As soon as the prince returned to Yuqing Palace, he heard that the emperor wanted to find a companion for the eighth elder brother.Seeing that Shu Yan was holding the twisted handkerchief by the side and wanted to hear it, she deliberately asked, "Who is it?" Holding water in both hands, she washed her face twice.

Li Ji replied: "It is said that it is a scholar named He Zhuo. Although this person has no fame, he is quite well-known in the world."

The crown prince took the handkerchief and wiped his face, then said: "Understood, you will go to Nanxun Hall to pass a message later, let the elder brothers come to Yuqing Palace after school, and I want to test their riding and archery skills." .”

Li Ji went in response.

Shu Yan took back the handkerchief to Hanyu behind her, and followed the prince out of the bathroom, saying, "It's not that Brother Ba is a good reader, why do you have to go outside to find a companion for him to read with?" And more importantly What is more worrying is that "the prince's attendants are generally not selected from the children of the nearby clan. If he chooses a Han, the emperor is willing." What is even more worrying is that He Zhuo is also talented. No problem.

The prince then smiled and said: "Although Khan Ama values ​​Han officials, he also respects well-learned people. It's not that I want to grow other people's ambitions. Although some of our banner people are also good at writing and learning, they are not as good as other generations. Xiwen has a family background. Although Lao Ba has a good memory, he can't write with his handwriting. Since he is quite famous in the market, he must not be bad. For those who have real talents and learning, Khan Ama never regards them as It depends on your status."

After hearing these words, Shu Yan suddenly wanted to look at the prince differently.But He Zhuo, if it can be destroyed, it shouldn't be a bad thing after all.Then he chased after the prince and asked, "Since the Lord said so, then if he thinks highly of himself, he would not think of being a servant of the emperor's elder brother."

The prince sat down in front of the desk, raised a pen, pointed to the inkstone, motioned for Shu Yan to grind it, and then said: "Unless the ancestors have enmity with the imperial court, or they are dedicated to the former court." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help smiling and said: " Do you know who are the people who study Ming history in the study in Nanyuan?"

While grinding, Shu Yan looked at the prince and shook her head, "Could it be that they are all people who harbor resentment towards the imperial court?"

The prince tapped the tip of Shu Yan's nose with a pen, "Aren't they those famous scholars who think highly of themselves? When we entered the customs, who didn't hold their heads high and say nothing to be an official of the Qing Dynasty. But What kind of person is Khan Ama? He only said that the imperial court was recruiting talents to compile Ming history. If no one applied, the Ming history compilation might be abandoned. He also threatened not to receive a copper coin from the court. But now you look at how many Hanchens stood in the court, and some even joined the cabinet."

This is where the personal charm of Emperor Kangxi lies.Although they live together in Sijiu City, it is impossible for Shu Yan to know him in this life.In the past, I always heard that he was a benevolent monarch, and he was very tolerant of his subjects, which led to the chaos in the administration of officials in his later years, and it was precisely because of this that he indirectly led to the death of the fourth master from overwork after he came to power.

In the past, Shu Yan's labels on Kangxi were either scum or big pig's trotters. This is from the perspective of women.But from the perspective of common people, he can actually be called a Youdao Mingjun.Therefore, it is difficult to have a standard to comment on things like merit and demerit, and it should be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

The reason why the prince said so much is that he mainly wants to express that as long as the emperor wants to do something, there is nothing that cannot be done.Therefore, it is basically a certainty that He Zhuo will serve as the eighth prince's servant.

He didn't think it was good or not, how could a staff member play a pivotal role.But seeing that Shu Yan was so concerned about this matter, she had a plan in mind.It's just that he's not in a hurry to get to the bottom of it right now, let's see what else she wants to do.

Shu Yan was grinding, but her eyes glanced at the prince's men from time to time. To be honest, with the length of this finger, playing the piano must be very good-looking.However, the lowercase characters he writes are similar to human beings, correct and meticulous.

After watching it for a long time, Shu Yan asked, "Master, this is drawing up a gift list!" It was really fresh.

The prince hummed, "The fourth brother's wedding date has been set. He was raised by Empress Xiao Yiren since he was a child, and he has little close relationship with Concubine De. The master has been out of service since he was a child, and saw that he was not close to his mother." , and cold-tempered, somewhat distressed, I taught him a lot in the early years, even the six arts have their own points. Now that he is going to get married, as a brother, you must give him a generous gift."

The prince spoke very patiently about such short words from the parents, which shows that he is really kind to the fourth elder brother.I don't know how the prince will feel when the fourth elder brother is going to be the emperor in the future.But at this moment, he said with great interest, "It is said that the master is proficient in the six arts. I have been in the palace for so long and I have never heard you play the piano."

The prince looked up, "I want to hear it."

Shu Yan pursed her lips and nodded, she just wanted to see Er Ye's talent show.

The prince put down his pen and said: "Then go and burn the incense, and I will caress you when the master comes back."

Shu Yan went all the way to get someone to work on the incense burner and piano case, and then asked, "But what else do you need?"

The prince smiled and said: "Fu Jin should not fall asleep later."

Shu Yan thought that the prince was modestly saying that he didn't play well, so she raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm sure not."

The prince changed into his uniform and went to the martial arts arena under the east corridor.

Although the elder brothers all came, they were all depressed, and there was nothing to chat with each other, they just sat on the railing under the corridor to refresh their spirits.

Elder Brother Pian Shi couldn’t bear the hunger, he had eaten up his half-afternoon snacks, and now his chest was sticking to his back, so he couldn’t help but look around, and lightly touched Jiu Ah next to him Brother, "There is no brother Jiu who brings food."

Brother Jiu touched his bosom before remembering, "I gave it to Mynah on the way here."

The eighth elder brother was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, tenth brother, I just gave it to the seventh brother, next time you should remember to pack more food with you, this is the time for you to grow your body, you must not Hungry."

When Seventh Brother heard this, he just opened the veil and hurriedly stuffed a piece of glutinous rice cake into his mouth.

The tenth elder brother only felt a pain in the back molars, so he scolded the seventh elder brother in his heart, and said indifferently on his face: "It's okay myna, since we have all come to Yuqing Palace, why should the second elder brother express it and leave a meal?" I guess there is."

Brother Seven couldn't help laughing at Brother Ten's naivety, "Don't think so far, it's more likely to treat you to Zha Ma Bu later." The joy was too much, and the glutinous rice cake was almost choked with.

The tenth elder brother did not show weakness, "It doesn't matter for the younger brother to do the horse jump, I am afraid that the seventh brother will also be asked to do it later, that would be a difficulty."

Ninth brother bumped tenth brother's arm, and whispered, "You don't talk to brother like this. Even if seventh brother has a leg problem, he can still ride a horse and shoot arrows, but you, don't know it all day long. Eat it and see what it looks like."

Elder Brother Ten refused to accept, "What have I done to me?"

The eighth brother shouted: "Stop arguing, the second brother is here."

The brothers all stood up and called Second Brother, and obediently went to pick up bows and arrows.

After shooting the two pots of quiver, there were only ten or three quiver with some strength left, and the others were all slumped on the ground and couldn't get up.

"No, second brother, my legs started to hurt again." Seventh elder brother wiped the sweat from his head, his legs and feet were indeed trembling faintly there.But it's not a leg disease, it's because I'm hungry.

The prince glanced at him and said, "Ama Khan has already spoken. When he comes to test you, if you can't pass the test, then go to the Xishan camp to hone your skills."

These words frightened Seventh Brother, his legs stopped shaking, and he regained his energy. He even asked the attendants to bring two pots of arrows, one full of bows, and hit the bull's-eye.

Of course, there are those who are afraid of going to the camp to endure hardships, and naturally there are also those who are looking forward to going.Not only the fourteenth elder brother, but even the eighth elder brother wants to go on a different path from the past, and it is unknown if he can find another way.

So, except for the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother who were as usual, and the seventh elder brother who performed supernormally, the other two all missed the target, either missing the target or simply missing the target.

Seeing this situation, the tenth elder brother found it very interesting. Instead of revealing the secrets of the eighth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, he said to the seventh elder brother: "Seventh elder brother, you can hide it deep enough. It's just you In this way, it will definitely not be a problem if we go into battle to kill the enemy in the future."

Seventh elder brother snorted, "Don't flatter brother, I don't have any ambitions, I just want to live a comfortable life."

The eighth elder brother heard that there was another mystery in the words, and he was immediately enlightened.I also blame myself for being too eager, even if I want to show my poor archery skills, I can wait until the emperor comes to test me, why do I show it so bluntly, it makes people think it's wrong.Then he said with a smile: "After practicing for so long, it is inevitable that there will be times when the hand is not accurate." Then he twisted an arrow frame and put it on the bow, "When I have enough energy tomorrow, I may be able to find the direction." If you loosen your fingers and leave the string, you will hit the bullseye.

Brother Nine laughed beside him and said, "As expected of a starling, you can take it in and out freely."

The fourteenth elder brother held his bow and said, "Yes, except for mynah who can do this, we can't match it."

These words are sour, no one can understand what they mean.But in front of the prince, no one is willing to go deep.Especially the eighth elder brother, what he did today has already lost his previous standard, so he just looked at Shisi and smiled slightly, and continued to draw the bow and shoot the arrow.

On the contrary, after watching the lively prince once, he saw many clues.When it was almost time to put everyone back, he went straight to Shu Yan in a good mood.

Shu Yan waited half the night to understand what the prince said before he left. It turned out that what he said was not to wait until he fell asleep.

Looking at the chiming clock, it was already past ten o'clock.In the past, this was naturally not a big deal, but Shu Yan has been used to going to bed at [-] o'clock for so many years, and she is still dozing off at this point, as soon as she sits down, her eyelids can't help but twitch.

"Go and see if the work is over with Grandpa." As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawned again.

Just as Hanyu went out, she bumped into Hanyan who wanted to enter at the door, and the two of them didn't know what to say, and they even started arguing.

"What's the matter?" Could it be that she heard the prince's words from their words, Shu Yan raised her voice and asked outside.
