Emperor Liu suddenly came to the Wenhua Palace in a sudden mood, and all the princes, lecturers, and readers were caught off guard. Even the bachelor Zhang Zhao, who was basically in the stage of retirement, put down his tea cup and came to see him dangling on crutches.
With Zhang Zhao's expression of honor and tears of gratitude, Emperor Liu personally helped him to the teacher's table, then took his seat, turned his attention to the princes, and said with a smile that he was only here to inspect their studies.
In addition to the older princes, those who study in Wenhua Palace also have some children of clans and ministers. This is also a special praise and recognition given to the nobles who are close to the country. Whoever's family has a prominent position will be more favored by the emperor.
His Majesty favors him. You will know if his family has any heirs of the right age to study in the palace.
Among the princes, since the elder brothers had left the palace to open palaces and serve the country, those who were still studying in the palace were led by the seventh prince Liu Hui.
However, compared to his elder brothers, Lao Qi's prestige among the brothers is obviously not enough. After all, the age difference is not big, and as he grows older, Liu Hui shows some unsociable personality.
The seventh prince Liu Hui was born to the concubine Zhou Ehuang. He has just turned fourteen years old, but he has shown extraordinary talents since he was a child. He is not as modest as the eldest brother, as calm as the second child, as smart as the third child, and as heroic as the fourth child.
, the freedom of Lao Wu, the seriousness of Lao Liu, Liu Hui also has his own distinctive character, with confidence and pride.
Probably due to the talent passed down from his mother, Liu Hui showed talent in literature since he was a child. He was able to write poems at the age of seven. According to the words of many great Han writers and wordsmiths, this son is very spiritual. Although it is not a compliment, Liu Hui
Among the emperor's many sons, only Liu Hui received this evaluation.
Up to now, Liu Hui has not only shown talent in poetry, but also in music, calligraphy, painting, chess, and anything related to literature. He has received praise for this, and the teachers of Wenhua Hall,
He was full of praise for him, and Zhang Zhao's favorite was also the seventh prince with outstanding literary talent.
Talent often brings arrogance. After all, he is a young man with an unstable temperament. If he receives a lot of praise, he will inevitably become more arrogant in dealing with others. When he is outstanding, he will naturally appear to be unsociable. The other brothers are also of a competitive age, so
I'm not used to Liu Hui anymore.
Especially the Ninth Prince Liu Shu was dissatisfied with Liu Hui. He felt that he was artificial and easy to express. As the son of Concubine Fu Hui, his status was naturally higher than that of his other brothers. On the outside, there was the towering tree of the Fu family, and on the inside, there were
Of course, Xiao Fu's doting was dissatisfied with Liu Hui's dazzling scenery.
You know, because of Xiao Fu Chong's squeamishness, Liu Shu was often reprimanded and punished by Emperor Liu, while he always looked kind and smiling to Liu Hui. This contrast made Liu Hui even more unhappy.
Therefore, in the Wenhua Palace, the two brothers Liu Hui and Liu Shu were the most difficult to deal with. Liu Shu despised Liu Hui, and Liu Hui naturally despised Liu Shu. He felt that he was a dandy at best, with neither
Both talented and indolent, the two of them often bickered on weekdays. In the past, when Liu Yun, the fifth child, had not yet opened the government, he could mediate and mediate with his outstanding communication skills, but now the two are increasingly disgusted with each other.
Already.
Emperor Liu had naturally heard about the conflict between his two sons, but he did not interfere forcefully. After all, it was just youthful jealousy. Moreover, Emperor Liu never thought that so many of his sons could really be mutually supportive.
There is complete harmony among them, and there is no fight or discord within the royal family.
"Not bad! Very good! This poem is well written, better than me!" Now, Emperor Liu praised Liu Hui again in front of everyone, holding a piece of paper in his hand and shaking it, with an article on it.
A neat and beautiful fu written by Liu Hui recently - "Ode to the Eastern Expedition".
Emperor Liu's words not only praised Liu Hui, but also flattered his own face. He had no poetry or poetry, and it was difficult to even appreciate it, but it did not prevent him from appreciating and encouraging him.
In front of Emperor Liu, Liu Hui was still very humble. When he heard Emperor Liu's praise, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and he cupped his hands and said: "The former is discussing the Northern Expedition both inside and outside. I think I can't ride a horse with a Wu hook in my hand."
On the battlefield, we can only express our respect for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition by expressing our feelings in Ci Fu!"
"Very good! You have this understanding, and you have not read this book in vain!" Emperor Liu nodded and said with a smile: "Unlike some people who set high standards just because they have some talent and can write some poems and songs.
In the poems, I criticize the imperial court and question whether I am so happy about my achievements and want to go to war, and I also pretend to be worried about the country and the people. This hypocritical attitude is disgusting! I really think that I really don’t understand poetry, I can’t understand their subtext, and I can’t understand their words.
Unintentional?
Perhaps those people should be put at the border and sent to the front of the battle. Then they will know that they can leisurely and elegantly write about the flourishing flowers in the capital, which were all made by the Han soldiers with swords and swords and bloody battles.
....”
Listening to Emperor Liu's unabashed contemptuous remarks, everyone present could not help but lower their heads. In the past, Emperor Liu rarely said some words that could easily cause controversy and shake people's hearts. Even if he did, it would be with some people who were close to him personally.
People say. Nowadays, people have less and less scruples. People and things that don't suit their eyes or ears are directly criticized.
Liu Hui smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted. Naturally, some people with shallow knowledge cannot understand the holy will!"
"How else could he be my son?" Emperor Liu raised the "Ode to the Eastern Expedition" in his hand and said, "Those talkative people just don't understand my aspirations and intentions as well as you!"
"Hmph..." On the side, Liu Shu couldn't help but snorted softly when he saw Liu Hui's behavior in front of Emperor Liu. In his eyes, Liu Hui was pretending to be favored again.
Emperor Liu was so smart. When he saw this, he looked at him with a straight expression: "Liu Shu!"
"Here!" Upon hearing Emperor Liu's call, Liu Shu immediately became serious, and his body tensed up, as if he remembered the whipping and the cold wind blowing on the Western Patrol Road, which made him walk in vain.
"What do you think of this Fu written by your seventh brother?" Emperor Liu asked leisurely.
I really wanted to say it was average, but I noticed the playful look in Emperor Liu's eyes, and he said in a loud voice against his will: "You have already said it, how can I say it is not good?"
Seeing the boy's unconvinced expression, Emperor Liu smiled calmly: "If you can also write a piece, no, you don't need to write a poem, just make a poem, I will grant you a wish!"
"Seriously?" Liu Shu regained his energy and asked subconsciously. However, he noticed the look in Emperor Liu's eyes and smiled, "You are not joking. How could Emperor Liu tell lies?"
His eyes wandered shrewdly, Liu Shu raised his head and said, "Give me a day, and I will definitely write a poem for you!"
"Okay! I'm waiting to read it!" Emperor Liu laughed.
Hearing what he said, Liu Hui couldn't help but twitch his horn slightly, with a little ridicule, and it would take a day to compose a poem, so he should ask someone for help...
That is to say, Liu Shu didn't notice Liu Hui's expression, otherwise the two brothers would probably start fighting again.
"You have written such a poem. It should be spread out and shown to outsiders! I am very happy and should reward you!" Emperor Liu looked at Liu Hui again and said: "In this case, you go to my study and pick two things.
!”
After hearing this, Liu Hui immediately thanked him and was also very happy, not because of the amount of the reward, but because of the reward itself, which represented Emperor Liu's favor.
"Liu Yan! How are your studies?" Emperor Liu finally focused on Bazi.
Among all the sons, the one with the least personality is the eighth prince Liu Ai, born to Concubine Zhe Xian. He has been like this since he was a child, and he looks very mediocre. He is not taciturn on weekdays, but he has no sense of presence.
Therefore, when faced with Emperor Liu's question, he was timid for a while and finally replied: "My son's studies are naturally not as good as those of seventh brother and ninth brother..."
Seeing his performance, Emperor Liu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. He could not force his sons to behave like dragons.
As for the remaining tenth son Liu Zhao (born by Empress Fu), the eleventh son Liu Xiao (born by Concubine Zhe), and the twelfth son Liu Han (born by Concubine Ning), Emperor Liu showed concern as usual, especially the eleventh son Liu
Xiao, after a trip to the west, my body has not fully recovered.
