His Royal Highness the First Prince of Daliang

Even if the fourth prince came to school without receiving the emperor's order, would Zhibozhai dare to drive him out?

Fortunately, today is not the main class, and only a few instructors were arranged to serve the prince's children to read it. One of the instructors picked a Mongolian book at random and taught the fourth prince to read it sentence by sentence.

The Fourth Prince rarely showed himself in front of others, but there were many discussions about him inside and outside the palace.One of them is that he has turned six years old, and he has not yet enrolled in Zhibozhai.

Those princes, tutors, scripture teachers and teachers in Zhibozhai are not without curiosity and speculation about this matter.They also met the fourth prince a few times, but almost every time he was carried by Emperor Hui to see his brothers and sisters, and he went back after showing his face twice.There is no more communication.Neither the Emperor Hui nor the imperial concubine were very willing for their youngest son to see strangers, and now they believed that young children were weak souls and would be easily frightened and assaulted by strangers.Before the child is raised, it is best to rarely see outsiders.

Therefore, the festivals and occasions when many princes and children showed up, and the meetings and banquets of foreign tributes, this little prince who is so pampered and loved has never appeared.

The reason why he is known to everyone in the court is that not long after he was born, Emperor Liang Hui personally went to Ci'an Temple to pray for him; The envoy of the legendary folk doctor has finally returned.The birthplace and name of this miracle doctor could not be traced, only that he has disappeared from the world for a long time, so he should be no longer alive.As for his descendants, there is no news in Jianghu.

At that time, the emperor probably placed too much hope on this rumored character, and when he heard about it, he was very sad and furious. For ten days in a row, the sky in the front and rear palaces was gloomy and gloomy.Two Beijing officials made a mistake and bumped into Emperor Hui's hands, and the emperor's dead hands rolled off the official hats on their heads.

However, the little prince himself is completely ignorant of these ups and downs.The child was wrapped in a yellow robe, his hair was thin and soft, tied into a small bun, and he was wearing bright white boots. It looked like he hadn't walked here by himself.When his small face was turned up, his big eyes were clean and bright, and he was born with innocence and affection. The appearance of staring at others seriously is really cute and cute.

No matter which era, the children of the powerful and the lower class will always mature earlier.The former can be exposed to the power structure and superiority and inferiority from an early age, while the latter has to face the sorrow of livelihood and poverty since childhood.

But Corning is different from his brothers and sisters.He still can't really understand the status of the royal family, can't understand what his father means, can't understand why his brothers and sisters are so close to him, can't understand that his identity and power can actually make him treat his maids, eunuchs, and even What to do in front of the teaching.

He was raised by the emperor and the imperial concubine in an environment where everyone loves him and everything is gentle and peaceful. He has never even seen the imperial concubine ordering someone to be killed with a deadpan expression—Wang Taiyi is the scariest person he can think of , Meng Yushi in the dream was the most vicious character he had ever heard of.Therefore, when he sees all living beings, he has a naive and pampered dependence. He treats all living beings only if they are distant or close;

Liu Jiaoxi didn't see this feeling when he saw his own children - he didn't even know that his voice was so gentle when he read the children's Mongolian books, which attracted the attention of other people in Zhibozhai.

But Corning himself didn't react to it—school was more boring than he thought it would be.Frankly speaking, the little prince's self-control, concentration and even comprehension ability are not as much as his brothers and sisters. In Xiaofu's family, he can be regarded as a relatively clever child, but compared with other members of the royal family—— In addition to being an emperor, his father, Emperor Liang Hui, was famous for being good at poetry, calligraphy and painting when he was young. Together, Yan Lai wrote a short but well-known "Thirteen Theories of North and South".

Because he had a long period of rebellion in his youth, the emperor was very tolerant of many things, and he was different from many patriarchal fathers when educating his children.Emperor Liang Hui was rarely absent during the growth of his children, and he supported the children's different hobbies.And his brothers and sisters have all inherited the superior talent from their father very well, especially His Royal Highness the First Prince who is no longer studying at Zhibozhai, and it is enough to let him out to take the exam.

But everyone knows that people's lives are born different.Kang Ning neither needs to be well-versed in books nor to be able to establish a country with martial arts. The only thing he is expected to do is to grow up healthy-the emperor can't wait for the whole world to celebrate.

Sure enough, before the little prince gave up because he was uncomfortable sitting, the emperor, who would get the news after the next court, hurried over.

With a wave of his hand to avoid prostration from the teacher, the emperor picked up his youngest son and called his two daughters to surround him.He was like all the big leaders who got off work. When he saw his beloved children, he immediately felt that the air was fresh and his mood was at ease, and he immediately changed his mean face towards his subordinates.

"Why does Kang Ning suddenly want to go to school? Miss your brother and sister?" The emperor asked his youngest son strangely.

"I don't think about it at all." When Kang Ning saw the second sister, he thought of her smiling face. He didn't think about them, but: "I don't mean anything in Yongchun Palace, and my concubine doesn't allow me to go out to play, nor... And I want to read."

"Little brother really wants to recognize characters!" The second princess interjected hahaha, "He learned a character yesterday, and he can recognize Meng Yushi. Isn't that right, Kang Ning?"

"Meng Yushi?" Emperor Liang Hui thought for a moment that he also had such a humble official in his court, Meng Hongli.As a speech officer, he did nothing in supervising and admonishing. He became the next fifth-rank Zhongcheng of the Yushi doctor by catering to others. During the past two years, he was very close to the Li family who had been in the limelight for the past two years. , I think it is a good marriage between the two surnames.

However, Emperor Liang Hui was not a very strict emperor. He knew that there were many officials in the court who had no ability or good character like Meng Yushi.As the supreme ruler of the dynasty, he will always set aside some not too important seats for such people to fill. These people are mostly attached to several factions. The human head with the right to speak and the cannon fodder in the front are still the human shields they raised for the emperor to harvest, suppress, and warn from time to time.

If the emperor and high-ranking officials and dignitaries are compared to a couple, when the couple fights, they usually use a little maid like Meng Yushi to operate, which can serve as a warning, but will not hurt the muscles and bones, and cause the two parties to quarrel. To the point of "divorce".However, the imperial power in the Liang Dynasty was relatively concentrated, that is, the emperor’s husband’s family was powerful, and the courtiers’ natal family was weak. The emperors of the Liang Dynasty also tried to balance among the courtiers. Beat your wife".

Meng Yushi is such a person, and he hasn't noticed the little tea-serving eunuch that Emperor Hui likes recently.At first, he thought that his son and daughter were talking about someone else—such a person couldn't compete with his precious son.

"It's because Kang Ning heard the story from the story. I guess it was strange to hear it, and I dreamed it in my dream. It said that there was a young lady in Meng Yushi's family, who was left by his wife who passed away. Because Meng Yushi It's going to be a continuation, and I'm sad and scared." The eldest princess explained to her father.

She already has the appearance of a big girl, clean and bright, wearing a blue dress, with a gentle and lovely temperament, "The third younger brother heard it next to him and said, there is such a Meng Yushi in my father's dynasty, It just so happened that the original wife had gone and was going to be married to the Li family. After this match, Kang Ning believed it, saying that the Meng Yushi in the court was the one in his story, and called Miss Meng pitiful."

Kang Ning knew that they took his words as a joke, so he didn't bother to get angry. He just listened to the big sister's words as a breeze, and rolled on his father's body to pull the small button on the dragon robe.

The emperor listened with a smile, but didn't take it seriously at first, and nodded to the third prince, "Heng Yan has always been careless about business, but he knows more about these side stories than anyone else. He even talked nonsense to tease your brother. Where did Meng Hongli get his first wife, he is a little censor Zhongcheng, he is not a good match to marry Li Wenlun's second sister, isn't it his first marriage?"

The emperor knew very well about his courtiers and the party and government factions, but he really didn't know much about the backyard of small officials.However, this matter has actually been gossip in the capital for a while. After all, Li Wenlun is really the favorite of the emperor in recent years. is still more eye-catching.

The emperor knew that the two families were going to get married because he cared about his favorite minister's family - when he valued his ministers, he took care of all aspects of the family.Before Kang Ning was born, there was a joke that said that an underappreciated literati wrote poems to his family's geese and lamented that it was because of his lack of ability as the master that his family's geese could not get the emperor's favor.Probably because Emperor Liang Hui loved a painter very much in the Royal Academy of Painting in his early years. The painter was a good cat, so the emperor specially ordered Neizaofu to carve a very light, crisp and delicate glass cage ball as a reward for the cat as a toy.After this poem lamenting about the goose was spread, Emperor Hui was narrow-minded enough. He really sent the reward to the literati's goose all the way, and replied with a poem, saying that although Qing is incompetent, the goose He Gu, let it also bathe in my grace.

Having said that, although this marriage had been registered in front of the emperor, he only looked at it from the perspective of the woman.Although the favored minister's sister was married twice, he subconsciously felt that Meng Hongli, a petty official, would be a bit high-flying even in his first marriage. He never thought that this was actually the result of his wife's death.

The third prince was speechless, that Second Miss Li is not only a good brother, but she herself has a pretty reputation in the capital, which is not quite the same as ordinary ladies.Therefore, there are still quite a few pairs of eyes on this marriage in the capital.

"Meng Yushi is a widow." Li Hengyan explained, "It's just that his original partner is also quite mysterious. It seems that his background is not obvious, and he hasn't been out to socialize much. I don't even know if he has left a son and a half daughter. A five The censor of Pinpin, the fence should not be so tight, right? Presumably, the Li family was willing to marry the second lady to him because of a not-so-famous marriage in their hometown, and they probably had no children."

"That's not it." Kang Ning retorted softly.But if it wasn't, he didn't bother to bother - when he went to school and finished reading all the stories in that book, he would naturally be able to get a clear picture of the ins and outs.When the time comes, he will take Bitao, Cuihai and Xiaofuzi Xiaowangzi to Meng's house by himself, and help Miss Meng to uphold justice:

"Father!" The father told the third brother about the gossip about Li Wenlun and the Li family. Kang Ning neither understood nor cared about it, "Father, I'm hungry!"

The sky and the earth are big, and the youngest son has the biggest meal.The children of Zhibozhai were then taken to Qinghe Hall by Emperor Hui to have a meal.However, seeing that his sons and daughters were already talking about other topics lively, the somewhat superstitious Emperor Liang Hui still couldn't erase the feeling that something was wrong in his mind.

"Go and find out," the emperor frowned and ordered the envoy in black, "Who is Meng Hongli's original spouse, and whether there is really an eldest daughter left by his original spouse in his family."
