The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 109
"Why did you come back so late?" Fu Yuchen put down the tea cup and asked.

"Mother is teaching my sister about blind dates! I also listened in." Fu Xuechen replied, and then asked strangely: "Brother, why are you here? The conversation between Dad and you is over so soon?"

Fu Yuchen knocked on the table, and Fu Xuechen saw a large stack of manuscripts on the table.

"These are all manuscripts sent by shopkeeper Liu of the bookstore, and they have been piled up in my study for two days." Fu Yuchen reminded: "The bookstore is yours, and you have always been in control of what kind of manuscripts you want to publish. In the future, these manuscripts can’t be sent to me first, right? Or I’ll inform the concierge tomorrow, and these things will be sent directly to your Qingtongyuan?”

Yes, Fu Xuechen really forgot to tell his servants about this matter. No wonder he always felt that something was missing these two days. It turned out that if it was delivered every now and then, this manuscript was sent to Fu Yuchen's study by his servants, and no one sent it to himself. come here.

Fu Xuechen picked up the manuscript, and instead of flipping through it, she curiously asked Fu Yuchen: "Brother, how do you and the sixth prince plan to build Qingwei? Can you tell me about it?"

Fu Yuchen twitched his lips: "Father said that we don't need to worry about the official documents. Tomorrow, we will go to the Ministry of War to go through the process and get the documents and soldier symbols. We can start recruiting in the future. Father suggests that we don't recruit those generals. We just recruited ordinary good families, and we also talked about a few surrounding counties with a relatively sufficient supply of soldiers...we will have to run away at that time."

Fu Xuechen understood, probably understood his father's considerations, the children of military generals would basically be sent by their families to the Imperial Academy to learn to read and write. This was either for the imperial examination, or for the position of an officer in the emperor's pro-army.

The sixth prince has not yet been crowned king, but just built a young bodyguard. Even if the future can be expected, I am afraid that not many people will buy it at this time. In the future, he will work under the emperor's errand, so why go to a young prince to serve the future?

Recruiting such children as personal guards is not easy to convince the crowd, and the difficulty of controlling them has increased significantly. For the sixth prince and Fu Yuchen who are new to the army, the start is not good. It is better to lower the requirements and recruit people from ordinary people's families.

"Father's suggestion is very good." Fu Xuechen ignored Fu Yuchen's hard work in going to the countryside and counties frequently in the future to recruit people, and greatly appreciated his father's suggestion: "But now that the kingdom has been established, if there is no accident, there will be at least a few more people in the future." After ten years of peace, the prospects for scholars are very promising. On the contrary, the chances of making meritorious service and promotion in the military have been greatly reduced. The people you can recruit are probably all scumbags who can't read books, and you can't recruit good scholars with good brains. !"

Fu Yuchen, who has been communicating with Fu Xuechen continuously for more than two months, understands the meaning of a scumbag in a second, but he has some logic that he doesn't understand Fu Xuechen: "The personal guard should focus on riding and archery. Does it matter if it is a schoolmaster? He can't read, as long as he is flexible and has a quick mind, he is enough to become an excellent scout."

The scouts in the army in ancient times were roughly equal to the scouts of the later generations, and their ability was one level higher than that of ordinary soldiers. The work they did was extremely dangerous, so they took much more silver than ordinary soldiers, and ordinary people could not do it .

"Brother, you are too small!" Fu Xuechen taunted mercilessly: "How can you treat these thousand green guards as ordinary personal guards? They are all the future generals of the Sixth Prince's army!"

"As generals, you will have to rely on them to expand your Qingwei in the future. In this way, they must be smart, and they can't read at all! If they don't provide them with education at home, you have to find a way for them to study. The minimum knowledge of characters and arithmetic, and it is best to learn the language of the enemy country."

Fu Yuchen is not stupid, and he doesn't need to hit the drum with a heavy hammer. In fact, as soon as Fu Xuechen said the first sentence, he had already come to his senses.

Fu Xuechen hummed triumphantly.

Fu Yuchen got up and left, saying as he walked, "But you are a girl, you don't have to worry about these things, just embroider at home, read books, and play with cats."

Fu Xuechen's expression changed when he heard the words, and his spirit was depressed. The life of a noble lady is indeed quite comfortable in this era, but the way to help this country become stronger is also narrow!

Forget it!Why do you think so much, and no one stipulates that a traverser must be a strong country!
Fu Xuechen put aside his thoughts and asked someone to bring the cat's milk tea, really teasing the cat.

That night, it wasn't just the Fu family who gathered family members or cronies to talk about it. In the whole of Beijing, those who heard the news that the first prince was going to become a monk, and those who got the news that the sixth prince had received the imperial bestowed green guard, were all without exception.

In Yanning Palace, Concubine Xie Guifei was also overjoyed, listening to Yunzuo's story of winning the hunt, as well as some ideas about the establishment of Qingwei, she would smile from time to time.

It wasn't until Yun Zuo mentioned that Jin Lixiangrui appeared, that the second prince proposed the emperor to give him a marriage, and that the eldest prince asked himself to become a monk, then he showed a bit of thoughtfulness, and turned to ask Madam Zhao who was standing behind him: "Ma'am What do you think?"

Zhao Momo frowned slightly, and said softly: "The First Prince has completely cut off the marriage!"

Concubine Xie Guifei thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Even if the eldest prince didn't ask himself to become a monk, my clan sister would definitely not agree to this marriage, but we might as well help with the details to see which family is suitable for my niece." ?”

A smile immediately climbed up Zhao Mama's face: "Your Majesty, if you want to say that this servant is in good spirits, all these good men on our side who have not yet married are clearly remembered in this servant's heart." !"

She looked at Yun Zuo, who was drinking tea there with a dry throat, and said with a smile: "Including those who are of the same age as our Highness, the servants are also paying attention, and we just wait for His Highness to come of age!"

"Nurse, your old hobby is really..." Concubine Xie was a little funny, and she glanced at her son and said, "Zuo'er is still young! The young man Yuanyang is not sure about rebooting, don't say this in front of him .”

"You can save the slaves." Zhao Momo quickly agreed.

Yoon Zuo curled his lips in secret, he said everything and then made up for it afterwards, but fortunately he didn't bother, he didn't even think about what his wife would be like in the future, and now he should think more about what aspects of Qingwei's ability to cultivate is the right way Well, this hunting is really a narrow victory, if the reward falls into the hands of the fifth brother, then it's not my turn to be happy!I have to cry to death!

In Yihe Palace, the atmosphere was dignified. The fifth prince, Yunqi, was really close to crying to death, even though he didn't shed any tears.

Gong'e braced herself and hurriedly cleared the table under Concubine De's nose.

Just now, Concubine De's hand was heavy for a while, and the moment she put down the teacup, she broke the bottom of the cup, and the remaining tea wetted half of the small square table, and the maids had to rush to replace it with new hot tea.

Fortunately, after venting this, Concubine De's anger calmed down, she averted her son's iron eyes, and she blamed her natal nephews: "The two brothers Fu Lin and Fu Shan are too useless. That's it! A pair of guards, combined, can't match the children of Lao Liu!"

Yun Qi dare not speak, Yun Zuo is only one year younger than him, and Yun Zuo is a child, so he is not a child?He was born with brute strength and excellent performance in riding and archery. How could he compare to others?
Does Yun Zuo dare to compete with him in poetry?He will definitely not lose to the opponent in the poetry competition!Isn't it conceivable that you will lose if you use your own shortcomings against others' strengths?What's more, even if you win, you don't win by your own ability, it's unavoidable to win.

Nurse Feng looked at Yunqi's red eyes and looked aggrieved, and couldn't help but said, "Madam, riding and archery is not our Highness' strong point at all, besides, in this palace, the Sixth Prince's riding and archery skills are worthy of consideration." It is well known, not long ago, it was rumored that the Holy Majesty expected him to be the Great General King..."

Concubine De couldn't help looking at her.

Mother Feng paused, and said cautiously: "So, Madam, look, is there a possibility that the reward of the Thousand Guards is for the Sixth Prince? If the Sixth Prince loses, the reward will not be given to the Holy One." Will it be taken out?"

Concubine De was slightly taken aback, but this statement was something she had never thought about before. After thinking about it carefully, the more she thought about it, the more it felt like it. Could it be that all her painstaking efforts were actually wasted?
Thinking of this, Concubine De could only heave a long sigh. If she wanted her son to establish a solid foundation early, she had to find another opportunity.

One family is happy and the other is sad, but the atmosphere in Kun'an Palace is condensed.

The queen had been holding the teacup and sitting motionless for a while, and Yoon-jeong bowed his head three meters away in front of her and remained silent.

There is no need for Yunzhen to report what happened. She has her own eyes and ears to pass all the details to the queen in time. She doesn't have to wait for him to return to the palace. Everything that happened during the spring search cannot be hidden from her.

After a long time, the queen gave Yunzhen a very indifferent look: "Did I tell you before? You have to be vigilant against the two brothers in front of you? Just like this, you were dragged away by the eldest prince." What happened to the temple?"

"It's good now. The eldest prince asked himself to become a monk. Do you think that your father will not be able to find out about you? Do you think that you secretly instigated the eldest prince to become a monk?"

Yun Zhen took a deep breath, but did not defend himself. He knew that before he went to Yuanjue Temple with the First Prince, he never thought that the First Prince would want to become a monk, but now that it has become a fact, what's the use of justifying, do others believe it?
The queen then sneered again: "Forget it! It's my fate. I am destined to worry about you to death in this life. The road will be paved for you, and the tail will be cleared for you. But you are not willing to do it, just like Ben. It's like the palace hurt you."

"I dare not!" Yoon Zhen bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

The queen stared at him sharply: "Since you know you don't dare, then you have to be obedient and cooperate more from now on!"

"..." Yoongi remained silent.

The queen patted the young couple next to her bitterly: "I will only cause trouble for this palace!"

"Your Majesty, don't be so angry, you will be hurt if you get too angry." Mother Su advised softly beside her: "Your Highness is not yet an adult, and there are still many ideals that are not clear. It would be better to be older! Besides, His Highness is trying to win over you." People are very talented, and they have done a good job, the sixth prince and the brothers and sisters of the Fu family have a good relationship with His Highness, don't they?"

The queen sneered: "What's the use?"

Su Momo thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "The second prince actually thought of asking the sage general Fu's family to give a marriage to the first prince to win over the Fu family, and then win over the sixth prince. In fact, our Highness can do it too. The Fu family's daughter Although she is a little young, it is barely enough to be a side concubine for our highness."

Yunzhen couldn't help but clenched his fist slightly, and glanced at Madam Su.

The queen shook her head: "The prince can only have three concubines at most, one on the front and two on the other side. Just for such a small benefit, he allowed a concubine to be a concubine? What else does the daughter of the Fu family have besides her face? The simplest word games can't be played by a few children younger than her, and the reputation and virtue are even less obvious, and the qualifications are already reluctant, so you can't get it!"

Madam Su was ashamed: "It's the servant who owes me a lot of thought!"

The queen gave Yunzhen a cold look: "Go back to your prince's place! Be safe recently."

"Yes!" Yoon Zhen bowed and retreated.

Seeing his back disappearing outside the palace, the queen complained to herself: "It's really irritating to bear the status of the first prince brought to him by this palace, but not working hard to make progress. He looks so dead all day long."

Su Momo comforted him as usual: "Your Majesty, why should you be angry? When His Highness leaves the palace next year to open the palace and do business in court, the Second Prince will definitely not make it easy for His Highness. By then His Highness should know why there is a fight."

When Fang stepped into the prince's room, he immediately heard a meow, General Wei ran a few steps, and threw himself into the owner's arms.

Yoon-joo chased out of the house, and saw Yoon-jeong standing in the courtyard.

Yoon Zhen hugged his beloved pet and combed its long fur continuously, and even buried his face on its back and sucked it several times. The cold breath on his body slowly dissipated a lot during this series of movements.

"Fourth brother, did the empress reprimand you again? Just because of the big brother becoming a monk?" Yoon Zuo asked with concern. Although it was a question, his tone was quite sure of his own judgment.

Yoon Zhen glanced at Yoon Zuo slightly in surprise, but remained silent.

Seeing his unhappy appearance, Yoon Zuo changed the subject, and said in a brisk and funny tone, "Is this your first litter, isn't it? It often meows, it sounds like it is calling for its two sent away cats." It's like a child, but it's a pity that Zhiling's one can still be seen occasionally, but it will be difficult to see the one sent to Fu's house again!"

Yunzhen paused for a moment before asking, "Miss Fu from the Fu family likes cats very much?"

Yoon Zuo nodded: "Yes! I heard from Yuchen that she really likes the milk cat I gave her, so she keeps it by her side."

"Then is Fu Yuchen still interested in Zhen Beast Garden?" Yunzhen asked again.

Yoon Zuo was startled: "Why do you ask that?"

Yun Zhen said indifferently: "I just feel that you haven't been to the Animal Garden for a long time, right?"

"It's really been a long time! It's been almost half a month since Longevity Day." Yoon Zuo couldn't help touching his nose: "Yuchen never mentioned going to the Animal Garden after he got a cat. Cats also like good-looking owls with big round eyes and other birds, even snowy owls are of interest to him.”

"I don't know if my haidongqing baby bird can fly. By the way, it's time for me to learn how to cook an eagle, right?" Yoon Zuo said, but when he looked up, he found that Yoon Zhen had already returned to his own room with the cat in his arms. courtyard.

Tsk!After this busy period is over, invite Yuchen to go to Zhenshouyuan!Yoon Joo muttered to himself.
