"Bian'er... you are doing well, don't worry... just listen to your father's words, practice writing and sword..."
Cui Shi held the letter in his hand and read it slowly. After reading it all, he put away the letter and raised his head. In front of him, the two fat men looked at him attentively. Their sitting postures were exactly the same. The little fat man laughed and clapped his hands and said: "
Great, Mr. Cui, maybe read it again?"
I have read this three times...
Cui Shi thought to himself and looked at the emperor beside him. The emperor also looked at him blankly. Suddenly, he nodded and said, "I'd like to trouble Cui Jun..."
"Bian'er..."
The little fat man held the letter and ran out happily. He wanted to see Empress Song and Empress Dowager Dong.
The emperor frowned, looked abnormal, and sat blankly. Cui Shi leaned over and said: "I forged Mr. He's letter, and I hope your majesty will forgive me..." The emperor raised his head, his expression was still dull. After a while, he
He calmed down again, shook his head with a smile, and said: "What crime did Mr. Cui have? Hahaha, Mr. Cui's writing and ink... even I almost thought it was the work of a master..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am too embarrassed to say anything..."
Cui Shi chatted with the emperor for a while and then left. Song Dian stood beside the emperor with his head lowered.
The emperor raised his head, looked up, and suddenly asked: "Song Dian..."
"nation?"
"Tell me, can I see Master He again..."
"This..." Song Dian couldn't answer, lowered his head and was speechless.
I don’t know why, the more I miss him, the more painful my heart becomes. In the future, I will never see Master He again?
The emperor took a deep breath and said: "Let Jia Xu and Xun You enter the palace..."
Song Dian took the order and left. Not long after, the two young officials were brought to the side of the emperor. When they came in, the emperor was reading a book. They paid homage to the emperor. The emperor asked them to sit down and continue reading.
While writing the book, Jia Xu lowered his head and squinted his eyes, while Xun You looked around. He noticed that the book in the emperor's hand was "Gongyang Chunqiu Exegesis" written by He Lao.
Unfortunately, it was not completed.
"I want to make Bian'er the crown prince, but there is no famous teacher in the court. Therefore, I want you two to teach the crown prince together..." The emperor said coldly. The emperor did not ask what they meant, but spoke directly,
When Xun You heard this, his eyes were full of joy, and he asked himself to teach the prince. Isn't this the emperor's trust in him? He stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said, "I must do my best!"
He looked at Jia Xu aside. Jia Xu was still a little confused. Ever since he came to Luoyang, he couldn't understand many things. He and Xun You were both advisors with less than a thousand stones, and they were not both scholars who came to teach.
The prince's? Why did it fall on him again?
Jia Xu came to his senses and stood up in a hurry. He did not dare to refuse the emperor's order, so he raised his hands and said, "The same goes for me!"
"Okay, but I will be more straightforward and don't teach my only son to become a corrupt scholar..."
"As you command!"
Jia Xu suddenly understood in his heart that maybe this was why he wanted a young man like himself to teach the prince.
The next day, Song Dian took the little fat man to the East Palace. The little yellow gate had already started to clean up the place. The little fat man looked at it in confusion and asked: "Am I going to live here in the future?"
"Your Highness is still young. If you don't want to live there, you can live with the Queen Mother or the Empress..."
"Okay, then you brought me here today just to see these halls?"
"No, the country has found two teachers for His Highness. Today, we are going to teach His Highness..."
When the little fat man heard this, his smile gradually disappeared...
"Eunuch Song, I feel a little unwell today, why don't I teach again tomorrow..." The little fat man blinked his big eyes and said. Song Dian nodded with a smile and said, "I will find the imperial doctor's order right now and report it to the country... "
"Forget it..." The little fat man muttered, not knowing what to say, and walked stubbornly towards the main hall. As soon as he reached the door, he saw two people bending down to salute, and said: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince!", the little fat man said. The fat man observed carefully. He recognized one person. Wasn't it Xun Huangmen who had been with his father all year round? However, he did not recognize the other person.
"Your Highness, this person is called Jia Xu, he is the minister of the imperial court, and he will be your Highness's mentor in the future..."
"Well..." The little fat man swaggered over without saying goodbye. He sat in front of the wooden table, raised his head high and said, "Then let's get started..." Seeing the little fat man's appearance, Xun You and Jia Xu looked at each other and sat across from him. Xun You picked up the book and began to explain the Analects to the prince. Jia Xu sat aside and really didn't think clearly why the emperor wanted them to teach together. .
Xun You was giving a lecture, so he had to sit aside and be the accompanying boy?
Xun You explained attentively, but the little fat man didn't listen at all. He looked around impatiently, lowering his head from time to time, obviously thinking about other things. Xun You felt a little angry, but continued to explain until the little fat man stretched out his head. Lazy and yawned, Xun You just stopped explaining and said with some displeasure: "The prince doesn't know how to teach?"
Liu Bian turned his head and ignored his question.
Jia Xu looked at Liu Bian in front of him, suddenly shook his head helplessly, and said: "Earlier, I heard from my grandpa that the prince is smart, intelligent, and knows the truth. So this is what he looks like..." Jia Xu's words made him The little fat man was stunned, frowned, and asked: "Who is your grandpa?"
"He Gongye!"
The little fat man stood up in shock, his eyes widened, and said: "Don't lie to me, I have no children!" Jia Xu shook his head and said: "He Gong is my mother's foster father, and I Grandpa, because I have no talent, he never mentioned it..."
"This..." The little fat man thought for a moment, straightened his body, sat in front of Jia Xu, and said with a smile: "In that case, I hope you will teach the ram!" Jia Xu nodded and started. When he started talking, the little fat man listened with great interest.
Xun You was dumbfounded when he heard this. How did you become He Gong's grandson? Also, why do you know Gongyang?
This time, it was Xun You who became the guest. He listened to Jia Xu's explanation of Gongyang without saying a word.
After a long time, Xun You couldn't sit still. The emperor sent him here, so he was just here to listen. However, the little fat man only had a soft spot for Jia Xu, but ignored him at all. Ya, when you were young, I used to take care of you every day, and you treated me like this! He suddenly stood up and walked out without looking back. Jia Xu did not look at him and continued to explain, and the little fat man ignored him.
Xun You did not leave the palace directly. Instead, he went to see the emperor.
"Do you want to wear a sword in the palace?" The emperor looked at him with some confusion. Xun You nodded and said, "Your Majesty, a wooden sword will do!"
"Why?"
"Just for teaching and the prince..."
"Hahahaha~~~" The emperor remembered something and said: "The wooden sword can't control that Zhuzi. Just ask Song Dian to get you a sword, and treat it as a gift from me..."
Xun You leaned over to thank you, but the emperor still smiled and said, "But please don't hurt the prince."
