Early in the morning, the students of Luxi Academy gathered around the small square, waiting to receive their newly issued uniforms.

"Wow, Su embroidery! Why did the academy suddenly send us such good clothes? A student looked at the new uniform in his hand, both in terms of workmanship and fabric, which was obviously much better than before, and was a little confused for a while.

Another student mysteriously leaned over: "Haven't you heard? His Majesty the Emperor is on a southern tour, and he wants to come to our Luxi Academy to have a look! ”

"Really?" Another person looked suspicious, "The newspaper said that His Majesty was going to patrol the Yellow River, but didn't say that he was going to go down to the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

"Is this still fake? This dress is specially customized with the money allocated by the Hangzhou government, just so that we can dress decently and take over the face saint. Otherwise, where do you think the academy got the money to make Suzhou embroidered clothes for students? ”

"It's no wonder that many craftsmen have come to repair the academy these days, it turns out that it is to take over. Why didn't you hear the wind before? ”

"Nonsense! Can Your Majesty's itinerary be revealed at will? It's great that we, ordinary students, can receive the news now! ”

At this time, the steward who issued the hospital uniform in front of him reprimanded: "What are the students in the back talking about? Get your clothes and leave quickly, don't block in the way of others! ”

Several people were immediately silenced, no longer discussed, and dispersed.

In the evening, Gu Yunji came to hand in Xu Chengyu's homework as usual, and remembered the rumors he heard today, so he asked, "Teacher, I heard that Your Majesty is coming to our academy, is it true?" ”

Xu Chengyu said lightly: "Where did you hear that?" ”

"Everyone is talking about it, I'm afraid it will spread throughout the academy at this time."

"News is pretty fast." Xu Chengyu took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "It's true." ”

His tone was calm, Gu Yunji was not calm at all, and kept asking, "Are you really coming?" Why haven't you heard any news before? Didn't you say that you only patrol the river? Why did you suddenly go down to the south of the Yangtze River and come to Luxi Academy? ”

Xu Chengyu sighed lightly and said, "Come on, why are you so excited?" ”

"Teacher, that's the emperor! Ninety-Five! Our monarch of the Great Xia Dynasty! "The emperor who I used to only see in TV series and novels is really coming to my side now, and Gu Yunji is very likely to see him with his own eyes, how can he not be excited?

Xu Chengyu's face was full of disapproval: "So what, it's not like I haven't seen it." ”

Regardless of Gu Yunji's expression as if he was choked, he continued to take care of himself: "As for why Your Majesty came to Luxi Academy, it is because he saw your article on river governance and wanted to come to meet you. ”

"Your Majesty...... Want to see me? Gu Yunji was smashed to the top by this sentence, "My Majesty, how could Your Majesty see my article?" ”

"Because I brought it to me."

"How did I not know!"

Xu Chengyu raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, and then said, "I didn't expect you to get His Majesty's favor." When I saw that you were reasonable, I sent the article to Lord Pan Shiliang, who governed the river, and Lord Pan presented it to His Majesty, so your article was seen. ”

"You can be remembered by Your Majesty at a young age, you kid can steal the fun!"

Gu Yunji was suddenly a little at a loss: "Do I need to prepare anything to meet the Holy Lord?" What shall I say then? What if you say the wrong thing? ”

Xu Chengyu said: "Relax, when the time comes, you can think of anything to answer, just do what you like." Your Majesty is young, but very smart, and if you recite some clichés to answer early, it will annoy him. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunji had no choice but to rest his thoughts on preparation, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "But the Di newspaper only wrote that His Majesty wants to patrol the river, is it a temporary intention to go down to the south of the Yangtze River?" But if the itinerary is suddenly increased, it is difficult to prepare food and accommodation, and the lords of the court also agreed? ”

"Of course I don't agree, it's a lot of noise! I heard that several imperial historians jumped on the spot, some said that it cost people's labor, and some said that it was too late to prepare for the halfway increase the trip, and they took turns to block it. His Majesty was so angry that he asked people to pull those imperial historians out and beat the board, saying that he would go south for everything, and if he really didn't agree, he would pay a private visit. ”

"How can these ministers? I had no choice but to take a step back, cut the cost, cut the guard of honor, and let a small number of retinues and ministers follow His Majesty south. ”

Gu Yunji said: "Your Majesty, this is a decision, and no one can change it. The reason why I didn't say it in advance should be because I was afraid that the ministers would not agree, and I wouldn't even be able to get out of the palace gate at that time, right? It was only halfway before announcing that they were going south, and the ministers couldn't stop it, which was really bold. ”

Xu Chengyu shook his head and sighed, "I'm still young—"

Before class the next day, the students were still gathered around to discuss the matter, and when they saw Mr. Chen He walking in, someone boldly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Chen, I heard that Your Majesty is coming to our academy, is it true?" ”

Chen He glanced at him, didn't make a detour, and said directly: "Yes, if nothing else, it will be around mid-April." ”

The hall suddenly boiled, and the man asked in surprise, "Can we take over the car then?" ”

"It should be like this, at least when His Majesty first arrives, the mountain chief will lead everyone from the academy to greet him at the mountain gate."

A student's eyes lit up: "If I have the opportunity to meet the saint, can I also recommend myself and present the articles I wrote to Your Majesty, if you can win Your Majesty's favor because of this, I still have to think hard about what the imperial examination is for......

Hearing this, Chen He's expression was grim, he slammed the book on the table, and said angrily: "Confused! Are you so close to His Majesty the Emperor? If you don't study hard, you have to dig out your mind to go through these side ways! I'm afraid that before you even walked in front of Your Majesty, you were poked through by the spears of the imperial guards! ”

"Take 10,000 steps back, you really presented the article to Your Majesty, so what? Could it be that Your Majesty will simply appoint you to an official because of your article? During the reign of the first emperor, a tried and tested man took the risk and handed the article to the first emperor, fantasizing that he would be appreciated by the Son of Heaven. As a result, the first emperor reprimanded him for his improper thinking, dismissed his reputation on the spot, and was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life! ”

"His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and he can't figure out his temper. If you want to be punished by Your Majesty, you can try! I'm afraid that you won't be able to recommend yourself, and it will also affect the college to eat and hang! ”

The students were so frightened by his words that they lowered their heads and did not dare to come out. The student who said he wanted to recommend himself before trembled even more, and he didn't dare to mention it again.

Chen He looked around with a pair of angry eyes and warned: "I advise you to put away your crooked thoughts. His Majesty's visit to the academy seems to be a good thing, but in fact it is very dangerous. One mistake is that the entire academy will be punished, I don't want us to be praised by Your Majesty this time, as long as we can send Your Majesty away smoothly in the end, we are already thankful. ”

After that, Chen He didn't say anything more and began to teach the students.

After that, the enthusiasm of the academy for the emperor's coming slowly faded, and life returned to the right track.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is April, and the day when the emperor arrives is not far away.
