Hidden in the court

It is said that Xihe, Tu and his son went to the East Palace together.

"Now that you're back, I'll go and accompany your mother."

After saying this, Xihe Tu turned around and was about to leave.

"Forget it, forget it." Xihe Longyao called out to him.

Xihe Tu turned his head and laughed, "No, no! I'll go."

After saying that, he hurried away.

"Brother, brother!"

After Xihe Tu left, a small figure rushed out.

"Young Prince, slow down! Your Highness..." The maid behind was sweating profusely and chasing after him.

"Xinyu, slow down."

The little guy jumped into his second brother's arms, "Wow, it's so heavy."

Xihe Huchen slowly put her down, and the little guy looked at Xihe Longyao, "Brother, when you were not around, the second brother often said bad things about you. He told me the day before yesterday that you found a sister-in-law for us, is that true?"

Xihe Huchen felt bad instantly. He still remembered that the last time these words were spoken, Xihe Huchen looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. Xihe Longyao did not answer but smiled at the little guy.

The last time I laughed like that, several people died.

At this time, Xihe Longyao took his younger sister's hand and introduced an old man who was accompanying them.

"This is Wu Yong, Master Wu. He is the teacher your second brother found for you. He said you like playing too much. From now on, you will have three hours of lessons every day. Come, meet the teacher."

Xihe Huchen groaned inwardly, "What kind of language art is this?"

As soon as I turned my head, I was met with my sister's sad gaze.

I could only whistle, clasp my hands behind my back, and walk away like a penguin.

"Student, I have met the teacher."

Although he was a little reluctant, the little guy still greeted politely.

"Teacher Wu, please live in the palace from now on. Don't worry, your family will be fine."

"My lord, thank you, His Highness the Crown Prince."

……

After finally entering the door, he saw the young eunuch standing next to the desk, and then looked at the pile of memorials on the desk that was taller than a person.

I’m afraid it wasn’t accumulated from a month ago.

I could only sit down and slowly review the memorials.

"The wolf problem in grassland pastoral areas is serious, and the herders have suffered heavy losses?"

This was the first report that Xihe and Long Yao saw. It was understandable. After all, in the current weather, the wolves had no food, so they chose to take risks and attack the ranch.

The question is how such a problem would appear on the emperor's desk.

Are the local governors and other officials too idle? Doesn't this problem happen every year, and isn't the solution well known to everyone?

Don't you have money? Even if you came to ask for money, you didn't even mention the grant?

If this first report made Xihe and Longyao feel doubtful, then the next military report would be a bit shocking.

"Pick out all the unsigned memorials. Also, go and call the Second Prince."

Xihe Longyao gave instructions to several young eunuchs.

"Yes."

……

After a while, Xihe Huchen appeared in the room.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

Xihe Longyao picked up the military report and asked, "Did you write this yourself?"

"Yeah, I wrote it."

"Did you lose one of your soldiers?" Xihe Longyao asked, staring into his eyes.

What he met was the clear gaze of Xihe Huchen.

"Yeah, it's lost."

He intensified his questioning tone and asked, "Lost at the foot of Tianshan Mountain?"

"Ah, at the foot of Tianshan Mountain."

"Suspected of an attack?" Xihe and Longyao's questioning voices were a little stiff.

"Yeah, we were attacked"

Looking at his chubby younger brother in front of him, Xihe Longyao's mouth twitched wildly.

"How much of this did you and the old man make up?"

"What, what are you talking about? Why are we making this up when we have nothing to do?"

"Okay, okay, let me ask you, if you lost a soldier and you don't go find him, what are you going to report to your superiors?"

"This……"

"Your direct army and defense zone are all in Chang'an. How did you lose your people to the foot of Tianshan Mountain?"

"Ah this..."

"Finally, tell me who attacked your people at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, the prairie wolves? " Xihe Longyao asked with gritted teeth.

Xihe Huchen finally felt something was wrong.

"Well, I'm going to go see if my soldiers have eaten."

Unfortunately, he was stopped before he could take a step.

"Wait, starting today, you will study with Master Wu for one hour every day."

"No, no! I'm still a general. Have you ever seen a general reading with a child?"

Xihe Huchen became anxious at once.

"Really not going?"

"Whoever wants to go can go, I'm not going!"

"Okay, then let me ask you, after you destroyed the Wu family, what was the voice in the court?"

Xihe Huchen thought to himself, wasn't it you who destroyed it? How can this be my business? But he put his thoughts aside and answered honestly.

"I'm afraid you should be scared. The Wu family fell just after you came back. They have something to hide. This group of people just make too much money too easily, and their bones are loose."

Xihe Huchen did not comment and continued to guide him patiently.

"So what do you think the people are still lacking?"

Xihe Huchen pondered for a moment, "It's not missing anymore..."
