The emperor closed his eyes, leaned on the chair, and muttered to himself. There was a look of heartache and reluctance on his old face.
After a long time, he opened his eyes.
"Hu Guang!" The emperor stood up and sat on the dragon chair, holding tea and facing the main pipeline guarding the outside.
"Your Majesty!" Not long after, a eunuch with a delicate face and a whisk in his hand trotted in. He knelt on the ground with a plop, his forehead pressed to the ground, and he replied respectfully.
"Send the order to summon the Turkic envoys tomorrow morning!" A trace of pain flashed through the emperor's half-open eyes. He said to Hu Guang in a decadent voice.
"Here!" Hu Guang kowtowed respectfully, stood up, bent over, and retreated.
After Hu Guang went out, the back door of the study room was pushed open with a creak. A child, about thirteen or fourteen years old, stuck his head out and looked inside. His sneaky look was quite cute.
The emperor, who was leaning on the chair, took a glance. When he saw his lovely grandson, a smile appeared on his frozen face.
Seeing the little guy Xiao Wu looking like this, the emperor deliberately pretended not to see it and still leaned on the dragon chair and fell asleep.
Xiao Wu, who was at the door, saw that Grandpa Huang didn't notice him. He smiled and walked in quietly.
After he walked into the study quietly, he walked carefully to the emperor. He took a closer look at the sleeping grandpa. After looking at him carefully, this little guy actually boldly made a move to the emperor.
grimace.
Seeing that Grandpa Huang didn't react at all, Xiao Wu suddenly became bold. He stood up and walked around the open space in front of the desk with his hands behind his back pretending to be mature.
After doing all this, Xiao Wu walked to the bookshelf against the wall in the study room.
He moved a chair and stood on it. It took him a long time to move the thick book on top.
I wiped my dirty little face, looked at the four big characters in the book, and smiled happily. After jumping off the chair, I hugged the book and prepared to go out.
When he was about to walk out of the imperial study, Xiao Wu looked back and saw the emperor's grandfather sleeping soundly on the dragon chair. He curled his lips, then came back and walked to the emperor. He stood on tiptoe and took off the dragon robe hanging beside him.
He carefully put it on the emperor's body.
After doing all this, Xiao Wu happily prepared to leave.
"Xiao Wu!"
Just when Xiao Wu was about to go out, the emperor, who had been dozing, opened his eyes. He looked at his favorite grandson with warm eyes and called softly.
"Ah, Grandpa Huang, you're awake!" Xiao Wu was startled, turned around and hid the book behind his back, looking at the emperor with bright eyes.
The emperor's expression was slightly stunned for a moment, but he soon regained his composure. He nodded with a smile and said: "Wake up!"
When they met Xiao Wu, he looked guilty, which made the emperor feel funny. He leaned forward and smiled at Xiao Wu, saying, "Come here, Xiao Wu!"
"Oh!" Xiao Wu looked frustrated, lowered his head, and walked over reluctantly.
"What are you reading?" The emperor stroked his beard, reached out and stroked Xiao Wu's head, and asked with a smile.
Xiao Wu reluctantly took out the book.
The emperor lowered his head, glanced at the title of the book, and immediately frowned.
On the book, there are four words written: Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Although the opening chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War is to persuade those in power to avoid fighting, the entire chapter contains strategies for using soldiers to fight. These strategies are either destructive or cruel. They are definitely not what Xiao Wu should learn at his age.
of.
The emperor frowned. He originally wanted to blame Xiao Wu. However, when he thought of the little guy's action just now, his heart warmed. And seeing Xiao Wu's expression of willingness to admit that he had done something wrong, the emperor couldn't bear to blame him.
thought.
He reached out and took Sun Tzu's Art of War from Xiao Wu's hand. After flipping through a few pages, he raised his head and asked in a gentle tone: "Xiao Wu, why did you remember to read this book?"
Xiao Wu raised his head and saw that Grandpa Huang was not angry, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought for a while and said, "That's what the lord minister said! He said that Sun Tzu's Art of War is a good book. It is not only used in wars, but also in war."
Extraordinary, and also extremely useful in business!"
Good minister?
After the emperor heard this name, his face suddenly turned cold.
He just thought that it was the big scholars in the palace who told Xiao Wu. He originally thought that after this incident, he would teach those corrupt people some lessons. However, he never thought that it was Jiang Ning who told Xiao Wu.
The mysterious scholar.
He snorted coldly and wanted to send a message.
However, what Xiao Wu said next made the anger in his heart immediately dissipate. Brought to you by Baidu Tieba!
Xiao Wu lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Jiān Chen said that Xiao Wu cannot read Sun Tzu's Art of War until he has read the Confucian classics and mastered them! However, Xiao Wu was curious and wanted to see if he could make Jiān
What kind of book is Sun Tzu's Art of War that has everyone in admiration?"
After hearing these words, the emperor was stunned for a moment.
He thought about it, but for a moment he couldn't understand what Xiao Wu said about the jinchen's intention of reading Confucian classics first and then the Art of War.
Finally, he shook his head gently to dispel the doubts in his heart. He stretched out his hands and picked up Xiao Wu who bowed his head to admit his mistake. He asked in a gentle tone: "That gentleman, why did you say that?"
After Xiao Wu thought for a moment, he also said with a puzzled look on his face: "He said that you must learn to be a human being first, and then do things!"
"Grandpa Huang, what does he mean by this?" Xiao Wu was puzzled, and finally raised his head and asked Grandpa Huang, who was second only to the omniscient minister in his heart.
The emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing the words from Xiao Wu's mouth: "Be a man first and do things later."
His eyes were wandering as he looked at the warm sunshine on the study window lattice, and his heart was filled with emotion.
"Oh, be a person first, do things later! This scholar hit the nail on the head!"
Lowering his head and looking at Xiao Wu, whose bright eyes were full of expectation, the emperor shook his head and smiled, saying: "You will know the meaning of this sentence after you have memorized the Confucian classics like a stream!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu curled his lips and said disappointedly: "Why do you all say that!"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed, the moonlight was shining brightly on the dark night.
In the palace, there is silence.
Occasionally, the wind blows, and the trees around the red wall sway gently. The projection on the ground is messy.
Under the majestic palace, groups of Qianniu Guards carried swords and stepped on the stone slabs, making bursts of chilling sounds as they walked through the deserted square.
There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps. The entire palace is as tightly guarded as an iron barrel.
Outside the Imperial Study Room, several warriors whose clothes were obviously different from those of Qianniuwei stood there majestically. Their faces were cold, as if they were intimidated by strangers.
Behind him, the bright lights in the study illuminated the windows.
In the imperial study room, the emperor, who had worked hard all day, had a wry smile on his face and listened to the report from the Minister of Rites.
After hearing that Wang Jianfei's eldest son actually fought with several dandies from the capital in front of many people in the tavern, regardless of their status, the emperor looked stunned.
This Wang Jiangong!
The emperor smiled bitterly and shook his head, leaned on the chair, and sighed in his heart, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved.
A few days ago, Jiangning was settled. In order to send a clear signal to the common people, the emperor appointed Wang Jianfei's eldest son as a seventh-rank official.
Although the emperor also knew Wang Jianfei's character, due to various considerations, he still gave him such an official title despite the pressure from the courtiers.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jianfei was so ignorant of promotions that he began to be domineering before he was officially appointed.
If you are really arrogant and domineering, go to Cuihonglou and beat up the Turkic envoy. You have some courage. I really didn’t expect that this Wang Jiangong would be so invincible. He went to fight with a few dandies. Moreover,
He was also beaten.
Useless scholar!
The emperor shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, look at this matter..."
Sitting down, the Minister of Rites was also speechless. He smiled awkwardly, raised his head and looked at the emperor and asked.
The emperor leaned back on the chair and thought for a moment. He opened his eyes and looked at the somewhat embarrassed Rites Master in front of him, and said calmly: "Don't he like fighting? Well, the Taiyuan Prefecture is fighting a war. Since he is so brave, then
Let him go to Taiyuan Prefecture to be the prefect! Huh, Turks are easier to deal with than a few dandies!"
The Master of Rites was dumbfounded.
After being dazed for a moment, Shiro Rites, who was about to take the order, suddenly thought of a question. He stopped, cupped his fists and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work.
This Wang Jianfei is now a seventh-rank official, and according to the laws of this dynasty, the governor is at least a fourth-rank official. Look!"
The emperor, who was troubled by the messy things that happened one day, suddenly became impatient when he heard the Minister of Rites chirping silently and endlessly.
He stood up and replied angrily: "You still need to ask me about such a trivial matter? If it's not enough for the fourth rank, then you won't give him an upgrade to the fourth rank?"
ah?
The Master of Rites was immediately dumbfounded.
This, this is too fast, brought to you by Baidu Tieba!
Wang Jianfei was promoted from a civil servant with no official position to the seventh rank today. In the blink of an eye, he was suddenly promoted to five ranks in a row.
This, this, has never happened before!
However, when I think about Taiyuan Prefecture, it is extremely dangerous with swords and swords flashing.
The Minister of Rites couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and mourned in his heart for the Young Master Wang who was the fastest to be promoted in history and probably the fastest to die.
"Your Majesty, uh, Holy Ming!"
The Master of Etiquette had a look of admiration on his face. After bowing deeply to the emperor, he turned around with a mean smile on his face and walked out of the Imperial Study Room with a trembling body.
It not only gave a signal to the common people, but also prevented the courtiers from reacting too violently. It also blocked the mouths of the noble people.
Killing three birds with one stone, Your Majesty is so clever!
After walking out of the imperial study room, Shirō Rites raised his head and looked at the bright moon over the palace. After taking a deep breath of the cold air, he smiled and headed towards the officials.@.
