Xue Yao suddenly realized that the breakthrough point of this matter was not the emperor, the emperor's will would not change, the turning point did not lie with the eldest prince, but the reason for the elder prince's remonstrance.

The reason is the civil uprising.

Xue Yao wanted to ask the eldest prince to dissuade him before the incident happened.

But how to prove that the Shushu Road will lead to civil uprisings?

The Tao of Shu was not limited to the Daqi Dynasty. As early as the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a record in the "Han Sili Xiaowei Qianwei Yang Junsong" that officials asked for Taoism.

At that time, both the equipment and the economic level were far behind the present. The ancients dug tunnels by means of fire and water, but now there are at least simple gunpowder for mountain opening.

With such a precedent, it is almost impossible to convince the emperor and the eldest prince that the Tao of Sichuan cannot be done, or that it needs to be done slowly.

In the original book, the economic level of the Great Qi Dynasty was about the same as that of the Song Dynasty. In this era, it was firmly at the top level in the world. It is reasonable to say that it is not too much to build an official road. It is estimated that the emperor himself did not expect the difficulty of construction.

He used the favorite concubine as a cover, mainly to cover up his thoughts of not being able to tolerate his brother's overflight, not to make the common people scold him as a woman after the construction failed.

The emperor certainly didn't expect what happened later, if he had expected it, he wouldn't have done it in the morning.

If the road to Shu is not established, the reputation will be ruined. Isn't this a chicken-and-egg fight?Although the emperor was selfish, he was not mentally retarded.

Xue Yao's idea was to let the emperor discover the impossibility of this matter in advance.

The successful cases of building the Shu Road recorded in history are all just connecting a mountain with a bridge. When it is built as an official road, the difficulty of the project is unprecedented.

Xue Yao planned to go to the Library Pavilion of the school to find a map of Bashu first, and then collect the historical records of road opening, so as to find out all the details of how generations of people in Bashu carried chisels on their shoulders and built ladders along the cliffs.

The ability to communicate with people in this place has been accumulated for a hundred years. If you want to build an official road that is as smooth as walking on the ground within five years, it is not enough to rely on the country's prosperity and strength. The technology cannot keep up.

The eldest prince loves the people like a son, so he might agree to dissuade the emperor.

Of course, the possibility of success is not great, and he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

In the original book, the imperial decree announced that the specific time for the Qushu Road was Liqiu, and Xue Yao only had more than half a month left to die.

The next day, he asked Concubine Xi to change the Seventh Prince to a temporary companion, and he devoted himself to spending time in the Library Pavilion, looking through historical materials.

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xue Yao felt dizzy reading in Zangshu Pavilion. The materials he found were only two or three pages long.

The ancient written language is all classical Chinese, but it really drove him to death as a science student, and countless brain cells were burnt to death just barely understanding it.

And the article is written very briefly.

There is not even a word of lyrical emotion in the records of the people's hard work of crossing mountains and opening roads, and they are all very calm and truthful records.

When Xue Yao was transcribing, he couldn't help but add a few sentimental sentences at the end of each paragraph, so as to touch the heart of the eldest prince, but the written vernacular was not in line with the style of the previous text, so he had to delete it and copy the original text obediently .

So silently and vigorously writing, Xue Yao didn't even notice that a chubby little figure walked into the Library Pavilion without making a sound.

The chubby Seventh Prince walked behind him with a gloomy little bun face, looking up at the back of his slender neck with murderous intent.

The seventh prince's light brown pupils reflected Silly Yaoyao's unfeeling back, and his cheeks became rounder and rounder with anger.

He did not feed His Highness or drink milk for four whole days.

There was no afternoon rest with the temple for four whole days.

For four whole days, he didn't ask His Highness to tell Sha Yaoyao a story.

For four whole days, I didn't hug my obedient Highness.

The accompanying reader next to His Highness has become the wooden man who was so obedient that he dared not look up at His Highness, and couldn't even understand His Highness's instructions.

And the ruthless and unintentional silly Yaoyao secretly hid in the library to read the script by himself.

Isn't the story His Highness told interesting enough?

Of course, the seventh prince's inner activities were not so clear, His Highness just felt unhappy.

Children with emotional receptivity have difficulty responding to a lack of care like normal children, who either don't care or become angry with anxiety.

The Seventh Prince, who had not had milk for four days, approached Xue Yao angrily at this moment. He was not the same baby as His Highness, who was usually pattering and pattering with short legs. The little guy was quiet and cautious at the moment, like a silent big cat.

While having plans of his own, His Highness becomes a very different baby.

If Xue Yao could turn his head and take a look "before he died", he might be able to see for the first time the prototype of Long Aotian who "kills one person in ten steps" in the future, but the little fat man was silent, and he didn't notice the quietness at all. In the Library Pavilion, there is one more person.

In a blink of an eye, the Seventh Prince was already standing behind Xue Yao. He only needed to jump up and make a move, and he could pinch Shayaoyao's neck like squeezing a milk carton, making Shayaoyao terrified and begging for mercy again and again, never daring to Abandon your obedient Highness!

The Seventh Prince stared coldly at Xue Yao's back with a pouty face, slowly raised his chubby hands, narrowed his shallow pupils slightly, and the air was filled with a dangerous aura——

"Snapped!"

The Seventh Prince lay on Xue Yao's back in a "big" shape, with a discouraged look on the stern little bun's face.

Forget it, give Sha Yaoyao another chance, this time I won't crush him.

Xue Yao was so frightened by the sudden hug behind him that he almost jumped into the sky, and turned his head with a scream, only to find the little fat cub staring at him with his face upturned and pouting.

"Do you want to hug me, son?" The Seventh Prince nodded fiercely to himself.

Xue Yao: "..."

"Why did you come here? Didn't you go to the garden with Fifth Brother?" Xue Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and bent over to hug the Seventh Prince.

I belatedly realized that I missed this little fat boy very much, but I was so busy these days that I forgot myself and didn't bother to go to school to see the little fat boy.

"I see you are here." The Seventh Prince was not happy.

Xue Yao pinched the chubby boy's face and coaxed him: "I'll go back to study with Your Highness in a few days. Your Highness will go to the garden with other companions first, okay? Let the fifth and sixth brothers take His Highness to play cuju and climb the rockery together .”

"Yaoyao." The Seventh Prince stared at him unhappily.

"Huh?" Xue Yao respectfully waited for orders.

"The garden is gone without you." The Seventh Prince pouted aggrievedly.

Xue Yao: "..."

To my death, my eyes were reddened by a chubby boy's words...

Ahhhhhh he obviously wanted to hug Long Aotian's thigh, but now he was trained by this bad cub to become a qualified old father!

What the hell is she crying at every turn!

But Xue Yao was still a little complacent in his heart. With a character defect like the Seventh Prince's, it was difficult to show dependence on anyone.

It's only been four days since I saw him, but this little guy went all the way to find Zangshu Pavilion.

Although I don't know whether it is to find him or Wang Zai, Xue Yao feels warm in his heart.

So he went on strike for a day, went to the garden with the chubby kid to play for an afternoon, and continued to read documents the next day.

Seeing that there was not much time left, Xue Yao came to Qingqiong Hall with not enough preparations, and told Concubine Xi about his plan.

Concubine Xi was very distressed after hearing this: "The eldest prince has never been to Qingqiong Palace, and I know he loves Lao Qi very much, but he doesn't deal with me because the queen doesn't like me. The person the queen doesn't like, the eldest prince Don't dare to communicate blatantly, you can see that he doesn't talk to the fourth child very much..."

Xue Yao replied: "I've already made up my mind, let the Seventh Prince help us lure the Eldest Prince to the gate of the palace. You pretend to be passing by and invite him in to relieve the summer heat. Come in, and things will be easy."

Concubine Xi looked bewildered, her son's tacit understanding with the people around him was zero, where could he attract the eldest prince?

Xue Yao saw her worries, and immediately expressed his thoughts: "I arranged for Your Highness to pass by the Shang Study Room on the way back to the palace, pretending to meet the First Prince by chance, as long as His Highness hugs the First Prince's neck and does not let go, the accompanying aunt will remind you When it's time to breastfeed, you have to go back to the palace, and the eldest prince will most likely drop by the Qingqiong Palace with His Highness in your arms."

Concubine Xi had never been in contact with the eldest prince, so she asked suspiciously: "Will he really be willing to bring Lao Qi back? Shang's study room is not close to here."

Xue Yao recalled the eldest prince's obsession with the little bun, and replied firmly: "It should be fine."

Under the lure of Xue Yao Wangzai's milk and the coercion of Concubine Xi's dessert before going to bed, the Seventh Prince was forced to take part in the action.

That day "coincidentally met" the eldest prince, the seventh prince opened his small arms, and was picked up by the elder brother, and immediately hugged the elder brother's neck and did not let go.

For milk and mung bean cake, His Royal Highness's two chubby arms wrapped around the elder brother's neck like steel bars!

Not only was the eldest prince not angry, but he was also blissfully blissful.

It was the first time that Lao Qi was so clingy to him.

The eldest prince carried the little bun back to the Qingqiong Palace on foot with great satisfaction!

Falling firmly into Xue Yao's trap, the eldest prince was heavily surrounded by Concubine Xi and a group of court ladies, and was forcibly invited into the palace for tea.

The eldest prince really didn't want to go in, it would be over if the queen mother found out.

But Concubine Xi, like her group of maids going crazy, actually blocked all his paths desperately!

The eldest prince was inconvenient to fight with a group of women, and was in a stalemate when he saw a little eunuch from the Queen's Palace pass by the alley from the corner of his eye!

The maids around were all a head shorter than the First Prince, and the First Prince's face could be seen at a glance from the outside.

Therefore, when the eunuch in the queen's courtyard passed by, the eldest prince was so frightened that he suddenly bent his knees and squatted halfway among the maids, hiding his head, for fear that the eunuch would go back and complain to the queen.

The mighty and unyielding eldest prince just squatted in the crowd, desperately compromised with Concubine Xi: "Your Majesty's kindness is not respectful, so I'll drink a cup of tea and leave."

Concubine Xi just "invited" the eldest prince into the flower hall, turned away the servants, and closed the doors and windows firmly.

The First Prince: "???"

What happened next was all planned by Xue Yao in advance.

Concubine Xi first took the Bashu map from the cabinet, spread it out on the table of the Eight Immortals, and then put the transcribed materials in front of the First Prince, and started the brainwashing work.

And Xue Yao hid in the inner hall, listening quietly.

Concubine Xi's performance is quite good, she laments that the people are in a difficult time with sincerity, and she bluntly said that she does not want to be reviled by the ages, and she is also very euphemistic. Well-founded.

The eldest prince listened to Concubine Xi in silence without any response. After listening, he slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "The tea is finished, I should take my leave too, thank you for your hospitality."

"Your Highness." Concubine Xi's face was filled with disappointment. Although she had expected that the eldest prince would not meddle in her own business, she did not expect that he would not even bother to express his opinion. Did she not want to interfere, or did she feel that she was alarmist?

"These historical materials are all true!" Concubine Xi grabbed the paper on the table, stepped forward and spread it in front of the eldest prince, "Everyone knows that you care about the common people, that's why I disregarded etiquette and asked you for help! The emperor said he would bring me back within five years." When visiting Bashu, look at these historical materials. It took hundreds of years to pass the two heavenly roads. How many innocent people died of exhaustion in just five years? Personal grievances do not care about the life and death of the people, so..."

"Forgive me, ma'am." The eldest prince looked at Concubine Xi with a cold face: "I don't think the speculation about the Shushu Road was just imagined by you alone. If the military adviser behind you thinks that I can use my hand to help you hide After a difficult time, you should at least show some sincerity and let him come and talk to me in person. With just a few words, you want me to touch my father's back, I don't understand, your military adviser overestimated my father The weight in the emperor's heart, or do you think I'm a fool?"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xi's face turned pale.

Xue Yao, who was hiding in the inner hall, blushed.

Why is this eldest prince so scheming at such a young age!

In the original book, he is honest, loyal and dedicated to serving the people!

Xue Yao may have read a fake original book.

It's over now, if the First Prince refuses to stand up, then there is no way this matter will turn around.

Concubine Xi's subdued sobs suddenly came from the outer hall.

Just hearing this Lin Daiyu-style choking skill in which those who hear it cry and those who see it pity, Xue Yao can't help but see the pitiful appearance of Concubine Xi's pear blossoms with rain in his mind.

"You're right..." Concubine Xi choked with sobs timidly: "I was instructed by an expert to know that this parade is tantamount to letting my mother and son jump into the fire pit. I am just a humble dancer. Poor old seven and young, I really couldn't bear to be despised by thousands of people because of my unworthy mother and concubine, so I thought of asking His Highness for help, and I have no intention of entrapping you. Naturally, you have no reason to splash this muddy water for our mother and son! On behalf of Lao Qi, I thank you for your usual care, and today I made you laugh."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Xi saluted the First Prince and sent him away respectfully.

The eldest prince didn't move, he was tall and tall, his brows were slightly frowned, and a pair of sharp red phoenix eyes were fixed on Concubine Xi.

The phrase "The seventh child will be despised by thousands of people" accidentally hit the eldest prince's weakness.

After a long while, he said in a low voice: "You have found the wrong person, Concubine Xi. The historical materials you gave can only be used as references and conjectures. Even I can't convince you. How can you convince Father? Since an expert has instructed you, He should also tell your father the true intention of the Emperor Shu Road, do you think that this little historical data can hinder the holy will? Even if I risk my life to speak for your mother and son, it is meaningless."

Concubine Xi looked up at the eldest prince: "Then who should I find?"

The eldest prince was almost amused by this woman, so trusting others, he must have no intention of harming him.

He lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then said: "Look for the people of Qin Tianjian, let them watch the sky at night, warn of disasters, spread some rumors among the people, spread them into the court, and let Qin Tianjian's prophecy come true. There is a turning point. The empress must be clear about one thing, what can stop the father is not any historical speculation, but the heavens."

Xue Yao's eyes lit up while hiding in the inner hall!

Wonderful!He has forgotten the weakness of the superstition of the ancient kings!

The eldest prince is simply a god of learning from Daqi, and he cuts to the point as soon as he turns his head. How could such an awesome person fail in reforms!

The original must have been made up!
