The emperor went to the attic, and after listening for a long time, he finally understood what was going on in the Imperial Medical Office.
Man Bao also made it clear, so he quietly picked up the newly added tea on the table and took a sip.
The emperor happened to see it when he looked back from a distance, he paused and asked: "You and your two younger brothers are studying in the palace now, so what is your husband doing at home now?"
"Reading," Man Bao said, "Sir, he said that when he comes to the capital again, he realizes that there are so many books in the world that he hasn't read, and he also has friends on weekdays, so he's busy."
In fact, last time Bai Shan copied a book from the library and gave it back to him. Although there were only about 800 short characters, he read it with great interest and was still studying it recently. The text was too difficult to understand. Po can't understand.
The emperor smiled and asked, "He has been a gentleman for so long, and he hasn't finished reading the book yet?"
"There are always endless books in the world." Man Bao paused and said, "That's what our husband said."
The emperor asked: "Then he must have read the books outside? Has he ever thought about going into the palace to look for books?"
Man Baofu was in his heart, his eyes flickered slightly, and his voice softened a little, "Mr. is naturally willing to read more books."
The emperor smiled when he heard the words, and was about to speak when he heard a burst of laughter from below. He couldn't help but lower his head to look, and saw a few students from Chongwen Hall running past under the attic chasing and playing.
He couldn't help but look at Gu Zhong.
Gu Zhong immediately bent down and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, after school, it's time for lunch."
The emperor nodded, pointed at Bai Shan and Bai Cheng who were not far away, and said, "Declarate them both as disciples, and I will also ask them what they mean."
Man Bao thought to himself, they are not stupid, so they must be willing.
A servant went down to find Bai Shan and Bai Cheng, both of them raised their heads to look upstairs, only to see a few guards guarding upstairs, but nothing.
However, the one who can let the guards guard the attic in the East Palace, if not the prince who just had a lesson with them, would be the emperor.
The two of them gave Feng Zongping a few winks, then followed the servant and left.
Feng Zongping and the others immediately behaved dignifiedly, not daring to chase and fight anymore.
After going up to the third floor, the emperor asked Bai Shan and Bai Cheng the same words, and Bai Cheng naturally wanted to nod his head and say, "Okay, okay". If the gentleman comes into the palace, it should be the gentleman, right
It's just that he is a younger brother, according to Mr.'s intention and his habit, he secretly glanced at Zhou Man and Bai Shan first.
Bai Shan also took a look at Man Bao, saw that she blinked and roughly guessed what she had just said, he paused, then cupped his hands and declined and said: "Your Majesty values it, sir should be happy, but I am afraid that I will disappoint His Majesty." expect."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I have also met Mr. Zhuang. It is good that he can teach you three disciples. How can you let him down?"
Bai Shan paused and then said bluntly: "Sir's reputation is flawed, I'm afraid it will drag His Highness the Crown Prince down after entering the East Palace."
Bai Shandao: "The crown prince is the heir of the country, so he must be surrounded by talented people. My husband suffered a lot when he was young, and now he is still being criticized because of past events. How can he serve in the East Palace like this?"
Originally, the emperor who had nothing to do was moved in his heart. Originally, although Zhuang Xun was good, there were many people in the court who were better than him.
For example, Wei Zhi, Zhuang Xun asked Zhou Man a few questions, no matter whether he really thought of it or asked it inadvertently, Wei Zhi actually thought of it.
Therefore, Zhuang Xun is dispensable to the crown prince. It would be good if he could recruit a gentleman to teach the crown prince for the East Palace. If not, other ministers can also replace him.
But now...
When the emperor thought about it, Zhuang Xun's knowledge was second to none, and his character experience was quite suitable for the current prince.
Zhou Man's senior sister and brother stood obediently in front of the emperor with their heads down. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, they couldn't help but secretly raised their eyes to look at him.
Gu Zhong, who was standing beside the emperor, couldn't help looking away when he saw it. They are really three silly children. Why can't they bear it any longer
The emperor just came back to his senses, and as soon as he lowered his head, he met the little eyes of the three of them.
The three of them immediately lowered their heads and pretended they hadn't done anything.
emperor:…
He snorted softly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, you guys go down."
The three retreated inexplicably, so did they let their husbands enter the palace, or did they not let their husbands enter the palace
When they were retreating, they happened to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who knew that his father was coming to the East Palace, so he escaped under the pretext of Wei Zhi.
The three stood sideways at the stairs, bowed and waited for the prince to go up before going down.
The prince glanced at them, nodded slightly and continued to look for his father.
The emperor understood his expression, and asked with a smile, "Why, Wei Zhi has remonstrated with you again?"
The crown prince didn't want to discuss with his father that he was scolded by his husband, so he changed the subject, "What did the father call the three of them?"
The emperor asked, "What do you think of these three children?"
The prince nodded and said: "Not bad, Zhou Man has good medical skills, and he has the heart of a child, Bai Shan has wisdom, and can be a capable minister."
As for Bai Erlang, the prince did not comment, after all, there are many people like him.
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "They are all born from one person."
He said: "Your Chongwen Museum has just selected so many students, and there are not enough lecturers. Why don't you add a teacher to them."
The prince was slightly surprised, "But he has no fame, not even a Jinshi, so how can he enter the Chongwen Hall to give lectures?"
The emperor said: "Teacher, if you don't learn from talent, you can learn from virtue. His talent and learning may not be as good as the teachers and students in the museum, but his virtue is high, and that's enough."
He said: "He was framed by his classmates and lived in a difficult life, but he has never complained over the years. I have seen him before, and I can't see a trace of gloom from him at that time. Now his three disciples don't say they are famous, but they can It is not difficult to go in and out of the palace, to see you and me, but I have never used the opportunity to suppress my enemies."
In the past year, Zhuang Xun has been calm and calm, and seems to have forgotten the wrongs he suffered in the early years, and the emperor still admires him from the bottom of his heart.
So he said: "Based on this virtue, it is enough to specially recruit him into the East Palace as a servant."
The prince's face was slightly gloomy, thinking that the emperor was using Zhuang Xun to beat him.
But the relationship between the father and son has eased a lot recently, even if there is anger and resentment in his heart, he resists it and does not show it.
The emperor only thought that he was seriously thinking about his words. After waiting for a while, seeing that he was still speechless, he asked with a smile, "What do you mean? Do you agree or not?"
The prince said quickly: "Isn't the father the emperor who agrees or not? The servants in the East Palace are all arranged by you, aren't they?"
The emperor got up and said: "Then this matter is settled like this. Feng Zhuangxun will teach for the ninth rank servant, and let him choose a day to come into the palace to teach the prince."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
