The shocking secrets in the palace are about to come out, and the people who are far away in the hunting grounds on the outskirts of Beijing know that the hunting grounds are bustling and noisy.

On the empty martial arts arena, several princes were competing in archery, and the Emperor of Beiyuan sat in the back seat, next to the imperial ministers and ministers, tasting wine and watching.

After two rounds of competition, the archery skills of the great prince overwhelmed the princes, and the arrows sent out could be described as fast, accurate and ruthless, which won a lot of praise from Emperor Beiyuan.

Perhaps thinking that the scene was not lively enough, Emperor Beiyuan watched the arrows, his eyes swept around, and finally stayed on Chu Yanxu beside King Su.

"Yan Xu, I haven't seen you shoot arrows for many years, you also go and shoot two shots, let Uncle Huang see if your archery skills are improving?"

Suddenly named by the emperor, Chu Yanxu paused for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand, and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, archery is not Yan Xu's forte, I'm afraid I want to make you laugh." ”

Emperor Beiyuan has been in a good mood these days, and when he heard Chu Yanxu say this, he waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, you can try, hahaha......"

So, Chu Yanxu went to get a bow and arrow, and also joined the competition.

Sure enough, as he said, his archery skills were not good, and he missed the bullseye with two arrows.

Seeing that Chu Yanxu's archery skills were really not outstanding, Emperor Beiyuan was obsessed with digging out his strengths, and ordered someone to take a sword to Chu Yanxu and let him dance the sword on the spot.

There is a specialization in the art industry, Chu Yanxu's swordsmanship finally lives up to expectations, a set of cloud-cutting swordsmanship, fast as lightning, which makes people look at it amazingly.

Emperor Beiyuan was amazed again and again by his good swordsmanship, and asked the chamberlain to take a sword and give it to Chu Yanxu on the spot.

After watching Chu Yanxu dance the sword, Emperor Beiyuan got up and left the martial arts arena and walked towards the deep forest stream opposite.

Autumn is high and cool, and the stream is trickling.

Emperor Beiyuan walked slowly along the stream, followed by Zhou Yuan, the chief of the Great Interior, Yan Wei, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and several small internal attendants and guards. Soon, Chu Yanxu was led here by a small chamberlain.

Emperor Beiyuan looked at the group of people behind him, waved his hand and said, "You guys just wait here." After that, he looked up at Chu Yanxu again, "Yanxu will walk with me......"

"Yes"

Stepping on the sparse dry grass, Emperor Beiyuan asked Chu Yanxu to walk side by side with him, "Your swordsmanship has improved a lot!" ”

Hearing Emperor Beiyuan's praise, Chu Yanxu bowed to him calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"

didn't know the emperor's intention to let him accompany him alone, Chu Yanxu didn't dare to say more.

"Well, what changes do you feel when you return to Chengping City recently?"

"The city is as prosperous as ever."

"What about the court?" Emperor Beiyuan suddenly paused, turned his head and looked directly at Chu Yanxu, his eyes were sharp, "To put it bluntly, whether it's right or wrong." ”

After briefly looking at Emperor Beiyuan, Chu Yanxu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, "Yan Xu knows very little about everything in the court, so he doesn't dare to discuss it. ”

"You, you're just too restrained, are you still afraid that Uncle Huang will punish you for not being able to take a step, hahaha....."

Zamabu once became the shadow of Chu Yanxu's childhood, as for the reason, he didn't really remember it very well, it was about four years old, because he was too naughty, he was punished by Emperor Beiyuan for three hours, and from then until a long time, as long as he heard the word Zamabu, he would immediately disappear without a trace.

"If you don't say it, I know, presumably many people say I'm confused during this time, right?" Emperor Beiyuan knew this, looked around, and continued to walk forward, "It is said that as long as I say a word, I can avoid those endless disputes between the princes." But why don't I let them fight? ”

Emperor Beiyuan's words made Chu Yanxu stunned and puzzled.

"Striving can know the strengths and weaknesses, and fighting can determine the advantages and disadvantages!" Emperor Beiyuan said in a loud voice.

"Does Your Majesty mean to reconsider the candidate for the Prince?"

"The prince is the heir, Ning Hao is the eldest son, everyone respects the elder son, in order to conform to the etiquette and the people's heart, I set up Ning Heng as the prince early. But the situation in the world has never been static, to hold this country, expand the territory, and continue to maintain long-term stability, it is probably not enough to entrust this burden to the prince who has the title of the eldest son. Over the years, I only thought about the stability of the court, and almost forgot the rules of success and defeat. How can a prince who has not experienced something bear this burden! ”

"Your Majesty, is this 'peace without forgetting danger, governance without forgetting chaos'?"

"You kid is really smart and thorough," Emperor Beiyuan praised, "It is said that it is difficult to fight the world, but it is even more difficult to govern the world!" 'Peace without forgetting danger, survival without forgetting death, governance without forgetting chaos', this is the way to be prepared for danger in times of peace and long-term stability. ”

"Your Majesty wants your Highnesses to have more opportunities to experience and consider their talents, why don't Your Majesty set a few goals to consider, such as more consideration in the governance of people's livelihood and the number of military achievements. The minister believes that in this way, it can not only allow His Highnesses to compete with each other, but also accumulate experience in people's livelihood governance, expand the territory for Beiyuan, benefit the people and strengthen the country, and stabilize the government ......"

"The government, I know it in my heart, I am there, and I can't mess up."

At this point, seeing that Emperor Beiyuan was full of confidence and could not be discussed, Chu Yanxu did not insist on admonishment. After a conversation with him, Chu Yanxu probably understood his intention to talk to him.

The emperor wanted the princes to fight, and he didn't want the Beiyuan Dynasty to be really chaotic, so he privately came forward to hold some important ministers and good generals to prevent them from getting into chaos. At that time, he personally sat in charge of the overall situation, and then there were important ministers to protect him, so the court situation in Beiyuan was like a pillar that did not fall, and chaos did not collapse; This move can take into account the talents of the princes; Second, we can select the best and the best. And the Su Wangfu is important in the royal family, presumably His Majesty the Emperor has already looked for his father, and if he talks to him again today, I am afraid that he has ulterior motives. Sure enough, it is the emperor's mind, which is unpredictable.

But the situation of the court can change suddenly, can Your Majesty's move really always stabilize the trend of the situation? Chu Yanxu couldn't help but be a little worried

Later, Emperor Beiyuan asked Chu Yanxu about the way to govern the country, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he answered carefully.
