The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

At four quarters of Yin time, Zhao Yao, who was soundly asleep, was shaken awake by the fourth prince.He opened his eyes and looked at the fourth prince in a daze: "Fourth brother, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yao who just woke up is very cute, and the fourth prince's heart softens when he sees it.

"Tenth brother, it's time to get up."

"Fourth brother, let me sleep for a while." Zhao Yao turned his back to the fourth prince and continued to sleep.

The fourth prince reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's small nose. Zhao Yao woke up because he couldn't breathe.

Zhao Yao opened his eyes, stared fiercely at the fourth prince, and complained: "Fourth brother, you bullied me!"

"Tenth brother, the father will be here later, you have to get up." After the fourth prince finished speaking, he directly lifted Zhao Yao's quilt.Then, he picked up Zhao Yao who was still lying on the bed.

"Fourth brother, hasn't the father come yet, let me sleep for a while." It's only Yin time now.

"No, father is already on his way to Hulong Temple." The fourth prince picked up Zhao Yao, and then dressed him himself.

Zhao Yao was so sleepy that he was led by the fourth prince to wash in the next ear room.He didn't wake up until after washing up.

Wei Mian and Tong Xi had brought breakfast from the kitchen of Hulong Temple.

Zhao Yao yawned with his mouth wide open while eating breakfast.

"Tenth brother, when you are praying later, you can't keep yawning like you are doing now."

"Fourth brother, I'm sleepy." Zhao Yao said and yawned again, "I've never woken up so early since I was a child." Before Zhao Yao was enlightened, because he was young, he didn't come to Hulong Temple to serve him. The queen prayed for blessings before.This year is his first visit to Hulong Temple to pray for the late queen.

The fourth prince was amused by Zhao Yao's "from childhood to adulthood": "How old are you."

"I'm six years old. I've grown up compared to last year. Why can't I say that I grew up from a young age."

The fourth prince said sternly: "When you pray for blessings later, if you are still sleepy, you can pinch yourself." If the tenth brother was sleepy and yawned during the memorial ceremony of the former queen, and was seen by others, he would definitely be said to be disrespectful to the former queen , Unfilial to the first queen.

"I can only do this." Zhao Yao muttered, "Fourth brother, why did you pray so early?"

"Maoshi is an auspicious time, so it is natural to pray at an auspicious time." The fourth prince said softly, "Besides, the sooner you pray, the better."

Zhao Yao suddenly thought that Emperor Wu of Zhou got up earlier than him, and he immediately regained his mental balance, stopped complaining, and continued to eat breakfast obediently.

Fortunately, Hulong Temple's vegetarian meals and vegetarian dishes are delicious, which made up for the pain that Zhao Yaotian hadn't come to light up yet.

"Tenth brother, eat more, so that you won't be hungry before noon." Today is a day to pray for the late queen.At noon, the fourth prince and the others will take turns to have lunch.After lunch, continue to pray for the first queen in the Daxiong Hall until the end of the evening.

"Ah, can't we rest and eat until noon?"

The fourth prince nodded lightly: "You can't eat during the blessing period."

Zhao Yao was frightened by these words, and his small expression instantly became very serious: "Then I should eat more." After speaking, regardless of sleepiness, he lowered his head and started eating.

The fourth prince also ate a lot, drank two bowls of porridge, ate two steamed buns, and ate two pieces of sesame seed cakes, which made his stomach a little full.But Zhao Yao only ate three bowls of porridge, four steamed buns and three sesame seed cakes.

Although he already knew that Zhao Yao could eat, the fourth prince was still surprised by Zhao Yao's appetite.

After breakfast, Zhao Yao went next door to visit the Eighth Prince.The eighth prince didn't wake up.

After Zhao Yao told Yu Hai to take good care of the eighth prince, he went to the Daxiong Palace with the fourth prince.

The eminent monks have arrived, wearing cassocks, holding Buddhist beads, sitting cross-legged in front of the Lord Buddha, with a solemn and sacred expression.

Zhao Yao counted, a total of ninety-nine and 81 eminent monks.It is said that they are all eminent monks with high morals and high prestige.

The ministers also arrived, but they did not enter the Daxiong Hall, but stood at the gate of the Daxiong Hall.

Not long after Zhao Yao and the others arrived, Dai Wang and the third prince arrived.

After all the princes sat cross-legged, they heard the voice of saluting to Emperor Wu of Zhou from outside.

The prince stood up with all the princes and saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand to signal for the princes to sit down.Then, he sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue.On both sides behind him are ninety-nine and eighty-one eminent monks.

Empress Xie took the concubines to the Guanyin Hall, where the queen prayed for blessings in the Guanyin shop.

After a while, the bell of Hulong Temple rang, a total of 49 times, which was the bell to pray for the late queen.

When the first bell rang, the eminent monks in the Daxiong Hall began to chant scriptures and pray for the queen.

With his eyes closed, Emperor Wu of Zhou chanted sutras and prayed for the empress with a very pious expression.

While chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, Zhao Yao quietly observed his imperial brothers.I saw that his imperial brothers were very devout, as if they were really praying for blessings sincerely.

I have to say that his brothers' acting skills are very good.

The elder brother of the crown prince was assassinated, and the second elder brother was the most likely to be suspected. I am afraid that many people think he did it, and the elder brother of the prince probably also thought that the second elder brother sent someone to assassinate him.

Being suspected by everyone, the second brother was calm and not panicked at all.However, having said that, the assassin was not sent by the second brother, of course he was calm.

Even if it wasn't done by the second brother, isn't the second brother afraid that someone will frame him?

The emperor asked Zhen Guogong and General Shen to investigate the assassins together. It is impossible for Zhen Guogong to do nothing.With Zhen Guogong's means, even if the second brother didn't do it, he would make the second brother suspicious.

Even if the second brother didn't do it, once the second brother is really suspected, even if the second brother jumps into the Yellow River, he won't be able to clean up.

As for the third brother and the others...forget it.

But mynah... what on earth is he trying to do.Also, where did he come from as a dead man?

Over the past few years, myna has been attached to the prince's elder brother, and how many things have he done secretly.Also, how much power the starling has planned for himself in private.

The starling is only in his teens, but he actually planned so many things for himself, and he hid it very well. It's really... too monstrous.

He always thought that the fourth brother was the smartest among all the emperor brothers, but now he found that the starling was the smartest.The fourth brother is indeed outstanding in reading, but he is not as good as the starling in terms of government affairs.

Although he didn't know what the starling had done in the past few years, judging from the assassination this time, the starling had done a lot, and it was very likely that he had set up a net to catch many people or forces.

To be honest, even he couldn't do what Starling did.

Mynah is the most intelligent and close to the demon in the legend.

With Starling's cleverness and means, no one is his opponent.Don't look at the fierce battle between the prince's brother and the second brother, the final winner is definitely not them, nor the third brother.

For the fourth brother, it is possible to give it a try with the starling.However, he felt that the fourth brother was not as vicious as the starling brother, and maybe he would not be the opponent of the starling brother in the end.There is also another possibility, the starling was too vicious, and in the end he was trapped in a cocoon and lost to the fourth brother.

Both the fourth brother and the starling are very kind to him.Although he didn't want the fourth brother and the starling to be enemies, they would definitely become enemies in the future, unless one of them gave up fighting for that seat.

Neither the starling nor the fourth brother had made it obvious that they wanted to compete for the seat, but he knew they both wanted it.

As a prince, I feel that I am honorable and capable, so why can't I fight for that seat.

A prince who doesn't want to compete for that seat is not a good prince.

There is no prince who does not want to sit in that seat.

Except for him of course, he is not as ambitious as the emperor brother and the others.He really felt that there was no benefit in sitting in that seat, and he was exhausted.

In the future, whether it is the fourth brother or the starling who takes that seat, his life will be easier.

As for the competition between the fourth brother and the starling for that seat in the future, he had better not get involved.Besides, it's beyond his control.In the end, if one of them lost, he would intercede for him.

Zhao Yao just thought about these things for a while and felt a headache, so he collected his thoughts and didn't think about these things again.He is just a simple child who knows nothing and understands nothing.

After closing his eyes and reciting the scriptures for a while, Zhao Yao felt sleepy. He quickly pinched his thigh, and accidentally pinched it so hard that he almost cried out in pain.

The fourth prince noticed Zhao Yao's actions and almost couldn't help laughing.

This pinch temporarily pinched the drowsiness away, and Zhao Yao continued to pretend to be pious and chant scriptures and pray for blessings.

In the prince's courtyard, the eighth prince woke up.

Yu Hai just received the letter and showed it to him.

After the Eighth Prince read the letter, his brows immediately frowned, and his pale face instantly became serious.

Seeing his expression, Yu Hai hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Highness, what happened?"

The eighth prince handed the letter to Yu Hai, asking him to burn it on a candle.

Yu Hai didn't read the contents of the letter, so he directly took it and burned it.

"I didn't expect my father to know that the rebellion in Yangzhou is different." The eighth prince said with a smile on his face, "My father is my father."

Yu Hai was shocked by the Eighth Prince's words: "Your Highness, the Emperor already knew about Yangzhou's affairs?"

"I'm afraid Father sent Xie Shi to Yangzhou to quell the rebellion. It's a cover." The Eighth Prince said weakly, "Father is really scheming."

Yu Hai panicked unknowingly: "Your Highness, the emperor knows about Yangzhou's affairs, so isn't what we did exposed?" Your Highness, why are you so calm.

"Father only noticed something different about the rebellion in Yangzhou, but nothing else." The Eighth Prince said calmly, "We didn't notice anything about it."

Hearing this, Yu Hai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and his face became tense again, "Your Highness, will the people from Yangzhou betray you? ?”

"No." The Eighth Prince said very firmly, "That person doesn't know who I am."

"That's right, it's because the slaves are worrying too much." Yu Hai asked again, "Your Highness, since the emperor has noticed that something is wrong in Yangzhou, what should we do next?"

"Let them stop, and then kill those people." The eighth prince said these words calmly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Thinking about General Ning Yuan, Yu Hai asked again, "Your Highness, what about General Ning Yuan?"

"According to the original plan." The Eighth Prince thought about the fact that Kong Taichang's youngest daughter had secretly become a monk, and ordered Yu Hai, "Tomorrow, the Dai Wang will know that Kong Yao secretly became a monk in the Bodhi Temple."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The eighth prince couldn't bear it after talking for a short while, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yu Hai walked to the bed and carefully tucked the quilt for the Eighth Prince.

Seeing the Eighth Prince's face with no blood at all, Yu Hai's eyes were full of distress.

His Highness's health was not good in the first place, but this time he suffered such a serious injury, I'm afraid it will hurt the foundation, and he may not be able to take care of it in three to five years.

Alas, His Highness is really too cruel to himself.

Zhao Yao: Mynah, people who are too smart don't live long.
