At night, the imperial study.
As he was going hunting tomorrow, Emperor Wen did not favor any concubine tonight.
Of course, he wasn't in the mood for that now.
"Have you found out?"
Emperor Wen was leaning against the bed in the imperial study to take a rest. Two palace maids squatted on the ground to massage his legs, while Mu Shun stood aside with his head bowed.
"I have found out."
Mu Shun replied: "This all started with Meng Guangbai, the son of the Imperial Censor Meng Ruowang."
Meng Guangbai?
Emperor Wen frowned, "What exactly is going on?"
Mu Shun said: "After the Sixth Prince wrote a poem while drunk, he took advantage of the alcohol to angrily scold those who participated in the poetry meeting, saying that they were complaining without reason. He also mentioned that the Sixth Prince was going to Shuobei, which aroused Meng Guangbai's doubts. The Sixth Prince angrily refuted Meng Guangbai, which led to the following events..."
...
...
"question?"
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, "What is Meng Guangbai questioning?"
Mu Shun looked at Emperor Wen cautiously, and then said, "Meng Guangbai questioned whether His Majesty was just talking about letting the Sixth Prince go to Shuobei, or whether he was letting the Sixth Prince go to Shuobei to gain military merit. In short, His Majesty was reluctant to let the Sixth Prince go to Shuobei. The Sixth Prince was probably so angry that he refuted it angrily, and then what happened next happened."
I see!
There was a cold light flashing in Emperor Wen's eyes.
Damn Meng Guangbai!
If he hadn't started to question, wouldn't there have been so many problems?
The more Emperor Wen thought about it, the angrier he became. He immediately ordered Mu Shun, "Tell Meng Ruowang to discipline his son! Tell him that if he can't discipline his son, I will do it for him!"
When he spoke the latter part, there was clearly a hint of murderous intent in Emperor Wen's words.
Mu Shun nodded, and then asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, now that the Sixth Prince is going to Shuobei, everyone knows about it. What should we do now?"
"What should I do? How do I know what to do?"
Emperor Wen glared at Mu Shun in anger, "Now everyone in the city knows that I ordered the Sixth Prince to go to Shuobei, and they also say that I am wise and brave, and that the Sixth Prince is not afraid of death! If I don't let him go to Shuobei, how will everyone in the city look at me?"
Speaking of this matter, Emperor Wen felt furious.
If this matter hadn't spread, it would be fine.
But now, it has become known to everyone!
He couldn't control public opinion even if he wanted to!
They are now praised to the sky!
Either continue to stay in the sky, or fall down and be smashed to pieces!
…
The next morning, Chen Luoyan came to meet Yun Zheng and the others very reluctantly.
She is interested in hunting.
But she didn't want to see Yun Zheng at all now.
If Emperor Wen hadn't specifically instructed her to do so, she wouldn't have wanted to go at all.
Shen Luoyan was dressed in tight clothes and carried a bow and arrow.
She looks a bit like a female general.
Compared with Shen Luoyan, Yun Zheng and Ye Zi are more casual.
With Yun Zheng's small body, it was difficult for him to even draw two crossbows, let alone hunting.
Although Ye Zi is better than Yun Zheng, she is not much better.
Yun Zheng knew clearly that Emperor Wen had specially asked him to bring Ye Zi along today, probably to test Ye Zi's poetic talent.
For this purpose, Yun Zheng specially prepared more than ten poems for Ye Zi.
Either it is hunting-themed or landscape-themed.
He also didn't know how Emperor Wen would test Ye Zi, so he could only make as much preparation as possible in advance. If necessary, Ye Zi could make some temporary changes.
It was obvious that Shen Luoyan was still angry, and she couldn't hide the look in her eyes that missed Dao Yunzheng.
After some simple preparations, they took a few guards and headed for Nanyuan.
Nanyuan, also known as Nanyuan Hunting Ground.
This is the royal hunting ground, reserved for hunting by the royal family.
When they arrived at the gate of Nanyuan, most of the other princes had arrived, except Emperor Wen and the eighth and ninth princes who still lived in the palace.
"Sixth Brother, my father asked me to come hunting, why didn't you even bring a bow and arrow?"
"Old Six didn't bring it, but his Sixth Prince's wife can bring it!"
"Anyway, the Sixth Prince has trouble even drawing the bow, so Father specially asked the Sixth Prince's wife to come here, probably because he wants her to hunt on behalf of the Sixth Prince."
"Sixth Brother, I heard that you made a big splash in Qunfang Garden the other day! I didn't expect that you, who have rarely been out of the Imperial City, could write so many poems about the battlefield."
"Sixth Brother, whose poems did you copy? Tell Third Brother, and he will copy a few poems tomorrow..."
As soon as Yun Zheng arrived, he was met with cold ridicule from several princes.
This situation was completely within Yun Zheng's expectations.
Yun Zheng shook his head secretly.
These idiots are princes after all.
Why do you keep mocking yourself as a nobody?
The way he tries to show his presence is so low-level.
Yun Zheng sighed as he rode his horse up to the few people and stared at them, making them feel very uncomfortable.
"What are you looking at?"
Yun Li glared at Yun Zheng and scolded him unhappily.
Yun Zheng grinned, "Fourth brother knows."
The fourth one?
The three princes subconsciously looked at Yun Ting.
Yun Ting's face was slightly sad, and he said with a dark face: "He wants to remember your voices, faces and smiles. He will miss you very much in the afterlife."
Voice, appearance and smile?
The three of them twitched their lips slightly and glared at Yun Zheng angrily.
"well!"
Yun Zheng sighed in a pretentious manner, and said quietly: "In fact, I really can't bear to leave my four brothers. When I go to Shuobei, I want to take one of my brothers with me. In this way, if I die in Shuobei, there will be a brother to help me carry the coffin back. I wonder if my father will agree..."
Take someone to Shuobei?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, several people felt a sharp pang in their hearts.
Who would be willing to go to Shuobei with him?
Now is the time to fight for the position of crown prince!
If he runs to Shuobei, won't he lose his chance of becoming the crown prince?
Just as a few people were cursing inwardly, Yun Zheng stared at them again.
He seemed to be thinking about who to go to Shuobei with him.
"Sixth Brother, don't say that!"
Yun Ting said with a dark face: "Besides, even if you said it, Father would not agree!"
“Who knows?”
Yun Zheng rubbed his nose. "At worst, I can go to the front and my brother who went to Shuobei with me can just wait to help me carry the coffin. It's not dangerous. Maybe my father will agree."
This bastard!
After hearing Yun Zheng's words, several people almost wanted to kick him off his horse.
This bastard is in favor right now.
If he really makes this request, maybe his father will agree to it.
The second prince nodded at Yun Li beside him and said, "Your third brother has the best relationship with you and even lent you money. You can ask your third brother to go with you."
“Yes, yes!”
Yun Ting and the Fifth Prince immediately nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you go?"
Yun Li glared at them, "Stop fanning the flames here!"
The second prince laughed, "We are not fanning the flames, we are telling the truth! Besides, Third Prince, didn't you say you would personally send the Sixth Prince off? Isn't this just right? You send the Sixth Prince off and then pick him up again."
"Right." Yun Ting clapped his hands and laughed, "We dare not compete with Third Brother for this matter!"
The fifth prince echoed: "As an elder brother, you should go and bring your younger brother back!"
"Then it should be the second brother who goes!"
Yun Li snorted coldly, "After the crown prince committed suicide, my second brother became our eldest brother. How can I compete with my second brother for this matter?"
The alliance between the four people broke down in an instant, and they began to fight each other.
Yun Zheng saw it all, but just smiled and said nothing, secretly cursing these four idiots in his heart.
Just as the four were fighting, dust suddenly rose in the distance, and then a flag appeared in everyone's sight.
It was not until Emperor Wen arrived that the four of them shut up, but the looks they gave each other were full of hostility...
