The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1182
The prince glanced at the hall, and he had already sent the other monks to rest in the side room. At this moment, there were only him and the third brother.

He walked up to Wu Wu and sat down, seeing that the other party ignored him, he couldn't help chuckling.

"Third brother, you have really changed your temper. No wonder people often hear that listening to Zen and chanting Buddha can forget the distracting thoughts in your mind. Is this third brother enlightened by Buddhism?"

The prince didn't care about Wu's ignorance. Looking at the sandalwood rising in front of his eyes, he also abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind and closed his eyes slightly.

Hearing the sound of the wooden fish in his ear, the prince actually felt that he was more relaxed than ever before.

The prince remembered every bit of the past 30 years. It seems that he has been calculating since he was sensible, and he dare not relax all the time.

He calculated how to win the favor of the emperor, his brother, courtiers, and sometimes even the queen mother.

In fact, he also thought about being a rich and noble prince who is carefree and carefree, living a free life with a virtuous wife and a filial son.

However, he was born in this royal family, so he had no choice.Especially as the son of Zhonggong, if you don't fight or grab it, you will kill yourself.

If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead.If he was the fourth child, he would not have such wild ambitions, but who told him to be reborn in the middle palace?
"Third brother, my father passed away, and I will inherit the country, but I don't feel any joy in my heart. Why do you think so?"

Wu Wu's hand beating the wooden fish did not stop, and he was still as calm and calm as before.

"The royal family has no family ties, and this palace is unwilling to kill brothers and sisters. I only hope that we can each be safe!"

The prince suddenly opened his eyes, his usually gentle face was already condensed, and there was a deep chill in his eyes looking at Wu Wu.

Wu Wu felt the chill in the opponent's eyes, but he didn't panic.

"Your Highness! The past is like smoke, and now the poor monk is just a monk of Bao'en Temple, with the name of Enlightenment! The fireworks will be empty after they fall, and the past has gone with the wind. Why should your Highness come to try again, the world of mortals is only a few short decades, It's better to cherish each other!"

Wu Wu stopped the action of knocking on the wooden fish with his hand, and looked back at the prince's eyes, which were peaceful, calm and peaceful.

The prince stared at it for a long while, and then he smiled in relief, "Brother is still a man of the world after all, so no third brother can take it lightly. Some obsessions are considered normal. Third brother, the father left his last words before he died. , let me keep you safe for the rest of my life! Father still misses you, otherwise he would not have agreed to my treatment of you back then."

The prince stood up and patted Li Wu's shoulder lightly.

Mo Wu stopped the rotating beads, paused for a while, and did not make a sound.

He looked back at the prince, suddenly stretched out a hand, and shook it towards the hand on the shoulder.

"Ding!" The sound of a sword being unsheathed suddenly sounded in the hall, and a dark guard in black clothes appeared behind the prince, with a serious expression on his face, staring at that hand.

Wu Wu was suffocated, and retracted his hand again, "I remember that His Highness had the demeanor of an elder brother when he was a child, and now he is also tolerant of his brothers. His father made His Highness the crown prince, because he has unique insight, and no one can do it." Picked the wrong one."

The crown prince hastily waved away the hidden guards, he looked at Wu Wu's retracted hand, and recalled the third child when he was a child.

Because the prince could not live with his mother and concubine since he was a child, these princes chose another residence in the palace since they could walk.

When he was a child, the third child was the most clingy person, because the third child was not very courageous since he was a child.When walking is not stable, it is usually led by him.

Looking back at the past, they are also like brothers of ordinary people, brothers and friends respect each other.But when they grow up, they will fight each other and fight each other, and they will only give up if they have to fight to the death.

"Your Highness! Master Gu, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, please see me!" De'an's voice was heard outside the hall, bringing the prince who was immersed in memories back to his mind.

"Third brother recites the scriptures every day. I don't think it's easy. I'd better take care of your health. In the future, I will visit you at Bao'en Temple from time to time. I heard from Rong Jia that your chess skills have improved again. When you have free time, let's have a good time." Let's talk."

Thinking of the tenderness between the two when they were children, the prince's tone could not help but soften a lot.After explaining something, he left the side hall.

Wu Wu watched the Prince's back gradually drifting away, and then picked up the beads and started spinning them again.

It's just that a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he has already become a monk, and he is still suspected by the prince.Didn't the father's last words before his death come to test him?
Rong Jia is right, so what if you hide in the temple?As soon as the crown prince ascends the throne, it will be time for liquidation.

Two years ago, the prince let him go in order to protect his reputation.Just to get rid of his thoughts, let him become a monk.

However, the prince still cares too much about his reputation, so what if he became a monk?It doesn't matter what your background is, let alone your unbearable past, to achieve a great cause.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.As long as you win, the records in the history books are up to you to write.

Not being able to get together with his wife and children, and worrying about being liquidated all the time, life like this is simply worse than death.

Even if Rong Jia didn't come to look for him, he had already made arrangements in secret.It's just that the time has not come yet, and we still need to wait patiently for some time.

"The next official sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! There are some clues about the assassin!"

Gu Chengyu arrived at the East Palace and waited for half an hour before the crown prince arrived late.

"Your Majesty Gu, don't be too polite! Did you catch those assassins? These thieves are so rampant that we simply don't pay attention to our Dayan royal family. If they are allowed to escape, I will feel uneasy!"

Speaking of this assassin, the prince was also worried.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this time I have captured thirteen assassins, and they have already been imprisoned in Dali Temple, waiting for His Highness to send them!"

The prince was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Can you catch the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Gu Chengyu shook his head, "Not yet, these people must have a high status in Daxing, and it will take some time to catch them."

The prince was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but he was relieved in an instant.

It is not easy to catch those assassins. In such a big capital, finding these people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.That is to say, Gu Chengyu was safe and well-planned, otherwise they would really have allowed those assassins to come and go freely.

"You have caught those assassins, and the news has leaked out. It will be difficult to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."

Gu Chengyu laughed softly when he heard the words, "It's not difficult to catch the mastermind behind the scenes. The search in the city will continue. As long as the commander of the imperial guards can guard the city gate, we will come to catch the turtle in a urn. Besides, they received the wind That's good, just come to lure the snake out of the hole."

In fact, there is another way, but Gu Chengyu didn't say it, this strategy is a bit outrageous.As the heir of the country, how could the prince be in danger?

"Then I have to trouble Mr. Gu with this matter." Looking at Gu Chengyu's calm face, the prince suddenly remembered Shen Shikang's proposal.
