On the side, the seventh prince Zhao Hongsheng was immersed in studying.
Hearing the commotion on Zhao Hongming's side, he turned his head and looked over, with a bit of envy in his eyes.
Born into a royal family, with the temptation of the throne, the relationship between brothers is the weakest.
Whenever there was a chance, everyone would squeeze in with their heads sharpened.
A powerless prince like the fifth brother Zhao Hongming was left free and at ease.
I heard that his father even asked him to go to the Cangwu Tower.
It's hard to imagine that if he went to the Zangwu Building to study martial arts, his mother-in-law would probably beat him half to death when she found out.
"The sage uses his enlightenment to make others enlighten; now he uses his faintness to make others enlighten."
The sound of the fourth prince Zhao Hongli reading was so loud that he pulled Zhao Hongsheng back from his thoughts. He stopped looking at Zhao Hongming and continued to study hard.
His mother told him that when a man lives in heaven and earth, he must nourish his aura and benefit all people.
And the prerequisite for all this is to be crowned Dabao.
Hearing that his father recently had the idea of re-electing an heir, he couldn't relax at all.
Zhao Hongming, who was sitting at the back, noticed the seventh prince's gaze and said nothing.
The brotherhood between him and these princes was almost limited to the study room and the palace walls.
When they reach the age of fifteen, except for some princes who are allowed to stay in Daliang, the capital of Wei, the rest of the princes will open houses and become kings.
When the time comes, we are so far apart that we may not see each other for several years, so what kind of relationship can we still have?
Maybe they will turn against each other because of some interests in the future.
Therefore, it is unwise to spend too much energy on maintaining this so-called brotherhood.
After a while, it was almost time.
Sun Xueshi, who was teaching in the study room today, came in and prepared for today's teaching.
But before teaching, he will do a pre-get out of class inspection.
Basically, it is what I learned yesterday, and I am required to recite it word for word.
This link has never had anything to do with Zhao Hongming.
Because he was not taken seriously in his previous life and had only a partial understanding of these classics of benevolence and righteousness, asking questions was in vain. These Confucian scholars had long since given up.
Still the same as before, Xueshi Sun randomly checked the fourth and seventh princes.
The two of them knew each other backwards and forwards.
Xueshi Sun repeatedly praised the two for their intelligence and hard work.
After the random inspection was over, Xueshi Sun began today's classwork: [Keming Junde, kissing the nine tribes]
In class, Xueshi Sun spoke eloquently, but Zhao Hongming couldn't arouse the slightest interest.
He briefly summarized that the core idea of this class is the responsibility of the royal family, which is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
In order for people to live and work in peace and contentment, we must first have a harmonious family and respectful brothers and sisters. See the country through your family, see the great through the small.
Similarly, he didn't know how much he had learned in his previous life, and he was already a little tired of it.
Time passed bit by bit.
After staying up until Chen hour and practicing calligraphy for a while, today's morning class is over.
As usual, Zhao Hongming was going to the harem to pay his respects.
At this time, the fourth prince Zhao Hongli, who did not have much communication on weekdays, suddenly stopped him: "Fifth brother."
Zhao Hongming paused and looked at Zhao Hongli doubtfully.
The latter asked with a bright smile: "I heard that fifth brother really wants to practice martial arts?"
Zhao Hongming didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he said, "Just practice and keep fit."
"That's fine, maybe practicing martial arts will also be of great benefit to the fifth brother." Zhao Hongli shouted loudly: "Xiao Xuanzi, quickly bring the things I prepared."
It's like being prepared outside.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch walked in holding a square box.
"Fifth brother is practicing martial arts. I have nothing to say." Zhao Hongli picked up the square box and said, "This is a marrow-cleansing pill that can help martial artists open their veins. I think it will be helpful to fifth brother's practice. I just have one today." And brought it here.”
Zhao Hongming's mind moved slightly, and he immediately understood Zhao Hongli's intention.
This is using him to gain prestige.
Just learned [Ke Mingjun De, Qin Nine Clans] today, and he immediately came up with the idea of 'Putting what you have learned into practice'.
The purpose is almost written on his face.
Sure enough, when Sun Xueshi, who had not yet left, saw this scene, his faces got together and he smiled like an old chrysanthemum, feeling that his teaching today was very successful.
There was a lot of approval in his eyes when he looked at the Fourth Prince.
If the fourth prince works a little better later, maybe he will be known as a 'kin brother' this afternoon.
The Seventh Prince on the side was a little younger after all, so he didn't take this into consideration. He was a little annoyed, knowing that he was outshined by the Fourth Prince today.
Zhao Hongming knew that with his current resources, it was really not that easy to get this marrow cleansing pill.
Since someone has been 'used', it is appropriate to receive some 'remuneration'.
He didn't make this situation clear and maintained his "student scumbag" persona.
Zhao Hongming first expressed surprise, then declined and said: "The Marrow Cleansing Pill is worth a hundred gold. It's too expensive, I can't accept it."
This is to point out the value of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and to elevate Zhao Hongli's behavior, but to retreat in order to advance.
After putting so much thought into it, I even knew the content of today’s morning class in advance.
As long as Zhao Hongli is not stupid, he will definitely push the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his hand, and he will not drop it on Twitter.
The subsequent development was just as he thought.
Zhao Hongli's face became even redder, he laughed and put the Marrow Cleansing Pill on his hand.
"Our brotherhood cannot be compared to a mere marrow cleansing pill. Just accept it with peace of mind."
At this point, Zhao Hongming said no more. He accepted the marrow cleansing pill generously and said with a grateful expression, "Thank you, fourth brother."
"It doesn't matter, it's getting late. Fifth brother, I'll go over and say hello first."
"Fourth brother, please."
After he left, the eighth prince Zhao Hongguang was a little frustrated, and said quietly beside Zhao Hongming: "Fourth brother really has a lot to do, and he still makes it so fancy when giving something away."
Zhao Hongming didn't expect that Lao Ba was quite smart, and he could see some tricks at such a young age. He joked, "If you give Fifth Brother something like him, Fifth Brother won't mind either."
"Ah, then I have to rub my mother-in-law again."
Zhao Hongming flicked Zhao Hongguang's head with his fingers: "I'm teasing you, but you take it seriously."
…
Zhao Hongming walked out of the study room, looked at the blue sky, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Sometimes being a prince is really hard.
Not only do I have to get up early to attend morning classes, but I also have to travel to various palaces to greet the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Emperor Father.
All year round, there is almost no time to stop.
After greetings, we started to have breakfast. After breakfast, we continued to study classics and history in the academy in the morning. In the afternoon, we studied riding, archery, martial arts, and the art of war.
This tossing will only end at around 5pm in Youshi.
Zhao Hongming is a little better now. He is practicing martial arts. In the afternoon, he only needs to learn the art of war, and the rest of the time is left to his own control.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is a sign that the emperor has given up.
After all, there is not much hope in martial arts for the royal children. If they don't work hard in palace studies, they won't be able to achieve anything in the future.
But Zhao Hongming had his own plans.
He had seen the map before.
Outside the Wei Dynasty, there are wolves around.
The better positions have long been allocated.
If he becomes a king in the future, without the support of his mother and concubine, he will most likely go to some dangerous place.
If you don't have any strength, you will die no matter where you go.
As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries.
Therefore, before leaving the palace to establish a palace, you must use the resources in the palace to improve your cultivation as much as possible.
This is the royal way.
