Lan Yu came out of Zhu Yunxi, and her mood was extremely excited.

Zhu Yunxi gave him a big surprise.

It turns out that Yun Hee, this kid is not useless, and there is a hero's dream hidden under his seemingly cowardly appearance.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be my Lanyu's grandnephew!"

Lan Yu clenched his fists and went straight to the Song State Mansion, he wanted to tell the two old brothers this exciting news.

In the study.

Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, looked at Lan Yu in disbelief and asked, "Did he really say that?" ”

Lan Yu nodded and said:

"When he talked about our battles, his eyes lit up and he couldn't contain his excitement, and I asked him what he wanted, and guess how he answered?"

"He said he wanted to be like us, to be a big hero who stood up to the sky!"

Lan Yu asked and answered herself, laughing, and then her face was gloomy:

"It's a pity that we all misjudged him before."

Feng Sheng stepped forward, patted Lan Yu's shoulder, and comforted:

"In the past, we all had our eyes on the prince, so naturally we had no time to take care of him, but now it's different."

There was a hint of excitement on his face: "As long as this child is not that unbearable, we can help him become the new crown prince." ”

After saying this, he and Lan Yu looked at each other and smiled, looking quite relieved.

Fu Youde on the side didn't speak, he frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he raised his head and said in a deep voice:

"Don't you think there's something in this kid's words?"

Hearing this, Lan Yu and Feng Sheng couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Fu Youde together.

"Did Yun Xi ask you, if he was as invincible as we were, what would Your Majesty think?" Fu Youde asked unhurriedly.

Lan Yu nodded: "That's exactly what he asked." ”

As soon as the words fell, he was stunned, his brows furrowed, and after a moment he hesitated to ask:

"You mean he's reminding us?"

Fu Youde did not answer, but asked rhetorically:

"Why did he tell the three of us the credit one by one?"

"And you said in one breath that there are three of us, not you Lanyu alone?"

"Why did he do so much, and ask His Majesty what he would think of him?"

After a series of questions, there was a brief silence in the study.

The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly blurted out at the same time:

"The merit is high, the party is selfish, and the superior is suspicious!"

The words fell, and the three of them were silent at the same time, their eyes full of shock.

After a long time, Lan Yu broke the silence, he was still a little suspicious, stared at Fu Youde and said;

"Old man, are you worrying too much, Yun Xi is still just a teenager."

Fu Youde didn't look at him, as if he was talking to himself:

"Usually taciturn, but when he said such a thing at such a sensitive time, if it was said that he had suddenly changed his temper, hehe, can you believe it?"

As if to wake up the dreamer with a word, Feng Sheng patted his thigh and said:

"In this way, he didn't really want to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river!"

Fu Youde nodded, glanced at Feng Sheng deeply, and sighed:

"I didn't expect this kid to be so thoughtful, but he acted so ruthlessly, and he didn't hesitate to be ruthless to himself in order to get close to His Majesty."

Lan Yu was confused when she heard this, and slapped the table and shouted:

"What are you talking about?"

"What does it mean to be so deep in mind and so ruthless in action?"

Fu Youde chuckled: "Old Lan, it seems that your grandson and nephew are really a character." ”

He cleared his throat and strung the whole thing together, and in an instant he came to a fact that he thought was perfectly correct.

I only heard him say a little proudly:

"That's how it should be."

"The prince is newly mourned, and Yun Xi is interested in the position of the prince, but he knows very well that the matter of who is the prince is actually only in the mind of His Majesty."

"So he deliberately made a play, and wrote and acted in this suicide by throwing himself into the river, in order to attract His Majesty's attention, and now I heard that His Majesty has let him move into the Qianqing Palace to live, it seems that his goal should be achieved."

"What? Are you saying that Yoon-hee deliberately committed suicide by throwing himself into the river? ”

Lan Yu looked at Fu Youde with a stunned expression, almost unable to believe his ears.

saw Fu Youde waving his hand, signaling him to continue listening to himself.

"But it's not enough to just get His Majesty's attention, he also needs the help of external forces."

"You think he said that just to remind you?"

"No, he's telling you that if he can't become the crown prince, we old guys will be doomed together!"

"Wouldn't it? How could he possibly want so much? ”

Lan Yu muttered to himself and looked at Feng Sheng on the side as if he were verifying.

Feng Sheng nodded and said:

"The old man is right."

"You Lanyu is his own uncle and grandfather, the founding prince Chang Sheng is his own uncle, our entire Huaixi old people are inextricably linked with him, if he can't be the prince, this huge force will become a force that the new prince can't control, and it will also become a heart disease for His Majesty a hundred years later."

Feng Sheng's eyes shot a faint cold light, and he said self-deprecatingly:

"He's telling us that if we want to survive, the only way out is to help him become the crown prince!"

These words sounded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.

Lan Yu clutched his chest and said dreamily:

"How is this possible, has he been deliberately forbearance for so many years?"

"If that's the case, then this kid's mind is too terrible!"

Fu Youde laughed and said, "Terrible? I'm afraid it's congratulatory, right? ”

"Yes, yes, it should be gratifying!"

Lan Yu reacted, his face was full of excitement, he rubbed his hands, and complained with a little pride:

"This kid, why is he still hiding from his uncle and grandfather, causing our old guys to be anxious for so long!"

Feng Sheng looked at Fu Youde and asked with some concern, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Fu Youde smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's take a look first, it's just that this kid is too young, and he doesn't understand some truths." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head to look at the towering tree outside the window, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely:

"Any mind is vulnerable in the face of absolute strength."

Hearing this, Lan Yu and Feng Sheng glanced at each other, revealing a proud smile with a tacit understanding.

.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yunxi sat under the towering old locust tree, looking at the blue sky in a daze.

Liuli on the side couldn't help but ask, "Third Master, what are you thinking?" ”

Zhu Yunxi's posture remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "I'm wondering when I can grow a pair of wings." ”

"Third master, you're talking nonsense again."

Liuli covered her mouth and chuckled, but saw a eunuch hurriedly walking over, saluting Zhu Yunxi and saying:

"Little Third Master, Your Majesty asked you to go to the imperial study to meet you."

The Imperial Study?

Isn't that where the emperor works?

What do you want me to do?

...... Zhu Yunxi stood up, with a hint of doubt, and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.

Inside the Imperial Study.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two brothers Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi in front of him, and a kind smile appeared on his face:

"Grandpa Huang is too busy, I haven't cared about your knowledge for a long time, you two both tell Grandpa Huang, how is your learning?"

After finishing speaking, he casually glanced at Li Shanchang and Song Lian who were standing beside him.

One of these two is Prime Minister Zuo, the young master of the crown prince.

The other is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a teacher who specializes in teaching the Five Classics of the Prince.

At this moment, under Zhu Yuanzhang's casual glance, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his eyes were full of complexity when he looked at Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi.

Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang has already begun to make multiple choice questions in his heart.

The next conversation seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is a hidden mystery, and the answers of the two emperors and grandsons may directly affect their respective fates in the future.

Both of them are old rivers and lakes, how can Zhu Yuanzhang's mind not understand, but it is extremely risky to be involved in this kind of thing, and if you don't get it right, you will get into trouble.

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but show a trace of imperceptible wry smile on their faces, and secretly decided that they would never express any opinions until they had to.

"Come, tell the imperial grandfather, what is the most important thing in this war?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is uneducated, and he seized the world by force, so he didn't ask about the Four Books and Five Classics, but asked a question that he was also interested in.

This is the beginning of the selection of the crown prince?

...... Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, and looked at Zhu Yunxi on the side.

Zhu Yunwen obviously came prepared, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said loudly:

"Soldier, treacherous!"

"The upper is good at scheming, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city."

"My grandson thinks that the war should be famous, the soldiers should be of the same heart, and with good strategies and tricks, they will be able to defeat the enemy......"

Zhu Yunwen talked eloquently, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded frequently.

Li Shanchang and Song Lian of the gang were expressionless, but they agreed with Zhu Yunwen's answer in their hearts.

This kid is really a top student....... Zhu Yunxi admired Zhu Yunxi.

He had only heard these things on TV, and it was absolutely impossible for him to say them word for word.

After a long time, Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, and glanced at Zhu Yunxi with a little pride, which means that it is time for you to play.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhu Yunxi scratched his head and said in a sneering voice:

"My grandson has never fought a war, so I don't know how to fight."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, Li Shanchang and Song Lian were also secretly shocked, and then remembered that this little third master seemed to have never been taught by a serious teacher.

This kid really doesn't know how to learn...... Zhu Yunxi was amused in his heart, and said with the attitude of making Zhu Yunxi ugly:

"The third brother should not be modest, the emperor's grandfather has been fighting horses all his life and has created a Ming dynasty foundation, our views are naturally on paper, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, so that the emperor's grandfather can give you some advice."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yunxi, just say it, it's okay if you say it wrong." ”

It seems that there is no escape...... Zhu Yunxi made a contemplative gesture, then looked up and said:

"Grandpa Huang, I think that fighting a war is fighting money, and if you want to win, you must have a lot of money."

Flutter!

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help it and laughed directly.

Song Lian shook his head secretly, and this answer he directly gave a failing score in his heart.

Li Shanchang's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously stunned, then laughed, also unimpressed, and then asked the second question.

"If you want to achieve my Ming Dynasty's foundation, how should I govern it?"

It's a bit of a difficult question, and it's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two.

Li Shanchang and Song Lian were also interested, and they both wanted to hear the opinions of the two emperors and grandsons.

Or Zhu Yunwen spoke first:

"Governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, benevolent and holy for the monarch, fair and honest for the ministers, moderate law, and educating the world with Confucian sacred learning, so that they know the etiquette and are loyal to the monarch........"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, quoted scriptures, and in a moment, an argumentative essay was read.

Isn't this kid already ready?

...... Zhu Yunxi was stunned, and looked at everyone looking at him again, so he scratched his head again, and said with a hint of embarrassment:

"This, I think, is to have money, the country has money, the people have money, everyone has money, everyone has money."

I'm afraid this kid is in the eyes of money...... Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and asked at Zhu Yunxi:

"Yunxi, who taught you all this?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "I don't have a teacher, so I ......"

An embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly shocked and looked at Li Shanchang and Song Lian.

"Your Majesty, although the third master has enlightenment, it is true that there is no formal teacher to teach."

Li Shanchang said.

When the crown prince Zhu Biao was alive, everyone focused on him, and almost no one cared about Zhu Yunxi, a little transparent.

So Zhu Yunxi's performance at this moment is really normal.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a trace of self-blame in his heart, looked at Song Lian and said:

"In the future, Yunxi will be taught by you."

Song Lian hurriedly bowed down and agreed, secretly relieved, but the emperor didn't let him judge the performance of the two.

"Okay, let's go out first, and I'll have a meal with Grandpa Huang later."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and let Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen walk out of the imperial study, and then sighed and said:

"Yunxi, this child has lost his mother since he was a child, it seems that I owe him."

What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?

...... Li Shanchang and Song Lian bowed their heads and did not dare to answer, judging from the battle between the two brothers just now, Zhu Yunxi was completely defeated.

But the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words clearly revealed his pity for Zhu Yunxi.

It seems that the heart of the emperor is like an abyss, and we can't speculate.

...... Li Shanchang and Song Lian bowed and bowed and exited the imperial study.

Looking at the backs of the two, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered and he was silent.

Zhu Yunwen's words are decent, and he has been taught by famous experts as soon as he listens to them.

But Zhu Yunxi's answer is not boundary, the two answers are almost identical, and they both revolve around a money word.

"Is this kid young and no one cares, so he's quite poor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his heart, thinking that Zhu Yunxi's answer today was completely caused by psychological shadows.

It stands to reason that as the emperor's grandson, he should be able to use it perfectly, but if someone deliberately does it, it is not impossible.

...... Zhu Yuanzhang remembered Lu's contrived performance at that time, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

As a civilian emperor, he has never seen anyone, how can this little trick of the Lu clan escape his eyes?

It's just that judging from today's examination, Zhu Yunxi is indeed much better than Zhu Yunxi.

So how do you choose?

...... Zhu Yuanzhang was in a complicated mood, and then walked out of the imperial study.
