"In the future, this will be just a joke in the capital, but he will not be taught a lesson, he will not tell when he is young, and he will leave the impression that he is timid and inexperienced in his responsibilities." Liu Shangshu said: "I no longer expect him to make contributions.
, and I don’t want him to have no future at all.”
Liu Shangshu said: "It is best to let him go."
He sighed: "Well, originally I felt that he wouldn't learn much if he studied with me in the palace. I wanted him to go to Suzhou to study for a while, but now I just go to the Western Regions instead."
Mrs. Liu said angrily: "What's the matter with this? His father is on a field trip in Suzhou. When he goes there to practice, he is still taken care of by his family, but when he goes to the Western Regions..."
"Just in time, let him see how he can live without family support outside." Seeing that his wife was still frowning, but not very opposed, he said: "The matter is settled like this, you
Immediately ask someone to pack his things, I will choose a few people to send him to, and I will chase him along the way tomorrow morning."
He stood up and said, "I still have to write a letter to apologize to Your Majesty."
Mrs. Liu was startled, "What?"
Liu Shangshu glanced at her and said, "Don't forget, he is still studying with the prince. It's okay to leave the capital privately, but to go to the Western Regions privately, what kind of crime is this?"
Only then did Madam Liu remember this.
"Fortunately, Bai Shan left a letter. It will be easier for us to deal with it. We just need to make up the note."
The prince is not a child now, nor is he messing around in the past few years, so he does not really need a companion reading.
Since Bai Shan is missing as a companion, I won't mind missing Liu Huan anymore.
Liu Shangshu immediately got up and went to the palace, first to plead guilty to the emperor, and then the prince would act based on the emperor's attitude.
The emperor didn't expect that something like this could happen to the Liu family, so he laughed twice with pleasure. After laughing, he felt that it was not good to do this in front of his ministers, so he quickly stopped talking, only to hold back his face, which turned a little red.
Liu Shangshu pretended not to see him, lowered his head and continued to describe his grandson's sins.
The emperor then comforted him with a smile and said: "Young people all have the desire to make contributions. I heard that he and Yin, Bai Shan and Bai Cheng have always been close friends. When you see a friend going to the Western Regions, it is normal for you to get excited and follow him."
"
The emperor said: "Who has never been young? When I was fourteen years old, I could lead my family to the battlefield, and nothing would happen."
Liu Shangshu said: "How can he compare with your majesty? But your majesty is right. This young man's thoughts are blocked and it is better to be free. This kid wants to run away. I'm afraid I won't be happy if I catch him back. So
I would like to ask His Majesty for your grace to let him go to the Western Regions with you, and let him enjoy the wind and sand, so that he will know that the world outside is not so easy to navigate."
The emperor thought of his sons and sighed: "Yes, they always feel that their family has treated them badly. How can they know the difficulties outside?"
Liu Shangshu said: "Just let them go out and wander around."
The emperor nodded and started to work. The errands there have been difficult recently. He can let the prince go out to be tortured and let him know how good his family is.
Because of the issue of having naughty children at home, the emperor could empathize with Liu Shangshu, so he generously forgave Liu Huan for playing truant, and thoughtfully gave Liu Shangshu a handwritten letter so that he could go and have wine with Kong to ask for leave.
Liu Shangshu left gratefully, and then went to the East Palace to apologize to the prince and ask for leave for Liu Huan.
It was rare for the prince to have free time to play with the little emperor's grandson in the East Palace. Hearing about this matter, he agreed without much fuss.
There were so many companion readers in the Chongwen Hall, and apart from the confidants he had chosen, the only ones he could remember were Bai Shan, Baicheng and Yin You.
He didn't have a deep affection for Liu Huan, so he didn't feel uncomfortable leaving his companion, but he ran away to the Western Regions...
The prince comforted Liu Shangshu, "It would be good to go on a study tour and gain experience."
Liu Shangshu agreed with a moved face, thanked the prince for his magnanimity, and said that if he did not make progress after returning from the Western Regions this time, he would be ashamed of the world, the emperor, the prince, and his parents...
Then Liu Shangshu took advantage of the situation and took a long leave for his grandson and the prince.
The prince readily agreed.
So Liu Shangshu also got the prince's handwriting. He breathed a sigh of relief, then resigned from the palace, and then took the wine jar he took out from home to find Kong Jijiu to drink.
The emperor and the prince didn't feel much about Liu Huan's truancy, but Kong Jijiu was different.
He frowned, glanced at the wine on the table and was about to kick him out. Liu Shangshu grabbed his hand and sighed: "Zhongda, what do you think we should do with this kid? He can't study as well as him.
Forget about my brother, he is almost a crown prince, but he still has the temper of a child and can actually do such a thing as running away from home."
"If he is really a dandy, I won't say anything. I'll just let him work as a guard for the rest of his life. Even if he doesn't live a rich life, he will still have enough to eat and drink, and his connections are not bad, but he is not like Zhao Liu and the others.
When we play together, we like to hang around behind Bai Shanyin or a few others. What do you mean by that?"
Kong Jijiu, who regarded Bai Shan and Yin Hui as his proud students, was not happy, "What's wrong with following Bai Shan and Yin Hui around? It's better than following Zhao Liu and causing trouble, right?"
He said: "Look at Lu and Yue, they are messing around now, what good future can they have in the future?"
Liu Shangshu sighed, "Why don't I know? I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail... Alas, it's too late to say anything now. He went to study in the Western Regions by himself. The Western Regions are so easy to go to?"
"Originally, I thought that after this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I would let him take leave or resign from the palace. Then I would go on a study tour in Suzhou. It would be great if I could suppress his temper. But he didn't listen. Isn't it because
Is Suzhou his father's territory?"
"I think he did a good job," Kong Jijiu praised: "Going to his father's place to study, what's the difference between that and wandering around the capital?"
At this moment, he no longer felt that Liu Huan's truancy was disgusting, and waved his hand in disgust: "Are you here to ask for leave for him? Okay, I understand, you leave the handwriting of His Majesty and His Highness, you can go, I agree
Already."
Liu Shangshu, who still had many words to say, said:...
Kong Jijiu held down the wine jar and said, "Let's go."
Liu Shangshu, who still wanted to continue drinking and chatting with him, tried twice, but found that he could not continue the topic. He could only stand up and leave with regret, leaving the handwriting of the emperor and the prince to him.
Kong Jijiu waited for him to leave and snorted coldly, "Old fox."
When the old fox Liu Shangshu returned home, Mrs. Liu was looking sad while watching people packing things. He saw that there were two cars of things piled up, and there was a tendency of more things to be piled up. He stopped her face-to-face and said, "Just collect some."
