Chapter 18
What a reasonable nonsense! Why are you leaving it here?
Xiao Huan had a strange look on his face, and even Wang Bao next to him had a complicated expression. He didn't expect that Master Xie had learned this in the past few days?
Being stared at by several pairs of eyes in the hall, Xie Ling choked and felt a little wronged. He had answered very seriously, why did they all have such expressions?
And disaster relief officials are indeed very important. You have to know that on several occasions in history, disaster relief could have appeased the people. However, due to improper selection of personnel, the disaster was not only not brought under control, but also the people's livelihood was blocked, leading to major uprisings.
This time was not simple either. He remembered that Emperor Wu seemed to have sent an official named Wen from the Ministry of Revenue to the suburbs of Beijing for disaster relief. However, the official was not reliable at all and the relief was delayed. Instead, he heard that there was a good omen in a village in the suburbs and took people to check it out. This led to complaints and people's misery. It was the Eagle Guards who inspected the suburbs of Beijing who found something wrong and reported it in time, beheaded the official named Wen and started disaster relief again.
Otherwise, there might really be chaos in the suburbs of the capital city, right under the feet of the emperor.
Xie Ling blinked, deleted the words he had just written while chatting with the system, and was still apologizing for himself, but he didn't expect that Xiao Huan had already seen the golden light above his head.
Wait, even though Xiao Huan knew that Xie Ling would sometimes talk to himself on the updated article page, he originally thought that this guy would just secretly speculate about his private affairs, but he didn't expect that this time he could trick out an important piece of information.
The Ministry of Revenue officials are inactive and obsessed with auspicious signs?
Xiao Huan choked up in his throat and his expression gradually turned cold. At such an important time, the common people couldn't even afford a bite of food, and this official dared to do this?
Maybe you don't want your head anymore?!
No, Xiao Huan calmed down and thought about it. It was not that the man didn't want it, but that his brain was too "smart". From the disaster in the suburbs of Beijing, he inferred that I might offer sacrifices to heaven, and if it was more serious, I would issue an edict of guilt, and then prepare auspicious signs in advance to flatter me.
In this way, who can still say that the rainstorm is the emperor's fault?
There are really many hidden talents in his court. The Jinshi of the second year of Qianyuan is indeed not an easy person to deal with, but there is no one who does practical work. He frowned and suddenly found that he rarely understood the mentality of these officials in the past.
After Xie Ling finished speaking, he was thinking about how to tactfully remind Emperor Wu to send more people to provide disaster relief this time, and it would be best not to choose the man with the surname Wen.
At this moment, Emperor Wu suddenly looked at him, and his expression was actually... a little satisfied?
Um?
Didn’t you just think that the answer he gave was unreliable? Why has it changed now?
Xie Ling was puzzled, but Xiao Huan had already nodded.
"It's good that Zheng Daru has some teaching achievements."
"The imperial physician will come to check your pulse tomorrow. If you feel better, you can continue to go to the library."
"You are right. We must be careful in selecting officials."
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent, and Wang Bao and others were stunned.
ah?
What is your majesty talking about?
Young Master Xie clearly didn't say anything, so why does Your Majesty feel as if he has said something clever?
Eunuch Wang Bao glanced at Xie Ling cautiously. For the first time, he couldn't help but think: Could it be that this Master Xie has some kind of charm that could bewitch His Majesty like this?
Xie Ling was looked at with strange eyes by everyone. Although it was a little strange that the ending was reached without saying anything, the weird feeling was even stronger.
Forget it, forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I have to continue studying tomorrow.
The next day, when Xie Ling went to Zheng Daru for class, Xiao Huan had already re-determined the candidates for disaster relief in the Council of State. Wen Yi was naturally among them, but Xiao Huan did not let this member of the Ministry of Revenue serve as the chief officer, but assigned him a very casual task to follow the disaster relief team. At the same time, he asked the Eagle Guard to accompany him and secretly monitor Wen Yi to see if he acted as Xie Ling said.
Although he did not intend to hastily convict these people, if he really found out that this was true, there would be nothing to say.
…
Yesterday, Zheng Daru and Xie Ling were both trapped in the palace. After meeting, Xie Ling was very happy to see that Zheng Daru was in high spirits and nothing had happened. However, she also felt a little depressed at the same time.
"Tsk, system, why do I feel like my body is not even as good as Zheng Daru's?"
System: ...You know that too?
Seeing that he finally stopped worrying about whether something was strange or not, the system immediately followed his topic.
"Zheng Daru served in the army when he was young, so it's normal for him to be strong and healthy."
When Zheng Wanyun was young, the situation was not as bad as it is now. Young people were full of vigor and ambition to recover Dayan, and Zheng Wanyun was no exception. After the imperial examination, he saw that there was no place for a poor boy like him in the court, so he simply joined the army, hoping to fight for military merit on the battlefield.
But the person he met was the former emperor.
The previous emperor advocated maintaining the status quo, so Zheng Wanyun was considered to be a man of talent who was not appreciated. He later taught and educated people in the capital until the current emperor ascended the throne, when he was re-employed.
Xie Ling didn't know this, but he nodded after hearing the information scanned by the system.
"Excuse me, it turns out that I'm not useless but the opponent is a stronger version."
Xie Ling was relieved, and he was at ease. Before Xie Ling could relax, the teacher opposite him said, "A Ling, I see that you are weak and pale, and you don't look very strong. After lunch these few days, you can go out and walk around in the Imperial Garden to exercise."
"Otherwise, it won't be good if you get sick again in the future."
ah?
The teacher shows his deep concern. Xie Ling: …
Xie Ling could only agree with tears in his eyes.
God knows he hates exercise the most. Before he traveled through time, he would lie down at home instead of sitting, and sometimes he would not go out once a week. After arriving in the Great Gan Dynasty, he not only became the king of curling, but also had the hope of becoming a fitness champion that made him tired just by looking at it.
Xie Ling's expression was distorted, and the system was a little strange: "Master Su is unwilling, why not refuse?"
He thought the great scholar was quite kind.
Xie Ling shook his head and couldn't say these words when he saw Zheng Daru's caring eyes.
Although Zheng Daru was nominally only a teacher who taught him courses, his concern for him in the past few days was genuine, and what he did just now was truly for his own good.
Xie Ling couldn't do anything to be ungrateful. After all, he could still distinguish between good and bad.
Isn't it just a walk? He can do it! He doesn't believe that he will be too weak to fall ill next time.
Xiao Huan was rarely surprised to hear that Xie Ling actually went to the Imperial Garden after teaching at noon, and he paused for a moment.
"What's going on?"
Isn't this guy too tired to move after class? He still has time to go to the Imperial Garden today.
The eunuch next to him was also shocked by this incident, and came forward to recount in detail what happened in the library at noon.
"Zheng Daru just made a suggestion, but I didn't expect Mr. Xie to agree."
It turns out that Master Xie is so respectful to his teachers. Wang Bao lamented that he had never noticed it before.
Xiao Huan choked a little when he thought of the guy's character of secretly refuting ten sentences for every one he said, but he actually smiled. He dared to be disrespectful to him, but he was polite to others.
After finishing his lunch work, he woke up and looked at the time.
"Xie Ling is still in the Imperial Garden?"
Knowing what His Majesty was asking, Wang Bao immediately leaned forward.
"Still here, Your Majesty. Zheng Daru is giving a lecture at 5 p.m., and Master Xie will be exercising in the Imperial Garden for a while before going back."
After all, it's the first day, so we have to do something nice.
Xie Ling was practicing hard. He had originally planned to just walk around twice, but since he had already come out of it, he might as well practice the Five Animal Exercises twice.
This stuff is good for the body. He had no time to practice it before, but now that he has started, he feels it is quite good. He actually has a detoxifying experience.
After a round of Five Animal Exercises was over, Qian Ming, who was standing next to him, wanted to say something but stopped himself. He didn't expect that Master Xie would suddenly start doing this while walking around.
The Five Animal Exercises did not exist in the Dagan Dynasty. Qian Ming only saw Master Xie moving like a bird at one moment and a bear at another, and he had no idea what he was doing.
Of course, this is entirely due to the fact that Xie Ling's movements are not standard, which makes his training so eye-catching.
As soon as Xiao Huan reached the side of the flowers, he saw Xie Ling pounce on the flowers and twist his body in a lewd manner. He immediately closed his eyes subconsciously.
I was hurt...
Wang Bao also looked confused: What is Mr. Xie doing?
However, thinking of the fleeting golden light just now, Xiao Huan barely controlled his temper and endured the extremely eye-catching action just now. He continued to open his eyes and looked at the top of Xie Ling's head not far away.
"Three sentences to make His Majesty fall in love with me"
"Same old scene - the host is back to the scene of meeting the Emperor Wu again. This time the host is not bragging about immortality."
"The host threw punches left and right, broke free from the Eagle Guards who were holding him, and performed a set of ancient Qigong to strengthen the body and prolong the life of the Emperor!"
"——Five Animal Exercises!"
"Hey, that's it!"
Several little figures shaped like firewood also appeared under the golden characters, doing similar actions to Xie Ling.
Xiao Huan: ...
This is actually the secret method to prolong life? !
After hesitating for a moment and looking at Xie Ling's strange figure, the thought of immortality still occupied his mind, and Xiao Huan took a deep breath.
"Come here, bring me a military uniform."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Huan saw the crowd looking at him in horror: ...
Your Majesty is infected? !
