Entering this palace gate, all the officials had to wait there, and when most of the people had arrived, they had lined up, and then they took a sedan chair, and walked and walked, and they faced the inner city in turn.

At this time, it is the same, those who can sit in a sedan chair are either noble, they are big officials, or they have received the emperor's "permission" and are glorified.

Yang Xiangwei rushed out at the time of the door, that is, a little later than them.

He was not qualified to ride in a sedan chair and could only run on his own two legs.

From afar, you can see the ranks of officials, heading towards the morning court.

When Yang Xiangwei arrived at the upper study, many houses had already arrived.

As soon as he walked in, almost everyone looked up at him.

In a room, there are about seven or eight.

Yang Xiangwei: It seems that Tuoba Yu's "combat effectiveness" is not bad, and the number of princes is far better than that of his father.

In the previous generation, Tuoba Yu had only two competitors.

One died in an accident on the way, and the other did not fight him, and was placed under house arrest by him in the prince's villa, and finally died.

As for whether he died of illness or the hands of the emperor's subordinates, there are different opinions.

However, Yang Xiangwei feels that the former is more likely.

After all, at that time, Tuoba Yu had already ascended the throne, and it was the time when he needed to establish his prestige and win the trust of others.

He is not so stupid, he will kill his defeated imperial brother at that time, even if he is under house arrest, he will have to raise him for a lifetime, at least he can leave a good name.

As a result, the prince died, if it weren't for the prince and the child who survived, Tuoba Yu would almost have been left stinking for 10,000 years.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yang Xiangwei looked puzzled.

"What a bold man," said one of the younger princes, who immediately stood up and scolded, "who told you to talk to us like that?" ”

Yang Xiangwei blinked her eyes and said, "How can you say it if you don't talk like this?" Is it through the nose to speak? ”

The prince was furious, and he was about to call the guards to drive this person out and clean up.

Another prince stopped him: "Fifth brother, what are you doing?" Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, be careful that your father knows about it, and he wants to discipline you again. ”

The fifth prince was indignant: "Why do you discipline me? It's not my fault, it's clearly this kid, but the son of a garrison general dares to talk to us like this, it's simply asking for his own death. ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are the fifth prince, this minister doesn't understand a little, the son of a garrison general, how can you talk to the fifth prince, and it becomes a way to kill yourself?"

"You're messing around, you didn't salute when you saw us."

Yang Xiangwei was even more surprised, without saying a word, she knelt down and saluted: "The minister has seen the five princes." ”

The fifth prince was about to speak, when the eldest prince Tuoba Jun and the third prince Tuoba Naruhito walked in from outside.

The eldest prince is the longest, so the third prince is slightly half a step behind.

"What's going on?" However, compared to the more cold eldest prince, the third prince Tuoba Naruhito was indeed much more enthusiastic, and as soon as he came in and found that the situation was not right, he raised questions.

"Third Emperor Brother," the fifth prince immediately ran over aggrievedly and complained to the third prince Tuoba Deren, "This guy is too bold, he actually dares to 'insult' us." ”

The eldest prince Tuoba Jun reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"How am I talking nonsense? Brother Eldest Emperor, what I said is true...... "Balabala, the fifth prince told him what happened, and he had to emphasize that someone didn't salute them at all as soon as they came in.

It was he who pointed it out, and someone jokingly saluted him alone, what is this not an "insult"? It was as if they were not qualified to be saluted by him.

"This ......" The third prince Tuoba Deren was suddenly embarrassed and looked at Yang Xiangwei, "Qi Gongzi, I don't know if what my fifth emperor brother said is true?" ”

"What if it's true? It's just a small matter, and it doesn't have to be pursued in this way. The eldest prince Tuoba Jun stood directly on Yang Xiangwei's side, and said with a cold face, "Fifth emperor brother, what about your princely etiquette?" ”

Let the five princes recite the royal etiquette norms on the spot.

The fifth prince was so angry that he was going to die, but because he was the eldest brother, he could only carry his back aggrievedly.

In the royal etiquette norms, there is a provision - "the teacher is respected, and the classmates are equal".

It means that when the prince goes to school, if he meets a gentleman or classmate whose status is lower than his own, he cannot say high or low by his status, but must respect his teacher and respect his classmates, talk about "friendship with classmates", and treat him as equal.

The eldest prince Tuoba Jun directly said that when Emperor Taizu entered the Taixue Mansion to study, even if he was awarded the status of the crown prince, he treated the gentlemen and classmates of the Taixue Mansion with "courtesy", was generous and generous, and won the hearts of teachers and students.

The descendants of the Tuoba Dynasty around the five princes should inherit the legacy of their ancestors so as not to fall into the royal prestige.

The poor fifth prince was dumbfounded as if he had been trained to do something. In the end, I had to apologize to Yang Xiangwei.

He felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do, and said in a sullen voice: "I'm sorry." ”

"Hey, eldest brother of the emperor," the third prince Tuoba Naruhito immediately became a good man and persuaded, "Forget it, the fifth emperor brother is still young." What's more, this is the first time that a minister has entered the upper study, and it is understandable that the royal brothers are not very adaptable. And I also believe that Qi Gongzi is not such a small-bellied person, and he will still worry about this kind of thing with the Fifth Emperor Brother. ”

Turning his head, he asked Yang Xiangwei if this was the case.

Yang Xiangwei said in her heart: Whoever is stupid will deny it and completely offend the princes.

When you say that you are classmates, you have to wait for them equally, but you won't be a prince for a lifetime, who hasn't been careful and will "take revenge" in the future?

He replied with a smile: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

As soon as the third prince Tuoba Naruhito spoke, the eldest prince Tuoba Jun did not speak again.

However, after a while, Yang Xiangwei saw a lot of problems, such as among the princes, the third prince Tuoba Deren's seems to be more popular than the eldest prince Tuoba Jun.

Also, compared with the eldest prince Tuoba Jun, who seems to be indifferent but is actually not very talkative, the third prince Tuoba Naruhito, who is better at speech and communication, is obviously easier to win the favor of other brothers, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves.

But Yang Xiangwei knew that the "enthusiasm" of the third prince Tuoba Deren was just a mask, and in the future battle for the throne, none of the princes who had laughed and talked to him ended well - except for the five princes who had lost their legs and became wasted people, everyone else died.

The eldest prince Tuoba Jun was the first to have an accident, and he was designed to embezzle disaster relief funds and sent to prison. At that time, he still wanted to come out and prove his innocence, but he didn't want to be poisoned in prison.

Yang Xiangwei: "......"

Although he had no evidence, he dared to say that this matter must be inseparable from the third prince Tuoba Naruhito.

It's just a pity that Tuoba Yu was already ill at that time, and he had the energy to investigate the matter, and gave full authority to the third prince Tuoba Deren, who didn't believe that his eldest brother would do such a thing, and seemed to be particularly about "brotherhood".

In the end, the "truth" that came out of the investigation was indeed not done by the eldest prince Tuoba Jun, but he had died in the dungeon; At the same time, he also pulled down a second prince with the name of "mutilating siblings".

At that time, Tuoba Yu heard that it was designed by the second prince, framed the eldest prince, and secretly poisoned the eldest prince, so he couldn't stand it, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
