Chapter 326: The Emperor Summons

Mama Hua entered the main hall, and first kowtowed to the Queen Mother to say goodbye.

"The old slave greets the Queen Mother."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

How long have you been in Anping County Palace? ”

"It's been a month since I went back to my mother."

"How are they learning the rules of that family?"

"The three hundred and twenty palace rules are already familiar to the family of four, and as for the etiquette, the princess of the county is slightly worse, but the master of Jiahe County has learned very well, almost no worse than the old slave."

Mama Hua is one of the two mammies in the Queen Mother's palace who specialize in teaching etiquette, and it has been a long time since she has heard the word "excellent".

But the Anping Junwang family is just a small role, and they are not worthy of the queen mother's attention at all, so after asking a few words, she asked Mama Hua to step down.

And the county king's mansion, as soon as Mama Hua left, the family hurriedly packed up their things and planned to go back to Jinjia Village, and it would be the autumn harvest soon, if they didn't go back to prepare, what would they do with the hundreds of acres of rice at home?

Now these are small things for the current brother and sister, but for the husband and wife, it is a big thing.

So the brother and sister let their father and mother worry about it, mainly because they were really bored to live in the capital during this time, and it was good to find something for them to do.

The family has been in Kyoto City for more than a month, and for such a long time, Zhou Bang only loves the vegetable patch in the courtyard, and the most that the Lian family usually makes is the underwear worn by a few people.

Lian also knows his own craftsmanship, but now his identity is different, and he really can't handle this craft, so the most he does for a few people now is underwear.

Other clothes for the four seasons are made by embroidery girls in the needlework room of the house.

It is said that two days after they entered the palace to thank them, the clothes that belonged to the regulations of the county king's mansion had been sent to the mansion, and each family of four had two sets of clothes, one was worn when entering the palace, and the other was worn when worshipping ancestors.

But by the next day, the family of four had not made it out after all.

Not long after dawn, the eunuchs in the palace had already arrived at the county king's mansion, saying that it was the emperor's will, and the county lord of Xuanjiahe entered the palace.

Both husband and wife were a little worried, and they didn't know what the emperor was going to do when he saw his daughter alone, but Zhou Yan had already heard his sister talk about the emperor's plans for their family, and he was not very worried.

As for me, Zhou Yu was even less worried, followed his father-in-law all the way into the palace, and when he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he knew that the emperor had not come back yet, so Zhou Yu could only wait outside the imperial study with the little father-in-law who announced the decree.

However, he didn't let Zhou Yu wait too long, and the kung fu emperor came back after more than a quarter of an hour.

Zhou Yu followed him into the imperial study, and waited for the emperor to sit down and saluted.

"Jiahe greets the emperor."

"Excuse me, sit down."

Hearing the emperor's words, the little eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly moved a chair to Zhou Yu's side.

"Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu didn't think too much, she sat down generously, and her legs were a little sore after walking all the way into the palace for so long, just to rest.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was not nervous, the emperor was also quite surprised, this family didn't seem to be afraid of him much.

Those old ministers in the court are not afraid of him by relying on the identity of the elders of the two dynasties, but they also have scruples, and they usually take into account the courtesies of the monarchs and ministers, and they are unwilling to sit like this.

And those who are afraid of him at the bottom will be sincerely afraid if they hear that he has given him a seat, but Zhou Yu is very casual.

After only a little thought, the emperor threw this idea away.

"I heard that when you taught Su Shen to read and write, you finished teaching the three-character scripture with a hundred family names and a thousand characters in just ten days?"

"Back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing."

"If you teach other people, are you sure that you can teach all three books in such a short time?"

Zhou Yu is very confident in this.

"Unless you don't want to learn, or you are born stupid, you should be able to teach."

As for what to use to evaluate the word stupid, Zhou Yu didn't say this, she is not a god, and not everyone can teach, but she can't say that to the emperor.

Although he had already guessed in his heart, when he heard Zhou Yu admit it himself, the emperor also had a bottom in his heart.

"You also know that in addition to the scholars, there is basically no one literate people in the Great Zhou, I want you to help me teach a group of people to come out, and then bring more people out, and so on, and then send them to various villages, teach the villagers in the village to read, what do you think of my idea?"

Zhou Yu was quite surprised, the emperor's idea is very avant-garde, isn't this a great literacy in modern times.

"The emperor has a high opinion, but if you let the courtiers teach, will the ministers in the court have any opinions?"

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the court, you just need to do the things I tell you to do well."

"The courtiers obey."

After seeing Zhou Yu, the emperor asked people to go back to the house, waiting for his notice for the past few days.

And when Zhou Yu left the palace, the six little chamberlains also went out of the palace together and went in several different directions.

Half an hour later, the six ministers of the cabinet gathered in the imperial study, and several people were thinking in their hearts, just after the early dynasty today, they had just returned to the house, and the chamberlain who passed the decree had already arrived at the house, what was the matter so anxious?

"A few Aiqing, I heard a strange thing here, I don't know how many of you are willing to hear it."

What could a few people say, they had to respond respectfully: "The ministers are listening." ”

"Not long ago, a strange person was found in the city, and it took less than 20 days to teach an illiterate man the three books of the three-character scripture of the hundred family names and the thousand-character text."

When the emperor's words fell, Elder Cao Ge, the head of the cabinet, stood up.

"Your Majesty, this must be nonsense, and the emperor should not take it seriously if he spreads false rumors."

The other five people thought the same as Cao Ge Lao, if this thing is true, then how can the world's scholars be embarrassed.

You must know that these three books are required to read for the enlightenment of the imperial examination, and most of the three books take students a year to complete, and some even longer, before they begin to learn the content of the four books.

"Oh! Several Aiqing also have the same idea as Cao Aiqing. ”

All five of them should be.

"I'll make a bet with the six Aiqing, if I ask someone to find that person, whoever he is, if he can teach these three books in twenty days, then I plan to let that person teach more people. So that the people of the church will be sent to the villages, and the people of the villages will be taught to read, and if then the adults will not be able to stop them, what if then? ”

Six, you look at me, I look at you, I didn't respond at the first time.

They all know that if what the emperor says is true, it will definitely set off a wave among the scholars, and if they support the emperor's decision, they will definitely be scolded by the world's scholars, which is tantamount to turning their backs on all the scholars in the world, but is there really such a person?

And they also know the emperor's temperament, if it is something that he is not sure of, he will not say so, several people who are over half a hundred years old have already passed the age of impulsiveness, and they will think carefully when they encounter things.
