Chapter 511: Apprenticeship
Luo Sigong and Wei Chao, who walked out of the palace gate, glanced at each other, and both of them wanted to cry without tears. This time it was self-defeating, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very happy, but now the two of them have put themselves in a dilemma.
"Lord Luo, today's matter is that our family is wrong, and our family should not fall into the ground!" Wei Chao glanced at Luo Sigong, and said with a rather complicated expression, he didn't want to go to guard the spirit of the first emperor.
Shaking his head to interrupt Wei Chao's words, Luo Sigong lowered his head and said, "Father-in-law Wei, now is not the time to talk about this, whether it is the White Lotus Sect or Jiannu, it is a tricky matter. Now you and I are in the same boat in the future, so that we can get through the difficulties together. Besides, the official is really worried about one thing, and if it really turns out as the official expected, things may become more troublesome. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Chao knew what Luo Sigong meant, the expression on his face kept changing, and finally hesitated: "Impossible, right?" ”
"Last time in Zunhua, Jiannu and the White Lotus Sect had already colluded, and it is not strange to come again now." Although Luo Sigong's tone was very gentle, there was deep worry in his eyes.
"Lord Luo, since the White Lotus Sect is here for the White Lotus Holy Maiden, can we do something with the White Lotus Holy Maiden? It is a good way to lure the snake out of the hole, and once it can be successful, it will be able to wipe out all the people of the White Lotus Sect. Wei Chao looked at Luo Sigong and said confidently.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Luo Sigong naturally wouldn't tell the Wei Dynasty that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had such a thing as having an old relationship with the White Lotus Holy Maiden. Not to mention that the White Lotus Holy Maiden is very beautiful, and if she is killed, she can't say that she once asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to interrogate the White Lotus Holy Maiden. But the Emperor of the Apocalypse refused.
Seeing Wei Chao staring at him, Luo Sigong could only shake his head helplessly. There was a teasing tone in his tone: "Grandpa Wei, there are some things you don't understand, it's a man's business!" ”
Wei Chao was stunned for a moment, but soon a shocked look appeared on his face, and he looked at Luo Sigong in disbelief, until Luo Sigong nodded, and Wei Chao was shocked. Stretched out his hand and pointed at Luo Sigong, and said, "Lord Luo." What do you mean by that? There are thousands of women in the world, and that White Lotus Holy Maiden is also something you can touch? How dare you say it with such fanfare, aren't you afraid that our family will go to the emperor to join you? ”
Looking at the excited Wei Dynasty, Luo Sigong's face turned red, and he stretched out his hand and kept gesturing, saying, "You, me!" Grandpa Wei. You! ”
"Lord Luo, our family has always thought that you are a righteous gentleman, but it turns out that you are also such a womanizer, which is really disappointing to our family! Although our family is a eunuch, we are ashamed to be in the company of people like you! As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and strode outside.
Luo Sigong, who was stunned, stood in place. His face was blue and purple for a while, and his lips kept trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
After walking out a short distance, Wei Chao couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud while holding his stomach. Stretched out his hand and pointed at Luo Sigong. The laughter was out of breath. It's not easy to make Luo Sigong deflated, let alone this kind of indefinite bending.
See the Wei Dynasty behave like this. How could Luo Sigong not know that he had been tricked, and strode towards the Wei Dynasty. At this moment, a person's voice sounded behind the Wei Dynasty, saying, "Please stay, the emperor has a will." ”
Luo Sigong hurriedly turned around, the person who came was none other than Wang Chengen. It wasn't until Luo Sigong and Wei Chao both came to him that Wang Chengen spoke: "The emperor's message! ”
Wei Chao and Luo Sigong hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in a respectful tone: "The commander of the Chenjin Yiwei Guard, the Governor of the Slave Dongchang, respectfully invite Sheng'an!" ”
Facing the north, Wang Chengen said respectfully: "Saint Gong'an!" The emperor asked the slave to pass the decree to the two of them, and did their best to do their best. Lord Luo, the emperor has approved the matter of the White Lotus Holy Maiden, as for what to do, the emperor hopes that the adults will think about it themselves. ”
Luo Sigong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to issue such a holy decree, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and hurriedly said: "The minister understands, he must do his best to live up to the emperor's trust." ”
Nodding, Wang Chengen stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Do it well!" The emperor is really angry, the two of you are so self-conscious! After finishing speaking, Wang Chengen turned around and walked towards the palace.
Wei Chao and Luo Sigong glanced at each other, no one had the smile they had just now, and their faces were all unprecedentedly serious. No one spoke, turned around and walked outside.
Inside the palace, the Emperor of the Apocalypse rubbed his swollen forehead, looked at Wang Chengen, who came back to hand over the decree, and said, "How is it?" These two didn't say anything, did they? ”
"Doing errands for the emperor is the duty of being a slave, and there is no way to be Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they are all the private weapons of the Son of Heaven, and they will naturally use their lives solidly." Wang Chengen respectfully walked to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said in a soft tone.
Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice, "Okay, leave them alone." Swinging the Kunning Palace, I want to see the queen. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen agreed, turned around and led the way in front.
Emperor Tianqi felt that the matter was over, but he forgot about the Song brothers to death, if it wasn't for Xu Guangqi, God knows how long these two people would be imprisoned.
At this time, Xu Guangqi was sitting on the chair in the north study, constantly flipping some papers in his hands, which were the results of Song Yingxing's calculations. As the paper flipped, Xu Guangqi's face became more and more excited, and finally he stood up and said, "Which of you two did these?" ”
"It's me!" Song Yingxing didn't know why this kind old man suddenly lost his temper, it seemed that it was because of the things he wrote, so he quickly stood up and respectfully admitted.
"What a hero!" Xu Guangqi looked Song Yingxing up and down, his face showing unconcealed joy, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Song Yingxing suddenly blushed a little, he was thirty-six years old, and he couldn't afford to be a teenager, let alone a hero. Song Yingsheng on the side was also a little stunned, could it be that there is anything special about those things written by his younger brother?
As if seeing through Song Yingxing's thoughts, Xu Guangqi waved his hand and said, "Don't look at the old man like this, and don't be arrogant, the old man makes sense to say this." He took out a book from the shelf, pointed to the elementary arithmetic on it, and said, "Although this book is an entry-level book, there are not many people in the world who can understand it. ”
Looking at Xu Guangqi with surprise, Song Yingxing didn't expect this old man to be able to see at a glance what kind of book he was reading. He also tried to look through the rest of the books, but he couldn't understand them at all, so he had to start with the simplest one.
Ignoring Song Yingxing's different gaze, Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "The old man is really reluctant to lose talents, and he can't see that the jade can't be carved, I don't know if you are willing to worship the old man as a teacher?" ”
Xu Guangqi has a certain degree of attainment in mathematics and physics, but he studied geometry with Matteo Ricci at the beginning, and also translated "Geometric Originals". At the same time, Xu Guangqi has deep attainments in agriculture, architecture, water conservancy and other disciplines, and can be said to be a very remarkable figure. Most of these textbooks compiled by the Emperor of the Apocalypse based on his own memory, Xu Guangqi could understand most of them. If you don't understand something, you can study it slowly. This north study is now only Xu Guangqi can enter alone.
At this time, Song Yingxing was stunned again, looked back at Song Yingsheng, and said with some hesitation: "Sir, I don't know if you want to teach me the things here?" However, his eyes were full of excitement, waiting for Xu Guangqi's answer.
"Of course, the old man never talks empty words, not only some of the old men here teach you, but what is not here, the old man can also teach you." Xu Guangqi looked at Song Yingxing with a smile, it was rare to meet a good apprentice. Although Bi Maokang is also good, Bi Maokang is only interested in firearms, and he is not very interested in other things.
Looking at Xu Guangqi with some embarrassment, Song Yingxing's expression slowly regained his composure after a burst of excitement. Looking at Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing said solemnly: "Please tell me my honorable surname and what I do for a living." Although Song Yingxing is eager to learn, the gentleman does something and does not do something. A teacher for one day and a father for life, Song Yingxing will not be reckless as a teacher. ”
Looking at Song Yingxing's resolute look, Xu Guangqi was even more satisfied, smart and studious, and with good morality, it seems that this Song Yingxing can be his own disciple. Xu Guangqi, who had a well-known mantle, was suddenly overjoyed, patted Song Yingxing's shoulder and said, "Since he wants to accept you as an apprentice, the old man will definitely not hide anything!" ”
"Please sir!" Song Yingxing bowed and was rude, waiting for Xu Guangqi to report his name.
"The old man is a native of Shanghai, Songjiang Prefecture, surnamed Xu Guangqi, and the word is first. As for making a living, thanks to the emperor's refusal to give up, the old man is now a scholar of the Ministry of Officialdom and Industry, and a scholar of Dongge University. Xu Guangqi looked at Song Yingxing with a smile and introduced himself very formally.
Without waiting for Xu Guangqi to finish speaking, Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng were all stunned, and the expressions on their faces were also wonderful. The two of them were killed, and they couldn't imagine that the person in front of them was actually Xu Guangqi, a cabinet scholar.
Although Xu Guangqi's ranking in the cabinet is not high, it is because Xu Guangqi entered the cabinet late. But if you want to win the trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, in addition to Song Chengzong, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, it is Xu Guangqi.
After a long time, Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng finally reacted, hurriedly picked up their clothes and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Student Song Yingxing, student Song Yingsheng, see adults!" ”
Stretching out his hand to help Song Yingsheng up, Xu Guangqi looked at Song Yingxing who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and said, "Now are you willing to worship the old man?" ”
"Thanks to the adults for not giving up, Song Yingxing can't ask for it!" Without any worries in his heart, Song Yingxing naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
Nodding with a smile, Xu Guangqi was old and pregnant, and said, "The old man has a successor!" ”
