Xiao Yuan walked on the way back to his palace, and his mind kept coming up with the impassioned feeling of listening to the rain pavilion. Do you continue to be silent, or do you explode in silence, is it really suitable for your own country to do this? My father has already let myself start to prepare, what should I do?

Xiao Yuan, who had not gone through the court dispute, was a little undecided for a while, and staggered on the avenue back to the palace, and suddenly remembered what his father said to him.

"That's right! I can go to the imperial brother, the imperial brother has been guarding the border for more than four years! The imperial brother is familiar with these military affairs, he should be able to help me. ”

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan changed direction and walked towards the palace of the Great Prince.

Before coming to the palace of the eldest prince, the palace guards who were on duty recognized Xiao Yuan at a glance. The guards on both sides knelt down together, clasped their fists and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose." ”

Xiao Yuan stretched out his right hand and said, "Two of you, please get up, my imperial brother is here, I have something to discuss with him!"

The two guards stood up and stood up.

The guard on the left stretched out his right hand, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my prince has explained, you have to come to him, let's go to the Praetorian Guard camp to call him back." Your Royal Highness the Prince, wait a moment, go to the front hall to rest, and I will send someone to invite my lord. ”

Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "That's hard work for you!" Then, he followed the guards towards the front hall.

The guard led Xiao Yuan to the door of the front hall, stopped, clenched his fists and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the front hall, you take a break, I will go to the guard camp to invite the prince back." ”

With that, the guards leaned over and retreated, and Xiao Yuan walked to the front hall alone.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the front hall, Xiao Yuan saw a painting hanging on the side wall of the front hall, standing in place. Looking at this painting, my head "boomed", and the whole person was stunned, and my thoughts were instantly pulled to the childhood picture.

Xiao Chen is nine years old and Xiao Yuan is four years old.

One afternoon, because it was raining outside, the two came to the imperial study and saw a hundred-line picture that their father preferred, and the two children were full of interest in the walkers from all walks of life in the picture.

Xiao Chen pointed to the characters in the picture and said to Xiao Yuan, "Brother, what do you want to do in the future?"

Xiao Yuan pointed to an old woman in the painting holding her child and said, "I want to go to find my mother, and my father said that as long as I grow up and become strong, I can go to find my mother." ”

Xiao Yuan looked back at Xiao Chen next to him, and said seriously, "Brother, what are you going to do in the future?"

Xiao Chen pointed to the general riding a big horse in the picture, and said very firmly: "I will be a general in the future, protect my father, protect you, and protect our people of the Great Zhou Dynasty from being bullied by others!"

"Brother, you will do it! You are the most powerful of all the princes!" Xiao Yuan said to Xiao Chen with certainty.

Xiao Yuan was still immersed in childhood memories, and the eldest prince walked over from outside the front hall.

The eldest prince walked to Xiao Yuan's side, put one hand on Xiao Yuan's shoulder and said, "Prince, remember this painting! Last time, when I went to the border gate, I asked for it from my father." You've loved this painting since you were a child, and you wanted to give it to you when you came to see me off, but you didn't come!

Xiao Yuan took his eyes off the picture, walked to the side of the Taishi's chair, and sat down on his own.

Xiao Yuan looked at the eldest prince who was both familiar and unfamiliar and said, "On the day the imperial brother left Beijing, I contracted the wind cold the night before, and it was inconvenient for the imperial brother to leave the house, so please forgive the imperial brother!"

The eldest prince laughed and said, "It's okay, I didn't wait too long that time, and I left after a while." ”

Xiao Yuan sat on the Taishi's chair and recalled the day when his imperial brother went out of Beijing to the border pass, Xiao Yuan, who was infected with the wind cold, was locked in the house by the teacher, so that he could not go anywhere, his body was already weak, and if the wind blew again, he would have to lie in bed for half a month.

Xiao Yuan was still young at the time, and he didn't have much strength, so he tried his best to climb out of the palace gate, preparing to go to the noon gate to bid farewell to the imperial brother, and when he arrived at the noon gate, he found that the imperial brother had already set off.

It suddenly occurred to me that the imperial brother would not leave without waiting for him, and would definitely wait for him at the Shili Pavilion outside the capital.

Xiao Yuan has never ridden a horse since he was a child because of his weak health, and he has only one thought in his mind, he must go to Shili Pavilion, he must see the imperial brother, and tell him that the journey is smooth, and he will wait for him in the capital.

So, I ran desperately, exended all my strength, and relied on this insistent belief until I ran to Shili Pavilion. At that time, if I didn't have this belief support, I would have fallen a long time ago!

As soon as he ran to Shili Pavilion, he saw that the imperial brother was about to ride a horse on the road, and he wanted to call the imperial brother who was about to set off, but he found that he had exhausted all his strength when he ran over, and he shouted so loudly that he couldn't even hear it clearly, not to mention, the imperial brother who was dozens of meters away!

When Xiao Yuan ran to the place where the imperial brother rode on the road, he saw that the imperial brother had already led the soldiers and horses along the path until he disappeared from his field of vision.

Suddenly, it rained heavily in the sky, and Xiao Yuan was drenched in the rain, crying loudly and crying for a long time.

Then, the walking dead walked on the way back to the capital, and not long after walking, he fainted in the heavy rain.

When I woke up again, it was already three days later, and that time I had been lying in bed for two months, thinking that I was useless.

Seeing Xiao Yuan looking at him like this, the eldest prince felt a little uncomfortable, and sat down by himself.

The eldest prince first broke the embarrassment and said, "Prince, this time you are looking for me for the envoys of the two countries to come to Beijing?"

Xiao Yuan took the tea brought by the maid, took a sip and said, "What the imperial brother said is right, I am here for this matter, and there are some places where I want to ask the imperial brother for help!"

"Yes, if I can help the crown prince, I will be happy to do it!" said the eldest prince calmly.

Xiao Yuan told him about the idea of listening to Yuting with his father today.

The eldest prince pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "The prince wants me to help you manage the 250,000 soldiers and horses from all over the world, to avoid friction and conflict between these soldiers and horses from all over the country, and to show them perfectly in front of my father, the envoys of the two countries, and the people of our court." ”

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I want the imperial brother to command these 250,000 soldiers and horses, and lead these 250,000 soldiers and horses to complete the exercise." ”

The eldest prince smiled mysteriously at Xiao Yuan and said, "The prince will be the son of heaven in the future, this is the opportunity for the prince to contact the soldiers, so that the prince will easily gain the favor of soldiers and soldiers from all over the country, and won't it clear the obstacles for the prince to ascend the throne in the future?"

Xiao Yuan stood up from the Taishi's chair, clasped his fists and said to the eldest prince who was sitting, "The imperial brother should know that the imperial brother's heart is not here, tomorrow the imperial brother will ask his father for his life, let the imperial brother command these 250,000 soldiers and horses, whether the imperial brother is willing or not, you can't disobey the emperor's holy decree!"

With that, Xiao Yuan turned around and walked out of the front hall and left the palace.

The eldest prince looked at Xiao Yuan's departing back, and a solemn face appeared on his face.

As soon as Xiao Yuan returned to the palace, Xiao Linzi walked over with a long cloth bag in his hand.

He bowed to Xiao Yuan and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, someone just came, saying that it was someone from the Second Prince's Yongwang Mansion, you have something left on their mansion, let me hand it over to you." ”

After speaking, Xiao Linzi handed Xiao Yuan the object wrapped in brocade cloth with both hands, and then got up and retreated.

Xiao Yuan opened the brocade cloth, and inside was a picture.

Outside the Great Zhou Jingshi under the sunset, a roll of yellow dust rolls out, and the horses gallop in, but when they see the figure flickering, they will dismount. shouted "Three thousand miles to expedit! The royal gold medal will be given, the obstructor will die, and the rebel will die!"

Then the man jumped on his horse and galloped straight to the palace.
