After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

The trade-offs between emperors have always been incomprehensible to outsiders, especially in a chaotic country like Dachu.There are foreign relatives leading the army at the border, and there are aristocratic clans in the border. No matter which prince will succeed in the future, it may be difficult to manage the current situation.

Soon after year after year, Qin Xuechuan lived comfortably in Fengdu for the past two years. His body has improved a lot in recent years. Staying in the East Palace, there are people who take good care of him, but it's not a big problem.

After Qin Xuechuan felt that his body was much better, he became keen on exercising, but he couldn't make any flowers after exercising. This body has been ill for so many years.Archery and horseback riding are fine, but if it's like running... I'm afraid it's not.

In this way, it is better to go to the square gymnastics.

On March [-]rd of this year, on the Shangsi Festival, Qin Xuechuan was ordered by the emperor to go out of the city to the Queen Mother's Palace to worship the gods, although the process was a bit tiring.Fortunately, he can still cope with it. Over the years, he has also worked hard to learn etiquette and understand the official system in various places in Chu State, but there are some corruptions in the court, let alone other places.

The state of Chu was surrounded by several other countries. There were many mountains and rivers in the state, especially the Bi'a River that ran through the country and abroad. Envoys always went out by water.However, it is inconvenient to transport grain by water, and the ancient shipbuilding technology is not very developed, so the grain is often spoiled when transported by water.

There are only five official roads in the territory of Great Chu, and these five official roads are all near Fengdu.The more remote places are, the smaller the official roads are, and in recent years, countless corrupt officials have embezzled money for cultivating Taoism. However, many roads have been washed away by rain and rolling stones, and no one has repaired them yet.

Originally, the people in the Ministry of Officials were in charge of these matters. After they uploaded the situation of various places to the emperor, the emperor also issued corresponding orders and asked the treasury to allocate money to various places.

It's a pity... As the saying goes, Qingzhi county has a hundred thousand snowflakes in three years, but there are so many corrupt officials today, but no one has dealt with them.In the end, it was because of the lack of guardianship of the censor, maybe the censor was also bribed by various states and counties.

Seeing the current situation in Dachu, Qin Xuechuan really had to worry about Dachu's future.Fortunately, there is no problem with Dachu's military strength, and foreign enemies cannot easily invade.

Qin Xuechuan can now probably understand why Xiao Rong had to force the palace to rebel. A fatuous and incompetent emperor like this will sooner or later end the Great Chu.Once the Great Chu is destroyed, the countries around the Great Chu will definitely encroach on the territory of the Great Chu. At that time, the people of the Chu State will definitely suffer untold hardships, and people everywhere will live in desperation.

Rather than doing this, it is better to come to a local to rebel, so that at least the people of Dachu can be saved.

In fact... Xiao Rong doesn't look like a traitor, maybe he is a good general who loves the people like a son.

But in this strategy book, the Xiao family is destined to become rebellious officials and thieves.Qin Xuechuan has changed so much, so can he change the already corrupt Chu, can he change the fate of the Xiao clan?

After Qin Xuechuan worshiped the gods, he was escorted back by the imperial guards.He was wearing some black phoenix robes and sat on the stepper, and beside him were Li Ying and Yun Fei.

Just when he was about to enter the city, there were suddenly more people on both sides of the road.Most of the women standing beside them were young women, and their giggling and laughing voices reached Qin Xuechuan's ears.

The imperial guards blocked all the onlookers along the way.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan suddenly felt that something soft had hit him, and he was startled suddenly: Who is it, could it be an assassin?

Just when he turned his head, he suddenly heard a woman's laughter.

"Oh, His Royal Highness is really handsome, not inferior to the Nanling King back then."

"Although His Royal Highness is a little weaker, he is good-looking. If he is selected next year, he can become His Royal Highness's concubine."

"Why would His Royal Highness fall in love with someone like you?"

"That doesn't mean they will fall in love with you, a person like you. A person like His Royal Highness, who is a banished fairy, must take the number one beauty in Dachu, right?"

"A group of vulgar women, what's the use of being good-looking? I heard that His Royal Highness has both ability and political integrity, and is best at musical instruments. I heard that there is a long-lost phoenix flute and konghou in his palace. If His Royal Highness marries the Crown Princess , then you must marry a woman who is both talented and beautiful!"

Qin Xuechuan couldn't help frowning when he heard so many people whispering in his ears, and hearing the princess and the like.

He just came back to his senses and felt that something had hit him again before he stepped on it. The thing seemed to still smell of citrus.He looked down and saw that it was indeed a citrus.

At this time, the women with bamboo baskets on the side of the road threw all kinds of flowers and fruits on Qin Xuechuan's walking chariot.

Qin Xuechuan was shocked at this moment, why are these people so presumptuous and no one came out to escort them?

This is the first time for Qin Xuechuan to go out to the Queen Mother's Palace to worship the gods after finishing his studies. In the past, Qin Luochuan used to go on such errands instead.So when he returned to the city today, he was really dazed and at a loss.

But at this moment, many guards surrounded them, and then blocked those people on both sides of the road.

Even so, there were still some people with strong hands who threw the flowers onto Qin Xuechuan's steps in one go.

Some of these words are true and some are false. The most expensive ones are silk flowers inlaid with gold threads.The most common ones are camellia, peony and so on.There are also some messy fruits... Seeing this posture, Qin Xuechuan almost thought that he was about to be sent to the execution ground.

Pei Xing hurried to Qin Xuechuan's side at this moment, and he followed the accompanying team forward.

When he saw Qin Xuechuan's panicked expression, he couldn't help laughing: "Is His Royal Highness that scared? When you encountered a poisonous snake that day, you weren't like today?"

Qin Xuechuan suddenly lowered his voice, and looked over at him: "What the hell are these people doing, and the palace guards are not caring?"

Pei Xing saw that it was the first time for him to come out from the Shangsi Festival, so he smiled: "His Royal Highness, do you know when the Shangsi Festival is on March [-]rd?"

Qin Xuechuan frowned when he heard him ask such a question: "Sir, don't you know what you are asking? Naturally, it is the Queen Mother's birthday. If not, why would my palace release the emperor's order to go out of the city to worship the gods today?"

Pei Xing smiled again: "Your Highness really has no idea of ​​marrying the Crown Princess!"

When Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, his face suddenly turned red.

What princess?And what does the princess have to do with March [-]rd?

"March 20rd is Girl's Day again. According to the customs of our Dachu, when a handsome man of the right age goes out, the daughter's house will prepare the flowers she likes, or throw the new fruit to the man. The last time I saw this kind of The scene was more than 20 years ago, but it seems that there were not as many people there as there are today, which is enough to show that His Highness is the person in many girls' dreams." Pei Xing said with a smile.

After Qin Xuechuan heard what he said, his eyes suddenly widened... Oh, by the way, he remembered, it seems that there is such a custom.

"I heard that in the past few years, when His Highness the Fifth Highness was traveling, there were also many women who came, but at that time His Highness was still too young to be a concubine, so naturally he was not as popular as His Highness."

After Qin Xuechuan heard Pei Xing's explanation, he coughed quickly: "Okay, stop talking."

"And let these people who are walking forward walk faster, I don't want to be lying on the bed again by these fruits."

Pei Xing laughed again when he heard this: "Your Highness... This is also our Da Chu's custom. Your Majesty asked you to come out to worship the gods today, which probably means the same thing. Your Highness is almost in his twenties now, so it's time to choose one." A prudent person has become the crown princess, after all, this is to comfort the courtiers in advance..."

Qin Xuechuan suddenly couldn't take it anymore when he heard these words in his ear, and he quickly said: "Okay, I feel a little unwell now, let them go quickly."

Seeing this, Pei Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, I'll do it now."

When Qin Xuechuan returned to the East Palace, someone smashed the flowers all the way. Fortunately, they were just flowers... If it was something else, his small body would definitely not be able to bear it.

Answering Donggong, he ordered someone to dust off the petals on his body one by one, and then went to take a bath and change clothes.

Just when he took off his heavy gown, someone outside hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the prince has written again."

After Qin Xuechuan heard it, he put on a black robe and walked to the door. He frowned slightly: "When did it get delivered?"

The workers outside were holding the envelope in both hands, but they never dared to look up at him: "Yes...it's time for His Highness to go out of the city to worship the gods."

After Qin Xuechuan heard it, he took the letter in his hand, and then waved his hand again: "You all stand down, I just come by myself."

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, all the maids guarding Wenchi retreated.Qin Xuechuan always didn't like other people watching when he was taking a bath. When his health was not good before, he didn't even care about himself and didn't think about these things.

But now he is much better, at least he is not as sick and confused as before, so the palace people around him have also dismissed a lot, there are not so many people dangling in front of his eyes, and he has relaxed a lot.

Qin Xuechuan took off his outer robe and inner garment and slowly walked into the warm pool.The temperature of the water in the pool was just right, and there were some body-replenishing medicines soaked in the pool water. These medicines were mixed by Pei Xing for him.

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan lay down on the edge of Wenchi and opened the envelope, which wrote: Seeing the letter is like face to face, if the guess is correct, it must be March [-]rd when this letter was delivered to His Highness the Crown Prince.Is Your Highness interested in choosing a minister to be the crown prince?

Xiao Yu just wrote these few words to him, and at this moment Qin Xuechuan touched the envelope, there seemed to be something else in the envelope?

Qin Xuechuan quickly took out the thing, and what surprised him was that there was a small plum blossom branch in the envelope.

Qin Xuechuan smiled when he saw it.

This man is really...

But now it's March, where did he find these plum blossoms?
