Heaven is fearless

Shao Tianheng told him not to go the next day, but Chu Zhang really didn't dare to go, he was afraid of getting bored, so he just sat on the Chengming Terrace every day, staring at the frozen lake in a daze.

Within three days, people from Yaoyi Hall came and gave him a lot of Taixue clothing, books, and the Four Treasures of the Study, so that he could go to Taixue to study tomorrow.

Chu Zhang thanked En without saying a word, and obediently followed Taixue's timetable and left the East Palace before dawn.

Taixue is not far from the palace city, but it takes more than half an hour to walk from the east palace. Of course, Chu Zhang does not have the treatment of riding a chariot in the palace, so he can only take two young eunuchs to brave the cold wind and thin snow Trek forward.

The Taixue Institute is quite quaint. There is a huge sylvestris sylvestris at the entrance, and the side rooms on both sides are small study rooms for students. The decoration is simple, and it is completely used for academic study. Chu Zhang has no interest in these, just glanced at them. lap.

Most of the Taixue middle school students came from noble backgrounds, and they already knew the status of the new students. A group of nobles winked at each other and laughed, probably mocking Chu Zhang's appearance and background.

Chu Zhang didn't respond to this, ridicule and sarcasm were not a big deal for him, when he was in southern Xinjiang, as the eldest son who was not qualified to inherit the throne but carried Chu Tianfeng's expectation to be born, he got it the moment he was born. Chu Tianfeng's disappointed eyes, Chu Tianfeng is definitely not a good mother in the universal sense, she has more qualities that belong to a queen than to a mother, so Chu Zhang has long been used to the occasional absence of palace people. Snub and sarcasm often heard in the dark.

The teacher of this class also reacted calmly to his arrival, and pointed him to an empty seat, and continued to lecture, without even bothering to ask him what he had learned.

Chu Zhang walked to that seat with his own bookcase, and sat down silently. Most of the students around him looked down on the prince from the land of southern Xinjiang, but they didn't want to bully him, just smiled and pretended that he didn't exists.

At this time, the master talked about a new chapter. I don't know what came to mind, and suddenly became interested in digressing: "...When His Highness the Crown Prince broke this sentence, it took only a moment, but the intention is grand and the style is chic. I have never seen this old man in my life..."

Chu Zhang's originally depressed mood suddenly became concentrated, and he also noticed that the students around who were still whispering just now cast their eyes on the master, and they were all quite excited.

"It's a pity that His Royal Highness doesn't need to take the scientific examination, otherwise the master can have many top students!" A round-faced boy with a proud face suddenly interjected. He is probably the type of student that the master loves very much. Amidst the laughter in the room, The master just gave him a symbolic stare: "Nonsense! Your Highness's talents are unfathomable, how can a champion be described?"

He probably also realized that his description was a bit shocking, so he quickly changed the subject: "Yan Zhuo! Have you finished writing the three essays I asked you to do yesterday?"

The young man named Yan Zhuo lowered his voice by an octave: "What are you doing Lao Shi Ziwen! I'm going to cultivate immortality tomorrow!"

Amidst the laughter, the master glanced at him: "You will be as good as Da Luo Jinxian tomorrow, and you have to hand in your homework today! Also, what is that thing you are talking about? Before cultivating immortals, I have to pay a visit to Lord Yanhou!"

Cultivating immortals is difficult, but for nobles from high families, they can more or less find the threshold of immortality, but the royal family keeps secret about cultivating immortals, so the nobles in the capital are not very enthusiastic about it.

What Yan Zhuo feared the most in his life was his old father who copied the feather duster when he didn't agree with him. When he heard the words, he burst into tears, thinking about how to coax his teacher not to complain after class. He is not far from Chu Zhang.

As soon as Yan Zhuo's eyes lit up, a bad idea to bring disaster to the east jumped into his mind: "Master! This new classmate, doesn't he live in the East Palace? He is so close to His Royal Highness, so he should have been taught by His Highness, Master, instead of embarrassing a group of us who are not enlightened, why not train this classmate well, so that His Highness the Crown Prince looks up to him, maybe he is also a genius?"

Yan Zhuo said this with a smile, but everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Your Highness, who is that character?His demeanor is outstanding, his wisdom is outstanding, his talent is stunning, and he looks like a god who is unique in thousands of miles. Even the group of well-educated scholars in the Imperial Academy have to respectfully say that they are geniuses who can be regarded as teachers. Although they are far behind the prince in age Some, I haven't studied with the prince, but who doesn't have a few brothers or something, has the experience of studying with the prince?

Under the pressure of Prince Shao Tianheng, all the noble children and dandies in those few years can be said to be the most unconfident and unruly generation in history. Whoever has such a genius by his side will suffocate until every day Think about whether you are a mentally handicapped person, and you will be beaten up by parents who hate iron and steel every two or three days. How can you have the mood to bully men and women to do evil.

What Yan Zhuo said was quite ironic, Chu Zhang lowered his head silently, and the master seemed to be unable to help twitching the corner of his mouth, patted the table with the scroll in his hand, and said seriously: "Okay! Let’s talk about it later, continue to listen to the class now!”

There are many courses in Taixue. In addition to the usual literature courses such as classics, there are also martial arts courses such as imperial archery, as well as art courses such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Chu Zhang didn't like Taixue very much, and carefully maintained a grade that was neither too high nor too low, neither too prominent of himself nor too underestimated. After a long time, he also had a shallow interaction with his classmates. What a good confidant, but he will be called together when he is having fun.

Half a month later, Shao Tianheng didn't ask him to go to Yaoyi Hall again, and the relationship between the two seemed to fade away.

Another day of heavy snowfall, Shao Tianheng put on a heavy cloak and sat in the snow viewing pavilion, holding a volume of "Wei Liaozi" in his hand, hearing the voices of several staff members arguing fiercely, suddenly felt a little boring, so he asked Yingguang Waving: "How is Chu Zhang these days?"

Yingguang was wearing a light pink skirt, her eyes showed a little surprise, it seemed that she didn't expect His Royal Highness to mention other people suddenly during the discussion, but seeing how the adults were arguing together, she seemed to understand What, replied softly: "Ding Nan Gong went to and from school on time these few days, there is nothing unusual, but he is getting closer to Lord Yan and the others."

Shao Tianheng frowned and thought for a while: "Young Master Yan... is that cousin Yan Pinglan?"

Ying Guang nodded: "It's Lord Yan's cousin."

Yan is a common surname in Wei, the ancestor of Yan Zhuo was a Marquis, and Yan Pinglan is a side branch. Although he does not have a title, he can be regarded as a noble family after the lord. Two years ago, Yan Pinglan got the second place in the scientific examination and is currently studying in the Imperial Academy. Walking in the hospital, the future is limitless, because he and Shao Tianheng have a classmate friendship, they can be said to be a sure-fire princeling.

Shao Tianheng twirled the round sandalwood beads in his hands, and let out a long "huh" with a calm expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, he asked slowly, "Has he visited Concubine Chu in the past few days?"

Yingguang shook his head: "No."

She also had a little pity for that side concubine in her heart. Since entering the palace, except for the time when she had an audience, the crown prince has never seen her once. Now even her son is so indifferent to her, it is pitiful to think about it.

Shao Tianheng was about to ask more questions, but those staff turned their heads: "Your Highness, for the present plan, it is better to let His Majesty show more compassion for you. Since you came back from the south, the direction of the wind in the court has been changing." Every day is worse than every day, and many adults' attitudes towards the East Palace have also become vague, and I'm afraid it's all His Majesty's intention..."

Yingguang retreated obediently, without saying a word.

Shao Tianheng frowned and listened quietly to the staff's analysis: "Your Majesty's attitude towards the Eastern Palace is inherently unpredictable, and the second prince has not been crowned king for a long time. I'll wait to see what His Majesty wants, and I'm afraid there will still be changes in the future..."

"Exactly, if the second prince is not crowned king for a day, he will inevitably covet the East Palace, not to mention that Concubine Zhuang in the harem is powerful, and the first queen has passed away for many years. The East Palace has no eyes and ears in the harem, and is really in a weak position. "

"Didn't the matter of proposing to become king two days ago be suppressed? It was almost done, but His Majesty just went back to the harem, and was forced to be persuaded by Concubine Zhuang... What a great opportunity!"

Several people shook their heads regretfully, Shao Tianheng was unmoved, twirling the beads with his fingers, and smoothed things out peacefully: "Shao Tianhuan will reach the weak crown next year, and there is no reason to procrastinate. We can bring this up again then. If the royal father still refuses...then we have to make preparations."

His words were vague, and he didn't mention any preparations, but the expressions of the staff at the bottom became serious, and there was a little more awe in their eyes: "Yes."

As they said that, the few of them looked at each other and smiled wryly. Who would have thought that the crown prince, who had such a high reputation in the government and the public, was actually so feared by his own monarch, that he might even lose his position as crown prince?

Not only that, ordering the weak crown prince to expedition to the southern border was simply not something a loving father could do. They didn't even dare to imagine how much malice was hidden under this order.

But the matter of the Tian family father and son is hard to say, and it is even more impossible for them to publicize the difficult situation of the prince outside, so they can only lament the stupidity of Emperor Wei in private.

——Don't even want such a perfect prince, but choose to spoil that violent second prince, how did this emperor make it to this point? !

After returning from southern Xinjiang, Shao Tianheng decisively reported his illness and did not go to court for more than a month, which also satisfied the emperor. He probably felt that his son was really dying, so he rewarded a large number of medicinal materials and asked him to cultivate well , and mentioned his second son to the court to listen to politics - when the prince was around, this would never happen.

The emperor's mind was so obvious that anyone could see it. The ministers in the court hall also began to waver. There is a certain kind of breath that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full.

***

In the Sea of ​​Consciousness, Law still flies around with its little tails of stars, strolling around the heavens: "What should I do next? The Emperor's suspicion of Shao Tianheng is already very strong, and Chu Zhang is still a person who doesn't care about anything." Baby who knows... Ah, speaking of it, don't you teach him to participate in political council?"

Tiandao, who can only drink in the sea of ​​consciousness, imitated what he saw in the storybook, holding a jar of wine, slowly swaying the clear liquid in the jar: "Teaching... is to be taught, but you have to find an appropriate time .”

Fa Shi plunged into the jar, floated up and down in it for a while, and pointed out straightforwardly: "This is obviously the smell of honey water!"

Tiandao lowered his head, touched the jar with his finger, and the seal that said "drunk lotus" was changed to "honey lotus": "I've never drunk wine, how do I know the taste of wine, I heard it's a bit spicy ..."

He recalled the scattered texts he had read, wondering what "spicy" tasted like, and the law was still sinking and floating in the jar. He couldn't help but feel that his own way of heaven is really pitiful. Once he has an incarnation outside the body, he is a sick child, let alone Alcohol is gone, and I can't even eat heavy dishes.

After thinking for a while, it jumped out with its tail fluttering: "How about giving you another avatar? It's not difficult to control two avatars at the same time, but due to the restrictions of the rules, one avatar can't speak or do too complicated actions. Just taste it."

Tiandao stopped shaking the jar and looked at it with wide eyes: "Didn't you say such a good thing earlier?"

Law is even more innocent than him: "If you enter another avatar, Shao Tianheng will fall into a state of suspended animation. What if he is discovered?"

Tiandao threw the altar away: "Let's ignore this, Shao Tianheng is sleeping, we have at least four hours, let me go out and play for a while first."
