Chapter 134: Arrival
Emperor Jingwen was helpless. He looked at his eldest son beside him and asked him what to say in the current situation.
The little bastard was very cunning and hit the nail on the head. No matter how angry he was, the little princes still had to study, right?
Unless the eldest prince could find a better teacher, Master Cen in the upper study was destined to be the fate of the little princes.
But it was obvious that there were not many teachers or great scholars in the entire Great Zhou who were better than Lord Cen and his companions, so Emperor Jingwen had no choice but to agree to Ye Shuo’s reasonable request.
Now even the eldest prince could not say that his father was partial.
And the eldest prince finally understood why his mother and father reacted that way after they heard about the conflict between him and his ninth younger brother.
Once this child sticks to you, it’s hard to get rid of him easily.
In fact, Ye Shuo’s idea is very simple. If he can’t deal with his cheap elder brother, how can he not deal with his cheap elder brother’s younger brother and son?I have seen many shameless people, but I have never seen someone so shameless and scoundrel.
Other brothers, like the crown prince and the second prince, at least have some dignity, but this one is different. He has no dignity at all.
The current situation is that he {YS} can’t deal with him {YL}, but no one else around him {YL} can deal with him {YS}.
Holding your breath, it’s really too suffocating!
The eldest prince also understood why his sons, who had always been strong, were wiping tears while running.
The eldest prince was trying to suppress him with his momentum, but as soon as he looked over, Ye Shuo glared back at him, unwilling to be outdone. He looked even more ferocious than him.
The eldest prince: “…”
The eldest brother is really something. He is so old but still behaves like a child. Emperor Jingwen next to him frowned, completely forgetting that he had just argued with his son in the same way a few years ago.
While the two men were exchanging glances, Ye Yan and the other three could no longer sit still and surrounded them, panting.
“Father, I don’t want to come to the study.”
“Grandpa Emperor, I don’t want to…”
“Father…”
The four children shouted in unison. They were not stupid. If the Ninth Prince threatened them with the Eighth Prince every day, wouldn’t they have to listen to the Ninth Prince every day?
Obviously, Ye Yan and the others knew that the Eighth Prince was their uncle, and they couldn’t just sit back and watch.
So once you enter the palace, you’re doomed.
However, before Emperor Jingwen could even say anything, the eldest prince shouted, “Shut up!”
“Starting tomorrow, all of you, come here and study!”
There is no other way. It is not enough to just know kung fu. You must also read books.
The eldest prince, whose lifeline of education was strangled, turned pale.
They didn’t expect their father to suddenly get angry, and Ye Yan and his four brothers were dumbfounded.
As for Ye Shuo standing aside, he made a victory gesture.
So what’s the point of fighting for that position? Because of this, you will be controlled by others in every way and you won’t be able to speak or do things with confidence.
Seeing the little bastard openly provoking his eldest son, Emperor Jingwen felt a terrible headache. Emperor Jingwen really wanted to ask him how confident he was to feel that he could withstand a punch from his eldest brother.
After the eldest prince finished scolding his son, he almost gritted his teeth and said, “Well done, Ninth Brother.”
The eldest prince didn’t know what was wrong. He couldn’t control his temper when he saw his younger brother.
Oh my god, he’s coming again? The cheap elder brother is indeed extraordinary. People who have led soldiers are more stubborn than others.
Ye Shuo stretched out a finger and said, “Once.”
The eldest prince narrowed his eyes: “What do you mean?”
“You’ve threatened me again.” Ye Shuo said seriously, “That’s three times in total. Don’t blame me for randomly picking one of your sons.”
Emperor Jingwen: “…”
The eldest prince: “…”
“Asshole, you—”
Ye Shuo didn’t even blink, and decisively raised another finger: “Twice.”
The eldest prince was so angry when he realised what was going on.
It’s already this time, the little bastard should stop adding fuel to the fire, okay?
Emperor Jingwen didn’t dare to let the two of them stay together anymore. If his eldest son really didn’t care and hung up on the little bastard and beat him up, he might not be able to stop him.
“Someone! Send the Ninth Prince back to Qiuwu Palace!”
At Emperor Jingwen’s order, Ye Shuo was almost dragged away by the guards. Before leaving, he glared at several of his nephews.
“My dear nephew, see you tomorrow.”
Ye Yan and the others couldn’t control themselves and shivered.
“Well, calm down too.” After a while, facing the mess left by his youngest son, Emperor Jingwen had to clean up the mess for him. Fortunately, Emperor Jingwen had done a lot of this over the years and had long been accustomed to it.
“Your brother is still young, don’t bother with him.”
The eldest prince curled his lips, but what he was thinking in his heart was that although his younger brother was young, he seemed more annoying than the crown prince.
But since Emperor Jingwen has spoken, the eldest prince certainly cannot go against him.
The eldest prince finally regained his senses and lowered his head: “Father is right, it was I who was reckless and started a quarrel with my ninth brother.”
“…There’s no need to say that.” Emperor Jingwen paused strangely, obviously knowing the little bastard’s ability to irritate people.
“Xiaojiu is also wrong in this matter.”
The eldest prince was stunned. In the past, his father doted on the prince, but he never said such words…
The eldest prince felt a little comforted and was not so angry anymore.
As he walked along the road, Emperor Jingwen could not help but slowly recount his experiences over the years: “Your ninth brother broke my pair of jade unicorns when he was born. When he was one or two years old, he teased me. When he was three, four, five years old…”
The more Emperor Jingwen talked, the more silent the eldest prince beside him became. He suddenly began to wonder how his father had survived all these years.
It’s infuriating enough if it happens once or twice, but if it happens every day every year, no one can stand it.
If this was his own son, the eldest prince would definitely beat him three times a day until he became obedient.
As if he had read his mind, Emperor Jingwen sighed, “I have beaten and scolded him, but your ninth brother is just a piece of tough meat. I really have no choice.”
“Fortunately, he is not a bad person by nature, and I have no intention of entrusting him with important tasks, so I indulge him a little.”
What are the other sons? They are the future pillars of the Great Zhou.
As for the little bastard, Emperor Jingwen will be thankful if he doesn’t commit crimes and bring harm to the people in the future.
A thousand words could not outweigh the words of Emperor Jingwen. Although the eldest prince had some guesses in his heart, he was still surprised when he heard Emperor Jingwen admit it himself.
A prince who is not valued by his father is useless.
Even if we are glorious and glorious at this moment, we are ultimately just a rootless duckweed, a flash in the pan.
Why should I bother with such a brother?
While the eldest prince was stunned, Emperor Jingwen said, “In fact, today I am really worried that Xiaojiu will take action directly.”
The eldest prince originally thought that Emperor Jingwen was worried that his ninth brother would suffer a loss if they really fought, but Emperor Jingwen immediately said, “It would be bad if Little Nine hit hard and hurt the grandson of the emperor.”
It would be fine if it comes to studying, as there are no good teachers at the border, so Yan’er and the others are naturally worse at studying than the prince’s sons. But when it comes to martial arts, the eldest prince is confident that no one of his peers can be a match for his son.
“Your Majesty, you underestimate Yan’er and the others.” Even if the Ninth Prince was taught by the Duke of Zhen, it would not be like this. The First Prince was confident that he was no worse than the Duke of Zhen.
Therefore, the eldest prince couldn’t help but defend his sons.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yan and the others immediately straightened their chests.
“Oh? Are your sons confident that they can withstand these moves?” Suddenly remembering the incident of his ear being bitten, Emperor Jingwen’s expression froze at first, and then quickly returned to normal.
In this way, the eldest prince soon learned about his younger brother’s famous skills, except for the ear-biting thing.
These are all tricks that the eldest prince would never use even if he were beaten to death.
Since the eldest prince doesn’t use it, his sons naturally won’t use it either.
For some reason, Ye Yan and the others suddenly felt a chill between their legs.
I didn’t expect the Ninth Prince to be like this…
The eldest prince was now completely speechless, and even felt a little regretful for provoking such a scoundrel.
As the sun sets, the eldest prince leaves the palace with his absent-minded sons.
Looking at the backs of several people from afar, Wang Ziquan didn’t know why, but he always felt that the emperor said those words on purpose.
After a while, Wang Ziquan vaguely heard Emperor Jingwen sigh softly.
Emperor Jingwen didn’t want to say so much. After all, he had never worried so much when he was the crown prince.
But Xiaojiu is different after all. As the crown prince, if he is protected too tightly without any leaks, it may be detrimental to the Great Zhou. As for Xiaojiu, he has no ability and is easy to offend people, so he can only rely on himself.
If he really offends his eldest son to death, he will suffer in the future.
Xiaojiu couldn’t think so much, so I could only take the trouble to help him clean up the mess.
Soon, Emperor Jingwen waved to Wang Ziquan.
“Let’s go, we’re going back too.”
The other side.
Ye Shuo had a good sleep. The next morning, he packed up and took Jian Jian to the study.
The four brothers Ye Yan no longer had the arrogance they had yesterday. Time was too tight, and they didn’t even have time to find a study partner. They just came to the upper study room like they had lost their parents.
Although Ye Yan and others were already prepared, they were still very panicked when they saw the Ninth Prince walking towards them after the second class.
“It’s almost time for the horseback archery class, all of you follow me.”
Ye Yan subconsciously wanted to resist, but Ye Shuo seemed to see through his intention and immediately turned his gaze to the Eighth Prince standing beside him.
The Eighth Prince felt that he had offended someone and secretly made up his mind that when Master Wu arrived, he would learn well this time!
Forced by Ye Shuo’s tyranny, Ye Yan could only follow Ye Shuo out reluctantly. However, what they were thinking in their hearts was that Eighth Uncle would leave the palace and build his own house in less than a year. By that time, Eighth Uncle would not be in the study, so who could Ninth Uncle threaten?
Thinking of this, they suddenly had hope, and Ye Yan and the other three felt much more relieved.
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Ye Yan made a decisive decision and endured it!
Satisfied to see that they were obedient, Ye Shuo threw Jian Jian to a few people and told her to go for it as her nephews were so strong that she would definitely not be able to hurt them with her current strength.
Just like this, Ye Yan and others, who were still children themselves, were forced to take care of children.
Looking at Ye Shuo on the side, after doing horse stance and two sets of boxing, he flipped over the hammock, closed his eyes and took a good rest.
It was unexpected that he wanted to let his nephew teach his aunt martial arts.
However, Emperor Jingwen was no longer surprised. He didn’t even blink when he heard the news and continued to discuss the follow-up issues of the flood with Prime Minister He and others.
On the other side, after hearing the news, the Grand Tutor couldn’t help but frown, and seemed a little angry.
“How could His Highness do this! How could His Highness hang out with the eldest prince’s sons!”
The Grand Tutor, who had already included the Ninth Prince in his own camp, obviously found it difficult to accept this matter. He even thought that Ye Shuo’s move was an attempt to please both sides.
To put it bluntly, the Grand Tutor thought Ye Shuo was one of his own, which is why he feels betrayed now.
As for the prince standing aside, he was stunned for a while, then said in a deep voice: “Master!”
The Grand Tutor subconsciously turned his head and heard the Crown Prince slowly speak: “This matter has nothing to do with Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu is free by nature. He can be with whoever he wants.”
“Don’t involve him in the affairs of the court. Those things have nothing to do with him.”
Let a child like that do whatever he wants…
Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor fell silent.
If this is true, then wouldn’t the previous closeness be in vain? Although the Ninth Prince is useless, the emperor’s favor is quite helpful.
Although thinking this in his heart, the Grand Tutor opened his mouth and finally said: “…In that case, I will follow your Highness’s wishes.”
For a long time afterwards, the two of them looked at the yard in front of them without saying a word.
The days passed one by one, and just when the foundation laying of Jianjian was in full swing, the eight people from Zouwu and the envoys from Beiting arrived almost at the same time.
