Chapter 1504 Special call (for book friend vivi with a smile
The emperor went up to the attic and listened for a long time, and finally understood what was going on in the Imperial Medical Office.
Man Bao also made it clear, so he quietly picked up the newly added tea on the table and took a sip.
The emperor happened to see it when he looked away from a distance. He paused and asked: "You and your two junior brothers are studying in the palace now, so what is your husband doing at home right now?"
"Reading," Man Bao said, "Mr. said that when he came to the capital again, he realized that there were so many books in the world that he had not read, and he was busy meeting friends on weekdays."
In fact, last time Bai Shan copied a book from the library and gave it to him. Although it was only a short book of more than 800 words, he read it with gusto and was still studying it recently. The text was too difficult to understand, and it was full of books anyway.
Bao can't understand it.
The emperor smiled and asked: "He has been a gentleman for so long and he hasn't finished the book yet?"
"There are always endless books in the world." Man Bao paused and said, "This is what our husband said."
The emperor asked: "You should have read almost all the books outside, right? Has he ever thought about going into the palace to look for books?"
Full of happiness in his heart, his eyes flashed slightly and his voice softened a bit, "Of course you are willing to read more books, sir."
The emperor smiled when he heard this and was about to speak when he heard a burst of laughter below. He couldn't help but lower his head and saw several students from the Chongwen Hall running under the attic chasing each other.
He couldn't help but look at Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong immediately bent down and whispered: "Your Majesty, school is over and it's time for lunch."
The emperor nodded, pointed at Bai Shan and Bai Cheng who were not far away, and said, "Send them up, they are both disciples, and I will also ask them what they mean."
Man Bao thought to himself, they are not stupid, so they must be willing.
A chamberlain went down to find Bai Shan and Bai Cheng. They both raised their heads and looked upstairs. They only saw a few guards guarding the stairs and saw nothing.
However, if the person who can let the guards guard the attic in the East Palace is not the prince who just had a lesson with them, then he is the emperor.
The two of them gave Feng Zongping a few winks, and then followed the eunuchs away.
Feng Zongping and others immediately behaved dignifiedly and did not dare to chase or fight anymore.
After going up to the third floor, the emperor asked Bai Shan and Bai Cheng the same words. Bai Cheng naturally wanted to nod and say "Okay, okay". If the gentleman came into the palace, he should also be the gentleman, right?
It's just that he is a junior brother. According to the teacher's wishes and his habits, he first glanced at Zhou Man and Bai Shan secretly.
Bai Shan also glanced at Man Bao, and after seeing her blink, he roughly guessed what she had just said. He paused and then declined, saying: "Your Majesty is interested in you. I should be happy, sir, but I'm just afraid of letting down Your Majesty."
expect."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I have also met Mr. Zhuang. He can teach you three disciples to meet him. It is not bad. How can you let him down?"
Bai Shan paused and then said bluntly: "Sir, your reputation is flawed. I'm afraid that after entering the East Palace, His Royal Highness will be dragged down."
Bai Shandao: "The prince is the crown prince of the country, and he must be surrounded by talented people. My husband suffered a lot when he was young, and now he is criticized for his old affairs. How can he serve in the East Palace?"
The emperor, who was just doing everything in his power at first, was moved in his heart. Originally, although Zhuang Xun was good, there were many people in the court who were better than him.
For example, Wei Zhi, Zhuang Xun asked Zhou Man some questions, whether he really thought of them or asked them accidentally, Wei Zhi actually thought of them.
Therefore, Zhuang Xun is dispensable to the prince. It would be great if he can recruit a teacher for the east palace to teach the prince. If not, other ministers can replace him.
But now...
When the emperor thought about it, Zhuang Xun's knowledge was second to none, but his character and experience were quite suitable for the current prince.
The three sisters, Zhou Man and his brother, stood in front of the emperor with their heads bowed. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, they couldn't help but secretly raise their eyes to look at him.
Gu Zhong, who was standing next to the emperor, saw it and couldn't help but look away. They are really three silly children. Why can't they endure it any longer?
The emperor just came back to his senses and looked into the eyes of the three of them as soon as he lowered his head.
The three of them immediately lowered their heads and pretended to have done nothing.
emperor:……
He snorted softly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down."
The three of them withdrew inexplicably, so did they let their husbands enter the palace, or did they not allow them to enter the palace?
When they were retreating, they happened to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, who knew that his father was coming to the East Palace, so he used an excuse to escape from Wei Zhi's men.
The three of them stood sideways at the entrance of the stairs, bowing and waiting for the prince to go up before going down.
The prince glanced at them, nodded slightly, and continued to look for his father.
The emperor understood as soon as he saw his face and asked with a smile, "Why, Wei Zhi is admonishing you again?"
The prince didn't want to discuss with his father the matter of being scolded by his husband, so he changed the subject and asked, "What did the emperor call the three of them for?"
The emperor asked: "What do you think of these three children?"
The prince nodded and said: "It's not bad. Zhou Man has good medical skills, and he has a pure heart. He is kind and wise. He can be a capable minister."
As for Bai Erlang, the prince did not comment. After all, there are many people like him.
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "They all learn from one person."
He said: "Your Chongwen Hall has just elected so many students, and there are not enough lecturers. Why not add a teacher to them?"
The prince was slightly surprised, "But he has no fame, not even a Jinshi, so how can he enter the Chongwen Hall to give lectures?"
The emperor said: "A teacher should not learn from talent, but from virtue. His talent and learning may not be as good as those of the teachers and students in the library, but his virtue is high and that is enough."
He said: "He was framed by his classmates and lived a difficult life, but he has never complained over the years. I have seen him once, and there was no trace of gloom in him at that time. Now his three disciples do not say they are successful, but they can
It is not difficult to get in and out of the palace, see you, and see me, but I have never used the opportunity to suppress my enemies."
Over the past year, Zhuang Xun has been calm and calm, and he seems to have forgotten the injustice he suffered in the early years. The emperor still admires him from the bottom of his heart.
So he said: "With this virtue, it is enough to specially recruit him to the East Palace to serve as a lecturer."
The prince's face turned gloomy, thinking that the emperor was using Zhuang Xun to beat him.
However, the relationship between father and son has become much more harmonious recently. Even if he had anger and resentment in his heart, he would not let it out.
The emperor only thought that he was thinking seriously about his words. After waiting for a while, seeing that he was still speechless, he smiled and asked: "What do you mean? Do you agree or not?"
The prince said: "Isn't it the father who decides whether to agree or not? You arrange all the ministers in the East Palace, don't you?"
The emperor then stood up and said, "Then the matter is settled. Zhuang Xun is granted the title of Ninth Grade Attendant and is asked to come to the palace on a certain day to teach the prince."
