Chapter 127： Be a man

In the palace, the alchemy palace room has been repaired, and once the cast pill furnace is transported in, Mao Daochang will be able to refine the alchemy.

The emperor trusted Mao Daochang more and more, and had to get along with Mao Daochang for a period of time every day. Mao Daochang assisted the emperor with the technique of guiding, accompanied the emperor to practice vomiting, and explained the inner alchemy to the emperor. In fact, this is the Taoist method of qigong: "This technique uses the human body as the pill furnace, so it is called'inner alchemy'. It is different from the use of a cauldron as a furnace for "outer alchemy". Inner alchemy started before the Warring States period. Fengtian people combined the same way of one day and people correspondingly. It absorbs external qi, nourishes internal qi, harmonizes yin and yang, opens meridians, refines qi, and refines Qi transforms the gods, refines the gods and returns to the emptiness... The ultimate goal is to become immortal and achieve immortality."

When the emperor was young, he had little interest in this kind of metaphysics, but maybe he was older, and now he hears these things with great relish, and feels that every word carries the power that makes people fascinated.

But in view of the emperor's indulgence for decades, he suddenly took a few deep breaths or stretched his muscles. At most, the discomfort was slightly relieved, but he was not refreshed. In order to strengthen the effect, Mao Daochang gave the emperor some longevity pills he had made in the past. Taoist medicinal pills contain many minerals, which have the effect of regulating vitality. After taking it, the emperor felt much more energetic, and his hands and feet were cold. The emperor praised Mao Dao's growth even more, and rewarded him for the view of Xiaoyun outside the city.

When Mao Daochang was favored by the emperor, the number of people who came close to him suddenly increased. Senior officials and ministers all came to ask him to do it. For a while, Mao Daochang's reputation was greatly shocked. Not only in the capital, but also from other provinces, they learned through the official residence newspaper that the emperor had recently favored a real person who was able to do it, and he was recommended to the emperor by the prince.

The prince who took the lead was not proud of it. He treated the emperor more respectfully and was not very close to Mao Dao Chang. He never went to Mao Dao Chang to taste tea like other people. This made the emperor very happy. If the prince and Mao Daochang got closer, he would doubt the prince's intentions.

Many people feel sorry for the three princes: in the past few years, there have been droughts, and the three princes only relied on the original advice of "storing grain", which made people look different. Even though the prince controlled most of the most important official positions, the support of the three princes by the people and Qingliu became stronger and stronger, and the two had their own strengths up and down, and they were almost evenly matched. But the prince introduced a Taoist priest and was loved by the emperor. He immediately shifted the emperor's focus to himself, setting off the three princes without any filial piety.

In the third prince’s mansion, on the martial arts field, the third prince was pulling a hard bow with sweat, and shot an arrow. He squinted to see where the arrow fell, turned to the side of the weapon rack, hung the bow, and took off his fingers. , Said to Young Master Ye who was sitting on the side: "Okay, okay, I asked you to wait for a while, you see, your brows are frowning, you can almost catch a fly!"

Shen Zhuo smiled and said to the third prince: "You are really hit by a hundred shots now."

The third prince snorted with his nose: "What is the use of shooting like this and riding on the horse. I can still look at the people over there so I can stand and let me shoot. I thought it was good before, but now I feel more and more that I am incapable. If Bei Rong really fights. , It’s not an exaggeration to say that we all have to die!"

Shen Zhuo knew that this would indeed be the end without his sister leading the preparation, but he just said, "Don't be so ambitious. Now you have already won the support of many people in Chaoyang. If there is a war, you can still greet you. A group of people."

Young Master Ye said with an unpleasant expression: "Don't cheer him up here! You see how the prince's Mao Dao looks for the emperor, so you should know what the emperor is most concerned about right now." He turned his head and said to him. The third prince said: "Why can't you listen to me, take the thousand-year-old ginseng I asked to help you find and give it to the emperor."

The third prince smiled and said: "You don't even blush when you lie! The thousand-year-old ginseng is not in your hands before it becomes refined."

Young Master Ye hated iron and steel and said: "Don't you just say that! Who can tell if it is not a thousand years, let him find a thousand years to compare!"

Shen Zhuo also smiled at Young Master Ye: "You are so reliant!"

Master Ye was angry: "How can you guys laugh so much! As long as he expresses his filial piety, he will be able to make the emperor feel more blue-eyed towards him, and he can compete with him over there."

The third prince said with disdain: "Why do you want to compare with him to flatter like a woman fighting for favor, I don't bother to do the same thing with him."

Grand Master Ye was anxious: "No matter what you put on the emperor, he is your father! Go and show what's wrong, shouldn't you be filial piety"

The third prince twitched his lips: "If he is an ordinary father, it would be fine to him. But he is the emperor, and he is good to him. He thinks I am waiting for him to give me something. His uncle! Look at that. He is about to become a dog, and Tiantian looks like waiting for Emperor Father to throw a bone at him!"

Shen Zhuo laughed loudly again, and Young Master Ye sighed: "Which family is not like this, parents are heaven, children are earth, and filial piety, isn't it also trying to please the parents and get a good reputation. Why do parents raise children if they are unfilial children? What did he do"

The third prince frowned: "Why do I listen to it like doing business?"

Da Young Master Ye got up and patted the three princes on the shoulders and said, "Don't pick and stab here! This is an old rule for thousands of years. The son has to cheat Laozi. They have money, power, land, and house. …Anyway, if you go to offer personal ginseng, there are only benefits and no harm!"

The third prince said irritably: "To be honest, the more you say this, the less I don’t want to give ginseng! You can keep the ginseng, and wait for the birthday celebrations and other days to give it to you. Anyway, I’m not right now. I will give ginseng to compete with that Taoist priest."

Young Master Ye stomped his feet with anger: "How can you be so uncomfortable! You know, if you are a little more accommodating, a little bit! The crown prince has long been yours!"

The third prince rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, da, da, da! I have heard enough! What to get close to the father, what to marry a daughter of Lu family, what to have a child... these are not a little bit! "

Young Master Ye gritted his teeth: "Why isn't it a little bit close to your own father, what's wrong with your own father, shouldn't it be a big man to be married? What's wrong with having children earlier?"

The third prince looked at Shen Zhuo, who was watching the excitement: "You tell him! I have to go take a shower." After speaking, he turned and left.

Da Young Master Ye sighed deeply, and slowly walked to an empty corner in the backyard with Shen Zhuo. Da Young Master Ye whispered to Shen Zhuo, "I know Miss Shen is your sister, but we are both like this now. In a stalemate, someday the prince is a sinister villain who can’t be the king. The three princes are enthusiastic about border defense and are frank. If there is my help, it is far more beneficial to the country than the prince. Can you start from the righteousness of the country and persuade him to go Please please the emperor, follow the emperor’s mind, do not marry your sister, or marry a side concubine, have a child first, then everything will become a success? As a prince, how can he not only embrace himself with the world first? The pride and feelings of "

Shen Zhuo pondered, and whispered: "You don't know that he didn't get close to the emperor because the emperor allowed the first queen to poison his mother. After all, they are fathers and sons, and he can only be so alienated. If you get close to the emperor, Isn’t it just forgetting his mother’s support and tragic death? Is it a trivial matter? He doesn’t marry others because he is interested in my sister. If he changes his mind for the throne, it is out of righteousness, and he should be regarded as a changer. If it is because he wants to. The child, first carry the side concubine, whether this is a person of unknown etiquette where the future wife is located. If he is really unfilial to his mother, unbelief in others, and ignorant of reason, what is the difference between such a person and the prince? Even if he can’t maintain his own morals, he will be another prince sooner or later! He also said what can be considered for the world. Once he is in that position, he must only plan it for himself. I think it is good for him to persist in this way. At least it shows that he has the backbone. , Don’t betray your conscience for the sake of that position. What happens to the prince, the prince must be a man first! If there is a shortage of people, the more talents, the greater the harm. Do you think the prince is not smart, so what?"

Da Young Master Ye shook his head and sighed, "You are all so immature! Good people in this world don't live long. He is so stubborn, and he will be a dead end in the future! You are too young to be successful in your life!"

Shen Zhuo knew in his heart that Young Master Ye was right. If he hadn't grasped the opportunity and developed according to the current situation, the prince would surely win a big victory in the future, and he would have no place to bury him. So he didn't blame Ye Da Young Master for squeezing the three princes to please the emperor to have children earlier, these are indeed the means of survival. It's just that now with Shen Wen's management, there is no need to be so wronged. Moreover, the three princes are so unsophisticated, and they can make the prince take it lightly. Anyway, he does not expect the three princes to bring down the prince. Moreover, the third prince maintained this simplicity. When he became an emperor, he might be less vicious. He was not in a hurry to let the third prince become mature, and said: "I know you are kind, wait, maybe a few minutes later. When he grows up in 1960, he won’t be so stubborn."

Young Master Ye looked at the sky: "It's not too big, he's twenty-one!"

Shen Zhuo smiled: "Three years! Give him another three years. Then, let's see what he does." According to Shen Wen's estimation, Bei Rong will go to war in two and a half years, so don't talk about sophistication at that time. Accommodating, real swords and guns, plus conspiracy. The prince’s opponent was not the third prince, but the younger sister who had returned from the palace of the Hades! Shen Zhuo couldn't tell Young Master Ye. Young Master Ye was very dissatisfied with Shen Zhuo's understatement. He said to Shen Zhuo: "Others say you are both civil and military, so don't take it seriously! Just like you, even ten. It's not as good as a staff member on the Prince's side!"

Shen Zhuo laughed and put his arms around Ye Da Young Master's shoulders and said, "That's a good thing! If I say you are one of the ten staff, will you be proud or sad"

Master Ye said helplessly: "I have to go home and talk to my father about getting along with older people, so as not to become as naive as you!"

Shen Zhuo smiled and sent Master Ye out, and went to find the third prince again. The third prince took a shower, changed into loose clothes, sat cross-legged on a couch comfortably, motioned to the opposite side of the small table in front of him, and said to Shen Zhuo: "You persuade him to go."

Sitting on the other side of the small table on the couch, Shen Zhuo said to the third prince: "He is kind. If the situation is really urgent, we can't do anything about it. You should do what he says to save your life."

The third prince slowly shook his head and said: "No, isn't that the same as surrendering on the battlefield? Life is like this for a lifetime. I just want to live according to my mind."

Shen Zhuo also sighed: "You! Young Master Ye is right, why don't you have the sense of responsibility and self-consciousness as a prince?"

The third prince sneered: "What sense of responsibility or consciously is the desire to be an emperor, let me tell you, that seat is just a seat in a prison. Since ancient times, there are a few useful kings. I dare not say that I can do better than him. , How many teachers have he received, and how many people have served him as advisers. If he hadn't deceived too much and wanted to kill everyone connected with me, I would not fight him. "Not the third prince. He would tell Shen Zhuo that it was his sister’s monk and Miss Shen who were attacked outside the city. When his mother died, he was only fifteen years old. He was still ignorant at that time, but now he has grown up, what about a man? Can make all the women around you suffer

Shen Zhuo comforted: "It's not that bad. If that seat is not good, it's natural that so many people have fought for you to die or die. And we are helping you? There is a problem with other people's character when you become an emperor to the people. Not good." Shen Wen said that the prince became licentious after he became king, and the country was destroyed by Bei Rong.

The third prince said: "Don't say so high-sounding. What he is not good to the people and the country, who can say for sure about these things, maybe he killed me, can concentrate on the affairs of the country? Who can be sure that I will be better than him The emperor received the teachings of his father and the teachings of the three divisions of the calendar. He should have become an emperor. Although I have read two days of books, I am basically a gangster. I can't even write about policy... well, I can't write it. Martial arts is not a little bit smaller than Duke Gu. Fingers, maybe for the sake of the people of the country, I should let him kill me..."

Shen Zhuo was scared and said, "Okay, okay! Don't be so cynical."

The third prince sighed: "So don’t talk about the responsibilities or self-consciousness of being a prince. Whoever is better than others is sure that he can be competent in the world than his brothers. Who dares to say that what he has done can withstand the generations. Don’t think of yourself too high, and describe yourself as someone who bears the people of the world. These are the excuses of those literati, who say ten thousand ways and ten thousand, fighting for position and reserve, is nothing more than brotherhood. What to face."

Shen Zhuo said hurriedly: "But now it's time to go, we can only go to the end." We have to cheer up the third prince at all times!

The third prince was silent for a moment, and said sincerely to Shen Zhuo: "In the next life, we will replace you with a prince. Your brother and I will be brothers..."

Shen Zhuo waved his hand again and again: "Forget it! I'm not a prince, I can't stand this kind of sorrow."

The third prince glared at Shen Zhuo: "You are really not friends enough!"

Shen Zhuo hurriedly smiled and said, "You can come to be a brother, I won't stop you."

The third prince was happy: "You stay with me to eat!"

Shen Zhuo nodded and said: "Well, anyway, our family is a group of women and children, but I have to go back soon after I finish eating." I have to take Shen Qiang to see Father Gu at night, how tired I am! Shen Zhuo secretly pityed himself.

The third prince tentatively asked: "I will send you back"

Shen Zhuo smiled and shook his head: "No, no, then everyone in Beijing will have the opportunity to talk tomorrow."

The third prince pulled the corners of his mouth in frustration and shouted to the outside: "It's served!" The people outside immediately spread the word. The third prince just mentioned policy theory, and the third prince sighed: "I don't know how my fourth brother is now, guarding the imperial tomb, maybe I should let people visit him."

Although Shen Zhuo didn't know that the four princes were not in the imperial tomb, he said, "Forget it! Let people gossiping again."

The third prince shook his head at Shen Zhuo: "Why are you so scared now that you sound older than me."

Shen Zhuo sighed: "I can make a fuss when my eldest brother and second elder brother are there, but as soon as they leave, I will be the pillar of the house. You don't know how much I have to worry about! I feel so heavy." There are also many secret activities.

The third prince said disdainfully: "You still complain about what you have complained about! Your mother is still there, how does your father treat you, how your elder brother treats you, I really don't know the blessing of being in the blessing! Let's change it!"

Shen Zhuo shook his hand hurriedly: "Don't! The meal is here, hurry up and eat!" The meal was on, and the two had dinner.

After the meal, Shen Zhuo said goodbye, and immediately reported to the Yang family after returning home. By the way, he had to take Shen Qiang to his yard-he had to see Father Gu tonight.

When they arrived in Yang's room, there were a lot of people inside. Yang's face was dark, and Shen Xiang beside him looked very upset. The old lady smiled, watching Shen Qiang and Shen Wei, who were squatting on the ground, playing with building blocks. When Shen Qiang set up the building blocks, his saliva flowed down. The old lady hurriedly left the seat with the handkerchief, bent down to wipe Shen Qiang's mouth, and said: "My dear, shut up, your saliva is precious, don't let it flow..."

Shen Zhuo smiled after saluting, "Fourth brother is still drooling and go to my place to sleep tonight!"

Shen Qiang turned his head and yelled at Shen Zhuo and nodded. The old lady said: "The blessed man is like this! You can't laugh at him."

Yang suddenly said to Shen Zhuo: "Don't teach him martial arts!"

Shen Zhuo was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xiang rolled his eyes and said: "Today at the martial arts training ground, the fourth brother took a bow, casually hit an arrow, shot it with one arrow, pierced the Yang with a hundred steps, and hit the farthest target. The martial arts instructor of our mansion was shocked. , Must teach him horseback riding and archery every day. I just told my mother that my mother is not happy."

Shen Zhuo knew that Shen Qiang had been studying with Father Gu for almost a year, and his arm reflexes and accuracy had naturally improved, but when others saw that boys at this age had such accuracy, they would definitely think they were geniuses. Having said that, looking at what Father Gu meant, Shen Qiang was indeed a genius of martial arts. You can remember something only once, and the movements can be accurately walked out, and I didn't learn it so fast.

Yang said angrily: "Your fourth brother is just a dumb! Learn how to ride a horse and shoot arrows to exercise your arms and legs on the martial arts field, just keep your body strong!"

The old lady said: "If he wants to teach Qiang'er, he can teach him, and his skills are not overwhelming."

It's been a long time since Yang had quarreled with the old lady, and today he was particularly tough: "You can't ride a horse! Never learn to ride a horse!"

Shen Zhuo could understand his mother. Perhaps Yang thought that if Shen Qiang didn't learn to ride horses, he wouldn't have to go to the battlefield in the future.

The old lady looked at Shen Qiang and had to say to Shen Xiang: "Qiang'er is seven years old. Wait two more years, lest people can't hold the reins. Just learn to archery or something."

Yang said: "It's best not to learn anything!"

The old lady did not look at Yang, and said to Shen Qiang: "How can you not learn Qiang'er with such a stature, what will you learn, in the future..."

Yang was anxious: "He will stay at home with me in the future!"

Someone snickered, and the old lady snorted, not wanting to pay attention to Yang's unseen words, although Yang's was very serious.

Shen Zhuo felt sorry for his mother, he would take Shen Qiang out tonight, and he certainly didn't learn things to stay with his mother at home in the future.

Shen Zhuo took Shen Qiang to his yard, let Shen Qiang sleep until midnight, then woke him up, and ran into the small yard with him on his back. Shen Qiang was very excited on Shen Zhuo's back, moving around. Shen Zhuo whispered: "Fat black! If you move around, I will throw you on the ground!"

Shen Qiang chuckled and didn't care at all. Still moving back and forth, Shen Zhuo could only secretly sigh that his life was hard. To say that if Shen Qiang has a weakness in martial arts, it is light work. Don't talk about genius, it's just a fool, I can't learn it! A hole can be made by jumping from a chair on the ground. Grandpa Gu gave up a long time ago, saying that this is because of a lack of talent and can't be forced to focus on those fighting martial arts. So Shen Zhuo had to run back and forth with Shen Qiang on his back every time, even though Shen Qiang had obviously grown ten kilograms!

When we got to the place, the light was on in the room. Shen Zhuo entered the door, put down Shen Qiang, and the two of them saluted the sitting father Gu at the same time.

Father Gu accepted their gift, and then asked Shen Qiang to go through what he had learned last time and taught a few new moves. An hour passed, Shen Zhuo pulled Shen Qiang to leave, Gu Gonggong said: "You are here at night, the time is still too short, it is better to live outside the city for a period of time, I can teach him for a long time."

Shen Zhuo promised: "Master, please let me arrange it. It will be two or three months later." This matter has to wait for Shen Wen to come back. He really can't take care of both.

Father Gu nodded and asked casually: "Did you go to see the third prince?"

Shen Zhuo knew that Father Gu had taught the third prince in the past, and he often thought about him, so he often told him about the third prince, and hurriedly replied: "I went to see him today. Oh, he also mentioned you."

Father Gu's eyes focused, and Shen Zhuo recalled: "He said policy theory...ah, martial arts is no better than your little finger."

Grandpa Gu smiled faintly: "He is still going straight." A prince compared himself to the little finger of an eunuch.

Shen Zhuo agreed: "This is also a good place for the three princes."

Father Gu gestured to them, and Shen Zhuo left with Shen Qiang.

Father Gu sat in the room silently for a while, whispering to himself: "Your son will become the emperor."

In Ye Mansion, Young Master Ye didn't think so. He confided in Ye Zhongshu's troubles: "Father, the third prince doesn't want to offer ginseng, and, again, he doesn't want to marry a wife, but only wants to marry Miss Shen. We are so stalemate. For several years, the Mao Daochang recommended by the prince has won the emperor's favor, and I feel anxious."

Ye Zhongshu was silent for a long while with his accustomed gentleness, and said slowly: "You don't have to be so impatient, and the current situation can't be said to be completely unfavorable. Literati Qingliu always feels that these monasticisms are crooked ways, that is, Mao Dao. No matter how spoiled you are, many people will say that he confuses the Lord. Although the third prince is more straightforward, he is better than being sincere and trusting. He does not make these crooked ways, and some people will say that he presides over the right way. Let's just follow this. Meaning, after discussing among the civil servants, the three princes shouldn't fall behind."

Young Master Ye sighed: "Sometimes I don't know what I should do. Today San Young Master Shen analyzed it with me. If the Third Prince listened to my advice, he would be similar to the Prince. If he becomes such a person, follow him. There is danger. But if he doesn't make a strategy, we will be defeated in the future!"

Ye Zhongshu patiently analyzed for his a little anxious eldest son: "Although the prince’s people are now in power, the three princes are behind Zhenbeihou, holding military power, which is also very important. I see the situation in the court, the emperor. I didn’t appreciate the prince’s talents. Not only did my colleagues support the third prince a lot, but even the people in Yan Jing’s family also favored the third prince. The Lu family was also on guard because the prince did not treat the prince concubine well. As long as the prince had no children, The Lu family’s support will be compromised at any time. The favored concubine Xue Guifei in the harem always thinks that she can have children, and will not help the prince at this time. The prince is actually weak, so he is also in a dilemma. If it is not the third prince, it is obvious. If you don't want to be cruel, the prince may not be able to survive until now."

After listening to his old father's words, Ye Da Young Master was relieved a little bit, and whispered to his father: "Father, I'm afraid that the third prince would never want to be ruthless, but the prince has no scruples. Many years ago, that The hunt, the assassination of the three princes, people suspected that he planned it. Anyway, you have to leave a way out, in case the prince gains power, who doesn’t know that there must be no one in our family. Can live."

Ye Zhongshu's well-mannered face rarely showed a trace of ruthlessness: "In this case, he must not be allowed to gain power!"

Young Master Ye was anxious: "It's useless to say ruthless things, Dad, let's prepare a way out!"

Ye Zhongshu waved his hand and said, "The way to go is to find a village in a remote place, and then send a few children away so that they can escape."

Young Master Ye said: "Even so, it's a precaution, dad just do it."

Ye Zhongshu nodded and said, "Okay, I will let your second brother arrange this. You will do more with the third prince. He is a loyal man, and he will become an emperor in the future, so he will certainly not be bad."

Da Young Master Ye agreed: "I have no doubts about his character. I watched him grow up, and Chen Guifei taught him to be polite since he was a child, and detained him very severely. He was uncomfortable, so he went to the Shen family brothers. Sa Huan'er. Those princes from the Hou family in Zhenbei are also from the Wuxinji City Mansion. He did not learn badly. But in this world, good people have never lived long. I am just worried that he will regret that he is too simple in the future, so he should start. Did not start at that time."

Ye Zhongshu whispered to Young Master Ye: "My mentor, Old Master Jian, once whispered to me that he read the strategies and theories made by the three princes, and the writing is like his own, we know that the three princes are very caring people. In this world It’s okay if you’re not clever, not sophisticated, and don’t know how to drill camp. I’m afraid I’m not generous! I hate anyone and hate anyone casually, and I have to investigate the little things that are big and small, and I need to say a few words to make him angry. I remember it for a long time. Against his will, he will kill a piece, in order to prevent the name of a little bit, and do everything to kill. This kind of person must not be the emperor, otherwise not only the courtiers and the people will inevitably suffer from the poison, but the world will be hard to protect. Old Master Jane It is said that the three princes know the essence and key points of reading, and are inclusive of all kinds of thoughts, adopting the strengths of many families without degrading the shortcomings. This kind of lenient and benevolent performance is respected by people, and governing the country and the people can be twice the result with half the effort. Although the third prince later I don’t want to study anymore, but my teacher has never appreciated other people so much. Otherwise, why do most of my fellow students help the third prince. Now who doesn’t know that the prince is a narrow hatred person, if it’s a critical moment, the third prince has It’s dangerous. If he doesn’t have any assistants, it’s fine. But now he has a lot of people involved in the discussion, and there are many officials like you. I’ll leave it to you. At that time, I don’t need the three princes to do anything. I want to keep my family. There are bound to be countless people who attacked the prince for their lives. By then, they only need to instigate a little, and there is no need for the three princes to arrange anything personally for what purpose cannot be achieved."

Da Young Master Ye suddenly said: "Father is really a good idea! Son understands! This is the meaning of winning people's hearts to win the world."

Ye Zhongshu nodded: "Exactly, if there are many people willing to work for you, you don't really need to work hard, as long as you pay attention to treat others well, and they can do their best."

Ye Da Young Master thought, and slowly nodded: "Father, I really understand. Actually, I don't have to try to persuade the third prince to marry a wife and have children. Instead, I should resort to methods and invite all kinds of people to vote for the third prince and treat guests with courtesy. Everyone, at least must make a gesture of accepting all opinions and being a courteous corporal to lay the foundation for him. If the prince really embarrassed him one day, everyone will naturally resist him."

Ye Zhongshu is satisfied: "The third prince likes young people. You are the oldest one by his side. What you do is naturally regarded as the meaning of the third prince. Therefore, you have to treat people with special courtesy. You have been in all walks of life in Beijing for so many years. It’s not difficult at all. If you have time, you can tell people about the three princes’ suggestions to buy food before the famine years. Now the famine has been severe, and those who have stored food after hearing the words of the three princes already owe them. Don’t forget the love of the three princes."

Da Young Master Ye laughed: "Father, you should be an assistant to the third prince!"

Ye Zhongshu snorted: "I am a courtier of the emperor. Where can I be an assistant to a junior prince? This is what you and your brothers should do. In the future, the new emperor will become king, once the emperor and the courtier, this world will be It's yours." He was melancholy in his words.

Young Master Ye felt proud and frightened, and said, "I have to ask my father for more guidance."

Ye Zhongshu nodded and said, "If you have any questions, just come to discuss with me, I will naturally not stand by."

Since then, Da Young Master Ye has greatly increased his confidence. He no longer struggles with the three princes competing with the emperor and dragging their wives away. Instead, he visits the leaders of all parties under the banner of the three princes. He is the third prince everywhere. Enlist talents. When he was not in politics in the past, he was a famous panacea in the capital, and he could be called brothers and sisters with anyone, and he was born with social talent. Now he is the chief aide under the three princes. People think that he represents the three princes. Seeing him as a courteous and virtuous corporal, they all feel that the three princes have the style of celebrities such as the ancient Xinlingjun. In addition, in the discussion of the listing, it was mentioned that the three princes had advocated reserve shortages when they were still a few years ago, which is insightful and extraordinary. Now that food is more expensive than gold, people who heard his words secretly cried out fortunately. Those who listened to the prince's words were deeply unlucky and felt that the prince had brought bad luck.

In the midsummer season, the battle between the two princes in the capital had both gains and losses. The prince may have taken the lead in the palace, but among the people, the three princes gradually gained the upper hand.

--------------------

Zhang Yunming’s leadership is very different from Zhang Yunzheng’s leadership. He doesn’t consider other people’s opinions at all. Since their last show of hands, Zhang Yunming has never given them a chance to make a decision. He only acts according to his own ideas. go back. The people who accompanied Zhang Yunming except Yulan were all under Zhang Yunming, and he naturally listened to him. Zhang Yunming gave orders without hindrance, and proved by practical actions that those with real power do not need to follow the crowd.

Zhang Yunzheng told him about the various dangers encountered during the border crossing, which made Zhang Yunming a warning. When he came, because he came for the coastal areas, he inadvertently avoided the inland areas with severe drought. So he decided to go back and go as far as possible along the coastline. There is relatively more rain along the coast, so there will be no grabbing for water. He was about to be parallel to the imperial mausoleum in the north of the capital before he entered the inland and headed towards the imperial mausoleum. First he sent the four princes back, which made him feel a heavy burden.

Zhang Yunming watched day and night, Zhang Yunzheng, the fourth prince Shen Wen, and Su Wanniang didn't dare to make any changes, and honestly every day. During the day, I was driving in the carriage, and when I came out to eat, I also lowered my eyebrows, and my life was very boring. Sometimes several people can only wink at each other, and there is no intimate action.

But Zhang Yunming once asked Zhang Yunzheng and said: "I think you and that little fat..." Zhang Yunzheng looked over like a knife, and Zhang Yunming changed his mouth and said, "Miss Shen Er, something is wrong."

Zhang Yunzheng asked angrily: "What's wrong!" It's all you! We can’t chat often and ride horses side by side!

Zhang Yunming frowned slightly: "Why don't you quarrel anymore? You used to quarrel up and down."

Zhang Yunzheng said angrily: "Can you control it! What does it matter to you whether we quarrel or not quarrel!"

Zhang Yunming frowned deeply, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you have something wrong..."

Zhang Yunzheng became even more angry: "What is \\\'Is wrong\\\'! Leave my business alone! I want to fight"

Zhang Yunming deeply believes that there is a problem between the two people, but they have planned too many things together, and he also thinks that Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen should be together, otherwise what about Shen Wen's fame, but he is really unwilling! How can his kind brother marry that little fat duck who is full of scheming and extremely dark! The Shen family is really the nemesis of the Zhang family!

He feels unhappy, and he speeds up his daily routine more quickly, and he doesn't let them stop to look at the scenery at all. The weather is getting hot and the food is easy to spoil. The water they eat and drink on the way is often rotten. Shen Wen finally couldn't stand it. At one dinner, he said to Zhang Yunming, "If you eat these things, you will get stomach cancer! You! Can you take us to a bigger city so that we can have a good meal"

The four princes knew that Zhang Yunming did not like him, so they did not dare to speak, so as not to make Zhang Yunming even more bored. Su Wanniang was too embarrassed to eat, it was the disaster year, and it was not easy to have food.

Zhang Yunming pretended to smile and said, "How can Little Brother Wen be so picky, we have to make do with it outside."

Zhang Yunzheng immediately defended Shen Wen: "I also think we should have a meal that doesn't taste strange! In the past, the pancakes we ate were not so terrible!"

Zhang Yunming was depressed, but still didn't want to take them into the city, so he reluctantly said: "We are passing by a larger town, and I will ask someone to buy something new, but none of you should enter the city! Stay outside of the city! Don't give it. I make trouble!"

Hearing that he agreed, everyone was wholeheartedly waiting to improve the food. Sure enough, after a few days, they passed by a large-scale city, Zhang Yunming took a few people into the city to buy things, and Zhang Yunzheng and other people guarded their carts and horses.

As soon as Zhang Yunming left, Zhang Yunzheng and Shen Wen, the Fourth Prince and Su Wanniang finally had a time alone. Although there are other people watching, they are not Zhang Yunming and cannot stop them on the spot.

Zhang Yunzheng immediately signaled Shen Wen and him to go for a walk, so they could chat.
