After the salute, the third prince, who was kneeling on the ground, said these two words. Seeing the extremely horrifying expression on the emperor's face, he said frankly: "My son, I have always followed the rules, but this is the first time in my life that I have done something out of the ordinary.
He even coerced Senior Brother Lu to help conceal it, and also persuaded the Queen Mother to take the son out of the palace. The servants did not know the identity of the son the whole time. This feeling is very special."
"Of course, without the help of the Queen Mother, I would not have been able to get out. If sister Yingying had not helped mobilize a team of retinues, my journey would have been risky; if Ah Liu had not prepared the carriage, ointment and bandages in advance,
, I have been riding for a long time, and I probably won’t be able to walk for the next few days... So, after all, I am far different from what my father was back then."
Is this a compliment or a disparagement?
The emperor felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and then he heard Zhang Shou's laughter from behind. Now he finally found an outlet. He immediately turned around and stared at the guy who was laughing hard, with a fierce expression on his face.
He shouted: "Zhang Shou, why are you laughing!"
Zhang Shou, who was snickering, immediately put on a serious face: "Your Majesty, what I'm laughing at is that His Highness the Crown Prince thinks that like father, like son, so he intends to imitate the Emperor's behavior of being humble and close to the people. But the Emperor wants to
The purpose is to let the officials and people all over the world see how wise and eager to learn is the Prince of the East Palace. For this reason, he sometimes even goes so far as to disparage himself. This is truly a deep family relationship."
"Get the hell out of here!"
The emperor couldn't help but uttered a vulgar word, but when he saw Zhang Shou looking confused as if he didn't understand the meaning of the words, he became even more angry: "The good prince has been taught bad things by you!
There is nothing wrong with learning from me. You must learn from my willfulness and impulsiveness. Now those guys who keep an eye on the palace every day can finally find fault!"
"I am not afraid of criticism, and I do not want to be a virtuous prince in the eyes of others." The third prince saw that the emperor and Zhang Shou were glaring at each other, but one was being aggressive and the other was pretending to be confused. He quickly became worried.
He defended loudly, "I know that as long as I tell my father, my father will definitely allow me to visit my fourth brother, but I want to go quietly to give him a surprise!"
The emperor who turned around didn't have time to scold the third prince for his naivety, but he saw the little prince standing up straight away, walked up to him, raised his head and said: "The Queen Mother said that she was busy with government affairs back then, so she neglected my father.
, she failed to say a lot of things early, so it was always difficult for her to have a heart-to-heart relationship with her father."
"After hearing this, I was very scared. I was worried that the relationship with my father would be like this in the future...Father, I had never thought of being this prince before. It was you who asked me to be the prince, and I was willing to be so. So.
I don’t care about the reputation of a virtuous prince at all! Therefore, I can be as wise as others hope, but I can also be as willful as you were!"
"The Empress Dowager said that I am still young, so I might as well be young and frivolous and experience how my father felt back then. I know that she wants my father to be anxious and experience what she said when she heard that my father was wearing a white dragon fish outside.
Feelings, but Erchen..."
"I just hope that in order to win praise and recognition from others, I will not forget what I cherished most in the past! In addition to my mother and concubine, what I cherish most is my father and my fourth brother!"
Having said this, the third prince lowered his head and rubbed his eyes vigorously. When he raised his head again, he saw Zhang Shouzheng giving him a thumbs up with a smile, then waved to him as if to say goodbye, and then tiptoed back out of the palace.
Suddenly, I panicked and shouted quickly: "Of course, there are teachers now!"
Zhang Shou was originally estimating the distance between himself and the main gate of Ciqing Palace, calculating how to sneak away quietly when the emperor was shocked. Who would have thought that the third prince turned out to be such an honest child, and suddenly started shouting like this, and he immediately understood it.
The emperor's sharp gaze.
So, he could only sigh helplessly and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to involve me in matters between father, son and brother. If I were you, I would rush forward, hug the emperor and cry, and say
Why are you talking so much?"
The emperor almost stared out of his eyes. However, what he didn't expect was that the third prince actually followed Zhang Shou's outrageous suggestion! The man just rushed over and hugged him...
Thigh, and then burst into tears. Seeing that Zhang Shou, the culprit, turned around and ran away, he immediately started shouting angrily.
"Zhang Shou, stop! You still dare to run away, who asked you to bewitch the prince like this..."
However, as if Zhang Shou didn't hear it, he dodged and opened the door curtain and went out. When he saw Ah Liu dragging Chen Yongshou standing by the door, the latter's face turned pale, and he was even closer to the door.
In the distance, there was Little Fatty Lu with an innocent look on his face. He waved to Ah Liu and Lu Sanlang respectively: "Okay, the things in the palace are done, let's go back."
Compared to Ah Liu, who immediately let go and came forward, Lu Sanlang had an expression on his face that said, "You're kidding me." The emperor was already shouting with anger inside, why are we leaving like this? We won't anger the emperor.
, order someone to kidnap them back as soon as they leave, right?
But at this moment, the emperor's voice was not heard inside, only the faint sobbing of the third prince was heard. Thinking that he had suddenly heard the most noble father and son in the world confiding their feelings to each other, even if he was as bold as a little fat man, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
And when he saw Zhang Shou and Ah Liu's master and servant actually walking out like this, although he instinctively hurried to follow them, he couldn't help but complain.
"Teacher, you keep saying that I am brave, but your own words are really too modest...especially, what do you mean by 'hug the emperor and cry'...Isn't this too outrageous?"
Zhang Shou didn't speak, just smiled, until he left Donghua Gate leisurely and slowly walked forward under the hesitant eyes of the guards. When he left Dong'an Gate, he saw only his carriage.
He actually stopped there, but there were still twenty or thirty people standing around him. As soon as they saw him, they all gathered around him and called him uncle. He knew that he was from Duke Zhao's mansion.
Obviously, this should be the team that escorted the third prince to Baijia Village in Tongzhou today.
So, without waiting for the chattering little fat man Lu to speak, he directly dragged him into the car. But after he sat firmly, he found that Ah Liu hadn't come up, so he leaned out and called out again: "Ah Liu, get in the car, I'll
I have something to ask you."
After Ah Liu hesitated for a moment and got into the carriage, he told the coachman and everyone outside: "It's getting late, just go back to Zhang Yuan. When the carriage is escorted there, you can just go back to Duke Zhao's Mansion in peace and resume your life."
Hearing what Zhang Shou said, everyone who had been waiting here since Ah Liu walked away suddenly responded. When Zhang Shou returned to the carriage and sat down, Ah Liu couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "I
I already told them to go back."
"With your behavior of not explaining or explaining, but just saying one sentence, do they dare to go back with confidence?" Zhang Shou couldn't help but raised his fingers and tapped Ah Liu's forehead twice, and saw Lu Sanlang from the corner of his eye.
While he was snickering, he put down his hand and said angrily, "Why, aren't you afraid that the emperor will send someone to kidnap us back now?"
"If you didn't stop us just now, then no one will come to kidnap us back." Lu Sanlang sat cross-legged with a playful smile, and then said flatteringly, "I was almost scared to death, but teacher, you have a way, it's easy
You have smoothed over such a difficult matter... But as I just asked, teacher, why do you dare to say that to His Royal Highness?"
"After all, we are father and son, king and minister. We are king first and then father."
Seeing the sincerity on Lu Sanlang's face, Zhang Shou smiled lightly and said, "Have you read Tang Taizong's "Two Degrees of Tie", have you read it, have you read it?"
Lu Sanlang's expression suddenly changed. Although he was not very studious in the past and his handwriting skills were only passable, of course he still knew about the famous "Two Degrees of Tie". After all, he had a Song version of "Chunhua" hidden at home.
"Pavilion Notes", which contains the famous ruler tablets written by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
The dignified Emperor Zhenguan, one of the few sage emperors and wise rulers in the history, could be so disgusting when writing to his son. It is really unbelievable. According to this, the emperor who doted on his three princes and four princes and brothers, if
If the third prince hugs him and cries bitterly, he will probably become soft-hearted...right?
Seeing Lu Sanlang's understanding and then relief, Zhang Shou, who had stayed in Ciqing Palace for most of the day and had to send a message back to let the students temporarily dismiss from get out of class, asked Ah Liu some details of his trip. He waved his hand to indicate that the two brothers didn't need to explain the details of their meeting, and then they leaned back comfortably, and their tense nerves finally relaxed completely.
Although he seemed to be very leisurely when he was in Ciqing Palace, in fact, he was certainly worried. These days, he is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst. If something goes wrong with the third prince, let alone him, Zhu Ying, or even the Queen Mother.
I can’t afford to pay!
Fortunately, he finally came back safely. What he said in front of the emperor was actually quite good. Of course, in terms of effect, it was definitely the simpler, rougher and more effective method he taught...
The etiquette these days insists on whether a gentleman will embrace grandchildren or not sons. As a result, the relationship between ordinary fathers and sons, let alone the royal family, is just like that between leaders and subordinates. This is simply the destruction of human relations and nature.
Since they are father and son, if they have something to say that they cannot talk about properly, then they hold their heads and cry - don't they feel uncomfortable all the time? Lu Wan, an old-fashioned man with a lot of airs, has gradually accepted this, and even more
What's more, the emperor has always been sentimental? Moreover, from what the third prince inadvertently revealed just now, you can tell that in the heart of the young prince, his father and fourth brother have always been the most important.
In this way, the emperor probably would not feel that the empress dowager deliberately instigated the third prince's departure from the palace. Of course, a quarrel between mother and son may still be inevitable... I just hope that Zhu Ying will not meddle in other people's business and let them quarrel.
The stand is also good!
With this in mind, Zhang Shou returned to Zhang Yuan with his eyes closed and rested. After releasing the guards from Zhao Guogong's mansion as promised, he lent the car to Little Fatty Lu to go home. And just after he returned to the study to change his clothes,
Before he could go to the bath at home to relax after a hard day's work, he heard a crisp sound coming from outside.
"Ah Shou is back too? I originally thought I had to go to the palace to pick him up! Ah Liu, you have worked hard today, go and rest early. I owe you a big favor, and I will definitely pay you back in the future... No, I must pay it back.
Just wait and wait!"
Following this sound, Zhang Shou, who was originally reclining on the Luohan bed, saw a beautiful figure enter the room. In addition to bringing in a cold wind, she still had her usual enthusiasm and joy. He sat up straight with support.
As a result, Zhu Ying untied the cloak and threw it to the side. Then she came up and sat down next to him, and picked up the beauty cloak.
"Ah Shou, although the prince said not to tell you in case you were exposed in front of the emperor and you would be angered, I should still tell you. In short, it was my fault today. I will punish you no matter what.
OK!"
Zhang Shou saw Zhu Ying beating his legs with a beauty hammer as if showing courtesy. He couldn't help but laugh. He simply stretched out his hand and took Zhu Ying into his arms. Then he said meaningfully: "I can punish you no matter what. Then I can
You’re welcome!”
Before Zhu Ying had time to speak, she was suddenly shaken, and suddenly broke away from Zhang Shou's arms and jumped up. She took a breath of cold air and ran away from the Arhat bed. When she realized what she had just suffered, she couldn't help but
She glared at Zhang Shou angrily. Even though they were married, the two slaps that Zhang Shou had just landed on her delicate buttocks really made her feel ashamed and angry.
She was just thinking about how to fight back, but Zhang Shou had already pulled off his shoes and said seriously: "Next time something like this happens again, madam, please hide it from me, otherwise I won't be able to chop off as many heads as I have."
!”
"It's not that exaggerated!" Zhu Ying was so angry at Zhang Shou's exaggerated statement, "The emperor is not a fool!"
"Just because he is not a foolish king, that's why he chopped off my head. If he were a foolish king, let alone me and you, the Queen Mother would not be able to please him." Zhang Shou chuckled, and then changed the subject, "The Queen Mother will follow your female school today.
, have you ever really relaxed?"
"Of course it's relaxing! The Queen Mother wrote several words with her own hands today, and also told the students about their childhood reading stories, asking everyone to study hard and learn more skills. Although it is said that the male is the leader outside and the woman is the leader inside, but the world is still the most powerful.
Things are uncertain, and there may be a time when a woman will have to be the master of the family in the future. Not to mention..."
Zhu Ying paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "If a woman is capable, she can be famous all over the world for her poems and songs, and her military skills can help her husband to settle down. She can do anything even in business. She must be self-reliant and self-reliant!"
"
Zhang Shou was not surprised at all that the Queen Mother, who once listened to politics behind the curtain, said such words, but the next few words that Zhu Ying said with a smile made him feel a bit toothache, and even sympathized with the emperor.
"If you can't be independent and self-reliant, if you lose your husband in the future and your son is disobedient, won't you have to cry every day and wash your face with tears? If you have your own hobbies and your own career, then at least you won't be trapped in a city and be bored!
"Speaking of this, even Zhu Ying herself murmured a little. Hasn't the Queen Mother stopped asking about state affairs a long time ago? What else is there for her to do?
