Chapter 155: The Elegant Scholars and the Long Songs · 1
"...The will of the crown prince to ascend the throne, asks you to guide the crown prince in learning and cultivating virtue, employ the virtuous and capable, preserve the imperial cause, and never let him be idle and idle."
Xiao Hao's consciousness slowly emerged. He listened to the words in his ears and had not yet realized where he was.
His wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. Xiao Hao was slightly startled and raised his head.
In front of him was a seriously ill and dying person, with only one breath left. Xiao Hao almost doubted whether he would die after the next sentence.
Even so, this person still sat upright on the couch, retaining his final demeanor.
"I know that you are not interested in the court, but the prince is young, so I can only entrust him to you. I will let you take care of the whole country, and I hope you will fulfill my last wish."
Xiao Hao gradually came back to his senses, frowning slightly.
There was a kid standing next to him, who looked about ten years old. The kid didn't fully understand what the person on the couch was saying. His smart and curious eyes kept looking for something new on Xiao Hao.
Behind the beaded curtain beside the couch, several crying women sobbed softly, lowered their heads and wiped their tears.
Xiao Hao had a string of question marks in his mind.
What the hell, what are you playing this time, entrusting an orphan to someone before his death?
He was not able to quickly suppress the murderous aura of Cang Yun, so his eyes were a little fierce. When he turned to the little kid, he was so scared that he stood up straight and dared not look him in the eye.
The young prince silently turned his head to a place where Xiao Hao could not see. Huh... Why does the Grand Secretary seem to dislike him?
I thought the legendary Grand Secretary was either an old antique with a white beard or a pedantic and stubborn nerd. I didn't expect that when I saw him today, he was quite different from the legend. The
little prince didn't have that much knowledge yet, so he couldn't come up with many adjectives. Anyway, he just felt that the person next to him was much more beautiful than the concubines in the harem. Unlike the powdery smell on them, this man has a clean and handsome smell, like a leisurely celebrity who walked out of the mountains and rivers of Qingdu. He doesn't dislike such a great scholar, and even likes him a little.
I just don't know how much this man dislikes me. He glared at me fiercely... Does he look like a trouble?
The old emperor on the sickbed didn't get a reply from Xiao Hao for a long time, and he was so anxious that he started coughing. The palace servants were busy taking care of him and comforting him. The one who looked like the chief steward in the lead quickly winked at Xiao Hao. Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment, resigned to his fate and leaned down and said: "I accept your order."
Well, considering that this man is about to die, I will just agree to it for the time being.
What did this man ask him to do? To help the prince learn? To protect the empire? He has done all kinds of jobs over the years, so teaching should be no problem, right?
[Ding! The knight is calm in the face of danger, like a flower on a mountain, and his status is +50. ]
[Current achievement: Hidden Yuan Secret · Ambition and Satisfaction, progress 50/10000. ]
Xiao Hao took a sneak peek at his equipment while looking down, and the familiar green and white color scheme came into view.
The entry-level set of old Qin Dad... He chuckled in his heart and thought to himself that it was as expected.
The old emperor was satisfied, grabbed his hand and patted it several times, and finally wiped his tears and passed away peacefully.
Everyone was crying. The eunuch of the Imperial Household Department read out the emperor's will. Xiao Hao listened to the contents of the will while sorting out his memories in his mind, as if he was listening very carefully.
He didn't take many things into consideration when he left in the last world. He didn't put Shi Zhixuan safely into the gang's territory. This time, he didn't know if he could find the way.
The Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring was also missing. I think it's still on the Cang Yun.
After all, the Broken Void is not as convenient as he was to be teleported directly. The dangers in the void are so deadly. I hope nothing happens to Shi Zhixuan.
When he thought of the three thousand Cang Yuns in the city, Xiao Hao felt a little uncomfortable. After the spring, the Mongolian army will surely come back. They... are probably gone.
Birth and death are the norm in the world. To be honest, no matter they or the master, they will eventually disappear in the torrent of time.
It is because his years are too long.
In the three thousand worlds, it is a great blessing to be able to walk with them all the way, and it should be clear.
Fortunately, fortunately, there is Shi Zhixuan.
He looked at the little prince beside him, and then looked at the palace people around him who were crying and making trouble, like an independent bystander who was isolated from the world. After a long time, he took the little prince's hand, led him out of the palace, and asked:
"From now on, you are the master of this country. Are you willing to be my disciple?"
The little prince was very happy, and stared at the hand that Xiao Hao was holding him with bright eyes. The hand was slender, white, and with distinct joints. The great scholar carried a zither on his back all year round. With such a pair of hands, he must be a very good zither player!
The little prince nodded vigorously and said proudly: "Of course I am willing!" He suddenly remembered the fierce look that Xiao Hao gave him just now, and then added: "But you can't bully me and fail to teach me wholeheartedly just because I am young."
Xiao Hao glanced at him coldly. Ha, this little devil is quite cunning. "Of course."
The little prince then held his finger and walked with him, saying, "I know my father is gone, but I'm not afraid! I will work hard to be a wise ruler! The master promised my father that he would protect me and teach me well!"
Xiao Hao said "hmm", walked a dozen feet, and then stopped again.
He held the hand of the future little emperor, stared at the small map expressionlessly and asked, "Do you know the way? How can I take you back to the East Palace?"
The little prince: "..."
On the first day that Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty met the great scholar, he unexpectedly discovered that the famous romantic talent in the outside world seemed to be...
a road idiot.
*
Half a month later, the new emperor ascended the throne.
Xiao Hao was really overwhelmed by the trivial matters here. He just promised to teach the young emperor well according to the old emperor's
dying wish, but he didn't expect that this would be such a big trouble. The inner cabinet was in constant dispute, the emperor was young, and there were many things to be done. The country was stable, but it needed to be properly rectified.
The time of this landing was a real prosperous era, which should be the best era for both the court and the people of Jianghu. In this era, it should be a glorious year with endless talents.
He held up the classics, clenched his fist and cleared his mouth, knocked on the table and said, "Your Majesty."
The little emperor was sitting at the desk, drowsy with books on his shoulders, his head nodding from time to time. When Xiao Hao knocked on him, he suddenly woke up, stood up from his seat, and exclaimed: "Ah! What? Time for lunch?!"
Xiao Hao: "..."
Xiao Hao sighed. He thought this kid was smart, but he turned out to be a naughty child.
Well, although at the age of ten, he had to listen to government affairs, personally answer petitions, meet with ministers, and discuss important matters, and he had to listen to classics and history lectures every day when the sun rose, and could not return to the palace until lunch was over, it was indeed too hard for a child of this age, but he was the king of a country. Even if Xiao Hao felt sorry for this little disciple, he had to take the responsibility of disciplining him.
Not to mention... this little emperor was at a mischievous age, with many crooked ideas and cunning tricks, which Xiao Hao could not guard against when he was careless.
He tapped the little emperor's head gently with the book and asked, "Where was I just talking about?"
"Forehead..." The little emperor hesitated, secretly glancing at Xiao Hao's reaction, and tentatively asked, "Kai, Kaiyuan Prosperity..."
Xiao Hao pressed his forehead with a headache. Well, it seems that this little emperor has slept with the entire Tang Dynasty.
Seeing his expression, the little emperor immediately started to act cute, trying to get Xiao Hao to let him go: "Sir, I have read this history book over and over again four or five times, so I will take a break today! I heard from the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department that there are many heroic swordsmen outside the palace, and they are very handsome. How about... how about taking a leave today and going out to see the people?"
Xiao Hao's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile and said to him: "Your Majesty, History... " Books are not meant for you to read in a hurry. Besides, do you know what you are saying?"
The little emperor pulled his sleeve and tried to please him: "Sir, understanding the people's sentiments is also a required course for a monarch!"
Xiao Hao silently pulled back his sleeves, his face unchanged, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, state affairs are more important."
The little emperor pouted, spread his limbs on the ground to form a "big" character, and said in a rogue manner: "My dear ministers are bullying me again!"
"..." Xiao Hao stared at him calmly, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, I have told you many times that it is inappropriate to use such an indecent word as 'my dear ministers' to address ministers." The
little emperor seemed not to hear it, closed his eyes and shouted several times in a row: "My dear ministers, my dear ministers, my dear ministers, my dear ministers!"
Xiao Hao held the scroll and was not surprised by his naughty appearance. This brat would use the word "Ai Qing" to insult him whenever he was unhappy
