The emperor looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, and said with a sneer, "I know what you are anxious about, once I am gone, you will not be able to support this great danger." Hehe, I haven't left yet, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? Rest assured, I already have a person in my heart who can be entrusted to the country, and he will make you happy and convinced, and sincerely serve him as the Lord. ”

The hundred officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do next, at this time Bian Tan spoke again, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that His Royal Highness is a last resort, and the Nine Emperors are rich and elegant, benevolent and generous, rich and noble, and they are the so-called trustworthy people of the emperor." At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty and the beginning of 10,000 years, I respectfully invite the emperor to determine the storage position as soon as possible. ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the Nine Emperor Princes, and saw that the Nine Emperor Princes were smiling, and there was an indescribable pride between his eyebrows.

Seeing this, the Emperor spoke again, "Do you know what I said to Emperor Gao when I was kneeling down just now. ”

The emperor stood up and said to them, "I ask Emperor Gao, why are all my ten sons inferior in intelligence, knowledge, and courage. This Emperor Gao personally handed over the country to me, who should I hand it over? ”

Although he didn't say this, all the officials understood that the emperor was unwilling to appoint the Nine Emperors as the prince.

But now, they have no way back, and they once again said in unison, "The ministers think that the Nine Emperor Princes can take on this great responsibility, and the ministers and others jointly protect the performance and appoint the Nine Emperor Princes as the crown prince." ”

At this time, Dasi Nong also said, "The storage position is empty, it is related to the country, and I also ask the sage to judge as soon as possible, so as to calm the society and settle the dispute." "Da Si Nong is not talking for the Nine Emperor Princes, now that things have evolved to this point, he must come out to play a round. lest things deteriorate further, he didn't want to see Baiguan go to heaven because of this matter in the heavenly family.

At this time, Concubine Ya said, "Sage, the imperial banquet is complete, please pass the meal." ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the hundred officials and said with a smile, "When I left Beijing yesterday, I sent an edict to the prefect of Liangzhou Prefecture, which said that the general Wang is my favorite son and a rare good general. I asked him to order the whole army, take charge of life and death, and follow the instructions of the great general king. If there is negligence, the general's sword is like my sword. ”

This is clearly said, and everyone present is not stupid, You Dexiu immediately said, "The general Corporal Wang Lixian, loyal and brave, has the resources of the sky, and he is the crown prince, and the ministers go to the soup and fire, which is the trend." ”

The Emperor continued to smile and said, "Besides, besides, after you have discussed it in detail, you will present it again." Pass the meal. ”

Everyone's hearts lit up, understanding that the emperor was waiting for them to play the joint performance of the Ten Princes, and everyone didn't say anything, but Bian Tan looked at the Nine Emperors and didn't speak.

After everyone finished eating, they drove back to Beijing with the emperor.

That night, Bian Tan came to the mansion of the Nine Emperor Princes, and when he arrived in the back hall, Bian Tan said to the Nine Emperor Princes, "I didn't expect that the sage intended to make the Ten Princes the crown prince." ”

The Nine Emperor Princes drank tea and said with a smile, "Great Situ, this is just a sage's polite words. It's true that the saint likes Lao Shi, after all, it's him. But to make Lao Shi the crown prince, that's just a joke. Lao Shi has always been stubborn, and he is still young, how can his father trust the country to him with confidence. ”

"Yes, if this country is entrusted to the Ten Princes, the old minister will not be at ease. However, some people have already begun to play together, ready to play the Ten Princes. I don't know how your Highness the Ninth is going to deal with it? ”

"Writing theirs, how could the father accept it so easily. It's better to let them suffer, or they won't give up. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes said indifferently, then avoided the matter and said to Bian Tan, "I heard that someone has been printing books in the East China Sea recently. ”

"Yes, that Wu Yuan is going to print a set of "Selected Poems of the Three Dynasties", is His Royal Highness Nine also interested in this matter?"

The Nine Emperor Princes nodded, thought for a while, and said, "This is a good thing, it is beneficial to Shilin, I am going to buy hundreds of sets and give them to your lords." ”

When Bian Tan heard this, he touched his beard and said gratefully, "Then thank you Your Highness the Nine." ”

The two did not talk about political affairs next, but talked about literature and poetry.

The next morning, after the morning pilgrimage.

When Concubine Ya returned to the Liushang Residence in the Bingquan Palace, she heard the maid say, "Niangniang, the prince of Xiangguo has arrived." ”

Concubine Ya smiled and said to the maid, "Let him come." ”

After a while, the maid came in with Su Youfang, and after Su Youfang entered the door, he saluted respectfully and said, "Little nephew Su Youfang meets Concubine Ya Niangniang, Niang Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Hearing Su Youfang's words, Concubine Ya smiled and said, "Calm down, Youfang, stand up and let your aunt take a look at you." ”

Su Youfang stood up and looked at Concubine Ya with a bright face, Concubine Ya smiled and said, "Well, you look like your mother, compared to your brothers, you are a little more delicate." ”

Su Youfang said respectfully, "Auntie, although the nephew is good-looking, the nephew's heart is the same as that of his grandfather, he is righteous and not afraid of treachery. ”

"Okay, okay." The emperor's voice suddenly came from outside, and when Su Youfang was about to kneel, the emperor walked in and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, I am also going to summon you to the Sitting Forgetting Pavilion, but I didn't expect you to come to this Ice Spring Palace first." ”

Beside the emperor, Yaodi looked at Su Youfang curiously, and Su Youfang also looked at Yaodi curiously, not knowing what Yaodi's identity was.

After the emperor took his seat, he asked Su Youfang and said, "I heard that you often go out hunting on horseback, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Yes, since he was sensible, Xiao Chen has been riding horses and archery, training himself. Xiaochen's father often taught Xiaochen that we have received the grace of God and sit in the southeast, so we must know the grace and repay it, and protect the southeast for the saints. ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled and said, "Bow horses naturally have to be practiced, have you ever read the book of war?" ”

"Xiao Chen has read some of them, but Xiao Chen thinks that the military book is useless, and the truth written in the military book is known by Xiao Chen, and others also know, so what's the use? The minister believes that the way to use soldiers is to keep one mind. The so-called impermanence of soldiers, impermanence of water. The real book of war is not in the book, but on the battlefield. ”

Su Youfang talked eloquently, and the emperor couldn't help nodding when he listened, and said to Su Youfang, "It's indeed such a truth, I didn't expect you to have such insight at a young age." Yaode, you have to learn from your cousin. ”

"Okay, grandfather, but the grandson has a cousin, and he can understand these truths. In case of war, the child can use him. Grandfather, didn't you say that? We must learn to use others, not ourselves. ”

When the emperor heard this, he patted his hand lightly and did not answer.

After a while, the emperor continued to ask Su Youfang a few questions, and Su Youfang answered them all very decently. In the end, Su Youfang said to the emperor, "Sage, the minister has a reluctant request, the minister heard that Lantai has a copy of the Book of Chen, and the minister wants to borrow it." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Ya scolded and said, "Friend, this book is not something that the princes can see, so don't quickly ask for guilt." After speaking, Concubine Ya said to the emperor, "The saint forgives the sins, the friend is still young, and he speaks falsely, and I ask the saint to forgive me." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Yingying, don't be so careful. Friend, I would like to ask you, why do you want to watch this "Book of Chen". ”

"The sage is good, the little one knows that there are powerful strategies in the history books, the strategies of the ministers, the disasters of the heavenly officials, the terrain and the misery, and the only way to use soldiers like gods can only be used by reading more history. The minister has read all the history books before the Chen Dynasty and has a lot of feelings. It's a pity that I didn't see "Chen Shu". When Su Youfang said this, he explained again, "Wang Xiaoqing said that history books are not suitable for princes, which is just short-sighted. Since ancient times, even if you know how to use soldiers to enter the gods and have unparalleled strategies, it is impossible to win the world. Because this world is given by God, and it cannot be obtained by striving for. ”

Hearing the last sentence, the emperor laughed and said to Su Youfang, "Okay, very good, I'll have someone give you the Book of Chen." Take a good look, the southeast of Dayu will be handed over to your Su family. ”

After the emperor had lunch here, he took Yaodi back to the imperial study, and the emperor entered the study and waved the people inside to leave.

I searched the shelves for a long time before I found a slightly old book. The emperor personally patted the dust on it, and then handed it to Yaodi and said, "Your father and their generation, I have asked them to read a book each, and now you are not young, you take this book, read it well, read it well." ”

Yaodi took the book, looked at the word Di Fan written on it, and asked curiously, "Grandfather, what kind of book is this?" ”

"The emperor is the emperor. Fan is the method. This book is to tell you how to be a good emperor. Your great-grandfather asked me to copy it, and now I give it to you. However, Yaode, you have to remember that you can only let your parents know about the book I gave you, not your uncles and uncles. Do you understand? ”

Yaodi looked at the book in his hand as if he didn't understand, and said to the emperor, "Grandfather, if your grandson can't read it, can I come and ask you?" ”

"No, no, when you grow up and encounter a lot of things, you will know what this book is about." The emperor looked at Yaodi dotingly, asked him to put the book away, and asked, "Yaodi, tell me what I just said." ”

"Grandfather said, don't tell outsiders about this book."

The emperor nodded, and told him, "Your mother is well-read, and if you don't know any words, just ask him." ”

"Well, in fact, my grandson understands that if my grandson encounters a word he doesn't know, he will write it out separately and ask Mr. to prevent him from knowing that his grandson has a book."

"Smart, Yaodi, this book will be handed over to you, grandfather, I will rest assured, go and say hello to your grandmother, if you go into the palace and don't go to see her, she will be angry with you,"
