"Absurd!" Emperor Zhizheng was furious when he heard this and stared at Xu He.
"Do you think the imperial examination is child's play?"
"Is it the number one pick that you can get if you want it, and reject it if you want to?"
Xu He didn't panic at all when he heard a series of angry questions from Emperor Zhizheng.
This man looked angry on the surface, but there was no trace of anger in his tone.
Haha, I'm scaring people.
However, even though he knew that the emperor was pretending, but he was secretly happy, he still accused him again and again.
"That's it!" Emperor Zhizheng saw Xu Hecheng's fearful look and wanted to laugh in his heart, but his anger remained unabated and said: "Xu He, since you are still young, I won't argue with you about the importance of your words. ”
"Next time, if you treat the court's grace and my grace as child's play, hum..."
Xu He just wanted to laugh when he heard this, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong...
What is the court's grace, and what is my grace?
There seems to be something in this sentence, full of warning.
Just when he was feeling frightened, Wang Ji walked in with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen, please come over. Today, the small kitchen of Kunning Palace has prepared a table of exquisite banquets for Your Majesty and the Number One Scholar!"
Emperor Zhizheng ignored Wang Ji when he heard this, and instead said coldly to Xu He: "Who are you still kneeling to show me? Get up and follow me to the banquet!"
Wang Ji knew the emperor too well.
Although I didn't know what had just happened, I knew when I heard His Majesty's tone that although he looked stormy on the outside, he was actually gentle and peaceful on the inside.
How is this that you are angry at Duke Zhuangyuan?
Your Majesty always laughs when he gets angry.
When Xu He followed Emperor Zhizheng to the banquet, he discovered that in addition to the siblings Queen Xie and Xie Kun, the King of Shu was also present at the banquet.
The King of Shu, Zhang Huan, was actually present. When he saw Xu He, his eyes lit up at first, but then he smiled and greeted Emperor Zhizheng: "Father!"
After Emperor Zhengzheng saw his son, he was not as talkative as Xu Heshi. The King of Shu saluted him, but he just nodded and said casually: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "I haven't visited the palace for a few days to see my mother. Today I brought some wick cakes sent by my subordinates for my father and mother to try!"
After saying that, he waved. Seeing this, Wang Ji quickly asked the little eunuch to bring the plate to Emperor Zhizheng.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhizheng scolded him without even looking at it: "How can you bring things from outside into the palace at will? Wang Ji, he doesn't know anything, and you don't know anything either?"
When Wang Ji heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "This old slave saw His Highness's filial piety and couldn't bear to brush it off, so..."
"Go get ten boards in a moment!"
…
The originally joyful "Family Banquet" was suddenly turned into a cold spot when Emperor Zhizheng made such a fuss.
Fortunately, Queen Xie suddenly smiled and said: "Zhen'er, next time you want to honor your father, you can find a recipe from the people, and then teach your mother, and she will make it for your father to try! In this way, your mother will learn the craft. , your father is blessed with the best of both worlds!"
Zhang Xuan said dullly: "I know!"
Although Emperor Zhizheng did not express his position at this time, he did not object either. He obviously accepted the steps given by the Queen.
Seeing this, Empress Xie smiled and said to Wang Ji: "Wang Ji, didn't you say when you came here last time to deliver the decree that your back was sore because of your age? I'll just write down the ten notes this time. If I forget again, Punish them all together!”
Wang Ji was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly knelt on the ground to look at Emperor Zhizheng.
In the end, Emperor Zhizheng still gave the queen face, and finally said with a "hum": "Just do what the queen wants!"
When Queen Xie heard this, she smiled happily and said: "Sit down, sit down, everyone, it's rare to have so many people in Kunning Palace. Let's all try my dishes today!"
The King of Shu was also a fool. After sitting down and chatting with Xie Kun and Xu He for a few words, the unhappiness just now disappeared.
"Xu He, I really didn't expect that you would be the number one scholar in high school. It's so amazing. There has never been anyone who has won six consecutive prizes in history. Xu Liushou, you are the number one scholar in our Wei Dynasty! "
Xu He smiled and said: "Your Highness, the six small three yuan poems are nothing, but the big three yuan poems are all appointed by your majesty. Rather than saying that I am the number one scholar in the Wei Dynasty, it is better to say that it is your majesty's grace that makes me what I am today. .”
Xie Kun was listening and secretly rolled his eyes while his superior, Zhengdi, was not paying attention.
Good guy, your kid is not so good at taking pictures outside the palace, right?
How come? When you meet a big leader, is your talent suddenly enlightened?
At this time, the King of Shu suddenly turned to Emperor Zheng and said: "Father, I want to study some books with Xu He. Although I can't take the imperial examination, I can still understand some things!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Emperor Zhizheng, was stunned.
Emperor Zheng, Queen Xie, Xie Kun and others stared at Zhang Huan.
Zhang Xuan said in surprise: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
For the first time, Xu He heard Queen Xie say in a reproachful tone: "Zhen'er, if you want to study, you have to be arranged by the palace officials. How can you ask Xu He to go to your house? No!"
Zhang Xuan was anxious: "Mother, what's wrong with this? How many people in this world are better educated than Xu He?"
Queen Xie was anxious: "If it doesn't work, it won't work!"
After finishing speaking, she took a careful look at Emperor Zhizheng.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhizheng was already picking up the dishes that had just been laid out in front of him with chopsticks.
At this time, Xie Kun whispered to the King of Shu beside him.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huan said: "I'm not studying to be the prince. Whoever wants to be the prince can be the prince. I also have brother Qi Wang above me. Uncle, please don't think too much, okay?"
Xie Kun: "..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhizheng suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhang Huan.
Empress Xie looked nervously at the emperor and then at her son. Just as she was about to speak, Emperor Zhizheng stretched out his hand to stop her.
Emperor Zhizheng stared at the King of Shu and said: "You haven't made a request to me for so many years. Since you have asked me this time, let Xu He have time to go to your house and teach you how to read!"
Hearing Emperor Zhizheng's words, Queen Xie, Xie Kun, and Xu He were all so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
You know, in the Wei Dynasty, there were rules for princes to study.
Only the crown prince can be taught by Hanlin bachelors in the east chamber of Wenhua Hall.
The King of Shu was just a prince, and he stayed in the capital because he was too young to join the feudal vassal.
Xu He is the number one scholar and will definitely enter the Hanlin Academy in the future.
It was against the rules to ask Xu He to teach the King of Shu how to read.
But Emperor Zhizheng actually agreed.
Everyone was shocked, could it be that the King of Shu...
But the next second Emperor Zheng said: "Since someone has taught you, then King Qi should also ask the Hanlin Academy to send a new scholar there."
After hearing these words, Queen Xie and Xie Kun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
But then the two of them felt a little disappointed.
The prince has been deposed for so long, and the throne has not yet been decided.
It would be hypocritical to say that Queen Xie and Xie Kun, their uncles, never thought about letting the King of Shu take the throne.
When they just heard that Emperor Zhizheng had agreed to let Xu He teach the King of Shu to study, they were not prepared at all. They said it was a surprise, but it was not.
But I heard that King Qi also sent people. To be honest, they were lost at the moment but didn’t run away!
