The reborn prince is hard to raise

Mu Hanjiang lay on a tall tree branch, cocked his feet and looked at Gu Mingheng and Xie Yunhong who looked like dots in the distance.He looked relaxed, with the drowsiness of the sun.A bird with bright feathers stopped not far from him, and flew away with flapping wings after a while.For a while, there was only the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves and branches all around.

Here, is a completely different place from Yanyun.

After a long time, he looked back at the dense leaves on the top of the crown, and suddenly exuded a strong wild aura, and for a moment he looked like a beast hidden in the wild grass.

Finally, he slowly closed his eyes, and a wry smile appeared from the corner of his mouth.

Coming from the Mu family of Yanyun, he grew up in the army since he was a child, and he can almost foresee his own future—leading the army in battle, being crowned king and general.Just like my father and countless ancestors of the Mu family, facing the horseshoes and long blades of the enemy country, they swung their knives at each other and stained the battlefield with blood.

Every time he watched the army marching out, the battle flags fierce, and the black armor marching into the distance like a forest, he always imagined that one day, the general flag belonging to him, Mu Hanjiang, would appear on the yellow sand, which would be enough to impress the enemy. The army fled in fear!

He hates palace walls, and what he longs for is to run horses and chase winds and fight enemies in the boundless desolate desert.Han Ren is his most steadfast companion, watching the desert dust all the way.

"A Jiang, to be a general, bravery alone is not enough." He remembered that before leaving Yanyun and entering Beijing, he and his eldest brother were sitting on the ground with their backs against an old tree. His eldest brother's voice was still so calm, with Faintly sharp.

"Shun, don't be overjoyed; rebellious, don't be discouraged; An, don't be extravagant; Danger, don't be frightened; those who have thunder in their chest and face like a flat lake can worship the general. My father and I are waiting for you to come back. At that time , the Yanyun Six States are your world!"

Mu Hanjiang squinted his eyes to look at the sunlight, and suddenly laughed loudly, startling countless birds in the forest.He stood up and looked in the direction where Gu Mingheng was, and quickly got off the tree and walked towards the Hefeng Palace.

Yan Yun, one day, my general flag will stand on your land, piercing the wind!

Father, brother, I think I have found my way.

Gu Mingheng looked at the top three sitting on the table from a distance, "I remember that Leng Zeyan, the champion this time, is the disciple of Mr. Zheng." He looked at the figure sitting in the distance, and said with evaluation.

Xie Yunhong glanced at him, "Compared to this, I am more optimistic about Bai Ziyi, the son of General Bai, who can dance with pen and ink, and handle knives and guns."

The two sat in the corner and looked at everyone in the field, chatting generally.

"With the prestige of Mr. Zheng, Leng Zeyan's future is boundless." Xie Yunhong said with a slight smile, "As Mr. Zheng is the prince and tutor, this Leng Zeyan may have been labeled as the Eastern Palace lineage long ago. "

Leng Zeyan was born as a commoner, and studied under Zheng Ruyuan at the age of seven. He was once praised by Mr. Zheng as "the talent of the sky, the quality of the rough jade".He lost his father when he was young, and his family was poor. There was only one widowed mother in his family. If it wasn't for Mr. Zheng's help, he might not have made it this far.

"It's very rare to find such a tough person." Gu Mingheng looked back at Xie Yunhong and said, "Not everyone like him can persevere and get to where he is today."

However, such a background is the best way to win over.Because what he wanted was exactly what Gu Mingheng could give.Xie Yunhong looked at Gu Mingheng's thoughtful eyes, and suddenly wanted to lament for Leng Zeyan. In this life, success or failure, fame and fame can only be tied to the rope of the East Palace.

Gu Mingheng looked at Leng Zeyan, if he remembered correctly, before his death, this first-ranked man who had been established for 12 years had already become a minister, so young, he really answered the phrase "the talent of heaven".

When Mu Hanjiang found them, he saw the two of them hiding behind a very inconspicuous old pine tree, talking about something.However, Xie Yunhong's calculating and calm appearance made him really have a toothache.

"Why are you hiding here?" Mu Hanjiang sat on the chair and crossed his legs, picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite.Seeing him coming, Xie Yunhong looked him up and down, seeing that he was still clean and tidy, so he relaxed his brows and did not run on him.

Seeing that Xie Yunhong ignored him, Mu Hanjiang looked at Gu Mingheng with doubts in his eyes.

"Amu thinks, among the people present, who is more valuable to win over?" Gu Mingheng asked seriously.He has always felt that Mu Hanjiang is not as carefree as he appears on the surface, born in Mu's family, he is destined not to be a reckless man who only knows how to fight and fight.

If it wasn't for this, it would be impossible for the Mu family to have been operating in the Yanyun six states for so many years and not fail after several generations.

"The three sitting on the table." Mu Hanjiang bit the fruit, raised his hand and pointed at it.

After thinking for a while, he explained, "Most of the people who participated in the Spring Festival did not have the shade of their families, or their lintels had already withered. This meant that they could only drift with the crowd when they entered the government and the opposition. Only in this way can they survive. Among the top three, we are the first The first person is gone, the second person is too upright, it is useless to win over."

As he said, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a different taste, "As for the third one, his family doesn't need to pull him over, he will come over." Seeing Xie Yunhong's puzzled expression, he raised his eyebrows and explained, "Their Bai family can Isn't it like our Mu family, his father is a commoner, relying on military exploits to get to the top, and the foundation is not deep, if he doesn't hold the East Palace, how will he gain a foothold in the future?"

Xie Yunhong looked at Mu Hanjiang who was chewing fruit and talking, his eyes were full of interest, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"Then why did the teacher order us to attend the Qionglin Banquet?" Gu Mingheng smiled slightly, his expression unchanged, as if he was expecting Mu Hanjiang's answer.

"It's not easy? Waiting to be recognized?" Mu Hanjiang threw back the gnawed fruit core, "You asked me even though you knew it?"

Seeing his casual appearance, Gu Mingheng laughed out loud, as expected, there was nothing wrong with him!Just why, in the previous life, he had never heard of the name "Mu Hanjiang"?Did something go wrong?

At this moment, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and the three of them looked and saw a road diverged from the crowd, and Leng Zeyan in a light-colored gown was coming towards this direction.

"Here we come!" Mu Hanjiang smiled triumphantly and whispered.

When Leng Zeyan walked in front of the three of them, he hesitated for a moment.He has never met Xie Yunhong and Gu Mingheng. Before Chunwei, he was studying in the academy. Although he knew the characters in Beijing, he had never met him.

Gu Mingheng didn't make it difficult for him, he stood up and bowed directly, "As disciples of the master, Mingheng should call me elder brother." He didn't show any domineering gesture, he was very gentle and polite, and said with some shame, "The three of Mingheng should have It is impolite to call on senior brother."

Xie Yunhong, who was at the side, saw the situation, and held a folding fan in one hand and clasped his fists.

At this time, many people who followed Leng Zeyan recognized Gu Mingheng and Xie Yunhong, and started talking in low voices.After all, "Nan Xie Bei Gu" is not easy to see nowadays.

Their appearance here is quite different from the last Qushui Liushang Wenhui.Xie Yunhong was already the prince's companion, and Gu Mingheng's visit was obviously on behalf of the East Palace.For Juzi who is about to enter the court, this is already a signal.

Many people in the crowd were already thinking about it, and their moods were different for a while.

Leng Zeyan shook her head, but she was also modest and polite, "You are so polite, junior."

After chatting for a while, Gu Mingheng suddenly asked, "I heard that Brother Zeyan is proficient in chess, can I teach you?" His voice is sweet, and his sincere appearance makes it hard to refuse.

"Don't dare to give advice, it's just to learn from each other." Leng Zeyan didn't understand what Gu Mingheng meant, but he still complied.He has already been crowned, and Gu Mingheng is still a teenager, if he refuses, he may lose the conversation.

Not long after, an attendant from Xunfeng Palace set up the chessboard. At this time, the surrounding area was already full of people, talking quietly.

Leng Zeyan looked at Gu Mingheng who was on the other side of the chessboard with a calm expression, admiring his heart.If I am at his age, I am afraid that I am competitive, right?

The two held hands, and gradually the voices quieted down. After seeing the first few moves, the one who was good at chess frowned, and looked at Gu Mingheng with shocking eyes.

Leng Zeyan holds the sunspots in his hand, but he has not yet settled for one.After a long time, he looked up at the gentle-looking Gu Mingheng, put the chess pieces back, stood up calmly and clasped his fists and said, "I'm really ashamed, I lost."

Hearing him concede, the crowd booed for a while. There are still 21 moves in this game, so why surrender early?And those who saw the doorway could only shake their heads and sigh.For a while, the crowd was noisy and discussed, and someone even took a pen and paper to record the game in detail.

"As long as you think you can solve this chess game, regardless of your background, you can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me, Xie Yunhong. If you break this game, the East Palace will definitely reward you." Xie Yunhong raised his voice at the right time.

After the words fell, Gu Mingheng stood up, stretched out his long sleeves and clasped his fists, "Mingheng respectfully awaits you all." There was a fighting spirit in the gentleness, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Hanyuan hall.

Lu Zezhang took the report from Jiang Yu, opened it and scanned it one by one, his eyes finally fell on the chess record, and said in a deep thought, "Gu Mingheng really said that?" His eyes were full of determination, and he closed the play The newspaper was put aside.The soft sound was very clear in the empty hall.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess really said so." Jiang Yu bowed his body and replied respectfully, "Now this chess record has been widely circulated in Beijing, and the Crown Princess is famous."

What he didn't say was that what followed was the recognition and admiration of more students and even the common people for Prince Donggong.

I just don't know if this is unexpected or the original intention.

"Go down." Lu Zezhang said slowly after listening.A long time after Jiang Yu exited the hall, he opened the report again, and his eyes fell on the three ink characters of "Gu Mingheng", with an unpredictable expression.
