A Thousand Hills

Chapter 131

What's wrong, brothers?
Brothers are fine...

Brothers are just a little more affectionate...

The elder brothers hugged their heads and cried for a while. Emperor Mu Yuan swallowed back the choked sobs in his throat, his eyes were reddish, and looked at the two eldest sons who were crying with their heads in relief, and said, "What's the matter? Fan, I have the final say. You are the only sons and daughters under my knees, and you plan to leave me if you haven't enjoyed the family relationship?"

The eldest prince stopped crying immediately, and rolled up his sleeves to wipe away his tears while saying, "My son only wishes to be able to serve his filial piety at the knees of the emperor for a long time."

The prince also has to express his position, and the prince is even more sincere and reluctant, "Ordinary people's families are so close to each other that father and son are close friends. When I think that my brothers will be far away, my son feels uncomfortable." Ah blink, that's called an expression of true feelings.

Emperor Mu Yuan was reluctant to part with his son, but he knew it in his heart, and he was determined, and tears would not change him, and said, "It's just a matter of discussing the distribution of enfeoffment first, and temporarily entrusting you to stay in the imperial capital, so that father and son brothers can be reunited. The second is that you are still young, so I don't feel at ease if you go to the feudal clan at such a young age."

As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince was determined, and the prince was quite regretful.

The third prince looked warm and warm, "I used to feel pretty good, but when I wanted to leave my father, I felt as if I had nothing to rely on, and I don't know what to do?"

Prince: Hearing what the third child said, those who don’t know can think that you haven’t been weaned!Do you want to give you two wet nurses?

The fourth prince also said, "That's right, the son and his daughter-in-law live far away, so it's so deserted."

Prince: Fourth brother, dear brother, you are afraid of being deserted, so brother asks the imperial grandmother to pick a few more wives for you to accompany you~
The fifth prince was curious, and asked his father, "Father, have you agreed on where to distribute the sons?"

Prince: Sure enough, it's better to be the fifth brother, and don't dawdle at all.

Emperor Mu Yuan laughed, "It seems that you have an idea of ​​your own?"

The fifth prince grinned and didn't speak.

The prince saw that he seemed to have an idea, thought that the fifth prince was a good match, and wanted to make a move first.The prince thought he was not stingy, and joked, "If the fifth younger brother likes something, just tell the emperor directly, it must be what you want." As long as he could give it, he would persuade his father to give it.

The Fifth Prince smiled, "Anywhere is good, Beichang Mansion in the north, I heard that the place is very big, with many forests and game, and it snows for half a year, half of the houses in Beichang Mansion are built underground I think it's very good. The south is also good. Nan'an has delicious mushrooms. The west is full of cattle, sheep and horses, and the east is facing the sea. I heard that there are fish, shrimp and shells in the sea. If the matter of entrustment is approved Xin'er, please tell my father and son." Although he is reluctant to part with his father, the fifth prince does not object to the distribution of feudal titles, anyway, he can't stay in the imperial capital for the rest of his life. Nothing bad.The fifth prince really wanted to go there earlier to run his own territory.

The fifth prince is now imagining the wonderful life of being the emperor of the land, but he doesn't know that the brothers and his father look at him with suspicion. What everyone thinks is: Is the fifth child okay?Where did you pick this?

The matter of entrustment is not in a hurry. Emperor Mu Yuan felt the deep affection between father and son today, and left a few sons to eat in the palace. The sixth prince and the seventh prince also called. Although these two princes are young, they have studied for three years. four years ago.

The father, son and brothers had dinner together affectionately. Seeing that it was getting late, Emperor Mu Yuan thought that these older sons were living outside the palace, so he sent them home.The prince said a few words with Emperor Mu Yuan, sent his father back to the palace, and sent someone to send the sixth and seventh princes to rest before returning to the palace to rest.

The prince talked about today's affairs with the princess in private, and said in a low voice, "Boss is used to putting on a show."

Wu said with a smile, "The eldest prince used to think he was an abrupt person. Last time at the gate of the palace, he said something wrong with the fifth sibling, which made the fifth sibling very angry. I don't know who gave it to the Qiaozong who presented the painting today." The eldest prince came up with an idea."

One sentence reminded the prince, the prince bent his fingers and tapped his knees lightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's time to check."

Mrs. Wu persuaded again, "Actually, if you want me to say that it is the righteousness of father and son that His Royal Highness is reluctant to abandon his father. Think about it, Your Highness, if His Royal Highness said to divide the feudal title, His Royal Highness would immediately go to the feudal clan with joy, and it would not be wrong." Such a thing is not. What's more, father has always treated us very well. The hearts of parents in the world are mostly the same."

"Yes, although there are laws of the country, depending on what the father wants, we still have to keep them in the imperial capital for a while." The prince said, "The fourth and fifth brothers are okay, even the third brother is also a soft person. The elder brother has always been a soft person. He is the oldest among the brothers, he is used to being the leader of everything, and his father appointed me as the East Palace, so he is not convinced how much."

"When His Majesty ascended the throne, even King Jingjiang would not be convinced. If you are not convinced, what's the use of the trachea, if you don't have this fate, you don't have this fate."

The prince smiled, "Forget it, you are right, parents in the world love each other, and we also have sons, so I have to be considerate of my father's wishes."

The prince and the concubine commented on the brothers in the palace, while the fourth prince was genuinely worried about the IQ of his fifth brother, so he took the fifth prince's hand and got into his own car. It was dark and cold, and the prince's car was packed very comfortably. As soon as he got into the car, the fifth prince's personal servant brought two cups of hangover soup, the fourth prince handed one to the fifth prince, and ate one himself, saying, "The fifth younger sibling is really a considerate person."

The fifth prince laughed, showing the air of being a family member, and said, "Women are just going to deal with such trivial matters."

The fourth prince smacked the hangover soup from the fifth prince's mansion, "Don't be cheap and act like a good boy. Your hangover soup seems to be better than mine."

"Plum soup mixed with sucrose water, the fourth brother likes it, I will ask her to send the recipe to the fourth sister-in-law tomorrow."

The two brothers drank the hangover soup, put a charcoal basin in the car, and their bodies gradually warmed up. They chatted a few gossips, and the fourth prince said to his brother, "Fifth brother, you are really good. Land, ordinary officials are not willing to go there, saying that there are many savages who do not obey the education, they are all exiled by criminal ministers, and they are exiled to Beichang Mansion to suffer. Not to mention Nan'an Prefecture, your fourth sister-in-law lived in Nan'an Prefecture Well, there is nothing good about it, except that the girls there often wear clothes that show their arms in summer. Let me tell you, the weather there is not very good. Not to mention Ximian, Princess Yi’an’s father, King Jin It’s dead on the west side, but the east side is facing the sea, and only those who are near the sea are poor. I heard that the people on the seaside have nothing to eat except rotten fish and shrimp all year round. From time to time, pirates come ashore to plunder. Don’t you I can't think about it, Father has always loved us so much, if we want to divide it, we'd better divide it into a fertile and peaceful land, if we can meet a good place that produces tea, silk and salt, then we can eat and drink for a lifetime."

The fifth prince said honestly, "Everyone wants a good place, but I thought, there are brothers on top. The first eldest brother is the longest among the brothers, and the fiefdom of the eldest brother must be the best among our brothers. Three Needless to say, brother, I have my own concubine to plan for the third brother. My mother and concubine have never understood these things, and they can't talk about it in the palace. To tell the truth, the fourth brother, since Zhao Guogong wrote the book, the younger brother has been thinking about the distribution of the entrustment. A few days ago, I read in a history book that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty entrusted the heroes. Xiao He, as the three great heroes in the early Han Dynasty, was entrusted by Gaozu. He only wanted the barren land that others did not want. We have to think deeply about future generations. If your descendants are more worthy than you and me, you and I don’t need to worry about them; if your descendants are not as good as you and me, and the land is poorer, it is easier to preserve it.”

The fourth prince has always felt that this younger brother is too real, and after hearing this, he knows that this younger brother has far-reaching insights, beyond his own reach.The fourth prince cupped his hands solemnly, "Fifth brother said this, brother has been educated."

The fifth prince laughed, "Fourth brother is just laughing at me. We brothers live together, and fourth brother treats me with sincerity. How can I not treat fourth brother with sincerity. Hey..." The fifth prince sighed again, and the lights turned on. In the twilight, the two brothers looked at each other, and the fourth prince also sighed. Both of them felt that the behavior of the eldest prince and the crown prince today is really better than the early separation of feudal domains.

Zhuangzi in the other courtyard of the two is not far away, so the fourth prince sent the fifth prince back to the other courtyard first, and then returned by himself.

The fourth concubine knew that there was a meal left in the palace today, so she ate dinner first.The fourth prince brought ice and snow into the house, and the fourth prince and concubine stood up to greet him, took off the mink fur cloak on him personally, and asked, "Is it snowing outside?"

"It was still cold when I came out of the palace, but just now, snowflakes started to float up." The fourth prince took off his cloak, and the maid brought a warm water towel. The fourth prince washed his hands, wiped his face, and changed into a homely warm robe. , asked, "Where is the son?"

The fourth prince and concubine glanced at the cubicle and smiled, "Just coaxed me to sleep."

The fourth prince took his wife's hand to look at it once. Seeing his son's face flushed while sleeping, he loved him even more. He stretched out his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, which made the little guy impatiently stretch out his fist and turn over. body, the wet nurse stared at the fourth prince with some reproach.The fourth prince slapped off her husband's hand, and the two of them went out of the compartment. The fourth prince said for the thousand and first time, "I think Brother Xu has a tall nose and big eyes, and he is very handsome." It's his fifth younger brother. , insisting that brother Xu of his family has a short nose.The fourth prince wanted to ask the fifth prince again, where is he short?Obviously not short at all!
The fourth prince was funny, and asked him if he wanted some more food, and said, "The venison is stewed, and the taste is not bad."

Dining in the palace has always been well-regulated, and you have to listen to the six ways and see all directions. The fourth prince did not eat too much, so he nodded, and his life was a little better.

The maid put out six or seven hot dishes and two or three kinds of soup, and the fourth concubine served him some. It was getting late, and there was only one kind of entertainment at night these days, so the husband and wife went to rest earlier.

The fourth prince and his wife talked about the entrustment, and then they talked about the fifth prince, "Fifth brother is a man of great wisdom. Don't look at the big brother jumping up and down, let me say that he is not as good as the fifth brother."

Mrs. Hu quietly listened to what her husband said about this matter, and said, "What the fifth prince said is reasonable, let alone others, my wife thought about it, when the father is in power, the father will never lose us But think about it. In the future, when the princes and grandchildren are in groups, everyone will love their own flesh and blood. It’s strange that the old saying goes that a loss is a blessing. It’s really not necessary to always think about the best. Whether we are entrusted, whether it is fat or thin, it is the grace of the court."

After repeating this, the husband and wife lost their desire to be strong.

Otherwise, even though the fourth prince's mother died young, the fourth prince's concubine was surnamed Hu, and her father was the Marquis of Nan'an, if they really wanted to fight, they might not be able to win a fertile land.

The fifth prince has always discussed everything with his wife, and the distribution of entrustment is no exception. Xie Moru heard what the fourth prince said, and Xie Moru said, "What your highness said is, and what your highness said, maybe others think it's hard work." , I think they are all good places. Even if it is not for future generations, I also think those places are good. I just don’t know when His Majesty will divide the fiefs. If the eldest prince interferes like this, the feudal affairs will not work in a short time. mentioned."

The fifth prince laughed, "I didn't know that elder brother is such a sentimental person~"

Xie Moru glanced at the fifth prince, and smiled meaningfully, the fifth prince also smiled, pinched his daughter-in-law's hand, and scraped lightly on the palm.
