Chapter 009

"A lot of gifts, please sit down!" Zhao Yan arched his hand and asked Ni Liang's "not long eyes" to move the stool.? He was still "see Liu Ye for the first time, and he also examined it. I saw Liu

Fu is about sixty years old, of medium build, with a beard on his face. He is very neatly combed, but he can't hide the haggard appearance after recovering from a serious illness. He is wearing court clothes and a crown, and looks like he is paying a formal visit.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Fu thanked her before sitting down, but his wife did not sit down, but stood behind her.

"Is your Excellency okay?" Zhao Bing sat down and asked again. He was still very satisfied with the first meeting. Looking at the respectful look of the couple, it was obvious that they were not scornful because of their young age, but they followed the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

He knew about Liu Fu because there was a tomb near the shipyard in his previous life, and he knew this character from the profile, but who would have thought that he could still see a living person today.

Judging from the introduction, Liu Fu can be called a good minister. It is said that he grew up in the autumn of crisis at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. As early as when he was studying in Taixue, he wrote letters to criticize the powerful and traitors, and was repeatedly criticized and suppressed. Especially when the capital fell and was defeated, he resolutely rushed to the national disaster.

; gave his own life. He closely linked his personal destiny with the survival of the country, showing the loyalty and courage of a patriot. I don’t know whether the word brave can be taken on, but a word of loyalty can be seen from his actions.

Gotta come out.

"Your Highness, I am fine. I owe it to Your Highness to give me the medicine." Liu Fu said.

"I don't dare take it seriously, it's just a coincidence." Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Hey, your highness is too modest. How can the art of Qihuang be accidental?" Liu Fu actually had doubts about his highness curing the disease for a long time. Now that he heard what he said, he found it even more unbelievable. He suspected that someone was behind his back.

"I... I really got it by chance. When I was fleeing from Quanzhou, I was very sleepy one night. In my confusion, someone said that there was a plague in the army and it could be treated with this method. I wrote it down, but who said it?

But I don’t know.” Zhao Bing tilted his head and thought for a while and said.?

"Oh, although I got it by chance, it is also an opportunity. I have to thank Your Highness." Liu Fu saw that Zhao Bing was serious and believed most of what he said. However, the epidemic broke out before it arrived in Quanzhou. The imperial court offered a large reward for seeking medical treatment, but

There is nothing to gain. Your Highness must have dreamed about it!

It is not unreasonable for Liu Fu to think so. The reason why the patients on the ship were given rhubarb was because Chen Yizhong, the left prime minister, said that someone told him in his dream: natural disasters are prevalent this year, and half of the people will die, but those who take rhubarb will live. And His Highness is young, and

It is not impossible that he had trouble sleeping and eating during the escape, and was temporarily confused whether he was in a dream or reality.

"I was also thinking that that person must be proficient in the art of discriminating yellow, but I really can't remember what that person looked like... Sigh!" Zhao Bing said with great annoyance, as if he was blaming himself.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. We will meet one day by chance." Liu Fu knew that Tong Yan Wuji would never lie about anything he said. Looking at his innocent face, he already believed what Zhao Bing said.

Next, Liu Fu politely asked His Highness what books he had read, and questions about food and accommodation on the ship. Then he became silent, thinking that the age difference between the two was too big, and Zhao Bing was worried that talking too much would lead to mistakes.

Naturally, they didn't dare to say anything more, and fell into an awkward situation of staring at each other for a while. Normally, the visit of the couple should be over at this moment.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Liu Fu, who was about to stand up and say goodbye, suddenly pointed at the messy table in front of His Highness and said.

"I'm just playing! I want to make a boat." Zhao Bing said with a wink.

"Your Highness, can I take a look at this?" Liu Fu asked again.

"Excuse me, Mr. Liu." His question made Zhao Bing puzzled. Could this old man also be a ship model enthusiast?

"Your Highness, now is the time when the country is in ruins and the family is in ruins. You should learn more about how to govern the country and save the people. You must not be immersed in this clever art." Liu Fu stepped forward and squinted his presbyopic eyes and looked at the table carefully.

The overall appearance of the ship cannot be seen, but the prototype has been seen, and it has been carefully cut and polished. It is obviously very attentive. However, the old man was also quite surprised that such a young child could make such an appearance using only imagination and mental calculations.

, it is difficult even for an adult to do it, but if you teach it carefully, you will definitely be a pillar of wealth.

"Master Liu, I also want to learn how to govern the country and save the people, expel the Tatars, restore our mountains and rivers, and welcome back my royal brother. I just hate that I am still young and cannot mount a horse and carry a sword to kill the enemy... I just want to build an invincible warship.

The ship was delivered to the Queen Mother and the Emperor's brother, and they were saved from the pain of being chased by the enemy!" Zhao Bing was silent for a moment and said, of course, he had to do all the acting, and he actually held back two drops of clear tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Your Highness, all the ministers are incompetent." Liu Fu felt guilty after hearing this, and said with a sad look on his face. Thinking that a little prince who was supposed to be carefree and grew up in the palace now left his hometown and lived in fear of being hunted day and night.

Among them, such an idea came to mind.

"Mr. Liu's words are serious. It's all because of my incompetence. I can't defend the great rivers and mountains. I'm ashamed of my ancestors, and I've caused hundreds of officials to suffer, and the army and the people have suffered." Zhao Bing said with full self-blame. When he saw the sad look on the old man's face, it didn't seem like he was cheating.

My favor towards him has increased a bit, but instead of giving up at the good news, I played another tragedy card.

"Your Highness, it is the duty of ministers to be loyal to the emperor and love the people. Your Highness is ashamed to kill the old man." Zhao Bing's words did not mean to blame, but took the initiative to take responsibility. For a child to do this, the old man Liu Fu felt even more ashamed. After all, Confucianism preached

What is the concept of the king humiliating his ministers to death? How could he not know it after reading poetry and books? Of course he couldn't sit still and quickly stood up and bowed to apologize.

"Master Liu, don't blame yourself too much, and take care of yourself. The imperial court cannot do without you, the people cannot do without you, and the Song Dynasty cannot do without you!" Seeing the old man trembling with excitement and crying, Zhao Bing was worried that he would continue to recover from a serious illness.

After losing his breath, "Ni Liang sent the master back to rest." He comforted him and then gave instructions.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave." Liu Fu also felt that he was rude, and after saluting, he went out with the help of his wife and Ni Liang.

"So damn tired!" After seeing off Liu Fu, Zhao Bing breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said to himself, his soul is clearly an adult, but he has to pretend to be a child, and he has to always be wary of whether he makes a mistake or exposes himself.

Flaw. Recalling that what I just said seemed too mature and had a modern tone, would this arouse the old man's suspicion...

The days of the escape journey did not end because the epidemic was temporarily controlled. The Yuan army's fleet was still clinging to the rear, and the three isolation ships wandering outside the fleet became the enemy's best targets. Several of them were the enemy's best targets.

This time a warship was sent to approach. Fortunately, the sailors who were driving the ship were clever and escaped in time to avoid becoming prisoners of the Yuan army. However, during the escape process, they got further and further away from the formation. Fortunately, there was a large amount of supplies stored on the ship, so it was not as easy as possible.

starving.

Zhao Bing had a very fulfilling and boring life these days. Maybe Liu Fu saw that His Highness was still doing nothing every day during the national crisis, but as an important minister of the imperial court and a well-read Confucian scholar, he had the obligation to use the teachings of the sages.

He taught His Highness the "ancestral laws of Yao and Shun, the charter of civil and military affairs" and became the pillar of the country and the wise king who revived the Song Dynasty.

So Liu Fu recommended himself as a teacher and took on the important task of educating His Highness. Zhao Bing knew that he could not refuse, otherwise he would first get a "notoriety" for not being enterprising. Although he and "Chen Paopao" were at Taixue because of

When Prime Minister Ding Daquan was impeached, he was also called the "Six Gentlemen", but his moral integrity was much stronger than his. He grew up in the crisis of the late Southern Song Dynasty. As early as when he was studying in Taixue, he wrote a letter to criticize the powerful traitors, and was repeatedly criticized and suppressed.

; Especially when the country's capital fell and was defeated, he resolutely rushed to the national disaster.

Furthermore, Liu Fu studied hard in a monk's house for twenty years before becoming an official since he was a child. Moreover, he had attended Imperial College and received higher education. Naturally, he had no knowledge to speak of. Later, he served as a local official, a capital official, and

Censor, once served as the chief official of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry. It can be said that he has rich experience in governing, has always had a good official reputation, and is famous for his loyalty and uprightness. There is no problem in being a teacher for Zhao Bing, so that he will teach His Highness every morning.

Reading and literacy is the way to govern the country and the people.

Although the two of them did not formally perform the ceremony of master and disciple, Zhao Bing would salute before giving lessons every day. Liu Fu would bow to him before performing the ceremony of monarch and minister. His Highness was not allowed to treat him as a teacher, perhaps in the name of preventing others from being swayed by others.

.But Zhao Bing didn't think it was a problem, but was secretly happy. There was no real status between them, but they were masters and disciples. The ancients valued the inheritance of teachers and students the most, so they would inevitably protect themselves, and he naturally fell into the relationship between Liu Fu and Liu Fu.

circle. For the lonely Zhao Bing, this is not only an additional teacher, but also an additional helper...

Anyone who has gone to school in modern times knows that classical Chinese has multiple meanings and is difficult to understand. Unless people have special hobbies, no one is willing to learn it. However, for people who come from an era where they are accustomed to using hard pens and are familiar with typing on keyboards, it is difficult to learn it.

Writing traditional Chinese characters with numerous strokes is a kind of torture. But Zhao Bing knows that this is essential if he wants to adapt to this era, so he can only bite the bullet and go back to his student days.

Another thing that Zhao Bing didn't expect was that Liu Fu also interfered with his "private life". Originally, he had boarded the ship in a hurry, and the accompanying maids and chamberlains naturally stayed on the ship. But at the end of this era,

What drove Zhao Bing crazy was combing his hair and getting dressed. Even though he had been here for so long, the cumbersome procedures still made him unable to take care of himself. When he arrived on the quarantine ship, only Ni Liang was around, and his family was considered a rich man. He cleaned, made beds, did laundry, etc.

It's not his turn to do these chores.

With two people living in the same room like this, Zhao Bing was powerless and Ni Liang was powerless and unintentional. You can imagine what daily life was like. And there was an epidemic on the ship, so they didn't dare to let anyone else enter their cabin to serve them.

We could only make do with this. Liu Fu came on board with his wife, children and servants. On his first visit, he noticed His Highness's embarrassment, so he forcefully intervened in His Highness' life. However, out of respect for His Highness, everyone

He asked his wife and daughter to serve him, but Zhao Bing's "**" was also exposed.

Liu Fu was also very satisfied with this nominal disciple. A child as young as five years old could not only quickly remember what he taught him, but could also draw inferences from one instance and put forward his own opinions. Although it was still childish in his eyes, it was already valuable and he could

He called him a 'child prodigy', so he taught more carefully. But he didn't know that hidden in this child's body was an old young man who had received higher education in later generations. He had knowledge and experience different from that of this era, and had extraordinary understanding.
