Come on, Your Highness

Xie Er is now a doctor of the household department. It is reasonable to say that he has a grandfather who is the chief assistant of the cabinet. After all these years, he should also take the position of minister, not to mention that he has always been quick in handling affairs.

But this person doesn't like to deal with people, he's a bit ruthless, his preferences are known to the entire household department, so he thinks about math.

If the ambition is not to be an official, Mr. Xie Ge will let him go.

Although no one in Xie's family dared to provoke him, no one showed a cold face. He walked alone, and he was used to the two-point line between home and Yamen.

It's just that, in the past few days, Yuanwailang under him has one or two principals, and he is a little too enthusiastic about him.

Xie Er doesn't like dealing with people, but it doesn't mean he refuses all contacts.

Seeing these people smiling and courteous, with some small gifts in their hands, he thought for a while and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Master Xie is wise." A paper was immediately placed in front of Xie Er.

"This is homework. Mr. He asked to hand it in tomorrow. I did a few questions, but I couldn't understand the last one. Please thank you for your advice."

As soon as Yuanwailang finished speaking, the people around him rushed over together.

Xie Er was a little unaccustomed to being surrounded by so many people, so he couldn't help asking, "Are you also taking the exam?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Xie Er frowned immediately.

Then I heard You Shilang, who was over half a hundred years old, said with a smile: "Our prince is good at math, so why don't you make plans early."

Officials are all good people, and their ability to do things is second, but if they don't know how to please the emperor, then they are a real fool.

It doesn't matter whether arithmetic is useful or not, whoever makes the future emperor like it, no matter how stupid or old he is, he has to learn it, right?If he could win face in front of the emperor in the future, if he couldn't do it himself, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity and hand it over to others?

Xie Er didn't say anything after hearing this, just took the paper and read it.

He Xichao's homework questions are not too difficult, and the first part has already been done, only the last one, Pythagorean, needs to turn a corner and use his brain to solve it.

Xie Er thought for a while, and then he got the method. He told several colleagues, and some of them copied the questions and answers for reference.

Xie Er stopped one of them and asked, "When does He Xichao start classes?"

The man replied: "He starts the class the next day, and it will start half an hour later today. Is Mr. Xie going to listen?"

Xie Er nodded.

"The next official advises Mr. Xie not to go."

Xie Er was surprised: "Why?"

The man smiled wryly and said, "You can't squeeze in at all. Except for the few who are going to take the exam and have a place to sit, everyone else is sitting around and listening. But when we go down to the yamen, the three floors inside and outside have already been blocked, and the noise can be heard." not."

The students from the major academies are the most active in grabbing positions. Regarding the matter of studying and studying, they will never give up their seats even if they face Mr. Xie Ge.

Not only is it useless to put on an official prestige, but if it causes a dispute, the imperial censor will commit the crime of bullying you in front of the emperor the next day.

It should be said that officials learn arithmetic to cater to the preferences of future monarchs, while scholars, especially those who have not yet passed the exam, do so for their future.

Although this time it was just an examination for the selection of low-level officials by the Prince's Mansion, once the Prince ascended the throne, it was hard to say whether arithmetic would be introduced into the imperial examination Chunwei.

After all, in the past few dynasties, there were indeed times when mathematics was taken, but now Confucianism is the only subject, so this subject was removed, and it will be normal if it recovers in the future.

Now the celebrity in front of the prince, the current number one scholar, and even the examiner personally guide the class, who would miss this opportunity?

Classes started in the evening, and after lunch, when the door opened, someone would occupy a seat in advance.

In addition to the 84 seats in the small square, there are auditoriums around the side. For the sake of fairness, the several major academies and the Imperial College are all allocated equally, and others have to be occupied by people.

With an errand on his body, how can the people who are designated to go to the yamen beat the group of scholars?

If he went down to the Yamen earlier... the crime of dereliction of duty would be on his head tomorrow.

Xie Er finally gave up his plan to go to the class, went home, and was brought in front of Mr. Xie Ge.

Looking at the familiar paper in front of him, he twitched the corner of his mouth and blurted out: "Grandfather, do you want to learn at your age?"

In an instant, the kind-hearted Mr. Xie Ge picked up the pen in hand and threw it over, angrily said: "What is this age? I am still more intelligent than you, a brat like you even at the age of [-]!"

Xie Er hurriedly dodged and shook his head violently: "Grandson doesn't mean that, do it right away, don't be angry."

"Hmph! One or two don't worry about it, they're as stupid as a bull, learn from your little uncle!" Xie Ge calmly served tea angrily.

Compared with He Xichao, everyone is a fool.

Xie Er slandered in his heart, he didn't imitate his younger brother to say it face to face and was beaten, so he finished the paper silently, put down his pen, and asked, "Where did you get this paper from?"

"The little grandson of Lao Hu's family entrusted him here." Xie Ge said, "He can't squeeze into Yueshan Academy."

Old Hu was old Hu Ge, Xie Er said "Oh" and then fell silent, he was not very talkative by nature.

Xie Ge took a look at him: "Siyuan and Sigui, teach them more when you have time."

After saying this, Xie Er couldn't help asking: "Grandfather, is it true that arithmetic will be introduced in the imperial examination in the future?"

Mr. Xie Ge held the tea and nodded: "Sooner or later."

Apart from Emperor Tiangan, Lao Xie probably saw the most of Xiao Hong's excerpts, and most of them were given by the emperor.

Sending it to the cabinet means that the emperor agrees, and it can be done directly according to the process.

In front of everyone, the King of England is always a carefree, frizzy, and not very particular person, but he is extremely serious and considerate in doing things, as can be seen from the booklet.

The wording is unpretentious but rigorous and thorough, and all conclusions are justified.

Exact figures, the least favorite of ministers, are the most effective grounds for the King's arguments.

Xie Ge had noticed this style early on.

People who are accustomed to using numbers are not bad at arithmetic. Xie Ge always thought that during the Spring Festival of a certain year, the emperor had to send people out of the palace overnight to ask for advice on arithmetic, so he knew Xiao Hong's arithmetic was excellent.

Among them is He Xichao's handwriting, and even Mr. Xie Ge guessed that the first person who taught mathematics to He Xichao might be the King of England.

This little apprentice never did useless things, and what he wanted to train the king of mathematics from a young age was probably this meticulous and dexterous mind.

Thinking about Xiao Hong's sudden rebuttals in the court, he often grasped the false data of the minister. His calculation ability and understanding of the normal life of the people are really impressive.

In fact, when one is truly a high-ranking official and needs to coordinate the overall situation, one realizes the usefulness of arithmetic.

He Xichao took advantage of the opportunity of being selected by the Prince's Mansion to bring mathematics into the scholarly academy, which was a very obvious omen.

Not only the Xie family, but other scholarly families and official families are already making plans.

"Grandpa, someone is coming from the palace, and the emperor has summoned you." The old servant suddenly knocked on the door and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Mr. Xie Ge said to Xie Er: "You go."

"Yes, grandfather."

Xie Erfang turned around, and behind him, Mr. Xie Ge said: "Books related to mathematics are scarce, and it is even more difficult to find the annotations for "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". Since you are studying mathematics, don't waste this ability. You might as well compile a book and annotate it. , can also be regarded as a benefit to scholars all over the world."

The viciousness of Xie Ge's old vision is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Now that mathematics has not yet become a trend, the Xie family has already started publishing books.

Xie Er thought for a while and said, "Young Master Uncle should also be able to write a book."

"It doesn't matter if a single tree doesn't make a forest."

This is to create momentum for He Xichao, Xie Er agreed: "Yes, grandson understands."

The key to the palace gate has been released. At this time, the emperor summoned him, and Mr. Xie Ge guessed that it was related to the north.

He guessed right, but when Emperor Qian of the day discussed with him the candidates for the generals, he was extremely surprised, because it was not the commander-in-chief that was chosen, but the generals from all walks of life.

"Prince please take orders to go to the north." When the emperor said this, although there was pride in his eyes, but more helplessness and worry, his words were all low.

He didn't agree with it, and he was not willing to put Xiao Hong in danger, but after tossing and turning, unable to sleep for many days, he really couldn't think of a better candidate than Xiao Hong, so he had to agree.

Xiao Hong's current position is already secure, and there is really no need to risk going to the frontier. If he doesn't go, no one will blame him at all.

To be honest, he has not yet reached the weak crown, and no one expects the 19-year-old prince to take on such an important task.

But, I really didn't expect... Xie Ge only revealed a little information to He Xichao, and Xiao Hong directly asked the emperor for orders.

Such a firm mind and decisive decision, even the elder Xie Ge, who has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years, was shocked by it.

He was stunned for a long time, and then raised his hand emotionally and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is so wise and righteous. It is a blessing for the whole country. I am ashamed of you for making the famous generals in the court disappear and putting the prince in danger. Bless the ancestors, the prince will definitely do it on this trip." If you look at everything, you will definitely win this battle!"

Emperor Tiangan nodded: "Xie Qing's words are very true. However, although the crown prince is bold and fearless, after all, he has just entered the battlefield, and the generals Xie Qing must give me a good staff."

The resumes of the generals who can be called famous in the court have long been in front of the imperial court. Speaking of King Zhenbei's serious illness, the pair of monarchs and ministers have selected candidates several times, and they generally know what they have chosen.

It's just that this is a big matter, now the ability of a general is not only related to success or failure, but also to Xiao Hong's life, which makes the emperor more cautious.

Old Xie Ge took the order and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Also, what does Xie Qing think about ordering Song Zhicheng to command the west of the lake and the east of the lake as the governor of the two lakes?"

As soon as the emperor issued this order, Mr. Xie Ge suddenly understood in his heart, and praised: "It is very good that the emperor has shown his kindness to the prince."

Emperor Tiangan sighed: "I regret that I chose a concubine for him back then. So many ugliness happened, which delayed him forever, otherwise I would have a future by now."

If Xiao Hong had given him a marriage three years ago, and if he got married in the new year, if everything went well, he would indeed have the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Elder Xie Ge comforted: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is blessed with good fortune, and future generations will be blessed. Please rest assured."

He Xichao couldn't help crying when he received the news from Mr. Xie Ge.

It was Song Qian!

"Xi Chao, you said that Father is too careless, right? This girl even had a blind date with you. Turn around and tell me, aren't you afraid that we will turn against each other?"

Xiao Hong came back from practicing boxing and kicking outside, and was sweating all over his body at the moment. In this cold day, he was wearing a not-so-thick clothes, which made He Xichao, who was almost wrapped into a ball, feel even colder when he saw it.

"That happened so many years ago, what does it matter? Besides, Ding Xingwang is a member of Duke Liang's mansion, his descendants are promising, and his family style is also upright. If Song Qian was not too young to be considered by your princess, she would not be able to do so." I, Liang Guogong, have a more vicious vision than my grandfather. Now three years have passed, and you have not yet engaged, but Song Qian has also reached the marriageable age, isn't it just right?"

He Xichao's tone of voice could not help revealing a trace of resentment, Xiao Hong is a sweet bun now, as long as he thinks, he can choose any woman, and if he makes up a 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces, the emperor will probably agree.

He looked at Xiao Hong who was slowly wiping away his sweat, and urged angrily, "Hurry up and take a bath and change clothes, what are you talking about, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

The sky outside is gloomy, and today is the morning court.

Xiao Hong strolled over, put his fiery palms on He Xichao's cool face, and said, "I'm not cold, it's just why you got up so early, the morning is the coldest, be good, go back to bed, and sleep again." Sleep."

Xiao Hong covered He Xichao's face, then touched his hand: "We are not that particular, and we don't need you to send it to court. If you get sick from the cold, I will die of heartache."

He Xichao raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said unhappily: "I'm happy, can't I?"

"Ah, my ancestor, you can do whatever you say, so it's okay to have a stove, right?" Xiao Xuanzi was holding one in his hand, and hurriedly sent it over, Xiao Hong stuffed it into He Xichao's hand.

He smiled and said, "I found out that after talking about it that day, Xi Chao, you are getting better and better to me, and you are more considerate." He rolled his eyes and rubbed his hands, "Since you insist on getting up early with me, why don't No... let's just sleep together, lest you have to go around two doors."

Why is this man's heart so big?

He Xichao didn't know what to say, but with a smile on his face, he pushed Xiao Hong into the bathroom, "I'm poor, hurry up and take a bath, there's not much time, this place is not close to the palace, so I have to go early."

"Is that okay? It's so cold at night. I'll use it as a stove to warm you up." Xiao Hong asked unwillingly.

He Xichao bent down and faced Xiao Hong's face: "Have you heard a word?"

"what?"

"The spring night is short and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early from now on."

Xiao Hong's face turned red immediately, and in the dense water vapor, he swore to the sky: "Xi Chao, don't worry, I will definitely restrain myself, you are still young, I will not mess around!"

However, under He Xichao's skeptical gaze, he turned his eyes away again, and changed his words: "Then kissing and hugging is always okay, no... If you don't make it to the end, that's it..."

At the end, he looked at He Xichao expectantly: "Are you okay?"

He Xichao thought for a while, then lay on the edge of the bathtub, facing Xiao Hong, still shook his head.

"Why?" Xiao Hong asked unwillingly, "If you don't let me, I will be obedient. Really, do you think when I opposed you?"

"Well, I believe you."

Xiao Hong's eyes lit up immediately, and He Xichao reached out to touch his face, kissed the corner of his lips, and said in a low voice, "But I don't believe in myself!"

The author has something to say: He Xichao: It's not that I'm conservative, but with my cousin's body, if he's not too young now, he would be overthrown in minutes, believe it or not?
