Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Zhiping three years, Xiao Yu Jianyuan Taichu.When he proclaimed himself emperor, he did not establish a year name. After arriving in Guangzhou, after a year of development, he finally determined the direction and goals, and gained confidence, so he decided to promulgate the year name.

On the first day of March in the first year of Taichu, the three prefectures of Guangjiaoya under the jurisdiction of Xiao Yu organized the second selection examination.More than [-] people from the three states took part in the selection examination, among them more than [-] students from the north.

In the end, 270 seven people were recruited, and most of them were assigned to various counties, counties and townships as officials, starting from the grassroots.All officials will be evaluated once every three years, and then they will be promoted.

It was also in this March that Pei Linzhi personally led his troops to the north to attack Jin'an County and Liang'an County in Jiangzhou.Two months later, Pei Linzhi returned to the court and successfully captured Jin'an and Liang'an counties.

Xiao Yu's territory has expanded to under Xiao Yi's nose.

At this time, Xiao Yi was suffering from the smallpox epidemic. The navy that was supposed to be re-expanded failed to achieve its goal due to the epidemic, and the plan to attack Guangzhou in the south was also stranded.

When he received the letter from the front line, Xiao Yi almost vomited blood out of breath. He was furious in the court hall, but all the officials were silent, and no one offered constructive suggestions.

Xiao Yi sneered: "You all look like you have nothing to do with yourself, do you think that if I am down and Xiao Yu is replaced as the emperor, you can still sit firmly in this position and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth? I think you are dreaming! "

None of the officials spoke, but no one took Xiao Yi's words to heart.These aristocratic families don't know how many dynasties they have gone through. No matter who becomes the emperor, it will not affect their prosperity and wealth.

The so-called emperor is the spokesperson of their interests.Besides, they were already tired of Xiao Yi, they thought it would be easier to control a prince who had no foundation and background, but he turned out to be a stupefied young man who made them unhappy everywhere, so it would be okay to replace him with someone else.

Although Xiao Yu's approach is different from that of the previous emperors, he pioneered the selection of officials through examinations, giving the lowly poor families and ordinary people room to rise.

But the exam still depends on the results. After hundreds or even hundreds of years of accumulation, these aristocratic families are very confident that they will not lose to poor families and ordinary people in this respect.

And according to the information they inquired, Xiao Yu is a gentle person with a good understanding of the general situation, much more interesting than Xiao Yi, and easier to deal with.

Panyu Palace.

"Hold the pen holder in this way, use your wrist to force, and write slowly. Yes, it's very good." Xiao Yu is teaching four-year-old A Ping to practice calligraphy.

A Ping finished writing a word Ping, turned his head to look at Xiao Yu, and said very proudly: "Mr., this is my word Ping."

Xiao Yu reached out and tapped on the tip of his nose: "Yes, it's your Ping character. It's very well written, let's continue."

At this time, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and someone ran in and shouted: "Huang——"

Xiao Yu raised his finger: "Shhh" motioned him to keep his voice down so as not to disturb A Ping.

A Ping was still distracted, looked up at Xiao Yao, blinked, not knowing how to call someone.

Xiao Yu said to Shuang Luo who was beside him: "Shuang Luo, tell A Ping to continue practicing calligraphy. Ah Yao, let's go outside and talk."

Xiao Yao followed his footsteps: "Brother Huang is really in a good mood."

Wearing wooden clogs, Xiao Yu walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He glanced back at him from time to time and saw that he was sweating profusely, and said, "Ji Hai, go and bring a pot of sour plum soup to the gazebo."

Xiao Yao felt that staying in the palace was boring, so he took the initiative to ask to go to Nanling to supervise the work and open up a shortcut from Guangzhou to Jiangzhou. He couldn't wait to pacify the north.

Xiao Yu reached out and patted the dust on Xiao Yao's shoulder: "You just got home, and you came here without taking a shower?"

Xiao Yao didn't care about his slovenliness: "I heard that you want to adopt a son, so I hurried back. Why did the emperor adopt a son? You are in your prime, can't you give birth to yourself?"

Xiao Yu didn't answer him right away, walked through the corridor, and arrived at the gazebo in the back garden. It was midsummer, the pond in the garden was full of lotus leaves, and the pure white lotus flowers were blooming in full bloom in the wind, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

He sat down on the stone bench and said to Xiao Yao, "Sit down."

Xiao Yao sat down and said, "Brother Huang, you haven't answered me yet."

Xiao Yu said: "I don't even have a wife, who will bear me a son?"

Xiao Yao said: "This is not a reason. As long as the emperor is willing, all the women in the world are willing to give birth to the emperor's son."

Xiao Yu just smiled and said nothing, Ji Hai had already brought sour plum soup and poured it for them.Xiao Yu pushed a cup of steaming sour plum soup in front of Xiao Yao: "Drink it, relieve the heat."

Looking at the curling mist, Xiao Yao felt a little suspicious, and touched the glass body with his finger: "Eh, it's ice? How can there be ice?"

In the land of Guangzhou, it rarely snows, let alone freezes, and it is impossible to store cakes until June.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "A friend of Wang Juan's alchemist came from the north and introduced me to him. I chatted with him, and he used saltpeter to make ice."

"A trick?" Xiao Yao asked.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "It's not a trick. It may be that some special substances react under certain conditions to form another substance. I can't explain it either. There are too many mysteries in the world, and we need to discover them slowly."

After chatting with him, the Taoist priest who was keen on alchemy and immortality has now started to study chemistry.

Maybe it won't be long before there will be matches, and maybe there will be gunpowder and cannons. Although he is a bit repulsed by making gunpowder in the cold weapon era, he thinks that gunpowder will eventually be invented by the West and used to torture and kill his compatriots. Invent it yourself first.

What's more, gunpowder is not only a killing tool, but also a production tool, which is needed for mountain mining.

Xiao Yao drank the sour plum soup in one gulp, poured himself another glass and drank it dry: "Brother Huang, you haven't said why you need gunpowder yet."

Xiao Yu said: "Drink it slowly. Although cold drinks are good, don't be greedy. It's not good for your stomach. I can't give birth myself, so I want to adopt it."

"What do you mean you won't give birth?" Xiao Yao looked Xiao Yu up and down, "Could it be that the emperor has some unspeakable problems?"

Xiao Yu smiled: "Don't make wild guesses. I brought up Ah Ping, so it's perfect for me to be my son."

Xiao Yao squinted at him: "Will he inherit your throne in the future?"

Xiao Yu said: "If he grows up to be good-natured and capable enough, it's not a bad idea."

Xiao Yao excitedly patted the stone table and stood up: "Brother Emperor, you are too childish. How could you make such a hasty decision to pass on the throne to an outsider with unknown origins? What's more, how could you Convince the officials and the people of the world?"

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "A Ping is not considered an outsider, he is the son of your third brother."

Xiao Yao was stunned, sat down slowly, and murmured, "No wonder. It's the son of Brother Sanhuang. When did he send his son here?"

"Before going to Xirong as a hostage."

Xiao Yao sat silently for a long time, and finally digested the matter: "Xiao Yin made a good plan, gave his son to the emperor brother, and finally got an emperor to do it for nothing."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but find it funny when he heard this. Xiao Yao's words were quite straightforward: "When he sent Aping here, I was still in exile in Yazhou. I didn't expect it to be like this at all. He just I just want to find a safer place for Aping to be fostered, if he gives Aping to you and Lao Wu to raise, will you adopt him?"

"If he was sent to me, Ah Ping would have been killed by Xirong dogs early on like my poor child." Xiao Yao covered his face with his hands, his voice bitter.

Xiao Yu patted him on the shoulder: "I mentioned your sadness again, sorry."

When Jingzhou was defeated, Xiao Yao's wife and children were all washed away in the chaos of the war. When they were found again, they were all corpses. Xiao Yao almost never mentioned this matter.

It took a long time for Xiao Yao to control his emotions: "Since the emperor has already made a decision, I can't say anything, I respect your decision."

"You are also his uncle, so let's bear witness together. Ah Ping is a good boy. I'm sorry that your third brother will never see him again." Xiao Yu sighed.

Xiao Yao's eyes widened: "What's wrong, Brother Sanhuang?"

Xiao Yu said: "The smallpox epidemic originated in Luoyang, and then spread to other places. The epidemic in Chang'an is also very serious. The third child did not survive this smallpox epidemic. It has been half a year since he passed away."

Xiao Yao was so angry that he thumped hard on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Sanhuang! It's Xi Rong again! I and Xi Rong are at odds, and Xiao Yi, if you don't take this revenge, you will not be a human being!"

Xiao Yu knew what Xiao Yao meant, if Xiao Yi hadn't sent Xiao Yin to Xirong as a hostage, he would definitely not have died in a foreign land.

"Everything will be reported, and all will be reported."

The adoption ceremony is scheduled for A Ping's birthday, which is not only A Ping's birthday, but also a day to give him another part of his life.

The night before A Ping's birthday, Xiao Yu called A Ping to sleep with them, and asked A Ping, "A Ping, do you like Mr. Wang?"

A Ping hugged Xiao Yu and nodded fiercely: "I like it, I like Lang Jun the most."

Xiao Yu said again: "I also like A Ping very much, and I want A Ping to be my son. From now on, you will call me Daddy, okay?"

A Ping was stunned. At his age, when he was most attached to his parents, it was also when his curiosity was strongest. Other children had parents, but he did not. So he also asked people around him, including Xiao Yu, all the answers he got were without exception: Your mother is no longer there, and your father is far, far away.

So A Ping was envious of other people's parents, while imagining what his own parents were like.But he didn't feel so sad, after all, he had no impression of his parents, and he had a better husband than his parents.

Now Lang Jun said that he wanted to be his own father, Ah Ping quickly climbed onto Xiao Yu's body and sat up astride, then lay in his arms, and put his ear on Xiao Yu's chest: "Daddy, daddy!"

"Hey!" Xiao Yu hugged him tightly and kissed the top of his hair. He thought he would accept this fact calmly, but he didn't expect that he would be so moved when he heard A Ping call him daddy. Excited, he will also have a son in the future.
