At four o'clock, Zhao Yao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the four princes. He opened his eyes and looked at the fourth prince in a daze: "Fourth brother, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yao, who had just woken up, was very cute, and the hearts of the four princes were soft.

"Tenth brother, it's time to get up."

"Fourth brother, let me sleep a little longer." Zhao Yao turned his back to the four princes and continued to sleep.

The fourth prince reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's little nose, and Zhao Yao was awakened because he couldn't breathe.

Zhao Yao opened his eyes, glared at the fourth prince fiercely, and complained: "Fourth brother, you bully me!" ”

"Tenth brother, my father will be here later, you have to get up." After the fourth prince finished speaking, he directly lifted Zhao Yao's quilt. Then, he picked up Zhao Yao, who was lying on the bed and had not yet gotten up.

"Fourth brother, isn't my father here yet, let me sleep for a while." It's only too late.

"No, my father is already on his way to the Dragon Protector Temple." The fourth prince picked up Zhao Yao, and then dressed him personally.

Zhao Yao was so sleepy that he was led by the four princes to the next ear room to wash. He didn't wake up until he had washed up.

Wei Mian and Tongxi had already brought breakfast from the kitchen of the Dragon Temple.

Zhao Yao yawned with his mouth wide open while eating breakfast.

"Tenth brother, when you pray for blessings later, you can't keep yawning like now."

"Fourth brother, I'm sleepy." Zhao Yao said and yawned again, "I haven't gotten up so early since I was a child. "Before Zhao Yao was enlightened, because he was young, he did not come to Hulong Temple to pray for the first queen. This year is the first time he has come to Hulong Temple to pray for the blessing of the former queen.

The fourth prince was amused by Zhao Yao's "from childhood to adulthood": "How old is you." ”

"I'm six years old, I'm older than last year, how can't I say from childhood to adulthood."

The fourth prince said: "When you pray for blessings later, if you are still sleepy, you can pinch yourself." "If the tenth brother is sleepy and yawns at the memorial ceremony of the former queen, and is seen by others, he will definitely be said to disrespect the first queen and be unfilial to the first queen.

"That's all I can do." Zhao Yao muttered, "Fourth brother, why do you pray so early?" ”

"The time is auspicious, and it is natural to pray for blessings at auspicious times." The fourth prince said softly, "Besides, the sooner you pray for blessings, the better." ”

Zhao Yao suddenly thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou had gotten up earlier than him, and he instantly became mentally balanced, and he didn't complain anymore, and obediently continued to eat breakfast.

Fortunately, the food and vegetables in Hulong Temple were delicious, which made up for the pain of Zhao Yaotian before he came to light up.

"Tenth brother, eat more, so that you won't be hungry before noon." Today is a day to pray for the former queen. At noon, the four princes will take turns to have lunch. After lunch, continue to pray for the former queen in the Daxiong Treasure Hall until the end of the evening.

"Ah, won't you be able to rest until noon?"

The fourth prince nodded his head: "You can't eat during the blessing period." ”

Zhao Yao was frightened by these words, and his little expression instantly became very serious: "Then I need to eat more." After speaking, he didn't care about being sleepy, and lowered his head to cook violently.

The fourth prince also ate a lot of things, drank two bowls of porridge, ate two steamed buns, and ate two pieces of baked cakes, and his stomach was a little supportive. And Zhao Yao only ate three bowls of porridge, four steamed buns and three pieces of baked cakes.

Although he had known for a long time that Zhao Yao could eat, the four princes were still surprised by Zhao Yao's amount of food.

After breakfast, Zhao Yao first went to visit the Eighth Prince next door. The Eighth Prince did not wake up.

After Zhao Yao told Yu Hai to take good care of the Eighth Prince, he went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall with the Four Princes.

The monks have arrived, wearing robes, holding Buddhist beads, sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha, with a solemn and sacred expression.

Zhao Yao counted, a total of nine nine hundred and eighty-one monks. I heard that they are all highly respected monks.

The ministers also arrived, but they did not enter the Mahavira Hall, but stood at the door of the Mahavira Hall.

Not long after Zhao Yao and the others arrived, the acting king and the third prince arrived.

When the princes sat cross-legged, they heard the sound of saluting Emperor Wu of Zhou outside.

The crown prince took all the princes and got up and saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and asked the princes to sit down. Then, he sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue. Behind him were flanked by ninety-nine eighty-one monks.

Empress Xie took the concubines to the Guanyin Hall and prayed for the first queen in the Guanyin shop.

Suddenly, the bell of the Dragon Protector Temple rang, a full forty-nine times, this is the bell to pray for the first queen.

When the first bell rang, the senior monks in the Daxiong Hall began to chant and pray for the first queen.

Emperor Wu of Zhou closed his eyes and recited prayers for the first empress with a very reverent expression.

Zhao Yao chanted sutras and prayed for blessings while quietly observing his imperial brothers. I saw that his royal brothers were very pious, as if they were really praying sincerely.

I have to say that his royal brothers have very good acting skills.

The prince's brother was assassinated, and the second brother is the easiest to be suspected, but I am afraid that many people will think that he did it, and it is estimated that the prince's brother also thought that the second brother sent someone to assassinate him.

was suspected by everyone, but the second brother was calm and did not panic at all. However, then again, the assassin is not from the second brother's faction, and of course he is calm.

Even if it wasn't done by the second brother, the second brother wasn't afraid that someone would frame him.

The father asked Zhen Guogong and General Shen to investigate the assassins together, and Zhen Guogong couldn't do nothing. With Zhen Guogong's means, even if it wasn't the second brother's doing, he would make the second brother suspicious.

Even if it wasn't done by the second brother, once the second brother was really suspected, the second brother wouldn't be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

As for the third brother, they ...... Forget it.

It's starling...... What the hell is he trying to do. Also, where did he come from?

In the past few years, starlings have been attached to the prince's brother, and how many things have he done in secret. Also, how many forces did the starling plan for himself in private.

Starling is only ten years old, and he has planned so many things for himself, and he is still very well hidden, it is really ...... It's so wicked.

He had always felt that the fourth brother was the smartest among the royal brothers, but now he found that the starling brother was the smartest. The fourth brother is indeed outstanding in reading, but he is not as good as the starling brother in terms of government and politics.

Although he doesn't know what the starling has done in the past few years, judging from the assassination this time, the starling has done a lot of things, and it is very likely that he has laid a net and gathered many people or forces.

To be honest, even if it was him, he couldn't do it like this.

Starling is the legendary wise and close demon.

With Starling's cleverness and means, no one is his opponent. Don't look at the fierce fight between the prince's brother and the second brother, the final winner is definitely not them, nor is it the third brother.

If the fourth brother is spoken, it is possible to fight with the starling. However, he felt that the fourth brother was not as ruthless as the starling, and maybe he would not be the opponent of the starling in the end. There is also another possibility, the starling brother was too ruthless, and finally cocooned himself and lost to the fourth brother.

Whether it is the fourth brother or the starling brother, they are very good to him. Although he didn't want the fourth brother and the starling brother to be enemies of each other, they would definitely become enemies in the future, unless one of them gave up fighting for that position.

Neither Starling nor Fourth Brother showed any obvious desire to compete for that spot, but he knew that they both wanted it.

As a prince, they all feel that they have a noble status and ability, why can't they fight for that position.

A prince who doesn't want to compete for that seat is not a good prince.

There is no prince who does not want to sit in that seat.

Except, of course, he is not as ambitious as the imperial brothers. He really felt that there was no benefit in sitting in that position, and he was tired and tired.

In the future, whether it is the fourth brother or the starling brother sitting in that seat, his life will be better.

As for the matter of the fourth brother and the starling fighting for that position in the future, it is better for him not to interfere. Besides, it's not something he can control. In the end, if one of them loses, he will intercede for him.

Zhao Yao just thought about these things for a while and felt a headache, so he didn't think about these things anymore. He was just a simple child, who didn't know anything, didn't understand anything.

After closing his eyes and reciting the sutra for a while, Zhao Yao became sleepy, he quickly pinched his thigh, and accidentally pinched it so hard that he almost screamed out in pain.

The fourth prince noticed Zhao Yao's movements and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

This pinch temporarily choked away the drowsiness, and Zhao Yao continued to pretend to be pious and chant and pray for blessings.

In the prince's courtyard, the eighth prince woke up.

Yu Hai just received the letter and showed it to him.

After reading the letter, the eighth prince's brows immediately furrowed, and his pale face instantly became condensed.

Seeing his expression, Yu Hai hurriedly asked with concern, "Your Highness, is something wrong?" ”

The Eighth Prince handed the letter in his hand to Yu Hai and asked him to take it to the candle and burn it.

Yu Hai didn't read the content of the letter, and directly took it and burned it.

"I didn't expect my father to know that the rebellion in Yangzhou was different." The Eighth Emperor said with a smile, "The father is the father." ”

Yu Hai was shocked by the words of the Eighth Prince: "Your Highness, the emperor has long known about Yangzhou's affairs? ”

"I'm afraid that my father sent Xie Shi to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion." The Eighth Emperor said weakly, "Father is really scheming. ”

Yu Hai panicked unconsciously: "Your Highness, the emperor knows about Yangzhou, so isn't what we did exposed?" "Your Highness, why are you so calm.

"My father only noticed that there was something wrong with the rebellion in Yangzhou, and he didn't notice anything else." The Eighth Prince said calmly, "We didn't find out about our affairs. ”

When Yu Hai heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "That's good." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and his face became nervous again, "Your Highness, will the people over there betray you?" ”

"No, it won't." The Eighth Prince said very firmly, "That man doesn't know who I am. ”

"Also, it's the slave who is too worried." Yu Hai asked again, "Your Highness, since the emperor noticed that something was wrong in Yangzhou, what should we do next?" ”

"Let them stop and kill those people." The words of the Eighth Prince are light and light.

"Yes, Your Highness." Yu Hai thought of General Ning Yuan's matter, and asked again, "Your Highness, what should I do about General Ning Yuan?" ”

"As planned." The eighth prince thought of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter secretly leaving home, and instructed Yu Hai, "Let the acting king know about Kong Yao's secret renunciation in Bodhi Nunnery tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

The eighth prince said that he couldn't bear it for a while, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yu Hai walked to the bed and carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for the eighth prince.

Looking at the eighth prince's bloodless face, Yu Hai's eyes were full of distress.

His Royal Highness's health was not good in the first place, but after such a serious injury this time, I am afraid that I will hurt my foundation, and I am afraid that I will not be able to recover well in three or five years.

Alas, His Highness is really too cruel to himself.

Zhao Yao: Starling, people who are too smart don't live long.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am five months short of the last monthly pass on the list, and I continue to ask for a monthly pass! Let me climb the monthly pass charts!
