"Starting tomorrow, every afternoon, let Hua Qi teach you and Si Lang how to ride. You should also practice martial arts. Zhang Shou is good in everything except his physique. His martial arts skills are even more mediocre. It would be great if he could be as talented in martial arts as Yingying! Unfortunately, no one is perfect. If he is really good at both civil and military affairs, like Yingying's elder brother, I would think he is a pair of freaks!"
Seeing his stupid son still looking at him in confusion, the emperor was immediately furious: "Don't you understand? If you train yourself better, you can live longer in the future. Besides, you will be able to withstand the beatings better!"
What does it mean to be able to withstand a beating better
At dusk, Zhang Shou received the paper for the math problem and immediately distributed it to many students, asking them to complete the initial screening as soon as possible. He then leisurely left the school with Ah Liu as usual through a fence somewhere, but ran into Hua Qi who was waiting for him. Hua Qi didn't say anything nonsense and directly told the emperor's original words to let the third prince practice martial arts well.
Zhang Shou was so confused that he was speechless. When Ah Liu came over with his horse as if nothing had happened, he asked helplessly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been beaten for several days. Why did the Emperor send you, Master Hua Qi, to question him now?"
Was it because his reaction time was too long? Or was it because the Third Prince had hidden it so well that no one else had noticed? Of all the tutors in the Eastern Palace, it seems that no one had noticed it, but the Emperor, as a father, had only discovered it today when the Third Prince lived next door to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Wasn't this father too careless
"It's not that I'm going to charge you with this. It's just that the Crown Prince thought he could keep it a secret until the Emperor exposed him. He had to tell the whole story. The Emperor then threw the brothers to me and asked me to teach them martial arts so they wouldn't be vulnerable. In fact, the Emperor didn't ask me to come here because I wanted to tell you that the Emperor already knows about this."
Hua Qi shrugged, and said with a half-smile, "Now that I no longer have a job at the Duke of Zhao's mansion, I don't have to watch your little guys in Zhang Garden practice martial arts every day. I finally have some free time, but now I have these two burdens. I can't beat them or scold them in the future. Isn't this going to make you, the culprit, feel a little nervous?"
Hearing that this was the reason, Zhang Shou immediately glanced at this madman. The emperor seemed to have no problem with him teaching the crown prince a lesson, and instead asked Hua Qi to teach the third and fourth princes martial arts to strengthen their bodies and withstand more attacks. But why did he feel that this was more like a sarcastic remark
If it were someone else, they might be trembling with fear and carefully ponder whether Hua Qi was joking or hinting, but Zhang Shou was too lazy to think so much. He didn't have the habit of guessing the emperor's thoughts. If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it. He said nonchalantly: "Yes, wealth, glory, knowledge, and supreme achievements are not as good as a strong body."
"As the saying goes, if you have something, don't be sick; if you don't have something, don't be poor."
The last sentence finally succeeded in choking Hua Qi. He glanced at Zhang Shou, who seemed to be fine, smiled and quietly disappeared. Ah Liu, who had been silent just now, came up and whispered to Zhang Shou: "I should have let me take over the fight earlier."
