In the dining room of the apse of Chengguang Palace, Emperor Wu of Zhou yawned while having breakfast.

Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, saw Emperor Wu of Zhou yawning constantly, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou yawned and said, "Well, I had a dream all night last night. ”

"Are you having a nightmare?" Last night was not Sun Kui's vigil, it was his apprentice Sun Doudou's vigil. Seeing that Sun Doudou didn't notice that Emperor Wu Zhou had a nightmare last night, Sun Kui scolded the apprentice in his heart and decided to teach the apprentice a hard lesson later.

"Ah......" Emperor Wu of Zhou opened his mouth wide and yawned without the image of an emperor, "It's not a nightmare, and I don't remember what I did." ”

"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, if the slaves and maids were on duty last night, the slaves and maids will definitely prepare a bowl of soothing soup for you." Sun Kui said with self-reproach.

Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you." With that, he yawned several more times.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid should call the imperial doctor."

"But I didn't sleep in my dreams, so I called the doctor." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "What I need now is sleep, not a doctor. ”

"But, Your Majesty, you are about to go to court."

"I don't want to go to court anymore, and I don't want to go spring hunting." Emperor Wu of Zhou lay on the table, pulled his eyelids, yawned while eating baked cakes, and said without energy, "I want to sleep now." ”

Sun Kui said: "Your Majesty, you still finish going to the court, and sleep on the way to the paddock." ”

"No, I'm going to sleep right now." Emperor Wu of Zhou playfully said, "I am very sleepy now, I just want to sleep, and I don't want to do anything else. As he spoke, he yawned again, "Go and tell them that you won't go to court today, and you won't go to spring hunting, and let them go back."

Sun Kui heard this, and said in his heart with deep helplessness, here it is again! The emperor's old mistake has been made again!

"Your Majesty, you must go to the early dynasty, and you must also go to the spring hunt."

"I won't go, I just won't go."

"Your Majesty, you are a man of his word, you can't talk and don't count it." Sun Kui said patiently, "The spring hunt was held by you yourself, and now everyone is ready, if you say you won't go, wouldn't you break your promise?" ”

"What's wrong with me breaking my promise?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said impatiently, "I don't want to be this broken emperor, I don't want to be it." "When this broken emperor can't even sleep.

Looking at Emperor Zhou Wu, who was playing a scoundrel like a child, Sun Kui said helplessly: "Your Majesty, there is still a moment to go to the court, you can also play temper for a while......" Before he finished speaking, his face was hit by the baked cake in Emperor Zhou's hand.

"You are not so bold that you dare to laugh at me." Emperor Wu of Zhou glared at Sun Kui angrily.

Sun Kui smiled flatteringly at Emperor Wu of Zhou: "How dare a slave." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his feet and put them on the dining table, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes with an expression of "Lao Tzu wants to sleep, it is useless for the king of heaven and Lao Tzu to come".

Sun Kui didn't speak again, quietly, and stood aside without panic at all.

This is not the first time that Emperor Wu of Zhou has done this, Sun Kui has become accustomed to him playing tricks from time to time.

In the past, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not want to go to court, and Sun Kui also persuaded Emperor Wu of Zhou bitterly. couldn't be persuaded, he also pulled He Xiang and Liu Taishi to persuade Emperor Wu of Zhou.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu told him not to bother with Emperor Wu of Zhou, let him go crazy, and when he finished going crazy, he would honestly go to the court.

Sun Kui didn't believe it at first, but later found out that it was true. After that, Emperor Wu of Zhou went crazy again, Sun Kui symbolically persuaded a few words, and then obediently stood aside and waited for Emperor Wu of Zhou to finish his madness.

Emperor Wu of Zhou closed his eyes and squinted for a while, and when he saw that Sun Kui did not continue to persuade him to go to the court, he opened one eye and looked at Sun Kui: "Sun Tzu, why don't you continue to persuade me?" ”

Regarding Emperor Wu Zhou's reaction, Sun Kui was not surprised at all. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Because the slave knows that the emperor can't go to the court." ”

His heart was seen through, and Emperor Wu Zhou's face did not show the slightest embarrassment or annoyance. He pursed his lips and said, "Sooner or later, I will abolish the early dynasty." ”

Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, you have said this sentence not long after you became the emperor, and you have not dared to abolish the early dynasty until now.

Emperor Wu of Zhou put away his feet on the dining table, and then picked up a piece of baked cake from the dining table and ate it.

Seeing this, Sun Kui hurriedly went to bring a cup of hot tea.

Emperor Wu of Zhou ate the baked cake in a few bites, took the tea cup brought by Sun Kui, and drank it without any image. After drinking the tea, he put the tea cup heavily on the dining table as if he was angry.

Watching Emperor Wu of Zhou play with a child's temper, Sun Kui lowered his head and covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.

Emperor Wu of Zhou snorted coldly, then stood up, put his hands in his sleeves, and dragged his feet towards the main hall of Chengguang Palace.

"Aren't you going to spring hunting today?" Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly asked.

Sun Kui followed behind Emperor Wu of Zhou, and when he heard him ask, he didn't understand what he meant, but he still replied obediently: "I really want to go to spring hunting today." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou spread his hands and said with a look of disbelief: "Since you are going to spring hunting today, why do you have to go to the early court today?" Why not just go to the paddock? ”

The corners of Sun Kui's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you are the one who wants to go to the early dynasty." ”

"How is it possible, I hate the early dynasty the most?"

Sun Kui patted the horse's ass, no, the dragon fart said: "Because the emperor, you are a diligent emperor and never waste the early dynasty." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his foot and kicked Sun Kui's buttocks: "Don't pour ecstasy soup on me." ”

"Your Majesty, you have wronged the slave maid, the slave maid is telling the truth, since you ascended the throne, you have been conscientiously going to the early court, except for the first queen's resignation, you have not gone to the court for a day." Sun Kui said honestly, "You have been seriously ill several times before and insisted on going to the court......"

Emperor Wu of Zhou was impatient to listen to Sun Kui say this, and raised his hand to interrupt Sun Kui's words.

"I know that I am conscientious, so I don't need you to pat myself."

Sun Kui smiled wryly: "The slave is too talkative." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou suddenly raised his hands and stretched his waist vigorously, "Do you say that this year's spring hunting will be a good show?" ”

Sun Kui's heart jumped, and he immediately said respectfully: "The slave doesn't know. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou turned his head and looked at Sun Kui with a smile: "This year's spring hunt may have a good show." "Oh, he dragged on for a long time.

Seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou's appearance, Sun Kui knew that his bad taste was coming again.

"Your Majesty, you say that, is there something going to happen to the spring hunt?"

"How do I know?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said, smiling incomprehensibly, "I hope something will happen, so that spring hunting will become fun." ”

Belch...... Your Majesty, is it really good that you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic?

"Your Majesty, isn't this a danger in the paddock?"

"It's fun to be in danger." Emperor Wu of Zhou winked at Sun Kui, "I hope they won't let me down." With that, he whistled and walked towards the main hall.

Does the emperor know something?

When the ministers in the main hall heard the whistle, they knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou was coming.

Listening to the emperor's whistle, it seems that the emperor is in a good mood today.

Emperor Wu of Zhou lay directly on the dragon chair and accepted the worship of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

After the ministers stood up, they reported one by one on the preparations for the spring hunt.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was lying on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he listened.

After the ministers finished reporting the matter, Emperor Wu of Zhou opened his eyes, then sat up suddenly, waved his big hand and said, "Let's go spring hunting." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou returned to the dormitory and changed into regular clothes. He did not ride a horse, but got into a carriage.

Once he got into the carriage, he lay on his back on the carriage, "I want to sleep, so that they don't disturb me." ”

Sun Kui: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The crown prince and the acting king rode horses, guarding both sides of Emperor Wu of Zhou's carriage.

The three princes followed on horseback.

Zhao Yao didn't ride a horse, and sat in a carriage with Liang Zhaoyi. Like Emperor Wu of Zhou, he got into the carriage to catch up on sleep.

More than an hour later, Emperor Wu of Zhou led his ministers to the royal enclosure in the eastern suburbs.

The enclosure was already surrounded by Janissaries and tents had been set up in the paddock.

Before the spring hunt officially begins, it is necessary to beat the drum to encourage people.

The acting king took the initiative to ask for the drums.

The sound of loud drums resounded throughout the paddock.

Everyone present listened to the excitement of the blood, while the animals in the paddock fled in all directions in fright.

After the drumming was over, Emperor Wu of Zhou encouraged everyone to hunt well. He will reward the top prize in the spring hunt this year.

Hearing the word "heavy reward", the people who came to participate in the spring hunt were immediately full of enthusiasm.

The fourth prince changed his clothes, and when he saw that Zhao Yao hadn't come to him for a long time, he asked Wei Mian, "Hasn't the tenth brother come yet?" ”

"Not yet." Wei Mian said, "Slave maid go and take a look." ”

The fourth prince nodded his head.

When Wei Mian went to look for Zhao Yao, he saw Zhao Yao talking to the four teenagers from a distance. He took a closer look and found that it was General Song's youngest son.

Ten Highnesses actually know General Song and their youngest son?

Why haven't you heard from His Highness the Ten?

Wei Mian saw that Zhao Yao and Song Jicai were talking and laughing, and hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to step forward and call Zhao Yao.

After hesitating, Wei Mian still decided not to go forward. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zhao Yao looked at him. He had no choice but to step forward.

"I've seen the Ten Highnesses." Wei Mian first saluted Zhao Yao, and then saluted Chu Huan and the four of them, "I've seen four little boys." ”

Song Jicai looked at Zhao Yao suspiciously. Zhao Yao introduced to them: "He is the person next to my fourth brother, Wei Mian. ”

"Wei Mian, did the fourth brother send you to call me?"

"Your Highness saw that you had not come to him for a long time, so he asked the slave maid to see if you were ready."

"I'm about to take them to meet the fourth brother." Zhao Yao was in contact with Chu Huan, and he didn't plan to hide it from the four princes. Besides, you can't hide it if you want to, after all, it's in the same paddock. "Let's go, I'll take you to see my fourth brother."

A moment later, the fourth prince was very surprised when he saw Zhao Yao bring General Shen and their four youngest sons to him.

How could the tenth brother have a relationship with General Shen and their youngest son?

After Zhao Yao introduced the four of them to Chu Huan and the four princes, he introduced the four princes to Chu Huan and them.

Chu Huan is of course the fourth prince they know, and they have also heard their father and brother praise the four princes. However, the four princes looked cold, making people afraid to approach.

"Fourth brother, I'll hunt with Chu Huan and them today, you go hunt with your father and the emperor." While there is no accident in the spring hunt now, let the fourth brother hunt with his father, and let the fourth brother come out on top again.

The fourth prince obviously disapproved of this, his brows furrowed, and he was about to say something, but he was interrupted by Zhao Yao.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, we won't mess around, and there won't be any accidents." Zhao Yao raised his hand and swore, "I promise you, we will hunt nearby and will not go far. ”

Chu Huan and the four of them nodded one after another.

"But ......"

"Fourth brother, I'll hunt with you tomorrow, and today you can hunt with your father and the emperor." Zhao Yao said, pulled the fourth prince around, and whispered to the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, don't let the third brother and them be in the limelight, otherwise the third brother and they will be proud again." ”

The fourth prince furrowed his brows and did not speak.

Zhao Yao patted the arm of the fourth prince and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, I am optimistic about you." After speaking, he took Chu Huan and the four of them and left.

The four princes frowned and looked at the back of Zhao Yao and them leaving.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Tenth has such a good relationship with General Song and their youngest son!" Wei Mian still felt incredible, "His Royal Highness Ten didn't say anything about this before. ”

Just now, Zhao Yao told the four princes that he was Xiu Mu who went out of the palace to play and met Chu Huan and the four of them, and then he didn't know them.

The fourth prince and Wei Mian were surprised when they heard this.

"Your Highness, His Highness Ten ......"

Wei Mian's words were not finished, but the fourth prince understood what he meant.

"The tenth brother is not that kind of person." The fourth prince said very firmly, "The tenth brother doesn't have that kind of scheming. ”

"Then why didn't His Highness Tenth tell you about his acquaintance with General Song and their youngest son?"

The fourth prince suddenly smiled and said, "Eight or nine out of ten is forgot." ”

Wei Mian: "......"

He couldn't refute His Highness's words. With the temperament of His Highness Ten, maybe he really forgot.

"You're afraid of my fourth brother?"

Fang just took Chu Huan and the four of them to see the fourth brother, and the four of them all looked scared and nervous. Now that they have left the fourth brother, they are still the same.

"Who is not afraid of the four princes." Zhang He rubbed his arms and said to Zhao Yao, "The cold face of the fourth prince makes people scared when they see it, isn't it three pieces of wood?" ”

Shen Sen nodded again and again: "Yes, the fourth prince is cold, and people dare not approach." ”

Song Jicai echoed: "The fourth prince is very scary. ”

Chu Huan said: "I am most afraid of this kind of cold person. ”

"The fourth brother looks cold, but he is actually a very good person." Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Fourth brother is very good to me. ”

"Boss, even if you say so, we think the four princes are cold and scary."

"Fortunately, boss, you didn't let us hunt with the four princes."

"The fourth brother is cold-faced and hot-hearted, you don't have to be so afraid of him." In Zhao Yao's heart, the fourth prince is the best brother in the world.

"My father and eldest brother often say that the four princes are mature and stable." Chu Huan said, "It is also said that the four princes are very similar to the emperor. ”

"My dad and eldest brother also talked about it."

"The fourth brother is like his father?" Zhao Yao was surprised, "Where does the fourth brother look like his father?" "The fourth brother is not at all like his father in terms of appearance and temperament.

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "My father, they didn't say in detail where the four princes looked like the emperor, but they always said that the four princes looked like the emperor. ”

"Who else does your father say is like his father?"

"My father, they only said that the four princes are like the emperor."

Zhao Yao pursed his lips and said, "The fourth brother is not like his father. "The stinky father is so bad, the fourth brother is not like him.

"Boss, where are we going to hunt next?"

"Where did you go hunting last year?" Zhao Yao said, "We're hunting nearby, don't go too far, otherwise the fourth brother will worry about us." "If you go too far, you might encounter something bad.

Chu Huan pointed in the direction of the north: "Boss, we go to the forest over there every year, there are few people who go to the forest in the north, but there is no big prey." ”

"Although there are a lot of prey in other places, there are also a lot of people who we can't grab when we go."

"Boss, if you want to hunt more prey, go to the woods to the east."

Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the forest where there are not many people, or go to the north forest before you go." "He didn't want to come out on top and hunt fierce prey like bears or wolves. He just wanted to hunt a few foxes and a few deer.

In the main tent, Emperor Wu of Zhou was lying on the couch with Erlang's legs crossed, his hands pillowed behind his head, and his mouth was humming a minor tune.

Sun Kui stood beside him, and when he saw that he didn't go out hunting, he felt strange in his heart.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going out hunting?"

"No, no." Emperor Wu of Zhou turned over, lay on his side on the couch, rested his head on his arm, and said in a light tone, "I want to rest." ”

"Didn't you say you were going out hunting?" Sun Kui reminded, "Several highnesses and generals are waiting for you." ”

At this time, Shen Hu shouted outside the account: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou pursed his lips, then got up and said, "I'll play with them." ”

Sun Kui hurriedly followed.

Seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou come out, the crown prince and Shen Hu hurriedly saluted him.

"Your Majesty, let's have another competition this year."

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Shen Hu and said, "Tiger, when did you win against me?" ”

Shen Hu said unadmittedly: "Maybe I can win you this year." ”

"In this way, Tiger you want to win me, and I will reward you with the good wine in the palace."

When Shen Hu heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into light, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is what you said." ”

"I said it." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, looking Shen Hu up and down teasingly, "Tiger, if you lose, what are you going to give me?" ”

Shen Hu said: "But it's up to you to dispose of it." ”

"Father, my son also wants to compete with you." The acting king suddenly interjected, "Erchen hasn't hunted with you for several years, and I want to compare with you." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and patted the acting king on the shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, let me see if you have grown in the past few years." ”

When the acting king heard Emperor Wu of Zhou say this, he smiled very happily: "Father, the son will not show mercy later." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and knocked on the head of the next king, and scolded with a smile: "I still need your subordinates to show mercy?" I'll lose to me later, but don't cry. “

"Father, the son is not a child, how can he cry." After the acting king finished speaking, he looked at the prince standing aside, "I haven't hunted with my eldest brother for a long time, otherwise my eldest brother will also compete with us." ”

The crown prince had already guessed that the acting king would invite him to compete. He smiled and refused: "I can't hunt, so I won't compete with you." ”

"'Big brother, aren't you afraid of losing to me and my father?' The acting king deliberately used these words to provoke His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I'm no match for you and my father." The crown prince said very calmly, "Second brother, you can compete with your father." ”

The acting king did not expect the crown prince to admit that he was not his opponent, which surprised him very much. He thought that with the prince's temperament, he would be provoked by him, and he would definitely be fooled and agree to compete with him, but he didn't expect the prince to take the initiative to admit that he was inferior to him.

"Big brother, are you really not going to compete with us?"

"No, I won't be ugly." The prince said with a smile.

At this time, the fourth prince and the third prince came over.

When the acting king saw that the four princes were coming, he invited them to participate in the competition together.

The four princes, of course, are willing to participate.

Emperor Wu of Zhou took the acting king and Shen Hu and them to the east of the forest.

Although the prince did not participate in the competition, he also followed them to the eastern forest.

At this time, in the forest to the north, Zhao Yao and Chu Huan were stunned.

"What about the prey?" Zhao Yao and the others entered the forest to the north for a while, but they didn't see a single prey. "Didn't you say there were foxes and deer here? Why haven't you seen any of them? ”

Chu Huan and the others also felt strange.

"Boss, we didn't lie to you, although there are not many prey in this forest, there are foxes and deer, and hares."

"We also hunted a few hares in this forest last year."

"We saw several deer in this forest last year, but we didn't hunt any."

"There are foxes, white foxes and brown foxes, but unfortunately we didn't catch them."

Zhao Yao looked around again, this forest, except for birds, there were no other animals.

Chu Huan frowned and said, "It's so weird, why don't you have a single prey?" ”

"Yes, even if you can't see foxes and deer, at least there will be hares, and there are no hares."

"There is no one else in this forest but us. Even if there were other people, it would be impossible to hunt all the prey in this forest. ”

Zhao Yao suddenly thought of the advice of the Eighth Prince before leaving. In my heart, there is something strange about this forest. No, this forest is in danger.

"Since there is no prey in this forest, let's change places." You can't stay in this wood, you have to get out of here.

Chu Huan asked, "Boss, where are we going?" ”

"Go to the woods to the south." Zhao Yao said, "Let's go now, otherwise at noon, we won't be able to hunt a single prey." ”

Chu Huan and the others didn't notice anything unusual, and followed Zhao Yao out of the forest.

Out of the northern forest, Zhao Yao glanced back, and then rode to the southern forest as if nothing happened.

When the fourth brother came back from hunting, he reminded the fourth brother that there was no prey in the forest to the north. With the fourth brother's cleverness, he should be able to guess that there is something abnormal in the forest in the north.

The two are more in one chapter.

I saw that Lao Tie left a message asking why the protagonist hadn't grown up yet, when he was going to build a fiefdom and something like that.

It is a medium-term matter for the protagonist to go to the fiefdom to engage in infrastructure, and at that time, the curtain is about to come to an end.

The reason why I am still writing about the male protagonist's childhood is that on the one hand, it is to pave the way for the male protagonist to go to the fiefdom to engage in infrastructure, and on the other hand, it is to seize the heir. Although the male protagonist did not participate in the succession, he will witness the entire process.

And the male protagonist has to do a lot of things before he goes to the fiefdom.

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass!

(End of chapter)
