"Time!"

The emperor closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and muttered to himself. The old face had a look of heartache and reluctance.

It was a long time before he opened his eyes.

"Hu Guang!" The emperor propped himself up, sat on the dragon chair, held tea, and faced the main pipe of the inner hall guarding outside.

"Your Majesty!" After a while, a eunuch with a dustwhine in his hand and a delicate face trotted in. He fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead against the ground, and replied respectfully.

"Deliver the decree, tomorrow morning, summon the Turkic envoys!" A hint of pain flashed in the emperor's half-open eyes. The voice was a little decadent to Hu Guangdao.

"Whoa!" Hu Guang respectfully kowtowed, got up, bent over, and retreated.

After Hu Guang went out, the back door of the study was pushed open with a creak. A child, about thirteen or fourteen years old, poked his head out and looked inside. The ghostly look is quite cute.

The emperor, who was leaning back in his chair, glanced at it. Seeing his lovely imperial grandson, a smile appeared on his icy face.

See Xiao Wu, this little guy, like this. The emperor deliberately pretended not to see it, and still leaned back on the dragon chair and pretended to sleep.

And Xiao Wu at the door, after seeing that the emperor's grandfather didn't find himself. He smiled and crept in.

After he walked lightly into the study, he first walked cautiously in front of the emperor. took a closer look at the imperial grandfather who was asleep. After taking such a closer look, this little guy had the audacity to make a grimace at the emperor.

Seeing that the imperial grandfather didn't react at all, Xiao Wu suddenly became bolder. He stood up, pretending to be an old man with his hands behind his back. In the open space in front of the desk, I walked around.

After doing all this, Xiao Wu walked under the bookshelf against the wall in the study.

He moved a chair and stood on it, enough for half a day. That's when the thick book on top was removed.

wiped his dirty little face, looked at the four big characters on the book, and smiled happily. After jumping out of the chair, I was ready to go out with my book in my arms.

When he was about to walk out of the imperial study, Xiao Wu glanced back at the imperial grandfather who was sleeping on the dragon chair. Pout, then come back. Walk up to the emperor. Standing on tiptoe, he took off the dragon robe hanging on the side, and carefully draped it over the emperor.

After doing all this, Xiao Wucai happily prepared to leave.

"Xiao Wu!"

Just when Xiao Wu was about to go out, the emperor, who had been pretending to sleep, opened his eyes. He looked at him warmly, his favorite imperial grandson. Whispered.

"Ah, Grandpa Huang, you're awake!" Xiao Wu was startled, turned his head, hid the book behind his back, and looked at the emperor with bright eyes.

The emperor looked slightly stunned, but soon regained his composure. He nodded with a smile and said, "Wake up!" ”

Xiao Wu before meeting looked like a thief, and the emperor felt funny in his heart. Leaning forward, he smiled and hooked his hand at Xiao Wu: "Come here, Xiao Wu!" ”

"Oh!" Xiao Wu looked discouraged, lowered his head, and walked over reluctantly.

"What a book 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 looked down and immediately frowned after glancing at the title of the book.

In the book, there are four words: Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Sun Tzu's Art of War, although it begins with a chapter, is to persuade those in power to do less fighting. But throughout the text, all that is contained are some strategies for fighting with soldiers. These schemes are either shady or cruel. It's definitely not Xiao Wu's age, he should learn it.

The emperor frowned, originally wanting to blame Xiao Wu. However, when I think of the little guy's action just now, my heart warms. And seeing that Xiao Wu looked like he was willing to admit his mistakes when he did something wrong, the emperor couldn't afford to blame him.

He reached out and took Sun Tzu's Art of War from Xiao Wu's hand, and turned a few pages. Raising his head, he asked in a gentle tone, "Xiao Wu, how did you remember to read this book?" ”

Xiao Wu raised his head and saw that Grandpa Huang was not angry, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought for a moment and said, "It was that annihilator who said it!" He said that Sun Tzu's Art of War was a good book. Not only in war, but also in business! ”

Annihilator?

When the emperor heard this name, his face suddenly turned cold.

He just thought that it was those big Confucians in the palace who told Xiao Wu. Originally, I wanted to teach those rotten people some lessons after this incident. However, he never thought that what he told Xiao Wu was Jiang Ning's mysterious scholar.

With a cold snort, he was about to pass the word.

However, Xiao Wu's next words made the anger in his heart dissipate suddenly.

Xiao Wu lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Annihilation said that Xiao Wu is not allowed to read Sun Tzu's Art of War before he is familiar with Confucian classics and has mastered it!" However, Xiao Wu was curious, and wanted to see what kind of book Sun Tzu's Art of War could make the ministers admire! ”

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

He thought about it, but he couldn't understand for a while that the annihilator in Xiao Wu's mouth said that he wanted to read the Confucian classics first and then read the art of war.

Finally, he shook his head slightly, dispelling the doubts in his heart. Stretched out his hands and hugged Xiao Wu, who bowed his head and admitted his mistake. He asked in a gentle tone, "That annihilator, why did you say that?" ”

After Xiao Wu thought for a while, he also looked puzzled: "He said, you have to learn to be a person first, and then do things!" ”

"Grandpa Huang, what does he mean by this?" Xiao Wu was puzzled, and finally raised his head and asked the imperial grandfather who was second only to the omniscient annihilator in his heart.

The emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing the words that came out of Xiao Wu's mouth to be a man first and then do things.

His eyes were a little wandering as he looked at the warm sunlight on the window lattice of the study, and his heart was full of emotion.

"Oh, be a man first, then do things! This scholar is in a word! ”

Lowering his head and looking at Xiao Wu, whose bright eyes were full of anticipation, the emperor shook his head and smiled, and said, "After you memorize the Confucian classics backwards, you will know the meaning of this sentence!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wu pursed his lips and said in disappointment: "Why do you all say that!" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and laughed.

…… At night, the moonlight is falling.

Inside the palace, there was silence.

Occasionally, the wind blows, and the trees around the red wall shake gently. The projection on the ground was a mess.

Under the majestic palace, a team of Qianniu guards carried waist knives. Stepping on the stone slabs, making a chilling sound, he walked through this empty square.

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. The entire palace was heavily defended, like an iron bucket.

Outside the imperial study, several samurai, who were obviously dressed differently from Qianniuwei, stood there majestically. His face was cold, as if he was a raw person.

Behind him, the bright lights in the study illuminated the windows.

In the imperial study, the emperor, who had been tired all day, had a wry smile on his face, listening to the attendants of the Ministry of Rites under his seat report on the matter.

After hearing that Wang Jianfei's eldest son was fighting with a few gentlemen in the capital in front of the faces of many people in the tavern, regardless of his identity, the emperor was stunned.

This Wang Jiangong!

The emperor shook his head with a wry smile, leaned back in his chair, and sighed in his heart, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved.

Some time ago, it was said that Jiangning was decided. In order to give a clear signal to the Shu people, the emperor appointed Wang Jianfei's eldest son as a seven-rank official.

Although the emperor also knows that this Wang Jianfei's surname. However, due to various considerations, he was still given such an official title under the pressure of the courtiers.

Unexpectedly, this Wang Jianfei was so ignorant of promotion, and before he could get the official appointment, he began to educate him.

If you are really proud and arrogant, you can go to the Cuihong Mansion and beat up that Turkic envoy, and you kid has a little guts. I really didn't expect this Wang Jiangong to be so uncarvable. Go and fight with a few of the gentlemen. And he was beaten.

Useless scholars!

The emperor shook his head and said with a wry smile in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you see, this matter ......"

Sitting down, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was also speechless, he smiled awkwardly, raised his head and looked at the emperor and asked.

The emperor leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment. opened his eyes and looked at the somewhat cramped waiter in front of him, and said lightly: "Doesn't he like to fight?" That's good, the Taiyuan Mansion generation is at war. Since he is so brave, let him go to Taiyuan Mansion to be the governor of the palace! Hmph, the Turks are better to deal with than a few gentlemen! ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites was dumbfounded.

After being stunned for a moment, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was about to take the order, suddenly thought of a question. Stopped, clasped his fists and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work." This Wang Jianfei is now a seven-rank official, and according to the laws of this dynasty. Fu Yin is at least from the fourth grade. Look! ”

The emperor, who was messed up by all kinds of things for a day, heard the silent chirping of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites endlessly. I suddenly got a little impatient.

He stood up and replied angrily, "Do you still need to ask me about this little thing?" If it's not enough to go from the fourth grade, then you won't give him a promotion from the fourth grade? ”

Yes?

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites was dumbfounded.

Well, that's too fast.

This Wang Jianfei has only been promoted from an unofficial and unemployed person to a seventh-grade person today. In the blink of an eye, he suddenly rose five levels in a row.

This, this, has never been seen before!

However, when I think of Taiyuan Mansion, it is now the sword and sword. It's dangerous.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and mourned in his heart for the prince who was the fastest official in history and estimated to be the fastest to die.

"Your Majesty, uh, Shengming!"

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites admired his face, and after bowing deeply to the emperor, he turned around with a cheap smile on his face. With a trembling body, he walked out of the imperial study.

It not only gave a signal to the Shu people, but also did not make the courtiers' reaction too intense. And it also blocked the mouths of the scholars.

Three birds with one stone, Your Majesty is clever!

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who walked out of the imperial study, raised his head to look at the bright moon above the palace, took a deep breath of cold air, smiled, and walked towards the ministry.
