"What's it called?! It's not like I want you two to take the money and use it, damn, go quickly! Believe it or not, if you can't get together these materials for half an hour or something, hmph, my father-in-law is there, and I can be a teacher...... Hey, hey, hey. ”

In my sneer, the two little princes rushed out of the palace gate in a hurry, and angrily ordered their respective subordinates to go to Ouchi first and get gold, silver, lead and other items, which were naturally borrowed.

Well, the speed is relatively fast, and in less than a pillar of incense, the inner government hurriedly sent the things over, and the prince's teacher wanted to use them as teaching and research materials. Well, more than a pound of gold, more than a pound of silver, and a pile of white lead, I can see that my son's eyes are dazzled, and he has a voice, and Li Zhi and Li Shen's expressions are not good, and they are very lamented that yellow and white things are so attractive.

It took a long time to struggle out of the temptation of gold and silver treasures, took the balance that had been placed on the table, and weighed out a pound of gold with a weight, more, well, simple, there are many treasure knives in the palace that sharpen iron like clay, two knives down, like cutting fruit, and then, and then weigh out a pound of lead and silver, by the way, Li Zhi Li Shen explained the use of this balance, Li Zhi Li Shen is very interested in this scale, and the manual class is unheard of for them. The delicate weights amazed the two little princes, and I naturally had to explain to them the principle of this balance and its purpose.

Not to mention the two princes, even if it was those maids, the guards at the door poked their heads over, very curious, and then found the size of the porcelain bowl filled with clear water, first, took a bowl, weighed the weight, and then, poured water, every tael, took a brush to draw a red line, and then well, looked at the treasure knife in his hand, it seemed that the damage to the porcelain was too great, and he hooked his finger at Li Zhi.

"What are you doing?" Li Zhi poked his head over.

"Gems, well, do you have that red, green, and green thing? Give me. ”

Li Zhi shook his head: "The little brother never wears those things, they are all women's household gadgets." ”

"Huh?!" These words reminded me, and I raised my head, and sure enough, the steps on the heads of those palace maids were inlaid with fine jade and precious diamonds.

Under the gaze of the righteous eyes of the two princes, a palace maid reluctantly took off the step shake and respectfully handed it to me, "Hehehe, little sister, don't worry, I'll return you when I'm done with it, if it's broken, I'll pay you back, I'll definitely pay you, isn't it?!" Twisting their faces, the two little princes quickly nodded, agreeing and trusting the teacher's words.

Forcefully grasped the head of the step and swiped hard, and after a piercing sound, a shallow mark appeared in the position of one or two, and the ink penetrated in, forming a light red line. Add one or two more water, add a stroke, the valuable large porcelain bowl, a total of fifteen red marks are depicted, and then, I first poured out the water, re-injected a pound of position, and then threw the gold weighing for a pound into a pound of gold, only let the water surface rise more than a little more, Li Shen and Li Zhi were curious and smashed their mouths, according to my instructions to copy the results, and then in turn the same way, put in silver, and lead, and soon, they came up with their respective numbers.

Then, explain in detail to these two Wang Ye students, who can only describe their admiration in terms of five-body casting places, what is the specific gravity, but the weight of substances with different volumes will be the same, at least, in the age when there is no means to let them understand what is called molecule, atom, and atomic nucleus. It is of great academic value to use specific gravity to teach them to distinguish between various substances. At least when the two of them are bored, they can check the purity of the pure gold or silver jewelry in the palace.

"That's right, that's all for today, this period of time, in general, you are still working hard, but, starting tomorrow, first of all, the teacher will give you a summary of the past semester, and after a while, the final exam, so that I can examine what you learned last year, and from this year, I will add some courses to you. Well? What are you two excited about, I can say that the number of courses has increased, not decreased. ”

"Yes, the more, the better, your class is much more interesting than the old master's class. It's not that you only know how to train people all day long, even if you scold us every day, you still feel that you teach a lot more than you learned from the old master. Li Zhi was telling the truth, at least when he was speaking, Li Shen also agreed.

Three days later, I finally appeared in front of these two students after sorting out the exam questions, and started the final exam, and it took me two days to take the whole course, Uncle Li was very curious about this final exam, and specially took an afternoon to accompany the exam.

--------------------------------------------------------- "Today's exam is an essay, well, you all know what an essay is, right?" What questions do you have about this? I took Uncle Li as air and asked the two young classmates who were sitting obediently on the couch.

Due to the appearance of Uncle Li, the atmosphere of today's exam seems a little serious, a bit like the school leader who came to the class to invigilate the exam.

"Nope!" Li Zhi: They answered very neatly.

Uncle Li sat on the couch, stroking his beard and smiling, for my education model, Uncle Li never expressed a different opinion, too, Uncle Li can't catch up with our education level, not even a primary school diploma, at most belongs to the self-taught wild road, this son has won kindergarten awards, primary school graduation certificate, junior high school graduation certificate, high school graduation certificate, violin secondary certificate, third-rate university graduation certificate and countless other certificates that prove that my son is knowledgeable. The only regret is that Datang does not determine positions based on academic qualifications, otherwise, I am afraid, well, I dare not say that I am thinking about it, lest Uncle Li still think that I am going to usurp the throne of his Li family.

"Father's back?" Uncle Lee repeated my words to the two little boys.

"Well, "Father's Back", that is, with the title of the back of the father of Er, write an essay and limit it to one hour!" I nodded my head seriously and repeated the essay title again.

"Virtuous son-in-law, why do you want to use the old man's back as the topic, why don't you use ......" Uncle Li didn't know how to describe his handsome and scummy image, so he just gestured in front of him and asked me quietly.

"This ......" I was a little speechless, who made Zhu Ziqing's "Father's Back" so famous, I just imitated his title, now it's good, Uncle Li is very unwilling that his handsome face was not written by his son.

"Actually, this mainly involves a theme, yes, the theme of association, from the back of your father-in-law, even thinking of your teaching to your children as a strict father, so that they can taste all the ...... that their father has made for them", by the way, based on Lao She's "Back", he described to Uncle Li the process of a child's confusion about his father's affection gradually becoming aware and grateful.

Uncle Li was very silent when he heard this, his expression was slightly gloomy, a person with a big family and a big business, he had a scripture that was difficult to read, and Uncle Li was freed from the meaning of "Back" for a long time.

decided to wait here for his son to finish the exam, and wanted to see with his own eyes what it was like to fall in the eyes of his son.

"Son-in-law, how about you and I talk about a game?" Uncle Li invited me to play Go? "My little nephew doesn't know anything about hand talk, so why don't we play backgammon? It's simple, and it can develop intellectual ......" vigorously publicizes what we are best at, mainly because I understand the rules of Go, but the problem is that we can't even play the sixth grade of primary school, not to mention a national player like Uncle Li who likes to talk with hands, playing with him is tantamount to letting Uncle Li abuse us.

Backgammon, although it is easy to learn, but it also has strict requirements for intelligence, at least, Uncle Li was killed by me for twenty games in a row, his eyes were green when he lost, and the tip of his nose was sweaty, very embarrassed, and he blamed the stove for being hot, and my stomach hurt when I laughed, so I had to quietly release the water and let Uncle Li win a few handfuls, and now he was psychologically balanced.

Finally, the time of an hour came, first of all, Li Shen handed in his homework, well, according to what I said, in the vernacular, in a white description of his father's position in his mind, both serious and kind father, although there is a suspicion of sycophancy, but at least it seems reasonable. After reading it, he nodded: "Well, the description technique is flat and straightforward, and it can be regarded as grasping the topic, and the central idea is also there, well, I can give you a good one." ”

We don't care about grades, at least, I'm very disgusted by the scores on my workbook and transcript. In my mindset, I think the 100-point education system is a typical failure, at least after I went to junior high school, I didn't get a perfect score in any subject, so I thought it was a failure. If I were to be graded as excellent, good, pass, or fail, at least I would be able to achieve 80 percent of the best, so I prefer to grade my students' grades in this way.

Uncle Li on the side of the --------------------------------------------------------- coughed vigorously as if he had a lung chatter, and he respectfully handed it to Uncle Li. "I hope my father-in-law will give you a good evaluation."

"Hehehe, since that's the case, the old man is welcome," Uncle Li took it and spread out the homework book, Li Shen's beautiful fine pen and regular calligraphy made Uncle Li very satisfied, stroked his long beard, and shook his head to look at his child's composition. "On that day, my father took our family to the northern suburbs of Chang'an to hunt ......," Uncle Li said as if he was reciting. Very brightly reading his son's slightly immature writing.

"Jun'er, why do you like to tell it in the vernacular?" Uncle Li frowned, raised his eyes and asked me.

"Classical Chinese, the little nephew always feels that the classical Chinese is too profound and difficult to understand, and it is not easy to break sentences, in a word, it is easy for people to disagree, and my father-in-law can know why there are so many schools in the classics of the ancients, it is because of their different interpretations and sentences, resulting in the inability to unify, and sometimes even misunderstanding the meaning of the predecessors......"

"Well, the concerns of the virtuous nephew are also reasonable, thinking that Confucianism, there were countless schools in the previous dynasty, and in my dynasty, although Kong Qing re-ordered a lot, but who knows whether his explanation is in line with the original intention of the sages?!" Uncle Li doesn't seem to object to my education method, so it's good, I was very curious about the handicraft class a few days ago, that is, the physics class in which I used water to measure the proportion of various objects, so I naturally answered them one by one, after all, a lot of time, with Uncle Li's approval, you can achieve considerable benefits, at least, the wise and courageous Uncle Li has a strong ability to accept new things, which is very beneficial to the spread of these things in Datang.

Li Zhi's essay was also handed in, and after Uncle Li finished commenting, he could hear a noise in the door.

Uncle Li frowned slightly: "What's the noise outside?!" ”

"Your Majesty! Concert House Emergency Military Report! The janissary outside the door quickly replied.

These words made Uncle Li and I jump up in unison, and they were surprised in unison, "What?!" ”

"Let him in!" Uncle Li walked quickly towards the gate of the palace, and within two steps, Li Xiaode, who had not melted into the snow on his body, bumped into the general with an excited face: "Your Majesty, Lord Fang, great joy, great joy!" His hands presented the thin silk that seemed to be stained, along with the translated proof.

Uncle Li copied it into his hand and looked at it carefully, it turned out that Su Dingfang was safe and sound, at the beginning, after the 10,000 fine horsemen who made that person ride double riders went through a lot of hardships, they crossed the desert from Juyanhai, traveled along the south of Junji Mountain, to Lishui, and went up along the Lishui to the bank of the Egen River where the tribes of Tiele gathered, along the way, it was like entering a no-man's land, anyway, it was like killing people, and they were about to catch up with the bad things that Mongolia did in the Central Plains. The team is getting faster and faster, at most, even one person with three horsemen or five horsemen, it is completely food to the enemy, as for not being accustomed to all meat, simple, each soldier carries a tea brick pressed as tightly as steel, smashing a little, enough to solve the day's vitamin needs, and can also remove the greasy food.

Because of the winter and moved from north to south to the bank of the Egen River, Xue Yantuo Khan Zhenzhu Yinan was only less than a day away from Su Dingfang's army, only when he knew the news that the Tang Dynasty rode over 10,000 spirits on the grassland to burn and loot, he was very frightened, and after the news of the retreat of the West Road army, Zhenzhu Yinan led nearly 100,000 troops to flee to the northwest, Su Dingfang chased for several days, beheaded more than 1,000 people, because of the cold wind and snow, had to stop at the foot of Utre Mountain, fortunately by the cover of the mountain range, escaped to a snowstorm, so changed the route of the march, Turning back again, breaking Tongluo on the bank of the Suoling River, along the north bank of the Dule River, with 5,000 fine cavalry, facing nearly 30,000 cavalry of the servant bones head-on, and bypassing the main force of the servant bones with 3,000 fine cavalry, and marching all night, in the early morning of the second day, breaking the tent of the servant bone king at the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, the servant nobles of the same Tiele tribe from the Khan, nearly 1,000 captured nobles, helpless, nearly 200,000 servants of the tribe all surrendered, and the rest were scattered. These 200,000 people followed the Tang army that captured the head of their tribe, along the Gonglu River to Qiaoba Mountain, and wanted to go south to Yingzhou, where they could get cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock, and Zhang Jian, the governor of Yingzhou, had already sent a large army to meet them, and the vanguard of 20,000 iron cavalry had already joined Su Dingfang's troops, and when they went to 10,000 elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, at this time, there were only more than 6,000 left, of which half were frostbitten...... --------------------------------------------------------- "Are these messages true?!" "I saw on the side that my eyes were red and my hair was straight, the Buddha who sold cakes, who are these people, it's too good, Su Dingfang Su is a famous general, and he adopted the strategy of the Mongolian cavalry that year, and he rode a few horses, just over two months, and crossed the desert, from the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, all the way to the northeast, it was too hanging, I couldn't believe it, and quickly asked Li Xiaode again.

"That's true, I don't need to think about it, the military's good news should also arrive." Li Xiaode nodded his head very affirmatively, but too, no one dared to joke about it.

"This battle, Su Aiqing, what a Su Aiqing! Hahahaha...... "Uncle Li's face was so red that he was shining, his eyes were even more dazzling than the sun in the sky, and he babbled for a long time before he came to his senses.

Yes, I was so happy that I almost cracked the back of my head, nonsense, I have to thank the lovely prince brother, if he hadn't insisted on putting my advice to Uncle Li public, I'm afraid we would be embarrassed to take advantage of this credit.

Syllable! Uncle Li was so energetic that he looked at me with his eyes glazed. "Good Aiqing, if it weren't for Li Jing, Li Ji, and Su Dingfang, the three Aiqing, who supported this policy, I'm afraid it is, hehehe...... I want to ...... this battle Well, when Su Aiqing returns triumphantly, it will be the time for his son-in-law to become an official. "Uncle Li's words made my heart burn, but I still didn't forget my duty and patted my ass.

"What merit does the little nephew have, it's just a flash of inspiration, but the father-in-law knows how to use people and makes good use of them, and the dispatch is good, if it is not for the father-in-law, in the world, who can know that General Su is also a peerless horse with Han Zhihuo and Wei......"

The waves are endless, Uncle Li is very pleased to help me up, very modest expression of his inner excitement, I hope that everyone will continue to work hard for the empire Li family, Li Xiaode also joined the touter's industry, soon, Uncle Li simply announced, in the Hanyuan Hall and then set up a banquet, in order to congratulate this great victory, no one expected that the 10,000 elites of the famous general Su were far beyond everyone's imagination, yes, the expression of the prince brother who forced a smile when he drank wine made me very happy, So today I was very happy to toast the prince brother a few times, which can be regarded as a thank you for the great kindness of the prince a few days ago. Wha...... This angry thing can't wait to jump up and pinch me.

These days are very strange, my mother always has no appetite for eating, she looks like a sick seedling, and the diet at home has become lighter.

I asked my mother, I didn't answer my words, but I was hit by my mother's finger, and the old man's eye dart, and the eldest brother quietly asked the sister-in-law with a strange face, only to understand, it seems that the mother has it again, after hearing the news, my two brothers who are happy almost blossomed, yes, these days, population is wealth, which family doesn't want their own brothers and sisters more? There are a few people in the family who are promising.

"No wonder my mother and the old man have behaved very strangely these days......" I gossiped and touched my chin.

The eldest brother pinched his fingers very calculatingly: "Well, I don't know if we are multiple sisters or younger brothers, I said second brother, do you think it is better for us to be multiple younger brothers or sisters?" ”

"Brother also, the third uncle has become a little overlord now, yesterday he slipped into our yard, saying that he was going to catch rabbits, making the yard unquiet, if it weren't for the mother coming quickly, we Tai'er was afraid that he would be able to cry for a night...... "The sister-in-law nagged with a headache.

Hearing the news, my eldest brother and I were speechless, who let the little kid be the youngest one, the mother and the old man were reluctant to beat, reluctant to scold.

"Wait, boy, I'll pick him up in a moment." I patted my chest and packed the ticket to my sister-in-law, why, the eldest brother is a Sven, but the problem is to reason with a little bastard like the third child. We have to have the most effective method, if you don't listen, you will be beaten, this little guy is not hiding like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees me, or pretending to be innocent and cute in front of me, boy, wait for the ass to suffer.

I laughed and rubbed my hands, the joints of my hands crackled, and my sister-in-law shivered.

"Oh, second brother, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, besides, the third brother is also your younger brother, and the sage has clouds......" The eldest brother hung the bookbag with me again, and I was dizzy when I heard it, and the sister-in-law also reluctantly rolled her eyes by teasing the eldest nephew.

"The eldest young master, the second young master, the master asked the two of you to go to the study." At this time, the family found the eldest brother's courtyard and whispered outside the house.

"Oh, I know, let's go, big brother, you can do it, don't talk about it, change your clothes and go to see the old man first, otherwise, the old man will come to us in a while."

I admire my eldest brother very much, and now his crooked skills are almost half of my father's.

When I arrived at the study, sure enough, the old man was already waiting inside, "The child has seen his father." He greeted the old man respectfully.

"Well, come here and sit down, it's cold, pour yourself tea and drink to warm up."

In the old man's study, sipping the tea fried in the ginger slices, roasting the warm fire, his body became much warmer. The bed in the study has been changed to a concave type, mainly to facilitate the placement of the coal stove in winter, and the old man can also read and write on it.

The old man first talked to our brothers, and talked about the major events in the first month, and it turned out that the "Chronicles of the Universe" written by Li Taizhao, the king of Wei, was written in this first month, which is a geography book of the Tang Dynasty, with a total of 550 volumes, and another five volumes. The title is written by Wei Wangtai, but it was actually written by Xiao Deyan and others.

"Wei Wangtai dedicated a book to His Majesty, His Majesty was very pleased, appreciated, and the prince was very resentful, thinking that the emperor's heart had changed, and he wanted to abolish the prince, and his behavior was even more perverse...... "After returning home, this is the first time to sit in a group with his eldest brother and father to discuss major affairs in the court, and the old man's expression is very solemn: "The old man looks at it, but His Majesty has already moved his mind, but the resistance in the court is very huge, so he pressed the idea, just hoping that the prince can make more progress." But the old man looked at it, the prince's position, hehehe...... "The old man shook his head and smiled faintly, my eldest brother and I were both in the old man's smile, and my heart was full of it, worthy of being an old man, thinking about it, if the old man was not completely sure, he would not talk about such a thing with my eldest brother."

My eldest brother and I met in private, and we both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, what did the old man mean by talking to our brothers?

The old man talked eloquently, counting the hardships he had suffered in assisting Uncle Li and the Li family for so many years, and at the end, he sighed with emotion and said: "Jie'er, Jun'er, do you know why the husband called you two here to talk in detail?" ”

I glanced at my eldest brother and shook my head in confusion.

The old man smiled, stroked his long gray beard and said: "The old man has been in charge of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he does not dare to slack off at all. Stay diligent all night, try your best to be thrifty, and don't want to lose anything. Don't look at people with their own strengths, don't ask for preparation, although they are humble and lowly, they have to do their best, my Tang Dynasty is like a prosperous age in the sky, and I have a small contribution to my father......" The old man said modestly, and we can see the arrogance on the old man's face.

"It's been more than ten years, the old man has been a prime minister for more than ten years, and now, the grandson also has it, the festival is gentle and modest, the handsome man is very ambitious, the old man is very relieved, Hong'er married His Majesty's brother as his wife, what regrets does the old man have? Hehehe......" The old man took a sip of tea, rubbed his hands in front of the stove and said with a smile.

"Father, do you want to quit?" The eldest brother asked the old man with a solemn face. I also widened my eyes and looked at my father, who smiled and nodded his head after listening to my eldest brother's words.

"Father, do you really want to quit and retire?!" My voice suddenly rose a little higher.

The old man glared at me: "What is the name of the son, what kind of system is it, why can't I say goodbye to my father?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that the child thinks it......" The more he said, the lower his voice became, isn't it, the old man is going to resign, the pillar of the Fang family is a dear father, if he really says goodbye to the phase, there is no economic loss, but I don't know that the father who leaves the court can really spend his old age in peace? The eldest grandson Yin has long wanted to pull the old man down, but the old man has won the heart of the emperor, and he has practiced everything, and the reputation of the first assistant for more than ten years can be described as unmatched, because of this, the old man can be like a tumbler, sit firmly in the first assistant, and have been in charge of hundreds of officials, three provinces and six departments for more than ten years.

"It's been more than ten years, how many people are staring at the old man's phase, trying to find the old man's fork, pulling the old man's handle, tired......" The old man squinted, and raised his still bottomless eyes with emotion, and glanced at me and my eldest brother, and a trace of comfort appeared on the old man's cheeks: "Your mother is pregnant now, and her father is usually busy with official business, so it is difficult to have time to accompany your mother, and now she is also an elderly person. ”

Seeing my father's slightly unwilling face, I knew that my father didn't really want to leave the court like this, but after more than ten years in the position of first assistant, I don't know how many people I have offended openly and secretly. Since you are willing to stay away from the land of right and wrong when the emperor is very important now, it is better to be a peaceful and stable man.

"The child thinks that it doesn't hurt that the father is bent on going to work, after all, the child and the second brother have already started a family at home, and it is not a beautiful thing for you to feel at ease at home and tease your grandson." The eldest brother spoke. I also caused my father's actions.

Early the next morning, the old man changed into a brand-new official robe, and I, because I was going to assign winter vacation homework to the two little princes, went to the palace with the old man, and went to see Uncle Li, the head of imperialism, hoping that he would agree to my father's request to let the old man take a back seat, leave his job in peace, and hold the fourth or second sister who will be born in a few months at home.

(To be continued)
