Epilogue 2 Father and Son, King and Minister(2/2)

I think that Emperor Ruizhong was able to grant a king a title to live in a foreign country just because of his skill in riding and shooting, but it was the kind of thing that Xue Zang did.

When the fourth prince faced this kind of question that was like fishing, he naturally asked: "What kind of king? I don't want to go to other places, and I don't want to be king. I just stay with my third brother in the capital. It's good. Well,

When the sea route investigation is clear and I have children so that I won’t be left without an offspring, I will also go overseas to open up territory for my third brother!”

The third prince's expression changed, and just as he was about to stop talking nonsense, the emperor suddenly burst out laughing. After he stopped laughing, the great emperor said in a relaxed tone: "I will remember what you said.

So, I have to find you a more powerful wife, so that you don't run away without a trace without noticing. Let's do this, Sanlang, you can take care of your brother's eyes."

Seeing that his two sons were all stunned for a moment, the emperor turned around and walked out without caring. When he reached the door, he said without looking back: "Choose carefully, only their sisters-in-law can do it."

If we can be as harmonious as the two of you, then I can rest assured. If you feel that your vision is not good, then go to your teacher and Yingying!"

"You think I don't know that you asked Ah Liu to find out about your future wife's character and virtue?"

The fourth prince laughed suddenly and felt extremely embarrassed. Who made it possible for his father to hear everything he just said?

As soon as the emperor left, the fourth prince immediately pestered his third brother with a smile and shamelessly asked someone to pick a good-looking and virtuous daughter-in-law for him - that natural look reminded the third prince of Zhang Chen. The man with the eyes.

The high-ranking eldest son of the Duke of Qin is now a married man. He is no longer a single man who is alone when others are in pairs.

On this night's New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor went to the Fengxian Palace to worship the late emperor as usual - unknowingly, this has become an old habit of the emperor over the years, and everyone, including the queen mother, other concubines, and even the princes and princesses, has become accustomed to it.

.And the fifth prince, who is now able to walk around everywhere, has become another happy fruit besides the third prince, who is hosting the New Year's Eve banquet.

Little Fatty actually knows how to hold a wine flask and pour wine for the Queen Mother and the concubines!

Even if the six-year-old kid is just following the fourth prince, it is already a very interesting scene. Although he is not like the fourth prince who studied in Ciqing Palace at a young age, these are the most important things in the palace.

Anyone with a keen eye can see clearly. The two brothers, who are almost ten years old, love this little brother very much.

Others think this is because no new princes or princesses have been born in the palace in the past few years, so the two elder brothers, especially the third prince, want to show off the virtues of the eldest brother in the East Palace, but in fact... it is just because of the brothers.

Both of them liked the little fat man's cuteness very much.

Unlike the scheming little fat man Lu, their younger brother is indeed a bit silly and very obedient. When bossed around, they feel like they are older brothers. Of course, they naturally protect this youngest brother.

There was no emperor at the night banquet, and since the starry sky could not happen, the concubines certainly had no interest in competing for beauty, but were in harmony. At first glance, it seemed that the queen mother, who had been widowed for many years and once came to the throne, was dressed the best.

The most festive, but even so, it was still difficult to cover up her growing twilight.

Therefore, after the New Year's Eve banquet, which lacked the most important role, the third prince personally supported the Queen Mother and sent her back to Qingning Palace - because this family banquet was held in the now ownerless Kunning Palace, so she left

There was actually a long way to go back to Qingning Palace. However, the Queen Mother refused to sit in the warm sedan chair, so the third prince had to help and coax her, and finally she sent someone to board the sedan chair with her.

This was an eight-carriage sedan chair that could accommodate two people to ride together. It was swaying, so naturally it was not stable, and it was not a good place to talk. However, when he arrived at Qingning Palace, when he was about to leave, the Queen Mother pulled him away without any explanation.

Went in with him.

When he stood in the main hall where Dilong was burned, the third prince suddenly broke out in sweat. Fortunately, Yuquan followed him and took off his outer coat. He felt a lot more relaxed now. When he saw that the Queen Mother also took off her outer coat.

When he was about to speak, he only heard the Queen Mother say: "Your father is the one who will take care of the affairs of the royal court tomorrow, so I won't interfere."

"I just want to tell you one thing. You have to keep an eye on your father at all times. His character is something that you always think of. If you ever want to imitate Emperor Taizu and sail to the sea, that is also possible.

of!"

Seeing the disbelief on the third prince's face, the queen mother said earnestly: "Don't think that your father is letting you go to train you to be familiar with government affairs. Maybe he just wants to give up his son. Other emperors can't do this kind of thing, but he doesn't

Same! Over the years, your father has never changed his old habits."

This time, the third prince finally looked horrified, and then nodded solemnly, accepting the task of keeping an eye on his father.

The next day's Zhengdan court seemed grand but was actually lackluster. Although the emperor rewarded many envoys who went overseas, his attitude toward envoys from various countries was relatively restrained. There were neither large rewards nor

Instead of making unrealistic threats, he focused on opening up trade routes and leaving people to study in the Imperial College. Then, after the court meeting, the third prince discovered that his father had disappeared!

He asked the emperor to send his imperial attendants to search everywhere, but it turned out that there was nothing in the palace. When he went to inquire around the palace gates, he got the reward that the emperor had not left the palace!

At this time, the third prince felt as if he was out of his wits. He thought that the Queen Mother had really made her prophecy true. The young Crown Prince directly called his half-brother to him and told him what the Queen Mother had said. As a result, he was even more vulnerable than he was.

The fourth prince was so angry that he almost jumped up. Then, he was no longer a naughty child but a naughty boy, and gave immediate advice.

"Well, Third Brother, let's go find the teacher! Let's go in through the back door of Zhang Yuan. In the past few years, Ah Liu has begun to sort out the three religions and streams in the capital. If someone looks familiar, there will definitely be clues!"

Although they are crown princes and princes, they are no longer the little carrot heads they used to be. Therefore, it is not difficult for the third prince and the fourth prince to bring enough entourage and attendants to leave the palace. When they arrived at the back door of Zhang Yuan specially designed for them,

The fourth prince took out a key from his arms and inserted it into the keyhole, then opened the door as if he had returned to his own home.

However, the two people left the others watching outside the back door, and then went straight to Zhang Shounei's study by familiar routes. As a result, they passed through the back garden and hurried through a corridor, only to see Ah Liu leaning on the pillar in a daze.

.

At this moment, the fourth prince was relieved. He hurried forward and shouted impatiently: "Sixth brother, it's not good. Please help me quickly. My father is gone! He may have run away from home!"

The third prince saw that Ah Liu's usually expressionless face suddenly froze. He knew that the fourth prince's mindless words might have frightened people, so he hurried forward and coughed:

"The fourth brother didn't explain clearly. It's like this. My father suddenly disappeared after the imperial dynasty. He can't be found anywhere in the palace, but he said he didn't leave the palace."

"And last night, my grandmother reminded me that my father has always admired Emperor Taizu, and he might give up his son..."

Although the third prince spoke much more tactfully than the fourth prince, no matter how dull Ah Liu was, how could he still be like a piece of white paper or a piece of wood after being immersed in a place like the capital for a long time? So he looked at it

Taking one look at the two brothers, they finally dropped the words "Follow me" and turned around to leave. So, the fourth prince quickly grabbed his brother and caught up with him.

When he saw the familiar study door, he suddenly saw Ah Liu turn around, put his finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture to them. Although he didn't know what it was for, the four of them

The prince shut up immediately, but the third prince became more cautious. The two brothers followed people to the door quietly, but they only heard a familiar voice inside.

"So, according to your calculations, monsoons, ocean currents, and sudden storms make it difficult to guarantee the safety of eastbound travel? That's why there is no response from the ship that Old Xianyu piloted to Haidong Continent? That's true, not only

It's him. So far, there is only one boat coming back from Haidong, which shows that traveling eastward is dangerous..."

Next, the third prince and the fourth prince heard Zhang Shou explaining about ocean currents, typhoons, and monsoons... Even though they now felt that they had much broader knowledge than those rotten scholars who only read books about sages, at this time they also

Everyone was stunned for a moment, just like when they heard Zhang Shou explaining the problem of port stagnation to others!

But as he listened, the fourth prince's eyes suddenly widened, and then he pushed the door open without hesitation and rushed in, shouting loudly: "Okay, it turns out that your father is not only planning to run away from home alone, but also

I even plan to kidnap the teacher with me!"

The emperor in the room had long noticed that there seemed to be someone outside. However, since Hua Qi did not warn, this garden was considered the safest place. He only thought that it was Zhang Luo, the eldest daughter of Zhang Shou, or Ah Liu deliberately let go.

I stepped hard, but I never thought it would be such a coincidence.

When he saw behind the fourth prince, it was the third prince with a somewhat unsightly look who came in. Thinking of the word "run away from home", the emperor, who was no longer young anymore, was a little dumbfounded: "Why did I run away from home?"

The third prince who followed him said faintly: "Grandma just said last night that I should be on guard against you, father, because you want to pick a son, but you suddenly disappeared today. We just heard you talking about going to Haidong Continent by sea outside..."

Father, if you don’t want to set sail and go to sea, what does that mean?

It was rare for the third prince to come so directly to his face. Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing when he heard the implication. The fourth prince muttered angrily: "When we found out that our father was not in the palace, we almost killed him."

The palace was turned upside down, and then I came to the teacher to make a decision, but it turned out that it was better for you, Father... Fortunately, we arrived in time!"

The emperor looked at this expression as if you would really run away if we didn't come. The more the emperor looked at it, the more interesting it became. Finally he burst out laughing. After laughing, he said seriously: "I do plan to marry you."

The teacher is going to sea to travel around the world, but if he agrees now, Yingying will not agree. The Queen Mother probably has an idea, but she can't guess the time."

"It would be irresponsible to give up your son now. Wait ten years and you will be married and have children. The prince will be impatient, so I will give up the throne."

Seeing that the third prince was stunned at first, and then his face gradually turned red, and it was obvious that he was about to explode. Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing, and then he coughed dryly and said: "Your Majesty, be careful, this kind of joke is not allowed, the third prince should be sad!

"

The emperor actually noticed this, so he sighed awkwardly the next moment and said: "What Zhang Shou reminds me is that I did make a mistake. However, I have been the emperor for too long. After ten years, no matter what,

He is an emperor who has been in power for more than forty years. He is a good enough man and has always been in love. When the time comes to die, he will lament that he is too old and too old. Why bother?"

"Throughout the ages, there has never been an emperor who has never faded away. I don't think I will be an exception! As for your teacher, does he need my abductor? You don't know how many marine escape devices the guys in his workshop developed that day.

This guy is so afraid of death that even if he really wants to set sail, he will never leave until he enjoys it enough!"

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say." Zhang Shou repeated what he had said before with a dark face, and then said with an unkind expression, "If Your Majesty wishes me to say anything to the third and fourth princes again, then please feel free to do so."

Of course, another emperor would not be able to bear such a disrespectful threat, but Zhang Shou did have some small reasons for his recent departure from the palace, so the emperor could only snort angrily, and then said to his two sons in a serious voice: "You guys

If you look at me as useless, you have to look at your teacher. Even if I am not reliable, I will not disappear from the world without even a ceremony?"

Terms such as evaporation and distillation are no longer unfamiliar to the third and fourth princes with the publication of Zhang Shouna's physical chemistry textbook. Thinking about it carefully now, it is true. Even if they learn from Taizu, Taizu is at least

After abdicating the throne, he went overseas!

So, the fourth prince looked at Zhang Shou hard, and then said word by word: "Okay, I will move to Zhang Yuan later and keep an eye on the teacher!"

"Get the hell out of here!"

Seeing Zhang Shou angrily glaring at the fourth prince, but the latter went up to him and stalked him with a playful smile. The emperor thought of the serious topics just now and felt relaxed, until he saw the third prince still staring at him.

He was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth gradually raised, and he laughed again. His son was already old, and he could no longer play with him on his lap like he did when he was a child, or carry people around in circles in the Qianqing Palace, treating them as if they were children.

The best toy to relieve boredom. Although he had some slight regrets, he also felt an indescribable sense of relief at this moment.

But the next moment, the emperor, who was thinking about whether ten years was too long, was choked up by the words of the third prince and almost lost his breath: "When my father leaves the palace in the future, please leave records of entry and exit at each door. Don't
