Since it was his first time as a scholar and his first day on duty, Fan Zongyin was still very proud of himself despite the cold and rainy weather. He was determined to write some serious documents. However, he did not expect that his first job would be to write those inexplicable private notes to the ministers, so he was naturally discouraged.

At this time, hearing that the emperor wanted to write a letter to the ruler of Xixia, the newly appointed Yutang scholar was naturally surprised and happy. He didn't even care that his 'jade face' was wet by the rain. He went straight to the pavilion and bowed, saying sincerely: "Your Majesty, do you want to use a private letter to show off your military power? I don't know what format and how many words are needed? How do you address the ruler of Xia? I will write it to you in person immediately."

"No, it's not a letter, it's just a note. No need to address, just write a few words." Zhao Jiu sat upright in the pavilion, his hands in his pockets, and said seriously. "The note only said two things. First, before the battle of Yaoshan, Yuwen Xianggong sent an envoy to see him, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb. I was very unhappy..."

Fan Zongyin was speechless and helpless, but he endured it in the end and just nodded in response.

"Secondly, I heard that he admired Chinese studies and had written poems, so I went to read his 'Gingerbrush Song', but it was just a piece of lousy writing. You know, I didn't even dare to carve a stone tablet when I wrote 'Jade Case', but he actually carved his 'Gingerbrush Song' on stone, which is simply a disgrace to society... Ask him to destroy the stone carving immediately after receiving the note, otherwise I will publicly mock his literary level in the official newspaper, and let everyone in the world know that Li Ganshun is a monkey in human form."

“…”

"Do you understand?" Zhao Jiu, with his hands in his pockets, looked up and urged.

"Yes." Fan Zongyin had no choice but to nod again. "I will write it right away."

"Just write it like this, and I'll sign it when you're done..." Zhao Jiu thought about it, and finally added something else. "Give him another copy of the Historical Records, and tell him that I'm afraid he can't find the source of the monkey in the hat."

Fan Zongyin seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end he bowed and listened to the instructions.

PS: Oh my god, Zero Fox appeared in the ninth one, President An is the seventh cutest, and I’ll go move the train station to be the third cutest... I was wondering why it was still second on the historical sales list when it wasn’t updated yesterday.
