed - so writing the epitaph became her extracurricular homework.
That's what Xiao Tianzi said.
"Your Majesty, you are mistaken, this is not an epitaph. Speaking of which, it's still the homework assigned by the general of the cavalry. ā
"Am I?" Liu He said in surprise: "Why don't I know? ā
Cai Yan put down the pen, looked at her, and chuckled: "Of course you don't know, this is what the general of the Che Cavalry gave to my father, and my father transferred it to me." She stood up and held the book to her chest. Xiang Xiaotianzi bowed slightly: "I'll go to Lantai to check a book, you guys have fun." After saying that, he turned around and left. Outside the door, there were palace maids who followed, some helped her hold books, and some handed hand over hand towels. Cai Yan spent half of his time in the palace. He is deeply liked by the little emperor, and he is very favored in front of the Empress Dowager Song, and this treatment is not much different from that of the princess.
Xiao Tianzi was a little stunned, turned to Liu He and said, "Since Sister Zhao is not going, you should not go either." I asked Zhou Yu and Cao Ang to accompany them, it is not convenient for you to be around. ā
"Oh." Liu He put away his smile in disappointment and watched Xiao Tianzi walk out quickly. Only then did he return to the case, and when he saw that the glass of water on the case had not moved at all, he hurriedly picked up the water cup and chased it out, but where was there still the shadow of Xiao Tianzi. She sniffed a little aggrieved, silently returned to the desk, and continued to bow her head to write.
The Empress Dowager Song came to the outside of the hall accompanied by several palace maids, and when she saw that Liu He was the only one writing, she couldn't help laughing: "Ah He." Why did you work so hard, they all dispersed, why didn't you rest and rest? ā
Liu Hejian is the queen mother. Hurriedly got up to pay respects. "Queen Mother, I'm not working hard, I haven't finished class yet."
Empress Dowager Song said curiously: "Since you haven't finished class, what about Your Majesty and Cai Yan?" ā
"Your Majesty is going to ride a horse, and Cai Yan is going to Lantai to check the book."
"Horseback riding again?" Empress Dowager Song raised her eyebrows. Since Liu Xiu sent someone to send a few foals born of heavenly horses from Xiliang Horse Farm, horseback riding has become a daily lesson for Xiao Tianzi, and he has to practice riding and archery for half an hour every day. Zhou Yu and Cao Ang are both companions, and they have to enter the palace every day to accompany them. But it's not time yet, and what makes the Empress Dowager Song even more strange is that in the past, Xiao Tianzi would take Liu He with him to practice riding and archery. What's going on today? She rolled her eyes and lowered her voice, "Are you angry with Your Majesty?" ā
"Nope." Liu He was inexplicable, tilted his head and thought for a while: "Your Majesty seems to be a little strange today, and he is always distracted when he reads." ā
Empress Dowager Song asked a few more words, Liu He only knew that Xiao Tianzi was a little uncertain, but he didn't know what it was for. Empress Dowager Song didn't ask again. He and Liu He chatted affectionately for a while, and then asked about the situation of the Chu Palace, and then got up and left.
The northwest corner of the north palace has the dragon temple, from the filial piety of Emperor Huan to worship Lao Tzu floating slaughter there, now for the little Tianzi to practice riding and archery with the small school field is located in the open space in front of the dragon temple. Xiao Tianzi came a little early today, although Cao Ang and Zhou Yu had already come, they had not changed their clothes yet, and were watching Lao Tzu and the statue of Futu in the ancestral hall.
Cao Ang and Zhou Yu are both twelve years old today, but Zhou Yu is a few months older. Both of them are already six feet tall and look like talents, especially Zhou Yu, with red faces and white teeth, sword eyebrows, and a pretty gentleman who everyone loves. Cao Ang inherited his mother Liu, and he is also good-looking, at least much better than his father Cao Cao. Because his mother died early, Cao Ang was a little introverted, not as cheerful and confident as Zhou Yu.
The Zhou family was originally attached to the Yuan family, but after the Yuan family rebelled, Zhou Yi did not follow Yuan Kui to escape from Luoyang, and he stayed in Luoyang quietly. After Xiao Tianzi returned to the palace, Zhou Yu was selected to be a waiter in the palace, and over the years, he has become a good friend with Xiao Tianzi, and he can talk more than Cao Ang, who knew Xiao Tianzi first.
Zhou Yu put his hands behind his back, looked at the curly-haired floating statue, and suddenly said, "Aang, do you say that outside the Western Regions, there is really any Tianzhu Kingdom?" Is that the same for everyone there? ā
Cao Ang blinked: "It should be, I've heard many people say it." ā
"How can a man look like this?" Zhou Yu said curiously: "The book only says that there are four Yi, but I don't think the Qiang and Xianbei people are like this." Could it be the Bai Di mentioned in the ancient books? ā
"Probably not. Bai Di is white-skinned, but this man is black. ā
"What black, it's smoky." Zhou Yu snorted with his nose and squinted his eyes to show disdain.
"No, the first time I saw him, he was black, you don't believe it, go up and touch it." Cao Ang raised his voice unconvinced. Zhou Yu looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he was just about to lift up the hem of his clothes and climb up to touch it, when Xiao Tianzi strode in from outside: "What do you touch, this is also the craftsman in the palace according to the image of the people from the Western Regions, and they haven't seen it either." If you really want to know, then accompany me to practice martial arts, and when we grow up, I will make you a general and conquer the Western Regions together. Catch a few real Tianzhu people and come back to see. ā
Zhou Yu and Cao Ang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after seeing the salute, they whispered again: "Your Majesty, it's just that you are a vassal and a general." A general is not something that just anyone can do. ā
"Why not?" Xiao Tianzi snorted.
"Your Majesty, a general is usually a relative of a relative." Zhou Yu said seriously: "According to the current situation, the general is naturally from the Song family, and when His Majesty grows up and marries the lord of Heweng, the general's freedom is the ...... of the King of Chu's line."
Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, Xiao Tianzi interrupted him: "Don't you know that the clan can't be in charge of the army?" ā
Zhou Yu was stunned. Scratching his head: "That minister doesn't have a sister, so he can't be a relative." Cao Ang has a younger sister, and she looks really good, why don't you let him be a general? ā
Cao Ang hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, my sister has a bad temperament and can't marry Your Majesty." ā
Jian Shuo, who rushed to spar when he heard the news, almost didn't have a crooked nose, these little kids. Actually talking about who is a great general here. He didn't dare to reprimand Xiao Tianzi, but he didn't have any psychological pressure on Zhou Yu and Cao Ang. He snorted and glared at Zhou Yu and Cao Ang with a calm face: "National affairs." Is that what you kids can talk about? ā
Xiao Tianzi turned around and glared at him: "Can I say that?" ā
Jian Shuo immediately changed his deferential expression: "Your Majesty can naturally speak." However, Your Majesty, you are not yet in power, and it is too early to say this. Besides, the Son of Heaven has no jokes, when Zhou Cheng Wang Tongye was a younger brother, he almost caused a catastrophe, and today His Majesty joked about the general, isn't it ......"
Xiao Tianzi pursed his mouth and did not say any more. He shook his hand. Running out, he said as he ran: "Zhou Yu, Cao Ang, accompany me to ride a horse, practice riding and archery, let's go to conquer that Tianzhu country." ā
Zhou Yu and Cao Ang glanced at each other. He saluted Jian Shuo, squeezed past him, and ran away. Jian Shuo put away his smile, looked at the backs of the three children, and sighed secretly.
Lantai, Secretary Pavilion, Cai Yong rummaged through a pile of bamboo slips that were about to rot between the rows of bookshelves, his face was covered with beads of sweat stained with plaster, and he looked very embarrassed. Seeing this, Cai Yan hurriedly put down the book in his arms, walked forward quickly, and pulled Cai Yong out, and said angrily: "Father, you are also a minister of the imperial court, can you pay attention to your appearance, if you are seen by the imperial history, you will inevitably be impeached." ā
Cai Yong let out a sullen breath and said with a sad face: "This is really strange, I know where I have seen these words, but now I come to look for them, but I can't find them." ā
Cai Yan glanced at the bookcase and saw that there were a few unrecognizable words written on it that looked like oracle bones, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "What kind of text is this?" ā
"I don't know." Cai Yong patted his forehead: "The general of the Che Cavalry sent a letter, saying that a tomb was found in Mianzhu, Guanghan, and there were a lot of strange things in it, including some words, and he asked me for these words, but I am ashamed to say that I don't know either." Yesterday I thought of it in the middle of the night, and suddenly remembered that I had seen an ancient book in Lantai, and there were several similar words in it, so I rushed to read it early this morning, but I couldn't remember where the book was placed. ā
Cai Yan picked up the rubbing, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "It's not a book, it's a picture." ā
"A picture?" Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, it's a map of mountains and seas, a map of mountains and seas." As he spoke, he ran towards a bookshelf. He was very familiar with the book in this Lantai, and quickly found the green capsule, took out the remnant picture, and sure enough, he found those words on the remnant map. In the green sac, there was also a piece of paper with a few words written on it.
Cai Yan looked at it and said curiously: "Whose word is this?" It looks like a woman, could it be the last words of everyone in the class? ā
Cai Yong glanced at it and sighed: "What kind of class, everyone, this is Yuan Guiren's handwriting." He glanced at it and sighed again: "I didn't expect her to understand such words, and she actually made a reprimand." ā
Thinking of that Yuan nobleman, Cai Yan couldn't help but sigh, and said after a while: "The royal family is ruthless, not bad at all." ā
