Troubled Times Survival Raiders

After the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, after the seal of the imperial court was over, the first decree issued was that the prince officially leave the cabinet and move to the Wenhua Hall. The prince Taishi Zhou Kuang presided over the Zishan Hall to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, history books, calligraphy, poetry and rhythm, painting count.The king of Chu was a learned man, and he entered the palace to accompany the prince to study.

The second decree was to select ladies from three places near Nandu to teach in the palace due to the emptiness of the harem.

The third decree states that Concubine De has been in the palace for many years, presided over the palace affairs, educated the prince, made outstanding contributions, and was registered as the queen.

These three imperial edicts not only caused great repercussions in the court, but also among the people.The first to bear the brunt are those who have girls of the right age.

Daqi's draft has never paid much attention to family status and character, and many civilians enter the palace every year for canonization.

Due to the southward relocation this time, a large number of high-ranking positions were vacated in Emperor Jianning's harem, and folk women also had a bit of a heart to fly up to the branches and become a phoenix.What's more, Emperor Jianning's heirs are difficult. If a son and a half daughter are born, even if the prince succeeds to the throne, he will still be a noble concubine.

And the first decree, in the hearts of everyone, was undoubtedly aimed at the various rumors about the former emperor's younger brother.The crown prince's position is as stable as gold, and the king of Chu will be out of luck.

For ordinary people, reading with the prince is an excellent opportunity to show their talents to the prince, build a good relationship with the prince, and pave the way for their own future.But for a prince like the King of Chu, his official career development was originally limited.Staying in the palace is certainly no happier than being in your own palace.

To put it bluntly, being trapped by people is considered half-human/hostage.

Wu Muhao, the King of Chu at the center of the controversy, was calm and composed. Just after the Lantern Festival, he entered the palace to pay his respects and was about to study in the Charity Hall.

Wu Junyi had met the King of Chu at the palace banquet, and it was hard to feel bad for such a dazzling but respectful person, but it was inevitable to be wary.After Wu Muhao came out of the Qianqing Palace, he went to the Rouyi Hall to salute and greet him. The etiquette was thoughtful and impeccable.

After all, the king of Chu is an elder, and Wu Junyi didn't dare to take Joe deliberately in front of him. "Uncle Wang is quick-witted. We will be together in the Charity Hall in the future. I will ask Uncle Wang for advice."

"His Royal Highness is very eloquent, and I want to ask for advice." The king of Chu rolled his eyes, and copied his words in reply.

For some reason, Wu Junyi figured out a profound feeling from these words.He frowned and asked coldly: "Is Uncle Wang dissatisfied with the evaluation of the palace banquet? If you have anything to say, you may as well speak up."

"No, I want to say that His Highness's second poem is indeed very well done. It is the minister who lost."

Wu Muhao put the emphasis on the second three characters.Wu Junyi's face turned pale for a moment, and he stared at the other party coldly, but he immediately let go.On Wu Muhao's face was a 15-year-old boy with an extremely sincere smile.

He knew about his father paving the way for him, and he also guessed that the poem was made by himself.

Various thoughts churned in Wu Junyi's mind, some clamored that the King of Chu was a serious problem and must be eliminated quickly, but there were also a small number of them who reminded him.Emperor Jianning announced the king of Chu into the palace to accompany the prince to study. This move was indeed a warning to the king of Chu, but it might not be a test for the prince.

Wu Junyi raised his eyes and looked at Wu Muhao's similar eyebrows and eyes, and bowed slightly, "Then I thank Uncle Wang for his compliment."

The king of Chu is indeed talented and intelligent.However, since it is accompanied by the prince, it is the power of the prince.

Emperor Jianning was resting in Nuan Pavilion, and when he heard the report from the eunuch, he announced the prince to enter the palace.

Emperor Jianning leaned on the cushion and squinted his eyes for a nap, and there was a small stack of memorials on the table next to him. Wu Junyi leaned over to salute Emperor Jianning without squinting. "The child has seen the father."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Jianning rolled his eyelids, saw his son, and waved him to sit down.

Wu Junyi sat down upright, puffed out his chest and replied, "My son came to thank you."

Emperor Jianning finally smiled at his son, "Thank you, you are the prince, and it is a matter of time before you go out to study in the pavilion. After the Wenhua Palace is repaired, you will move there... But the people in your palace should also take this opportunity to change." gone."

Wu Junyi didn't have any objection to the replacement. The palace servants in Rouyi Palace were originally chosen by Emperor Jianning, and he didn't have any confidantes of his own.What he really wanted to say was something else: "I want to ask my father for a favor."

"Oh? What?"

Wu Junyi would say the same thing in the past, but he was not a prince at that time, and most of the time he asked for his father's treasures. Every time, his father would just smile and nod without asking, at most scratching the tip of his nose, or touching Touch his little bald head.I don't know when, the father will not talk to him like this again.

Maybe it was the day when the crown prince was registered.

Just like the former imperial brother and father, they were also polite and full of life.This may be the fate of the emperor and prince.

Wu Junyi's body couldn't help trembling at the thought of being separated from his beloved father since childhood.

"My son wants to take a bath for a day or two every ten days." Wu Junyi replied.The prince studied in the Charity Hall, and his schedule was extremely strict. There was only one day off on the first day, cold food, winter solstice and longevity, and the prince's birthday.

"You just entered school, do you just want to take a rest?" Emperor Jianning looked at his son, slightly displeased.

Wu Junyi sweated for himself, and tried his best to ignore his father's scrutinizing eyes. "My son is fine, but when Uncle Chu went to the palace to study, he and the concubine, Shouhe and the princess all get together less and far away more. My son thinks... All goodness and filial piety come first. It would be unavoidable to block a family reunion just for studying. Not beautiful."

Emperor Jianning closed his eyes again, not knowing what he was thinking.Wu Junyi didn't dare to vent his anger, and quietly watched him with his eyes closed in thought.

Suddenly, Emperor Jianning asked casually, "You are very close to King Chu."

"Uncle Chu is an elder, so my sons and ministers naturally have to respect it." When Wu Junyi answered this sentence, he tried his best to restrain himself so as not to tremble with his voice.

Emperor Jianning finally opened his eyes, and smiled helplessly, "What are you making so many excuses for? Just say that you want to be lazy, can the emperor stop you?" He beckoned Wu Junyi to his side, hugged him and played Forehead, "Grow up, huh?"

Wu Junyi felt a warm current in his heart, nestled in the arms of Emperor Jianning, as if he had returned to the past. "My son will always be a child in front of my father."

As soon as the first month passed, the prince and the king of Chu entered the charity hall to study.

The lecturers in the charity hall are mainly the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and now Zhou Kuang is in charge.Zhou Kuang originally had a dislike for Wu Junyi, and Wu Junyi was also full of opinions about Zhou Kuang.But there was another king of Chu. In comparison, Zhou Kuang's attitude towards Wu Junyi could be called patient and gentle.

Xu is because of the previous rumors, Xu is worried that the king of Chu is really rebelling.In short, during the first two days when they came to the Charity Hall, Zhou Kuang treated the King of Chu as if he treated an ordinary prince accompanying him.Although there was no corporal punishment, reprimands and copying were not missing.

He followed Wu Junyi's progress to talk about "The Biography of the Nei Chen", when he talked about the sound of candle shadows and axes, brothers fighting against the wall, and the fish and meat people, doing all kinds of evil, even Wu Junyi was a little uncomfortable, but Wu Muhao still looked unfazed and respected Zhou Kuang , close and obedient to Wu Junyi.

In the palace, Wu Muhao was also a talented person who was taught by his husband since he was a child. He knew everything about poetry, calligraphy and painting. If he hadn't deliberately restrained himself, Wu Junyi might not be able to show his intelligence in front of him. After all, there is a five-year age difference.Every gentleman likes such a student from the bottom of his heart.

As time went by, Zhou Kuang also restrained himself a lot, and although he was still wary of Wu Muhao, he became more amiable.

Most of the remaining bachelors in the Charity Hall hold important positions in the court.Wu Junyi imitated the behavior of King Chu in front of Zhou Kuang, and behaved politely in front of them, quite like a corporal.

When he met Xu Yaoqing, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, apart from listening to lectures and asking questions, Wu Junyi also asked in a measured manner whether the resettlement of refugees had been implemented.This decree was originally proposed by the crown prince in a letter. After Xu Yaoqing introduced it, he was somewhat pleasantly surprised when he heard Wu Junyi asking relevant questions in a serious manner.

It's one thing to go to the memorial, but it's another thing to always worry about it and think about the follow-up.

Because of this incident, Xu Yaoqing added a filter. When he was teaching, he saw that Wu Junyi's words and deeds were all in accordance with etiquette, and he answered questions fluently, with a respectful attitude, so he felt even happier. When he returned to the ministry, he talked about His Royal Highness with his colleagues. commend.

This can be regarded as Wu Junyi's unintentional act - he is indeed concerned about the refugees, mainly because of Shen Yu.But in order not to let the eunuchs around him decide, since he sent the jade pendant, he never sent anyone to inquire about Shen Yu's situation.It is unnecessary for the prince of a country to leave the palace easily.He wanted to know about Shen Yu's news, so he could only insinuate and fight in a roundabout way.

In addition to Xu Yaoqing, there are many high-ranking officials who at first thought it was inconceivable to hear the praise of the East Palace, and paid special attention to His Royal Highness's words and deeds when they gave lectures in person.Wu Junyi's unintentional act was also endowed with a special meaning by them: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince respects the uncle of the emperor and treats the King of Chu kindly.His Royal Highness the Prince respects Mr., and will personally welcome him to the door every time he teaches.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like servants, and he does everything by himself.

Looking around, it was full of praise, and unconsciously, the reputation of the prince's virtuous virtues gradually spread.

Zhou Kuang first heard the word from the little eunuch around Emperor Jianning that the Charity Hall would be changed to rest for a day every ten days, and he frowned and wanted to fight for it. Wu Junyi had no choice but to admit, "This is what I asked my father alone. grace."

So that day, His Royal Highness's homework doubled.

After school, Wu Junyi walked weakly to Rouyi Hall, and a person behind him quickly caught up with him, it was King Wu Muhao of Chu.Wu Junyi was so listless that he didn't bother to deal with him, and was worried about what to say, but Wu Muhao spoke first:

"I accept your favor, I will help you with today's homework."

When Wu Junyi looked up in surprise, Wu Muhao had already turned and left.

Wu Junyi suddenly realized that this His Royal Highness King of Chu, who caused a storm in the city because of Lihuang Taidi's turmoil, attracted countless notorieties, and was asked to enter the palace as a hostage, was only 14 years old.
