The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

The next day was a beautiful day with clear sky and clear sky.Under Dai Quan's service, Xue Pan dressed, washed, and had breakfast before being led by the little eunuch to the High Heaven Pavilion where the princes study.

It is said that it is a place to teach the princes to study, but in fact only the two princes Tu Xuan and Tu Yang (Yang) actually come to study.Therefore, under the sound of children reading aloud, the huge Lingxiao Pavilion seems more empty and lonely.

Tu Zhen's heirs are weak. When he was in the prince's mansion, there were only two concubines who gave him two sons and a daughter respectively. It's a pity that the confidante was unlucky. Before these two women could enjoy the glory of being a mother and a child, they were sent to the mansion just after entering the mansion. The child queen assassinated.Three swaddling babies who don't know the world are left behind.However, in the eyes of Queen Tong, these children are also thorns in the eyes, thorns in the flesh, and they can't wait to deal with them quickly.If Tu Zhen hadn't ordered Xuedizi's hidden guards to take care of them carefully in the dark, these children would have died long ago.

But that's all Tu Zhen can do.After all, in the first few years when the princes and princesses were born, it was also the most tense time for Tu Zhen to seize the throne.He wants to show the enemy his weakness, he has to try his best to win the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, he has to carefully set his brothers off, and he has to calmly solicit the forces in the court... He has too much to do, so besides In addition to saving the lives of a few children, I can't spare too much energy to teach and take care of them.Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the Fourth Prince feared the power of his first wife Tong's family, and did not dare to protect his children, or he did not care about his children at all.So in those few years, the servants and servants who followed the red and the white in the mansion often tripped up the little princes and princesses in order to please the prince and concubine.

Therefore, although the few Tianhuang nobles were not in danger of their lives, they lived in embarrassment and embarrassment in the first few years in the Prince's Mansion.I'm afraid it's not as good as some of the sons and brothers of the nobles.This situation did not gradually improve until Tu Zhen succeeded to the Great Treasure.Especially after the Tong Empress was thrown into the cold palace, and the Holy Majesty had never been lucky enough to see the concubines in the harem, and gradually expressed his concern for the progress of the princes and princesses' homework, the attitudes of the whole palace towards the little princes also changed. Much respectful obedience.

After all, rare things are expensive.His Majesty's heirs are weak, and now there are only two princes. As His Majesty pays more attention, these two princes also study hard and practice martial arts, and the talents and excellence of the royal heirs are gradually revealed.Moreover, the Holy Majesty also ordered the decree to let the young Hou Ye who is loyal to the Hou family take up the post of Prince Shao Fu.

Although they didn't make it clear, everyone gradually realized that the Holy Majesty wanted to train the two princes on purpose.

A child favored by the emperor has an absolutely bright future.Therefore, after a little thought, everyone immediately changed their attitudes towards the little princes.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, Xue Pan went to the outside of Ling Xiao Pavilion, stood on the porch and looked in through the open door and window, and happened to see Lin Mozhi giving the two princes assignments with a serious face.The two little radish-headed princes followed Lin Mozhi's explanation little by little.They said in unison that they will definitely complete last night seriously and will not disappoint the husband.

After Lin Mozhi finished the arrangement, Xue Pan walked into the room with light steps, smiled at Lin Mozhi and said, "I didn't expect you to be a gentleman, and you still look good."

Lin Mozhi glanced at Xue Pan, who was still walking awkwardly, and said with a meaningful smile, "Are you willing to come out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

He was originally the commander of the sticky pole, deeply trusted by Tu Zhen, and also a friend of Xue Pan, so he was naturally aware of the ambiguous relationship between the two.At first, I was a little worried that my friend would be deeply troubled, but after watching the past few years with cold eyes, I found that it was the emperor who was deeply troubled.Only then did I slowly relax.

Xue Pan's face turned red when Lin Mozhi made fun of him, and he ignored him. Instead, he greeted the two little princes and said, "My humble minister, Xue Pan, has met the two princes."

The two princes got up immediately and returned the courtesy: "I have seen Shaofu Xue."

Because of the slow treatment and harshness in the early years, the two little princes did not have the arrogance and contempt of ordinary family members, but were obedient and lovable.Coupled with the inheritance of Tu Zhen's pretty face, the eyebrows and eyes that have not yet opened become more delicate and lovely, and Xue Pan immediately has a good impression.

He squatted down with a smile on his face, and asked, "What have the two princes learned?"

The eldest prince Tu Xuan said obediently: "I have read "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", and now I am reading "Great Learning".

As he said that, he looked at Xue Pan curiously and asked, "What will Shaofu Xue teach us?"

Xue Pan was silently speechless and shook his head. He also read "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic", he also heard about "The Analects" and "Mencius", as for "University" he also read in his previous life.But the year is not good either.Therefore, Xue Pan really can't teach much in terms of the history of Ziji classics.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lin Mozhi, who was also a time traveler, with some admiration.There is not much difference in age between the two, and the time they passed through is also about the same.However, one became the number one scholar in the three subjects with a reputation in the government and the public, and the other was also famous in the government and the public, but his notoriety spread throughout the government and the public.

Xue Pan shook his head regretfully, it seems that the idea of ​​pretending to be a teacher to teach students is better not to think about.It is estimated that with the little ink in his stomach, not only could he not teach the two princes, but he would have to be taught the other way around.It's just that cats have their way, and dogs have their way.Although I don't know the reason why Tu Zhen asked him to be the Prince Shao Fu, but this does not prevent Xue Pan from teaching the two princes in his own way.

Xue Pan rolled his eyes, and said solemnly to the two princes: "There are countless Confucian scholars in the middle school, and they can all teach the princes to learn the classics and history collections, but I don't need me. The sage wants me to be the prince. The reason for Fu, as long as he wants me to bring the two princes to practice."

"Practice?" The two Douding princes were bewildered by Xue Pan, and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That's right." Xue Pan nodded seriously, and said, "From now on, I will be the practical teacher of the two princes."

Lin Mozhi on the side almost couldn't laugh out loud when he heard this.Hastily raised his arms to cover the slightly raised corners of his lips, and glanced at Xue Pan with a half-smile.

Xue Pan's face was a little hot when Lin Mozhi looked at him, and he said bravely: "Although the sages said that there is a golden house in the book, and there is beauty in the book. Reading makes people sensible and so on. But the sages also said However, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. The two princes grew up in the deep palace, and naturally there are countless virtuous scholars who taught you the principles of life. But in the end, talking about war on paper is shallow, and I will lead the two princes out of the palace , take you to see the outside world, take you to see the real life of the people. Take you to the fields to distinguish various crops, we don’t have to sow and harvest in person, but we should know that a grain comes from How long does it take to steam from the ground to the bowl, and how many people work hard."

"I will take the two princes to the market and let the two princes know the value of every item you eat and wear, and where the things you use come from. How many processes are there from Sangchan weaving silk to weaving mother spinning cloth to embroiderer cutting clothes, let you know that even a small piece of clothing involves countless manpower and material resources."

"I will take the two princes to the shop to inquire, and let the two princes know what the series of processes are from raw materials, to selection, to finished products, to transportation, to sales."

"I will take the two of you to the army to watch the military drills of the soldiers, and let the two princes know that, where you can't see, countless people shed sweat and tears every day for the prosperity and prosperity of Dayong. Let you Knowing that your identities are not for pleasure, but for responsibility. Use your shoulders to bear the responsibilities and hopes of the Great Yong Dynasty—”

Speaking of this, the two princes said timidly: "Father is wise and wise, and can handle all affairs in the court very well. We—"

"What the two princes said is wrong." Xue Pan said solemnly: "It is said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. The prosperity of Dayong cannot be determined by His Majesty alone. It requires the joint efforts of countless subjects and people. And what His Majesty did was to stand on a high ground and guide his subjects to go forward bravely and take the lead. To be the most critical leader. His Majesty is amazingly talented and resourceful, but he is still a human being, and he also gets tired sometimes. "

"You see him sitting on the dragon chair high above and pointing out the country, but you don't see him reviewing memorials all day and all night, and there is almost no time for rest and enjoyment. You can see his deep thinking and scolding Fang Qiu, but you don't see him In order to make a certain decision, he would spend days and nights studying information and looking up classics. Just because he is an emperor, he bears the great Yongjiang Mountain on his body, and no mistakes are allowed."

"People often envy those in high positions who hold power and are proud of themselves, but they ignore the responsibilities they bear and the efforts behind them. Just like Your Majesty. Therefore, you need to grow up as soon as possible and help Your Majesty share his worries. You You must study hard, make progress every day, and strive to become a person who is useful to the Yong Dynasty and the people. Today, you are proud of your majesty. In the future, you must work hard to make your majesty proud of you and the court proud of you. Let Dayong be proud of you."

"The innate identities of the two princes prove your nobility. However, this nobility does not mean that you have fun and squander unscrupulously. It is because of your identities that you are destined to bear more responsibilities than ordinary people. Therefore, you need to do more."

"I believe that the two princes are talented, intelligent, diligent and studious, and when they grow up, they will definitely become heroes who are loved and admired by thousands of people like His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty will be proud of you."

Before the words fell, the two princes looked at him excitedly, their fair faces were flushed, they nodded their heads fiercely, and said, "Don't worry, young master, we must study hard and strive to grow up quickly, for our father's sake." The emperor is worried."

Xue Pan nodded with a smile on his face, and couldn't help reaching out to pat the two little radish heads with bright eyes.Turning around triumphantly, he immediately saw Lin Mozhi behind him, looking at him with a complicated expression.Xue Pan swallowed a little guilty. When he attended the opening ceremony in his previous life, the principal always said so.These words are all to persuade people to be positive, so there should be nothing wrong, right?

Xue Pan, who was blinking and slandering secretly, glanced at Lin Mozhi who was silent one after another, naturally he didn't notice that although his expression was excited, the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated, the eldest prince Tu Xuan...

He didn't even notice Tu Zhen standing in the corner outside the hall with his hands behind his back.

Because he is worried that his lover is still young and has an arrogant personality and cannot get along well with his sons.The young emperor couldn't wait to rush to the Ling Xiao Pavilion after the morning court, but he didn't expect to hear this ingenious words of encouragement.

He stopped, stood outside the hall for half a day, and tiptoed away.Facing the warm and bright afternoon sun, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.

He glanced triumphantly at Dai Quan, who was beside him with lowered brows, and said with a soft smile, "So, in Pan'er's mind, I am such a person!"

Admired by thousands of people, loved by thousands of people, amazingly talented and resourceful?

But what moved him the most was Xue Pan's casual sentence——

Your Majesty is also a human being, and your Majesty will also be tired.

Tu Zhen's cold and unwavering eyes gradually turned into two springs of spring water. At this moment, what he wanted to do the most was to hug Xue Pan, who was talking eloquently in the palace, into his arms.Then he teased wantonly, using his actions to express his eager love.

Pan'er, pan'er...

Tu Zhen unconsciously recited Xue Pan's name over and over again.I just feel that after living for so many years, there has never been such a word that makes him feel warm when he thinks of it, and feels happy when he says it.
