Linzhi

He Zhan spit out a sip of tea, and a few drops splashed on the rice paper. Fortunately, He Rong had already removed the written one just now, otherwise he would have to write again now.

Even so, He Rong also looked at him with disgust.

He Zhan quickly raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth: "Third brother, what's going on?"

He Rong: "Didn't I tell you that yesterday they were joking and laughing loudly, and when they mentioned you, I happened to pass by and listened to their dirty words, so I taught them a lesson."

He Zhan: "Then how do you know that Qiu Su's family has a fierce wife, where does she live?"

He Rong: "Qiu Su himself said that there is a vicious woman at home, and she wants to go back early, and was laughed at by Song Yun and others, saying that your father is also a general, but he is still afraid of guilt. I think people like Song Yun, usually Li must be a person who fights dogs and chickens in the capital, and there are many people who know about it. As expected, he asked about Qiu Su's family, so I asked Wen Jiang to write a letter."

He Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it's really not wrong for him to be picked on today.

He Rong: "Did he trouble you again today?"

He Zhan grinned: "Fortunately, General Ji punished us, but he went to Nanlufang to make a fuss, and he will probably be punished when he returns home. The third brother is the most powerful."

He Rong stretched out his hand towards him.

He Zhan was puzzled: "Huh?"

He Rong: "The money to buy new paper."

The corners of He Zhan's mouth twitched, and he touched the money bag: "Third brother, let's discuss it. The paper is not all broken, but it can still be used after cutting it. I will pay half of the money for new paper, and you will pay the other half. Why? Sample?"

He Rong didn't say good or bad, because the eldest brother He Mu came in, followed by He Xiu and He Xi.

"Sanlang, you're really a bit aggressive in the museum today!" He Mu had a troubled face, complaining in his words.

He Zhan didn't understand, so he turned to look at He Rong.

He Xiu sat down and sat down: "Brother, don't blame Saburo, those people are bullying people too much, what do they think of us? I was the one who beat people, and the debtor has the debtor. They come to seek revenge if they have the ability alright!"

He Zhan elbowed He Xi who was eating candied fruit: "What's the matter?"

He Xi: "In today's class, during the lunch break, a group of students mentioned that the birthday of the Guange Bachelor was approaching, and they were discussing what gift to give. The eldest brother heard it and wanted to give it, so I asked them, but they didn't know what to say. It was ridicule, and he said something like 'Liu Ju is here now', the eldest brother was so angry that he reasoned with them."

Liu Ju was the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was abolished due to the witchcraft case and died tragically.He Tai is not the crown prince, but he is the eldest son of the emperor, and what happened back then is similar to Liu Shi's. When those people said this, the meaning of the irony was obvious, and He Mu could bear it.

He Zhan: "And then?"

He Xi: "Then the third brother answered the sentence 'Xiao Xuan Xing Han Dynasty', and they were all dumb."

Xiaoxuan refers to Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Although Liu Ju died unexpectedly, his grandson Liu Xun finally ascended to the throne and became Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. He reigned for more than 20 years.

He Zhan said with a smile: "Third brother is quick-witted, isn't that a good answer?"

He Xi swallowed the candied fruit, and rolled his eyes: "It turned out to be a dead end, just in time to be heard by He Zhen who just came in, He Zhen refused to let go, and asked us if we were ambitious and had evil intentions, so my eldest brother quarreled with them again up."

He Mu frowned: "This statement is easy to come true, and it will cause trouble for father. We have just entered the Chongwen Museum, so there is no need to conflict with He Zhen."

But He Xiu said: "Could it be that we still have to smile when others bully us? They compared our father to Liu Shi, which is clearly a curse. We didn't say that our father is Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!"

Before he finished speaking, the two elder brothers quarreled first, He Xi coughed twice, and said to He Zhan: "We have the third brother here, they couldn't argue, so they wanted to fight, but the second brother pressed and beat him up. "

He Zhan couldn't laugh or cry, he was beating people in Beiya, and his brothers were beating people in Chongwen Hall, so it was a tacit understanding.

He Xiu grabbed a handful of candied fruit from He Xi, and said angrily, "Actually, if I could choose, I would rather go to the imperial army with Wu Lang. I hold a book and shake my head all day long. If this continues, I will be stupid!"

He Xi also sighed: "If I can choose, I want to go to Qin Tianjian!"

The complaints of the brothers made He Mu a headache. He taught him a lesson: "I used to have no books to read, so there is no way. Now I can enter the Chongwen Museum, which is the place that many people dream of. The bachelors who teach us are all contemporary masters. , look at He Zhen, he is only as old as Qilang now, and he is already fluent and eloquent!"

He Xiu curled her lips: "No matter how eloquent you are, can you compare with the third brother?"

He Rong frowned: "Second brother, are you praising me or hurting me?"

He Xi interrupted: "It's obviously hurting you!"

He Xi, who was the seventh eldest, was in poor health and was introverted and quiet. When his brothers bickered, he sat beside him, and when he saw this, he just laughed and didn't participate.

"Itchy skin!" He Xiu snatched all the snacks from He Xi's hand.

The two brothers quarreled, and He Song came in to report: "Several young gentlemen, the king of Qi and the king of Wei are here to visit, and the gentleman invites you to come and see the ceremony."

Several people looked at each other, and He Xiu couldn't help but said: "If you hit the younger one, the older one will come to the door. Could it be that you are going to complain to your father?"

He Mu glared at him: "Don't say a few words later, I will take care of you if there is anything!"

……

The emperor had many sons, but his favorite was Prince Zhaoyuan, who was born by the former empress.

Prince Zhaoyuan was talented, filial and gentle, and he was almost the ideal son in every father’s mind. But unfortunately, he died of illness more than ten years ago. The emperor was deeply saddened and ordered the Prince’s Mausoleum to be built in Next to his imperial mausoleum, so that he can always be with his son after a hundred years.

With such gems and jades in front, the other princes are somewhat inferior compared to them, especially after the rebellion between the younger brother He Yi and the fourth prince He Lin failed, the emperor has kept silent about the matter of opposing the prince since then, and the eldest son He Tai Being exiled, the only remaining princes in the capital are Qi Wang He Xuan and Wei Wang He Hui.

The King of Qi was born by Concubine Shu. He is refined and elegant, and he is a virtuous corporal. The world said that he was the first prince. Before He Tai came to Beijing, he was the most promising candidate for the prince. Although the emperor was reluctant to open his mouth for a prince, many people They all felt that the position of the crown prince, if nothing unexpected happened, should have fallen on King Qi.

He Zhen who quarreled with He Mu and the others in the Chongwen Museum today is the heir of Prince Qi.

After He Tai came to Beijing, he hadn't seen the two brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The other party suddenly came to the door together. He was also surprised. Thinking about his current status, he hurriedly saluted the two younger brothers, but was immediately supported by King Qi.

"Brother, don't hurt us, we are all brothers of our own family, even if we salute, we should salute you!" King Qi said.

He Tai said: "Nowadays there is a difference between our dignity and inferiority, and it should be so."

King Qi took his hand and walked inside: "Brother, after returning to Beijing, we also wanted to visit the door, but unfortunately His Majesty had not officially issued an edict at that time, we were afraid that if we came to the door rashly, we would cause trouble for you, so we delayed until Now."

King Wei also smiled and said: "Yes, it's better now, we brothers can be reunited again, if we come over in the future, don't you think we are annoying."

King Qi and King Wei are at the bottom of the royal family. They were young 11 years ago, and He Tai didn't have much contact with them, but now he hears these words, and he is very moved: "Thank you, I still miss my big brother. However, things are different and people are different, I am not greedy for too much now, but I am satisfied with living a peaceful and stable life."

King Qi: "Brother, you are serious. Now that you are in the capital, if you have any shortages or needs, please send someone to tell us. Whatever the younger brothers have, they will definitely be able to take it out. Even if we can't take it out, we can ask for it." His Majesty."

The three brothers had been separated for a long time, although they were still a little unfamiliar, but after a few words, they also regained some of their old warmth.

While talking, He Mu brought his brothers over to pay a visit. They stood in a row and saluted one by one.

Naturally, King Qi and King Wei had good words, praised them for their extraordinary appearance, and distributed the meeting gift to several people.

"He Zhen is also studying in Chongwen Hall now. He is younger, so he is inevitably arrogant. As brothers, if you see something wrong with his words and deeds, you can just discipline him and don't look at my face." King Qi said softly.

He didn't mention the scene where He Zhen and He Mu quarreled and fought in the Chongwen Museum, but He Mu and the others felt that he should know about it.

King Qi didn't mention his son's beating until he got up to leave.

Afterwards, He Xiu said to his brothers: "King Wei of Qi seems to be quite a good person."

After the two kings of Qi and Wei came to visit, they seemed to send out a signal that the awkward atmosphere was no longer hovering over the He family. People gradually felt relieved when they saw that the behavior of the two kings had not been reprimanded by the emperor, even though the important officials in the court had not taken the initiative to come to the door For those visiting, the natal families of He Tai's two concubines who died early began to send people over to greet them and send some things. Yuan Shi dared to come back occasionally to invite the natal families who had been away for a long time to come and sit at home.

But far away in the Guanfeng Hall in the palace city, Song Zhaoyi also summoned his son, King Wei, and chatted about the eldest son's family.

There are not many sons of the emperor, only He Tai, King Qi, and King Wei.

Therefore, although King Wei's biological mother, Song Zhaoyi, is Zhaoyi, her treatment is the same as that of Qi Wang's biological mother, Concubine An Shu. There have been rumors since last year that the emperor might give Song Zhaoyi a promotion, but so far it is only a rumor.

"I heard that you went to your eldest brother's house with your ninth brother a few days ago?" Song Zhaoyi put down the teacup, touched her lips with a handkerchief, and spoke in a gentle tone, gossip.

King Wei: "Yes, we brothers haven't met each other since the elder brother came to Beijing, so we should go to visit him because of emotion and reason."

Song Zhaoyi frowned: "Now that His Majesty has not invented the decree, and everyone is watching, it is not good for you to rush to the door, isn't it?"

King Wei: "Mother and Concubine, we are blood relatives with Eldest Brother, so it's wrong not to come to the door. Besides, we are just reminiscing about the past, not talking about major political affairs. Your Majesty will not blame you. The reason why the ministers don't come to the door is because they want to avoid suspicion. As usual, none of the courtiers would go to the idle clan's house as a guest, so why bother with those villains who play with the wind?"

Song Zhaoyi had no choice but to say, "I'll just say one sentence, and you can say ten sentences. I only heard that the young gentlemen of the eldest son's family are not cheap. One got into a fight with He Zhen in the school, and the other got into a fight with him in the school grounds." Song Yun is fighting, what's going on?"

King Wei: "It's not uncommon for brothers to have quarrels."

Song Zhaoyi: "When you were young, you were well-educated. Why were you ever so naughty? It's okay once you get out, and they make trouble wherever they go. It can be seen that this temperament is really difficult to get along with! Don't be careless. When you go back, remember to tell Dalang to leave too. Stay far away, don't be bullied for no reason."

King Wei couldn't help but laugh: "When young people fight, it's nothing more than disagreement and passion. After Dalang went back, I asked about it. It was just caused by verbal conflicts. Maybe it will be reconciled in a few days. It's not worth taking seriously." .”

Song Zhaoyi wanted to say something, but someone outside said: "You are an uncle."

Her complexion changed, she and her son quickly looked at each other, and both got up.

The emperor walked in slowly, looking in a good mood, and he didn't know how long he had been listening outside.

The author has something to say:

Small theater unrelated to the main text:

He Xi: Second brother, let me give you a suggestion.

He Xiu: Tell me.

He Xi: I bought the candied fruit. If you want to eat it, buy it yourself. Don't keep snatching it from me, okay?

He Xiu: Oh. (grabs a handful and stuffs it in his mouth)

He Xi: ...

He Xiu: I have heard the opinion, but I will not accept it.

He Xi: ...why do you bully me? I feel bitter.
