I really don't want to be king

Chapter 5 Forgive Your Highness the Fifth!

Taiji Palace - Taixuefu

"This Taixue Institute...is really big enough."

After stepping into the academy and following Nihuang for a long time, passing several halls along the way, and even passing a racetrack, Zhao Zheng suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Hey Nier, how can there be a racetrack in this school...?"

In Zhao Zheng's impression, shouldn't the schools be full of amiable and amiable Confucian teachers with the sound of reading books?

Why is there a racecourse... Hey, what's the situation with the school yard in front? ?

"Your Highness was joking, the so-called six arts of a gentleman: ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics, of course archery with horses and bows is a compulsory course."

Nihuang thought it was her own Ninth Prince deliberately teasing herself, she immediately chuckled and responded calmly.

'What the hell? ! '

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng yelled in his heart that something was wrong!

He originally thought that he came to some kind of university, just pretending to read books, sleeping on the table for nothing, and sneaking out to play when he got tired of listening.

But it never occurred to him that he would also learn horse riding and archery? ?

hello please!

I'm the majestic Ninth Prince, don't I want to lose face? Riding a horse and bow all day like a reckless man, how decent is that?

Do I want to be a humble and elegant prince like a gentleman, is this not allowed?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng felt even more regretful.

He really wanted to give himself two slaps, why did he have to talk so cheaply yesterday?

Just like before, wouldn't it be nice to be a stupid prince who can't speak?

Stretch out your clothes all day long, open your mouth when you have food, and have a beautiful maid who waits on you 24 hours a day... Isn't this the fairy day envied by the world?

Why do you have to expose yourself with a cheap mouth, but you are treated as the son of destiny by your cheap mother who is nagging, and then you are forcibly sent to such a high school. Gotta ride a horse bow...

What evil do you think you have done to yourself...

Seriously... don't you know how much you weigh?

Thinking wildly in his mind, Zhao Zheng raised his head subconsciously when he finally heard the familiar sound of reading.

'Baiwei Academy'

As soon as these words appeared in his eyes, Zhao Zheng heard a strange voice suddenly ringing in his ears.

"Ah... so it's the Ninth Prince..."

Um?Why does this sound a bit wrong?

Who is this person? It looks like the gentleman here... But...

Hey, what kind of eyes do you have? What's the matter with this kind of eyes that look like you're looking at a fool? ?

"Yes, our Highness is already able to speak, and the empress thinks that she should go to school as soon as possible, so..."

Facing this gentleman who obviously has some status, Nihuang naturally respects him very much, but he has no intention of flattering him.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Tong Ai (worded Yan Xing) was suddenly amazed, and couldn't help but look at the Ninth Prince standing aside, as if he didn't expect the famous 'Silly Prince' to suddenly become enlightened!

"Why are you so rude, sir?"

Zhao Zheng, who had already opened his mouth to speak, couldn't bear to be stared at by this kind of foolish eyes, but he raised his snow-white fingers and questioned him on the spot!

As soon as this remark came out, Tong Ai was shocked!

Even Nihuang, who knew that the Ninth Prince was the "dragon among men", was also very shocked at this moment. She never thought that the Ninth Prince could say such words at such a young age!

"Your Highness, forgive me! Tong Ai (yi), the official of the Chentai Academy, did not intend to offend His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive me!"

Tong Ai bowed his hands on the spot to express his apology.

After all, I made mistakes first, and now I was questioned by the Ninth Prince on the spot. Even if I bear the responsibility of my husband, I must not lose my dignity!

In fact, Tong Ai cannot be solely blamed for this. After all, the name of the 'silly prince' has already spread inside and outside the palace, so when they suddenly heard that the Ninth Prince was able to speak, normal people couldn't help but look at it a few more times, wanting to understand the reason. It's also human nature.

"Forget it, you and I are teachers and students after all, so you don't need to care about it."

When Zhao Zheng saw this, he accepted it as soon as he saw it. After all, he just remembered that this guy might be his "head teacher" in the future. Are you comfortable fishing in troubled waters in the academy?

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Tong Ai and Nihuang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, especially Tong Ai, who couldn't imagine that what he was facing was actually a five-year-old child prince!

Although the tone of the interrogation just now was soft, the pressure and aura it brought seemed to be the coercion that an adult prince can bring!

Thinking of having to discipline two royal students at the same time in the future, Tong Ai felt his head was as big as a bucket.

"Your Highness, the students are all reciting scriptures and chanting, why don't I take His Highness down to meet the Tai Tuo?"

Hearing the title of Grand Tutor, Zhao Zheng immediately became serious. Of course he understood how honorable his mother and concubine had been to him, who had ordered him so many times. In front of the 'Emperor Master' on the top, what kind of prince airs are you putting on.

"So good."

With a tense face, Zhao Zheng pretended to be calm, and followed the 'head teacher' step by step, to meet his future direct boss, who is the master and 'principal' of this Taixue Institute, the head of the current nine ministers. Master Tai Tuo!

I also don't know what this Master Taifu looks like...

While walking, the image of a benevolent Confucian with a benevolent smile and benevolent eyes appeared in Zhao Zheng's mind.

"grown ups..."

When I came to the gate of an official mansion, I saw Tong Ai bowing and saluting outside the gate, and said respectfully.

"Huh? What's bothering me to eat chicken?"

"?"

Zhao Zheng's face was dull when he heard the words, a series of question marks covered his face.

In an instant, the image of the highly respected Confucianism fell apart and collapsed in an instant!

……

"At the age of five, the first emperor entered the palace at the beginning, and Nihuang followed him. When he met the horse and the school, he said strangely: 'Among the schools, where did you come to the school?'.

The first emperor laughed and said: "A gentleman has six arts, he should be a horse and shoot a bow!" ’, Nihuang couldn’t bear it: “If His Highness’s daughter’s body is damaged, what should I do?” '.

The first emperor said to him sternly: "This is a woman's opinion!"A gentleman should practice the six arts and serve the country with his body!How can you think of a little damage and waste food because of choking? ’, Nihuang immediately sighed and said: ‘It is really a great fortune to have such a word! '.

Later, when I met Tong Ai, an official of Zhonglang, I wanted to pay homage to the Grand Tutor first, but the First Emperor refused to allow it, so he said bluntly: "My heart is on the Four Books, and my ambition is on the Five Classics. I only want to study, but I have nothing else to do!" ', Ai Da felt ashamed, hid his face and walked away. "
