On the first day of the new year, the ceremony of supporting the government hall was carried out as usual, and there was no scene of being amazed by glass like last year. The Emperor's end-of-year report was also decent.

What Xia Bin was looking forward to and worried about didn't happen after all.

At the beginning of the new year, this ceremony in the palace ended so plainly, and the ministers began a happy long holiday once a year, except for those who had to be on duty.

In the palace, there are not many things for the emperor, according to Qu Jiang's explanation, the emperor used a pen to calculate vertical addition and subtraction, and tried to calculate many times.

At first, the discomfort of the hand passed quickly, and the rest was all simple and convenient. After trying for a few days, after the vertical pen calculation, I used the calculation method to calculate, which was completely correct.

In this way, if this kind of pen algorithm can be studied in depth, it may really be able to make the Celestial Empire's magic count out of the calculation.

The emperor was very optimistic about this prospect, and he was also one of the many princes in his day, who taught the royal family and dabbled in various subjects, and knew the complexity and incomprehension of arithmetic.

The emperor pondered, if such a convenient arithmetic method was promoted, who would be better to find to do it?

No matter who delves into the number of techniques in the end, the initiator who can re-enter history must be Xia Zixi.

After confirming this idea, the emperor asked Liu Xie to investigate Xia Zixi a little more, and learned that he had not been teaching in Yunshan Academy for a long time, and he was young, but he was already quite famous.

Xia Ke is an official and upright, not a group or a party. Xia Zitang is a straightforward military general with a bit of a Jianghu atmosphere, with a bright personality. As an official, he has the style of a father.

In the court, because of King Jing, the eldest son, although the crown prince has been established, the son of heaven is weak, and King Jing and several clans have been restless.

Now, the grandson is young, and he has to leave a stable and reliable team for the grandson.

In the next ten or twenty years, Xia Ke was the age to enter the cabinet, if his heart remained unchanged, Xia Zitang at that time could also master part of the capital's troops, plus Shao Yi.

With such a guarantee, even if someone has a different heart, there is no chance of success.

Therefore, before supporting Xia Ke's father and son, there must be a way to restrain the Xia family. Now there is, it is the most taboo plagiarism for scholars and even craftsmen.

With Xia Ke's career experience, you should be able to understand what he means, right?

This is interesting, agreeing to let Xia Zixi assume the reputation of the new arithmetic method, which is nothing more than giving the emperor a handle. No promise...... Hmph, that means the Xia family has different intentions, right?

He is the supreme emperor, how can you say no?

Well, it's time for Taisun to get along with Xia Ke's eldest grandson.

So, just after the third year of junior high school, Shao Yi came to the door.

Xia Ke, father and son and Shao Yi were silent in the study for a long time, and finally Xia Ke sighed and said to Xia Zixi: "As subjects of the Son of Heaven, we should share the emperor's worries. Go, let Brother Han pack up and go to Yanwang's Mansion with Captain Shao. ”

turned his head and instructed Xia Zitang: "You also change your clothes and send Brother Han'er over." ”

Xia Zixi knew that this trip to the troubled waters, the Xia family was decided. I had no choice but to get up, but I heard Xia Ke continue: "Inform Brother Han of the identity of King Yan, and there should still be a number of courtesies." But don't be too stubborn, King Yan is still a child after all, and there must be some childlike fun. ”

Shao Yi got up with Xia Zixi and the two brothers, and bowed to Xia Ke again and again to thank him. I also admire it in my heart, I admire Xia Ke's accurate grasp of the emperor's meaning, and I admire the emperor's accuracy in seeing people to the point of horror.

Shao Yi and Xia Zitang sent Xia Han to the Yanwang Mansion, met the grandson, and withdrew. was arranged in the house next door, bored and waiting for news, ready to take Xia Han home.

Outside a two-story pavilion in the house next door, Shao Yi looked at no one around and whispered to Xia Zitang.

"Did my uncle mention the emperor to the fourth brother?"

Xia Zitang glanced at him, how could this kind of thing be mentioned to others casually? Even if this other person is Shao Yi, he thinks he can rely on someone, but this kind of thing has to be hidden in his stomach.

"What do you mean? Don't understand. Xia Zitang's answer was concise and to the point.

"Cut!" Shao Yi was disdainful, "It must be because you are a reckless man, so my uncle won't say anything to you." The second brother and Miss Xia must know that when Qingyun Zhai opens for the New Year, I will ask Miss Xia. If Miss Xia doesn't know, I can remind her one or two. ”

Xia Zitang leaned on the railing outside the warm pavilion and moved, and finally remembered the admonition of Commander Lan and his father and brother, suppressed the urge to jump up, and said lightly: "There is a difference between men and women, there is no business in business, you better abide by the rules and don't go in and out of the place where the little sister is." Otherwise, if you annoy me one day, should I give you some color? ”

Shao Yi froze, looking at Xia Zitang, who was calm and calm, and admired him for being able to change his temperament so quickly, and he was actually very calm and relaxed.

"Alright, don't pretend to me. Can't you see it today? The fourth brother's family and I are afraid that we will be tied to the same boat with King Yan in the future. Shao Yi said.

Xia Zitang glanced at him depressedly and acquiesced.

Shao Yi was in a good mood: "So, the fourth brother knows what the emperor means, right?" It doesn't matter, the emperor is good, just sitting in that position that everyone covets, if he is open to trust others, I am afraid that after so many years, there will be no bones left. ”

"Smack." Shao Yi's head was cut off by Xia Zitang.

Shao Yi covered his head with his hands and glared angrily at Xia Zitang: It's too much, right? Is the master's head just being beaten?

Xia Zitang said provocatively: "What's the matter, before, my face was hit casually." ”

Shao Yi wants to cry without tears, can it be the same? It's a fight, it's a fight, you can hit anything. This is so good, he was slapped on the head......

Xia Zitang ignored it and said with disdain: "It's not that I said you, you are too casual to speak." If there are no bones left, can you say it to anyone? You're not afraid of death, brother, I'm still afraid of being implicated. ”

Shao Yi decisively put his hand down and snorted. It is thanks to him that he treats Xia Zitang as a brother and his own family member to be able to say such things to him.

As a result, he was treated as an outsider.

He was still indignant here, and Xia Zitang was already muttering: "Alas, it turns out that there is such a big risk in doing an errand well." I had known that when I was chasing the bandits in Hushan, I would have done it later and gave the credit to others. ”

Shao Yi has experienced a lifetime, but he doesn't have much awareness to see through the world, he said: "This is a good thing that no other family can ask for, where did you come from so much dissatisfaction?" What are you afraid of, first accumulate meritorious deeds, and then retire after success. At that time, the identity is there, and the merits are also there, even if you take off your armor, people have to give you a little face when they meet you, don't you have to look at other people's faces from time to time to do things? ”

Xia Zitang thought about it, that was the same. Now the commander of the Terracotta Division, Lan Yu, has a gentle temperament and does things fairly, as long as he is on an errand, he naturally doesn't need to look at people's faces.

But when you encounter a selfish and misbehaving boss, some of your subordinates can't say what they are doing.

Shao Yi patted Xia Zitang's shoulder in an old-fashioned manner and said, "So, if you want more justice, you try to fight for a high enough position." Then you will be able to do what you want and get rid of those injustices. ”

Xia Zitang pulled Shao Yi's hand down, and said angrily: "Saying that you don't know death, you are really energetic." As ministers of the Son of Heaven, shouldn't we help Your Majesty and make the world more justice? ”

Shao Yi pouted, people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining, so Xia Zitang, who is upright and upright, will also talk about the scene now.
