Accompany the prince to study

While passively waiting for the people behind the scenes to take action, Emperor Wu was also actively checking out all the people who had different expressions on that day and those who had borrowed the lonely copy before.

This is a very large task, which requires a very meticulous carpet search, and it is no different from a test for the impatient prince and Emperor Wu.But they stuck with it and didn't tell anyone.Except for the father and son who had discussed this matter in advance, no one knew about it.Whether it is Xuan Tiewei who works for Emperor Wu, or Gu Qiao who is closest to the prince.

Not telling those close to you is sometimes not a kind of defense, but more like protection.The crown prince was protecting Gu Qiao from Emperor Wu's suspicion.

Emperor Wu seems to be very nervous, and he likes to talk about "do not use suspicious people, and use people without suspicion", and he did this most of the time.But this is not absolute.The prince almost had a rift with Emperor Wu because of years of slander before. This is a possibility, and another possibility is that when Emperor Wu felt that someone threatened his heir, and the murderer was still not found, then everyone In the eyes of Emperor Wu, they are all suspicious.

Only he himself knows how much psychological shadow the constant death of children left on Emperor Wu.He even deceived himself that he didn't put the child who died young in the sequence, so as not to feel sad when he saw the corresponding number.

He gave each of them a unique name, and then buried them in the eternal deep soil.

Once fishing with 犼 is unsuccessful this time, Emperor Wu will definitely experience a long period of depression, during which he will constantly reflect on what went wrong in the planning process.

Only when Emperor Wu can't find the problem, can this matter pass.

But if the crown prince told Gu Qiao about the matter, then there is no guarantee that Emperor Wu would know about it. If Emperor Wu knew, then in Emperor Wu's reflection after the plan failed, Gu Qiao would become the only problem that Emperor Wu could see.

The prince didn't want Gu Qiao to feel such a target.

The crown prince even took strict precautions and did not want Gu Qiao to know about the problem of Ji, so Gu Qiao really never knew, and he devoted himself to the intense review after the hunt was over.

They are about to take a test.

Because of the outstanding performance of the prince's companions in the hunt, each of them received a special treatment that could make a small request while being rewarded by Emperor Wu.

Everyone wants different things, but they all satisfy themselves without being too demanding.

With the prince's eyes about to kill someone, Gu Qiao asked for a painting in which he and the prince played role-playing roles. Emperor Wu was as happy as if he had found a friend.Emperor Wu was not only delighted with Gu Qiao's good vision, but also offered to give away ten for one, and agreed to send many role-playing portraits of the prince when he was a child to the Duke of Xianguo's mansion after returning to Beijing.

It was only later that Gu Qiao found out that under the instruction of Emperor Wu, one of those paintings had his parents in the background.There is still a sequence in the portrait. It is obvious who requested to draw Xian Gonguo and his wife, and Gu Qiao finally understands why his father would be embarrassed by such Emperor Wu.No one will be a completely good person, and no one will be a completely bad person. No matter what others say, in the eyes of the generals who followed Emperor Wu to rule the Central Plains, Emperor Wu is the best one.

And Zhou Shubian took a long vacation with his emperor's uncle.

Emperor Wu also seemed to have expected it, not only allowed Zhou Shubian to have a holiday after returning to Beijing until the prince came out of the cabinet, but also allowed other companions, and the prince was the same.

The remaining princes and princesses also received three to five days of vacation before and after the crown prince came out of the cabinet as consolation prizes.

Everyone is happy.

Even Wen Zhuan, Gu Qiao and the others who love to learn are happy.Wen Zhuan was already discussing with Xie Lian, Gu Qiao and others about the autumn outing after returning home.In fact, Wen Zhuan was also very lively. The last time he finished his academic examination, he organized a banquet. He loves to play and knows how to play, but his normal life will not be affected by playing.This is the highest standard of noble sons in Beijing.

However, the students were happy, but the teachers were not so happy.It's not that these teachers are so dedicated to their jobs, but that they are afraid that the vacation time will be too long, and the students will become ambitious and forget what they have learned.

During the days when they came to the palace to escape the summer heat, they had already learned a lot more lazily than they had in Beijing.

In order to let every prince read with him, especially Zhou Shubian, so as not to get carried away, Master Su and Master Bai came up with a terrible idea together—take the test before the holiday, and take the test again after returning from the holiday.If the scores of the two exams differ too much, then... huh.

Uncle Zhou came up with a clever idea for this little clever guy: "I purposely got a lower score in the test the first time, isn't that enough?"

The difference between the two is definitely not too big.

"Then you're being real every time you do it on purpose." Wen Zhuan joked.

Uncle Zhou glared at Wen Zhuan angrily.

Wen Zhuan came forward to welcome the "fierce", and kindly reminded: "I advise you to better not do this."

Zhou Shubian didn't listen to him, and then... Master Su came to sue his parents because Zhou Shubian did particularly poorly in the exam.The Zhou family is the emperor's close ministers, and every time they hunt for summer vacations, they will definitely be ranked first.Even Zhou Laogong, who is sometimes sober and sometimes not sober, is among them. He will be very happy when he comes to escape the summer, because his impression always stays when he is hunting in the summer, and he can often see his good-looking daughter. .

When Master Su went to sue, he didn't avoid anyone in the Zhou family. In other words, before Zhou Shubian came home, the whole family knew that he failed the exam this time, which was worse than ever before.

It is conceivable that waiting for Uncle Zhou must be "beaten" from the whole family.

This is not enough, if Zhou Shubian continues to let himself go during the holiday, then when he comes back from the holiday to take the exam, the result will definitely not be too ideal.Then Zhou's family's thinking will become "You don't learn your lesson? Don't you repent?" Zhou Shubian will die a miserable, miserable death.

After analyzing the future for Uncle Zhou, Gu Qiao was full of sympathy for Zhou: "Why don't you study hard during the holidays?"

"...Then what is the meaning of my existence this holiday?!" Uncle Zhou raised his head to the sky and roared, his grief and indignation abnormal.

Emperor Wu heard it from the driving seat in front of him, and he praised the prince: "Although the boy Shubian is not good enough in learning, he also has other advantages. Auntie."

Now they are on their way back to Beijing.

The one being fished was really calm, just as he knew that he would not love to fight if he didn't have a sure hit. It was clear that the prince and Emperor Wu had exposed such a big flaw to each other, and until now, the other party has not made trouble.

Emperor Wu's summer vacation this year officially ended.

He wanted to take everyone back to Beijing to prepare for the prince's departure from the court.But on the way back, they had to detour to Mount Liutai to pray for the Queen Mother.

Emperor Wu was really not superstitious before, but since his mother fell into a coma inexplicably and everyone was helpless about it, he had to believe in some unnatural forces.

The first-line Taoist once swore to Emperor Wu that the queen mother would wake up after borrowing his life.

Unfortunately, no.

Emperor Wu was not disappointed with metaphysics, but became more radical.Recently, he didn't know where he heard a saying that he would enter the temple when he saw it, worship the Buddha when he saw it, and impress the gods and Buddhas all over the sky with his piety.

Of course, as far as some close officials knew about Emperor Wu, praying for the Empress Dowager was one of the reasons, but there was also the possibility that Emperor Wu still wanted to wander around.

Going back to Yongji from Chengren Palace, they couldn't go to Mount Liutai on the way. Even in order to go to Mount Liutai, they had to make a big detour on the road, which was a lot of time delay.Some ministers went back to Yongji directly. There were too many things for them to do, and the prince's leaving the cabinet was the top priority.

Emperor Wu mainly took his family to Mount Liutai together.

As a well-known Buddhist holy place, Mount Liutai has received visits from emperors of many dynasties.The six peaks stand tall, higher than the clouds, and look magnificent, which is a miracle of nature.

When the prince came out of Emperor Wu's driving car, he happened to meet the third prince who was riding on a horse.

"Run around?" The imperial team seemed to be endlessly long, and now they were not on the road of marching and fighting, walking very comfortably.The restless princes and princesses often left the team and galloped back and forth.

Facing the third prince's provocative invitation, the prince naturally refused to admit defeat, and the two quickly disappeared from the team.

Seeing that the prince was finally no longer alone, Emperor Wu felt very happy in his heart.

It wasn't until the surrounding empty no-man's land that the third prince finally said his main purpose of coming to talk: "That j, did you do it on purpose?"

"Have you read the only copy?" The prince looked at the third prince incredulously, he did not expect the third prince to love reading so much.

The third prince curled his lips: "Jing He saw it by accident when he was a child."

Jinghe is the king of Changle.

"He asked me to remind you, but I think you are fishing on purpose." It can be seen from the tactics of the prince in the hunt, this is a card that seems to be unreasonable, but every move is very meaningful. thoughtful person.Although the third prince may not know what the prince is doing, he can be sure that this matter will not be simple.

"But I don't care if you have any deep meaning or not, the reminder from our side has been sent. We are even."

Forcibly even.

The third prince really didn't want to owe the prince favors, not at all, he just wanted to hate the prince purely, hated the prince who always appeared in the queen mother's mouth, but couldn't often visit the queen mother.

"We can't argue." The prince didn't want to stop there.

The third prince frowned: "How?"

"You have two lives over there." The prince also knows what is good and what is wrong. It is the sincerity of the third prince to remind him, but it is precisely because of the character of the third prince that the prince does not want to let go of this useful person. Brother, "Your life is mine, so who will take it from King Changle?"

"What do you want?" The third prince is not a nonsense person, he asked this, it means that he thinks what the prince said makes sense, and the life of King Changle is priceless to him.

"If there is an accident, I want you to protect Gu Qiao immediately."

The third prince pondered for a while: "Yes."

The two brothers clapped their hands three times in the boundless wilderness and made a covenant.

It wasn't until they were about to go back that the prince finally decided to remind him again. He didn't think he meant it kindly, but just said it casually: "Everyone who borrows a book will have a record."

King Changle is the grandson of a king with a different surname, and he has borrowed an isolated copy of the true record about Yu. It is really easy to guess what Emperor Wu's attitude will be.

The third prince tightened his grip on the reins: "Forget that I owe you one more time."
