Lin Zhiya: "Oops, the table crushed my foot."
Zhao Chen put down his pen and wanted to check it out after hearing this. Lin Zhiya in his arms slipped off him like a fish and limped out: "Your Majesty, I will go find the imperial physician to see you. I will take my leave now."
Zhao Chen's hand hit nothing.
Lin Zhiya walked out of the imperial study and bumped into Tutor Sun who was about to go in. Tutor Sun had completely white hair and beard, and was a thin, capable old man.
The two men passed each other. Tutor Sun frowned without leaving a trace, walked into the imperial study, and began to slowly rebuke Zhao Xiaoxiong to Zhao Chen.
Grand Tutor Sun: "Your Majesty, have you heard about the Fifth Prince's recent behavior? The Fifth Prince has not come to study for three days, and even when he studies, he is half-hearted."
Zhao Chen was not surprised and said calmly: "Taifu, just say whatever you want to say."
Grand Tutor Sun: "The Fifth Prince was already behind in talent, and his closeness to Concubine Wan further delayed his studies."
Zhao Chen laughed, "Yuan Ling was born to Wan Concubine. Is the Grand Tutor going to teach him to be unfilial to his mother? Besides, what does Yuan Ling's refusal to study have to do with Wan Concubine?"
...
...
Imperial Tutor Sun shook his head. “Your Majesty, don’t forget that Concubine Wan is not very educated. As far as I know, Concubine Wan can’t even recognize all the characters. If you think about Concubine Wan’s father…”
Speaking of Lin Yiyuan, Grand Tutor Sun's expression froze a little. He thought back to the time when he and Lin Yiyuan were both juren in the same class. It was an insult to Grand Tutor Sun that such a romantic and bookish person like Lin Yiyuan had passed the examination and become a juren.
Zhao Chen listened expressionlessly, and the veins on his hands suddenly bulged.
Grand Tutor Sun spoke of Lin Yiyuan with a hint of disdain, "Lord Lin devoted himself to studying, and his attainments were extremely limited. After becoming an official, he couldn't even afford to eat. It's clear that the bloodline of the Lin family can't achieve anything great."
Zhao Chensheng slammed the table with a chill in his voice: "Grandmaster Sun is dissatisfied with me, right? The fifth prince is my bloodline!"
Seeing this, Grand Tutor Sun could only show weakness: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that Wanpin is unable to educate the Fifth Prince, and the Fifth Prince should be kept away from Wanpin."
This time, Zhao Chen didn't listen to Tutor Sun's words and left with a cold face. He sneered in his heart, "Is it your turn to point fingers at my own son, my own Concubine Wan?"
No matter how untalented Lin Zhiya is, she is still Yuanling's biological mother. Moreover, Lin Zhiya is not the good-for-nothing person as described by Grand Tutor Sun!
In the imperial study, the table was shaking.
Imperial Tutor Sun rolled up his sleeves and sighed, the Emperor's temper had been getting worse and worse recently... Especially after Prime Minister Liu believed in Buddhism, no one in the court dared to say a word, and everyone nodded to whatever the Emperor said.
There was a flash of sadness in Grand Tutor Sun's eyes. He couldn't understand why Prime Minister Liu, who used to talk with him late into the night about his ambitions, had become like this.
Prime Minister Liu, who dared to challenge the emperor, will never come back.
Grand Tutor Sun looked down and saw a book propped up on the corner of the table. He became angry and said, "The emperor actually used a book to prop up the table. How can this behavior set an example for the world?"
He picked up the book and saw a portrait of Zhao Chen on it. Tutor Sun's eyes twitched and he opened the page. There were a few big words written on it.
The Emperor's Strategy!
"Who, who dares to speak so arrogantly?" Taifu Sun was dumbfounded. The principles behind the emperor's book were extremely profound, and no book dared to give it such a straightforward and crude name.
Tutor Sun opened the first page of text, and the words on it stimulated him so much that it seemed as if all the pores in his body opened up.
Half an incense stick later, Tutor Sun sneaked out of the imperial study with the emperor's strategy and returned to his mansion. He asked the servants to light two red candles, and then he bent over the desk and copied three volumes in a row.
"What a talent! Only a man of great experience can write such a sentence."
"Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will be confused... Your Majesty, when will you understand?"
“Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease; honest advice is unpleasant to the ear but is good for one’s conduct. These words touch my heart.”
The servants shuddered when they heard Master Sun's crazy shouting coming from inside the room.
It was dawn and the two large red candles in the room had burned out. The first rays of light in the morning shone on Tutor Sun's bloodshot eyes.
The housekeeper said worriedly at the door: "Master, it's time for breakfast. You haven't slept all night. Do you want to take a day off?"
Grand Tutor Sun was full of energy. He sent someone to deliver the copied part to Lushan Academy, then hurried out. "Breakfast? No need."
"Prepare the carriage, prepare the carriage. I want to teach these golden words of wisdom to the princes."
…
Zhao Xiaoxiong was waiting for Tutor Sun at the door. He stood tall and straight with a serious expression, trying hard to be a good student.
Hearing the footsteps of Tutor Sun, Zhao Xiaoxiong looked around expectantly. Hiding behind his back was the article he had copied yesterday. The handwriting was neat and he had written it all carefully.
Although his fingers were a little numb from copying, Zhao Xiaoxiong still had no complaints.
He knew that Tutor Sun had many complaints about his grandfather, and also disliked him and his mother, so Zhao Xiaoxiong had to do his homework more carefully and study hard to change Tutor Sun's opinion of him and his mother.
Although Zhao Xiaoxiong hasn't done it yet.
Master Sun looked at him in confusion and took the rice paper from Zhao Xiaoxiong's hand: "Is this the homework you copied?"
Zhao Xiaoxiong nodded.
Tutor Sun flipped open two pages. Zhao Xiaoxiong was young and his handwriting was childish, and it was obvious that he had copied them all himself.
He felt slightly satisfied. Although Wanpin's child was not very talented, he was quite serious. It could be seen that Wanpin also had her shining points, unlike Lin Yiyuan who was completely useless.
Zhao Xiaoxiong took the opportunity to ask: "Master, can I study annotations today?"
Master Sun sternly rebuked him: "You are so eager for quick success. Keep copying tonight. When you can recite it backwards by heart, then you can learn the annotations!"
At this time, the fourth prince came up with the homework that he had asked his companion to write for him. Grand Tutor Sun praised him, "Yes, you are talented and will be able to take on important responsibilities in the future."
The fourth prince laughed triumphantly.
Grand Tutor Sun said to him, "I got a rare book from the emperor's study. I will tell you about it today. You and the third prince will stay here later today, and I will continue to explain the holy words to you."
Tutor Sun picked out a few sentences from the copied Emperor's Strategies and explained them in class, which caused students to whisper to each other and the class was very lively.
When no one was paying attention, Zhao Xiaoxiong walked out, with no expression on his face. His companion was holding their textbooks and stammering, "Yuanling, where are you going?"
Zhao Xiaoxiong said without even turning his head: "I don't want to learn anymore."
Lin Zhiya was drinking scented tea when she saw Zhao Xiaoxiong coming over listlessly.
Zhao Xiaoxiong: "Mom, I don't want to study, can I become a military commander?"
Lin Zhiya showed a little hesitation on her face, which made Zhao Xiaoxiong nervous. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiya continued, "Being a warrior will get you hurt. It's better to be a rich man. Mother will save a lot of money for you."
