The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 197 Emperor Wu's Story

After the two young tutors discussed some issues regarding Gu Yuchen's future teaching with Gu Junshen, they left the Yangxin Palace.

The two people who walked out of the Yangxin Palace looked at each other, and saw joy and solemnity in each other's eyes.

In fact, the two had long expected that Gu Yuchen would be named the crown prince. After all, he was the only prince the current emperor had.

If after many years there is no birth in the harem, then the throne will surely be handed over to him. It is only a matter of time.

Moreover, they had heard about what had happened in the court during this period.

They were retired officials and had many friends in the court. It was normal for them to share information with each other.

The death of Concubine Yao and Gu Junshen's serious illness caused slight turmoil in the entire Northern Dynasty royal family, which led to a war between the two countries in the Northern Territory.

If an event could occur at this time to consolidate the government, such as confirming the future crown prince, it would certainly inspire the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty's military, and they would be able to repel the enemy in one fell swoop, giving them a heavy blow.

Many court ministers had already written letters of advice to the emperor, urging him to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible, but this was opposed by many officials who said that the emperor had only been on the throne for less than ten years, so how could he confirm the future crown prince?

In addition, the prince is still young, making it difficult to appoint a crown prince.

The two of them didn't know when the emperor would make a decision.

In particular, officials from the Chen faction made the most noise and almost fought with those who gave advice in the court.

Fortunately, the emperor got angry and stopped the matter, so it came to nothing.

But the two have their own thoughts. When teaching Gu Yuchen, they will more or less impart some extra knowledge of imperial skills, which is something that every crown prince must learn.

Now that Gu Junshen had summoned them and had received a definite answer, the two of them confirmed the next teaching arrangements.

"I'll have to trouble Master Xu to pay more attention to it in the future." Master Chen smiled happily.

"Same pole! Same pole!"

……

The next day at 3:30 p.m.

The sun was slightly lowered, and the sunlight it cast was softened and no longer scorching.

Gu Yuchen held his sister Gu Jinxuan's hand and walked on the way back to Yanxi Palace.

"Xuan'er, do you know the meaning of that poem by Master Shaofu?"

He frowned. Today, the young master suddenly taught them many poems, but left only this last one for them to go back and comprehend.

"Royal brother said, 'Without learning, one cannot broaden one's talents; without ambition, one cannot achieve learning.'" Gu Jinxuan asked with her round little eyes wide open.

"Yeah! It's hard."

Gu Yuchen looked dejected.

He thought he would shine in the study room, but he was surpassed by his younger sister Gu Jinxuan every time and received praise from the young master repeatedly.

Therefore, he asked this question just now to confirm that his sister really couldn't do it like him.

"I find it difficult too! Let's go back and ask Mother."

"Yeah!"

A quarter of an hour later, before the two men entered the Yanxi Palace, two penetrating voices were heard in the palace.

"Mother, we are back."

This attracted the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard to rush to the door and help the two men with the books in their hands.

Then the two of them walked back to the hall together, and seeing Nanxiang reading a book on the couch, they rushed over.

"Mother!" they both called softly.

"Is today's lecture okay?"

Nanxiang had heard the noises of the two people a long time ago, and the originally quiet and elegant palace was instantly made lively by the shouting of the two people.

As she read, the sleepiness she felt gradually subsided.

"It's OK! But Master left us some homework!"

As Gu Yuchen spoke, he frowned and thought in his little head, but he couldn't make any ripples.

"Tell me about this with your mother?"

"Without learning, one cannot broaden one's talents; without ambition, one cannot achieve learning. How do you translate this sentence?"

After hearing this, Nanxiang looked at the two of them with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Has the teaching of the princes in the palace been advanced to this extent?

What was a simple poem a few days ago has now become a poem containing profound truths.

"It seems that Gu Junshen must have made some suggestions to the young master. Or it may have something to do with Gu Yuchen's future position as the crown prince."

After thinking for a while, Nan Xiang stroked their heads and said, "Chen'er! Xuan'er! Do you still remember the story of Emperor Wu of Han that your mother told you yesterday?"

In order to enlighten Gu Yuchen's thoughts about being the crown prince, Nan Xiang thought for a long time and finally confirmed the story of Emperor Wu of Han.

You have to know that Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne at the age of 16, and later used his brains and talents to create a prosperous era...

Nan Xiangke had not finished her story yet. She only told the most exciting part, about fighting against the Huns and expanding territory.

But even so, the two of them were still fascinated by what they heard, and Gu Yuchen's eyes were shining with golden light, as if he had seen some treasure.

After finishing her speech, Nanxiang began to ask them if they wanted to become a wise ruler like Emperor Wu of Han and leave behind a brilliant and glorious life.

Gu Yuchen did not reply immediately, but asked her if Mingjun was his father.

After hearing this, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Gu Yuchen was smarter than she thought. He was not led astray by her and made a choice immediately when he was emotional.

From the moment Gu Yuchen asked the question, Nanxiang confirmed that he had the talent to be an emperor, and it was not low.

Normally, children of this age would not think so much, they would just happily shout "I want to"

But at the same time, Nanxiang also felt a little distressed.

Because this means that Gu Yuchen is inevitably precocious, not physically, but mentally.

Of course, this is the path that every future crown prince must take, and Nanxiang cannot avoid it.

She can only let him experience the joy and happiness of his peers.

So she touched his head and said softly

"Father is certainly a wise ruler. Our Chen'er will also be a wise ruler in the future."

After hearing this, Gu Yuchen seemed to confirm it, his eyes sparkled, and he nodded heavily.

……

"Mother! I remember."

After hearing Nanxiang's question, Gu Yuchen quickly recalled the story Nanxiang told him last night and rushed to answer.

"This sentence is also related to Emperor Wu of Han. It's the word 'ambition' in it. Emperor Wu confirmed his ambition to contribute to the country and succeeded. This poem is the same."

"What about the first half of the sentence?"

"The first half of the sentence is to make it clear that learning is important! Only by learning can one become wise."

Nanxiang said as she touched Gu Yuchen's head.

“Only then can we create a prosperous era!”

After hearing Nanxiang's words, the two became thoughtful.

It seems like I understand a little bit, but it seems like I understand nothing.

"Master, you really give me a hard time!"

But it’s also good this way, as it will allow Gu Yuchen to slowly strengthen his mind about being a wise ruler.

"Mother, don't say too much. Otherwise, father will blame you."

After hearing this, the two nodded regretfully.

For some of the assignments given by the Master, Nan Xiang would mostly let the two of them think and answer the questions on their own, and her job was to guide them as much as possible.

Seeing that Gu Yuchen had some ideas about Mingjun, Nanxiang asked casually, "If the emperor lets you be the next Mingjun, do you have any ideas?"

"The next wise ruler?"

After hearing this, Gu Yuchen opened his big, bright eyes, seeming to be very interested.

"Will Father really do that?"

"So we, Chen'er, must let father see your ambition!"

"Yeah!" He nodded, as if he had made up his mind.
