Chapter 340: Good, so straightforward
The third prince carried Yuan Ruan and walked towards the emperor.
Yuan Ruan thought that fortune-telling also required an atmosphere, so she quietly made a heart shape with her fingers.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion in the sky.
Everyone was shocked.
The emperor solemnly pulled the third prince into the house. Other court officials who wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation also rushed in hurriedly. All of them had serious expressions and were even a little panicked.
Yuan Ruan was stunned by the court officials' extreme reaction.
Yuan Ruan: [When I used to make a heart shape to indicate thunder, everyone was very calm and stood very straight. I thought the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty were not afraid of thunder. I didn't expect that everyone would be so panicked today.]
The corners of Manchu civil and military officials' mouths twitched.
I was afraid before, too, after all, every year there would be news of “people walking on the road being struck by lightning”, so I knew that you, the national teacher, were not afraid because you were making a heart shape and releasing electricity… etc…
The court officials all looked at Yuan Ruan's hand at the same time, and saw that he had his left hand tucked into his chest, making a heart shape with his hands.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: ...
System: [They used to be afraid of thunder! When Qin Tianjian was in charge of presiding over the sacrifice for the first time, he was frightened to death by thunder and lightning.]
Qintian Prison Supervisor: …
His face gradually turned red, especially when he noticed that several colleagues were looking at his pants. Supervisor Qin Tian was glaring at him, raising his fist implicitly, with an aura that said, "If you look at me again, I will hit you."
System: [There is also a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, or the Minister of Rites. Oh, it doesn’t matter. When he was a child, he witnessed someone being struck to death by lightning, so he is very afraid of lightning. He can’t sleep well during every thunderstorm. Someone must accompany him, and he must sing songs to lull him to sleep before he can fall asleep.]
The Minister of Rites and the Vice Minister of Rites: !!!
The doctor from the Ministry of Rites did not expect that his secret would be revealed suddenly. He felt embarrassed but grateful at the same time: Thank you system for not naming me directly and dragging another person into it. Since another person has been dragged into it, I will definitely take the blame.
Thinking of this, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites suddenly turned his head to look at the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, pretending to be shocked and whispered: "You actually..."
Because the Minister of Rites was the first to react, and his expression of shock and astonishment was acted out so well that people nearby were secretly glancing at the Vice Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not me... It's not me..."
But he had no way to explain this private matter. The Minister of Rites could only shout in his heart: System, please tell me who it is! Who is it? This is really important!
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. I saw everyone was very calm before, but I didn't expect that in private... maybe there are tens of thousands of Daxia people here, and with so many people, the people who were originally afraid are not afraid anymore.]
System: [There is another possibility. With more people around, the courtiers who were originally worried may think that the probability of being struck by lightning has become infinitely smaller, so they are no longer afraid.]
Crowd: …
Yuanruan: [……]
Seeing that Yuanruan was silent, the system said weakly: [Aruan, is my analysis wrong? ]
Yuanruan said sincerely: [This is the highest level of understanding, which is something most people would not be able to think of. Okay, I'm going to do my work now.]
The system was immediately delighted: [Alright. Come on, Ah Ruan! Go, go, go!]
Yuanruan hummed, then took out the little turtle shell from his arms.
She pretended to draw a few circles on the back of the turtle shell, and then said to the emperor: "Father, when the thunder struck just now, I was very uneasy. I read the fortune and it turned out that General Li would get lost in this battle."
Yuan Ruan said a lot in one breath, took a deep breath, and then continued after a while: "But as long as General Li rides on a horse and covers his eyes for half an hour, he will get an object that can distinguish directions."
Crowd: !!!
Frog fun, so straightforward!
It was so straightforward that they were all stunned.
What stupefied them was how to believe the young imperial teacher's overly rude and outrageous words without appearing to be stupid and blind.
System: [Wow! Ah Ruan, you are so direct. You don’t even bother to give a reason.]
Yuan Ruan: [In fact, I found many reasons at first, for example, General Li was hit by an eye curse, and the solution is to wear a mask while riding a horse every day, or tie it for half an hour, face the sun directly, and be unable to see anything, and you have to do this for seven days... But later I thought about it and felt that it was a bit roundabout and unnecessary.]
Manchu civil and military officials: !!!
Little Imperial Master, your previous idea was very good!
It's so mysterious and very suitable! How can it be unnecessary?
The system also asked the same question: [Ah Ruan, I think your idea is also very good. It has a mysterious and ambiguous feeling, which is more in line with your image as a national teacher. ]
Yuanruan was very straightforward: [But it doesn’t matter. No matter what I say, they will always listen.]
Crowd: !!!
That's right, it is true.
Yuan Ruan continued: [Instead of speaking in a roundabout way and letting them guess what I mean, it is better to tell them directly what I want to do. Isn't communication more effective this way?]
System: [Aruan, you are awesome! So smart! If they still don’t understand this… well, the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty shouldn’t be that stupid. ]
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: ...
We are not stupid! But if we just follow your words, it really makes us look blindly obedient and stupid!
At this time, the Third Prince lowered his head and said, "Ninth sister, if we let General Li ride on his horse and cover his eyes for half an hour, will we get an object that can tell the direction? What object will we get?"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned: ???
Third Prince, why are you suddenly asking questions in return?
Yuan Ruan thought for a moment, and then pretended to stroke the turtle shell. After a pause, he said, "It's not clear in the hexagram, but Zuoyou and Sinan are inseparable."
The Third Prince asked again: "Ninth sister, can you only choose General Li?"
Yuan Ruan thought about it and said hesitantly: "It's best to choose him. After all, he is the most stubborn and easy to get lost."
The third prince nodded repeatedly: "Little Imperial Master, if we don't choose General Li, we have to summon General Li back, right?" "If we summon General Li back, who would be the better replacement?"...
The third prince's mouth was like a machine gun, and he asked a lot of hypothetical questions in a row.
The eyes of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty gradually became delighted: !!!
The Third Prince is great! He asked questions in return, and no longer seemed blindly obedient and brainless, which made it easier to follow up!
The emperor also cast his gaze on the third prince. After looking at him for a while, he turned his head to look at the crown prince and found that his eldest son was looking at the third prince with a face full of satisfaction.
At this moment, the emperor's eyes met with the crown prince's. The emperor clearly saw the crown prince pointing his thumb at the third prince, as if to say, "The third prince is more awesome, I am ashamed to be inferior to him."
The emperor chuckled inwardly, without giving the prince any hint, and calmly looked away.
