I wish my son was stupid and reckless

Meng Wei is on night duty in Zhongshu today, as a Zhi Zhi Gao, he has to be on duty for at least ten days in a month.

When the door was pushed, he raised his head vigilantly, saw it was a rabbit, first laughed, then reacted and took a deep breath.

There is only one rabbit in this palace who can visit Zhongshu Province at night, and the owner of the rabbit is the emperor's favorite son, King Li Lan of Chu.

Sure enough, Li Lan's voice was heard coming in, as always, briskly: "Le Ran, you stay here and keep a watchful eye, no one is allowed in, otherwise I will tell my father that you instigated me to go out at night, See if your father will kill you."

Startled, Meng Wei stood up.

Li Lan stepped into the door, first picked up the rabbit and handed it to Le Ran, then looked around and randomly picked up a chair and sat down.He crossed his arms, with a pair of long legs raised high on the small table, and looked at Meng Wei very seriously.

Meng Wei already knew that His Highness the Sixth Highness was stupid and ignorant of etiquette since he was a child. Now that he looks like this, not to mention the prince, ordinary country gentry and even country scholars are far better than him.

Li Lan tilted his head, and the golden rope hanging from the hair crown was tilted to the side as he moved. The tall and handsome young man had already reached the crown, and his eyes were still childish and innocent.

He said: "Little Mengsheren, you are the one who wrote the imperial edict for the emperor. This king wants you to write an edict now."

Meng Wei saluted and said, "I don't know if Your Highness followed His Majesty's oral instructions?"

Li Lan shook his head and said, "Father is asleep, and this king slipped out quietly. You write an imperial edict ordering Li Lun to die, and this king takes it back and stamps the jade seal on it, and asks Le Ran to read it, and Li Lun is dead." .Father will never be sad for him again."

Meng Wei was terrified when he heard that, and looked at the foolish prince in disbelief: "Does your Highness know what kind of crime it is to pretend to deceive the emperor? Your Highness should go back to rest, and don't tease the humble minister anymore."

What the supposedly stupid King Chu said was not stupid at all. He adjusted his temper and said, "Little Meng Sheren, think about it, after Li Lun's death, this king will be the father's father." The only remaining son of the emperor. This king is the only prince."

Meng Wei's expression changed a few times, and he lowered his head and said cautiously: "Your Highness, you shouldn't have said that."

Li Lan thought of something as he spoke, burst out laughing, put his legs down, and leaned slightly to look at him.

"I know you don't want to, but you have to listen to what this king has to say. This king doesn't send you for nothing—how old is little Meng Sheren? If I remember correctly, you and my third brother have a birthday in one year... ...Twenty-one is it? You are now a member of Zhongshushe, and you know Zhigao. When others see you, you must praise you for being young and promising." The young King of Chu's tone became serious, and his expression became a little playful "Then do you know what your master Xie Zinian was doing when he was twenty-one?"

Meng Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked up at him.

Li Lan found a piece of flax maltose out of nowhere, and stuffed it into his mouth: "When Xie Zinian was 21 years old, my father ascended the throne. He used the first merit of Long Dingce to promulgate hemp to worship the prime minister. At such a young age, he should belong to the state." towards the first."

Meng Wei subconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes with his fingers. He took a deep breath and said, "The master's talent and character are the best in the world."

Li Lan chewed the candy, squinted his eyes and smacked it for a while, glanced at his mouth and continued: "I don't know if it's the first king, anyway, my father likes him very much. Those words just now were all praised by my father." Dun said again: "This king doesn't like him."

Meng Wei had been intimidated by his righteous words just now, but now he looked like an ignorant rascal again, and he couldn't laugh or cry.He shook his head and asked with a smile: "Where did the Master offend His Highness?"

Li Lan fiddled with his fingers unhappily: "He... Humph, I don't like him anyway. But I know you like him." He suddenly raised his head to look at Meng Wei, remembering an old incident: "You know What did he do to become the prime minister?"

Meng Wei's expression flickered, his eyes were full of searching.

Li Lan leaned back contentedly: "He is your teacher, you can ask him yourself."

"I don't know what Xie Zinian did before. But I heard him talk to his father that day. Fan Si is a good boy, but he is almost a little bit of a grinder. After two years, he will let him take a few foreign jobs. After ten years, he will spend 20 years." If you are 20 years old, you will be worthy of a big job." Li Lan broke his fingers and counted them one by one for him: "Meng Fansi, think about how old you will be in 41 years, 41 years old? Xie Zinian himself is not [-] years old this year." Right? He's only two years older than my father."

Meng Wei pursed his lips tightly, even the line of his jaw collapsed, and asked in a low voice: "Master... Is this really what you told Your Majesty?"

Li Lan glanced at him and smiled brightly: "What did this king lie to you for?"

He looks really good.His Majesty the Emperor was born to be very good-looking. The birth mother of the King of Chu, Concubine Liu Xian, is said to be the most beautiful woman in the Six Palaces. It is only reasonable for His Highness to have an outstanding appearance. This smile can almost fill the room with brilliance.

The sourness and embarrassment in people's hearts are slightly relieved.

Li Lan looked up at Meng Wei: "You help me this time, when I become the crown prince, I will let you be an Imperial scholar; when I ascend the throne, you will be the prime minister. If you don't help me, guess if the emperor will listen to you?" Thank you, have you been left outside? If Li Lun becomes the crown prince, will he reuse you? Meng Wei, think carefully."

It's not just about whether it will be released for 20 years.

Meng Wei slowly relaxed his teeth.Looking at the clean eyebrows and the innocence in the eyes of the young Chu king in front of him, he thought of Jia Chong and Yang Jun* for no reason.

The master will never let the king of Chu succeed him, but if the king of Chu really becomes the prince, then... the holy quality is like this, not to mention Jia Chong Yang Jun, I am afraid that even Huo Guang can do it.

What kind of power and wealth is this?

If someone is not tempted, someone will naturally be tempted.Now that Li Lan has come to discuss with him, it is actually a god-sent opportunity... The king of Chu has not opened a mansion, and there are no former ministers in his residence. If he is determined to make such a gamble...

Meng Wei closed his eyes, his heart went up and down between the sky and the earth, turning several times.Li Lan didn't rush him, but took out another candy and bit it.

After a long while, Meng Wei said, "If I run for Your Highness, I will definitely hate my teacher. I don't know how Your Highness will deal with it then?"

He spoke in a difficult way, as if he was enduring all kinds of feelings, but his eyes were burning with fire.

Li Lan laughed happily: "Are you afraid that he will settle accounts with you? Prime Minister Xie is very fierce. This king knows that and will deal with him. Speaking of which, Xiao Mengsheren..."

Meng Wei raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that his eyes were black and white, as agile as a deer, and his innocence was extremely pure.At this moment, there was an even more pleasing slyness in those eyes, which made Meng Wei think of the cunning boy in the Book of Songs.

Li Lan asked him with a playful smile: "Why don't I send Prime Minister Xie to you after the matter is over? You can handle him as a whole. It won't save you from feeling sorry for me killing him, as long as you don't play him badly." , this king still has a place to use him."

The young Zhongshusheren suddenly felt his heart beating like a drum, and it took him a long time to utter a few words: "Your Highness, Your Highness is really joking..."

Li Lan was sipping sugar with relish, and when he heard the sound, he glanced at him and asked in surprise, "Don't you want it?"

Meng Wei choked again.

Li Lan turned his head slightly to look at him, and asked very seriously: "Really? Don't you like him? Don't you want to do something like that with him?"

The Sixth Highness suddenly regained his childishness, holding his chin and blinking his eyes curiously: "Why? If you like him, you should... It seems that you don't like him very much either. Yes, then if you don't want it, then you don't want it."

Meng Wei only felt that his voice was stuck in his throat.Li Lan is different from ordinary people, he doesn't look transparent and sophisticated, maybe he doesn't know what humility is, and maybe he doesn't know what shyness is.

Those black and white eyes made him feel that he had nowhere to hide, and the hand that used to hold the pen almost trembled. Meng Wei was so confused that he heard his own voice calmly responding: "I didn't say no."

Li Lan burst out laughing.

He said: "Well, you can write the imperial edict. The king will take it back to cover the jade seal. If Lan'er stays away for a long time, the emperor will wake up."
