break the barrier

[Bongxi six years]

This year, Zhou was fourteen years old, and he writhed and fought in the barracks all day, tanning like a foreigner.

The military camp is near the mountain. Since autumn, he would bring Wei Xiao a handful of wild fruits every day when he came back.

It was the same today, he excitedly broke into the imperial study room, where Wei Xiao was discussing state affairs with Zheng Mao.He ignored the old thing, went straight forward, and sprinkled wild fruits on Wei Xiao's desk, which was covered with memorials, "Teacher eats wild fruits, which are a bit sour, but I think it's better than sweet ones!"

Wei Xiao suppressed the anger on his face, and smiled at Zhou Yu, "Look at the dead leaves and scum all over your body, have you gone to climb trees again?" As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Yu closer, and took off his body for him. leaves of grass.

Zheng Mao bowed to Zhou Prison, "Your Highness, the wild fruits on the mountain are not clean, so don't eat your majesty's body."

"Tsk." Zhou Juan frowned and looked at people that Wei Xiao hated, so he didn't like them either, "Why do you control people's shit and fart? It's good!"

Wei Xiao patted Zhou Prison on the back, "What nonsense are you talking about? I told you to go to the military camp to learn martial arts, and you will come back after learning some foul language."

Zhou Yu chuckled twice, wiped a wild fruit with his clean skirt and handed it to Wei Xiao's mouth, "I'm correcting it, teacher eat a fruit to calm down."

"Your Highness, as the crown prince, you should pay attention to etiquette and rules. Recently, the old minister heard that His Highness climbs trees, catches butterflies and digs out bird nests all day long. This... there are mostly rural people in the military camp—"

"Master Zheng!"

Zhou Prison raised his voice suddenly, intending to refute, but was startled by Wei Xiao who was eating wild fruit, and choked on a shiver.

He patted Wei Xiao patted, and he still didn't forget what he wanted to say, "As a courtier, you should always know how to respect and humble, and it's the teacher's job to raise me, it's not your turn, or do you mean that?" Usurper?"

"I dare not."

"To be a courtier, you must not only know how to be respectful, but also how to be grateful. It is true that most of the soldiers in the barracks came from the Baijiu Cave, but they have defended Da Chong's city for decades, and have shed blood with their lives. Why? In your mouth, it became a 'country country man'?"

Mr. Academy told him from the first day he taught him that the people in Shangcheng are born noble, the bastards in Baijiu Cave are born low, and he should be born to be king.

He was too young at the time, although he saw clearly that the people in Shangcheng were enjoying themselves as officials for generations, and the people in Baijiu Grottoes were serving as slaves for generations, but he couldn't understand it.

Furthermore, he didn't want to be king at all, so he was naturally very dissatisfied with these "reasons".

After arriving at the palace, Wei Xiao told him more than once that no matter which city people are, they are all citizens of Da Chong.What they want to do is to change the status quo, to connect the three cities and Baijiu Grottoes, not only to tear down the thick stone wall between the cities, but also to tear down the invisible wall in the hearts of the people of Dachong.

"The old minister has no such intentions." Master Zheng didn't want to argue with Zhou Prison anymore, and turned to Wei Xiao, "Your Majesty, training the new king is a state matter, and it is my top priority. I have learned a lot of vulgar language, and I still climb trees to catch butterflies every day, I think it is a little inappropriate to educate your highness in the military camp."

Zhou prison accepted it as soon as he saw it, and moved it aside to study ink for Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao wiped his dripping fingers, "What's your opinion, Ai Qing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have a grandson who was brought up by a man with both civil and military skills. He speaks well and has read poetry and books. At the age of nine, he can walk through Yang with a hundred steps. I think that Your Majesty should invite a knowledgeable warrior to take charge of your highness's martial arts. We can't let him go any longer. -"

"Both civil and military?" Wei Xiao snorted suddenly, and knocked on the edge of the table with a stack of memorials, "Master Zheng, is he saying that this king's writing is inferior to others, or is he saying that your grandson is more suitable for this king?" ?”

"I don't dare! The old minister is dedicated to the country and the people, and the sun and the moon can learn from his loyalty!" Zheng Mao knelt and kowtowed. In recent years, he has become more and more powerless. "

Wei Xiao took the wild fruit on the case and wiped it with his sleeve, put it to his mouth and took a bite, then burst out laughing, "Look at what Mr. Zheng said, he just climbed a tree, how can Jiangshan Sheji lose his kung fu in a while?" Gone?"

He turned around and patted Zhou Prison's arm, "Hurry up and send him two wild fruits, Master Zheng must be crazy, why are you talking nonsense?"

Zheng Mao stretched out his hand to take the two wild fruits, his eyes seemed to be disgusted, Zhou Prison always grasped his proportions very well, for things like climbing trees and picking fruits, he can always use boys and young age as prevarications, how much he To say one thing is to make a fuss over a molehill, but to say one less thing makes me feel uneasy, "Thank you Your Highness, I...retire first."

Zhou Prison opened the window, watched Zheng Mao walk away, and sat on the window with his arms propped up, "The old man has been displeased with me for a long time, and he was so happy to have a grandson, he even praised the teacher several times ? Thinking about kicking me all day long."

Wei Xiao gave him a white look, "I told you to be more honest, but you didn't listen, but after two years of pretending, your true colors were revealed. You can do whatever you want with me, you clearly know that he doesn't want to see you, and you still have to annoy him."

Zhou Prison stiffened his neck and was not convinced, "What can he do? I don't think he can live for a few years. How angry I am with him might make him die early!"

"Hey! You're talking nonsense again!" Wei Xiao threw a fruit at him, "I was led astray by you, and he just wanted to refute when he said it. It's not unreasonable to think about what he said. Go to the barracks I didn't tell you to learn foul language!"

Zhou Prison smiled embarrassedly, jumped down from the window, squeezed to sit next to Wei Xiao, hugged Wei Xiao's neck and rubbed his face, "I'm changing it, I'm changing it, the teacher believes me."

"How old are you, and you still act like a baby." Wei Xiao tilted her head in disgust, and Zhou Prison followed closely.

In the past few years, Zhou Yu has figured out his temper, and he seems to be doing whatever he wants. He was thinking whether he was too used to Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu kissed him on the cheek, and then sat down. He picked up a wild fruit, wiped it clean and stuffed it into his mouth to stop him from talking, reached out for a stack of memorials, and read them seriously.

Zhou Prison has followed Wei Xiao for so many years, and has learned to imitate Wei Xiao's handwriting. At first, Wei Xiao told him to write, but now he can handle some small things by himself.

Wei Xiao leaned on the back of the chair and watched Zhou Prison review the memorial for him, feeling very moved.In a daze, the little kid who broke in from the door and bumped into his waistband has grown into a tall and straight boy, and will surpass him in stature in a few years.

He stretched out his hand to straighten Zhou Ju's messy hair, and wiped the sweat from the back of his neck. Zhou Ju's clothes behind him were torn, and he didn't know whether it was cut by a sword or picked by a branch.
