Chapter 999: Secretly smacked
Listening to the emperor tell the story of Emperor Taizu in person, Zhang Shou hadn't even thought about this kind of scene before.
Now he vaguely understands that Emperor Taizu, who Zhu Ying often talks about, said that maybe he learned it from her father Zhu Jing, the Duke of Zhao Guogong, or maybe from Mrs. Tai, but there is another possible way to learn, that is, to learn it from the emperor himself!
Because while the emperor was strolling forward, he also said Emperor Taizu. It seems that this Son of Heaven is not the first time to come to the country, and whenever he comes to a building, he doesn't pay much attention to those scholars or miscellaneous servants who don't pay respects, but will point and point to a story about Emperor Taizu back then.
"Emperor Taizu often said that kneeling is a great etiquette, and a man has gold under his knees, so he can be a kowtow worm if he is fine. In the Song Dynasty, even the last dynasty did not have to kneel back, since our dynasty drove out the northern captives, then the etiquette should also restore the ancient rites, and it is not easy for people to bend their knees. Therefore, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he only bowed down at the three major pilgrimages every year, and the rest were all simple. ”
It was the first time for Zhang Shou to listen to these stories, so he relished them, and the others didn't know how many times they had heard the story of Emperor Taizu told by their own adults, and they didn't dare to show their tired faces, it was really torture.
However, what was more tormented than them was undoubtedly Zhou Xun and other Guozi supervisors who didn't expect Chu Kuan to open his eyes and tell nonsense.
No one expected the emperor to come so quickly!
When the emperor stood in front of the door of the lecture hall one by one, not to mention that the doctors and teaching assistants were so nervous that they began to stammer, and they came out of breath in the morning, and the prisoners who gathered together did not even dare to breathe, they were almost suffocated!
And if it weren't for the emperor not interrupting people to ask questions, Luo Siye felt that his heart was about to pop out when he reached his throat!
But even so, seeing Zhang Shou and the group of gentlemen following the emperor like guards, Zhu Ying was still dragging Zhu Er to talk about something beside him, he still couldn't help but feel jealous, and he wished that the person who accompanied the monarch at this moment was himself.
The hurdle of the fourth grade is one step higher, and it is a squire to be placed in the sixth department, and it is not impossible to put it in the cabinet...... As long as Jane is in the heart of the emperor, some people will be promoted to the sky in such a step! Of course, it is true that if you are not pushed into the cabinet by the court, you will be laughed at......
As a result, Luo Siye could only take a few petty officials in the book hall to follow the emperor from afar, but he was very curious about why Zhou Xun, the prince of the country, was so calm and calm, and really handed over the matter to Zhang Shou, so he stood by and watched, and he didn't even show his face in front of the emperor. When he followed around and around, and finally saw a building in the distance, he finally found Zhou Xun.
At the same time, it suddenly dawned on him why didn't Lord Sacrificial Wine come out...... Because the person was carrying a few handymen carrying buckets and rags, and there was a long object wrapped in a red cloth on the ground on the side, he was confronting a sixteen or seventeen-year-old weak-crowned boy in front of the Jiuzhang Hall!
Zhou Xun wanted to take someone to quickly clean up the Jiuzhang Hall, and then hang the plaque with the inscription of Emperor Taizu's imperial pen, who knew that he was stopped!
Although there were more than a dozen people on Zhou Xun's side, they were easily stopped several times when they rushed up, and some of the miscellaneous servants who went up with a flat shoulder were actually snatched away from the "weapon" by their backhands and beaten back with their heads.
Faced with this scene of being bullied by the widows, Luo Siye somehow wanted to laugh, but when he saw the emperor taking Zhang Shou and his party forward with great interest, he felt that his heart was up and down.
"Ah Liu, that's good!"
Zhu Ying's sudden shouting successfully woke up Zhou Xun, who was gritting his teeth but could not break the five fingers of the young man. He turned slowly, and when he saw that the Emperor had arrived, his face turned white. He had already planned well before, and when Zhang Shou and the others went to meet him, he solved the problem of Jiuzhangtang first with lightning speed.
Even though the rotten floor can't be helped, there is still time to replace other things!
But when he arranged for the doctoral assistant professor and the supervisors who were listening to the lecture, he hurriedly rushed over, but found that the miscellaneous servants who had been sent long ago were blocked by a teenager, and he himself went up to scold him in vain, not to mention that the cleaning work could not be carried out, and the plaque specially taken out could not be hung, but the emperor came as fast as lightning!
Therefore, Zhou Xun could only watch the emperor take the lead and get closer and closer, and in the end, he went straight to Ah Liu. Seeing that the young man who had stopped him silently just now took a step back to the side, and then bowed deeply, he couldn't help but hate it even more.
This dumb man who doesn't know how to be polite actually recognizes the emperor!
However, to the surprise of Zhou Xun and Zhang Shouquan, the emperor actually stopped and asked, "You are Ah Liu?"
"Yes. Even in front of the emperor, Ah Shou still cherishes words like gold.
But Zhou Xun was angry, since you are not dumb, why didn't you say a word no matter what I said just now!
"Hua Qi said, on the night of August 14, you fought against the chaotic army, and you also picked up an arrow from the assassin. ”
Seeing that Ah Liu lowered his head, he didn't seem to have any reaction to such a compliment, and the emperor didn't think it was angry, he turned his head to look at Zhou Xun and those miscellaneous servants, and he asked lightly: "I want to know, what is going on?"
Zhang Shou stopped Lu Sanlang, who was eager to try, and at the same time stopped Zhu Ying with a look. Since his goal seems to have been achieved at the moment, there is no need to rush out and fall into the well. In case the prince of the country is a priest and a drunkard, it will not be too late for him to come forward.
"Your Majesty, this Jiuzhangtang is the place where Emperor Taizu established the arithmetic department back then, but because there have been no supervisors willing to learn arithmetic for many years, and no one is familiar with arithmetic as a doctoral assistant, it has been vacant for many years. ”
Zhou Xun turned his heart sideways, and simply told the truth: "The plaque inscribed by Taizu Yubi is a valuable thing, so the ministers ordered people to take it off and treasure it in the treasury of the Guozijian to prevent it from decaying after being exposed to the wind and rain." As for the poor maintenance in the Jiuzhang Hall, so that the cobwebs are dense, the floors are rotten, and the furniture is dusty, the ministers are indeed negligent. If it weren't for Dr. Zhang taking Lu Zhu to clean up last night, Chen would not have noticed. ”
After saying this, he knelt on the ground with a posture of sincere pleading.
Faced with this scene, Zhang Shou couldn't help but secretly sigh, thinking that if he couldn't be fooled, he would immediately confess his guilt, which was really decisive enough.
Who knew that at this moment, next to the plaque wrapped in red cloth, a small official who had originally bowed his head and lowered his hands suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Your Majesty, Da Sicheng is avoiding the important and light, he knows that the Taizu plaque is hollow, and there are 100 Taizu secret scrolls, so he took them off and hid them in the treasury, racking his brains to get the secret scrolls out!"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention that Luo Siye, who sneaked over behind him, was dumbfounded, and a large group of gentlemen were also dumbfounded. However, the most surprising person was none other than Zhu Ying. She subconsciously pinched the second brother beside her, until she heard a scream, she glared at her viciously. Zhu Er was like a chicken that had been pinched by the throat, and hurriedly shut up.
After glaring at her brother, Zhu Ying couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "It's not a dream...... But how could there be a Taizu secret scroll in this plaque? Isn't that the same as those legendary scripts in the bookstore!"
But Zhou Xun was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead. He opened his mouth but found that he couldn't make a sound, and immediately panicked, and subconsciously slammed his head on the ground, and finally cried out through the pain.
"Your Majesty, there is no such thing!"
The emperor ignored Zhou Xun's confession, he looked at the plaque directly, suddenly strode forward, uncovered the red cloth covering his head, and saw that it was the three words of Jiuzhangtang with the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, he suddenly knocked on the center and edge of the plaque with his hand, and after listening to the sound, he laughed.
"You say, shouldn't I split this plaque and find out the Taizu Secret Scroll?"
