109 109 Summer vacation
◎Nonsense! No toys, no ambition!◎
On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, Master Kang started his annual tour outside the Great Wall.
According to Master Kang's custom, he has to go outside the Great Wall once every summer.
First, it is to inspect the tribes in the north and accept the worship of the leaders of each tribe, including many of his father-in-law, brothers-in-law, and sons-in-law, which can be regarded as a visit to relatives.
Second, it is to escape the heat.
The summer in the capital is extremely hot and unbearable. Master Kang's blood, which comes from the two nomadic peoples on the grassland, is simply unbearable.
For this reason, he developed the habit of going to the frontier every summer - government affairs can be handled on the road or in the palace, and his most trusted princes and ministers are also staying in the capital, so there is no need to worry.
The most important problem is that the palace outside the frontier is cool.
The wind blowing through the wilderness really makes people feel refreshed, which is completely different from the stuffiness in the Yangxin Palace in the capital. It feels like the brain is working faster.
Master Kang was particularly happy to write an inscription for this - coincidentally, it was left in the place where he was going to pass by during this year's tour outside the frontier.
The main content is that he likes the climate of Halahetun very much, and feels very comfortable every time he comes here, and even eats several more bowls of rice.
Because he liked it so much, he built a temporary palace here.
He also emphasized that he did not build this temporary palace on a grand scale, and did not even have carved or painted doors and windows. He just built an ordinary adobe house...
I don't know if others believed it, but Mo Yu said, why didn't he believe it? How
could an adobe house be lived in?
We should be hardworking and simple, but we can't even guarantee basic living conditions.
Don't use the same trick as Gal, that we have to eat vegetarian food, but the vegetarian food is made from chicken soup boiled by dozens of chickens, right?
That would be interesting.
The inscription is quite long.
In order to show the power of its query function, System 006 directly retrieved the original rubbings for Mo Yu in the image system.
I have to say that Master Kang's calligraphy is really beautiful.
This is one of the results of the royal children scrolling from morning to night in the study room every day before they become adults.
Apart from anything else, our basic skills are really solid.
The same is true for the fourth master and the fourth son of Qian. It can be said that whether you can become an emperor is closely related to whether you can write a good handwriting.
Anyway, writing beautiful handwriting does not necessarily make you an emperor, but writing ugly handwriting will definitely not make you an emperor.
After Master Kang expressed that he did not build a palace here for pleasure, he even added that he did not come here to play every day.
He did not fall behind in the government memorials, and even had to receive different Mongolian beile, princes, and dukes every day.
In short, the desire to survive is full, which makes people smile knowingly.
Joking aside, Mo Yu did not escape the fate of accompanying the emperor on this tour outside the Great Wall.
Originally, Master Kang had already adopted his suggestion last time, saying that he would no longer select princes under the age of ten to accompany the tour. In fact,
according to Mo Yu's idea, it is best not to run around before the age of fifteen, after all, there are not a few children of twelve or thirteen who died suddenly due to illness (the twelfth prince was very angry about this).
However, Master Kang would definitely not agree, after all, his educational philosophy is that children need to exercise in the midst of storms and rains, so that they can grow up...
[Okay, just be happy, and don't cry when your sons die. 】
【Anyway, it's not you who will die, just your sons, there are plenty of them, they can die at will...】
Mo Yu helplessly listened to Master Kang's "parenting tips" while silently complaining in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Master Kang suddenly stopped talking, looking like he had eaten a bitter melon. After being stunned for a moment, I don't know what he thought of, but he waved his hand very calmly and gave up the crazy idea of taking the Seventeenth Prince on a tour.
The poor Seventeenth Prince was only seven years old. If he was taken out like this, he might be the second Eighteenth Prince.
Thinking of the Eighteenth Prince who was taken out for a tour at the age of only five, and then unfortunately died on the way at the age of seven due to acclimatization, Mo Yu shuddered silently.
Then she looked at the listless Seventeenth Prince and muttered to herself.
[Stay in the palace, little cicada. If you go out at such a young age, you might die.]
[Goodbye. And you’re welcome.]
Mo Yuxing left the study room in a hurry. Although it was tiring to accompany the emperor on patrol, he really didn’t want to go to work anymore—although this shift was easy, it was still work. It was better to go out and play.
He was not Master Kang, who had to work when he went out. He went out to play.
Thinking of this, she seemed to feel happier.
But why did she feel that even Master Kang was not very happy? It does
n’t matter. Who knows what these people are thinking about every day. Anyway, each of them is a shrewd person, and their tricks are too deep, so he won't play with them.
So the Seventeenth Prince stayed behind, and the Sixteenth Prince, who is now nine years old, became the youngest prince in the entire escort team .
As for why he is nine years old, it is of course because the age here is calculated according to virtual age.
Even Mo Yu was counted as six years old, which is really not too young.
It is exactly the same age as the Eighteenth Prince when he first accompanied the emperor on a tour.
Mo Yu really seriously suspected that he was regarded as a substitute for the Eighteenth Prince.
Thinking of the cute little bun face of the Eighteenth Prince, who is only three years old now, Mo Yu sighed silently and felt that it would not be impossible to replace him.
Anyway, he is a person who may be wiped out by the plot at any time, so it is not impossible to replace him with one at the extreme.
Mo Yu silently prepared himself mentally, and then set off under the complicated gazes of Master Kang and others.
The number of military convoys accompanying the tour this time was the same as recorded in history.
There were seven princes accompanying him, including the eldest prince, the crown prince, the eighth prince, the thirteenth prince, the fourteenth prince, the fifteenth prince, and the sixteenth prince.
Including Mo Yu, there were eight children in total.
However, the thirteenth prince and the fourteenth prince were already fifteen years old, and the fifteenth prince was already twelve years old. Only the sixteenth prince and Mo Yu were still little kids under ten years old.
Fortunately, the sixteenth prince was in good health and lived a long life, otherwise Mo Yu would have definitely found a way to ruin this mission - just like he had ruined the seventeenth prince.
After all, this kind of thing is no joke. Being willful will really make you sick, and if you get sick, you will really die...
As for the crown prince, the eldest prince, and the eighth prince, they are already adults, and they even have sons, so their safety factor is definitely much higher.
Even if something really happens, they will have successors.
For example, didn't the crown prince fall ill in Dezhou in the autumn of the year before last? He
was so seriously ill at the time, didn't he look like he was going to die?
Master Kang is probably thinking about which other son to let succeed him.
Although the crown prince already has a legitimate son, Hongxi, Hongxi is still young after all. He is only a few years old, and whether he can be raised is secondary. Even if he can be raised, who has the patience to wait for him to grow up?
Anyway, his uncles will definitely not be able to wait.
Even Master Kang couldn't guarantee that he could wait that long - the Crown Prince wouldn't work, so it would be better to appoint another Crown Prince. He
was mentally prepared, but the Crown Prince actually survived, which was embarrassing.
Fortunately, Master Kang now thinks that the Crown Prince only has some minor problems, and they are not serious enough to depose him, so this surface balance can be maintained for the time being.
When he feels that the Crown Prince is hopeless, then he will finally turn against him.
Calculating the time, it's only a few years.
So now, it's better for the father to continue the loving relationship with the son.
Mo Yu looked at Master Kang and the Crown Prince who were chatting and laughing at the front of the team, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
Then he saw the two of them suddenly stiffen, and then quickly separate. The others also had constipated expressions, which made Mo Yu feel that there must be something going on between the two... Are they really
playing some kind of love-hate drama?
It really is...
City knows how to play.
So, while eating melons and complaining, they soon arrived at the first place of residence.
Tangshan.
It is also the first stop that must be passed every time from Changchun Garden to the frontier.
Since it was not the first time for Mo Yu to come here, he was not unfamiliar with it, and then he felt more bored because of the familiarity.
Fortunately, Master Kang still arranged a program. The weather was hot, and everyone was enjoying the cool air in the yard. They did see some night scenes of fireflies flying everywhere.
I got up early the next morning and rushed to travel like crazy. I stayed in Huairou County at night.
In this way, for ten days in a row, the entire army was on the road during the day and stationed at night.
There was really no time to rest.
When Mo Yu was complaining that this was simply exploiting child labor, Master Kang finally stopped and prepared to rest.
On June 18th, they stationed at Anziling.
There is a small palace here that is slightly larger than the post station.
It is called a palace, but in fact it is just a courtyard that is slightly larger than the post station.
Master Kang lived in the courtyard with several princes and Mo Yu, and the other ministers and guards who accompanied them were stationed around, still using marching tents. It can be said that the conditions were quite harsh.
There is no way, many of them are the people that Master Kang brings with him on his tours, and everyone has actually been accustomed to Master Kang's lifestyle for a long time - he is really a long-lived master living somewhere else.
Well, as long as he is happy.
Who asked us to be servants?
In this simple little palace, Mo Yu watched the grand ceremony of the Mongolian prince's homage.
Karaqintai Jigerer and others came to pay homage.
They brought the special products of their own flags and made a special trip to offer tribute to Master Kang. By the way, report on this year's work tasks and next year's work arrangements - if they were not in the same time and space, Mo Yu suddenly thought he was listening to a work meeting in the real world.
It seems that this kind of thing of asking for instructions in the morning and reporting in the evening has been the same from ancient times to the present, and it seems that there is not much work to do, but in the end, there is nothing to do.
Fortunately, Master Kang is relatively decisive. Once the leaders of these Mongolian tribes tend to take the topic further and further, he will directly bring the topic back. Only then did he meet with all these leaders within one day and send them all away properly.
They stayed in this simple little palace for three days. In addition to meeting with the Mongolian princes, Master Kang also took a short stroll around.
Mo Yu followed the fifteenth and sixteenth princes at the end of the team boredly. He always felt that the sixteenth prince seemed to be hesitant to speak.
But if he didn't say it, Mo Yu would not take the initiative to ask.
Later, the Fifteenth Prince couldn't stand it anymore, so he started talking to Mo Yu directly.
The Fifteenth Prince was the first son of the princess, and the oldest prince who was excluded from the Nine Princes' Succession because of his age.
Because his mother was a Jiangnan beauty, the Fifteenth Prince, like the Sixteenth Prince, had some of the handsome temperament of a Jiangnan talent.
But when he opened his mouth, he still had the breath of the grassland.
"Lin Moyu, how do you feel today? Are you tired or uncomfortable?"
This was a question about his health.
Mo Yu hurriedly shook his head and replied politely: "Thank you for asking, Fifteenth Prince. I am not feeling unwell and I don't feel tired."
The Fifteenth Prince smiled: "I see you talking and laughing with other princes on weekdays, how come you have nothing to say to me now?"
Mo Yu smiled and apologized, thinking that the Fifteenth Prince had already gone to study in the big class next door, and usually didn't communicate with the children in their small class. What happened today?
The Fifteenth Prince showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He glanced at the Sixteenth Prince and finally gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, I will speak frankly."
Mo Yu nodded and said, "Please go ahead, Fifteenth Master." The
Fifteenth Prince then expressed his request. Of course, judging from the appearance, it must be the Sixteenth Prince's as well.
It turned out that the two brothers wanted to bring some gifts back to their mother, the Princess, but they didn't know what to bring.
Such a small matter actually made the two princes so embarrassed, which really surprised Mo Yu.
Fortunately, this matter was not difficult for Mo Yu at all. He quickly provided the two princes with a lot of suggestions for choice.
There are no markets or transactions in this remote countryside, so it's just a matter of making some special little things to show your thoughts.
What could be more popular than the local wild flowers and weeds?
Following Mo Yu's suggestion, one of them got some flower seeds and the other got a dried flower bookmark, and then they dispersed happily.
Originally, Mo Yu wanted to teach them how to make leaf vein bookmarks.
This place is located on the border between Jizhou and Mongolia, and there are many large-leafed trees. It would be very convenient to get a few large leaves to make some leaf vein bookmarks.
But Mo Yu looked at the clumsy fingers of the two princes and thought it would be better to give up the idea. It would be better to make something simpler, which would be equally meaningful. There was no need to torture themselves for such a small thing.
The two little princes happily took the gift materials they prepared for their mother and went back to the room.
It seemed as if listening to the two little brothers mumbling about making a set for their eighteenth brother, nineteenth brother and nineteenth sister...
Mo Yu was a little speechless about this, and once again felt fortunate that he did not bother to teach them how to make leaf vein bookmarks - making this thing really tests one's attentiveness and finger dexterity, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.
The most important thing is that it will make him, the "master", very tired.
That's not necessary. It's
so good now, after just sending these two brothers away, it's just right to steal half a day of leisure.
Mo Yu happily turned over and lay down, feeling the breeze and looking at the large field outside the palace. It was so comfortable.
Unexpectedly, he didn't enjoy it for long before he found something wrong.
Why are there holes in the grass leaves in the field?
No wonder he suddenly thought of the "leaf vein bookmarks" just now. It turns out that there are already some ready-made ones in front of him?
Then why did all the good leaves become "leaf vein bookmarks"?
Mo Yu suddenly became interested and simply walked a few steps closer to carefully observe the leaves.
It was not a big deal to take a look at them, but he was almost scared to sit on the ground.
It turned out that there were a lot of locusts crawling densely on those leaves, and the holes on the leaves were all bitten by locusts.
Those locusts were very big, and they didn't run or move when they saw people coming. They just lay on the grass leaves and gnawed them frantically. If you listen carefully, you can even hear a "crackling" sound.
Mo Yu stood there and relaxed a little. He was thinking about turning around and leaving quickly, but unexpectedly at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he remembered something.
