I was the heir in ancient times

In the 13th year of the Shu Kingdom, the second year of the Little Ice Age, there was an urgent letter from outside the customs [-] miles into Beijing from the official road, and the streets were full of people. Get out of the house to move around.

The messenger Aqiutu has slowed down since he entered Beijing, and walked around the bluestone road in the inner city from the sparsely populated alleys to the imperial city. He passed the canal that became an ice rink after the river was frozen, and passed the black smoke billowing in the sky. In the iron and steel processing plant, on the one hand, there are children's laughing voices while skating, and on the other hand, the sound of workers carrying steel in the factory.

Logically speaking, the air here should not be very good, but the seaside wind is strong, and the black smoke above the factory was swept up by the cold wind for a short time, leaving a blue sky and hoarfrost all over the ground.

When entering the palace, the messenger showed his badge, and the guards at the gate of the palace respectfully let people in, but they were not allowed to ride horses after entering.

Eunuch Hua has been promoted in rank in the past two years. Apart from serving the prince, he doesn’t have to pick it up in person for such trivial matters as winning the trust. Negligent, smiling so much that after receiving the letter in his sleeve, he was about to leave, but was stopped by the messenger.

"Grandpa Hua, does Your Highness have anything to pass on to your subordinates?" the messenger Aqiutu asked with a slight bend.

Eunuch Hua sighed, and said bravely, "Our Highness didn't say that he has anything to hand over, the messenger please go back."

The messenger is used to asking each time, otherwise it will be difficult to do business when going back, even if the answer is always 'no', it is still an answer.

The mission of the messenger was completed, and he returned to the grassland immediately after leaving the palace. Now that the war is tense, the letters once every three days have gradually become once every half a month, which shows that the situation is not good.

Eunuch Hua sent the messenger away and returned to the main hall. The owner of the East Palace in the main hall was entertaining guests. When the wine was full, the dancer appeared on stage, swaying, and His Royal Highness the crown prince, with half-closed eyes, leaned on the back of the chair , slightly raised her slender and fair neck, revealing the perfectly graceful neck lines.

Seeing that Eunuch Hua came back sneakily, His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes slanted, his increasingly indifferent and majestic aura made Eunuch Hua hasten to speed up his pace, walked to His Highness's side, and handed out the letter from his sleeve.

All the people at the banquet were talented and righteous men who had been recommended by the princes in the past two years or found for him by the prince himself. Some of these people came from ordinary people, some had high status, some were over fifty years old, and some were fourteen or fifteen years old. It all depends on the "Shu Kingdom's First Ingenuity Competition" that was launched together with the imperial examination.

Now, under the leadership and advice of the prince, these people have finally built up the output of the steel plant, and are preparing to open it all over the country for house construction, machine production, bridge construction, and the next step in the research of the steam engine that the prince said. , talking about the beautiful yearning for the future at the banquet, bragging and farting with colleagues, all drunk enough.

Only His Royal Highness' wine pot was filled with white water, and he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. At this moment, holding the bamboo tube, he pulled out the rolled letter paper, and saw that there were more than [-] pages full of writing.

When the people saw the prince reading the letter, they thought it was some secret military plan in the border city, so they saw the prince standing up and pleading guilty to everyone, saying that he had resigned beforehand, no one dared to stop him, and they all sent the prince away respectfully.

His Royal Highness held the thirty-odd pages of paper, glanced roughly, but did not read them carefully. After putting all the letters in a big box in the study, he walked out again. He couldn't help but said: "My son sent about a dozen more letters this time, does His Highness really not read any of them?"

Gu Baozhen, who was standing tall and tall in the porch, was about to go back to the banquet, and his voice was cold and unattractive: "I feel that it is not interesting to watch it. It is just a little bit unpleasant. Why don't you go back and drink and chat with them, and William is also at the banquet. , He has helped me a lot, it’s not easy to let him stay there alone as a foreigner, with no one to talk to.”

Mr. Hua's heart is so cold, I always feel that I can't see through His Highness. Two years ago, His Highness had everything written on his face, so he understood very well, but now he speaks and acts a lot more coolly, and also has a lot of rules. , will not show timidity in front of outsiders easily, nor will he show his true feelings to any courtiers, just like a generation of peerless good princes, indulge in the rapid circulation of coins and bank notes, and then earn more tax money to open factories for him employee benefits.

From the perspective of Eunuch Hua, this country of Shu has changed three times a day. If he was imprisoned three years ago and went in now, he probably would not know this world when he came out now!

Originally, this person, although eating was not a problem, but he only cared about everything after eating and drinking enough. He felt that life was enough. Now he is advocating the development of local economy and building a prosperous new city. Every family has one or two who are not good at reading. The child responded to the call and went to do business. The principal of the business can go to the local government mansion to apply for a loan. Once successful, if you get a deposit of more than 100 taels, it will be terrible. The local government will issue a small certificate, which is written by His Royal Highness. He is an excellent entrepreneur and a high-quality businessman who pays taxes to the country.

Even for the glory of the ancestors, the entire Shu Kingdom has started a business boom, which has caused the number of people farming not to be as large as before, but it doesn't matter. Every year when the farming season is busy, the local government just spends money to hire people to harvest the land. Land farming can't waste the food, otherwise the imperial court's target will not be fulfilled, and the rating of the whole city will lose one star.

The hierarchical system has greatly improved the economic creation and flow of each place. There is even a library in each place, and all the books in it are borrowed for free, and the capital monthly newspaper is distributed free of charge without returning it.

What Eunuch Hua likes to read the most is the Capital Monthly, which writes about a grown-up's success every month, just like storytellers who write stories, it's a legend!

At first, Eunuch Hua thought it was just a story, and he just wanted to have fun after reading it. But after a long time, Eunuch Hua found it very serious. There are many people listening to these stories, and they are very motivating to the people. There is no way to mobilize the people's enthusiasm for reading. Now a Beijing daily has mobilized the people's enthusiasm for literacy. Even the old women in their [-]s and [-]s love to listen to the young people at home reading the stories in the monthly newspaper, and then use it to educate the children. Let them study hard and make progress every day .

Because of this, Eunuch Hua really felt that His Highness the Crown Prince is really a god-man. Since then, Eunuch Hua has no brains to believe what His Highness said. Who dares to say that the Crown Prince is wrong, he was the first to stand up and spit at that person!

But what Eunuch Hua cares most about now is not the other side, but the aides sent by the dozen or so princes in the East Palace. They are said to be aides, all of whom are white and beautiful, weak and strong, and occasionally tough. A little bit of admiration for His Highness, because everyone knows that these people called aides are actually little faces, and they are gifts from the princes to relax the prince.

Coincidentally, just as I was thinking about it, the sound of playing the qin came from behind. In the past, His Highness would occasionally talk to the staff in the backyard, but today when he heard the sound of the qin, he just paused and didn’t go to have a look. The real son of the house is even more charming, tsk tsk.

The prince's banquet ended when it was dark, and everyone left, but Prince William, who lived in the palace, did not leave. He was accompanied by the prince who was not in a good mood after reading the letter. Seeing that the prince is now more and more noble and untouchable With a sacred appearance, there is a hazy light in his pale pupils.

"What are you worrying about, Your Highness?" Prince William, who is in his twenties this year, has long blond hair, looking up at his almost omnipotent Eastern prince, with soft language and pure timbre, completely hard to tell that he is a foreigner.

Gu Baoyu, who was eating the pastries, casually rolled the crumbs of pastries on his lips into his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and said lazily, "It's nothing, it's just some state affairs."

Gu Baozhen is very busy now, so busy that many times he forgets who he is, and forgets who to miss. Only when he gets a letter from the border, does he suddenly remember that he is still a married man. There was a handsome young man who hadn't returned for many years.

This kind of feeling is not good, it makes him feel as if he doesn't like Bo Yanliang very much, but if he really wants to tell Bo Yanliang that they are 'forget it', but he can't say it for a long time, it's like this Drag, drag until now.

"Is it because the war at the border is unfavorable?" Prince William touched his chin, walked to the cushion next to Gu Baozhen and sat down, crossed his legs, propped his chin with one hand, and tilted his head to look at Gu Baozhen, "Or is it the world?" What's wrong?"

Gu Baozhen shook his head, then nodded again: "The border war is tense, and the coal mine cannot be taken down for a long time. If we fight for another two years, I am afraid that both sides will suffer..."

"Father is now lingering on the sick bed. Although I listen to the government behind the curtain every morning, I still have no idea about many things, and the development of Shu Kingdom is too slow. I always feel that your empire may think of you soon. Send a ship I came to you." Gu Baozhen casually talked about his imaginary crisis, never mentioning the cooling down of his feelings after moving away from someone.

Holding chopsticks, Prince William slowly poured several glasses of wine according to different water levels, then softly hummed the tune of their empire, knocking out beautiful music, and said: "Since you are so troubled, why don't you go to my side How about playing the violin with me all night? The music is delightful, Xiao Qi." After finishing speaking, Prince William squeezed Gu Baozhen's hand, stood up, bent down and kissed the back of his hand, "Can I have the honor of listening to you play the violin, Xiao Qi?" ?”

Gu Baozhen looked at the blond beauty in front of him with cold eyes, the villain in his heart was ready to move, he knew why there were so many foolish kings in ancient times, all the beauties in the world were courting you, even if you were not tempted, you couldn't bear to refuse!

——But he just admired it, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so it shouldn't be considered scum.

The letter at the border only caused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to blame himself for two seconds. After being warmly received by Prince William, he nodded slightly, and was held by Prince William to stand up, and they went to the Treasure Hall to play a tune together.

Eunuch Hua took it for granted that he told the young masters in the backyard that His Highness would not be coming back tonight, so he followed along to listen to the tunes played by His Highness, which are songs that only gods can play!I am so happy to be His Highness's eunuch.

It's just that when Gu Baozhen walked to the gate of the East Palace, he suddenly lost interest. He saw that it was snowing again, very much like the snow on Fotou Mountain that night...

He stopped in his tracks, complained to William that he had something to do, then turned around and went back to his study to write letters. However, every time he picked up a pen and only wrote the word 'disgusting', he felt depressed for a while, not knowing what to write, so he sat down and wrote a letter. I was in a daze before the letter for a while, thinking that I shouldn't be so indulged in it, so I regrouped and read the memorial, and lit the lamp until dawn.

On the other side, the frontier is experiencing a sudden death battle. A Xianbei royal family riding on a dark horse reveals a pair of bright eyes from the wind and snow. In front of them are surprise Huns coming from all directions, and the rear of their station is on fire. , the only way is to attack!

"Kill!" The voice of the man with dark blue eyes was full of strength, he was holding a long knife and his wrist was wrapped with a bloody bandage, and rushed to the front. This time, he had to win this duel to the death!
