Chapter 67: Favored

Dim sum and snacks didn't have much attraction to Situ Se, but those books made Situ Se a little interested.

Situ Se picked up one of them and slowly opened it to look at it.

Looking at Situ Se's serious posture, Qi Yiting smiled shallowly, and his smile was a little proud.

He knew that Situ Se liked to read, but Situ Se didn't like the books that ordinary women liked.

Situ Se was different from the woman next to him.

The women next to me often read the female precepts and female virtues at first, and then read some picture books when they are idle and bored. If the family conditions are better, I will ask my husband to teach the Book of Poetry.

Compared with these, Situ Se prefers to read history books or some minutes.

Now, what Situ Se is holding in his hand is a copy of the Dayu Quartet.

This was compiled during the reign of the first emperor, and it will be updated every five years, and the records are all important events in Dayu, in order to let the people know and inspire more talented people to do things for the imperial court.

There are two versions of the Dayu Sifang Chronicles, one is watched by the common people and ordinary officials, and the other version is watched by the emperor and his confidants, the latter sees more ugly things that should not be known to the people, but it is more worthy of warning.

It was the latter in Situ Se's hands.

"How do I think it's not quite the same as what I've seen before." Situ had apparently discovered something special about the book in his hand.

"The most important purpose of the first emperor in compiling this book is to let the emperor and important ministers take warning of past mistakes, but some mistakes, it is good to know them, and there is no need to let the people know, naturally, there are two versions of the Quartet." Qi Yiting explained.

"Hmm." Situ Se nodded, didn't say more, but continued to watch, and Qi Yiting didn't bother.

"Do you see anything?" About a quarter of an hour later, Qi Yiting asked Situ Se with a smile.

"His Majesty the Emperor really loves King Xu." Situ said.

King Xu, Qi Chengxu, the emperor's sixth prince, is not very old, only a few years older than Qi Yiting.

Qi Yiting glanced at what Situ Se was looking at and knew why Situ Se said this.

"The emperor loves King Xu, this is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see." Situ Se said with a hint of mockery between the corners of his mouth.

The emperor really loves Qi Chengxu, which is different from the kind of murderous love for him.

The emperor sent a lot of errands to Qi Chengxu, each of which was not an easy task, and he tried a few times but failed, after failure, the emperor punished him severely, and then let Qi Chengxu continue to complete it.

After completion, there is not necessarily much reward.

Some people think that the emperor doesn't like Qi Chengxu's performance, but smart people can see that the emperor is clearly beating Qi Chengxu.

What Situ Se saw was exactly four years ago, when the Huai River flooded, the emperor punished Qi Chengxu for treatment.

At first, Qi Chengxu was not able to deal with it well, but accidentally caused a small riot, and the emperor beat Qi Chengxu hard, and then threw him back to Huaishui to continue to govern.

With the secret help of the emperor's people, Qi Chengxu solved the problem well in the end, and was praised by the government and the opposition, although when the emperor rewarded everyone for controlling the water, Qi Chengxu was recuperating in bed.

However, no one praised the emperor for his fairness afterwards, and no one praised Qi Chengxu's outstanding ability.
