Crown Prince's Counterattack

In the second year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, his mother Guo Shengtong was established as the queen, and Liu Jiang was the crown prince.In the 17th year of Jianwu, Empress Guo was abolished, Liu Jiang felt uneasy, and asked Emperor Guangwu to change him to be a vassal.Emperor Guangwu couldn't bear to do this at first, and finally named Liu Jiang the king of the East China Sea in June of the 19th year of Jianwu, and he took over the country in the 28th year of Jianwu.Because Liu Jiang was not abolished due to fault, it would be polite to go there, so Emperor Guangwu specially increased the fief, "eating Lu County as well as 29 counties".Liu Jiang died of illness in May of the first year of Emperor Yongping (58) of Han Ming Dynasty at the age of 34.

#****************

In the midsummer of June, the lush trees cover the sky and the sun, Wenshu Pavilion is hidden in the shade of trees, rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, ice basins are placed in the attic, and the curtains on all sides are also drawn. In the breeze.

"Your Highness, what the old minister is going to talk about today is "University""

Mr. Wei kowtowed to Sima Yi, then stood up tremblingly, shaking his head in self-indulgence, very intoxicated with himself.

"The way of great learning lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the ultimate good. Knowing and stopping, then there is steadiness, and then you can be calm, and then you can be peaceful, and then you can think about it, and then you can get it after thinking about it. From the beginning to the end, if you know the sequence, you will get the shortest way..."

Sima Yi flipped through the books on the table, flipped through a few pages casually out of boredom, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and listened to the old man reciting ancient prose, he yawned a few times, with a sleepy expression.

Mr. Wei squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on Sima Yi, who was half asleep and half awake, and he looked away as if he hadn't seen anything, and he turned his back to the university, his expression did not change the slightest from the beginning to the end.

Sima Yi propped his face with one hand, his demeanor did not follow the rules of the palace, this market look had a certain air of elegance, he seemed to be half asleep, his eyes fell on Mrs. Wei with gray hair on his temples, and the corners of his mouth were drawn up. A faint smile.

This Master Wei's status is not ordinary, a contemporary university scholar, knowledgeable, self-restraining and respecting rituals, and has many disciples, so he was appointed by Liu Xiu as the crown prince and Taifu, responsible for teaching him knowledge.It's a pity that this old master is good at everything, but he is an old minister from the previous dynasty, so he chose to submit to him in desperation. Liu Xiu gave this vain job only because he wanted to win the loyalty of the veteran from the previous court, and Liu Xiu could not be reused at all.And the sending of such a veteran is an important signal in the eyes of those cunning courtiers in the previous dynasty.

I don't know if it was his intention, or Liu Xiu's instigation, this Master Wei has been teaching Confucian classics for the past few years, and he has never dabbled in Spring and Autumn. It seems that he is going to be taught to be a pedantic scholar. I have been a prince for many years, but I never knew that the prince of a country is cultivated in this way.He is also approaching the age of marriage, but Liu Xiu has never let him get in touch with political affairs, and the reason for this has to arouse Sima Yi's vigilance.

In the entire attic, apart from Mr. Wei's reading, there was only the intermittent chirping of cicadas outside the window. Apart from the servants, Sima Yi and Mr. Wei were the only ones in the huge room, so it was quite deserted.Sima Yi once asked Liu Xiu for an apprenticeship, but it was a pity that he turned him back in the name of concentrating on his studies. You must know that this apprenticeship is not just an apprenticeship, but also an opportunity to cultivate future confidants. , is also the heart of Sima Zhao.

It's a pity that these methods didn't work on Sima Yi. When it was about time, Sima Yi stood up and saluted Master Wei before leaving Wenshu Pavilion. It was like this every day.

Wei Fuzi put down his book, the tea on the table was completely cold, he took a few sips to relieve his hot body, the daily routine came to an end, Liu Xiu once hinted to him that he could only follow the rules, but After such a long time, he still can't understand this young man who can only be regarded as a child, but the heir of the royal family is always a bit complicated.

On the way back to the East Palace, Sima Yi happened to pass by the Imperial Garden, bursts of cheerful laughter caught Sima Yi's attention.He walked up with light steps, and what he saw made his eyes flash.

"Father, please help me fly the kite up!"

"Okay, father is here to help you, naughty girl"

In the imperial garden, a delicate-looking girl is pulling a middle-aged man in bright yellow coquettishly, the majestic man is hugging his little daughter, his eyes are full of doting, not far away is a palace The woman who pretended to be beautiful looked at this scene with a warm smile in her eyes. This kind of warm scene that can only be seen in the common people happened in the cold palace, which is undoubtedly a kind of irony. Sima Yi wanted to wait until today. When the news spread to the Queen's Palace, it is estimated that many people will be implicated.

Sima Yi left quietly, and the little eunuchs also followed him lightly, the warm family on the other side didn't notice it.

Mist and thick clouds, warm jade and fragrance, on the wall made of dragon and phoenix, gurgling water spouts from the mouth of two dragons spitting out beads, flowing into the pool made of white jade, and a faint mist rises, rising from the copper stove at the corner Curling light smoke, faint fragrance floats faintly, and the pattern of Eight Immortals crossing the sea is engraved on the jade screen, as if you are in a fairyland on earth.

Sima Yi sat leaning on the steps, the water just below his chest, the jade on the steps was icy cold, it happened to be summer at this time, the warm and cool touch made him sigh comfortably.The beautiful maid knelt on the ground, pinching his shoulders respectfully, but showing him shoulders and raising eyebrows from time to time, even if she was doing seductive things, she was still a little bit young, Sima Yi also Just look at it as a fun thing.

When Guo Shengtong broke in, Sima Yi just put on his clothes. After taking a bath, he was unusually tender, with red lips and white teeth, like a golden boy sitting by Guanyin. Seeing such a well-behaved son, Guo Shengtong's face softened a little. But when he saw the respectful little maid standing behind Sima Yi, Guo Shengtong's face turned sour again.

"Go out, let me go out!"

After Guo Shengtong reprimanded them, the maids and eunuchs ran out in a panic, fearing that they would lose their lives in the next moment.Sima Yi sat down very calmly, this happened more than once.

But it's no wonder Guo Shengtong was so angry. Ren's mother would be upset if she saw a group of Yingyingyanyan around her son, and she would be unhappy if she tried to lead him to be bad. When it comes to female sex, it's really heart-wrenching!

Guo Shengtong thought through gritted teeth.

This is not the first batch. Ever since Sima Yi reached a certain age, all the maids sent to the East Palace are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and some of them even don't have to enter the palace. They have different postures and different temperaments. Talent is not lacking, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort.The meaning of sending these women to the prince who is just young and sprouting, and seduce him from time to time is self-evident, trying to seduce him to indulge in female sex.Guo Shengtong had already sent away a batch before, and the next batch will be sent in continuously. If anyone can do this without the empress in charge of palace affairs, who else can there be except the emperor? Sima Yi can only smile, life is In this way, what should be endured is still to be enjoyed, but it's a pity that Liu Xiu's thoughts were wasted in vain, it can be seen that this person's heart is biased to the extreme, at least he has never seen such messy things from Yin Lihua's son Liu Yang.

"It must be that bitch again who is sowing discord behind her back!"

Guo Shengtong turned his eyes sideways, his eyes were cold, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

She blamed Yin Lihua for what her husband Liu Xiu did. If it wasn't for that woman behind her back, how could her husband do such a foolish thing? The husband must have been blinded by that woman's resentment.

Sima Yi, however, was somewhat disapproving. He didn't think that people like Liu Xiu would be deceived by women, not to mention that Yin Lihua was not a simple woman, and would not do such a stupid thing. He could only say that this was Liu Xiu's intention in the first place, nothing more than Want to find an excuse to depose his crown prince.But looking at the woman who had been blinded by jealousy in front of him, Sima Yi wisely chose to keep his words in his heart.

"Jiang'er, you're still young, it's better to have less sex with women, don't let anyone take advantage of you"

Guo Shengtong feels that it doesn't matter if his son favors a few women, but he doesn't want Liu Jiang to be obsessed with women. He must know that there are still people on the other side watching over him, waiting for their mother and son to make mistakes.

"Mother, don't worry, my son is such a disrespectful person, these women have never touched me, and my son will never let my mother down."

Sima Yi comforted Guo Shengtong and said, not to mention whether he was interested, but the conspiracy behind it also made him lose his appetite.

"The queen mother is very pleased, don't blame the queen mother for being too strict with you, because you are the queen mother's hope!"

Guo Shengtong expressed emotion, his strong character only revealed a little fragility in front of her son.She has always been smooth sailing since she was a child, and when she grows up, she marries the person she likes and sits in a position that all women in the world envy, as if all her luck has been exhausted.The failure of her relatives' rebellion caused her to be in an embarrassing position now. She lost her husband's favor, and even her troubled son was not favored by her husband. Occasionally, she would feel discouraged when she dreamed back at midnight, but she survived by a feeling of unwillingness.

Looking at Sima Yi, Guo Shengtong felt that all her courage had come back, this was all she could do in this life, but her son deserved his rightful place, and she must not let that bitch and her child have a good time .

"Mother, don't worry"

Sima Yi was not a real young man after all, Liu Xiu's methods had little effect on him, but if things continued like this, he had to find a way out quickly.
