Chapter 667: Thank You
Prince Yong also came to the martial arts arena to watch their practice, and turned around and put forward an idea to Su Youyi.
"The minister thought, in order to reflect the importance of this military competition, and to reflect the importance of the queen mother and the emperor to military strength, do you want a few little princes to do a favor?"
"How can they help?"
Su Youyi said with a smile: "Could it be that you can call Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, and perform an equestrian performance when the time comes?" ”
Those nobles in the capital play tricks, if the ministers see it, they will definitely praise Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are not simple, but for the generals, it is simply an insult.
Su Youyi knew it very well in her heart.
Prince Yong smiled: "No. The two of them are still too young, but the fourth prince and the fifth prince, they have learned their riding and archery skills well, and they can show it when the time comes. The Queen Mother thought about it, if those people in the army knew that even the little princes in the palace attached so much importance to horse archery and learned so well, wouldn't it be even more encouraging to them? ”
"There is a good hope in the future, if the little princes grow up and become generals who command thousands of armies, can they not give better treatment to the army?"
Speaking of this, Su Youyi understood Prince Yong's intentions.
Commanders?
Su Youyi didn't think about it so much, she just asked the children to study according to the normal steps, as for whether she would be a civil servant or a military general when she was older in the future, even if it was an idle and merry prince, she didn't mind.
The children's lives are their own, and she, as a mother, doesn't want to interfere more.
However, Prince Yong's words reminded her that whenever there is a major event in the country, a person from the royal family must be sent to come forward, which can be regarded as important.
It's good to send the fourth or fifth prince.
First, they are the sons of the first emperor, and their positions are noble, and secondly, they are still children, so they are not afraid of mistakes when the time comes, and they will not be ashamed.
Su Youyi thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so she said, "If the little four and five hear your words, they don't know how happy they will be." ”
Prince Yong said: "How do you say this? ”
Su Youyi shook her head helplessly, like an ordinary mother talking about her naughty children, and only said: "The news of the martial arts competition in the army has spread for a while, and even the children don't know where they heard it, they all know it." They were so busy learning to ride and shoot that they didn't even care about their two younger brothers. ”
"I look at what they mean, I can't wait for me to send them directly to the army to study, and I don't look at my small body, I can't even ride a big horse!"
It turns out that there is another reason for this.
Prince Yong couldn't help laughing, "No wonder when the ministers went to the martial arts arena to watch, they saw that they were very serious." The sixth and seventh princes rode on the little horses, watching them draw their bows with envy. By the way, the minister has already asked people to customize small bows for the sixth and seventh princes, so that they can also enjoy it. ”
"Little Bow? Is it the one that the emperor used when he was a child? ”
"It's smaller than that."
When Su Youyi entered the palace and was by Yuan Zhi's side, Yuan Zhi was already eight years old and already had some strength.
Primary Six and Primary Seven are only four years old, which is completely different.
Su Youyi couldn't help but be surprised, "Can such a small bow be made?" ”
Prince Yong said with a smile: "The minister went to the Ministry of Industry a few days ago and saw their carpentry workshop, many things are really exquisite. Since the craftsman has such a skillful hand, he thought about giving it a try, maybe he could make it? If it is made, the sixth and seventh princes will be very happy. ”
Su Youyi smiled and shook her head, "It's still Uncle Wang who feels sorry for them." In contrast, I ignore them a lot. ”
"The Queen Mother has been taking care of the government wholeheartedly, and now she has also divided a lot of thoughts to take care of them, and she has done a good job. Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, a few days ago, the emperor was very touched and said that the Queen Mother treated him too well. The emperor is not from the queen mother, the queen mother can do this part, it is conceivable that they will not be worse than the six princes and the seven princes. ”
……
As the front hall spoke, Song Rubai and Song Rumo scratched their ears and cheeks again when they heard the news.
Song Rubai went to the side hall under the pretense of visiting Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, but he didn't see the two of them, it turned out that they were still in the martial arts arena and didn't come back.
Song Rumo had the courage to go to the front hall to ask for a meeting.
As long as you are cheeky and cheeky, don't you just pretend not to know that Prince Yong is coming?
It's a big deal to be driven back, he's used to it, it's okay.
Unexpectedly, Su Youyi heard Song Rumo asking to see her, and did not directly let Chunhua refuse, but lowered her head and thought about something.
Prince Yong thought that he was in the way, and when he was about to get up and say goodbye, Su Youyi already knew that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly asked him to sit down, "You don't have to move." People only came here because they knew you were coming, and if you left, what hope did they have? ”
Prince Yong didn't know Su Youyi's thoughts about the Song family brothers at first, but after a long time, he slowly paid attention to the news of Kunning Palace, so he guessed something.
It seems that Su Youyi just uses them as chess pieces, Su Qing'an picks them up, and Su Youyi will do what she wants.
And he sat down in peace.
Su Youyi said: "Uncle Wang is just afraid that I don't know, this military competition, or Song Rumo told me a joke, which caused my thoughts." Speaking of which, he can also be regarded as a hero. ”
Prince Yong thought for a moment and vaguely understood Su Youyi's intentions, "Then say that, when I see him in a while, I will praise him." ”
Su Youyi almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Now that Prince Yong understands, it will be easy to do, "Chunhua, let him in." ”
Chunhua was puzzled for a while, on weekdays, Su Youyi saw Yuanzhi or other ministers in the court, and she didn't let the two brothers of the Song family get close.
This time, Prince Yong hasn't left yet, why did he let Song Rumo in?
She couldn't figure it out, so she had to go out and invite Song Rumo in.
Song Rumo himself was also surprised.
Could it be that during this period of time, his dedication to currying favor with Su Youyi has been effective, so Su Youyi has more trust in him, and he can actually invite Prince Yong in when he is there?
In the past, she had always strictly cut off the contact between her brothers and courtiers!
Song Rumo walked towards the hall with an uneasy heart, and when he went in, he saw Su Youyi and Prince Yong sitting opposite each other drinking tea, Prince Yong had no intention of leaving, and he was even more excited.
"Please Empress Dowager, I have seen Prince Yong."
Song Rumo saluted and got up, and said with lame acting skills: "It turns out that Prince Yong is also here, it was unfortunate that I came, and I ask the Queen Mother to forgive me, please Prince Yong is not to blame." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Prince Yong put down the teacup and glanced at Song Rumo, who was a beautiful man with red lips and white teeth, "I heard from the Queen Mother that the matter of martial arts competition in the army was inspired by your jokes. Now that the king is in charge of this matter, speaking of which, the king would like to thank you. ”
What, Prince Yong knows about this?
Song Rumo was stunned for a moment, showing a smile that was more ugly than crying.
