Wei Baiyun also spoke: "It's okay for the crown prince to be incompetent, if he ascends the throne, it will be enough to keep it." And the biggest drawback of Yu Court is not that the crown prince is incompetent, but that the nine sons have power. The second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the ninth prince and now the ten princes have snare cronies, all over the net, and the courtiers only know the nine princes but do not know the prince, even if the crown prince is lucky enough to ascend the throne, after the separation, there will be a rebellion of the nine kings. ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he was even more ignorant in his heart, and he finally couldn't help but retort: "Emperor Gao's division of the kings originally followed the ancient system, which is the way of Nishan, and the Confucianism is the word. Why did Mr. Konghe complain, could it be that Mr. Konghe thought that Nishan was wrong and Zhuru was wrong? ”

"Governing the country cannot be lawless, and the people of Li are changing times. Nishan is the Spring and Autumn Period, not Fagu, but for Cao Lixian. Since the Cao Dynasty, all dynasties have not been divided, and the fierceness of the princes is cooler than the officials. The harm of separation, the Confucianism has long been judged. Yu Ting doesn't know the changes of time, only knows the mud ancient, this is the way to damage Nishan, the words of Confucianism. ”

"Mr. Konghe, be cautious!" When the four princes saw Wei Baiyun taking a bite of Yu Ting, they couldn't help but scold.

Old Madam Wei gently patted the hands of the fourth prince and said to Wei Baiyun, "Baiyun, where are you eating?" Why talk about this, come, Mei Xianggong, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. ”

The fourth prince also bowed to Wei Baiyun and said, "Mr. Konghe, it's a small student who has lost his temper, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay, the old man is also in a mood for a while, and he also invites Mei Xianggong Haihan."

The fourth prince toasted Wei Baiyun with a glass of wine, then looked around, and said to Wei Baiyun, "Why haven't you seen Miss Sisi?" ”

The Wei family all laughed, and the four princes also felt that this was a bit abrupt, picked up the chopsticks, and served the vegetables to Mrs. Wei a little bluntly.

After eating, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums in the backyard, and Mrs. Wei led the four princes to stand up and said to him, "Come, let's go out and have a look." ”

The four princes helped Mrs. Wei to the corridor in the backyard, and in the courtyard, there was already a theater troupe, and when they saw Mei Xianggong coming, they began to perform.

The fourth prince accompanied Mrs. Wei to watch, but he didn't understand very well, and when the people around him applauded, he always took a slow beat before applauding.

"Mei Xiang's fair time don't look at these, you rich guys are also miserable, you can only watch music and dance."

The four princes thought it was true, and the restoration of the ancient system in the Yu Dynasty was very unsatisfactory in many places. All they can watch is Yale and Yawu, and there is nothing pleasing to the eye.

After these plays, Wei Sisi finally appeared, only to see Wei Sisi pretending to be an old student, walking on stage in despair, and singing:

"With a book and a sword, stay in Beijing. There is a yellow list of recruits on the road, and there is no talent in the world. The old Confucian is full of grumbling. Koko fell to the first place under the people, and the director of the department gave wine and rice tea on credit. Q: When is the article valuable? Mixed dragons and snakes, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Once the autumn is tried, watching the lights and drinking is timeless, and I am willing to live up to the ten years under the window. ”

Hearing this song, the fourth prince looked at Wei Baiyun, and half of his depression and anger suddenly disappeared this night, he thought to himself that if Wei Baiyun only had the heart to be a leader, it would be good if he had a few words.

The four princes didn't know that when Wei Baiyun heard this song, what he wanted was not to go out of the Yu Court, but to plan for the restoration of Wei, and this Qiu Yu was just a pretext.

Although both sides had different thoughts, they both showed happy smiles.

When Wei Sisi was about to sing, there was a sudden noise in the front yard.

The fourth prince's face sank, and he held the fan hard again, looking at the front yard.

Soon the county lieutenant walked in with a group of people, and he was about to go to set Wei Baiyun with shackles.

Wei Sisi hurriedly walked over, blocked the officer, and said to the county lieutenant, "What are you doing here?" Why did you want to catch my father. ”

"Miss Sisi, we have received a secret report that you have burned the imperial plaque. This is a big deal, and our master naturally wants to let Mr. Konghe go to the yamen first. ”

At this time, Taohong, who was standing beside the fourth prince, whispered: "What should I do now, I would have known that I wouldn't burn this plaque." ”

"As we said, the plaque was blown away by the wind, and you searched it at that time, didn't you find it?"

The county lieutenant proudly said to Wei Sisi: "This time we have a certificate, whether it was blown away by the wind, Mr. Konghe and we went to the yamen, so we will naturally see." ”

The county lieutenant said, let the official continue to set people, at this time the fourth prince came over, skillfully slapped the officer's hand away, and said to the county lieutenant: "So that's the case, it's not a secret, when the little one was boating that day, suddenly a plaque fell on the small boat." ”

"Really? What kind of plaque is that? What is written on it? ”

The fourth prince said with a smile: "A mahogany plaque, as for what is written on it, Xiaosheng is not very literate, and there is one word that he doesn't know much, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of causing the Fang family to laugh." ”

"Don't be afraid, you just say it." The county lieutenant was sure that this plaque had been burned, and he was not afraid that the person in front of him would really see this plaque.

"The little one only knows that the first two words are the honorific title of your house. As for the latter word, it is the wave of waves, and as for the third word, is he two points of water or three points of water? Xiaosheng can't understand it. ”

The fourth prince said, looked at Wei Baiyun, and said meaningfully: "Xiao Sheng guesses that it should be two points of water Ling." ”

When the county lieutenant heard this, he stammered, "You...... How do you know......? However, the county lieutenant quickly regained his composure, and said to the fourth prince: "There is no basis for what you say, since you said that the plaque is with you, then you can take it out." ”

"This, I have already asked people to send it to Hailan City, after all, it is a gift from God, and Xiaosheng naturally has to keep it."

"Okay, from here to Hailan City, it's only two days away, I'll give you one more day, then three days, three days at noon, if you can't take out this plaque, then the prison is waiting for you."

The county lieutenant said that he didn't give the four princes a chance to bargain, so he took people away.

Wei Sisi looked at the four princes, and also said with some doubts: "Is the plaque really there for you?" ”

"Xiaosheng has been pampered since he was a child, but he doesn't want to go to the prison for a while, Miss Sisi can rest assured, three days later, there will naturally be a plaque here. The hour was not early, and Xiaosheng retired. ”

The Wei family kept it, and then personally sent the four princes out of the gate.

Watching the four princes go away, Mrs. Wei looked at Wei Sisi and said, "I'm afraid that this Mei Xianggong is not surnamed Mei, but Yao." ”

"Mother, why do you say that?"

"If the gentry is the queen, when he sees that calligraphy and painting just now, he should turn around and leave, and it has nothing to do with us Wei rebels. And he can still keep his face unchanged, so he is naturally not afraid of being implicated. ”

After Mrs. Wei finished speaking, she said again: "Even if he is not surnamed Yao, he is also the son of the prince, his performance just now should be that he has eaten at separate tables since he was a child, and this Yu Dynasty is not only the son of the prince, but also after the ordinary gentry, how can he eat at the same table since childhood." ”

When Wei Sisi heard this, he smiled and said, "Grandma, no matter what the origin of this Mei Xianggong is, he doesn't embarrass us now, does he?" ”

"The female college is not staying, not staying, Sisi, forget it, grandma is called old, why do you care about this."

Mrs. Wei doted on Wei Sisi's hand and went back with Wei Sisi.

The next morning, the four princes wrote the words on the plaque again on rice paper.

He went out, inquired, and learned that there was only one family in the city that had carved a wooden plaque.

When the fourth prince arrived, he said to the shopkeeper: "Engrave a plaque according to this specification." ”

When the shopkeeper saw it, he was frightened, and hurriedly said: "This prime minister, if there is no approval from the yamen, the little one will not dare to engrave it." ”

Only then did the four princes think that if they wanted to carve this imperial plaque, no one would dare to carve it without the approval of the imperial court.

He thought for a moment and said, "Give me a copy of the wood, the lacquer, the ink, and the tools." This is fifty taels of silver. ”

The fourth prince took out a silver ticket and put it on it, and the shopkeeper looked at the silver ticket, swallowed his saliva, and did not accept it.

"You can rest assured, if you don't say it, I won't say it. Naturally, you're fine, think about it, can you still earn these fifty taels of silver in half your life. ”

The shopkeeper accepted the money and said to the four princes, "Master, where will you send it?" ”

"Changqingguan, be smart, others will catch the handle, and when the wood arrives, you will be fine."

The shopkeeper nodded and said I know, I know.

The fourth prince was also a little hungry, and when he arrived at Youxian Tower, he was going to eat some breakfast.

When he arrived, he saw Wei Sisi and Taohong sitting there eating steamed buns, Wei Sisi saw the four princes and said to the four princes: "Mei Xianggong, come and sit here." ”

The fourth prince walked over with a smile, sat down after saluting, and Wei Sisi called for a basket of steamed buns again.

"Mei Xianggong, I'm curious, aren't you going to participate in the South List? Why do you still live in Haining City? If it's the matter of the imperial plaque, you can naturally leave, anyway, the county government can't go to Nandu to arrest you. ”

The fourth prince smiled slightly, and said to Wei Sisi, "Miss Sisi, do you have copper coins on you?" ”

Wei Sisi shook his head, not understanding why he asked this, and at this time, Taohong took out a copper coin.

After the fourth prince took it, he said to Wei Sisi: "Miss Sisi, do you know that this copper coin has six copper and four tin?" ”

"Mei Xianggong, you said that the court is not enough to mint money." Wei Sisi laughed, and the fourth prince couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her smile like a flower.

Wei Sisi saw that the four princes were in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "Mei Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" ”

The fourth prince blushed and said to Wei Sisi: "It's okay, Miss Sisi, before the Northern Expedition of the Dynasty, Emperor Wei collected the copper of the world, melted it into copper pieces, and transported it to Xuanwu Country by ship. Therefore, it is encouraged to find copper mines, discover or smelt, and you can supplement the official or supplement the prison. ”

"Then Mei Xianggong, are you going to make up for the prison by looking for a copper mine?"

"yes, isn't that a lot easier than ten years of cold windows? Don't be angry with the examiner, why do you say that the saint is heavy on articles now, which is equivalent to class. ”
