At the beginning of the day, Zhao Yao was woken up by Tongxi on time.

At this time, it was not yet dawn.

Zhao Yao sat up, yawned, and stretched his waist with his hands raised. He heard the sound of rain outside the window, yawned and asked, "It's raining outside?" ”

Tongxi brought Zhao Yao a cup of warm water, and respectfully brought it to Zhao Yao with both hands.

"It's not small."

"When was it ordered?" Zhao Yao took the warm water, lowered his head and drank it. The first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is to drink a glass of warm water.

"It seems to be nowadays." Tongxi said, taking out a cloak from the cabinet, "Your Highness, it's not only raining outside, but also winding, and when you go to the Wende Palace, you have to put on this cloak and save the wind." ”

mentioned going to Wende Hall to study, Zhao Yao's handsome face suddenly collapsed.

"Now I'm studying alone, why do you have to go to Wende Hall to study, why can't you teach me to read in Xingde Palace?" Now there is only one prince in Xingde Palace, Zhao Yao, who is studying, and the other princes are all adults and no longer study in Wende Palace.

That's not right, out of ten princes, there are still three princes who are not adults. The eighth prince is an adult this year, but his birthday has not yet arrived, and he is not yet an adult. The Nine Emperors are not yet adults, but he joined the army three years ago, and now he is not only not in the palace, but also in the capital.

Although the eighth prince is not yet an adult, since last year, he has not studied in the Wende Palace, but followed the prince to the court. Therefore, among the princes, Zhao Yao is the only one who reads.

"Your Royal Highness, didn't the emperor say it, Wende Hall is a place to study, and the princes and grandchildren must go to Wende Hall to study, you can't be lazy." Tongxi waited for Zhao Yao to get dressed, and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to go to Wende Hall to study if you endure it for a few more years." ”

"I'll have to wait at least four or five years before I graduate from the Wende Temple." Zhao Yao said with a bitter face, "Starling brothers, they have all grown up, but I am the only one who has not grown up, alas, I am so pitiful." "Why can't the mother concubine give birth to him a few years earlier, and let him become an adult with the starling brother.

"Your Highness, if you feel that you are lonely studying alone, you will have His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun to study with you next year." His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun in Tongxi's mouth is the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he will go to Wende Hall next year to start studying.

Zhao Yao raised his foot and kicked Tongxi's buttocks, and said angrily: "Do I need a little kid to accompany me?" ”

"Your Highness, don't you like His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun on weekdays?" Tongxi rubbed his buttocks and said to Zhao Yao with a smile, "There is His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun to study with you, and you also have someone to talk to, don't you." ”

"I like dumplings a lot, but the thought that I'm going to sit in a class with dumplings and study makes me feel awkward." Alas, he was reduced to studying with his nephew, which was so miserable.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Emperor and Your Highness are reading different books, what are you afraid of." Tongxi deliberately joked, "You're still afraid of being compared to His Royal Highness the Emperor." ”

"I'm really inferior to him." Zhao Yao said very self-awarely, "Tuanzi can now memorize the Analects and Mencius, but I have studied for a long time before I can recite the Analects." ”

"Your Highness, that's because you don't want to carry it. If you wanted to memorize it, you would have memorized it a long time ago. "Tongxi has been by Zhao Yao's side for so many years, and he doesn't know that His Royal Highness has been pretending to be stupid.

"I don't like endorsements." Zhao Yao got dressed and went to the next ear room to wash.

Tongxi took the toothbrush and dipped it in tooth powder, and then handed it to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao took the toothbrush and lowered his head to brush his teeth.

The two things of toothbrush and tooth powder were made out by Zhao Yao a few years ago. Nowadays, it is not only popular in many places in the Great Zhou, but also in the countries of the Western Regions.

Of course, toothbrushes and tooth powder were sold by the Liang family first. Later, the Liang family sold toothbrushes and tooth powder to countries in the Western Regions, and they were deeply loved by people from all countries in the Western Regions. Don't say anything else, just saying these two things has made the Liang family make a lot of money in the Western Regions.

The Liang family's shops have been opened all over the countries of the Western Regions. However, the Liang family firm is not the first firm in the Western Regions. Although the Liang family grabbed the first cup of business in the Western Regions, the Liang family could not compete with the family.

Seeing that the Liang family had made a lot of money doing business in the Western Regions, the gate valve families immediately followed suit. The gate valve family has a lot of money and a lot of people, and not long after he went to the Western Regions, he became the first, second, or third commercial house in the Western Regions.

Although the gate valve families did not take the Liang family seriously, because the Liang family was an imperial businessman, they did not embarrass the Liang family. Moreover, the Liang family is also very smart and interesting, and never competes for business with the gate valve family.

The Liang family is not as good as the door valve families, but the Liang family's business is still very good. Over the years, he has been making a fortune in a muffled voice.

Zhao Yao washed up, and the people in the small kitchen brought the prepared breakfast.

A year ago, Zhao Yao lived in Xingde Palace, and lived in the former house of the four princes.

Zhao Yao is now a half-old boy, very good at eating, and he has to eat a lot of things for breakfast every day. Today's breakfast consists of a drawer of siu mai, two bowls of porridge, two steamed buns, two meat buns, two baked cakes, two boiled eggs and a bowl of goat's milk.

Don't look at him eating so much for breakfast, he is hungry before noon, so he will prepare milk tea and snacks for him in the small kitchen. When he was resting, Tongxi took some snacks from the small kitchen and sent them to him in the Wende Palace.

Tongxi saw that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, so he hurriedly took out a coat and put it on Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao saw that it was raining heavily, and he didn't want to go to Wende Hall to study: "It's raining so hard, if you don't go to Wende Hall to ask me for leave, maybe Mr. will agree." ”

"Your Highness, you should die, unless you have a knife in this world, you must go to study." Tongxi ignored Zhao Yao's words and put on a robe for him. "Your Highness, we have to hurry up, or we'll be too late to study. Today's first class is Mr. Xiao's class, if you are late, Mr. Xiao will hit your palm. ”

"Mr. Xiao won't hit my palm." Zhao Yao said with a smug face, "His old man is reluctant to beat me." ”

"Then you can't rely on Mr. Xiao to hurt you, be late."

"Alright, I got it." Zhao Yao waved his hand and asked Tongxi to step aside, and he tied his own robe.

Tongxi took the book that Zhao Yao was going to read today, and followed Zhao Yao out with an umbrella.

Qingming has passed, but it rains from time to time in the capital, making the weather that has finally warmed up cold again.

As soon as Zhao Yao walked out of his courtyard, he saw the Eighth Prince walking towards him with an umbrella. He immediately raised a smile: "Morning, starling." ”

"Early, tenth brother." The eighth prince was relieved to see that Zhao Yao was wearing a lily robe and did not get a little rain. "When I saw that it was raining this morning, I didn't ask you to come to my house for breakfast."

On weekdays, Zhao Yao went to the Eighth Prince for breakfast and dinner. For lunch, Zhao Yao went to Kunde Hall to use it with Concubine Liang.

"Starling, if you don't have breakfast with me, you must not have any appetite and haven't eaten much."

Yu Hai, who was following behind the Eighth Prince, said: "Your Highness the Ten, you are right, Your Highness ate a bowl of porridge and a baked cake for breakfast. ”

The Eighth Prince glared at Yu Hai: "You talk a lot." ”

"Starling, I knew that you wouldn't have a good meal without me." Zhao Yao looked at the thin body of the Eighth Prince, and shook his head hatefully, "Starling, I didn't say you, you see that you are as thin as a bamboo pole, and the wind can blow you away." In the past few years, he has been forcing the starling to eat more, but the starling is still a small bird and can't eat much.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say." The Eighth Prince laughed, "I'm not as thin as a bamboo pole." ”

"It's pretty much it."

"I see that you eat a lot on weekdays, and I don't see you gain weight." The Eighth Prince joked to Zhao Yao, "You're not much fatter than me." ”

"Starling, I'm the time to grow my body now, and I won't get fat no matter how much I eat, because I want to grow tall." Zhao Yao stretched out his hand and compared the height of him and the Eighth Prince, "Starling brother, in a while, I will be taller than you." "Zhao Yao is only half a head shorter than the Eighth Emperor now." Starling, if you don't eat well, you're going to become the shortest of our brothers. ”

The Eighth Prince didn't care about this, and said in an indifferent tone: "I don't need to be so tall, the shortest is the shortest." ”

Zhao Yao heard the Eighth Prince say this, and a very speechless expression appeared on his face.

"Starling, you even care that you are the shortest?"

The Eighth Prince squinted at Zhao Yao and said, "Why do you care? ”

"Starling, don't you think it's a shame for a man to be short?" Zhao Yao is not very satisfied with his current height, he wants to grow to seven feet. A seven-foot man is a real man. However, if it is less than seven feet long, then it should be at least six feet. "Brother Starling, a seven-foot man is a real man, you and I don't even have six feet now, you don't care."

"Isn't you a man if you're less than seven feet long?" The Eighth Prince didn't know why Zhao Yao cared so much about his height, "You starling, I'm not a man, I'm a woman?" ”

Zhao Yao said silently in his heart: Starling, if you look at your appearance, everyone will think that you are a woman.

The eighth prince, who is about to become an adult, has his facial features open, and his face is getting more and more colorful. However, because of his thin body and a face whiter than a woman, he made his eyebrows more feminine.

"I'm not even six feet, but I'm not the shortest in the court." The Eighth Prince didn't think he was short, and he was quite tall compared to the ministers of the court. Of course, compared to the princes, he was indeed the shortest.

The Zhao family is very tall. The first emperor had six feet, and the emperor was seven feet at all.

The ministers of the court were basically less than six feet tall, and even many of the generals were less than six or seven feet tall, about the same height as him.

"Starling, but you are the shortest in our old Zhao family." Zhao Yao encouraged the Eighth Emperor and said, "Starling, in fact, you can still grow taller, but you have to eat more." ”

Hearing Zhao Yao's last words, the Eighth Prince knew Zhao Yao's purpose for saying that he was short before, and couldn't help laughing: "Tenth brother, you really took great pains to let me eat more. ”

"It's a pity, starling, you don't pay attention to my hard work." Zhao Yao's face showed a look of injury, "In order to let you eat more, I really tried my best, and you ...... Alas......"

The eighth prince smiled: "I also want to eat more, but unfortunately I can't eat more, as soon as I eat too much, I will be nauseous." "For so many years, the imperial doctor has been nourishing the stomach and intestines of the Eighth Prince, but he has not completely nourished the stomach. Although it is not like the cold sweat that often hurts when I was a child, I can't eat more, and if I eat a little more, my stomach will be uncomfortable.

"Starling, you can't eat too much at once, but you can eat a few more meals, eight meals a day is good."

"Eight meals a day, pigs can't eat so much."

"Starling, if you can grow as fat as a pig, thank God."

The Eighth Prince reached out and knocked the hat on Zhao Yao's head.

The brothers talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the Wende Hall.

After the Eighth Prince sent Zhao Yao to the Wende Palace, he turned around and went to the Chengguang Palace.

Not long after Zhao Yao sat down, Mr. Xiao walked in with a book.

Mr. Xiao didn't rush to give Zhao Yao a lesson, but chatted with Zhao Yao first. After chatting for a while, Mr. Xiao gave Zhao Yao a lesson.

On the other side, not long after the eighth prince arrived at the Chengguang Palace, he went to the morning court.

The eighth prince did not have the title of king, and he did not have an official position. However, because he is the status of the prince, he stands behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As for the other princes. His Royal Highness the Acting King continued to stay in the capital for several years and did not go to his fiefdom Jizhou. The third prince originally wanted to stay in the capital forever, but was driven by the emperor to his fiefdom Jiaozhou two years ago.

After the fifth prince and the sixth prince became queens, they immediately went to the fief like the fourth prince. They also did not want to go to the fiefdom, but the emperor did not let them stay.

The Seventh Prince has also become an adult king, but he did not go to the fiefdom, but stayed in the capital, and stayed because of his bad health.

A few years ago, the Seventh Prince participated in the autumn hunt and fell off his horse and was very seriously injured. Since then, his body has not been very good.

Whether the body of the Seven Princes is really bad or fake, the ministers of the court and the central government all know it.

Because he is not in good health, he does not have any official position in the court, and he is an idle prince.

The Nine Emperors are in the forbidden military camp outside the capital, and he is currently a six-rank young general.

There is a major event in the early days of the dynasty, that is, the new Mao Dun Shan Yu is about to send an envoy to the Great Zhou.

Since the end of last year, the northern border has not been very peaceful, and from time to time a group of Huns have come to harass the northern border, making the people in the north uncomfortable.

The Great Zhou naturally could not let the Xiongnu keep harassing the northern border, so he sent troops to exterminate them, but as a result, this group of Huns could not be caught at all like loaches.

The emperor wrote a letter asking Xin Mao Dun Shan Yu what his intentions were, and Xin Mao Dun Shan Yu said that he did not know about this and that he did not send anyone to disturb the Great Zhou.

Later, he sent someone to investigate, saying that the Xiongnu who went to disturb the northern border of the Great Zhou were a group of bandits and had nothing to do with the Xiongnu royal court.

Naturally, the Emperor did not believe that Xin Mao Dun was just saying this. He knew in his heart that this was a new Mao Dun Shan Yu who was testing Da Zhou. The emperor said forcefully that if the Xiongnu did not give Da Zhou an explanation, then Da Zhou would seek justice himself.

Seeing that the Great Zhou Emperor was so arrogant, Xin Mao Dun Shan Yu felt a little uncertain, and hurriedly said that he would send someone to catch these bandits, and then send them to the Great Zhou Emperor, at the disposal of the Great Zhou Emperor.

As a result, there were Xiongnu to envoy the Great Monday.

The emperor and his ministers knew that the purpose of the Xiongnu envoys to the Great Zhou was to find out the true situation of the Great Zhou, and they not only could not take it lightly, but also deterred this group of Huns.

There is one more more.

One foot in the text is 33.33333 centimeters.

Irons, ask for tickets!!
