The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

At noon, after school, Zhao Yao invited the Eighth Prince to go to Lanyuan Pavilion for lunch, but the Eighth Prince refused.

"Brother, the ministers of Lanyuan Pavilion will bring delicious food from their hometown, it's really delicious, go and try it."

The eighth prince understood that Zhao Yao wanted him to eat delicious food, but he was not interested.Even if he was interested, he would not go to Lanyuan Pavilion.In addition to the fourth prince he hated, there were also ministers he hated.

He knew in his heart that the ministers in the court looked down on him, the eighth prince, and he would only embarrass himself when he went to Lanyuan Pavilion.

"I won't go, you go by yourself."

"Brother..."

"You also know that I don't have any requirements for food. It doesn't matter to me whether the food is good or not." The Eighth Prince patted Zhao Yao's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Go and eat."

Zhao Yao looked at the Eighth Prince with an expression of hating iron but not steel: "Brother, tell me how many delicacies you missed."

The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "I don't care."

Zhao Yao shook his head and sighed, "What's the meaning of life without delicious food?"

The Eighth Prince patted the back of Zhao Yao's head amusedly: "Go and eat your delicious food."

"Then I'm leaving, starling." Zhao Yao waved at the Eighth Prince, and immediately left Wende Hall in a gust of wind.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Wende Hall, he saw an acquaintance, Ding Luo who was still in command.

When Ding Luo saw Zhao Yao, he hurriedly bowed to him: "I have seen His Highness Ten."

Seeing Ding Luo, Zhao Yao hurriedly asked, "Is the paper made?"

"It's done." Ding Luo said excitedly, "I added bamboo, mulberry bark, rattan bark and other materials as you said. It's much tougher and stronger." He said, and hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, look."

Zhao Yao took the paper and looked at it carefully, and it was indeed much whiter than the current paper.He gently pulled the paper with both hands, but it didn't break.The paper they are using now will break apart with a little force.

He also found veins on the paper, albeit faintly.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

"It's much better than the paper we use now, but it's still not good enough." Zhao Yao said, "I think you can do better."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"I suggest that you use the materials I told you to make repeatedly, or you can add some materials yourself." Zhao Yao seriously suggested, "I think you can try other bark and leaves. , or other grass, the paper might be better."

Ding Luo thought Zhao Yao's proposal was very good.He nodded hurriedly and said: "The servant will listen to you, try one by one."

"By the way, aren't there many kinds of bamboo?" Zhao Yao suggested, "You can try every kind of bamboo."

When Ding Luo heard this, his eyes lit up: "Yes, Your Highness."

"I think the paper made from each type of bamboo must be different." Zhao Yao said, "The bark and grass must be the same. If it is straw, it must be good or bad. You should open your mind."

"Open your mind?" Ding Luo asked blankly, "Your Highness, what does this mean?"

"Just use your imagination." Zhao Yao pointed to his head, "Don't limit your eyes to what you see in front of you, you can think about other things."

Ding Luo looked taught, and immediately saluted Zhao Yao solemnly.

"Thank you, servant, for your guidance."

Zhao Yao quickly helped Ding Luo up, and said with a smile: "I'm just making a suggestion, and you are the one who does it."

"If it wasn't for His Highness's suggestion, this servant would never have thought of these things." Ding Luo felt a little impatient after hearing Zhao Yao's words, "Your Highness, this servant will return to Shangfang Ling."

"Wait, how many papers did you make?" Zhao Yao asked, "Did you fail to make a lot of papers?"

"Your Highness, you are right. The slaves made a lot of failed papers." Ding Luo said with a face of shame, "This is the pile of newly made papers, with fifty sheets."

"Don't throw away the failed paper, it's still usable, you can send it directly to Lanyuan Pavilion later." Zhao Yao said, "As for making fifty new papers, you can ask Eunuch Han to send them to the Imperial Study Room. "

Ding Luo was shocked: "Send it to the imperial study?"

"Shouldn't you send the new paper you made to my father?"

"But, this is not the best new paper." After hearing Zhao Yao's words just now, Ding Luo felt that the new paper he made was not good enough.How can such paper be given to the emperor.

"Isn't the new paper much better than the current paper, first send these new papers to the father for use." Zhao Yao blinked at Ding Luo, "The father will definitely reward you, don't you want a reward?"

Ding Luo didn't expect that Zhao Yao wanted him to get a reward from the emperor, his heart was full of gratitude, and his eyes were slightly red.

"Your Highness, you taught this servant, how could this servant run to receive the reward?"

"But, you did it. This is the reward you should get." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Hurry up to receive the reward, and then you have to thank the other people who helped you."

"Yes, Your Highness." Ding Luo's eyes were slightly wet, and he saluted Zhao Yao again, and left Wende Hall immediately.

This scene was watched by the Eighth Prince and Yu Hai.

The eighth prince heard Zhao Yao talk about improving paper before, but he didn't expect it to be a success.

"Your Highness, His Highness the Tenth Highness..." Yu Hai couldn't understand why Zhao Yao gave this credit to the person who Shang Fangling, it was obviously the person who taught Shang Fangling to do it by the Tenth Highness. "The Tenth Highness actually gave up such a great achievement to someone else." Isn't the Tenth Highness stupid?

"The person who upholds the order dare not hide it from the father, he will truthfully tell the father that the person who taught him to make new paper is the tenth brother." The eighth prince chuckled, "This credit is still the tenth brother. of."

"Why doesn't His Royal Highness go to see the emperor himself?"

"Because the tenth brother felt that he was just making suggestions, and the one who actually made the new paper was Shang Fangling." The eighth prince smiled helplessly and dotingly, "The tenth brother is still a child."

Hearing what the Eighth Prince said, Yu Hai finally understood why Zhao Yao didn't take credit for it himself.

"His Highness Ten is really naive."

"The tenth brother is only a six-year-old child." The eighth prince said, and smiled again, "I didn't expect that the tenth brother would actually get a new paper."

"Your Highness, the Tenth Highness is actually very smart. You see, he asked Shang Fangling to make new paper." Yu Hai said, "The Tenth Highness even made stirrups before, and the Tenth Highness can come out fresh and delicious every time. Something. His Highness Tenth Highness is not smart in reading, but he is very smart in other aspects."

"The tenth brother is still young. It's normal for him to be unable to calm down and study. When he grows up to a few years old, he will be able to calm down and study, and then his reading will naturally improve." The eighth prince's eyes are full of doting, "He is still It's too small to be playful."

"It really is."

"I look forward to the tenth brother making better new paper."

When Ding Luo returned to Shang Fangling, he told Eunuch Han what Zhao Yao had said to him.Of course, Eunuch Han would not object, he took Ding Luo to see the emperor without saying a word, holding the new paper he had just made.

Zhao Yao has already arrived at Lanyuan Pavilion, and told the fourth prince loudly that the new paper has been made.

"Fourth brother, look, isn't the new paper made by Shang Fangling very good?"

The fourth prince was also very surprised: "It's really done."

"Of course, do you think the new paper is much better than the paper we use now?"

"It's much better." The fourth prince said with a smile, "It has become a lot whiter, firmer, and smoother."

"It can be done better. I asked Ding Luo to try every kind of bamboo. Maybe those good bamboos can make better paper." Zhao Yao said to the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, you write Try a word."

"Okay." The fourth prince picked up a pen and wrote the word "Yao" on the new paper.

The fourth prince's is very good-looking, and very majestic, but if you look closely at his handwriting, it has restrained its sharpness, just like his person.

Zhao Yao picked up the paper on which the fourth prince wrote the word "Yao", and found that the back was soaked with ink, but not a lot, at least not as exaggerated as the paper used now.

The paper used today is very thin and fragile.Every time I write, if I don’t control the ink well, the ink will definitely penetrate and wet the back, and even get ink on the table.

"There is still a lot of ink seeping."

The fourth prince took the paper from Zhao Yao's hand, looked at it and said, "It's much better than the paper we use now."

"It needs to be improved, but as you said, fourth brother, it is much better than the paper we use now."

The fourth prince reached out and rubbed Zhao Yao's little head, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Tenth brother, you have done another great deed."

"Fourth brother, I just made some suggestions. It is the craftsmen of Shang Fangling who make the new paper..."

Before Zhao Yao finished speaking, Sun Kui came to him.

"Your Majesty, the emperor called you over."

"Ah?" Zhao Yao pouted and said, "Why is Father looking for me?"

The fourth prince said warmly: "Father must have called you for the new paper, so go with Eunuch Sun."

"But I haven't had my lunch yet..."

Sun Kui interrupted Zhao Yao and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor is waiting, so hurry up and go with your servant."

The fourth prince said: "I'll save your lunch for you."

"But, I still want to exchange food with Zheng Zhengshi..."

"I'll ask Wei Mian to exchange for you." The fourth prince patted Zhao Yao on the back, "Don't keep father waiting for a long time, hurry up and go with Eunuch Sun."

"I see." Zhao Yao reluctantly left with Sun Kui.

Seeing Zhao Yao's unhappy appearance, Sun Kui smiled helplessly in his heart and said: When others learn that they are summoned by the emperor, they will definitely be impatient, happy, or fearful to go to the imperial study.Only the Tenth Highness looked reluctant.For His Royal Highness, going to see the emperor is not as important as having lunch.

Zhao Yao followed Sun Kui to the imperial study, and sure enough, he saw Eunuch Han and Ding Luo.

"I have seen my father."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand towards Zhao Yao, and his tone was rare and gentle: "Get up." Then, he raised the new paper in his hand and asked Zhao Yao, "Is this the new paper you asked Shang Fangling to make?"

"I just made some suggestions to ask Ding Luo and the others to replace the papermaking materials with bamboo, straw or rattan." Zhao Yao said honestly.

"Brat, how did you come up with the idea of ​​making paper out of bamboo and straw?"

"Father, you can think that I am just a whim."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his left eyebrow lightly: "A sudden whim?"

"Yes, I thought that the paper used now is made of bark, rags and old fishing nets, so why can't it be made of other things?" Zhao Yao said, "For example, use good bark, rattan Leather, hemp skin, and bamboo can also be used, but bamboo can also be used to make cloth, and the cloth is so strong, why can’t it be used to make paper.”

"Tree bark can be used to make paper, so why can't straw be made? If you don't try it, you will know it won't work," Zhao Yao said, "Actually, you can also try it with other things. Anyway, as long as it is trees and plants, it will work. , might be successful.”

Emperor Wu of Zhou and Sun Kui were stunned when they heard it. They didn't expect Zhao Yao to think of it like this.

Sun Kui exclaimed in his heart: His Highness the Tenth Highness is really smart.

"Anyway, try everything and you won't die, why not try it."

Emperor Wu of Zhou laughed loudly and said: "Hahahahaha, he is indeed my son, he is smart."

Hearing this, Zhao Yao complained in his heart: The stinky father is actually praising himself, he is really shameless.

"Stinky boy, what do you want?"

Zhao Yao looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou in astonishment: "Father, do you want to reward me?"

"Yes, I will give you whatever you want?"

After Zhao Yao heard this, not only was he not grateful, but on the contrary he looked wary.

"Father, what do you want to do?" The stinky father must have no good intentions when he suddenly wanted to reward him.

Emperor Wu of Zhou laughed angrily at his younger son's vigilance: "Why, I can't reward you anymore?"

Sun Kui, who was standing by the side, complained silently in his heart: Your Majesty, who made you bully His Highness the Tenth Highness often, and now the Tenth Highness is full of guard against you.You clearly wanted to reward the Tenth Highness, but the Tenth Highness misunderstood that you had no good intentions.

In the heart of His Highness the Tenth Highness, you really are... bad.

"Can I not?" Zhao Yao felt more and more that Emperor Wu of Zhou had no intentions.

Emperor Wu of Zhou did not expect his youngest son to dislike his reward so much, and his face turned blue with anger.

"Brat, how dare you not want my reward!"

Eunuch Han and Ding Luo were stunned and couldn't believe that Zhao Yao rejected the emperor's reward.

Zhao Yao looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou, puffed his face and muttered, "Who knows what bad idea you're planning."

"What did you say?" Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't hear Zhao Yao's words clearly.

"I don't want it!" Zhao Yao suddenly said loudly, "You don't want to reward me!"

Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up angrily, then walked in front of Zhao Yao, hugged him into his arms, and pinched his chubby face vigorously.

"Stinky boy, you are so courageous, how dare you refuse my reward."

Zhao Yao said with great backbone: "If you don't want it, you don't want it..." Before he finished speaking, Emperor Zhou Wu pulled his small mouth forcefully.

"You don't want it, I want to give it to you!" Emperor Wu of Zhou ravaged his youngest son's face into various strange shapes, "I'm so mad at you!"

Seeing Zhou Wudi's childish actions, Sun Kui complained in his heart: Actually, the emperor is more like a child.

"There is no one like you, I said no, you actually forced it to me." Zhao Yao's small face hurt from being rubbed, and he stretched out his hand to grab Emperor Zhou Wu's face angrily.

"If I give it to you, you must keep it. Don't take it away, or I will spank your ass." Emperor Wu of Zhou threatened, then lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite his youngest son's face.

The brat's face was flushed like an apple, so he couldn't help but take a bite.

Zhao Yao's small face was bitten by Emperor Wu of Zhou with a tooth mark, and he was so angry that he grabbed Emperor Wu's hand and bit it hard.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was bitten and hurt, he reached out his hand to pinch his youngest son's mouth, and cursed: "Stinky boy, are you a puppy?"

"You were the one who bit me first." The stinky father is the dog!
"What's wrong with me just biting you." After speaking, Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head and bit Zhao Yao's cute little face again.
