The feelings of the eldest prince and the second prince, who were known as crying blood, caused waves in the court and were neither small nor small. After the emperor has been successfully abolished, the two brothers used to be half a catty to eight taels, and they did not know how to show grace to the subordinates and win the hearts of the people, so in the case that the emperor has eaten the scales and canonized the three princes as the crown princes, the former supporters of the party have already quietly changed their flags.

Of course, if Hong Shanchang seconded the proposal in a letter, he felt that the eldest prince and the second prince should be given a chance, and they would never be out of the question. At any time, there will be so-called righteous gentlemen who are pretentious and upright, and there will also be so-called speculative villains who take the opportunity to bet on standing in line and hope to fight for a wealth and glory.

Therefore, although Hong Shanchang was the first to write a letter to ask for a chance for the eldest prince and the second prince, he was not treated by both the pros and cons at the same time. Because, the head of Yuzhang Academy repeatedly called the eldest prince and the second prince brothers a serious sin, claiming that they were allowed to participate in the sutra feast in order to listen to the teachings of the virtuous people from all sides, and then change their minds and become new people.

As for the words such as the eldest and youngest, Hong Shanchang didn't mention it, and even said that he had proposed that his daughter Hong was worthy of the eldest prince, as if he had forgotten. In his words, there is a meaning between the lines, the Son of Heaven is merciful, if the two brothers have the slightest delusion, they are bastards!

In this way, when the other three mountain chiefs in the house talked about Hong Shanchang to the students, they naturally hated it.

And when Yue Shanchang, the chief of Zhaoming Academy, spoke to a senior brother who was an official in the court, he even used eight words to evaluate Hongshanchang - he is self-righteous and self-righteous.

While a small group of people either seconded or opposed, and most of them remained silent and waited for the emperor's decision, a piece of news spread throughout the capital—the third prince begged the emperor to give the eldest prince and the second prince the opportunity to participate in the feast.

At first, such a news was dismissed as nonsense, and everyone knew that the eldest prince and the second prince had bullied their younger brothers in the past, but soon some people felt that this news was not impossible. After all, if the third prince, who is about to become the crown prince of the East Palace, shows generosity and benevolence to the two unsuccessful brothers, wouldn't it be for himself to establish the image of a virtuous prince?

But people waited, waited, but they didn't see the official letter of the third prince, as if the hearsay news was just a big joke for everyone. So, when a group of Zhundong Palace attendants gathered in Kunning Palace again on this day to accompany the third prince, who was not yet the crown prince, to study, someone couldn't help but ask: "The news outside is so boiling, why don't the three princes clarify?" ”

"Clarify what?" The third prince raised his eyebrows a little puzzled, and when the news was whispered, he said in an understated tone, "If I write to advise my father, it will be because I have gained a reputation for being wise and benevolent, but I have trapped my father in a place of injustice." In this case, it is better for me to be said to be a younger brother but not understand filial piety, and I am indifferent to the pitiful situation of the two elder brothers. ”

At this moment, even Lu Sanlang, who replaced Qi Liang today, was a little surprised: "Then it is rumored that the third prince is ......."

The fourth prince immediately shouted: "How can it be the third brother, the third brother, like me, hates the eldest brother and the second brother the most, how could he advise his father and ask for a chance for them!" It must be nonsense from people outside, hoping to squeeze the third brother to intercede for the eldest brother and the second brother...... This is simply wishful thinking, the third brother is not so stupid! ”

was directly called stupid by his fourth brother, and the third prince suddenly smiled bitterly. He coughed a little embarrassedly, interrupting the words of the fourth prince, and then glanced at Zhang Shou and whispered: "Teacher, in fact, I have suggested this to my father, but there is no need to go to the book." On the contrary, I feel that those who seconded the proposal in the letter did not understand the feelings of my father at all! ”

The mood of the emperor ...... Zhang Shou saw that Lu Sanlang was thoughtful, and the others looked at each other, but he felt that he could understand the emperor's complex and subtle thoughts.

Thinking that Zhang Chen pretended to be the second prince's confidant, secretly fought with the eldest prince in the ring, and then forced the eldest prince to jump over the wall in Cangzhou, when he confessed the whole thing to the emperor, the emperor was actually quite angry.

Of course, the anger of this son of heaven is that his eldest son is not angry, but the anger also includes Zhang Chen's boldness!

But Zhang Chen pretended to be the henchman of the second prince, just because he wanted to chop off the claws that the eldest prince stretched out, and the next price increase of the left hand to the right hand was just to deter those local tyrants, who made the big prince in Cangzhou want to be consumed? If it weren't for these, even if the emperor had already been disappointed in the eldest son and second son, Zhang Chen would have to walk around without eating.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "The third prince is right, those who seconded the proposal in the book either seek fame or profit, either to seek a reputation of Geng Jie's uprightness, or to bet on both sides, gambling on one eventuality, but they did not take into account what kind of mood the emperor is like as a father, enduring the pain of imprisoning the eldest son and banishing the second son." ”

"The third prince knew that he was persuading in private, but he didn't write for the sake of fame, this is a good son who understands his father. If you follow the nonsense of reading in order to gain the reputation of benevolence and wisdom, then you will live up to the emperor's fatherly heart to protect you for so many years, and I have accepted you as the wrong student. You're doing a great job this time, keep up the good work! ”

"The teacher has won the award, I haven't thought about it so much, I just think that letting the eldest brother and the second brother come out to participate in the feast will not affect the overall situation, and if you go to the book, more people will definitely follow suit. I don't know how it can be spread outside that it was me who advised my father, before today, I only told my father, and even the fourth brother didn't know! ”

The third prince was a little embarrassed by Zhang Shou's praise, and hurriedly tried his best to explain. But the fourth prince was not annoyed, after his eyes rolled for a moment, he actually smiled.

"Teacher, according to what you say, if the third brother mentions his father like this, his father should be very happy? Then I will rush Ming'er in front of my father and shout that the eldest brother and the second brother had better not be released, will I be reprimanded by my father? But in this way, wouldn't it be able to set off the third brother to be more benevolent? If that's the case, I'll go back to see my father!" ”

In the face of such a powerful brain supplement, not to mention Zhang Shou, Lu Sanlang and those attendants, even the third prince himself was already speechless. If the fourth prince heard the advice of the third prince, he might have pleased the emperor, so he planned to draw a gourd and learn from it, it would be normal, but who would have thought that the fourth prince would come up with this reverse move!

This is simply using yourself to contrast with others, and the realm is so high that it is jaw-dropping!

Outside the thick curtain of the main hall of Kunning Palace, even the emperor, who came to inspect the study progress of his two sons in person, couldn't help but hold his forehead at this moment, thinking that in order to let the two brothers be so harmonious and intimate all the time, he simply let the two continue to study together, would this be wrong.

He is not worried about the disharmony between his brothers now, he is worried that the stupid boy of the fourth prince is too dedicated to his brother!

However, the emperor was very satisfied with what Zhang Shou said to the three princes. Especially for the third prince to verbally advise himself, but he did not officially write a book, leaving any basis that could be commented on by the courtiers, he was even more satisfied if he didn't have so many eyes.

He didn't push the door to go in and alarm this group of teenagers who were studying, he happily turned around and went down the steps, and when he passed by Ah Liu, who was sitting on the steps, he stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly on the shoulder, and then coughed and said: "Ah Liu, you have to be more conscientious in guarding the door in the future, even if I come, you should at least make a sound, you are not afraid that their secret business inside will be broken by me?" ”

Ah Liu glanced up at the emperor, patted his ass and stood up, and said solemnly: "I can hear it." ”

Although this was simple, the emperor immediately understood the meaning. This kid is saying, the reason why I am confident and bold to let you go is because I heard what was being said inside, and there was not the slightest word of taboo at all! Although such a big truth was very different from the kind of beautiful words he was used to hearing in the past, he couldn't help but laugh at how he listened to it.

Gently tapped his finger at the young man in front of him, he shook his head and said: "You kid can't even say a word to please me, this is far inferior to Zhang Shou, if that kid can't speak, can coax Yingying to fall in love with him, can coax the teacher to treat him as the most proud student, can coax me to use him so much, can I use him so much?" ”

Ah Liu was silent for a moment, but finally the corners of his mouth curled: "The young master taught me to tell the truth, and I don't care if he says it or not." ”

The emperor, who was in a good mood, laughed when he landed. He didn't care if his laughter would be heard by the people inside, and he left without looking back. There is no doubt that it is rumored that the third prince suggested to him that the eldest prince and the second prince should be released and let them participate in the feast, this news was not released by someone with ulterior motives at all, but he himself instructed Hua Qi to release it!

And the reason why this news can spread in a short period of time is naturally fueled by someone. And he, who personally released this news, naturally did not miss the other promoters who were desperately promoting the news behind his back.

Among them, there are some court officials who praise the prince for his virtuousness, and before he has time for the three princes to enter the East Palace, they plan to wave their flags and shout and proclaim themselves princelings.

There was a former elder faction, but now the dog who lost his family in fear all day long, on the one hand, he planned to make a gesture of doing his best to the old master, and on the other hand, he wagged his tail at the third prince, hoping to continue the road of official career that had been broken.

There are those officials who are optimistic about the Three Princes and think that the virtuous and benevolent Three Princes should be better than him, the often opinionated and maverick emperor—and most of these people are also the people who oppose Zhang Shou, the most eloquent in the Eastern Palace.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "San Lang, this kid, I really haven't hurt him for so many years in vain, and Shiro is not bad!" ”

The emperor who walked out of Kunning Gate left a dashing back for the third and fourth princes who heard the news.

After all, with only one layer of door curtains soundproofing, the conversation and laughter between him and Ah Liu still alarmed the people inside. It's just that the others were stopped by Zhang Shou, and only the pair of royal brothers ran out in a hurry.

Seeing that the emperor came quietly and left quietly, the four princes wanted to open their mouths to shout, but they were stopped by the third prince. After stopping people, the third prince stared at his father's back for a while, and then grabbed the fourth prince's wrist and walked inside. When he returned to the East Warm Pavilion of Kunning Palace, where everyone was studying together, he smiled a little unnaturally.

"It should be that my father is not at ease, so I came to see how I learned from the teacher."

Everyone knows that this is just an excuse for the three princes, but no one will be stupid enough to expose it. It's just that for the emperor to suddenly kill here, Ah Liu, who was obviously guarding outside, did not warn, and everyone, including Lu Sanlang, naturally muttered a little. Among them, after the little fat man got out of the palace, he rode to Zhang Shou's side, and couldn't help but complain about it half-truthfully.

"It doesn't matter, Ah Liu used to be like this at home, and he directly put Yingying or the teacher in front of my study at every turn."

After Zhang Shou answered this question casually, seeing Lu Sanlang's face full of astonishment, he smiled and said, "Don't you think that compared to what you say in front of others, others will feel more satisfied when they hear your sincere words in secret?" For example, today is in the palace, even if you know that Ah Liu is guarding outside, will you say anything taboo? ”

Lu Sanlang suddenly realized, but then asked cautiously: "Then the little gentleman, you cooperated with Ah Liu?" Could it be that you are also a master like Ah Liu, who listens to the six ways and sees all directions? ”

"Master, you're big! I am open in my heart, and I have nothing to say for fear of being heard. Zhang Shou saw Lu Sanlang's dry smile but disbelief, so he said with a smile, "Otherwise, you can think about it, you have known me for so long, have you ever heard half a bad word about the emperor, the teacher, or Yingying from me?" ”

Lu Sanlang thinks about it, but if he thinks about it again, he is not the same, he complains about his father and brother to people a lot outside, and as for complaining about Zhang Shou to others...... Not once!

Zhang Shou made his prodigal son, who had always been looked down upon, turn back into a genius, so not only did he turn over, but he also became someone else's child who was often praised by his father; But if you want to say that Zhang Shou himself, isn't it because Zhu Ying favors him, Ge Yong loves him, and the emperor reuses it, so he has become the hottest person in the entire capital, and even more conspicuous than the always radiant Zhu Dagongzi?

In this case, if he says bad things about Zhang Shou, he has no conscience...... And Zhang Shou said that those three bad words were also ungrateful!

"Little sir, you are a frank and unrestrained gentleman, I have been taught!" Lu Sanlang, who had already deeply understood the essence of Zhang Shou's words, squeezed his eyes at Zhang Shou as he spoke, and then gave a thumbs up, "In the future, I will definitely learn from you to be so frank...... Having said that, sir, you really can't reveal to me what kind of words you gave me? ”

Seeing Lu Sanlang's resentful appearance to the extreme, Zhang Shou remembered the scene when Ge Yong asked him to choose the table words, and he couldn't help but have a sense of pleasure in feng shui taking turns. He smiled slightly, and said idly, "Guess? ”

"If I could guess, I wouldn't ask!" Lu Sanlang was so aggrieved that his whole face was almost entangled, and then he said pitifully, "My big name Lu Zhu is already very difficult to hear, little sir, you must give me a nice name, I will live by this, I can't be called Lu Sanlang at a lot of age in the future, right?" ”
