Back then, Xia Ke's eldest son, Xia Zixi, won the Jinshi, but did not enter the ranks, but instead used the stepping stone of the Jinshi to go to Yunshan Academy to teach.

You must know that if you teach, it is a place where you have no choice but to find out if you have failed many times and have no hope of a career.

Of course, there are many well-known scholars and Confucians, but they are also seniors. Or for various reasons, stuck on the hurdle of Jinshi, it is difficult to go further, and only when you are discouraged do you devote yourself to learning, and finally become everyone.

Or after the bumpy road to the official career, Ding worries and other reasons, there is no heart to enter the office. With his knowledge and career experience, he applied for a prestigious college and taught students.

But there is no one like Xia Zixi, who has just obtained the middle school and is in the second class, so he gave up his career to teach in the academy.

Back then, this matter was really taken as a point and discussed for a while.

Therefore, when the emperor mentioned Xia Zixi just now, people just thought that this name was familiar, but when it was associated with Yunshan Academy, they immediately remembered that this was Xia Ke's eldest son.

Looking back, think about the emperor's reward to Xia Zixi, which was put together with praising Xia Ke's daughter.

It's Xia Ke's eldest son, and he didn't run away.

For a while, people's eyes looking at Xia Ke were extremely complicated, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred were entangled, and they were almost beating with tears.

Big brother, you are going to heaven!

Your Xia Zitang has only been promoted for a few days, and this is a son and a daughter, and he was praised by the emperor on the first day of the new year.

Your three children are all out of the ordinary, and they all have a future than the children carefully cultivated by other families, right?

The worst thing is that the emperor praised the Xia family's daughter, and they could still put forward a different opinion and make a fuss about her business, even if it was rejected by the emperor in the end, they also expressed the unhappiness in their hearts.

But Xia Zixi's matter, how can you say this?

Xia Zixi is a serious scholar of the Eight Classics, and it is said that he was very popular in Yunshan Academy at a young age.

If he really made outstanding contributions to arithmetic, and was rewarded with some silver by the emperor and given the title of doctor of arithmetic, others had no reason to oppose it at all.

Everyone looked at Xia Ke's eyes, which was called a bitter hatred. Could it be that they, the important ministers of the country, have to admit that Xia Ke's son is the most top-notch?

People are far away from the temple, and they can be rewarded by the emperor, which makes them think of doing things carefully, and how can the important ministers who are about to be questioned by the emperor at every turn be embarrassed?

Feeling Zhou Leng's fluttering eyes, Xia Ke knew that he had to express something.

He first made a sorry note to his colleagues and superiors, who were staring at him openly or implicitly.

As a result, none of the big guys received it, and they all scoffed. What is he sorry for? I'm sorry, my child is so good, I accidentally compare your children to yours, really didn't I mean to?

Above, the emperor coughed heavily, and the courtiers who knelt on the ground sideways, turned their heads, and turned their heads sharply, retracted their eyes and straightened their kneeling postures.

"Alright, get up. In the future, use your thoughts more on government affairs, and think more about how you can make the people of the world feel better. There will be less fear. "The emperor spoke very unpleasantly.

The ministers had been kneeling for a while, and they wished they could stand up sooner rather than the emperor's words.

There was a flurry of kowtowing thanksgiving, and then a flurry of uproar, and they each stood back in their positions.

Only Xia Ke knelt in place, and when all the courtiers were in place, he kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." ”

"Xia Shaoqing has something to say, just talk about it." An interesting smile appeared on the emperor's face. He wanted to see if Xia Ke really had the courage to pull this handle of the Xia family out of his hands.

Xia Ke naturally didn't dare, kowtowed to thank the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty has rewarded you, and the whole Weichen Mansion should be grateful to Dade." It's okay for a little girl, a woman has a hard time, and if she can be praised by the emperor, she will naturally have more protection. But the words of the dog, to be rewarded so heavily by His Majesty, are really a little reluctant. ”

"Oh? Where is it reluctantly? Let's hear it. The Emperor's tone was not good.

Xia Ke raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead, he just wanted the courtiers to be less hostile to him and his two sons, even if he accepted the emperor's reward, he couldn't show too much peace of mind.

"The simple notation and algorithm of numbers are really discovered by a mistake by a dog, not a matter of study. In such a situation, let him receive His Majesty's reward and the title of Doctor of Arithmetic, I am afraid that his name is not worthy of the truth. ”

Xia Ke raised his head and looked at the emperor very sincerely, "Weichen thinks that His Majesty mentioned this matter in the early dynasty today is already a great honor for the dog, and Weichen's father and son are already deeply frightened. ”

"That's right." The emperor was noncommittal, but he had already heard from Xia Ke's words that Xia Zixi must have learned the new algorithm.

"A few years ago, I asked you, if Xia Zixi is interested in a career, have you thought about it?" The Emperor's old words are repeated.

The people present remembered that the emperor had indeed summoned Xia Ke a few years ago. Afterwards, when people asked, Xia Ke also answered vaguely, saying that the emperor asked about the condition of his children.

…… It turned out that Xia Ke really didn't tell a lie, and the emperor did ask his children. It's just that this question is far from the kind of question they can understand.

Everyone scraped the eye knife on Xia Ke again.

Look, to raise a son, you have to raise Xia Zixi.

The children of these families, that is, the sons and daughters of these families, are full of energy, please spur, all kinds of spurs, good can get a fame, and with the help of the elders, they can have a priority choice in the post.

But the vast majority of children can't be mentioned, and repeated failures abound. What's more, no matter how you teach, you can't teach it well, Chengli Hengjie angry horses, chickens and dogs, except for causing trouble, there is nothing else.

Xia Ke's son casually became a jinshi, and it was not uncommon for people to be officials, but the emperor rushed to ask: Boy, do you have any intention of being an official? If you have anything, I will arrange it for you.

Sure enough, people can't be compared.

Xia Ke's pressure increased dramatically, like the kind of Mount Tai pressing on the top.

The emperor's question, in front of the public, how could he refuse? This is a proper refutation of the emperor's son, will he be beheaded by a board?

"Your Majesty, the dog's long-standing wish has been to teach and educate people, and he is very satisfied with the current situation......" Xia Ke couldn't say anymore.

Fortunately, Xia Ke's efforts were not in vain, and the ministers seemed to be able to feel that his liver trembled with fright, and Xu immediately felt much better.

Let's just say, there is such a son who does not take the usual path, it is really terrible, look at the scare of Lord Xia, his voice is trembling.

"That's very good." The emperor's face did not change, he could scare Xia Ke like this, better than expected, "Then let him work more on arithmetic, it is best to study the simple algorithm in depth, so that our Celestial Empire's magic can improve." Okay, let's break up if there's nothing else to do. ”

This last sentence was addressed to all the ministers present.
