Chapter 1235. Are you embarrassed to laugh at your junior like this? (first update)
Chapter 1244

"Come on? Come on, come on, sit down quickly, hey, you kid is so kind today, you actually gave me a gift."

Su Dongpo stood up with a smile and greeted Wang Yang, but he soon noticed that Wu Qilang, who was behind Wang Yang, walked in carefully carrying a bottle that was nearly a foot high and at least a foot and a half wide. Suddenly his eyes lit up.

I don't know what kind of liquid it is inside, but it's a full bottle, slightly light yellow in color. What's more important is that there is a wild ginseng with roots as dense as water plants hanging in the middle, and the body is full of wrinkles.

"This is the wild ginseng that my nephew soaked with a burning knife, but I can't drink it now, at least half a month later, you just have to drink such a big glass at a time. Drinking this thing for a long time is good for your health. Please don't drink too much." Wang Yang quickly reminded Su Dongpo when he saw Su Dongpo approaching him to take a look.

"You kid is really extravagant. You actually use such a big crystal bottle to bottle wine. The wild ginseng here is probably a rare thing. Don't you think it's too wasteful to do so?"

"Honoring your elders, how can it be said to be a waste?" Wang Yang said plausibly. "You can be regarded as the elder of the kid. What can the younger generation say about respecting the elder?"

"The old man can believe your wickedness. Tell me, what do you want to gain from this old man?" Su Dongpo motioned Wu Qilang to put the bottle on the small table that Su Dongpo used to place porcelain, admiring the transparent On the crystal bottle, with the shaking of the liquid, the wild ginseng whose roots are slowly stretching, no matter how beautiful it is.

"Well, since you have said so, my nephew has said that Mr. Shen is seriously ill and suffers from chest paralysis. He can only stay in bed to recuperate during this period. I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle the affairs of the Imperial Academy." Wang Yang coughed dryly. I sighed and decided not to continue being hypocritical. I am tired. I am a sincere gentleman after all. What if I go too far and Su Dongpo, an old driver, doesn't help me?
"It's so serious?" Su Dongpo then set his eyes on Wang Yang, his expression became serious. "I heard before that Shen Kuo fainted in Taixue and was sent back to the mansion. I thought it was just a common illness, but I didn't expect..."

#####
"Are you saying that you want to take over and join the Imperial Academy to learn uprightness?" After hearing Wang Yang's request, Su Dongpo couldn't help but fell into deep thought and smacked his mouth.

"That's right, Mr. Shen has now started a subject of Gewu in Taixue. However, this subject has just been established not long ago, and there is a lack of teachers. He is the only one who supports it independently. Coupled with the complicated affairs of Taixue, he is overworked and dies in the end. fell ill."

"If he resigns, then there will be no teacher to preach and teach the first subject of Gewu in Taixue, and the first subject of Gewu will inevitably be stopped. Such a pair is not fair to those students or Mr. Shen."

"So, you want to take over the position of Taixue Xuezheng..." Su Dongpo rubbed his brows, showing a bitter smile.

"But do you think it is possible? Although the positions of the Imperial Academy are not high, both the new party and the old party, as well as His Majesty, value them very much. After all, they are preachers and teachers. If you want to become the official of the Imperial Academy, If the words are spread, I really don’t know what kind of disturbance will be caused.”

"Actually, nephew, I'm really not someone who likes to cause trouble, but there are always people who want to hit me with the tip of the gun. What can I do?" Wang Yang spread his hands and said helplessly.

"My nephew knows that if I rely on my strength alone, it is indeed difficult to succeed, but if you can have your uncle willing to help, and your majesty to support my nephew, there is at least [-]% more certainty in this matter."

"Fifty percent, then how sure were you before?" Su Dongpo lightly tapped the crystal (glass) bottle with his fingers, and listening to the melodious sound, he became leisurely, with a very sure look.

"At most [-] to [-] percent." Wang Yang touched his face and said with a hey hey smile.To be honest, if there is no emperor on his side, there will be no old driver Su Dongpo standing for him.

One or two percent?Hmm... That's definitely just bragging. He has already reduced the reputation of the court to a negative number, let alone [-]% or [-]%, even if it is one thousandth of a chance.

Su Dongpo burst out laughing, but only this old driver, elder and boss dared to laugh like that, but Wu Qilang and others in the hall didn't even dare to say a fart, for fear of being missed by his son, then It is unavoidable to suffer two flying legs.

"Uncle, don't laugh. My nephew, this is the truth." Wang Yang was helpless. You are also an elder after all. Do you feel embarrassed to laugh at the younger generation like this?

"Okay, okay, I will treat you as telling the truth. However, even if I and Your Majesty help you, there is only half a chance. The remaining half of the chance is beyond your control."

"That's why my nephew is here today. Please see if you can contact my disciple Gu Jiuyi to lend a helping hand." Wang Yang nodded happily, and then said with a flattering smile.

Su Dongpo plus the Son of Heaven, I am afraid it is not enough, if all the Shuzhang series also jumped out, of course Zhao Ji, His Royal Highness Duan Wang, would be indispensable to wave the flag for him. But anyway, it won't appear too weak.

After all, if the emperor is willing to stand on his side, he must at least have enough reasons to suppress the opposing voices. Wang Yang does not want the emperor to bear all the pressure because of his own affairs. That is really not Wang Yang's style.

"That's true. In addition, your father-in-law is the Imperial Academy for offering wine, so his opinion will also be very important..." Su Dongpo stroked his gray brows, and after rolling his eyes a few times, he suddenly narrowed his eyes He laughed wickedly.

"Actually, this matter is not too difficult. The Master Kong who learned from Guozixue is now nearly seventy years old, and his body is stronger than that Master Shen, but he is not much stronger."

"When he was last year, Master Kong asked His Majesty to bid farewell, but in the end, His Majesty persuaded him to stay."

Wang Yang stared blankly at Su Dongpo, his face darkened. "Uncle, have you misunderstood? My nephew wants to go to the Imperial College, not the Imperial College."

Su Dongpo waved his hands as if he were shooing away flies, and continued talking to himself. "Let's do it this way. At the court meeting tomorrow, I will join hands with your father-in-law to recommend you as the son of the nation."

Wang Yang had an expression on his face, and he helplessly rubbed his face to show Su Dongpo that he could understand his standard Kaifeng Mandarin.

"...I said, uncle, what do you mean by such an operation? Why should I go to the Imperial College? You must know that my nephew's reputation in the Imperial College is not very good."

"What's the point? Anyway, if you want your dreams to come true, just listen to me." Su Dongpo chuckled, smiling so obscenely, he was as cunning as an old fox who has caught a fat chicken.
