Liu Juan knew that the young prince was not that easy to take care of, but he had many stories. He could tell Jin Yong's books one by one for several months.
At first, only the young prince and a few girls listened. Later, a person from the prince's palace also came to listen.
Liu Juan spent half a month just like this. He went back to see Xiao Shuihua, talked about the situation in Kyoto, and gave some words of comfort. At this time, the ministers and the national master Hu Zhen selected Ruotian.
The son sat on the throne of the emperor.
Since summer is approaching, the weather in the capital will naturally become warmer at night. In addition, the capital is the center of Aolai Country, so even at night, the streets are still very lively.
Hu Lin is now in great power. Although he has been living in the palace, he is Hu Zhen's younger brother and the general of the Royal Forest Army. He controls thousands of troops and horses of the Royal Forest Army. Naturally, he has a big house in the city, but now
The people living in this house are his nephew Hu Lin and his godson Hu Shu.
Hu Lin was ordinary, and with Hu Zhen's protection, he could only spend a day and night. Although Hu Zhen scolded him, he still didn't listen and stayed in the flower house all day long. Hu Zhen was a Taoist, so he naturally had no heirs, and the whole Hu Zhen
There was only one single seedling in the family, so Hu Lin couldn't bear to punish him, so he had to let him go, but only sent more people to protect him.
The origin of Hu Shu is more mysterious. Three years ago, Hu Lin suddenly brought him back during a patrol, claimed that he was his adopted son, and granted him the title of Ten Thousand Households. At first, some people in the imperial army were not convinced because he was young after all.
He was responsible for ten thousand households without any merit. Of course, because Hu Zhen was in power, no one directly opposed him, but there were naturally a lot of gossips below.
However, Hu Zhen changed his normal behavior and surprisingly did not interfere with these messages, and Hu Shu did not disappoint Hu Zhen. When he served as General Wanhu of the Royal Forest Army, he used his own sharp methods to rectify the Royal Forest Army and quickly established his own
The prestige and the ferociousness of his methods even frightened the people in the Imperial Guard. Coupled with the depth of his scheming, many people in the Imperial Guard were worried. Under such circumstances, naturally no one dared to make irresponsible remarks, and Hu Shu
Naturally, he sat firmly in the position of Ten Thousand Households.
It is said that people should not be judged by their appearance. Hu Shu is young and looks very talented. He is often dressed in white and wears a folding fan. People who don't know his details have no idea that such a handsome and handsome young man is actually Wan Hu of the Royal Forest Army.
, can play with and applaud the lives of most people in the capital. Compared with Hu Lin, many people are more afraid of Hu Shu, because Hu Lin is ambitious and everyone knows it. However, due to his great power, the current emperor
He is also a six-year-old child who has great trust in Hu Lin and no one dares to object. But Hu Shu is like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass. No one knows when he will bite someone.
The inner guards and imperial guards are both state agencies of the Aolai Kingdom. This capital city is at the foot of the emperor, so they naturally keep a close eye on them. Which family in this city has died, which family has married a daughter, and whether the husband is a local or a foreigner.
, whether they are tall, short, fat or thin are all within the scope of their investigation, not to mention the prince's family in Aolai Kingdom. On the surface, they dare not do anything to the second prince, but secretly, there is still an investigation. And these two
The matter of the prince choosing a teacher for the young prince is not a trivial matter, and it is naturally within the scope of their investigation. What's more, this person is also an internal guard. Therefore, only two hours after this incident, detailed information was
It was sent to Hu Shu. The information included what happened in the palace and Liu Juan's journey, as well as the final unscrupulous decision, etc. It was very detailed, even the period when Liu Juan and Er Ke met on the road.
Didn't let it go either.
It was getting dark, and a dim light came on in Hushu's room. In front of the desk, Hushu was looking at the information sent to him by the light. The more he looked at it, the more confused he became, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.
It got worse and worse. After a while, he put the letter on the desk and stood up. He had just put his hands behind his back and was about to walk away. Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and at the same time, someone said: "Master, Master
Call you over, he will be waiting for you in the study!"
The master is naturally referring to Hu Lin. Sometimes he will leave the palace and live here for a few days. After all, no one in the palace dares to criticize his behavior.
Hu Shu was stunned for a moment, then immediately put away his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell the master that I will be there soon!"
The servant agreed in a low voice and went back to resume his duties.
Hu Shu, on the other hand, looked back at the information on the desk. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the pages and carefully put them into his arms. Then he opened the door and said in a deep voice: "Go to the master's study."
!”
Immediately at the door, two guards raised lanterns to lead the way, while Hu Shu followed behind. In his mind, he also began to guess Hu Lin's intention of calling him there. After all, it was already getting late.
It stands to reason that Hu Lin should also rest.
Hu Shu's room was not very far from Hu Lin's study. It only took a few steps to get there. The guard who led the way stood at the door with a lantern and waited. Hu Shu stood at the door for a while before knocking on the door.
, in his heart, he still didn't understand Hu Lin's intention of calling him.
"Come in!"
As soon as Hu Shu knocked on the door, Hu Lin's voice came from inside.
Hu Shu immediately said respectfully: "Yes! Foster father!" Then he opened the door and went in. After entering the house, he closed the door smoothly.
In the study, Hu Lin was resting with his eyes squinted. The faint light shining on his face made him look very peaceful. His slightly fat figure made people who didn't know better think that he was a kind old man. They would guess that he was a kind old man.
Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him turned out to be Hu Lin, a high-ranking official who controlled the government.
Seeing Hu approaching, Hu Shu immediately knelt on the ground with one knee and said respectfully: "My son, meet your adoptive father!"
Hu Lin, who had half-closed eyes, opened his eyes and said calmly: "Get up!"
"yes!"
Although Hu Lin was Hu Shu's adoptive father, in Hu Shu's heart, he had more respect and respect for Hu Lin. He did not dare to lose this courtesy and stood up after thanking him.
After Hu Shu got up, Hu Lin asked: "You must be aware of all the things that happened in the Second Prince's Mansion today, right?"
Hu Shu immediately said: "Father, I already know."
Hu Shu is not surprised at all why Hu Lin knew about that matter. After all, he is the biggest leader of the Royal Forest Army.
Hu Lin nodded and said, "Then what do you think?"
There was a trace of doubt on Hu Shu's face. He hesitated for a while and then said: "This is also what the child is confused about. I wonder why the second prince would find a royal guard to be a teacher for the young prince with great fanfare, and also beat him in the yard.
One incident, everyone in the prince's palace knew about it!"
Hu Lin chuckled and said: "I know your doubts. Let's not think about why the second prince did this. Now I want to ask you, who is that Er Yi?"
"Er Yi?"
Hu Shu thought for a while and said: "He is an Orion. He was framed during the selection of soldiers and was made to work as a cook. Finally, he was selected into the inner guard when he was selecting people. I was with Hu Jie some time ago.
There was a conflict in the teahouse. When I fought with my men last time, I was spotted by the second prince and was asked to be a guard. Today I was selected to be the teacher of the young prince."
Hu Lin nodded and said: "It seems that this person is just an upstart, a small person, and can't make any waves. It's enough to call people's attention, but not too much. After all, he is now
The prince's face must still be given to the people of the second prince! I called you here today to ask you to do something else."
Hu Shu held a heavy fist in his hand, and noticed that they were all big officials in the officialdom, and he was on good terms with Ruo Er. Even if Liu Juan was powerful, he could only be a small hundred households, so naturally he could not threaten him, so for Liu Juan
He didn't want to put in more energy.
Hu Shu more or less understood what he meant. He nodded and asked, "I wonder if the adoptive father has anything else that he needs to do?"
Hu Lin looked at Hu's book and said, "It's your marriage!"
"marriage?"
Hu Shu was stunned and wondered: "Why did the adoptive father suddenly mention the child's marriage?"
Hu Lin sighed and said: "You are not young anymore, and it is time to marry. I looked at the daughters of the current ministers in the court, and I think the most suitable one for you is the third princess, the late emperor's sister Ruoyue!"
"
"Ruoyue, why is it her? Foster father, I——."
"Why, you don't want to."
"I, I,..." Hu Shu didn't know what to say, but a woman like that...
Hu Lin nodded and said: "There is no need to explain the meaning of being a father. You should understand. In short, if you take this princess back home, then you will be the consort. It will be good for both you and the father."
, and this princess is as beautiful as a fairy. She is worthy of you!"
This is obviously a means of Hu Lin. First, he can use this to bribe Hu Shu and make him more obedient to him. Second, because the second prince is too close to Wuliang. Once Ruo Er steps down, with the support of the second prince,
This unscrupulous person is likely to be the future commander of the internal defense. Leaving a disobedient commander in the court makes Hu Lin a little worried. However, once Hu Shu marries Ruoyue, he will be the consort, and it will be fine.
Transfer Hu Shu over, so that the inner guards and imperial guards will be yours.
