Chapter 294 Sending Books
Zhou Huaishan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
The emperor was talking about the official dry luck issue he just mentioned.
"Your Majesty is wise, ordinary people are just guessing."
The emperor looked at Zhou Huaishan with great interest, "Guess?"
Zhou Huaishan pursed his lips honestly, "Ang, I guessed it."
"How did you guess it?"
"Use my wise brain." Zhou Huaishan blurted out.
After saying that, my tongue got stuck.
Oh ho!
So bald!
The emperor looked at Zhou Huaishan, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up.
Zhou Huaishan immediately made amends: "The grass-roots people previously lived in Qinghe County, Xuan Prefecture, which is not far from Liangzhou. Liangzhou is close to the border of Beiyan, and the Zhenshuo Army is stationed on the border.
The people in Qinghe County all said that the official dry transport route from Beiyan to Jiangsu and Zhejiang was the basis of the Zhenshuo Army.
If this is said, the Zhenshuo Army is close to His Highness the Prince, and the Zhenshuo Army controls this official line, then the Second Prince cannot be willing to lag behind.
Therefore, Cao Min took a bold guess.
Unexpectedly, the blind cat encountered a dead mouse.
The common man had no intention of offending the two Highnesses and asked for His Majesty's forgiveness. However, the situation forced him to say so.
The common people are careless. "
When Zhou Huaishan finished speaking, the emperor looked at him with a slight look in his eyes, "You are not a blind cat."
Zhou Huaishan. Huh?
His eyes were blank.
The emperor raised his lips slightly with a smile, "You are a magical cat."
Zhou Huaishan.
I can be shy too.
The emperor laughed loudly and said, "Today, you have made a meritorious service. What reward do you want?"
Zhou Huaishan's eyes lit up, "What kind of reward do the common people want? Your Majesty will agree to it?"
The emperor smiled and said: "Tell me about it."
Zhou Huaishan said without thinking: "The common people want to take half a month off."
"reason."
"The Cao Min's daughter is about to get married, and the dowry has not been prepared yet. The Cao Min has to prepare the dowry for her."
Zhou Huaishan said it sincerely, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the emperor expectantly.
The emperor waved his hand and said in a straight tone: "No."
Zhou Huaishan almost moved his chin.
The emperor smiled and said: "Change it."
Zhou Huaishan looked at the emperor with resentment and sighed silently. Apart from this, what other needs could he have?
"Unexpected." Feeling hopeless and weak, Zhou Huaishan scratched the back of his head and said with his head hanging down.
The emperor suppressed a smile, "Since you can't think of it, then I will make the decision for you, and I will reward you."
The emperor paused deliberately, Zhou Huaishan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked over with the last glimmer of hope.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a bolt from the blue.
"Three books that I personally annotated!"
The moment the emperor's last words fell, Zhou Huaishan wanted to rush over, pick up a tea cup and splash water on the emperor's face.
How can I be sorry for you?
ah? !
Say it!
Seeing Zhou Huaishan bowing and thanking him, and leaving in anger, the moment Zhou Huaishan stepped out of the imperial study door, the emperor could no longer control himself and burst into laughter.
This is so funny!
The head chamberlain stood to one side with a helpless expression.
What kind of schadenfreude is this?
Hearing the laughter that sounded like a wolf howling from behind, Zhou Huaishan almost fell over as his vision went dark.
What evil has he done!
After leaving the palace and returning to the Imperial College, as soon as I arrived at the door, I was invited to the Master Jijiu.
Although Master Jijiu sent people to inquire at the palace gate, they only found out that Zhou Huaishan had not been punished. He still didn't know anything about the details.
Seeing Zhou Huaishan at this moment, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? What did the emperor say?"
Zhou Huaishan held three books in his hands. He rolled his eyes and put the books on the table of the Master Jijiu. "Your Majesty gave me three books as a gift."
Lord Jijiu frowned and looked at the three books.
As soon as his eyes fell, the corners of his eyes twitched.
Three books, named respectively, "On How to Become a Senior Dandy", "On How to Pretend to Be Low-key After Becoming a Senior Dandy", and "On How to Accept a Little Brother"
Looking at these three books, Mr. Jijiu almost couldn't hold his breath. I will explain it here today.
He has lived for more than half his life, and this is the first time he has seen such a divine book.
Pointing at the book tremblingly, Lord Jijiu said in a breathless tone: "Did the emperor say why he gave you these three books?"
Zhou Huaishan's face drooped, "Why else? Isn't it just for me to study hard?"
Lord Jijiu felt his head was buzzing.
study well?
These three books?
Isn't it true that "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn" are not worthy?
Looking at the three books again in confusion, Master Jijiu finally couldn't help it and said, "Can you tell me what happened in the imperial study today?"
So good, why did the emperor give Zhou Huaishan such three books!
Zhou Huaishan weakly recounted his heroic deeds.
What was originally so exciting, these three books made Zhou Huaishan no longer able to speak.
Master Jijiu was stunned for a while after hearing this.
Zhou Huaishan just used his bullshit homework to knock down the dignified Ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry?
In this way, he seemed to understand what the emperor meant.
Those three books all have one thing in common, that is, under the title of each book, it says: Written by Rongyang Hou Huaishan.
The emperor's intention should be to let Zhou Huaishan learn some of the dandy spirit of Rongyang Marquis back then.
Back then, the Marquis of Rongyang was a lord who could defy the heavens and the earth and fear no one with his courage.
Now, Zhou Huaishan, who came from a humble background, was able to defeat the Minister of Industry and the Ministry of Hubu in the imperial study room. So, does the emperor plan to focus on cultivating Zhou Huaishan?
As soon as his thoughts were clear, Lord Jijiu sighed seriously, picked up the three books, neatly stacked them together, and then placed them in Zhou Huaishan's arms.
He gently patted Zhou Huaishan on the shoulder.
"You have a bright future, study hard, and don't let down His Majesty's good intentions for you."
After that, he waved his hand outward and said, "Okay, let's go back to class. Put away these three books. Go home and study them slowly. Don't let other students see them."
Zhou Huaishan lowered his head and crossed his shoulders, turned around and left.
When he walked to the door, Lord Jijiu suddenly added, "Come to my place again after school is over soon, and I will also give you a few books to study hard.
After all, the Four Books and Five Classics are the focus. The few books I give you are all annotated by myself. "
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Huaishan stumbled over the threshold.
Who the hell did I offend?
I cried!
Staggering out the door, the books in my arms were scattered all over the floor.
Zhou Huaishan stooped down to pick it up, holding back his anger. The moment his fingers touched the book, he could really see the words on the cover of the book clearly.
"On How to Become a Senior Dandy"
His fingertips trembled, and he picked up the three books scattered on the ground.
The sleeves wiped the dust on the book, and tears fell down at this moment.
When he came out of the palace, he was filled with anger and didn't even look carefully at what three books the emperor gave him.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be these three books.
