At the same time, the Grand Prince's Mansion, the hall of the palace.

The eldest prince Chu Sheng sat on the main seat, and the strategist Liu Mu stood aside. And on the seat below, there are right Xiangyu Wen Chenghua, and the fourth prince Chu Yu.

The three of them finally got together, and the purpose was naturally to discuss how to deal with Chu Mo.

Last time, under the pretext of Liu Shutong's death, they wanted to use the literati students in Kyoto and those civil officials in the court to put pressure on the Chu Emperor, hoping to give Chu Mo some punishment.

But in the end, Chu Mo was not only not punished, but because of a new academic policy, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the literati students in Kyoto praised and respected him even more.

And now, seeing that the new learning policy is being implemented step by step, the three of them naturally can't sit still. If Chu Mo really completes the new learning strategy, then who can shake Chu Mo's status in the future?

The right minister has fought against Chu Mo three or four times, not to mention the eldest prince, who has always coveted Chu Mo's position as the crown prince, and the four princes have been mixing with Chu Sheng, and they will definitely not be able to get out of it when the time comes.

If one day, Chu Mo really becomes the emperor of Chu State, then the first thing to do when he ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne must be to find a way to eradicate the three of them.

Especially Chu Sheng, he is so ambitious, it is impossible for any brother to stay on the throne.

So at this moment, Chu Sheng was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, looking at Yuwen Chenghua and Chu Yu who were sitting down, and said anxiously: "Right Xiang, fourth brother, hurry up and think of a way! Now we are also grasshoppers on a rope, if we really let Chu Mo's kid gain power, none of us will have a good life in the future." ”

"Don't be anxious, the right minister and the fourth prince are willing to come to the mansion to talk, and they will not let the prince get away with it for too long. ”

Liu Mu, the strategist next to him, was afraid that Chu Sheng's words would collide with Yuwen Chenghua and Chu Yu, so he hurriedly appeased Chu Sheng a few words, hoping to calm his anxious mood.

If he really these two characters in a moment's anger, he would really be alone.

But as soon as Liu Mu finished speaking, Chu Sheng immediately glared at him, and said angrily: "And you Liu Mu, over the years, this prince has given you no less silver taels, right? Why are you useless when you need to be used now? Every time, he said that the plan was foolproof, and he guaranteed that the prince would not be able to step down, but every time he easily coped with it, how do you explain this?"

Hearing his words, Liu Mu immediately knelt down in fright, and hurriedly explained: "The eldest prince, his subordinates have always been loyal to the eldest prince, and his subordinates will never betray the eldest prince!"

Seeing that Chu Sheng even began to suspect even the closest strategists around him, the right minister finally couldn't help but speak: "Okay, eldest prince, this person has been by your side for many years, and he shouldn't betray you easily." Now our top priority is to find a way to prevent the Prince's new academic policy from continuing to be implemented, instead of being suspicious of each other here and messing with ourselves. ”

"Brother Huang, what the right minister said is reasonable. This Mr. Liu has been following the royal brother and giving advice to the imperial brother. Although Mr. Liu's lack of handling of these recent things is not very satisfactory, it should be because the prince and others are too cunning, not that Mr. Liu betrayed the imperial brother. ”

Liu Mu also hurriedly echoed: "The eldest prince has the grace of knowing his subordinates, Liu Mu is only willing to be loyal to the eldest prince in this life, and I also ask the eldest prince to give Liu Mu another chance." ”

At this time, Chu Sheng also calmed down, waved his hand at Liu Mu and said, "Get up, Mr. Liu, just now this prince was also in a hurry, so he would have doubts about you, and I hope you don't keep it in mind." In the future, when the prince moves into the East Palace, he will personally ask his father for a half-official position. ”

"My subordinates have thanked the eldest prince first. ”

Chu Sheng nodded, didn't pay attention to Liu Mu anymore, but looked at the right minister Yu Wen Chenghua and asked, "Right minister, you have been an official in the court for many years, it is impossible that you don't even have a way to deal with Chu Mo, right?"

Yuwen Chenghua showed a sinister smile and replied: "Great prince, why are you so anxious? Do you know that the higher you climb, the harder you fall." Let's let the prince go to his new school policy in full swing first, and when he thinks everything is going well, let's give him another blow, won't we be able to hurt him even more seriously at this time?"

"Oh, in this way, the right minister already has a way to deal with Chu Mo?" Chu Sheng immediately asked happily.

I saw Yuwen Chenghua nodding silently with a smile.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

A few days later, several scholars from Wenyuan Pavilion hurriedly ran to the Prince's Mansion to ask to see Chu Mo.

The subordinates in the mansion asked them to wait in the hall first, and then immediately sent someone to the backyard and invited Chu Mo, who was practicing, over.

Chu Mo heard that these scholars were very anxious to see him, worried that something had gone wrong with the implementation of the new academic policy, so he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he went straight to the hall with the snowfall.

As soon as they entered the hall, the few Wenyuan Pavilion scholars who were sitting quickly stood up, and before they could salute, Chu Mo took the lead and said, "Don't talk nonsense, just tell what happened." ”

These Wenyuan Pavilion scholars were stunned for a moment, and one of them was the first to react before reporting to Chu Moyu: "Your Highness Qiqi, according to your wishes, we have successfully recruited some students who are quite capable of learning, and the academy has begun to transform in an orderly manner." However, there are only a few young people of school age who have signed up to study. ”

"No one signed up to study?" Chu Mo said with a frown.

These Wenyuan Pavilion scholars nodded again and again, and then continued to explain the situation to Chu Mo in detail.

Originally, Chu Mo's plan was to recruit teachers while transforming the college, and start recruiting students at the same time, and start recruiting students at the same time.

But now, a lot of teachers have been recruited, and most of the academy has begun to be renovated. The recruitment of students who were supposed to be completed first found found that there were very few students who came to sign up.

Originally, those scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion didn't want to alarm Chu Mo about these things, but they themselves came to persuade them, and even wrote a bunch of articles to call on those school-age teenagers to sign up for study.

But after several days, the effect did not show at all. Seeing that time passed little by little, but there were fewer and fewer teenagers who came to sign up for study, these Wenyuan Pavilion scholars had no choice but to come to the Prince's Mansion, inform Chu Mo of the situation, and ask him for help.

Chu Mo thought for a while, and immediately asked people to grind the ink, and in front of those Wenyuan Pavilion scholars, he sprinkled the ink and wrote a "Persuasion" in one breath.

After reading it, these scholars found that this article was full of words and sincerity, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and praised Chu Mo again and again.

Chu Mo asked them to take this "Persuasion" back, copy thousands of copies, and post it on the streets and alleys of Kyoto.
