Among the many familiar poems and songs, Zhang Shou, who had had a few too many drinks, fell asleep at his desk. In his daze, he even heard the cheers and cheers of the noble disciples, as well as the vague promise of some official position from the emperor.
, and Zhu Ying’s clear and melodious laughter. And soon, even these sounds gradually disappeared from my ears.
It wasn't until he felt a twinge of pain on his forehead that he suddenly woke up. When he looked again, he was no longer at the open-air banquet, but was lying on a soft couch in a room.
He sat up with support and looked around blankly. After a while, he regained his gaze and looked strangely at the old man in front of him who was blowing his beard and glaring at him.
"Teacher? I seemed to be in the Imperial College before, and I even met the emperor... Could it be that I was dreaming?"
"What a dream, a daydream!" Ge Yong was so angry that he poked Zhang Shou's forehead twice more with his index and middle fingers. Seeing that Zhang Shou was covering his forehead and still a little confused, he said angrily, "You,
The emperor specially held a celebration banquet for you in the Imperial College, please serve it well, after three rounds of drinking, you started snoring and fell into a deep sleep!"
Zhang Shou immediately said: "I didn't get a wink all night last night, so I fell asleep without paying attention."
Ge Yong was speechless. He tugged on his beard angrily, and then asked with a stern face: "Yingying told me when she sent you here before, that you said in front of the emperor that everyone worked together on the night of August 14th, so they just
Those twenty or thirty rebels from the coastal camp were wiped out in one fell swoop. Let me ask you, are what you said true or false?"
"Fake." Zhang Shou said two words very readily.
Seeing that Ge Yong suddenly became furious, he said sincerely: "Teacher, I know this is the crime of deceiving the emperor, but when I said this at that time, and Yingying agreed with me, I knew that she should have been the same before.
What I said is not that I want to share the credit with others. To be fair, except for Zhang Chen, although these people are nobles, most of them are just children who are not valued at home. "
"They usually go about their business, fighting cocks and walking dogs. They don't do their jobs properly and have no knowledge or skills. If they continue like this, they may be a waste of food in the future, and they may even cause some big troubles. But since they were able to stay in Cuiyun in the first place
If you have time to stay and even learn arithmetic, even if you are not as talented as Lu Sanlang, you can still be saved after all."
"In this case, it should be effective to use some credit to encourage them to make progress, and to use the emperor's affirmation and praise to exchange for their return. For a commoner, the return of the prodigal son only saves himself and his family. But for a noble son, the return of the prodigal son not only saves
He himself has restored his family reputation, and it may benefit more people, because if they do evil, they will harm one party, and if they do good, they will benefit the other."
"Of course, I know that even if this is done with good intentions, it is actually wrong. So I want to write a letter of apology. Teacher, can you help me submit it to the emperor?"
As soon as Zhang Shou said this, he heard a noise. Looking sideways, he saw the curtain was raised high, and then revealed a face that he had not expected at all. After the initial shock, he simply couldn't believe it.
Knowing what to say, he could only pull off his shoes and get down on the bed. He smiled wryly and bowed his head to apologize, saying, "I never expected that the emperor would actually listen to me."
"Well, I think it would be good to listen to you in the corner."
The emperor saw his former teacher Ge Yong looking at him with an unkind look, clearly reproaching him for showing up so casually even though he couldn't say yes, but he just pretended not to see him. He came out of the door as if nothing had happened, and then smiled and said
Looking at Zhang Shou carefully.
"I saw that you were having a good dream before. I thought that Jiuzhang Hall had not been repaired yet, so I couldn't let you stay here any longer, so I simply asked someone to take you to Ge Mansion in a carriage. Speaking of which, you are bold, you actually played tricks in front of me before.
, haven’t you thought that Hua Qi will report the truth truthfully?”
"Of course I've thought about it."
Zhang Shou had completely recovered from his sleepy state, and said bluntly, "But I am holding on to a bit of luck, so I want to test whether the emperor will not expose my lies, and bet on whether Yingying will
I would say the same thing. I think those people may not need real money or even official rewards. Maybe they only need a word of praise from the emperor, and they will be satisfied."
"At such a young age, I have a lot of thoughts, but I have a good heart! No wonder when faced with that kind of unexpected situation in front of Jiuzhang Hall, you didn't just sit back and watch, but you had an idea and thought of such a solution. Otherwise, if I were really
On impulse, I ordered people to cut open the plaque inscribed by Taizu, but I couldn't find the so-called secret scroll. Even if I was so angry that I killed someone, it would be in vain."
Zhang Shou suddenly laughed dryly: "I remember that at that time, when the emperor faced the leader, he was calm and calm, and he dealt with justice. How could he be like this?"
"That's not necessarily true. What you saw may be what I want you to think."
The emperor smiled, and then said to Ge Yong beside him: "Teacher, I ran out without setting up the book. There must be a lot of people waiting for advice, so I went back first. Zhang Shou made a wonderful decision today.
Taizu's good method of inscribing a plaque to hide the secret scroll will probably make Zhou Xun and Luo Yi have a better attitude towards him in the future. You can help me test whether it is feasible, and if it works, try it later."
"Although there is a room full of Taizu's handwritings in the ancient and modern Tongji library in the palace, and there are no missing secret volumes, I am a little curious. By the way, there is also that matter, teacher, please don't forget it."
Seeing that the emperor blinked hard at him and looked like the matter needed to be kept secret, Ge Yong, who was originally going to take Zhang Shou to discuss the details, could only sigh, and then said politely: "I know, I know.
, you are an emperor with a lot of things to do, go back quickly, don’t make trouble and the Queen Mother comes to me to ask for someone!"
Seeing the emperor laughing, he turned around and walked away. At this moment, Zhang Shou finally couldn't help shouting: "The emperor said before that if Zhou Da Sicheng begged, he could be allowed to enter the palace to copy Emperor Taizu.
Handwriting? Then..."
Before he could say the second half of his words, the emperor said without looking back: "You want to see it too? Yes, wait until you have accomplished a great achievement that no one else can speak of. Otherwise, I don't care. Those old cabinet ministers
They can annoy you to death! Work hard, many people are curious about the kind-hearted gentleman that Yingying promotes everywhere!"
When he left the room, the emperor saw Ah Liu standing there in the courtyard with two young men. They were clearly two students of Zhang Shou. When they saw him coming out, the three of them saluted quickly, so he chuckled and said,
After several guards stepped forward to protect him, he strode away. However, his casual expression did not stop until he left Ge Mansion and mounted his horse.
Sixteen years later, the children who were born after a sudden incident in the temple have all grown up to this size!
Hey, I think back in the eighth year of Yongchen's reign, when he took charge, he was only Zhang Shou's age. What was he doing at that time? It seems that he was thinking of cleaning up the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty and replacing them with people he liked.
Let the Queen Mother see her talents and strategies, right? Then a series of messy disasters occurred, and the Queen Mother almost beat him to death out of anger...
From this point of view, Zhang Shou can indeed be regarded as a gentle and kind gentleman...
Sure enough, it was the Duke of Zhao, Zhu Jing, who said that children who grow up in the countryside are more resilient?
His eldest and second princes are almost crazy. As for the third and fourth princes who have just begun to enlighten, they still can't tell whether they are good or bad... Should he throw them into the countryside or the army?
Sharpen it up?
I think Emperor Taizu almost set up such a civilian military training system for the princes and grandsons!
Having said that, the battle between Zhao Guogong and Zhu Jing should have come to an end after it has been dragged on for so long...
After a thousand thoughts, the emperor finally jumped on his horse and roared away on the long street surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.
