"It just looks desolate to outsiders, but to them, as my brother said before, a child is not a fish, and he knows how happy a fish is. It's all the same thing."
"Well, not bad." The eldest young master nodded with satisfaction, "Boys can be taught!"
Young Master Chu Ran waved his hand, stood up, and slowly walked around the room. While strolling, he recalled the story his brother told him, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
This story seems reasonable at first glance, but if you calm down and think about it, you will find that it cannot withstand scrutiny and has many loopholes.
The eldest young master looked at the pensive Young Master Chu Ran and chuckled. His younger brother has always been very rational and would never blindly believe anything anyone said until he could understand everything in this story. Only when you have figured out every line clearly and can convince yourself can it truly come to an end.
It was obvious that the story he just told did not meet the standards that his brother could pass. Looking at his appearance now, he was mentally listing a lot of questions to ask himself.
"Brother." Young Master Chu Ran walked up to the eldest young master and looked at him seriously, "Don't you think this story has many doubts, many of which have not been explained clearly." He looked at the eldest young master's smiling face, "Brother, this smile is What's the meaning?"
"I know you will definitely ask, and you want to ask a lot." The eldest young master patted the young master Chu Ran on the shoulder, "That's right, right?"
"The one who knows me is my brother." Young Master Chu Ran leaned on the small table and looked at the boiling tea in the teapot. "The first question is that neither Emperor Chongde nor Prince Tong are very confident about the little prince. If that's the case, , why should we delegate so much power to him? Not only that, but we also gave him such a large amount of money as his support. Isn't this contradictory? "
"I remember he seemed to have said this, but I can't remember the specifics." The eldest young master thought about it carefully, because it has been so long that some memories are no longer clear, "Prince Tong seemed to have said that, in fact, Their original intention is that the Song family has replaced them, so let's replace them. If the Song family can make the people live in peace and contentment and end the chaos on the border, they don't care who is sitting on the dragon chair. But, that The little prince disagreed, but he tried his best to convince the two of them that they must be revived and the throne must be taken back."
"How did you convince them?" Master Chu Ran frowned slightly, "Brother, I don't think anyone can force them to do something they don't want to do. There should be other reasons why they agreed, or they considerations.”
"There are no reasons or considerations, because they know very well that if they don't agree, the little prince may not do anything extraordinary to force them to agree." The eldest young master sneered, "Think about what we did to him before Investigation, thinking about what he did, he is a person with no bottom line."
"Whatever you want to do, you must do it." Master Chu Ran nodded, "You will never give up until you achieve your goal."
"So, Emperor Chongde, as his father, and Prince Tong, as his uncle, have watched him grow up. They know very well what kind of character this child has. Since the little prince proposes to compete for the throne with us, no matter what, They will force them to agree. Anyway, the result is already determined, so there is no need to go to such trouble, just agree. Give him whatever he wants, so as not to make him make noises over and over again. However, the two of them are also very worried about this child. He was very radical and did some irreparable wrong things, so after some discussion, we decided to let Prince Tong watch him carefully."
"Hey, instead of watching him carefully, Emperor Chongde still wants Prince Tong to save his life at the critical moment." Young Master Chu Ran let out a long sigh, "As a parent, you have good intentions. , it’s really not easy.”
"Who says it's not the case!" The eldest young master also lamented, "Prince Tong is also glad that when the little prince was alive, it took him most of his life to conquer the large and small forces of the previous dynasty, and in the end he failed to fulfill his wish. , I will regret it for the rest of my life. It’s just that he left a legacy to future generations. No matter how much time, financial and manpower it takes, the Song family must be driven off that throne.”
"You are really persistent!" Master Chu Ran shook his head helplessly, "Did Prince Tong see him for the last time?"
"It's not very clear. I guess not. After all..." The eldest young master pointed at himself and then at Young Master Chu Ran, "In our situation, we can't appear in front of others easily. If Prince Tong meets the little prince, the little prince will Wouldn’t it scare him to death to see his uncle still looking like a young man?”
"You're right."
"Is the first problem solved? The second one."
"Well, the second one has actually been solved. I wanted to say before that their renaissance project has not been completed yet, so why did they give up so easily. Now I understand, it turned out that they had no such idea at all. He left the village , nothing more than worrying about the little prince, and at the same time taking a look at this great river and mountains on behalf of Emperor Chongde."
"Yes, after reading it, my wish has been fulfilled, and there is nothing left to miss, so I came back to be with my sweetheart. Before he left, King Tong once said that he would record his whole life in detail, but I don't know if he has completed it." The young master looked at Master Chu Ran, "If those children can find their remains, I hope they can be buried properly. I also hope they can find Prince Tong's letters and help us solve the unsolved mystery. "
"That's for sure. Our children are all good children. As long as they see it, they won't ignore it. I just hope they won't be scared. And..." Young Master Chu Ran held his cheek, "That house The mechanism won’t hurt anyone, right?”
"No," the eldest young master shook his head gently, "There's nothing to hurt anyone. I'm just worried that they won't find the entrance."
"Then it depends on their own abilities. We can't help them." Master Chu Ran lightly knocked on the table, "There is one more question."
"I know, about that pill."
"Yes." Young Master Chu Ran nodded, "This kind of thing should be very rare. Why do we, Emperor Chongde, and Prince Tong all have this kind of elixir, and the one from the Xuanyuan family, nine out of ten, It's the same situation with us. It should be an extremely rare situation, but why does it appear all of a sudden around us? Brother, don't you think it's weird?"
"It's very strange." The eldest young master nodded, "But isn't it also the target we want to track down? From the one in the Xuanyuan family, to Prince Tong, and then to us, the length of time has spanned a hundred years. This one is plotting against us behind our backs. What do these people want to get from us by making such a big noise?"
