The Greatest Uncle of All Heavens

Chapter 40 The Princes

With Li Yan leading the way, the other civil and military nobles naturally also talked about the good things of the princes.
Mo Hanshan smiled and listened to their compliments on his princes. Although most of them were flattery, the princes were indeed good.Born in the royal family, with a high starting point, coupled with the enlightenment teachings of famous teachers, naturally all of them are outstanding, with their outstanding features.However, as a father, Mo Hanshan is naturally well aware of the temperament, ability, strengths and weaknesses of his sons. Even if the officials knew, they would not dare to talk about the princes' shortcomings!
The eldest prince is Mo Rujun. Needless to say, as the eldest son of the emperor, Mo Hanshan has placed high hopes on him since he was a child, and he is also the best candidate for the future heir in the eyes of the officials.He is taught by a famous teacher, and Mo Rujun is indeed extremely intelligent. He has been like a little adult since he was a child. He is not very young, but he has already shown a mature and stable style.

The second prince, Mo Rufeng, is fourteen years old, born to the imperial concubine Chen Yujiao, Chen Yuyang's nephew, influenced by his mother, he has been fond of martial arts since childhood, his temperament is completely opposite to Mo Rujun's calm and restrained, he likes to compete with others the most, he is like a martial arts lunatic generally.Moreover, he is indeed very talented in martial arts, he is the best in martial arts among the princes, and Mo Hanshan likes him very much.

The third prince, Mo Ruyun, is fourteen years old, capable of writing and martial arts. He was born to Concubine Meng.

The fourth prince, Mo Ruxuan, was thirteen years old, born to the noble concubine Liu Rushi, and the younger brother of the eldest prince Mo Rujun.Mo Rufeng is good at martial arts, Mo Ruxuan is influenced by his mother Liu Rushi, but he is fond of writing. Although he is not very old, he is good at everything, poetry and prose.Compared with Mo Rujun's elder brother, Mo Rujun's elder brother is probably inferior in terms of essay writing.After all, this thing is really a test of talent.

The fifth prince, Mo Ruhai, was twelve years old, and was born to the concubine Yuer, the second child born to Mo Hanshan by Da Yuer. The first was Mo Hanshan's eldest daughter, Mo Ruxue.Mo Ruxue was fine, after all she was just a princess.But because of Da Yuer's status, the existence of the prince Mo Ruhai is embarrassing.Fortunately, Mo Hanshan treats his children equally, and Mo Ruhai has a soft temper, kindness and filial piety, which makes people hard to pick.Although the courtiers were a little jealous of him, both the queen Qin Niang and Liu Rushi in the palace still liked this child very much.

As for the youngest sixth prince, who is only nine years old, he is very intelligent early. He is the one with the most spiritual and intelligent roots among the princes, and he is also the most loved by Mo Hanshan.However, this child is also very pitiful. Although the mother Lu's family background is good and has long been named a concubine, she died of dystocia when giving birth to this child.The sixth prince, Mo Ruxu, who lost his mother since childhood, has been raised by Qin Niang herself.

After the banquet was over and all the civil and military nobles had left, Mo Hanshan directly ordered the six princes to be called over.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the little six should rest. Why do you still..." Qin Niang who brought the sixth prince over said that she saw the eldest prince Mo Rujun, the second prince Mo Rufeng, and the fourth prince who had already arrived in the tent. The prince Mo Ruxuan and the fifth prince Mo Ruhai couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Are you all there?"

When Mo Rujun and the others saw Qin Niang, they couldn't help but salute respectfully.And the sixth prince, Mo Ruxu, who followed Qin Niang, also politely saluted the four elder brothers like a little adult, and then hurriedly paid respects to the father, Mo Hanshan.

Qin Niang, who brought Mo Ruxu to sit beside Mo Hanshan, couldn't help asking softly, "Your Majesty, why did you call them all over so late?"

"Naturally, I have something important to ask them," Mo Hanshan said with a faint smile, and even waved to Mo Ruxu: "Come on, little six, come here, come to Emperor Father."

Mo Ruxu, who turned a pair of dark and bright eyes, obediently came to Mo Hanshan and sat down beside Mo Hanshan.

For this youngest son, Mo Hanshan really liked it very much, and it was also mixed with some guilt towards his mother, Concubine Lu.People thought that Concubine Lu died of dystocia, but Mo Hanshan knew in his heart that if he hadn't been thinking about the Sunflower Book, he was like a demon, trying to refine the method of refining Qi and cultivating both yin and yang, Concubine Lu would not be seriously injured. He lost his life because of the little six sons.

Because of this, gradually, Mo Hanshan no longer favored the concubines in the harem, and gradually understood the meaning of "the heart has no distracting thoughts, and is detached from things" mentioned in the Sunflower Book. Practicing martial arts needs to cultivate the mind, and martial arts is also to cultivate the mind. .

Just when Mo Hanshan looked at his youngest son and thought of Concubine Lu, a young man in Chinese clothes walked in from the outside, it was the third prince Mo Ruyun.

"Huh?" Seeing that his body was a little wobbly, his tongue was a little big when he saluted himself, his face was flushed, and he smelled of alcohol, Mo Hanshan couldn't help frowning and his face sank: "As a prince, it's so ridiculous Drunk, what is it like!"

The third prince, Mo Ruyun, couldn't help but wake up halfway from the alcohol, and immediately knelt down in panic and nervousness: "Father! My son is confused, and my son knows his mistake! Please forgive me!"

"Father! The third younger brother loves wine the most. When he came to this grassland, he was in a good mood at night. It didn't hurt to drink two more glasses," Mo Rujun said.

"Huh! You will excuse him, you are really a good brother!" Mo Hanshan, who snorted in a low voice, said after a little silence: "Today, the father called you over, but there is something I want to ask you. .”

When the princes heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At the same time, they raised their hearts. They didn't know what Mo Hanshan wanted to ask. Could it be that they did something wrong?

Even Qin Niang couldn't help looking at Mo Hanshan with a little curiosity, she also didn't know the purpose of Mo Hanshan calling several princes here so late today.

Seeing that his sons were all respectfully listening to his teachings, Mo Hanshan seemed to be pondering for a while, and then slowly said: "At the table earlier, Father asked the ministers what they thought of you, and wanted to see Which one of you who fell to the ground can bear the heavy responsibility and be qualified to be the crown prince."

"Now, tell me all of you, who do you think should be the prince of Daxia?" While speaking, Mo Hanshan continued in a deep voice, looking at the sons whose expressions all changed a bit.

After Mo Hanshan's words fell, the sons were slightly silent, and the fourth Mo Ruxuan couldn't help but speak first: "Report to father, as the eldest son, elder brother should be my Daxia prince!"

"Fourth brother..." Mo Rujun couldn't help but his face changed after hearing this, as if he was in a hurry.

Mo Hanshan, who was noncommittal, glanced at his sons, and then said with a smile: "Rujun, why such a big reaction? Tell me!"

"Father, my son thinks that the position of the crown prince should be decided by you, father," Mo Rujun said respectfully.

"Elder Brother, it doesn't make any difference whether you say it or not! Who is the crown prince should be decided by the father. However, since the father asked our opinion, I feel that although the elder brother is the eldest son, he is very outstanding, but the two Brother is not bad!" Mo Ruyun, the third child, smiled with a hint of drunkenness.

The second son, Mo Rufeng, couldn't help changing his face when he heard it, and after glaring at Mo Ruyun, he couldn't help but hurriedly said to Mo Hanshan: "Father, the third brother is drunk! My son thinks what the elder brother said is very reasonable. This prince The position of the crown prince is related to the country, the country, and the country, so it should be decided by the father and the emperor."

"Second brother, what are you in a hurry for? I haven't finished my sentence yet!" Mo Ruyun continued to laugh and said, "The fourth brother is brilliant in writing, and his writing is better than that of the elder brother. If he is the prince, then I will not Opinion."

The fourth Mo Ruxuan didn't expect that Mo Rufeng would set fire to him, so he couldn't help turning his head and glaring at him angrily: "Second brother, you..."

"But! In terms of intelligence, none of us can compare to the sixth brother!" Mo Ruyun, who was talking with a smile, swayed and turned to look at the sixth prince Mo Ruxu who was beside Mo Hanshan.
