Chapter Fifty-Six: The Maternal Grandfather's Family of the Four Princes
On the road from the gate of the capital to the gate of the palace, the people of the capital have been shouting words such as "His Royal Highness the Acting King Chitose" or "His Royal Highness the Acting King".
The small episode that happened before, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care, the people didn't take it to heart, and continued to call loudly for the heroes in their hearts. It was as if the louder they shouted, the more they respected the king.
Zhao Yao felt that this earth-shattering shout was boiling at first, but after listening to it for a long time, he disliked the noise.
Seeing Zhao Yao's wrinkled face, the fourth prince looked a little unhappy, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Zhao Yao shook his head and said, "Fourth brother, I'm fine, I just think it's ......" Speaking of this, he didn't continue.
The fourth prince patiently asked, "What do you think?" ”
Zhao Yao first looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that no one was looking at them, he raised his hand to his mouth and whispered, "Fourth brother, I think these people keep shouting, it's a little noisy. After saying that, he had a timid expression on his face, as if he realized that he had said the wrong thing. Fourth brother, shouldn't I say that about the people? ”
Seeing the panic in Zhao Yao's eyes, the fourth prince smiled at him gently: "You're right, it's indeed a little noisy. ”
When Zhao Yao heard this, a pair of big black and white eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement: "Fourth brother, do you really think it's noisy?" ”
The fourth prince nodded: "Noisy, I don't like it." ”
Zhao Yao then remembered that his fourth brother was a person who liked to be quiet. Seeing that the fourth brother had the same thoughts as him, he said with joy on his face: "Fourth brother, I don't like it either." ”
When the Eighth Prince heard their conversation, he smiled and said, "I don't like it either." ”
"I like the fourth brother and the starling the most." The fourth brother and the starling deserve to be his best brothers, and they even have the same thoughts. "Fourth brother, starling brother, do you say that they shout like this, does their throat hurt, are they thirsty?" The people shouted at the top of their voices, and the voices were dumb, but they were still shouting. Zhao Yao felt that they had been shouting like this, and their throats would be very painful when they woke up tomorrow morning, and they couldn't speak in pain.
The Eighth Prince looked at the people who were shouting and let out a sneer: "Don't worry about them, let them shout." ”
The fourth prince glanced at the eighth prince with some sarcasm on his face, and a touch of deep thought crossed his eyes.
"Fourth brother, starling brother, how long will it take for us to get to the palace?" There was only the shouts of the people along the way, and there was nothing else, and Zhao Yao felt a little bored.
The fourth prince looked at the speed of the team walking so slowly, and estimated: "There is probably more than half an hour." ”
"What's more?" Zhao Yao was a little impatient. He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Fourth brother, starling brother, do we still want to study when we go back to the palace?" No, we should learn Danqing this afternoon, so do we still have to learn Danqing when we go back? "Except for not liking reading, Zhao Yao is still willing to learn other things.
"This afternoon's class has been canceled, and we don't have to go to Danqing anymore when we return to the palace." The fourth prince deliberately teased Zhao Yao and said, "Although Mr. will not teach us Danqing this afternoon, but the tenth brother, you can go to my house, and I will teach you to read." ”
"Huh?" As soon as Zhao Yao heard this, his little face suddenly collapsed. He pouted and said unhappily, "Fourth brother, I don't want to go to your house to study." ”
Hearing Zhao Yao say this, the four princes were not surprised at all.
He asked, "Do you understand what Mr. taught this morning?" ”
Belch......
Zhao Yao's eyes were weak and dodged, and he turned his head and didn't dare to look at the four princes.
"Fourth brother, can we not talk about reading."
The fourth prince stretched out his hand and turned Zhao Yao's little face around, and then pinched his fleshy little face.
"I think you just want to play."
Zhao Yao stretched out his hand and tugged at the sleeve of the fourth prince, and said coquettishly: "Fourth brother, it's rare that you don't have to go to class this afternoon, so you just let me play." ”
The fourth prince poked Zhao Yao's forehead and reminded him very ruthlessly: "Tenth brother, my father asked you to copy the Analects a hundred times, how many have you copied, and how much is left?" ”
With a bang, the reminder of the four princes was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Zhao Yao, who was splitting directly, was stunned.
Seeing Zhao Yao's appearance of being struck by lightning, the fourth prince and the eighth prince knew that he had forgotten to punish him for copying the Analects.
"Have you had fun these days, and have you forgotten all about the punishment?" He reminded Zhao Yao again, "Father only gave you a one-month period, and there are only ten days left before the one-month deadline." ”
"What?" Zhao Yao exclaimed, "There are only ten days left?" This news was even more terrifying to Zhao Yao, "It's over, it's over, it's over......"
When the three princes heard Zhao Yao's frightened cry, they all looked back at him and asked, "Tenth brother, what's your ghost name?" After speaking, they saw that Zhao Yao was about to cry, and asked funny, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Third brother, I'm done, I forgot about my father's punishment for copying the Analects." Ahhhh There are still ten days left, and even if he has ten hands, he can't copy it a hundred times.
"Hahaha......" The three princes were amused by Zhao Yao's distressed words, "Tenth brother, then you are really going to finish, and your father will definitely not let you go." ”
The fifth prince gloated and said, "Tenth brother, take care of yourself." ”
"Ten brothers, ask for more blessings." The sixth prince said this, but there was no trace of concern in his tone.
Seeing that the three princes not only did not comfort Zhao Yao, but also gloated and waited to see Zhao Yao punished by Emperor Wu of Zhou, the four princes were very unhappy in their hearts, and their faces couldn't help but turn a little colder.
"It's too late to write." The fourth prince comforted Zhao Yao gently.
There are four princes here, and the eighth prince can't say anything, so he can only comfort Zhao Yao and say: "Ten brothers, there are still ten days, it's completely too late." ”
With the comfort of the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince, Zhao Yao's sad and anxious mood eased a little.
"I'll try."
The fourth prince raised his hand and gently patted the back of Zhao Yao's head, "Do you dare to be happy in the future?" ”
Zhao Yao shook his head like a rattle: "Don't dare, don't dare anymore!" ”
The fourth prince rubbed Zhao Yao's little face and said, "Okay, when you return to the palace, you won't go to my house." ”
Zhao Yao listened, and a smile appeared on his depressed little face again.
"Fourth brother is the best."
Soon, Zhao Yao put this matter aside, sat on horseback, and continued to look at the people on both sides of the road.
When the people on both sides of the road saw the crown prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King, they turned their attention to the other princes. The fourth prince is the best-looking of all the princes. His bearing is calm and his temperament is elegant, and he is naturally the most eye-catching among the princes.
Many women looked at the four princes with burning eyes, and they seemed to be still saying something.
Today, it is because of the welcome of His Royal Highness the Acting King back to Beijing that the woman in the boudoir can go out and come to the street. On weekdays, the woman in the boudoir can't show her head so directly.
The fourth prince is only one year younger than the third prince. Concubine Li is already secretly choosing a concubine for the four princes.
Many civil servants in the court supported the Four Princes, because the grandfather of the Four Princes was Taixue's sacrificial wine.
The Li family is the first of the incense books. From the previous dynasty, the head of the Li family was the sacrificial wine of Taixue. For so many years, the disciples of the Li family have spread all over the world.
The Li family also has a very high status in the minds of scholars, and it is not lost to the current Kong family at all. Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, many officials in the central or local government were students of the Li family.
At first, the Li family was reluctant to join the ranks. In the former dynasty, the Li family lived in seclusion in the mountains to study, and never asked about political affairs, but they have always been very famous. The emperors of the previous dynasty wanted to invite the Li family to join the Shi to assist, but the Li family would rather be beheaded than go down the mountain.
The founding emperor of the previous dynasty was a good emperor who had great righteousness and thought about the people. He looked at the thatched house and invited the Li family out of the mountain. The reason why the Li family agreed to assist was because the founding emperor of the previous dynasty was a good emperor, and secondly, because when the previous dynasty was first established, the etiquette and music collapsed, and it was urgent for the people of the Li family to go out of the mountain to rebuild the etiquette and rules.
The Li family was a Taifu at first, and later after the Li family repaired the etiquette and rules, they were unwilling to be an official in the court, so they founded Taixue, and then they have been teaching in Taixue.
During the period of Emperor Xia Ling, the Li family was framed and suppressed, and there were countless casualties. Disheartened, the Li family left Taixue and returned to the mountains, ready to live in seclusion again, and decided not to go out of the mountains again. Later, the first emperor personally went up the mountain and invited the Li family to go out of the mountain to continue teaching in Taixue.
The Li family was moved by the sincerity of the first emperor, so they went down the mountain again, reopened Taixue, and continued to teach and educate people.
During the period when the Confucian family was scolded by scholars all over the world, the Li family was highly respected by literati and students. Although the Li family is not as famous as the thousand-year-old Kong family, the reputation of the Li family is much better than that of the Kong family.
There is another reason why Kong Taichang is reluctant to marry his youngest daughter to the acting king, that is, he is worried that the reputation of the Kong family will be ruined again, and the scholars in the world will be disappointed again, and the Li family will replace the Kong family at that time.
