Emperor Renzong of the Great Song Dynasty

In late autumn, everything falls apart.

Kou Zhun put down the scroll in his hand: "What's going on today that makes you so lively?"

The students who were whispering in the audience fell silent instantly.

Kou Zhun smiled: "From the beginning of class in the morning to now, you have never been at peace for a moment. Tell me what day it is today, and let me hear it. If it is a good day, let's take a day and a half off to have fun together. lively."

After all, he was a prime minister, and he was full of momentum without anger.Since he came to Tsingbei University to teach, he has devoted himself to teaching and educating people, and has won the respect and love of the students.

Therefore, as soon as these words came out, the students who had been whispering to each other before all sat upright in shame.

A student in green shirt sitting in the front row boldly said: "Sir, we are wrong."

Kou Zhun smiled and said: "Of course you are wrong. How can you not listen carefully to the teacher's lectures? Of course. I am more curious than listening to you admitting your mistakes. What is it that makes you restless? Even class I don't want to listen."

He is well-read and humorous, and has always been the most loved by students.In his classroom, there has never been a phenomenon where students are not willing to listen.

Therefore, he was also really curious about what it was that took the students' spirits away.

What is it that is more interesting than the class of his Lai Guogong Kou Zhun?

The student in the green shirt said: "Sir, I heard that the official family is coming to Qingbei University, and they are at Mr. Xia's side."

Although they have not attended Xia Yuqi's class, they have been classmates with Bai Yutang for more than two years, and they have all been admonished by this part-time martial artist.He naturally fears and respects his master Xia Yuqi.

The smile on Kou Zhun's face gradually faded.

"That's it," he said softly, "It turns out that the official family is here."

All the students in the room quietly lowered their heads, not daring to say a word, and a needle could be heard in the classroom.

They are not really nerds who don't know what's going on outside the window. They come to the capital for thousands of miles to study, all in order to find a future for themselves.For the Bianliang officialdom that is close at hand, I can't wait to spend a hundred thousand thoughts on pondering and paying attention, sharpen my head and find an opportunity to get an official.

What did Kou Zhun do in the past, and why did he fall overnight from the powerful prime minister Lai Guogong to a leisurely teacher in Qingbei University who taught Zuo Chuan? Even if they don’t know everything about the reason, they can guess Guess eight or nine is not far from ten.

It's nothing more than an official family... and then the Duke of Lai...

It was also because of this that although they did not dare to defend Kou Zhun - after all, they would also be courtiers to the emperor in the future - they also knew that it was best not to bring up the official family in front of Duke Lai.

This time the officials visited Tsingbei University in person, although they did not publicize it, they did not deliberately cover it up.

Anyway, most of the teachers and students knew that the emperor was coming, and the students and teachers who had no classes started to go to the shipyard, intending to get acquainted in front of the emperor, so that they could seize the opportunity in the future.

As for the teachers and students who had classes, they all beat their chests and stomped their feet, hating themselves for missing such a great opportunity to gain the emperor's favorability, and they didn't dare to really skip class to get close to the emperor.

If the emperor knows that he skipped class, and the favorability degree is not improved, leaving a bad impression on the emperor that he is lazy and lazy, then it will be a waste of money.

As for Kou Zhun——

Intentionally or not, no one told him the news that the emperor had come to Qingbei University.

After all, the grievances and enmity between the master and disciple Weng and son-in-law are not humane. Since the emperor did not summon Kou Zhun when he came to Qingbei University, he made it clear that he did not want to see him.

And does Kou Zhun just want to see the emperor?

The student in Qingshan thought to himself, I am afraid that Mr. Kou doesn't want to see the emperor anymore.

After all, the emperor once treated him like that...

"Since the official is here," Kou Zhun clapped his hands: "Let's stop today's class first, let's go, sir will take you to see the emperor."

The students in the hall were dumbfounded.

what?

Look... look at the emperor?

Why are you being so casual?

Kou Zhun smiled all over his face: "It's rare for the officials to come here once, and you are all in school. If you don't go to see it at this time, when will you wait to see it? I can tell you that when the gold list is named in the future, the emperor will also stand on the stage Inspecting you, you can’t even see the emperor’s face clearly. Before you become the permanent counselor who is summoned by the government every day, this is probably the only chance for you to see the emperor up close. Why don’t you get up quickly?”

All the students woke up like a dream, quickly packed up their pens, ink and books, and stood up.

Kou Zhun looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not bad, not bad."

At this time, there were only more than 20 people in the classroom, and they were all neatly dressed. It would not be considered disrespectful to drag them to see the emperor.

Kou Zhun was in high spirits: "Go, follow me. Is the emperor at Mr. Xia's place?"

The student in green shirt nodded quickly: "Yes, it's in Mr. Xia's yard."

Zhao Yiyi had just finished explaining to Jiang Ping about sending his friend to Shanxi to dig coal, when they heard the noise of people outside the hospital.

He frowned: "What's wrong?"

Liu En understood, took a look outside the gate of the courtyard, and came back with a face full of shock: "Officials, Duke Lai is here."

"Duke Lai?"

Zhao Yiyi was surprised: "What is he here for?"

It is true that Kou Zhun is teaching at Qingbei University, but he has also been to Qingbei University several times before, and Kou Zhun has never come to him on his own initiative.

Why did you come here today?

Could it be that Liu E really used some method to convey the news that he wanted Zhao Xu's succession out of the palace?

Zhao benefited thinking.

No... Liu En's methods are obvious to all.The current Fengchen Palace is not much different from a single iron bucket, and Liu E can't hide it from his eyes even if he sneezes.

So what did Kou Zhun come to him for?

Zhao Yiyi said: "Is Lai Guogong no class today?"

After Yan Shu got Kou Zhun, no matter whether it was public or private, he could not be asked to be a teacher at leisure.

The course must be scheduled from morning to night, and it is impossible to leave him with a quarter of an hour of leisure.

It's broad daylight now, why is Kou Zhun free to come to him?

Liu Endao: "There should be classes, so he brought all the students."

He pointed behind him: "Here, we'll be there soon."

Outside the gate of Xia Yuqi's courtyard, there were originally some teachers and students who wanted to pay their respects to the holy face.

However, this was in front of the imperial court after all, and they thought they were literati who cherished face, so they didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward.

Kou Zhun did not have such concerns as them, and led more than 20 students to the gate of the courtyard, and said to the small yellow gate guarding the door with a pleasant face: "Please trouble your father-in-law to pass the news on your behalf, and say that Kou Zhun brought the students to visit Holy."

That little yellow gate is also an acquaintance of Kou Zhun - before Duke Lai resigned, who was not an acquaintance with him?

So he agreed: "Duke Lai, please wait here."

Although Kou Zhun has resigned from office, he still bears the name of a prince, and his daughter is still a queen, and his grandson and granddaughter are already enshrined in their own kingdoms before they are three years old.Whoever neglected, I dare not neglect him.

Zhao Yiyi in the yard waved his hands helplessly: "All right, all right, just ask him to come in."

He hasn't seen Kou Zhun for a long time, so it's good to meet him.

After all, he was counting on him to live a long life and then become Zhao Xu's teacher.

After Kou Zhun entered the courtyard, he bowed to Zhao Yiyi and said, "I, Kou Zhun, have seen the officials."

Although he resigned from the official position, he is the Duke of the state after all, not a grassroots citizen.

Zhao Yiyi smiled and said, "Sir, please get up."

Kou Zhun is his political enemy, father-in-law, teacher, and defeated soldier, so he can call him whatever he wants.

But this is Tsingbei University after all, if you do as the Romans do, it's better to call him Mr.

Kou Zhun was not polite either, he straightened his back, turned around and said to the students who followed him to salute: "The officials told you to get up. Get up!"

The students also got up one after another.

Zhao Yiyi took the handkerchief from Liu En's hand and wiped his hands: "These are all the students that Mister accepts here? It seems that Mister is growing stronger and stronger than before."

Together with Xia Yuqi and Jiang Ping, he looked at the blueprints by the pool for a long time, and his hands inevitably got some water.

Kou Zhun said: "It's not bad, you're not considered a fool."

Zhao Yiyi said to the twenty or so people: "Hurry up and thank your husband for your compliment! You must know that your husband has a high vision, and even I was inevitably scolded back then."

The students looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to respond.

Kou Zhun said: "How can they compare with the officials? The officials shoulder the responsibility of the nine states and the world, so the minister's expectations for the officials are naturally higher. They will be nothing more than officials' officials in the future, and the minister will turn a blind eye to them." Only one eye."

Zhao Yiyi smiled: "I see."

He asked again, "Sir, what's the matter here today?"

Kou Zhun said: "There is nothing else. It's just that officials rarely go out of the palace, but this time they came to Mr. Xia's courtyard alone. I thought that there must be something in this courtyard that is of great use to the country. , that’s why the officials favored me, so I just wanted to open the eyes of these students.”

Zhao Yiyi glanced at him and reluctantly believed his nonsense.

"Since that's the case, let Senior Xia explain it to Mr.'s students."

Zhao Yiyi said to Xia Yuqi: "Nowadays self-propelled boats appear in the world, few people know its principle, and even ordinary people think it is a miracle. I heard that there are some people in the south who opened some kind of god boat temple to worship fornication. It's all because of ignorance. Mr.'s students will be the pillars of the country in the future, why don't seniors explain the principle of self-propelled boats to them, and they will definitely spread the word after they understand it, which is also the meaning of enlightening the people's wisdom and cutting off prostitution. What do seniors think?"

Xia Yuqi hurriedly said: "The grassroots obey the order."

He said to the twenty or so students: "Scholars, come here."

The students looked at Kou Zhun and saw him nodding, then followed Xia Yuqi into the room and listened to him explain the working principle of the machine in the room.

The students all entered the house, and Kou Zhun was the only one left in the yard.Zhao Yiyi leaned closer and asked him, "What wind brought the Duke of Lai here?"

He didn't believe that Kou Zhun came to see him just to open the eyes of the students.

Seeing his serious tone, Kou Zhun also said seriously: "What the hell are the officials and the empress dowager doing? I heard that the prince and princess had to be canonized earlier. That's all for the canonization of the prince, what is the canonization of the princess for? Waste of state money, nothing It's useless. Even if the official family wants to be a loving father, shouldn't they be more frugal and cherish the power of the people?"
