Heijo Imperial Palace.

Prince Yuansui and Ren Cheng Wang Yuancheng, as well as Taishi Feng Xi and Taifu Muliang sat at the same table to discuss the tomb sacrifice.

On top of the table, a small stove cooks tea.

Yuan Cheng opened his mouth first: "Tomorrow is the festival of cold food, and it is strictly forbidden to cook fires and smoke in the people's homes. When His Majesty was in Pingcheng, His Majesty also lit the candle from the West Palace, and passed the flame to the minister's house, and then from the minister to the house of the royal family, then to the house of the official eunuch, and finally to the people's house, which means to breed a new fire, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. ”

Glancing at Yuan Sui, Yuan Cheng continued: "Your Majesty instructed the ministers, this time the cold food and fire transmission and Qingming ancestor worship are all handed over to the prince to act on his behalf, which shows Your Majesty's trust and reliance on the prince." ”

Yuan Sui thought that if he left the Yecheng Palace, he could do whatever he wanted, unrestrained. I never thought that along the way, the Taishi and Taifu did not relax their studies, and when they entered Pingcheng, they were disciplined and restrained by King Rencheng, and they were tired of it at this time.

However, King Cheng was the patriarch of a clan, and he was the ancestor of the branch, and Yuan Sui did not dare to make a mistake, so he had to pretend to be respectful and respond again and again.

Seeing Yuan Sui like this, Yuan Cheng was very relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "This cold food and Qingming, one yin and one yang, one breath and one life, the two also echo each other. ”

Feng Xi and Mu Liang also nodded again and again, and after Yuan Cheng finished speaking, Feng Xi said: "The cold food and forbidden fire is to produce the fire of new life, and the Qingming sacrifice is to protect the new life, which can make the people of the world remember the past and be grateful." The crown prince is the prince of my Great Wei, His Majesty is far away in Yecheng this year, and the prince must do his best not to let the fire and sacrifice ceremonies be lost. ”

Yuan Sui's mouth responded one by one, but his mind had already drifted to the corner field.

After discussing the cold food and fire transmission and Qingming sacrifice rituals, everyone left separately.

In the field of Jiaojiao, the left and right clear rates of the East Palace of the Guardian Prince are lined up on both sides, and the python flag of the East Palace flutters in the wind. Yuan Sui stood in the corner field, and his young and immature face was even more proud.

Yuan Sui has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he especially loves the art of horns. Before moving to Yecheng, he also selected people who were good at art in the left and right clearing rates to play with him.

This left and right Qingdao rate was originally the elite of the brigade, specializing in the responsibility of the palace guard, and the guard of the prince's heart, and its sergeants were all composed of the sons of the prince or the prince's son.

Today, the person facing the prince is Yang Kan. This Yang Kanzi Shiye, Yang Bo, the eldest son of the Yang family of Hongnong Huayin, is his father.

Yang Kan has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is also literate and martial. At this time, although Yang Kan was about to be in the year of the general horn, because of his burly figure, he was sent to the army by his father to practice his will.

Because Yang Kan's time to enter the left and right clearing rate is still short, Yuan Sui does not know him. At this time, when he saw his greatness, he had the heart to compete with him.

Although spring is in full bloom, because Pingcheng is located in the north, it is still slightly cool weather. However, the two sides will fight with the naked and win the battle.

The two stood in the middle of the field, the left and right sergeants beat drums on both sides to cheer up, and the other sergeants held flags on the side to shout, and the field was lively for a while.

But seeing Yuan Sui waving his strong arms, he waited for Yang Kan to attack like a lion. Yang Kan is also a newborn calf, and the two of them have blazing eyes and do not let go.

Although Yang Kan is young, he can win with skill. After a few back and forth, it was slightly better. On weekdays, none of those sergeants dared to duel against Yuan Sui with their true strength, and at this time, seeing Yang Kan's fierce coming, Yuan Sui was already angry in his heart.

Caught off guard, Yang Kan stumbled with a kick, and Yuan Sui fell to the ground.

The winner must lift the other party with his own hands to show friendship and encouragement.

Yang Kan saw that the prince had fallen to the ground, so he hurriedly approached half a step forward, wanting to help Yuan Sui get up. Unexpectedly, Yuan Sui was already annoyed and angry at this time, and in anger, he waved his hand and punched Yang Kan.

Ran Yuansui was angry in his heart, and slapped Yang Kan with his backhand, and the five fingers on Yang Kan's cheeks suddenly appeared.

Yuan Sui got up and said angrily: "How can I lose to you for a small time? It is you who deceive me and cause me to fall to the ground. ”

Although Yang Kan is still young, he also knows that it is inconvenient to argue at this time. However, he was also an iron-boned man, so he only knelt on the ground in pain, but did not beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Yuan Sui was even more like a fire pouring oil, kicked Yang Kan's shoulder, and said hatefully: "Today, when I think of the first offense, I will not deal with it with military law for the time being, so you will kneel down here and wait until the first moment before you can get up." ”

Yuan Cheng stepped into the palace with his front foot, and there was an attendant on his back foot to report.

Although the left and right Qingdao rate is the guard of the prince's heart, but this time with the body of the prince on behalf of the sacrificial gift, in order to prevent the prince from having a bad pool, the emperor instructed the general to report to King Ren Cheng in time in case of trouble.

After listening to what the waiter said, Yuan Cheng immediately sank his face.

This Yang family is a prominent family, and the protégés are all over the world. Only this Yang Kan's grandmother Wang is the aunt of the former Empress Dowager, so in terms of family lineage, Yang Kan is Yuan Hong's uncle.

Yang Kan's father, Yang Bo, also followed Yuan Hong from birth to death, and had many military exploits, and had a life and death relationship with Yuan Hong.

Yuan Cheng didn't care about being tired, so he hurriedly returned to the West Palace to meet the prince.

At this time, Yuan Sui was leaning over the ground with all the attendants and playing with "Galaha".

When the inner servant passed the word, King Ren Cheng had arrived, Yuan Sui got up, and signaled the inner servant to put away Galaha, and ordered Yuan Cheng to enter the house.

Without waiting for Yuan Cheng to salute, Yuan Sui hurriedly made a humble move, approached to support Yuan Cheng with both hands, and said, "How did Ah Weng turn back again?" ”

Yuan Cheng shook his hands and said, "I heard that the prince just punished his subordinates in the corner field, I don't know why?" ”

When Yuan Sui heard this, he was shocked in his heart, he never thought that this matter would be known by King Ren Cheng, and it was so fast, so he was displeased, so he said: "I am a dignified prince, and now I am in the year of dancing spoons, and I don't worry about these little things." ”

Yuan Sui's words were also unexpected by Yuan Cheng. Yuan Cheng was stunned in his heart, and in a few snaps of his fingers, he opened his mouth: "Now that Your Majesty is far away in Yecheng, entrusting the prince to the minister, to the court, His Majesty is the king, in the clan, and the minister is the chief, so how can the minister ignore the prince's affairs?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Cheng was not angry and mighty, Yuan Sui felt a little cowardly in his heart, so he changed his tone and said: "Ah Weng, it is my reckless gaffe, I hope Ah Weng will forgive my sins." ”

Yuan Cheng also saw that Yuan Sui had grown up since he was a child, and when he heard that he had admitted his mistake, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Prince, the origin of the Great Wei is Shuofang, and he is good at riding and archery. In the Taizu period, every time to the Zhongyuan Festival, the banquet of the horn was held, just for the martial arts. ”

Looking at Yuan Sui, Yuan Cheng continued with a serious voice: "On the field, you can't bully the weak, and you can't distinguish between the noble and the lowly, only by competition. ”

Seeing that Yuan Cheng seemed to have disdain, Yuan Cheng sighed secretly in his heart. However, as a minister and loyal to the king, Yuan Cheng did not dare to live up to the emperor's entrustment, so he said: "As a prince, the prince should follow the rules and regulations." Mo said that the Yang family is the head of the Great Wei and Han families, and they are ordinary soldiers, and they should not be treated like this. ”

At this time, Yuan Sui was already tired in his heart, and only replied: "I have written down Ah Weng's words, Ah Weng will go back." ”

When Yuan Cheng heard Yuan Sui's words, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he sighed heavily and got up to leave.
