Although Man Bao couldn't intercede for her, he still came up with a bad idea for her, "You are obscene, if His Majesty still doesn't agree, you just roll on the ground, and he has no choice but to agree naturally."
Changyu: ...I always think this is a bad idea.
Mingda felt it too, and stretched out his hand to push Man Bao, "Don't make trouble with Sister Changyu."
Changyu thought about it for a long time, and felt that she had no other choice but this method, so she sighed, and when she was having dinner, she hid from the empress, so she ran to chat with her father.
The emperor was quite happy, after all, father and daughter were rarely able to sit together and talk, but after talking for a while, Changyu began to talk about how handsome the envoy from Goryeo she saw two days ago.
Anyway, the emperor knew that they had gone to see their affairs, so there was no need to pretend to hide it.
The emperor knew what she wanted to do with his thumb, and he was a little frustrated.
Of course, Chang Yu is not just acting like a baby, this afternoon, Man Bao and Ming Da still helped her come up with some reasons to persuade the emperor.
Mingda said: "You said it was for the good of the two countries. Since Goguryeo loosened the tribute, it is obvious that it is intentional to repair it. If so, why doesn't the father favor them?"
Man Bao said: "I think Goguryeo has come to pay tribute after many years, and still has the heart of disobedience. In this case, it is better to put them in the Guozijian, teach them out, let them go back to educate the people, and let their king and the king The courtiers take a look at my Da Jin's spirit."
Changyu had a headache, "The reasons you gave are exactly the opposite, which one do you want?"
Mingda covered his mouth with a smile and said, "You talk about Man Bao first, and then talk about mine. This is called suppressing first and then raising."
Man Bao nodded, "That's right."
Before leaving, Man Bao still expressed his dissatisfaction with Gao You and others, "I really don't know what you like about them, there are so many talented people in the Imperial College."
"I like faces," Chang Yu said, "Those bookworms in the Imperial College are no fun at all."
Man Bao didn't think they were nerds, on the contrary, because of Bai Shan and Bai Cheng, she got along with them a lot, and she thought they were too lively.
Neither of the two could convince the other, and finally Man Bao went back to the East Palace, while Chang Yu deliberated to intercede with the emperor.
The emperor originally wanted to refuse directly, but when he heard that Chang Yu had actually got involved in state affairs, and said it clearly and logically, he couldn't help asking her, "Who gave you this idea?"
Chang Yu didn't want to betray his friends and sisters, so he shook his head, "I was the only one who thought about it, father, do you think I'm right?"
The emperor pondered and did not speak.
Chang Yu shook his hand and said, "Father, just agree to me. Anyway, it's just a few places in the Imperial College, and they are envoys from foreign countries, so you can't go wrong if you give them three provinces."
The emperor said, "You still know the three provinces?"
"Father~~" Chang Yu shook the emperor's hands and looked eagerly.
After all, it was a rare request from his daughter, the emperor nodded after pondering for a while, "Okay, let them go to the four schools to study, and let them go back to educate their people after they finish their studies."
Changyu became happy, "Father, you are so kind!"
"Now can you tell me who taught you these words?"
Looking at her father's expression, Chang Yu felt that it was okay, not angry, so he laughed and said, "Ming Da and Man Bao taught me."
Forget about Mingda, what happened to Zhou Man
The emperor frowned, and only then did he complain to him, and then turned around and asked Chang Yu to intercede
He glanced at the silly daughter and asked, "When did they teach you?"
"This afternoon, I have been thinking for a long time before I can organize the language. Father, am I good?"
The emperor nodded perfunctorily, "Excellent, it's fine, you go back, tomorrow I will ask Honglu Temple to arrange it."
After Changyu left, the emperor said to Gu Zhong: "Go and ask the attendants who served the two princesses this afternoon, what did Zhou Man tell them?"
Gu Zhong knew that the emperor was a little angry at Zhou Man's double-sidedness, so he quickly retreated, and came back after a long time without saying a word.
He recounted everything the attendants had heard today, not mentioning him, even the emperor would be angry and happy, "The reason why she sued me here is because of her likes and dislikes, to give Chang Yu some advice. Do you miss your friendship?"
Gu Zhong smiled and comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, the princesses and Master Zhou are still young, their temperaments are uncertain, and they don't have the stubbornness of the elders in the court. Naturally, they just think about it."
After finishing speaking, he laughed again: "My slave thinks, Master Zhou gave advice to the princess because he is a friend, so he can't save face."
The emperor was not very angry now, after all Zhou Man had clearly told Chang Yu that she had just filed a criminal complaint with him, so it wasn't really two-faced, but he still snorted.
Gu Zhong said again, "But Master Zhou is really clever, he thought of such a good excuse in such a short time."
The emperor glanced at Gu Zhong, "You have a good impression of Zhou Man."
Gu Zhong's back tightened, his heart tightened, but he said with a relaxed and annoyed expression on his face: "Your Majesty can tell, who wouldn't like a clever little girl like Mrs. Zhou? The slave looked at the two I grew up with two princesses, and when I saw Mrs. Zhou, I felt that she was so naive and similar to the two princesses."
The emperor just mentioned it casually, and when he heard what Gu Zhong said, he nodded with a smile, "There are too many treacherous and cunning adults in the palace. It's rare for a young and innocent person to come in. It's something new."
Gu Zhong responded with a smile on his face, but what he thought in his heart was that it seems that he should not be too close to Zhou Man in the future.
At this time, Gu Zhong's apprentice had just boiled the medicine bag, and when Gu Zhong served the emperor and went back to his room, his apprentice immediately brought a sealed foot bath bucket and said, "Master, I will send it to you today." When Master Zhou went to the East Palace, she gave me a medicine bag, saying it was for soaking your feet, it can relieve pain and eliminate rheumatism."
While slipping his shoes, Gu Zhong said: "Didn't you say that you should stop soaking medicinal materials? The smell will make the masters smell bad."
His apprentice said: "Master, don't worry, look at this wooden barrel, which was painted by Lord Zhou. Once the lid is closed, the smell of the medicine will be much weaker. After soaking your feet and waiting for a while, you can open the window again, and there won't be much floating out." .”
He said: "The medicine bag is boiled in the kitchen, the smell cannot be transmitted here, so you can rest assured."
He was very distressed, "The weather has started to get cold these days, and Master is in so much pain that he can't sleep anymore."
Gu Zhong stopped talking, and let his apprentice take off his shoes and socks and soak his feet in the medicine bucket. He let out a comfortable breath, and said: "In the future, I will take something from Mr. Zhou to avoid people. Don't tell the outside world that we had a close relationship with Mr. Zhou, do you know?"
His apprentice was stunned for a moment and then responded, "I have written it down, and I will keep it in my heart from now on."
