As for Sheng'er, after all, he doesn't need to learn these government affairs things. After all, he won't be able to use them after learning them.
Moreover, he is dull in nature and cannot learn anything as expected. In addition, his time is short, so let him take it easy.
When things came to this point, Emperor Qingming rarely showed some tolerance and kindness when there was no hindrance to him.
After the prince exited the imperial study and returned to the East Palace, his expression gradually changed.
What do the words that the father and the newly appointed Zhongshu Sheren said... mean?
Father thinks that General Xu is too old to lead troops in war anymore?
But he had clearly seen General Xu not long ago. The general was in good health and had excellent energy. His palms like palms were clenched into fists. He even felt that he could kill a cow in one go. This made him really admire and envy him. He didn't see him at all.
The feeling of a hero's twilight...
What's more, didn't General Xu just win a beautiful battle last year?
Or, the so-called "old age" is just an excuse for my father...
I don't know what he thought of, but the boy's eyes changed again and again.
He has not been exposed to many political affairs, and his perspective on things is not necessarily unique. But since the Queen's birthday party last year, when faced with his father's words and deeds, he can't help but have more thoughts.
Thinking and guessing...
Even though he was originally the worst at concealing his emotions, he has now learned how to act in front of his father and has mastered the essence relatively skillfully.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"
Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pacing back and forth, the little eunuch beside him asked curiously.
The prince thought for a while and said: "I... I had a dream when I was sleeping in the imperial study today..."
The little eunuch said "Ah...".
His Highness is sleeping in the imperial study? Are you still dreaming?
Could the imperial study be a place to sleep?
The young eunuch looked at His Highness with some worry, but he was the one who started the conversation, so he could only ask: "Then what dream did Your Highness have?"
"I dreamed that... the Queen's blessing was lost!" The prince said, "No, I have to tell the Queen. If the cat really disappears, the Queen will be sad..."
The little eunuch became even more worried when he heard this.
His Highness is so unserious that even in his dreams, there is nothing serious to say.
Seeing that the boy was already walking out, the little eunuch hurriedly followed him.
When the prince arrived at Jade Kun Palace, the queen was reading a book on the couch in the inner hall. The big fat tabby cat on her lap was purring evenly as she slept. The queen even turned the pages very lightly.
As for my legs, they were sore and numb for a long time, but I still didn't dare to move them.
At this time, I heard the palace maid come in to report that the prince was here, so she put down the book in her hand, straightened her appearance, and said: "Please come in, your highness."
When the prince came in, he saw the queen sitting there. The tabby cat on her lap seemed to have just woken up and was yawning and stretching.
"Isn't it time for Your Highness to go to the Imperial Study Room to accompany His Majesty on the Board of Directors today?" the Queen asked with a smile.
"I went, but my father asked me to come back early."
The prince took the tea cup handed by the palace maid, held it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "My son, I came here because I want to remind you of something important, it is about the blessing of heaven, but the secret of heaven cannot be leaked, and it should not be exposed to too many people.
Know..."
The Queen was a little surprised when she heard this.
…What’s this feeling about a fortune teller suddenly coming to your door to extort money?
But seeing the boy's serious attitude, the queen cooperated and dismissed several palace attendants, leaving only Aunt Jiang.
"Your Highness can now talk about it - is there any problem with my Tianfu?"
Unexpectedly, the boy's face turned red, and he said in a somewhat shameful tone: "Go back to your Majesty, Tianfu is very good. It was because I wanted to ask your Majesty for help, so I lied about Tianfu..."
The tabby cat on the side gave a "meow", and ran out with a leisurely attitude of "Oh, that's okay", wagging its tail.
"Oh? But what difficulties did you encounter?" the queen asked softly.
But what difficulties do you need her help with?
And you still want to cover up people’s eyes like this——
Could it be that the emperor no longer behaves as a human being?
Thinking of the boy's irresistible acting skills, the queen couldn't help but sigh in her heart - look what the dog emperor has forced the child to do...
"I wonder if your Majesty, do you have pen and paper here?" The prince asked with a complicated expression without answering.
"There is paper and pen." The Queen looked at him and her tone was still gentle: "But Your Highness needs to tell me first what is the use of this paper and pen."
Now that she has found her place, she still needs to find out more about it.
The prince hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "My son wants to send a letter to the Duke of Zhenguo... I want to ask the empress for help."
Ever since he was pushed into the trap by the eunuch whom he had trusted since childhood, he could no longer trust anyone in the East Palace.
"Why do you suddenly want to send a letter to Duke Zhenguo?" The queen lowered her voice and asked seriously: "Did you hear something in the imperial study?"
Their eyes met for a moment, and the prince clenched his fingers.
After a moment, he nodded lightly.
After retelling the conversation he heard today, the boy said in a somewhat uncomfortable tone: "I don't understand many things, but I still feel that... I should talk to General Xu."
General Xu is the person he respects the most, and Miss Xu is the person who saved his life and knows his biggest secret.
The queen nodded slightly.
It's time to say something...
In this conversation, what is involved is not really as simple as "borrowing troops"...
Although this is almost a dead end for the Xu family, telling him in advance will allow General Xu to make some general preparations.
But having said that, one emperor is enough for everyone, so why is there now another Zhongshusheren who has the same affinity as the emperor?
"But...why did Your Highness choose to tell me about this matter?" the queen looked at the boy and asked.
Facing an inhumane emperor, she even had reason to suspect that the child was sent by the emperor to test her...
"I couldn't think of anyone else who could help me. I thought of my empress, so I came over immediately..."
It is strange to say that although the Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, in her heart, she is always different from the others in the palace.
Sometimes he even felt that the empress should not belong to this palace.
To be disrespectful, he still feels that his father is not worthy of his empress...
If my father hadn't been the current emperor, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to touch the corner of his empress' clothes.
Over the past year or so, he seemed to have slowly begun to understand why the heads of the big families no longer looked down on the royal family at all.
But at this point, the boy who calmed down gradually realized that there was something wrong with his trip——
