Chapter 038: The Princes
Early in the morning of the first day of the sixth lunar month, the carriages of the princes and grandchildren came out of the West City Gate and headed towards the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
The princes used a competition to decide the future, the first time in the past, and there was a god of war who had suffered a great calamity to compete with them. Who will lose and who will win, and what the situation of the God of War is, it all depends on today.
It was the people who came early in the morning. One can see the prince, and the other can watch the competition.
The small merchants and vendors are carrying their burdens along the school yard to sell, and while selling goods, they have seen the excitement that is rare in a hundred years.
They didn't say that they wouldn't let the people see it, and the battalion generals could only drive the people to both sides and leave the way into the school grounds.
Q: What are you setting back for?
Of course, it's for the sake of being an official.
Tents had already been set up inside, tea tables and chairs had been set up, and places had been prepared for the officials.
The common people were blocked at the entrance and outside the tents, and although there was a line of soldiers, they could still see it if they wanted to.
Just wait for it to begin.
*
Inside the school grounds.
Inside each tent were occupied by officials. The soldiers of the large battalion helped bring tea and water and arranged for the admission personnel. It looks a little chaotic, but the ground is big and not obvious.
The princes' tables and chairs are of course in the middle.
The eldest prince led a group of servants up the stairs, and the people in the shed got up one after another to salute him.
"Yo," the eldest prince smiled at the third prince in the crowd, "this third prince will be able to see it for the first time wherever he goes." ”
The third prince was dressed in a crescent moon white robe, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen years old, he had read a lot of books at first glance, and his elegant and upright expression had a little shadow of today's saint.
But as soon as the eldest prince came, he ridiculed the third prince for not wearing military uniforms and wearing white robes, and the ministers present refused to answer when they dealt with it indiscriminately.
"Wait a while, the eldest brother will have to show mercy," the fifth prince sat crooked in the chair and answered, "We just told the third brother, let's finish the bargain." The third brother also agreed. ”
The sixth prince just said and said, "It's really true, our younger brothers can't compare to the eldest brothers." ”
The fifth and sixth children wore a pair of pants and exhaled with one nostril, and they were told that it was a slap in the face.
The eldest prince sneered, and Shi Shiran sat down on the chair: "You guys are making fun and don't give face to the prince, but I, the eldest brother, can't help it, if you don't make two families, you will become one family, and beat me one." ”
Isn't that a win-or-victory? Knowing that he couldn't be squeezed by words, the fifth prince laughed, took the prince as a topic, and took the matter over.
After a while, the prince also came.
Among these princes, the prince is the fourth, only fifteen or sixteen years old, white and fat, and he was named the prince as soon as he landed. Today's queen is his mother, and the prime minister is his uncle, and his identity is unspeakably expensive even among the princes.
When the people in the account saw the prince's drive, they gathered together with quick movements and saluted in unison.
"Excuse me," the prince looked at the group with his hands behind his back, "the eldest brother, the third brother, the younger brothers are here." Why don't you see Ye Shu? ”
The eldest prince stood at the front, rubbing the hilt of the sword with the gem embedded in his waist with one hand, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other either, and it's hard to say if you're lost." ”
Such a joke was put aside in the past, everyone was happy, and now it ...... All of them talked about Ye Shu's "falling off the cliff", "being impersonated", "amnesia" and other things.
"I'm afraid it's amnesia and it's fake."
"Fifth Highness knows the news?"
The fifth prince, who deliberately provoked the topic, looked at the third prince and said with a smile: "The third highness is responsible for interrogating the fake Ye Shu, there should be news that we don't know." ”
Ye Shu's incident has been more than half a month now. There are many speculations circulating in the market, and the most talked about is that there is a gangster who knows that Ye Shu has amnesia and is trapped in the mountains, so he pretends to be the god of war and runs to the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth.
But the three princes who took the Dali Temple to investigate the case here, but there was no news for a long time.
When it comes to it now, everyone still has to let the third prince reveal something about you and me?
Whether the fifth child did it on purpose or not, the third prince understood in his heart, and said more amiably: "It is being investigated, and I will know it later." ”
The people who were waiting to hear the news couldn't help but be disappointed, and they said that he was the end behind their backs.
The crown prince sat down in the middle position: "The case approved by the emperor, without the emperor's permission, the third prince is not easy to disclose." You are not allowed to ask nonsense. ”
"It's still the prince's justice," the five princes who deliberately picked their words in this unspeakable direction are yin and yang.
The prince didn't hear it.
Outside the account, Ye Shu and his party were late.
Ye Shu, Ye Jingtian and others rode in front, and the remaining two hundred recruits followed. It wasn't until he entered the school field that Ye Jingtian's face became the bottom of the pot improved.
Knowing that the prince had arrived, the father and son dismounted and walked quickly towards the tent where the prince was.
Salute, greetings, Ye Shu's steps are not the slightest mistake. Even his expression is as steady as Mount Tai.
Those who were secretly observing him could not see his condition even more clearly.
Even the prince looked at Ye Shu a few more times. He left his position, walked to the Ye family's father and son, and said with affection: "Lone heard that Da Sima fell off a cliff and lost his memory, he was very worried, and he didn't see the imperial doctor in the past, I don't know how Da Sima is now?" ”
"After Ye Shu returned to the city, the minister sent him to the divine doctor, and he didn't return until now, and he has not been in Beijing all the time, which is a waste of the prince's kindness," Ye Jingtian hurriedly explained why he didn't let the imperial doctor treat Ye Shu.
The prince didn't think so, but he said with concern: "Where is the divine doctor?" ”
Seeing that Ye Shu didn't speak after seeing him, he had a tentative mind and asked, "How does Da Sima feel?" ”
Da Sima is talking about him, this Ye Shu knows.
Raising his eyes to see that the prince was different from the one in the portrait, Ye Shu said while looking: "Back to the prince, the minister is okay." ”
Prince: "......"
That's too concise!
"That's good," just looking, he really didn't see anything different about Ye Shu. But to say that there is no ...... It doesn't seem to be.
The prince asked a few more questions.
Ye Shu's answer was like a stream.
The eldest prince, who didn't know what to think next to him, suddenly came over to put his arm on Ye Shu's shoulder, and said, "I don't believe that anyone can pretend to be you......"
"It's not too early, when does the competition start?" Ye Jingtian interjected nervously.
The tent was full of people, and he was the only one who sweated.
Seeing this, the eldest prince wanted to say: "The people who have followed you for many years haven't found out, why haven't you dealt with those individuals?" ”
From the revelation to the present, there are so many things that the Ye family needs to face, so that Ye Jingtian didn't think of this, and was suddenly asked, or the eldest prince asked in front of the prince, Ye Jingtian's cold sweat broke out along the back of his back.
He thought about the excuse.
"It's not a good thing, which one is embarrassed to make a big deal about," said a young boy standing outside the tent, muttering to the people in the tent.
The eldest prince saw that he was familiar and was about to recognize him, Ye Jingtian flashed into a gear, and quickly answered: "Your Royal Highness Xie cares, the minister has already punished all the punishments." Punishment is the sin of His Majesty's ministers. ”
To put it bluntly, he just doesn't care about the eldest prince.
But they all forgot that half a month ago, he took Ye Shu into the palace to make trouble. As a result, nothing was left behind. The father and son of the Ye family still looked like they had forgotten their great grace.
The eldest prince was on fire in his heart.
