Jiang Chuan scratched his head at a loss, and took the time to ask Teng Liao who was behind him, "This...is it possible for him to hit him to calm down?"
Teng Liao recalled his experience of fighting with his wife on weekdays, and said: "You have to let the wife fight, otherwise he will keep demolishing the house until he is out of breath, and then he doesn't let it out. When he recovers, he has to continue demolishing. He hit it, and he'll be fine once he vents his anger."
Jiang Chuan nodded, thinking it made sense, so he bit the bullet and resisted the things thrown by the third prince. Unfortunately, the big things of the third prince had been thrown away long ago, not even the antique vases, and now all the things thrown over are Books and the like, hit the body without pain or itching.
The third prince was already furious, he jumped up and said, "Bring me a bow and arrow!"
"General, you can't fight this one, you have to hide!" Teng Liao immediately said, it's nothing more than a husband and wife fighting on weekdays, smashing the porcelain at home, but there is no reason to use bows and arrows.
After thinking about it, Jiang Chuan felt that what Teng Liao said was right, so he nodded, put the wooden box in his arms on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Highness, this is a token of love for you. Accept it! Calm down first, I’m leaving first, if you need anything from me, let the servants find me, of course, except helping you become the crown prince!”
"Jiang Chuan! After so many years of fighting, you have thickened your skin, right! You shameless! Come here! Where are my bows and arrows!"
The third prince is not good at swearing, and there are only a few words when he scolds. Knowing that the master was in a hurry, he even used his lightness kung fu all the way, so he hurriedly delivered the bow and arrow to the third prince.
The third prince took the bow and arrow, and his breath calmed down. After all, he was trained by the empress according to the prince. Although scheming is difficult to teach, but literary talent and martial arts can be taught by a good master. The third prince's bow and horse are still Very skillful.
"General, run!" Teng Liao yelled, at such a short distance, even a child could shoot him, let alone the third prince's martial arts skills are not bad.
The third prince took the bow and arrow, raised his hand to aim, and after he calmed down, he was quite dignified, and the arrow pierced through the air, Jiang Chuan raised his knife to cut it off, and the third prince raised the bow to lead the arrow again, swishing another arrow.
Jiang Chuan ran away, narrowly dodging.
"Huh! It's faster than the rabbits in the paddock!" The third prince snorted coldly, seeing that Jiang Chuan didn't intend to rush over to chop him, he became bolder and continued to shoot arrows. Jiang Chuan had already rushed out of the courtyard with The personal guard got on the horse and wanted to gallop away.
The third prince followed and ran to the door, and shot Jiang Chuan again at the door. It was probably hard to dodge immediately, and Jiang Chuan had his back to the third prince. Jiang Chuan raised his hand to block it, but was shot in the arm. The third prince Only then was he satisfied, and raised his voice: "This arrow is repaying the revenge you took for grabbing my wrist and threatening me that day!"
When did Jiang Chuan grab the third prince's wrist!The guards tensed their faces, only daring to be puzzled in their hearts.
"General!" Seeing Jiang Chuan being hit by an arrow, Teng Liao was so startled that he couldn't even breathe.
"It's okay, flesh and blood!" Jiang Chuan said, and continued to ride his horse, bypassing the intersection.
The third prince seemed to have regained his face, and returned to the mansion proudly. The broken porcelain in the yard had been taken away by the winking servants, but no one dared to throw away the small wooden box. In the end, he could only take advantage of the three When the prince was in a good mood, he lowered his head and offered it up.
The third prince glanced at it, and just wanted to throw it away, but then thought that Jiang Chuan had just been shot by him, so there was no need to care about this kind of old hooligan, so he just wanted to take a look and throw it away after satisfying his curiosity, the third prince He wouldn't touch the wooden box, so he raised his chin to signal the servant to open it.
The servant bent over and opened the wooden box with one hand, and presented it to the third prince for him to see.
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and the guards beside him couldn't help looking sideways.
I saw a piece of jade pendant made of lustrous white jade in the wooden box, they all recognized this thing, this is the identity token of the Jiang Mansion, only the direct descendants have it, that is, the Jiang Manor's own family Yes, and the one in the wooden box turned out to be Jiang Chuan's personal jade token.
Jiang Chuan is now the highest official in the Jiang family, and he is also a direct descendant, so he has long taken over the position of the head of the Jiang family. Although he has been unwilling to marry a wife, there are a few good juniors in his brother's family. There is no shortage of heirs in the Jiang family, so others will not rush him desperately.
As the patriarch of the Jiang family, everyone knows how important his identity jade token is, and Jiang Chuan sent his jade token so boldly, isn't he afraid that he will damage or use it?
When Jiang Chuan came here, he was shot by an arrow and gave him a jade badge. Was it just to humiliate him?The price is too high!
The third prince frowned. If it was something else, it would be fine for the third prince to be smashed and thrown out. But if he smashed or threw away the identity jade card of the head of the Jiang family, I am afraid that he would have to fight with Jiang. The family had a deadly feud, the third prince rubbed his brows with a headache, he couldn't smash it, he couldn't throw it away, and he went back... It's a good idea!He doesn't want face? !
The third prince threw the hot potato to the guard behind him, "You guys deal with it." He waved his hand and went back to the room.
"This..." How to deal with this!The dark guard also had a headache.
"Put it away first, maybe the master will return it to the Jiang family someday."
"Yes."
……
The fact that Jiang Chuan made a big fuss in the Third Prince's Mansion and expressed his feelings in public spread in the capital, not only Du Qingchen heard about it from time to time in the shop, but also in the palace.
It has been several days since Liu Tai was called into the palace to accompany the eighth prince to study and play. On weekdays, he got up early to enter the palace, and went out before the palace gate was locked.
On this day, the eighth prince lay on Liu Tai's shoulders, hanging in Liu Tai's arms like a koala, and was carried into the palace by Liu Tai.
After entering the main hall, Liu Tai raised his eyes curiously, and was reminded by the little eunuch, then bowed his head respectfully, and put the eighth prince down, the eighth prince rubbed his eyes, walked towards his father, and threw himself into his arms, Said: "Father, I'm sleepy."
"Little Ba, let the palace servants carry you to sleep if you're sleepy!" The emperor motioned for the palace servants to take the eighth prince away, then looked at Liu Tai who bowed his head respectfully, and said with a smile, "Look at you!" Xing'er is not quiet, just sit down, come, give him some refreshments, don't starve him."
The more the emperor looked at Liu Tai, the more he felt that his eighth child might be like this when he grew up, and he liked it more and more. As he got older, he liked to see these young people with clean eyes, as if he had something in him. More vitality.
Liu Tai froze for a moment, looked around, but couldn't find where the emperor asked him to sit, but he understood the meaning when he saw the brocade carpet on the floor.
Although years of upbringing made him feel that sitting on the floor was inappropriate, the emperor never seemed to treat him as an adult man, more like teasing the Eighth Prince, treating him as a child.Liu Tai was also willing to just show his playful and amusing side to the emperor, and sat down casually. I have to say that even the carpet in the palace is much more comfortable than the cushions in ordinary people's homes. No wonder there is no sound when walking on it. .
The emperor coughed twice, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said casually: "You were walking outside the palace, did you hear about the third prince?"
Liu Tai rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know what His Majesty is talking about? There are a lot of things going on outside!"
"Jiang Chuan came to humiliate the third child." The emperor raised his sleeves to hide his cough. He seemed to have suffered from a cold a few days ago. He has been in a bad mood for the past few days. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, but he didn't feel better.
Liu Tai lowered his head, how could he talk about such things? !Jiang Chuan really came to express his heart. For a man, this is indeed a humiliation. If the third prince hadn't responded to Jiang Chuan's arrow, the whole capital would be a joke of the third prince.
But if it is said that Jiang Chuan humiliated the third prince, wouldn't the emperor want to punish him? !If there is no humiliation, then what is the matter with the third prince shooting Jiang Chuan with an arrow?Chasing and killing court ministers in the street? !
This question is so good that Liu Tai really didn't know how to get the prelude right for a while.
Liu Tai could only continue to pretend to be a child, and said, "I know about this, it sounds quite interesting."
"interesting?"
"Yes! I heard from people outside that General Jiang stayed in the frontier for a long time and came back with a bad disease. I heard that there are not many female brothers in the frontier, and men and men are quite common. Come to think of it, General Jiang is in the frontier. I got used to it, I forgot that this is the capital city, I was rude for a while! As for... the third prince, the third prince is also a wonderful person, he even shot an arrow at Jiang Chuan in a hurry, and he really hit it. One ran on a horse, Don't you think it's interesting to think about one holding an arrow and chasing after him?"
Following Liu Tai's description, the emperor seemed to think of the scene at that time, and shook his head with a smile, "Although it is interesting, it also damages the prestige of the Tian family."
Liu Tai lowered his head in silence, "Cao Min doesn't understand these things, but just thinks that the third prince must be handsome and handsome, so that he can make General Jiang forget his mind, make mistakes, and make His Majesty angry."
"You think I'm angry?"
"Your Majesty said, humiliation... But what Caomin heard outside was that the general went to express his heart and was beaten out, so in His Majesty's heart, he must be angry!" Liu Tai blinked and glanced at the emperor.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Although it hurts the prestige of the Tian family, it's just a trivial matter, so I will get angry."
"Your Majesty has a broad mind, and the grassroots admire him!"
"The third child is also grown up, he can do whatever he likes, why should I be angry?"
Liu Tai was taken aback for a moment. There seemed to be indifference in these words, and he could not hear the affection his father should have for his son. It seemed that the emperor cared about it from the beginning to the end, only that the third prince lost the face of the royal family, but Liu Tai still Said: "Your Majesty is lenient and open-minded."
"By the way, how is Lao Ba going to school these two days? Can he learn?" the emperor asked.
Liu Tai hurriedly said: "The eighth prince loves to learn very much, and he has been able to hold a brush decently in the past few days."
The emperor nodded, "He is still young, so he doesn't need to work hard to study and practice calligraphy. If he wants to play, you can also play with him."
Not too small!Liu Tai lowered his head and frowned slightly. The Eighth Prince was young, but he had already started reading when he was younger than the Eighth Prince. It seemed that when the Eighth Prince was his age, he could already write big characters. He thought that the Prince Kai Meng must be earlier than him. Who would have thought that the Eighth Prince had never even picked up a writing brush. In the past few days, he only learned how to hold a brush after coaxing and teaching him. He also thought that the emperor would be pleased by this and reward him. In the end, the emperor seemed to like The fact that the eighth prince can write a pen is quite disapproving!
It's really strange, he is indifferent to the third prince and treats the eighth prince as a pet. Could it be that in the emperor's heart, the real heir is the fifth prince?
It's no wonder that he usually sees the meaning behind what Brother Du said. Brother Du must also think that the fifth prince can ascend the throne, so he is so angry at him for coming to accompany the eighth prince.
Liu Tai lowered his head and said: "Cao Min understands, and must play well with the Eighth Prince."
"Ahem..." The emperor coughed twice.
Uncle Wan's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince seeks to see you."
"Let him in."
"The grassroots leave." Liu Tai got up quickly.
"No, you can just go back and stay with Lao Ba. When he wakes up later, you can play with him for a while."
"Yes." After Liu Tai got up and cupped his hands, he headed for the bedroom behind.
Outside the hall, the fifth prince was fully dressed and walked in. He was wearing a bright yellow prince's uniform and a jade crown on his head. Liu Tai secretly looked at the fifth prince's appearance from behind. He just praised the third prince just casually. He had never seen him before. After passing the third prince, seeing the fifth prince now, he truly felt that a member of the royal family was indeed worthy of the words 'dragon and phoenix, handsome and flawless'. Come to think of it, the third prince is really not bad looking .
"I see my father, may my emperor live forever." The fifth prince, who had changed into a bright yellow formal attire, looked a little more aggressive, not as gentle and refined as before.
The emperor's tone was much colder, even with a little disgust, but the fifth prince didn't seem to notice it.
"Do you know what I asked you to come here?" The emperor didn't want to show his weakness in front of the fifth prince, suppressed his coughing, straightened his chest, and said coldly.
"My son doesn't know, these days, my son is keeping his filial piety with peace of mind."
"Peace of mind and filial piety? Keep it to the library of the Imperial College? Keep it to the private friendship with Jiang Chuan?!"
"My son was wronged!" The fifth prince leaned over, with his forehead pressed against the ground, in a gesture of humility.
Liu Tai looked away silently, feeling a little uncomfortable. Just now he felt that the Fifth Prince might not be the future heir apparent. If he enters the court in the future, he will serve under his command sooner or later. What he thought was the future monarch, this humble gesture.
"Are you still wronged? Don't think you can hide the things you did from me! You have to remember, I am the master of this world!"
"Father is naturally the lord of the world, and sons and servants must help with all their heart, and dare not show any disrespect."
"If you don't have disrespect, why did Jiang Chuan suddenly go to the third prince's house to make trouble? Do you dare to say that you didn't do it behind your back?!"
"I really don't know, my father, please check! Jiang Chuan has a stubborn temperament, why would he go to the third brother's house to make trouble because of my son? My son really can't do it!"
"Isn't it true that you deliberately used tricks to slander the third brother's reputation and cut off his possibility of inheriting the throne?!"
"My son... is really wronged. Father Huang Mingjian, Jiang Chuan is only loyal to you, how can he listen to his words? My son is only the light of the firefly, how can he dare to compete with the scorching sun? How can Jiang Chuan follow his son! Please enlighten my father!" The fifth prince fell down on the ground with tears streaming down his face, completely aggrieved and helpless, looking very pitiful.
With his back to the wall, Liu Tai squatted on the ground, feeling depressed. He didn't understand. The emperor didn't like the third prince, nor the fifth prince. He loved the eighth prince like a grandson, not an heir. If he is cultivated by the emperor, then in this court, is there any prince who is favored by the emperor and wants to entrust the country?
The eldest princess and the second prince were born to Empress Yuan, but Empress Yuan died of dystocia in giving birth to the second prince, and then entered the palace to raise the eldest princess and the second prince, but the second prince was too weak and died soon, the eldest princess is safe When he grew up, he went to a dependent country with his relatives.
The third prince was born in succession, and he can be regarded as the eldest son, but the emperor obviously doesn't like it, and his attitude is cold. The fourth princess and the fifth prince are a pair of dragon and phoenix twins born to the palace. The fourth princess married to Yuyang County a few years ago The Gongsun family, the status of the Gongsun family is neither high nor low, it can be regarded as a famous local family, but they are not qualified in the capital, and they can't help the fifth prince, they can only try to make a harmonious husband and wife.
The Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess were born to concubines and were not yet married. The Eighth Prince was also born to a concubine. There are only so many princes and princesses in this dynasty. The prince is raised as the heir, what exactly does he want to do? !
Liu Tai couldn't help but hugged his knees and sat on the ground, as if he touched something that shouldn't be touched, flustered.
Outside, the fifth prince's crying explanation continued, but Liu Tai felt that his body was getting colder and colder. He was a little scared, dynasties will always change, and a new king will always appear. If the emperor concentrates on controlling the government, he always feels that he can live a long life , unwilling to delegate power to the grown-up prince, and even unwilling to establish a prince, this is definitely not a good thing for this dynasty.
Liu Tai is familiar with poetry and books. Although he seems to have a simple temperament, he is actually quite intelligent under a young heart. There are such things in history. In all dynasties, which emperor reached the end of his life, Didn't he turn to panacea for help, want to live forever, and continue to occupy the position of the ninety-five lord?Which emperor is willing to pass on to his son when he is still in good health? !
However, the other emperors at least remember to cultivate heirs and establish princes, unlike this dynasty, it seems that the emperor has enmity with these princes, let alone cultivate and pass on the throne.
In this way, wouldn't it be to bury the root of the disaster and cause a catastrophe in the future? !
Outside, the emperor seemed to be exhausted, and he didn't intend to blame the fifth prince any more, so he waved him down and said, "Study well at home and observe filial piety. Look at your little knowledge, can you use it! Before the end of the national filial piety, Don't go out and walk around again!"
"Yes, I will obey the will." The fifth prince saluted before slowly retreating.
Now the third prince is weak, and even gradually showing signs of retreat. What the emperor wants is that the two are evenly matched, not for one side to annex the other. Naturally, he will suppress the fifth prince in every possible way. If Jiang Chuan's incident is proved to be the fifth prince's doing , the emperor will definitely not let it go so lightly.
But he was just skeptical, so he could only call the fifth prince into the palace to give him a lesson instead of punishing him, but asking him to stay at home and study, isn't it a kind of confinement?It's just nice in name, but it's because the emperor cared about the fifth prince's studies. After all, the fifth prince came from a humble background and was enlightened very late. Even though he studied hard, he was still far behind others in his studies.
After the fifth prince retreated, the emperor coughed violently for a while, and regained his strength, Wan Bo immediately offered the medicine and said, "Your Majesty, quickly take some Guyuan Pill."
The emperor just took a pill and took it, and Liu Tai came out from behind with some hesitation in his expression.
After the emperor took the medicine, he felt better. Seeing Liu Tai's expression, he smiled gently. He was much more sincere than his own sons. The strangeness in Liu Tai's heart lingered for a long time. The emperor said: "This What's the matter? His complexion suddenly became so ugly, could it be that he was frightened? Hehe... don't be afraid, it's not facing you."
Liu Tai lowered his head, wasn't he frightened?But he was not scared because the emperor was angry, but because he was worried about the emperor's plan and the country.
"Look, scare this kid." The emperor pointed at Liu Tai, turned his head and smiled at Wan Bo.
Liu Tai raised his head, his gaze fell on the brocade box in Uncle Wan's hand, and said, "What is Your Majesty taking?" It must not be the elixir!No!In the past dynasties, there have been many emperors who prayed to gods and Buddhas. Who really relied on elixir to live forever?Which is not the last erysipelas ridden?
The emperor obviously knew the meaning of Liu Tai's question, but seeing his worried face, he was really worried about him, so he didn't get angry, and said instead: "This is the Guyuan pill that was bought by the imperial hospital, not a pill. , is made of medicinal herbs, taking a pill can make people feel refreshed, and even their coughs are much better.”
If it is too hospital to enter, I think there should be no problem!Liu Tai pursed his lips and didn't raise any objection, as long as it wasn't a pill.
The emperor looked at Liu Tai with a warmer expression, and said: "Look, an outsider who has only been in the palace for a few days knows that he cares about my body, but what about my children? All of them are like debt collectors. "
Wan Bo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, at least the Eighth Prince is fine."
"Yes! The old eighth is naturally good." The emperor sighed.The eighth son of his family has never had those treasonous intentions, he only thinks about his father, he is the most cute and cute.
Teng Liao recalled his experience of fighting with his wife on weekdays, and said: "You have to let the wife fight, otherwise he will keep demolishing the house until he is out of breath, and then he doesn't let it out. When he recovers, he has to continue demolishing. He hit it, and he'll be fine once he vents his anger."
Jiang Chuan nodded, thinking it made sense, so he bit the bullet and resisted the things thrown by the third prince. Unfortunately, the big things of the third prince had been thrown away long ago, not even the antique vases, and now all the things thrown over are Books and the like, hit the body without pain or itching.

The third prince threw the hot potato to the guard behind him, "You guys deal with it." He waved his hand and went back to the room.
"This..." How to deal with this!The dark guard also had a headache.
"Put it away first, maybe the master will return it to the Jiang family someday."
"Yes."

It seemed that the emperor cared about it from the beginning to the end, only that the third prince lost the face of the royal family, but Liu Tai still Said: "Your Majesty is lenient and open-minded."
"By the way, how is Lao Ba going to school these two days? Can he learn?" the emperor asked.
Liu Tai hurriedly said: "The eighth prince loves to learn very much, and he has been able to hold a brush decently in the past few days."
The emperor nodded, "He is still young, so he doesn't need to work hard to study and practice calligraphy. If he wants to play, you can also play with him."
Not too small!Liu Tai lowered his head and frowned slightly. The Eighth Prince was young, but he had already started reading when he was younger than the Eighth Prince. It seemed that when the Eighth Prince was his age, he could already write big characters. He thought that the Prince Kai Meng must be earlier than him. Who would have thought that the Eighth Prince had never even picked up a writing brush. In the past few days, he only learned how to hold a brush after coaxing and teaching him. He also thought that the emperor would be pleased by this and reward him. In the end, the emperor seemed to like The fact that the eighth prince can write a pen is quite disapproving!
It's really strange, he is indifferent to the third prince and treats the eighth prince as a pet. Could it be that in the emperor's heart, the real heir is the fifth prince?
It's no wonder that he usually sees the meaning behind what Brother Du said. Brother Du must also think that the fifth prince can ascend the throne, so he is so angry at him for coming to accompany the eighth prince.
Liu Tai lowered his head and said: "Cao Min understands, and must play well with the Eighth Prince."
"Ahem..." The emperor coughed twice.
Uncle Wan's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince seeks to see you."
"Let him in."
"The grassroots leave." Liu Tai got up quickly.
"No, you can just go back and stay with Lao Ba. When he wakes up later, you can play with him for a while."
"Yes." After Liu Tai got up and cupped his hands, he headed for the bedroom behind.
Outside the hall, the fifth prince was fully dressed and walked in. He was wearing a bright yellow prince's uniform and a jade crown on his head. Liu Tai secretly looked at the fifth prince's appearance from behind. He just praised the third prince just casually. He had never seen him before. After passing the third prince, seeing the fifth prince now, he truly felt that a member of the royal family was indeed worthy of the words 'dragon and phoenix, handsome and flawless'. Come to think of it, the third prince is really not bad looking .
"I see my father, may my emperor live forever." The fifth prince, who had changed into a bright yellow formal attire, looked a little more aggressive, not as gentle and refined as before.
The emperor's tone was much colder, even with a little disgust, but the fifth prince didn't seem to notice it.
"Do you know what I asked you to come here?" The emperor didn't want to show his weakness in front of the fifth prince, suppressed his coughing, straightened his chest, and said coldly.
"My son doesn't know, these days, my son is keeping his filial piety with peace of mind."
"Peace of mind and filial piety? Keep it to the library of the Imperial College? Keep it to the private friendship with Jiang Chuan?!"
"My son was wronged!" The fifth prince leaned over, with his forehead pressed against the ground, in a gesture of humility.
Liu Tai looked away silently, feeling a little uncomfortable. Just now he felt that the Fifth Prince might not be the future heir apparent. If he enters the court in the future, he will serve under his command sooner or later. What he thought was the future monarch, this humble gesture.
"Are you still wronged? Don't think you can hide the things you did from me! You have to remember, I am the master of this world!"
"Father is naturally the lord of the world, and sons and servants must help with all their heart, and dare not show any disrespect."
"If you don't have disrespect, why did Jiang Chuan suddenly go to the third prince's house to make trouble? Do you dare to say that you didn't do it behind your back?!"
"I really don't know, my father, please check! Jiang Chuan has a stubborn temperament, why would he go to the third brother's house to make trouble because of my son? My son really can't do it!"
"Isn't it true that you deliberately used tricks to slander the third brother's reputation and cut off his possibility of inheriting the throne?!"
"My son... is really wronged. Father Huang Mingjian, Jiang Chuan is only loyal to you, how can he listen to his words? My son is only the light of the firefly, how can he dare to compete with the scorching sun? How can Jiang Chuan follow his son! Please enlighten my father!" The fifth prince fell down on the ground with tears streaming down his face, completely aggrieved and helpless, looking very pitiful.
With his back to the wall, Liu Tai squatted on the ground, feeling depressed. He didn't understand. The emperor didn't like the third prince, nor the fifth prince. He loved the eighth prince like a grandson, not an heir. If he is cultivated by the emperor, then in this court, is there any prince who is favored by the emperor and wants to entrust the country?
The eldest princess and the second prince were born to Empress Yuan, but Empress Yuan died of dystocia in giving birth to the second prince, and then entered the palace to raise the eldest princess and the second prince, but the second prince was too weak and died soon, the eldest princess is safe When he grew up, he went to a dependent country with his relatives.
The third prince was born in succession, and he can be regarded as the eldest son, but the emperor obviously doesn't like it, and his attitude is cold. The fourth princess and the fifth prince are a pair of dragon and phoenix twins born to the palace. The fourth princess married to Yuyang County a few years ago The Gongsun family, the status of the Gongsun family is neither high nor low, it can be regarded as a famous local family, but they are not qualified in the capital, and they can't help the fifth prince, they can only try to make a harmonious husband and wife.
The Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess were born to concubines and were not yet married. The Eighth Prince was also born to a concubine. There are only so many princes and princesses in this dynasty. The prince is raised as the heir, what exactly does he want to do? !
Liu Tai couldn't help but hugged his knees and sat on the ground, as if he touched something that shouldn't be touched, flustered.
Outside, the fifth prince's crying explanation continued, but Liu Tai felt that his body was getting colder and colder. He was a little scared, dynasties will always change, and a new king will always appear. If the emperor concentrates on controlling the government, he always feels that he can live a long life , unwilling to delegate power to the grown-up prince, and even unwilling to establish a prince, this is definitely not a good thing for this dynasty.
Liu Tai is familiar with poetry and books. Although he seems to have a simple temperament, he is actually quite intelligent under a young heart. There are such things in history. In all dynasties, which emperor reached the end of his life, Didn't he turn to panacea for help, want to live forever, and continue to occupy the position of the ninety-five lord?Which emperor is willing to pass on to his son when he is still in good health? !
However, the other emperors at least remember to cultivate heirs and establish princes, unlike this dynasty, it seems that the emperor has enmity with these princes, let alone cultivate and pass on the throne.
In this way, wouldn't it be to bury the root of the disaster and cause a catastrophe in the future? !
Outside, the emperor seemed to be exhausted, and he didn't intend to blame the fifth prince any more, so he waved him down and said, "Study well at home and observe filial piety. Look at your little knowledge, can you use it! Before the end of the national filial piety, Don't go out and walk around again!"
"Yes, I will obey the will." The fifth prince saluted before slowly retreating.
Now the third prince is weak, and even gradually showing signs of retreat. What the emperor wants is that the two are evenly matched, not for one side to annex the other. Naturally, he will suppress the fifth prince in every possible way. If Jiang Chuan's incident is proved to be the fifth prince's doing , the emperor will definitely not let it go so lightly.
But he was just skeptical, so he could only call the fifth prince into the palace to give him a lesson instead of punishing him, but asking him to stay at home and study, isn't it a kind of confinement?It's just nice in name, but it's because the emperor cared about the fifth prince's studies. After all, the fifth prince came from a humble background and was enlightened very late. Even though he studied hard, he was still far behind others in his studies.
After the fifth prince retreated, the emperor coughed violently for a while, and regained his strength, Wan Bo immediately offered the medicine and said, "Your Majesty, quickly take some Guyuan Pill."
The emperor just took a pill and took it, and Liu Tai came out from behind with some hesitation in his expression.
After the emperor took the medicine, he felt better. Seeing Liu Tai's expression, he smiled gently. He was much more sincere than his own sons. The strangeness in Liu Tai's heart lingered for a long time. The emperor said: "This What's the matter? His complexion suddenly became so ugly, could it be that he was frightened? Hehe... don't be afraid, it's not facing you."
Liu Tai lowered his head, wasn't he frightened?But he was not scared because the emperor was angry, but because he was worried about the emperor's plan and the country.
"Look, scare this kid." The emperor pointed at Liu Tai, turned his head and smiled at Wan Bo.
Liu Tai raised his head, his gaze fell on the brocade box in Uncle Wan's hand, and said, "What is Your Majesty taking?" It must not be the elixir!No!In the past dynasties, there have been many emperors who prayed to gods and Buddhas. Who really relied on elixir to live forever?Which is not the last erysipelas ridden?
The emperor obviously knew the meaning of Liu Tai's question, but seeing his worried face, he was really worried about him, so he didn't get angry, and said instead: "This is the Guyuan pill that was bought by the imperial hospital, not a pill. , is made of medicinal herbs, taking a pill can make people feel refreshed, and even their coughs are much better.”
If it is too hospital to enter, I think there should be no problem!Liu Tai pursed his lips and didn't raise any objection, as long as it wasn't a pill.
The emperor looked at Liu Tai with a warmer expression, and said: "Look, an outsider who has only been in the palace for a few days knows that he cares about my body, but what about my children? All of them are like debt collectors. "
Wan Bo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, at least the Eighth Prince is fine."
"Yes! The old eighth is naturally good." The emperor sighed.The eighth son of his family has never had those treasonous intentions, he only thinks about his father, he is the most cute and cute.
