This was an era of supreme imperial power.
Even though the imperial power is now declining, loyal ministers like the Nan family father and son still respect the imperial power.
But many times, they respected more than just an emperor.
Hearing that this military book was actually copied word for word by the emperor himself, he immediately became serious.
Regardless of the content of this book, the mere fact that it was written by the emperor himself makes its meaning essentially different.
"Such a gift, Luo Ying, why don't you thank His Majesty!"
Nan Wu Ju was a little jealous at first, but now he hurriedly ordered Nan Luoying to express her gratitude.
Nan Luoying's heart was moved as well, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the letter."
However, when she heard Cao Xiong's words, she had different thoughts from Nan Wu Ju, Nan Cang and others.
Nan Cang and others subconsciously thought that this so-called "imperial handwriting" was just a copy.
But Nan Luoying heard something different. Cao Xiong had said before that he had "personally written two military strategies"...
Write, don’t copy!
This made her subconsciously recall that the emperor had once inadvertently said something that was well versed in the art of war.
But she had never seen that sentence in any military book.
I was a little concerned at that time... Could it be that the emperor was also proficient in military strategy?
But it was just a fleeting thought at the time and I forgot about it afterwards.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered it.
I subconsciously looked at the names of the two classics on the plate and was stunned.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War, Jixiao Xinshu... Your Majesty, may I ask which military masters wrote these two classics?"
Nan Luoying couldn't help but ask.
"Luo Ying!"
Nan Wu Jue frowned and scolded her again when he saw that the girl had become stubborn again.
But when he heard the names of the two military books, he was also stunned.
He thought he had read quite a few military books, but he couldn't say he had read every military book in the world...
But generally speaking, even if you haven't read a work on military strategy, you have definitely heard of it.
Even if many of them have been lost or are secret treasures of some aristocratic families, it is unlikely that they would exist in the world without any reputation.
It was incredible that he had never heard of these two films.
Nan Cang and Nan Wuyou couldn't help but glance over when they saw the reactions of the father and daughter.
"Uh, grandson..."
When Nan Wuyou saw "The Art of War", he subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Nan Cang glanced over at him.
He immediately realized that he had spoken out of turn, and also realized that this grandson was not that grandson. He quickly changed his words and asked Nan Cang in a low voice, "Sir, has our Great Qin ever had a military sage named Sun?"
In fact, Nan Cang was also suspicious. Throughout history, there were quite a few famous generals with the surname Sun, but when it came to anyone who could prove himself a sage through the art of war, the two of them couldn't think of one at the moment.
However, Nan Cang would not lose his composure like him. He said calmly, "Throughout the ages, the world has undergone countless changes. How many saints and sages have been lost in the wild? How many saints and sages are left with only their names but not their words? Is there anything strange about this?"
When he said this, Nan Wu Ju and Nan Wu You beside him nodded silently.
Nan Luoying couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied. She thought that although what Grandpa said made sense, why couldn't the emperor have written it himself?
Although it does seem... a little unlikely, it's not completely impossible...
Suddenly, she felt a little itchy and wanted to see what was written in it immediately.
Zhao Xin didn't say anything about this. He was well aware of the suspicions in the hearts of the Nan family father and son, but he didn't care.
It's very simple. He was not confident in himself, but in the works of the Military Sage and Qi Jiguang.
They are all national treasures left behind after standing the test of history.
And he is also confident in the vision of the Nan family.
He believed that the father and son of the Nan family were suspicious now, but once they saw it, they would definitely know how valuable the treasure I gave them was.
So he just smiled calmly and didn't explain much.
As for whether the Nan family would misunderstand that he wrote it...
How is that possible!
The impression of a tyrant might be easily erased, but the idea of him suddenly becoming a military sage was so bizarre that they would never believe it even if they were beaten to death.
Just at this time, the eunuch came to report that Zhao Hu and Zhao Ben had already arrived outside the hall.
Zhao Xin immediately raised his hand and said, "Announce!"
The Nan family father and son also hurriedly sat up straight.
A moment later, Zhao Ben and Zhao Hu walked in together.
"Your Majesty, I, Zhao Hu (Zhao Ben), pay my respects to you!"
The two of them bowed together, and seeing that the Nan Cang family was there, both of their expressions changed.
They immediately understood why the emperor summoned them.
However, the two people's reactions were different.
Zhao Ben's expression only changed slightly before he regained his composure.
But Zhao Hu frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"My two beloved ministers, please excuse your formalities and take your seats."
Zhao Xin raised his hand and gave them a light support, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.
He also ordered people to arrange seats for the two of them.
After the two of them thanked him and took their seats, Zhao Xin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point of accepting the betrothal gift.
"My two beloved ministers, one is the Minister of Rites, in charge of state etiquette, and the other is the Minister of Imperial Clan Affairs, in charge of imperial clan affairs. Although my marriage to Nan Luoying is a private matter, for the sake of etiquette, I still need you two to be witnesses."
Hearing the emperor say this, Zhao Ben was not surprised at all and immediately accepted the order.
But the Imperial Clan Minister Zhao Hu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I'm afraid I cannot obey your orders."
As soon as he said this, the entire room fell silent.
Nan Cang, Nan Wu Ju and Nan Wu You from the Nan family all looked gloomy.
But the three of them didn't say anything, because they were surprised but also not surprised that Zhao Hu didn't cooperate.
