After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

In the past few days, the incident of Yan Ming has caused a lot of uproar. The teenagers studying in Taixue are panic-stricken. They dare not set foot in the evil lotus pond on weekdays. They just want to wait for the truth to come out and see who is so bold. Dare to kill in the palace.

But gradually I heard that the Ministry of Punishment teamed up with the palace guards to investigate for a long time and found many intermittent clues, but they still couldn't find out who was behind the matter.

The main reason is that the Taixue happened to be taking exams that day. In order to reduce the noise, the entire Taixue cleared the place, only a few guards and masters... So this time there were no witnesses to the murder except for the guard who said that he happened to see the young eunuch's clothes. .

But there are too many young eunuchs in the palace, and there is no real evidence, so they can't be interrogated one by one, right?

Based on the time of committing the crime, the Ministry of Criminal Justice deduces that this person is most likely a member of the Taixue. After all, only the people of the Taixue know the time to clear the scene, but they have passed on to everyone in the Taixue except the prince. No one was found to be a definite suspect.

This happened in Taixue, which was under the imperial confinement, and it was the son of Xungui who died, no one dared to neglect.

But after checking and checking, there is no clue, and it can only gradually subside.

Yan Pingrong didn't care about the investigation results of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He yelled more than once at home, believing that the matter must have been done by the King of Chu. Otherwise, why would the King of Chu be more alienated from the Yan family after this incident?

Thinking of the tragic death of his son's innocence, Yan Pingrong gritted his teeth with hatred, wishing he could kill the King of Chu in order to avenge his beloved son.

The king of Chu had nightmares for several nights because of this incident. He only wanted to stay away from the Yan family, and he never thought of comforting him. Besides, he entered the Taixue and opened his eyes. He can be called a fierce general, but after all, he is brave without strategy. If he really wants to win the heir in the future, he still needs to plan in the long run and deploy more people who are good at using strategies.

Fortunately, after his intentional wooing, his master Liu Hui looked at him differently.

As soon as class was over today, the King of Chu came up to greet him warmly again. He was still young and could only express his kindness childishly: "Sir, are you tired from lectures today? I brought the grapes and lychees that the Imperial Dining Room just got from the Western Regions. It’s chilled, and it’s specially brought here for Mr. to try it out.”

Liu Hui responded with a smile to King Chu's gesture of favor.

Xie Qingci watched from the classroom, his eyes a little cold.

In the last life, after the father became seriously ill, the throne finally fell into the hands of the King of Chu. Liu Hui was appointed by him as the chief minister of the cabinet, with great power in his hands. However, within a few days, Xiao Di entered the palace. The Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which the King of Chu hadn't yet secured, was immediately taken into Xiao Di's pocket.

Xie Qingci just didn't expect that the King of Chu would start cultivating his power so early...

His eyes fell on Xie Huaiwei, who was flipping through the books happily, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Second brother, have you listened to today's art of war class?"

"The art of war? Did you hear it? It was practiced on the battlefield." Xie Huaiwei looked at the page in front of him with relish, without moving his eyes from the page: "The lessons he taught are also confusing, thank you Rong this kid, even if I don’t listen to the lectures, I can still compare to these people..."

Before Xie Qingci had time to answer, a classmate hurried over and said, "The results of the last competition are out! I heard from the master that someone answered very beautifully, whether it is marching speed, terrain analysis, or historical records. It is the leader in recent years! It is also said that the generals who have been in the field for many years may not have such accurate control..."

"Then...he must have been on the battlefield and won many victories, right?" A young man exclaimed, "In addition to his extraordinary talent, he can be treated differently by the master..."

Xie Huaiwei raised his strong eyebrows, his face was a little bit happy, and he started to speak: "Hey, listen, the boasting is so blatant, it's almost a matter of directly announcing the king's name..."

As soon as the words fell, someone came over and flattered him cheekily: "You are only able to write such an astonishing answer sheet, and you are only 17 years old, and you can sweep the enemy's army!"

Xie Huaiwei was extremely strict at this time, he gently raised the corners of his lips: "When the first imperial decree was made, my king hadn't passed his 17th birthday yet!"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness is a born god of war. He didn't have to come here, but he is open-minded and eager to learn. It's our honor to study with us in person!"

Everyone said something to each other, and the arc of Xie Huaiwei's lips became more and more upward.

"What book is your Highness reading?" Someone keenly noticed that Xie Huaiwei had a book in his hand, and couldn't help but want to get together to ask for the same money.

As soon as the pages of the book lit up, everyone couldn't find the correct angle to flatter.

That book turned out to be... "The Feeding and Nursing of Baby Elephants"?

Xie Huaiwei slanted his lips and said: "A few days ago, I got a new baby elephant from the elephant training center. It looked a little sleepy yesterday, and I was thinking about how to raise it——Does anyone have any ideas?"

This... Everyone looked at each other, looked at each other and shook their heads.

At this moment, Liu Hui walked into the classroom again with the test paper, took a look around and said, "The results of the first art of war test after entering school have come out, this time is a test of effectiveness, and it is also a supervision... You all did well in the test. , especially one person, who is full of elegance, superb in arithmetic, smart in formation, and familiar with historical materials..."

Liu Hui praised this person so much that Xie Huaiwei straightened his back a little.

"This person is Xiao Di." Liu Hui looked at Xiao Di with joy, and said slowly, "Xiao Di has been on the battlefield. If you have any doubts in the Art of War class, you can ask him for advice..."

???

Xie Huaiwei's straight back immediately collapsed, and all the young men were also stunned.

Xiao...Xiao Di?

Except for the first class, Xiao Di was very silent most of the time, but this time he surpassed Xie Huaiwei to get the first place?

This... everyone in the world belongs to Mu Qiang. Even though Xiao Di is still the son of a traitor, the way the teenagers looked at Xiao Di gradually changed.

At this moment, Xiao Di was sitting by the window, staring indifferently at the moment, under the light and shadow, his outline became sharper and more serious.

The space next to him was still empty.

When he first entered school, because of Xiao Di's status, and the suppression of him by King Chu and Yan Ming, no one in the Taixue wanted to sit with him.

But now...but quietly changed.

Many people thought that Xiao Di was alone at the moment, if he sat with him in his own status, it would be like a gift!

When it was recess, many people were already planning to move to Xiao Di's side.

The most popular seat in Taixue was next to the prince, but Xie Qingci and Xie Huaiwei sat together, and the King of Chu sat with Yan Ming before, so it was not their turn.

It would be better to sit beside Xiao Di, close to Zhu Zhechi, and be able to get a few words of advice if nothing happens.

Xie Huaiwei's face was gloomy, with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

Xiao Di...

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Di went out for a while during the exam. Even so, he did better than himself who was scratching his head at the map?

Xie Huaiwei looked at his classmates happily thinking about moving to Xiao Di's side, feeling a heavy sense of disappointment in his heart, clenched his fists, and secretly vowed to study wholeheartedly!

It's just that he never expected that someone around him was thinking of abandoning him!

"Qingci?!" Xie Huaiwei looked at Xie Qingci who was receiving the inkstone brush, his eyes widened: "You..."

"Oh." Xie Qingci lightly gave Xie Huaiwei a fatal blow, as it should be: "I'm going to sit with Xiao Di."

"You..." Xie Huaiwei's heart fell to the bottom, and he raised his eyebrows: "Qingci, this is not your style, what? The seat was vacant for a long time and I didn't think about sitting with him. I saw Xiao Di's paper to answer If you are beautiful, you are ready to take advantage of others?"

"I used to supervise the second brother." Xie Qingci said expressionlessly: "Now it seems that I can't help you, the second brother. You can ask for blessings."

The corner of Xie Huaiwei's mouth twitched.

Co-authoring Xie Qingci was about to give up his brother.

"You... when will you come back?"

Xie Qingci smiled until his phoenix eyes narrowed, patted him on the shoulder, and said without hesitation: "Let's talk about it after the second brother has passed the exam."

Xie Huaiwei had never been betrayed like this, his eyes were red looking at his younger brother's relentless back.

Isn't it just reading? !

He is not afraid of death, in the future, as long as he does not die, he will read to death!

If he didn't believe it, he couldn't compare to Xiao Di!

Xie Huaiwei fiercely stuffed the breeding book into a corner, and placed maps and historical materials on the table.

After the next exam, when the grades come out, the younger brother and classmates still compete to praise him.

Seeing that even Xie Huaiwei's back was full of hard work, Xie Qingci slightly raised the corners of his lips.

If you want your second brother to study hard, it's useless to grind your mouth, you still have to find some stimulation for him.

Xie Qingci was immersed in a very satisfactory plan, but he didn't notice that Xiao Di's tall and tall figure had shrouded in front of his position.

When he came back to his senses, he was already stared at by those sharp black eyes.

Xie Qingci: "..."

Finish.

He only wanted to use this method to motivate his second brother to study, but he never thought that he would really go to class with Xiao Di elbow to elbow.

In an instant, Xie Qingci's left side was numb.

Now... is there still time to escape?

After Xiao Di's brief surprise, the corners of his lips slowly rose, and he pressed his palms on his slender shoulders, steadying Xie Qingci, who was fidgeting, and said in a deep voice that only the two of them could hear: "Since your Highness is sitting here, A Di It must be taken care of.”

After all, he grinded the ink slowly, and slowly put the ink-soaked brush in his palm: "Huh? Hold it steady."

With Xiao Di's slightly callused tiger's mouth firmly gripping his right hand, Xie Qingci immediately felt that he could not escape as if he was being held down by a wild beast.

"Your Highness," Xiao Di's deep voice reminded me of the dream that night: "Is A Di serving you so considerately?"

In the eyes of others, Xiao Di must be gentle and well-behaved.

It's just that Xie Qingci always vaguely felt that there was an unfathomable danger hidden behind Xiao Di's voice.

Maybe... just my own illusion?

Xie Qingci nodded hastily: "Well...it's time for class."

Xiao Di chuckled, and finally let go of Xie Qingci's writing hand.

As the sun slanted down, Xiao Di couldn't help turning his head to look at the young man beside him.

The straight and handsome bridge of the nose gleamed under the light, and the small and crystal-clear earlobes were thin and translucent, making people just want to stare intently. He had no intention of reading at all...

"Xiao Di." The master on the podium couldn't stand it any longer, and urged aloud: "Could it be that after winning the exam once, you started to be impetuous in class?"

Xie Huaiwei laughed unabashedly and coldly.

Xiao Di's throat moved slightly.

At that moment, he deeply suspected that letting Xie Qingci sit next to him was Xie Huaiwei's beauty trick!

But even if you know it, so what.

Seemingly an unremarkable strategy, as long as he chooses the right person, he can't even resist half a point.
