The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

At noon, after school, Zhao Yao was stopped by Mr. Xiao, and then followed Mr. Xiao to his office.

Mr. Xiao gave Zhao Yao a stack of books, which were neatly wrapped with a piece of clean cloth.

"Your Highness, this is a birthday present from my minister."

Looking at the pile of books in front of him, Zhao Yao frowned slightly: "Mr. Xiao, what are these books?" Although he started to read seriously now, it doesn't mean that he likes reading very much now.

"These books are "The Analects", "Mencius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "University", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", etc." Mr. Xiao patted the stack of books with his right hand, smiling Said, "I have marked these books, Your Highness, you can take a good look at them."

Hearing what Mr. Xiao said, Zhao Yao's heart trembled, and he immediately saluted Mr. Xiao solemnly: "Mr. Xie."

Mr. Xiao stretched out his hand to support Zhao Yao, and said with a kind smile, "Your Highness, it's fine if you don't dislike him."

"Sir, the book you annotate yourself is hard to find in the world. How could I dislike it." Mr. Xiao's annotations are very popular. I heard that the fourth brother said before that it seems that scholars and scholars highly respect Mr. Xiao's annotations. "It's just that I think it's a waste for you to send me the book you annotated."

"Your Highness, how can you say such a thing." Mr. Xiao disapproved of Zhao Yao's talking about himself. "With His Highness's intelligence, he must be able to understand my comment. If Your Highness has anything you don't understand, you can come to me at any time."

"Sir, can I print the books you gave me and send them to others?" Zhao Yao asked.

"Of course." Mr. Xiao is not like other gentlemen who regard his annotations as treasures and hide them from others.

"Mr. Xie." Zhao Yao felt that Dingyuan needed Mr. Xiao's annotated books more than him. "Sir, when you are resting, you can go to the villa in Dahua Village. It is a good place to rest. You can also go and see how those students are studying, and you can also get together with your friends."

"The minister is planning on this."

"Sir, have you ever thought about compiling a dictionary?" Zhao Yao only recently discovered that there was no such thing as a dictionary in the previous dynasty.

Mr. Xiao heard the word "dictionary" for the first time, and asked curiously and perplexedly: "Your Highness, what is a dictionary?"

Zhao Yao explained: "A dictionary is a reference book for looking up characters or words. For example, Zhao, when looking up a dictionary, first explained that Zhao is the name of an ancient country..."

After listening to Zhao Yao's words, Mr. Xiao's eyes were full of shock, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He said in a very excited tone: "Your Highness, the dictionary you mentioned is really... a great book."

"I think it would be very convenient if there is a dictionary that can look up all the words, so that you can look up and read the words you don't understand at any time without asking others." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Sir, the dictionary is A reference book, it's different from other books."

"A reference book?" Mr. Xiao said happily, "The word reference book is very appropriate."

"Sir, I think you could compile a great Zhou dictionary."

Mr. Xiao's heart became hot when Zhao Yao said it.He has written many articles and poems in his life, and he is also very respected, but he is not satisfied with this.He always hoped that he could publish a book that would benefit students.Now His Royal Highness's suggestion of compiling a dictionary is exactly what he wants.

"Your Highness values ​​the minister so much, the minister must do his best to compile it."

"Sir, I think you can add some explanations when compiling the dictionary, such as the origin of the word Zhao, and you can also use the word Zhao to create words and sentences..." Zhao Yao said "Zhao" to Mr. Xiao in detail How to make words, how to make sentences, how to use this word, etc. "By the way, you can also write idioms about Zhao in it."

Mr. Xiao listened very seriously, and his eyes lighted up.

"Your Highness is a great talent." After finishing speaking, he solemnly saluted Zhao Yao, "I thank Your Highness on behalf of all the students in the world."

"I'm just making a suggestion. It's up to Mr. to compile a dictionary. At that time, the students in the world should thank you." When it comes to idioms, Zhao Yao thinks of idioms dictionaries again, "Mr. The idioms are included in a dictionary, which is very convenient to look up idioms, what do you think?"

Mr. Xiao looked at Zhao Yao in astonishment, and immediately said in a tone of admiration: "Your Highness, you are really a great talent!"

"I'm just making suggestions, and I didn't write them, so I'm not a great talent." Zhao Yao said modestly, "Dictionaries and idiom dictionaries have to be compiled by Mr."

Mr. Xiao was heartbroken.He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Your Highness trusts me so much, I will definitely compile a dictionary and a dictionary of idioms."

"Sir, compiling dictionaries and idiom dictionaries is a very complicated and cumbersome matter. You can't do it alone. I suggest you report this matter to the emperor and let the emperor agree with you to compile it. Then you can choose it." Your trustworthy people will compile it together with you." Zhao Yao thought to himself, he can't get out the imperial examinations for the time being, but he can get out dictionaries and idiom dictionaries, which will benefit the common people.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will write a memorial to ask the emperor to agree." This is a great thing to benefit the world, and it can benefit people in future generations.Although he doesn't care whether he can be famous in history.However, when the dictionary and idiom dictionary are compiled, he will definitely be famous in history.

"I believe that sir, you can write a good dictionary and idiom dictionary." Zhao Yao felt that it was most appropriate for Mr. Xiao to do this kind of thing.

"I will definitely live up to your Highness's expectations." Mr. Xiao now admires Zhao Yao more and more.

"By the way, sir, don't you know people from Sifangguan? You can also suggest that they compile a foreign language dictionary, so that more people can easily learn from foreigners, and it will also make it easier for people to look up the meaning of foreign languages." Sifangguan is a translation hall. , the officials inside specialize in translating foreign languages, such as Xiongnu, Wusun, Dawan, Annan, etc.

The establishment of Sifang Pavilion was also proposed by Zhao Yao at the beginning. [Sifang Pavilion] was also named by him.And he took it according to the Sifang Pavilion in the history of Zhao Yao's world in the dream.

Mr. Xiao didn't think of this aspect. Hearing what Zhao Yao said now, he felt that a foreign language dictionary was really needed.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm sure the people in Sifang Pavilion will tell you."

"Sir, then I'll go back to have lunch, so I won't bother you."

"Slow down, Your Highness."

After sending Zhao Yao away, Mr. Xiao exclaimed in his heart: Your Highness is truly a peerless talent.Even the great Confucianists of today would not have thought of compiling dictionaries and idiom dictionaries to benefit the world and future generations, but His Highness thought of these at a young age.

Mr. Xiao was very excited.He didn't care about lunch and hurriedly wrote a memorial.After finishing writing, he immediately sent it to the imperial study.

The emperor knew Mr. Xiao's temperament, so he would go to the Three Treasure Hall for everything.If there is nothing important, Mr. Xiao will definitely not write a memorial to find him.

He didn't let Mr. Xiao leave, but asked him to wait for a while.

After reading the memorial, the emperor looked very shocked: "It was Xiao Shi who suggested that you compile a dictionary and a dictionary of idioms?"

"Yes, His Majesty the Tenth Highness just told me about it." Mr. Xiao himself never thought of compiling a dictionary and a dictionary of idioms.He felt that he should not hide it from the emperor, so he told the truth.

The emperor raised the corners of his mouth and laughed loudly: "Okay, he is indeed my son." This brat Xiao Shi really surprised him time and time again. "I agree with the compilation of dictionaries and idiom dictionaries. Mr. Xiao, you are fully responsible for this matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You decide how many people you need to help you and who you need." The emperor said with a smile, "After you choose someone, tell me directly, and I will send them to help you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mr. Xiao thought of the foreign language dictionary Zhao Yao mentioned, and brought this matter up to the Emperor.

The emperor felt that compiling a foreign language dictionary was also a good thing, and agreed.

"Zhenhui ordered the Sifang Pavilion to compile foreign language dictionaries." Where did Xiao Shi come from with so many wonderful ideas.

Seeing that the emperor still had something to do, Mr. Xiao withdrew after talking about it.

After Mr. Xiao left, the emperor scolded with a smile: "Xiao Shi, you bastard, he actually told Mr. Xiao about such a big matter, not me."

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that His Highness is afraid of you, so he dare not tell you." Sun Kui exclaimed in his heart, how did His Highness's little head, Guazi, come up with such a big thing as compiling a dictionary and a dictionary of idioms.His Majesty the Tenth Prince is really... The word "smart" is not enough to describe His Majesty the Tenth Prince, and the word "wisdom" should be used to describe him best.

"What is he afraid of me, and I won't eat him." The emperor felt a little jealous.Xiao Shi, a stinky boy, would tell others first every time he did something, and not his father.And his father only knew what he had done from others.

"You often bully him."

"I was teasing him." The emperor felt that his old father's heart was hurt, "I have to teach this brat a lesson."

"Your Majesty, are you going to call for His Majesty the Tenth Highness?"

"Forget it, I'm busy now, and I don't have time to teach him a lesson. When I have time, I will teach him a lesson again." After the emperor finished speaking, he continued to review the memorial.After reviewing for a while, he laughed again, "Where does Xiao Shi, a brat, come up with so many earth-shattering ideas?"

Your majesty, is it wrong to describe it as earth-shattering?

Sun Kui didn't dare to correct the emperor's words.He flattered and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Tenth Highness is extremely intelligent. His ideas are not thought up by ordinary people, just like the stirrups and movable type printing before."

The emperor said proudly: "The old Taoist is right, Xiao Shi is born to benefit Da Zhou."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Tenth Highness is most like you." Sun Kui was a good flatterer.

"I was not as smart as this brat when I was young." Ever since the emperor heard the words of Bai He Guan, the old fairy, his thoughts have changed.He originally wanted Xiao Ten to live freely, but for the sake of Da Zhou and the common people, he couldn't let Xiao Ten do what he wanted to do.

Sun Kui continued to flatter and said, "Isn't this your birth, Your Majesty?"

"Xiao Shi, you bastard..." the emperor didn't continue after speaking, he smiled and shook his head again, his face was full of pride and pampering.

"Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday, have you not forgotten it?" Seeing that the emperor had not mentioned Zhao Yao's birthday gift these days, Sun Kui felt that the emperor had probably forgotten it, and after thinking about it, he decided to remind the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyes and glared at Sun Kui: "Do you think I will forget my precious son's birthday?"

Dear son?

Your Majesty, you have finally admitted that His Highness the Tenth Highness is your precious son.

"The servant is talking too much." Sun Kui raised his hand and slapped himself lightly, "Your Majesty, what gift are you going to give His Highness the Tenth Highness? Isn't it another book? If you give the Tenth Highness another pile of books, the Tenth Highness is really will hate you."

"Is there anything I want to tell you?"

"Slaves deserve to die."

"Hmph." The emperor snorted coldly, he was too lazy to talk to Sun Kui, and continued to read his memorial.

Sun Kui looked at the emperor and was very curious about what birthday gift the emperor would give Zhao Yao.

Before, the emperor even gave the jade pendant to His Royal Highness as if nothing had happened.

This time, what "shocking" gift will the emperor give His Royal Highness?

The emperor happened to see the memorial sent from Lingnan, and his brows frowned suddenly, his expression became a little cold.

When Sun Kui saw this, his heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head to lower his sense of existence.

The emperor looked at it for a while, his face full of thought, and immediately picked up a cinnabar pen to write something on this memorial.

"Sun Kui."

Hearing the emperor suddenly call him by name and surname, Sun Kui's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously showed a look of panic and uneasiness.He responded tremblingly, "The servant is here."

On weekdays, the emperor called Sun Kui "grandson" and rarely called him by his first name.Every time the emperor called Sun Kui's full name seriously, it was not a good thing.

"How many years has your apprentice Sun Doudou been by your side?"

When Sun Kui heard the emperor's question, his heart suddenly rose into his throat. Did that bastard Sun Doudou do something to let the emperor know?

"It will be about six years before I return to the emperor." Sun Doudou followed Sun Kui when he was ten years old, and now he has just come of age at 16 years old.

"What do you think of him?"

The question of the emperor seems a bit inexplicable to Sun Kui.He didn't understand why the emperor asked such a question.He could only answer cautiously: "If you go back to the emperor, Sun Doudou is smart and serious in doing things, but because he is too young, he is not prudent enough in doing things."

The emperor asked, "Did you raise him as your heir?"

Sun Kui couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so he said with horror on his face: "Your Majesty, the servants accepted him as a disciple because they saw that he had a predestined relationship with the servants, but they did not train him as the heir. Besides, the status of the servants is low. Dare to cultivate any heirs."

"I'm not asking for guilt, what are you afraid of." The emperor glanced at Sun Kui who was showing panic in disgust.

Hearing what the emperor said, Sun Kui's heart fell back to its original place in an instant.

"The servant girl thought that Sun Doudou had done something wrong and angered the emperor."

"I see that your apprentice is a little clever, but not as smart and stable as you."

Being praised by the emperor, Sun Kui couldn't help but smile happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

The emperor's expression suddenly became very serious: "Tell me the truth, if Sun Doudou stays with you for another ten years, can he learn five points of your skills?"

Sun Kui was a little nervous, but seeing the seriousness on the emperor's face, he didn't dare to hide it, so he could only tell the truth: "Your Majesty, this servant is not very capable, but Sun Doudou will be with this servant for another ten years, and this servant can make him more stable. "

"You serve me well, this is your skill."

Unexpectedly, being praised by the emperor again, Sun Kui was full of joy: "It is the emperor who does not dislike slaves."

What's wrong with the emperor, he suddenly praised him twice?

"Since Sun Doudou is your apprentice, then you should train him well. I don't ask him to be as capable as you, but at least five points." The emperor tapped the imperial table with his fingers, "The most important thing is that he must Be loyal, understand?"

At this moment, a flash of light flashed in Sun Kui's mind. He seemed to know what the emperor's inexplicable order meant, but he didn't seem to understand.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will definitely train Sun Doudou well." The Emperor will not order him to train Sun Doudou for no reason, the Emperor must have something to use Sun Doudou.

"In terms of training people, I still trust you." After the emperor finished speaking, he didn't say anything more.He looked down at the Lingnan memorial he had just reviewed, maybe he should prepare in advance.

The emperor took out a secret booklet with no content written, and immediately picked up a pen to write something on the secret booklet, and then he handed the written secret booklet to Sun Kui, and ordered: "Give it to Lao Yan." The old Yan mentioned by the emperor was Yan Huarong who was sent to guard the southern border a few years ago.

"Yes." Sun Kui stepped back with the secret folder, and immediately handed the secret folder to the ordinary-looking man in the guard uniform.

Originally, the emperor was reluctant to let his youngest son go to such a distant place when he grew up, but today, seeing Zhao Yao's proposal to compile a dictionary and a dictionary of idioms, the emperor once again understood the old fairy Baiheguan's sentence to let his youngest son go to a faraway place, he can do it. A lot of shocking things happened.

Alas, how should I tell Xiaoxiao?
If Xiaoxiao knew that I was going to send Xiao Shi so far in the future, she might not want to, and would resent me.

Xiao Shi is too smart, if he stays in the capital or near the capital, he will be unwilling to do anything to benefit the country and the people in order to protect himself.

Besides, leaving Xiao Ten in the capital or near the capital would only involve Xiao Ten in danger.When his father was alive, he could protect Xiao Shi, but if he was gone, who could protect Xiao Shi?

For the sake of Xiao Shi's safety and Da Zhou's future, Xiao Shi must be sent away to that distant place.

The emperor ordered again: "Go and call Lao Song and the others."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, Song Dekang and the others came to the imperial study.

Song Dekang asked respectfully: "Boss, do you have any orders for us?"

The emperor didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Didn't you all clamor to accompany Lao Yan before?"

When Song Dekang and the others heard this, they said with surprise, "Boss, I am willing to go to southern Xinjiang."

"Boss, I am most suitable to go to southern Xinjiang."

"Boss, I have a tacit understanding with Lao Yan, and it is most suitable for me to go to southern Xinjiang to accompany Lao Yan."

"Boss, I have been to the southern border to quell chaos, no one is more suitable than me."

Seeing the four of them scrambling to go to southern Xinjiang, the emperor just thought it was funny: "I didn't let you go, but you chose a son to go to Lingnan."

"Lingnan?" Chu Ying and the others showed astonishment, and then they exclaimed, "Boss, are you going to exile our son to Lingnan?" Lingnan has been a place of exile since ancient times, and there are all sinners there .Furthermore, Lingnan is remote and remote, and there is miasma, which is a very dangerous place.

The emperor glared at Shen Hu and the others, and immediately said angrily: "Your sons have done nothing wrong, why did I exile them to Lingnan?"

"But, boss, didn't you just say that you want our son to go to Lingnan?" Zhang Gong asked puzzled, "Isn't Lingnan the land of exile?"

"I want your son to go to Lingnan, not exile." The emperor said, "Your son will first go to southern Xinjiang to find Lao Yan, and then go to Lingnan. The ministers of the court will not know about this matter, they will think you My son is going to guard the southern border."

Song Dekang and the others still didn't understand, and asked in confusion, "Boss, what exactly do you want our son to do in Lingnan?"

But Chu Ying understood: "Boss, do you want our son to guard Lingnan?"

The emperor nodded slightly and said: "That's right, I only need two, you four discuss it, and then tell me who to send."

Chu Huan first said: "Your Majesty, let the minister's second son go. He has experience in fighting chaos over the years, and it is most suitable for him to guard Lingnan."

Shen Hu also understood the emperor's plan, and hurriedly followed Chu Huan's words: "Your Majesty, let the second son of my minister go to Lingnan as well. He also has experience."

Song Dekang and Zhang Gong still didn't react.Seeing that Chu Ying and Shen Hu had already made up their minds, the two of them did not interrupt.

"Then let your second son go, let them clean up, and go to Nanjiang to find Lao Yan in a few days, and then go to Lingnan." The emperor said meaningfully, "Let your second son recognize Xiao Shi as the master! "

Hearing the emperor's words, Chu Ying and Shen Hu were not surprised.However, Song Dekang and Zhang Gong looked surprised, they finally understood the purpose of the emperor's decree.

"Boss, you..."

The first update is here, and there will be two updates in the evening.

Emperor Wu of Zhou: My old father really broke his heart.

Zhao Yao: I don't know anything.
