"Ah! Your Majesty! Please forgive me for losing my morals! What this person said is really curious, and I will lose my sense of justice when I am excited."

After hearing the emperor's cough, Zhong Shidao then remembered that he had been arbitrarily and quickly turned around to apologize to the emperor.

"It's okay, Gao Qiu's theory of 'the first person to eat crabs' just now surprised me. It's not surprising that my beloved has such a reaction now. Gao Qiu, why don't you express your thoughts quickly? I'm so anxious to wait!"

The emperor understood the appearance of Master Zhong very much and spoke up to urge Gao Qiu to replace Master Zhong.

"Yes! Caomin just said the theory of 'eat crab', so now let's talk about the idea about the 'human body'." Gao Qiu sorted out his ideas and continued: "Camin used to stay in Hangzhou for several years. During that period, it was the time to manage the West Lake and clear the West Lake Canal. Caomin discovered that some of the recruited migrant workers were injured. For example, if they were stabbed with wooden thorns, they would immediately withdraw their hands, as if they didn't even think about it. Also, Caomin saw these migrant workers pounding their legs, and some would kick their feet out immediately when they hit the knees, but after the kick, the person still didn't know what was going on."

"Oh? There is also such a thing? I know that when I stab my finger, I will be injured in any part of my body. The movement of avoiding will be faster than thinking. But this will kick my knees. Why is that?"

Not to mention the emperor, even a famous grand scholar in the world would know the principle of "knee reflex"? It is not surprising that the emperor's curiosity at this time.

"Emperor, hitting your knees will make you kick. This is just an example of how Caomin used to prove his ideas. If the emperor is interested, please allow Caomin to answer this question before answering the emperor."

Gao Qiu came here to popularize science for these ancient "illiterate" people. Even if he wanted to please the emperor, he had to wait until the matter was done, right?

"Ahem! What you said is not bad, then okay! You can answer this question first!"

Realizing that he was a little out of control, the emperor coughed twice and sat upright again.

"Yes! Everyone knows that when we are hurt, the body often reacts faster than our thoughts, but when we take a hot bath, we can force ourselves to endure the hot water." Gao Qiu looked around and found that everyone's attention was attracted by him. Then he explained: "From these things, we can see that our heads are actually the court, and our thoughts are the comprehensive considerations of all the adults, and other parts of the body are actually soldiers who are fighting outside. In this way, when encountering war, that is, when the war is hurt, the soldiers who fight outside will definitely understand the form more than the adults in the court. If we issue orders from the court, it will inevitably miss the opportunity for war, so that our Song Dynasty will lose more and win less when encountering war."

"However, military generals with military power must be controlled, so what do you say about this?"

Another thin middle-aged man next to Su Shi stood up and asked his own question. In fact, this is what all civil servants want to ask.

"This matter is actually not that complicated. Just like the generals who were restraining the Song Dynasty now, they just need to give them more freedom to formulate combat plans. The remaining supervision matter is relatively simple. Experienced generals are fighting outside and the adults in the court govern the country. This is an important way for our Song Dynasty to be safe forever!"

Gao Qiu didn't have many particularly good ideas. He didn't have a very good understanding of military affairs, political affairs, etc. He could do it, that is, he was just a "franchise-skinned man".

I don’t know if it was Su Shi’s influence, but Gao Qiu’s current thoughts are becoming more and more ‘moderate’. However, the ‘moderate’ here is not a fence-between, but a harmony of yin and yang, and does not go to extremes.

"I have considered this matter, but I haven't figured out some things yet, so I haven't implemented them. Since Gao Qiu said it today, then, tomorrow morning, together with the previous "pilot" matters, my dear friends will discuss it together."

The emperor frowned slightly, obviously he was quite concerned about these two things.

"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter!"

To Gao Qiu's expectations, the one who stood up to oppose this time was a person who had a close relationship with Su Shi before.

"Oh? How can I explain this to you?"

Some people have different opinions, so the emperor naturally has to ask, but he has not yet confirmed his intention, so he just asked simply.

"Emperor! The Emperor Taizu of our dynasty has made it clear about the matter of civil and military affairs. Why do you have to cause more trouble if you have such clear things? Therefore, I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter."

"In this way... Su Aiqing, what do you think Mr. Zeng said?"

The emperor was not very interested in this matter, but he still had to act in front of the ministers.

Su Shi looked at his friends around him and sighed in his heart. He was very reluctant to express his opinions on this matter. Just when Su Shi was in a dilemma, his eyes glanced at Gao Qiu, who was relaxed on his face, and quickly bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I haven't thought about it yet. However, since this matter was proposed by Gao Qiu, it's better to let him answer. I don't know what the emperor wants."

"Well... it's a good idea!" The emperor nodded and turned his gaze to Gao Qiu again. "Since that's the case, Gao Qiu, let's talk about whether this matter is necessary?"

"Your Majesty! This matter is simple. Nowadays, the generals are actually a sword in the hands of the court. The court said that anyone who cuts and kills will kill. What Caomin said was to turn this sharp sword into two fists. After all, facing foreign enemies, fists are always more reliable than cold swords and can react more."

Before he could complain that the gentleman had to involve himself again, Gao Qiu quickly answered the emperor's question.

"Your Majesty! I think what this son said is not without reason. If the soldiers use their lives, they still need to be in power. If they just control themselves, they will restrict these soldiers. Just imagine, how could a group of literati who have been studying hard all day long be like fish in water on the battlefield? If they have made achievements after the war, these scholars will be promoted, but in the end, something really happens, they still need to carry it with their bodies. How unfair is this!"

Surprisingly, Zhang Dun stood up and spoke for the generals such as Zhong Shidao, with sincere feelings and intentions, unlike fakes.

"Well... I will discuss it tomorrow, and I will discuss it tomorrow!"

After all, the emperor was not so skilled when he was in power for the first time. When encountering problems, he naturally had to retreat first.

"This...is! Emperor!"

Zhang Dun and the civil officials surnamed Zeng looked at each other, bowed their hands at the same time, and retreated to the queue.

Maybe he felt the atmosphere was a little awkward, and the emperor coughed and changed the topic, "That... today is a boy, not a serious court meeting. Now all the children coming have seen the performance of you. Now, please tell me, how should you reward them?"

"The Emperor's Holy Will and the Heavenly Prison!"

It was when the emperor was in the limelight that no one would come up to join in the fun without any wit, so the ministers' words were unexpectedly consistent.

"That's it! Well! Gao Qiu is so fond... No, Gao Qiu has passed the imperial examination and is a Jinshi. When he is a little older in the future, he can report to the Ministry of Personnel and become an official in the court. Before that, he will be treated the same as the ninth rank."

The emperor thought for a moment that it was not appropriate to be appointed as an official, but it was necessary to open a big back door for Gao Qiu, so he gave a very generous reward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

I don’t know how old the ninth grade is, but at least it’s an errand for salary, so Gao Qiu happily agreed.

"And Wang Gao, although there are many errors in the answers, he is also a rare genius. He is given a Jinshi. If he intends to serve the court in the future and benefit the people of the world, he can go straight to the palace examination."

For Wang Gao, who was a little worse, the emperor's reward was much worse.

But everything is normal. Except for some special times, everyone remembers the first place. Who cares about what the second place is thinking?

Gao Qiu and Wang Gao thanked each other again, and then left the palace under the leadership of the eunuch in the palace.

Standing at the door of the palace, except Zhang Qian and Wu Song, there were only the palace guards who were as tall as pine trees on the side.

Looking at Wang Gao, who was obviously depressed around him, Gao Qiu didn't know how to comfort him. After all, no matter how the first place comforts the second place, the feeling that the first place comforts the second place is more or less false, even if the first place comforts the person is so sincere.

But Wang Gao was not an ordinary child after all. Seeing Gao Qiu's expression, he knew what Gao Qiu was tangled. He smiled and shook his head, stood up straight, and chuckled: "Ha! I thought I was already one of the few geniuses in the world. When I met my brother before, I only thought that he was similar to me, but when I saw him today, I knew that he was really far from him..."

"No, I..."

Gao Qiu felt that he should comfort him a few words and reached out his hand, but he didn't know what to say.

"Hey~! You guys don't need to comfort me. This failure has nothing to do with others. It's all because of poor academic performance. If you have the chance to meet again in the future, you must ask your brothers for advice!"

Wang Gao was very open-minded. After sorting out his emotions, he also relaxed Gao Qiu's heart.

Of course, when Gao Qiu heard Wang Gao's words, he felt at ease and said with a smile: "Okay! Since that's the case, then Gao will wait for that day!"
