Zhao Yao told the middle-aged man in the letter that he had returned home. Starting tonight, he would write three letters to him every morning, noon and evening to chat with him. He also wrote in the letter that the crow would be their messenger from now on.
After reading Zhao Yao's letter, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth unconsciously raised slightly. Seeing that the crow hadn't flown away, he asked, "Did you call Laiwu?"
Laiwu called out to the middle-aged man softly, as if to say: "Yes, my name is Laiwu." 】
The middle-aged man did not expect that the crow in front of him would respond to his words. He was slightly surprised and then said: "This kid really raised a crow as a messenger."
Raising crows is no longer something ordinary people can do. Unexpectedly, this child actually let crows act as messengers. This kid's ideas are really...different! Very similar to Prince Yong.
The righteous and brave prince often does things that ordinary people dare not do, and he never pays attention to secular rules.
The middle-aged man asked again: "Are you waiting for my reply?"
Laiwu barked softly again.
"Wait for me." The middle-aged man picked up the pen and began to write a reply to Zhao Yao.
Laiwu stood obediently on the table, quietly waiting for the middle-aged man to write a letter.
Soon, the middle-aged man wrote a reply. He didn't write much in the letter, he just told Zhao Yao to study hard and read "Spring and Autumn".
The middle-aged man rolled up the letter and tied it to Laiwu's leg.
Laiwu glanced at him, then flapped his wings and flew away.
Seeing Laiwu's figure disappear in the dark night, the middle-aged man chuckled unconsciously. This messenger crow is as spiritual as the child.
After a while, Lai Wufei returned to Kunde Hall.
Zhao Yao had just finished dinner when he saw Laiwu Fei coming back. He hurriedly stepped forward, hugged him and touched his little head.
"Lai Wu, thank you for your hard work."
【Not hard, not hard at all. ] Lai Wu said happily, [Yao Yao, the owner of the house doesn’t seem so strange. 】
"Uncle is not a weird person to begin with." Zhao Yao untied the letter from Lai Wu's lap, opened it, and immediately his little face wrinkled up and he said with a puffed face, "How come even uncle wants me to study hard?" ah?"
At this time, Liang Zhaoyi walked in and happened to hear his words. She chuckled and said, "Because I don't want to correspond with a fool who doesn't like reading."
Zhao Yao retorted unconvinced: "Mother, although I don't like reading, it doesn't mean that I am a fool."
"Not studying will make you slowly become stupid." Liang Zhaoyi said, "Didn't you say that the uncle you know is a very powerful person? He must have read a lot of books. In the future, you will write letters and chat, I said What should you do if you don’t understand what I’m saying?”
Zhao Yao had never thought about this issue.
"My mother-in-law has told you before that the more powerful people are, the more they like to read." Liang Zhaoyi continued, "If you want to become good friends with that uncle, just listen to him and study hard."
Zhao Yao curled his lips and said, "Concubine, you are trying to persuade me to study hard again."
"You don't have to listen to my mother and concubine." After Liang Zhaoyi said that, she picked up a local chronicle and started reading.
At this time, Zhao Yao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Liang Zhaoyi: "Mother and concubine, do you know that my father asked people from Wusun to come to Dazhou to do business?"
"I heard, what's wrong?"
"Wouldn't Wusun be occupied by the Xiongnu during the previous dynasty? How could the Huns allow Wusun to communicate with the Zhou Dynasty?"
"Wusun has broken away from the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu were divided into seven tribes due to internal fighting, and each of these seven tribes became kings."
"Ah, the Xiongnu split?" Zhao Yao was startled at first, and then nodded with a look of surprise on his face, "I said something must have happened to the Xiongnu, otherwise Wusun would not have the courage to associate with the Zhou Dynasty."
"Over the years, the seven tribes of the Xiongnu have fought fiercely with each other..." Liang Zhaoyi seriously told Zhao Yao about the situation of the seven tribes of the Xiongnu, as well as the new Maodun Chanyu who suddenly appeared in the past two or three years. .
After hearing this, Zhao Yao sighed: "No wonder my father wants to have a good relationship with Wusun."
"Being friendly with Wusun is good for preventing the Huns." Liang Zhaoyi said, "Wusun is next door to the Huns and can clearly understand the situation of the Huns."
"This Xinmo Dunshan is a ruthless man and very ambitious. If he is not stopped, he will annex all the tribes sooner or later." Zhao Yao said, his face became solemn, "Once all the tribes merge into the former Xiongnu, Then this new Maodun Chanyu will definitely go south to invade our great Zhou Dynasty."
Liang Zhaoyi nodded lightly, and then said gently: "Your father should have taken precautions."
Zhao Yao frowned when he thought of the cruel things the Huns had done to the people of the Central Plains, and said solemnly: "I want to learn the art of war from that uncle." Unless the Huns are eliminated, they will always threaten the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now the Huns have no intention of going south to invade the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the Huns have always coveted the Central Plains, and they may go south soon. "Concubine, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to watch "Spring and Autumn"."
He had to read "Spring and Autumn" carefully, and then pass his uncle's test, so that his uncle would teach him the art of war.
"Go ahead."
"By the way, Concubine, I'm afraid I lost the jade token." Zhao Yao said, taking out the ordinary jade token given to him by Emperor Zhou Wu from his arms, and handed it to Liang Zhaoyi, "Concubine, You'd better keep it for me."
Liang Zhaoyi asked in surprise: "You didn't return the jade tablet to the emperor?"
"I returned it, but my father told me to give it to me and to keep it safe. He also said that if I lose it, he will spread my ass." Zhao Yao said, "Concubine, please leave the jade plaque here with you. If I want to go out of the palace in the future, I will get it from you."
"Okay, my concubine will take good care of it for you." Liang Zhaoyi frowned in her heart, what does the emperor mean by this?
At this time in the imperial study, Emperor Zhou Wu received news that Zhao Yao was communicating with a middle-aged man.
"Using crows as messengers?" Emperor Zhou Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, "This brat Xiao Shi is really different in what he does."
Sun Kui said in surprise: "Crows can still deliver letters?"
"Using crows to send letters is probably only possible by that brat Xiao Shi." Emperor Wu of Zhou said to the ordinary men in guard uniforms, "There is no need to stop them from sending letters."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wu of Zhou waved his hand to the ordinary man in guard uniform, and the ordinary man in guard uniform retreated respectfully.
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid that something will happen to His Highness, so you don't want His Highness to appear in front of that person. Why are you allowing them to communicate now?"
"Do you think he will really kill Xiao Shi?" Emperor Zhou Wu chuckled, "Xiao Shi is the only person in the world who looks like Big Brother, and he is reluctant to kill Xiao Shi."
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the Tenth Highness will deliberately teach you something bad, or use His Highness to do something detrimental to you?" That prince hated the Emperor deeply because of his righteousness and bravery. Moreover, that one has been clamoring to avenge the righteous prince.
That man was imprisoned in that house and could not go anywhere to avenge the heroic prince. Now that the Tenth Highness appears in front of that person, that person might actually use the Tenth Highness to deal with the Emperor.
Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled meaningfully: "That's exactly what I wanted."
"Ah?" Sun Kui was frightened by Emperor Zhou Wu's words and said with a look of disbelief, "Your Majesty, do you want the person who taught the Tenth Highness to deal with you?" Is the Emperor crazy?
Emperor Wu of Zhou did not answer Sun Kui's question, but said with a profound expression: "He can teach me things that I cannot."
Sun Kui thought that what that man could teach could not be taught by the emperor.
The emperor's attitude towards that man had always been strange, and now it became even stranger.
What happened between the emperor, Prince Yiyong, and that person back then?
Sun Kui only stayed with Emperor Zhou Wu when he was the crown prince. He knew nothing about what happened before Emperor Wu of Zhou became the crown prince. However, it can be seen from the emperor's daily attitude that the emperor misses the eldest brother Prince Yiyong very much and respects Prince Yiyong very much. Moreover, the relationship between their brothers is very good, and it is impossible for the emperor to kill Prince Yiyong as the one said.
As a slave, he did not dare to ask others about Prince Yiyong's death in battle.
Sun Kui didn't dare to ask any more questions and stood quietly aside.
Emperor Wu of Zhou continued to review the memorial, but not long after, he was fascinated by the scene before the death of Prince Yong.
After he learned the news that his eldest brother was in trouble, he rushed there in a hurry, but he was still a step too late to save his eldest brother. When he arrived, the eldest brother was seriously injured and only breathed.
The eldest brother knows that once he dies, that person will definitely hate him and seek revenge from him. The eldest brother asked him not to kill that person, but to save that person's life. The eldest brother also said that that person is a genius, and if you keep him, he will definitely be put to great use in the future.
Even if the elder brother didn't tell him, he wouldn't kill that person, but that person had a grudge against him and would never be willing to be used by him, let alone serve him. Therefore, before Xiao Shi was born, he could only lock that person in that house.
After Xiao Shi was born, when he saw that Xiao Shi looked like his elder brother, he knew how to arrange him.
Although Xiao Shi met that person much earlier, this was not a bad thing. If there is someone who teaches Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi will definitely become outstanding in the future.
Emperor Wu of Zhou: It’s best to teach Xiao Shi the cruelty and scheming.
