Listening to the people shouting "His Royal Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old," Zhao Yao felt his blood boiling inexplicably. At this moment, he suddenly discovered why his royal brothers were all rushing to be the prince.
The fourth prince had been paying close attention to Zhao Yao. Seeing the shocked expression on his face, he thought he was frightened by so many people. He raised his hand and patted his back gently, comforting him and saying, "Don't worry about them."
Zhao Yao looked at the fourth prince blankly: "Who don't you need to care about, fourth brother?"
"The people on the roadside." The fourth prince said in a coaxing tone, "They are not scary, there is no need to be afraid of them."
After Zhao Yao heard this, he blinked blankly at first, and then he realized that the fourth prince had misunderstood him. He smiled at the fourth prince: "Fourth brother, I'm not afraid of people on the roadside, but I think the prince's brother is so majestic."
"prestige?"
Zhao Yao nodded and said: "With so many people calling the prince, brother Qiansui, isn't it majestic?"
Only then did the fourth prince understand what Zhao Yao meant. He smiled slightly and said, "Tenth brother, this is not majestic."
"Ah, it's not majestic, what is that?" Groups of people on both sides of the road knelt on the ground and saluted, shouting, "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." This scene is so spectacular, isn't it not majestic?
The fourth prince took a look at the awe and reverence on the people's faces, seriously ascended the throne and said to Zhao Yao: "This is the majesty of the Tian family."
Zhao Yao said in his heart: Isn't that the same?
The eighth prince on the side said: "Only the prince brother can be so supported by the people."
Zhao Yao pretended to be ignorant: "That prince brother is really awesome!"
The Eighth Prince smiled and said: "Brother Prince is naturally very powerful." After saying that, he turned his eyes to the crowds on both sides of the road. I saw fanaticism on the faces of many people. He laughed sarcastically in his heart and said that Marquis Xuanping spent so much effort to get all the people in the capital to take to the streets to welcome the return of the king, but he never thought that the people only saw His Highness the Crown Prince, and did not know that he would not regret it later.
"Fourth brother, eighth brother, this is the first time I've seen so many people. It's really lively." Not only were people crowded on both sides of the road, but the shops on both sides were also full of people. They all looked excited, as if they were seeing gods. This is probably the charm of imperial power.
The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "This is nothing."
The fourth prince gently patted Zhao Yao on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you weren't scared."
Hearing this, Zhao Yao pouted unconvinced and said, "Fourth brother, you underestimate me. I'm not that timid."
"Well, you're very brave."
Zhao Yao felt that the fourth prince didn't believe him, so he glared at him angrily, then turned his head and didn't bother to look at him again.
The fourth prince looked at Zhao Yao's angry look and thought it was so cute that he couldn't help but reach out and poke his little face.
Zhao Yao turned his head and opened his mouth to bite the fourth prince's finger.
The fourth prince withdrew his finger in time, allowing him to miss. The fourth prince wanted to tease Zhao Yao again, but then he thought that they were riding horses and Zhao Yao would definitely be injured if he fell off the horse, so he gave up.
It only took half an hour to ride from the palace gate to the outside of the capital. However, Zhao Yao and the others rode slowly, and it took them an hour to ride out of the capital.
At the gate of the capital city, a huge group of people stood. The ministers and guards had already arrived at the city gate and were waiting.
Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arriving with all the princes, the ministers and guards hurriedly saluted.
The prince sat on the horse, quietly waiting for the return of the king.
Zhao Yao and the others followed the prince on horseback.
When the fourth prince saw Zhao Yao staring curiously at the ministers on both sides, he considerately introduced them to him one by one.
Zhao Yao didn't know any of the ministers in the DPRK. No, he knew Duke Zhen Guo and Marquis Xuan Ping. After all, these two often entered the harem. Zhao Yao met them several times. Zhao Yao didn't know the other ministers.
Zhao Yao knew the names of many ministers, but he couldn't bear to face them. Now after listening to the fourth prince's introduction, he could face him.
The fourth prince introduced him in great detail, not only mentioning his name but also his official position. When talking about official positions, he also told Zhao Yao what he did.
Zhao Yao had never understood the official positions of the ministers. Now that he heard what the fourth prince said, he felt that it was very complicated. It’s the Sangong and the Nine Qings again, what kind of Zhongda Fu Ling, Zhong Shu Ling, and Da Shangshu...
The fourth prince saw that Zhao Yao seemed to understand what he was hearing, but he did not talk until Zhao Yao understood as usual. In his opinion, Zhao Yao was still young and it was nothing to understand these official positions for the time being. In the future, Zhao Yao will naturally understand.
"Fourth Brother, you are so powerful, you know everything." Zhao Yao said to the Eighth Prince again, "Eighth Brother is also powerful." Both Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother have not yet gone to court, but they know the ministers in the court very well. It's not like he knows nothing about the ministers of the DPRK.
The Fourth Prince smiled lightly and said, "When you grow up, you will also know."
Zhao Yao waved his hand and said: "There are so many ministers, I can't remember them. However," at this point, Zhao Yao laughed twice, "If there is any minister who cooks delicious food, then I will definitely remember it." .”
The fourth prince and the eighth prince heard this and couldn't laugh or cry.
Zhao Yao asked curiously: "Fourth brother, eighth brother, do you know which minister's family cooks delicious food?"
This question touched on the fourth prince's blind spot, and he couldn't answer it.
"I don't know which minister's food is delicious or not. However, I know that there are ministers who like to eat delicious food as much as you do."
When Zhao Yao heard this, he asked excitedly: "Who is it?"
"General Shen Huchen, he likes eating meat just like you."
Zhao Yao said with a smile: "People who like to eat delicious food and eat meat are good people, and they are all very powerful."
The fourth prince and the eighth prince were amused by Zhao Yao's "wrong reasoning": "General Shen is indeed a very powerful person, but you, tenth brother..."
Zhao Yao saw that he had been underestimated by the eighth prince, and said unconvinced: "Brother, don't bully young people into poverty. When I grow up, I will definitely be as powerful as General Shen."
"Don't bully a young man into being poor?" The fourth prince and the eighth prince heard this for the first time, and both of them looked very shocked.
"Huh, I'm young now and I don't have much ability. But when I grow up, I will definitely become powerful, so don't underestimate me."
The fourth prince smiled and said: "Don't bully young people into being poor. This is a good saying."
The eighth prince praised: "Tenth brother, these are very good words. I didn't expect you to say such good things."
He teased, "It seems that the Analects of Confucius during this period was not in vain."
Zhao Yao said in surprise: "Hey, haven't Fourth Brother and Eighth Brother heard the saying: Don't bully young people into poverty?"
"This is the first time I've heard of it."
Zhao Yao blinked in confusion, and then thought that these words were said by Zhao Yao in his dream.
"Bago, I just think you are praising me." Bago forgot that half of the Analects of Confucius he was forced to copy was copied for him by Bago.
"Of course I'm complimenting you."
Zhao Yao was a little embarrassed by the praise, scratched his head and giggled twice.
The fourth prince said: "You should study more in the future." The tenth brother is smart, but he is young now and only thinks about eating and playing, not studying, so he is a bit stupid in reading.
These words were like a curse, and Zhao Yao had a headache when he heard them. He hurriedly raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Fourth brother, you..." Before he could say anything, his body suddenly fell to the right. The Eighth Prince hurriedly supported him and asked him to sit upright with his legs tightly holding the horse's belly.
The fourth prince said, "I won't talk anymore." When it came to studying, the tenth brother looked frightened.
Zhao Yao held the reins with both hands and held the horse's belly between his legs. There is nothing on both sides of the horse's belly. It is so smooth that it will slip off the horse's back if you are not careful.
He always felt that something was wrong, that something was missing, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Zhao Yao lowered his head and stared straight at the horse's belly.
The fourth prince saw her like this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Yao shook his head towards the fourth prince.
"Is there something wrong with your horse?" the fourth prince said, looking at Zhao Yao's black jade.
Black Jade suddenly felt like a thorn in his back, and moved uneasily.
[Yao Yao, I'm fine, I haven't been drugged. 】
Zhao Yao touched Black Jade's neck comfortingly and said to the fourth prince: "Fourth brother, Black Jade is fine, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Then what are you looking at?"
"I just felt it was too slippery." While riding, he always felt something was wrong. However, something was wrong again. Just now, he felt something was wrong again.
Slippery... can't be clamped...
While Zhao Yao was thinking, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind. In a flash of lightning, he finally remembered what was wrong.
The horse's belly is missing something for kicking!
In the dream, when Zhao Yao was riding a horse, there were kicking objects on both sides of the horse's belly.
