Text Chapter 100 The Prince's Thoughts
The study room is where the princes study, since Yun Yuhong took the princes out and came back, and arranged for them to read together, the princes and their friends began a pleasant study life here. Of course, on the surface, this is the case, but in fact, since the princes began to live in the study, they seem to be riding a roller coaster every day, enjoying the excitement of being in the clouds for a while and the mud for a while.
The professor was a Confucian specially invited by Zhou University, but the old man in his seventies was full of red light, and there was a fragrance of ink precipitated after long-term impregnation of pen and ink, so everyone respectfully called him Mo Lao. Mo Lao has a high reputation among scholars, although he was recommended by Zhou University, but he cannot be classified as a party of the Zhou family, so Yun Yuhong still recognized him after talking to him for a few words.
Mo Lao's teaching is very rigorous, and the prince is no exception, but the prince has always made mistakes, and they are all accompanied by reading and punishment, so several princes have a good time here in Mo Lao. The four companions are all bitter children, and they are not afraid of being knocked down twice, but they are more serious in learning than the prince, but the progress of mastery is uneven. Although Yu Zhiqiang was late in enlightenment and struggled to learn at the beginning, he had the ability to never forget and was willing to endure hardships, but he mastered it better and faster than the four princes. Ji Hongsi is a son-in-law, and he has already gone to school, so he has a good mastery, Bai Ziren just listened to some of the lessons taught by Mr. with a few brothers, and he can only barely keep up.
And in the afternoon, when they practiced martial arts, several princes began to wail, and they asked their companions to play a few handboards, and the unlucky ghosts would give them a few slaps or kicks when they were testing their martial arts. The unlucky ghost is a person who practices martial arts, and knows how to make them hurt without getting hurt. Therefore, at the beginning, several princes wanted to borrow the hands of Mo Lao to train the minds of a few unpleasant companions. And the way the unlucky ghost taught the martial arts of several princes was according to the way he was taught by Yun Yuhong when he was a child, and the hardships of several children can be imagined. The four companions have suffered a lot at home every day, so it is better, and the princes who are delicate and expensive have suffered a lot, and they enter the execution ground every day when they enter the martial arts training ground.
The relationship between the companions and the princes is not very good, there is a natural gap between the people of the two worlds, in the eyes of several princes, these children who are not valued by their families are just their accessories, and they are born according to their faces, but although these children have different personalities, they have strong self-esteem, and they will not cater to these princes at all, so it is inevitable to compete in secret, and the relationship between several people is very cold.
The relationship between the four princes was very close after some hardships, but it also made several noble concubines very nervous, and they told their sons to stay away from other princes, and they were not allowed to play together on weekdays, which made several princes very distressed.
After Mo Lao's class on this day, the four princes found a place where no one was around and talked together.
The fourth prince said: "Second brother, is it fun to be the emperor?" My mother said every day that I wanted to study hard and let my father pay attention to me. Let me be my father's best son, so that my father can pass on the throne to me in the future. But I really don't know why I have to be the emperor? ”
The third prince also said: "My mother also said that she wanted me to be the emperor, and she said that when she became the emperor, she had everything, which was the happiest thing in the world." But I really didn't think my father's life was so happy. Moreover, she also told me that if she wants to be the emperor, she can no longer play with her eldest brother and second brother. ”
The eldest prince also shouted: "My mother also said the same, last time I played with Xiaosi for a while, she knew about it, as if I had done something strange, and repeatedly warned me that as long as I get along with you on a good face, I can't play with you in private." ”
The second prince smiled and said: "Our mothers and concubines are all the same, but they forgot that the queen is about to give birth, maybe the prince is about to be decided, how can there be any business with us." ”
The eldest prince thought for a while and said: "I think so, no matter whether the queen gives birth to a man or a woman, with the eldest sister here, it is unlikely that we will become emperors." ”
Several other people nodded, and Yun Yuhong made them die more than once about the position of the crown prince, and their attitude was clear, it was by no means just talking, and several princes knew it in their hearts.
The fourth prince was puzzled: "Then who should we listen to?" ”
The third prince patted the fourth prince on the head, "Stupid, of course listen to the eldest imperial sister, have you ever beaten the eldest imperial sister?" Aren't you afraid that the eldest sister will spank you? ”
The second prince sighed, "There are some things that we can't say, whether we want to fight for the throne or not, our mother, the family behind our mother will not give up easily, whether to be the emperor is not our business alone, but it is related to the rise and fall of many families behind us, and the glory and wealth of many people." ”
The eldest prince said a little sadly: "I told my uncle last time that I wanted to be a general in the future, but my uncle was very angry, saying that I was not promising, and the mud could not support the wall, and scolded the mother and cried."
The fourth prince patted the eldest prince on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
The second prince snorted coldly and said: "We are the prince, how can he say it at will, it can be seen that in their eyes, they don't take the imperial power in their eyes at all." They think very beautifully, but it also depends on whether the eldest sister will let them let them go, and if they have the ability, let them fight and win the eldest sister first. I see the attitude of the eldest imperial sister towards these families, I am afraid that sooner or later she will have to settle accounts with them. ”
Thinking of the experience of going out, and then thinking of Yun Yuhong's unconcealed disgust when talking about these clans, several people were silent for a while, and the third prince asked in a low voice: "Is it because of this that the eldest sister doesn't like us?"
Several people looked at each other a few times, and the fourth prince said softly: "Actually, although the eldest sister is a little stricter, she is still good to us, we are bullied, she will avenge us, and let people teach us skills, if I don't fight to be the emperor, she should like us."
The eldest prince thought for a while and said: "When the eldest imperial sister comes back, I will ask her, if I don't fight for the throne, will she teach me martial arts, I want to be as powerful as the eldest imperial sister."
The second prince glanced at the eldest prince and said, "You think simply, what did you think about to tell your mother?" Are you sure your uncle will let you go like that? Haven't you heard of 'involuntarily'? ”
The eldest prince touched his head, and he didn't know what to say, but a few people didn't say anything, and turned around and walked towards the martial arts training ground. In the big tree behind them, the unlucky ghost who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep opened his eyes, clapped his hands and floated down from the tree.
In the afternoon of that day, an astonishing news came out from the morning court: Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry reported that his third son, under his banner, had done tricks in the embankment construction project, and had cut corners and filled the embankment with straw in order to embezzle the project funds, resulting in flooding and displacement of the people during the rainy season. Zhang Shangshu also said that his second son was also taken by the third son, and he was in trouble with him, so Zhang Shangshu expelled the two sons from the house, severed the father-son relationship, and asked Qianzong to arrest the two immediately. And along with Zhang Shangshu's two sons, there were also two officials of the Ministry of Industry who participated in the construction of the embankment and accepted bribes, but when the Qianzong sent people to arrest them, these two people had committed suicide by taking poison.
On the way back, Yun Yuhong and several people also heard the news, Zhang Sangongzi was shocked and disbelieving at first, but after repeated verification, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, tears fell like rain, and shouted: "Father, you are so ruthless!"
Yun Yuhong looked at Bai Ziyu, the two of them were also speechless for a long time, Zhang Shangshu's trick of planting blame and abandoning the pawn to protect the car was not clever, but he just took the initiative and seized the opportunity to do his own, of course, Yun Yuhong also guessed a few points in advance, after all, this is not the first time this has happened, Zhang Shangshu doesn't like Zhang Sangongzi, and it is expected that he will come out to prevent the disaster, however, Zhang Shangshu gave up Zhang Ergongzi and poured it out to Yun Yuhong's surprise.
Yun Yuhong saw that Zhang Sangongzi was so grief-stricken that he vomited blood, and hurriedly raised his hand and a wisp of finger wind flashed, hitting his faint point. Zhang Sangongzi tilted his head and fell into a coma.
Bai Ziyu looked at Yun Yuhong and sighed: "I didn't expect them to move so fast, it is estimated that when we go back, they will have everything ready, and we are afraid that there is nothing to be done with Zhang Shangshu."
Yun Yuhong nodded, "So we're going to have to do something too." It is indeed a bit difficult to convict Zhang Shangshu of the crime, he is not afraid to settle the account, and there will be a day when the general account will be calculated. Zhang Ergongzi couldn't stay, so he said that he wanted to blow up the embankment, and then planned to escape, so he was shot. As for this third son, he is a great hero who presided over the repair of the embankment for you, and we will ask him for credit when we go back. As for what Zhang Shangshu said about cutting corners and filling the embankment with straw, you might as well let Zhang Shangshu think about it again, is it wrong to remember. The Duchang City embankment really broke only because the flood was too fierce, and I didn't find the straw. ”
Bai Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The princess is reasonable, I didn't write an excerpt saying that the reason for the embankment burst was artificial, and Zhang Shangshu's move can be described as not self-defeating." As for Zhang Ergongzi's desire to blow up the embankment, it is true, but straw was found in the gap of the embankment, which may be that Zhang Ergongzi misunderstood something. Zhang Shangshu has no responsibility to repair the embankment, let's not talk about it, the crime of not being strict with his godson still has to be born. As for Zhang Sangongzi, I am afraid that Zhang Shangshu has misunderstood by hearsay, he is a hero, and he should be praised lavishly. ”
Yun Yuhong nodded and asked, "What if one day, your father is also like Zhang Shangshu?" ”
Bai Ziyu was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Is there still one day, what is the difference between me having a father and not having a father." Feelings are to be constantly accumulated and maintained, and once they are consumed, they are gone. Zhang Sangongzi, I will persuade him, in this world, not everyone is worthy of your affection, and you don't want to reciprocate love. ”
