Yan Shiyue locked up the seventh prince like this for three days. The seventh prince was not a good reader in the first place. He almost tore up the manuscripts and couldn't write anything.
On the fourth day, Huo Qiyang came.
When the seventh prince looked at Huo Qiyang, he shrank back in fear.
But Huo Qiyang's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed respectfully: "Huo Qiyang, a humble minister, has met His Majesty the Seventh Highness."
This psychological contrast was a bit big, and the seventh prince couldn't help but be stunned.
It was not that he had never been greeted by others before. However, at this moment, seeing Huo Qiyang, who was wearing official robes, receiving the gift with a respectful and natural attitude, he suddenly felt a very strange feeling in his heart.
He couldn't explain what this feeling was. He could only instinctively say: "Huo... Mr. Huo, no courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Huo Qiyang bowed his head and said, "A few days ago, I was in a hurry to obey my authority and overstepped my bounds with my words. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
The seventh prince shook his head anxiously and said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter." He hurried over and helped him with his own hands: "Get up quickly."
"Yes," Huo Qiyang stood up, straightened his clothes, and said: "The humble minister will tell His Majesty the Seventh Prince about what happened that day, 'Jun, Jun, minister, father, son, son.
.'"
Then Huo Qiyang talked to him for more than an hour.
Huo Qiyang had extremely solid knowledge. He quoted from other sources, explained the profound things in simple terms, talked about the book, and then talked about things from the book... Finally he said: "Then please invite His Highness Seventh Prince to write an article on this topic!"
A long time ago, there was a joke on the Internet that the national football team could let prisoners serving life sentences play football and release them if they were kicked out. Then they would be able to qualify soon.
Although it is a joke, in a certain sense, there is some truth. Under the huge pressure, the seventh prince is really like a sponge, crazily replenishing knowledge.
Huo Qiyang came over every day to explain to him and comment on his articles. Many of them were based on local materials from the prince's articles back then. Therefore, the seventh prince had a real and deep understanding of how outstanding his imperial brother was.
.
Good writing, good writing, knowledgeable and sensible.
When the prince was seven or eight years old, he was much better than him. How ignorant was he to think that the prince was worthless?
The seventh prince has a good heart, so after he realized this, he was really ashamed.
Moreover, true teaching comes from words and examples.
Huo Qiyang's respectful and respectful attitude told him subtly all the time that he was a member of the royal family, and that the imperial power was supreme and could not be provoked!
Because of this, by extension, he truly understood what a great death he committed that day.
But neither Yan Shiyue nor Huo Qiyang said a word about the eighth prince to him.
But even if he didn't say it, the Seventh Prince slowly picked up some flavors on his own after such teachings.
When he couldn't help but ask Huo Qiyang, Huo Qiyang only said: "I don't dare to speak ill of the prince."
He asked Yan Shiyue again, and Yan Shiyue gave him a slap on the head and said, "Think for yourself!" But after she finished speaking, she added one more sentence, "When you look at a person, don't look at what he says, look at him.
do what!"
The seventh prince felt the kindness of her extra words and smiled silly at her.
To be honest, this kid is actually not annoying.
Yan Shiyue smiled and touched his head, and said patiently: "You can't guess what some people are thinking, so the best way is not to guess, and to clearly distinguish what is the right way.
It is safest to keep walking if you are disturbed."
After the morning court the next day, the seventh prince greeted Emperor Ming Yan and the crown prince, and bowed respectfully.
There were many courtiers who came with them. They all stopped and looked at each other.
Counting a month, the Seventh Prince looked at his red lips and white teeth. It was obvious that he had not received any training, but his whole person seemed to be completely reborn... Especially since these were old fritters who had been around the court for a long time, it was even more clear.
sense this.
The seventh prince said: "Father, my son wants to apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded.
The seventh prince saluted the prince: "Your Highness! My brother's words were disrespectful, please forgive me."
The prince said with a smile: "Qi Lang, there is no need to be polite."
"Your Highness, I am so ashamed!" The Seventh Prince said with tears: "These days, I have been reading articles written by Your Highness before he was eight years old. I tried my best and wrote several articles, but none of them can compare to what Your Highness wrote back then.
Words, none of them can compare to His Highness’s article from that time.”
He choked up: "My brother, before, I just thought it was my fault because I was tired. I thought that if I give it time and practice hard, it might not be impossible... But it wasn't until Master Xiao Huo came over to explain to me that I realized that,
The value of Your Highness does not lie in words or writing, but in virtue..."
It was not difficult for him to choke up his words: "His Highness's wisdom and kindness are reflected in every word. His Highness was eight years old and already had this knowledge. My brother is twelve years old this year. Don't talk about learning. I can't even see it... My brother,
My brother..." He cried loudly: "My brother is ashamed to be a descendant of the Yan family, my father is ashamed to be his father, and his highness is ashamed..."
The prince hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up with both hands: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no greater good. Okay, okay, stop crying."
The seventh prince threw himself on him, hugged his neck, and cried loudly: "Your Highness, brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me!"
Fools also have their own wisdom, and the revelation of true feelings in the end can be said to be a stroke of genius.
Emperor Ming Yan's eyes were slightly red, and his face showed relief.
They are all his sons, and it is undoubtedly the best outcome to see him come to his senses and become harmonious as brothers.
At this time, Gu Jiuxing also took over the article that had been placed in the hands of the seventh prince. It was an article written about the events of that day. The handwriting was not very good, but it was written with sincerity.
Apparently the seventh prince originally wanted to show this article to the prince, but he started crying while talking and forgot about it.
But this seemed extra sincere. Several courtiers circulated it and said: The seventh prince really wants to understand this time...
But I couldn't help but admire it in my heart. It's not difficult to teach "action", but it's hard to correct your thinking. But Yan Shiyue actually did it, and the most ingenious thing is that she used the prince's articles to teach him. In this way,
Come, let the prince's face be completely restored.
Very complete, everyone is happy.
Prince Ke stood not far away and watched. It was not until the scene was over that he quietly left the palace.
Then he asked Yan Shiyue: "Xiao Qi really repented? Isn't it just a show?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Yes."
She really taught him the same way as her son: "I said, his heart is not bad and his mind is simple, so if he understands it, he will be ashamed and wake up. On the other hand, it is precisely because he is such a person
Human, that’s why I would meddle in such a nosy matter, and that’s why I would spend time teaching him.”
Prince Ke was silent for a long time: "Then tell me, do many people seem to be doing bad things, but they actually have good intentions?"
"Not necessarily." Yan Shiyue was merciless and gave him a bowl of poisonous chicken soup: "Some people are just selfish and bad, and they want to give people a high-sounding reason to do bad things... There are many such people.
