Imperial study room.

The three brothers were waiting outside the door, and King Ying and Li Junhua stood honestly. Only the third brother Li Junwei yawned from time to time, touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry."

"Shh, whisper, don't want Meng Lang." Li Jundu reminded in a low voice.

"You three are here, I've heard the third brother complaining a long time ago." Li Mingxun's voice came from the imperial study room. The three brothers hurried in and kowtowed and bowed. Li Mingxun had just gotten up and was still purifying his hands, saying, "Get up, sit down."

The three brothers sat around the round table. The prince and the King of Ying were silent and did not dare to be presumptuous. However, the third brother had no rules. He grabbed a hot meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth. After Li Mingxun sat down, he had eaten two buns, and his mouth was full of oil. Li Mingxun sighed and said, "Third brother, when will you understand some rules like your brothers?"

"When I am as old as my brother, I will follow the rules." Li Junwei said indifferently.

"You said the same when I was as old as you." The prince reminded.

Li Junwei curled his lips, ignored it, and started eating on his own. The two brothers did not start eating until the emperor moved the chopsticks. Li Mingxun took a few bites and asked, "Boss, the servant's room handed you a memorial this morning. What can't be said in person? What memorial is submitted?"

Li Jundu put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Father, I heard that you are going to form a mission to Mobei, and I am willing to take on this responsibility."

"Nonsense, your empire prince, why are you involved in this? You are my son. If you go to Mobei, you will not beat the third brother. If you go, you will never return." Li Mingxun said unhappily.

"My son has already thought about it and can change his identities. Anyway, no one in the Qing court knew me. It is said that Mobei cried and the hardships outside the border are hard, so my sons have to see with their own eyes that they can share their worries for their father during the Northern Expedition." Li Jundu said seriously without giving in.

"If no one knows you, can you go? Our men stole the Aisin Gioro's country. In recent years, the Manchus have to eat or drink in Mobei. If they become impatient and kill all the people in the mission, what should they do? Don't mess around, I have already decided the candidate. Just let Wu Yifeng do it, and the deputy envoy will let Chang Adaye from the Lifanyuan do it." Li Mingxun said lightly.

After hearing this, Li Junwei clapped his hands repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let Chang Aidai go, let Aisin Jueluo fight Aisin Jueluo, it's fun, fun."

"Father, son's minister..." Li Jundu still insisted, but the emperor raised his finger and signaled that the intention was decided and there was no need to say anything more.

"I didn't take the mission, and I wanted to hide it and go to Mobei to investigate the reality of the Manchus." Li Jundu gritted his teeth, put down his chopsticks, and knelt down to ask for his orders.

Li Mingxun's face turned cold: "Are you showing me your courage? Or do you think that when you grow up, what I do not count on? "

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the Yu Study was extremely tense. The silent prince's chopsticks were hanging in the air and did not dare to move. The Yu Study was so quiet that it was terrible. Only the sound of Li Junwei drinking porridge in his mouth, and he had never been heartless.

"My son has no intention!" Li Junduo sweated heavily, kneeling on the ground, his voice trembling a little.

"Hmph! Eat..." The emperor did not pursue the matter any more.

Li Jundu had never made the emperor so angry. After a little slow down, he was about to get up. Perhaps he was nervous, he staggered and almost fell down. He was supported by Li Junwei. The third brother glanced at the emperor and said in Li Jundu's ear: "Brother, don't be afraid, Dad is not angry. When he is fake, he likes to blow his beard and glar. If he is really angry, he will slap the table."

"Okay, okay." Li Jundu wiped the sweat from his face and sat on the chair.

Li Junwei's words were all taken into his ears by Li Mingxun. He had no choice but to glar at this young son, so he could only glar at him. Li Junwei stuck out his tongue and continued to eat and use it. He touched the emperor's temper the most thoroughly and was used to lawlessness.

"You brothers are very idle lately? If you are idle, I'll give you an errand." After breakfast, Li Mingxun said lightly.

The prince and the King of England's ears suddenly stood up, and the emperor continued, "The plan of the combat office has basically been decided like this. I have asked all the attitudes of the parties, and I have almost no objection, just waiting for the weather to cool down..."

As the emperor said, Li Junduo couldn't help but stand up. Although the combat plan was passed, the commanders of all walks of life were still not determined, especially the commanders of the Western Army, and they did not set their own position. He felt that the emperor would make up his mind today.

"............................................., the commander has also set hoarding orders for each appeasement zone............................................................. that's the case, I'm not sure what the situation is..... I'm thinking of sending the imperial envoy to conduct on-site verification and pursuing military discipline. If you have nothing to do, you can go to each appeasement zone to see.......”

Hearing this, Li Junduo, who had just been full of enthusiasm, instantly became cold. The imperial envoy's power seemed to be very large, but it was an offensive job. In recent years, various appeasement zones have been actively preparing for war. In addition, Shangtun and other matters, a large amount of money has been invested in, and all the nobles and vassals have participated. Who knows how many confused the accounts there are? After careful investigation, I don't know how many people I will offend, and it makes people panic and delays the mobilization of the Northern Expedition, and may not be able to get the lottery from the emperor.

The most important thing for Li Jundu is that when the Northern Expedition election was not decided, leaving the center at this moment, he lost his influence on the emperor. He calculated carefully that no one could speak for him wholeheartedly.

"Father, my son still has some vulgar things in the battle, and may not be able to get free in a short time..." Li Jundu said with a tough bullet. He also knew that this answer was quite powerless. After all, he had just asked for a mission to Mobei. Now the emperor has his life, but he is plagued by vulgar things.

However, the emperor's answer caught Li Jundu off guard. The emperor did not expose his lies, nor even had any intention of blame. He seemed to say casually: "Since you are so busy that you can't get rid of yourself, Prince, go and patrol the border for me to check."

The prince, who had never spoken, felt bitter in his heart when he took on this job, but he could not refuse, so he could only respond and wait until the emperor had his life and frowned and retreated.

"Did you see, your two brothers are all terrified in their eyes, seeking profit and avoiding harm, and wanting to take advantage of it." Li Mingxun leaned under the cushion and complained.

Li Junwei lay on the couch and scratched his head: "Dad, let me go, and make sure to catch those borers and rats clean."

"You? How do you catch it?"

Li Junwei spread his hands and said, "I'm going, let them report each other. All those who were reported were arrested and spanked. They were beaten until they were told the truth, and they beat them one by one. Isn't it clear at a glance who is greedy and who is honest?"

"What a good idea..." Li Mingxun praised his younger son's intelligence against his will.

"Then you said such a simple method, why don't they both want to go?" Li Mingxun asked again.

"I'm afraid of offending people." Li Junwei answered readily.

"Then why aren't you afraid?"

Li Junwei said proudly: "What am I afraid of? I am the prince and the emperor's son. If I offend people, can they still slap me in the butt?"

"Aren't your two brothers princes?" Li Mingxun looked at his younger son with fun.

Li Junwei's eyes slid, as if he was hesitating. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but come over and whispered: "I'll tell you a secret. They all want to be emperors. You can't offend people. You have to win over people. You have to let others do the offending things."

Listening to the child's words, Li Mingxun suddenly became interesting. This was really a rough word. Once upon a time, the King of England was such a straightforward person. Even royal relatives dared to do it in Nanjing. Now he covets the throne and does not want to offend people anymore. It can be said that Li Junwei hit the vital point with one word.

"Don't you want to be the emperor?" Li Mingxun asked his younger son quipped.

Li Junwei shook his head: "I don't want to, I don't want to be an emperor. It's better to be a prince. You can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want."

"The idea of ​​being useless." Li Mingxun hugged his youngest son's fat head intimately, and said Ai Lian. He said this, but he became closer to his younger son in his heart.

I don’t know when the battle for the throne has affected all aspects of the emperor’s life. Everyone has ideas and is full of too much utilitarianism and reality with the emperor’s life. The virtuous queen, the gentle prince and the eldest son who worships him have gradually alienated him. Only the youngest son in front of him is as heartless as ever and has no dispute with the world.

"Third brother, who do you think is suitable for your elder brother and second brother to be the emperor?" Li Mingxun asked.

Li Junwei shook his head: "How can I know about this? Others say that the eldest brother is the most powerful, but everyone is afraid of the eldest brother, dad, whoever you choose will be, that's fine."

"Is it definitely right that I chose?" Li Mingxun asked.

Li Junwei's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: "Of course, my father's choice must be right. The teachers all say that my father is a genius who is unparalleled and has a far-sighted vision. They said that your decisions are right. Even if you think it was wrong at the time, it will prove to be right in the future. Everyone said so."

"Maybe, but I can't convince the son who can't inherit my position after all." Li Mingxun suddenly felt lost. The inheritance of the throne made him feel powerless, and the alienation of his relatives made him exhausted. Only when he was laughing with his younger son did he feel a little relieved. Looking back, it seemed that everyone in the family liked the little fat man in front of him, and his two brothers were no exception.

"Last brother, let me tell you a story. If you encounter a brother fighting in the future and I am no longer there, I hope you can use this story to convince one of them." Li Mingxun held his youngest son and waved his hand to let everyone in the imperial study go out.

"Okay, okay, tell stories, I love listening to stories the most." Li Junwei applauded.

Li Mingxun reminded: "You cannot tell this story to others, nor can you see it in words, and you will hear it from my mouth and into your ears. I hope no third person will know it."

"Okay, I swear."

Li Mingxun took a deep breath, and the heavy language shared his mental journey over the past 20 years: "Do you know what time travel is......"

Under the blue sky, mountains on both sides of the north and south are hidden on the top of the clouds. Although it was already early spring, the wind on the grassland outside the border was still a little cold. In the slightly cold wind, a team of cavalry slowly advanced, guarding dozens of carriages.

"Your Highness, you'd better come to the car. The wind is still a little cold. Don't catch a cold." Wu Yifeng poked his head out of the carriage and shouted at the prince who was racing.

Li Junhua felt the wind blowing across his face and said, "What is this cold wind? The so-called spring breeze blows on his face is probably like this. I have never been so free to fly. Only in this wide grassland can I feel what it means to ride a horse."

"Master Wu, don't worry, the spring wind does not hurt people." Chang Aday saw that Wu Yifeng was still a little worried, and smiled and comforted her.

Wu Yifeng sighed and thought to himself that the prince had been detained in the capital for too long. Although he had followed the emperor to the Yanbei Appeasement Zone to pacify various Mongolian tribes, with the emperor there, this young man always had to act as a mature and steadfast person.

"Well, let Your Highness relax." Wu Yifeng said lightly.

Chang Aday did not have these thoughts. Although he and the prince went to Guihua City, they would be separated when they arrived at the place. The prince was the imperial envoy to check the preparations for the Yunzhong Appeasement Zone, while he wanted to go north to Helin to meet the Aisin Gioro and the hostile Aisin Gioro.

"Oh..." When Chang Adaya thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir Chang, what's wrong with you? Do you feel that Mobei is not a blessing or a disaster?" Wu Yifeng asked.

Chang Adaisuo said clearly: "I'm afraid that when Xuanye's son came to Mobei, he would kill him with one knife! In the eyes of Manchus in Mobei, I'm already a complete traitor."

"I don't think so. The prince has prepared amulets for you." Wu Yifeng smiled, opened the box beside him, and took out a letter.

Chang Audai took it and saw that there was nothing written on the envelope, and it was opened and it didn't need to be opened. It could be seen directly. Only by looking at the font, Chang Audai felt a little familiar. After looking at the content, the person who wrote the letter called Xuanye his son, and then he understood who wrote it, which was Shunzhi of Changping War Criminals Management Office.

"Is this what the prince prepared?" Chang Aday asked in surprise after reading.

Wu Yifeng nodded: "You must know that Emperor Ming Yongli was also in Changping, and the prince valued filial piety and had never cut off contact with Yongli in recent years. For the sake of this mission, the prince went to Changping and asked for this letter for you."

"So, is this letter true?" Chang Adayai widened his eyes. He originally thought it was forged, but the content was really terrifying. He persuaded Xuanye to lead the Manchu and Mongolian tribes to surrender to the empire and eliminate the war. Chang Adayai would never think that this was Shunzhi's original intention.
