I am the carpenter king

Chapter 511 Apprenticeship

Luo Sigong and Wei Chao, who walked out of the palace gate, glanced at each other, and both of them wanted to cry.This time it was self-defeating. Emperor Tianqi was very happy at first, but now the two of them put themselves in a dilemma.

"Master Luo, today's matter is wrong with our family, and our family shouldn't make trouble!" Wei Chao glanced at Luo Sigong, and said with a rather complicated expression, he didn't want to guard the spirit of the late emperor.

Shaking his head and interrupting Wei Chao's words, Luo Sigong lowered his head and said, "Eunuch Wei, now is not the time to talk about this. Whether it is the White Lotus Sect or the establishment of slavery is a tricky matter. Now you and I will work together in the future to tide over the difficulties together. Besides, I'm really worried about one thing, if it really happens as I expected, things may become even more troublesome."

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Chao knew what Luo Sigong meant, the expression on his face kept changing, and finally hesitatingly said: "Impossible?"

"Last time in Zunhua, Jiannu and the White Lotus Sect had already colluded, so it's not surprising to do it again now." Although Luo Sigong's tone was very gentle, there was deep worry in his eyes.

"Lord Luo, since the White Lotus Sect is here for the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus, can we do something with the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus? It is a good way to lure the snake out of the hole. Once we succeed, we will be able to wipe out all the members of the White Lotus Sect." Wei Chao looked at Luo Sigong said confidently.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Luo Sigong naturally wouldn't tell Wei Chao that Emperor Tianqi had an affair with the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus.Not to mention that the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus is very beautiful, and even if she was killed, she could not say that she had asked Emperor Tianqi to interrogate the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus.But Emperor Tianqi refused.

Seeing Wei Chao staring at him, Luo Sigong could only shake his head helplessly.He said teasingly in his tone: "Eunuch Wei, there are some things you don't understand, and that's a man's business!"

Wei Chao was taken aback for a moment, but soon his face revealed a look of shock, he looked at Luo Sigong in disbelief, until Luo Sigong nodded, Wei Chao was utterly horrified.Pointing at Luo Sigong, he said: "Lord Luo, what do you mean? There are thousands of women in the world, and you can get your hands on that white lotus saint? How dare you say it so loudly, you are not afraid that our family will go to the emperor." See you for a copy?" [

Looking at the excited Wei Chao, Luo Sigong blushed, stretched out his hand and gestured continuously, and said, "You, me! Eunuch Wei. You!"

"Lord Luo, our family always thought you were an upright gentleman, but you turned out to be such a lustful person, which really disappointed our family! Although our family is an eunuch, we are ashamed to be in the company of people like you!" Flicking his sleeves, he strode outside.

Luo Sigong stood there with a dazed expression.His face was blue and purple, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

After walking not far away, Wei Chao couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed loudly while covering his stomach.Pointing at Luo Sigong.I was out of breath laughing.It is not easy to deflate Luo Sigong, let alone such indisputable humiliation.

See Wei Chao behaved like this.How could Luo Sigong not know that he was being tricked, and strode towards Wei Chao.At this moment, a voice sounded from behind Wei Chao, saying: "You two, please stay, the emperor has a decree."

Luo Sigong hurriedly turned his head, it was none other than Wang Chengen who came.When both Luo Sigong and Wei Chao came in front of him, Wang Chengen said: "The emperor speaks!"

Wei Chao and Luo Sigong quickly knelt down on the ground, and said in a respectful tone: "Commander Jinyiwei, the governor of the Nubei East Factory, respectfully invite Shengan!"

After saluting to the north, Wang Cheng'en said respectfully: "Sheng Gong'an! The emperor asked Nubei to deliver the decree to the two, and do his best to handle the errands. Lord Luo, the emperor has approved the matter of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus. As for what to do, the emperor hopes The grown-ups can figure it out for themselves."

Luo Sigong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to issue such an imperial edict, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and quickly said: "I understand, I will definitely do my best to live up to the emperor's great trust."

Nodding his head, Wang Chengen stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and said with a smile: "You two, do a good job! The emperor is really angry, you two should take care of yourself!" After speaking, Wang Chengen turned around and walked towards the palace.

Wei Chao and Luo Sigong looked at each other, neither of them had the smile just now, and all of their faces were unprecedentedly serious.No one was talking, they turned around and walked outside together.

Inside the palace, Emperor Tianqi rubbed his swollen forehead, looked at Wang Chengen who came back to hand in the order, and said, "How is it? These two people didn't say anything, did they?"

"Doing business for the emperor is the duty of being a slave. Whether the road is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they are all the emperor's private possessions. They will naturally use their lives faithfully." Wang Chengen walked up to Emperor Tianqi respectfully, and said in a soft tone.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's leave them alone. I'm going to visit the Queen as soon as I drive to Kunning Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen agreed, and turned around to lead the way. [

Emperor Tianqi felt that the matter had come to an end, but he had completely forgotten about the Song brothers. If it wasn't for Xu Guangqi, God knows how long these two people would be imprisoned.

At this time, Xu Guangqi was sitting on the armchair in the north study, flipping some papers in his hands, which was the result of Song Yingxing's calculations.As the paper was flipped, Xu Guangqi's face became more and more excited, and finally he slapped the table, saying: "Which of the two of you made these?"

"It's me!" Song Yingxing didn't know why this kind old man suddenly lost his temper. It seemed that it was because of the things he wrote, so he quickly stood up and respectfully admitted.

"What a hero!" Xu Guangqi sized Song Yingxing up and down, with unconcealable joy on his face, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

Song Yingxing blushed suddenly. He was already 36 years old, and he couldn't afford to be called a young man, let alone a hero born a young man.Song Yingsheng on the side was also a little stunned. Is there anything special about the things written by his brother?

Seeming to see through Song Yingxing's thoughts, Xu Guangqi waved his hands and said, "Don't look at me like this, and don't underestimate yourself. This old man makes sense." He took out a book from the bookshelf, and pointed to the book "Elementary Arithmetic" on it. Said: "Although this book is an entry-level book, there are not many people in the world who can read and understand it."

Looking at Xu Guangqi with surprise on his face, Song Yingxing did not expect that this old man could tell what book he was reading at a glance.He also tried to look through other books, but he couldn't understand them at all, so he could only start with the simplest one.

Ignoring Song Yingxing's different gazes, Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "I really don't want to lose my talents, and I don't see that rough jade can't be polished. I wonder if you are willing to worship me as a teacher?"

Xu Guangqi has certain attainments in both mathematics and physics. He studied geometry with Matteo Ricci and translated "Elements of Geometry".At the same time, Xu Guangqi has profound attainments in agriculture, architecture, water conservancy and other subjects, and can be said to be a very remarkable person.Xu Guangqi can understand most of the textbooks compiled by Emperor Tianqi based on his own memory.If you don't understand something, you can study it slowly.Now only Xu Guangqi can enter this north study.

Now Song Yingxing was stunned again, looked back at Song Yingsheng, and said hesitantly: "Sir, I wonder if you want to teach me something here?" But his eyes were full of excitement, waiting for Xu Guangqi answer.

"Of course, this old man never talks empty words. Not only some old men here can teach you, but also some old men here can teach you." Xu Guangqi looked at Song Yingxing with a smile, it was rare to meet a good apprentice.Although Bi Maokang is also good, but Bi Maokang is only interested in firearms, and not much interested in other things.

Looking at Xu Guangqi in embarrassment, Song Yingxing's expression slowly returned to calm after a burst of excitement.Looking at Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing said seriously: "Please tell me your name, sir, and what you do for a living. Although Song Yingxing is eager to learn, but a gentleman does what he does and does not. Song Yingxing will not be a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of his life. Hasty apprenticeship."

Seeing Song Yingxing's resolute expression, Xu Guangqi was even more satisfied. He is smart, studious, and has good moral character. It seems that Song Yingxing can be his direct disciple.Xu Guangqi, who had a well-known legacy, was overjoyed, patted Song Yingxing on the shoulder and said, "Since I want to take you as my apprentice, I will definitely not hide anything!"

"Please enlighten me, sir!" Song Yingxing bowed rudely, waiting for Xu Guangqi to report his name.

"This old man is from Shanghai in Songjiang Prefecture. His surname is Xu and his name is Guangqi. His surname is Zixian. As for making a living, thanks to the emperor's perseverance, this old man is now an official of the Ministry of Industry, a scholar of Dongge University." Xu Guangqi looked at Song Yingxing with a smile, and made a very formal introduction Read myself again.

Before Xu Guangqi finished speaking, Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng were all stunned in place, and the expressions on their faces were extremely wonderful.Even though the two of them were beaten to death, the person in front of them was Xu Guangqi, a cabinet scholar.

Although Xu Guangqi's ranking in the cabinet is not high, it is because Xu Guangqi joined the cabinet late.But in terms of winning the trust of Emperor Tianqi, apart from Song Chengzong, the chief minister of the cabinet, Xu Guangqi must be counted.

After a long time, Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng finally came to their senses, quickly lifted their clothes and knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Student Song Yingxing, student Song Yingsheng, please see your lord!"

Reaching out to help Song Yingsheng up, Xu Guangqi looked at Song Yingxing who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and said, "Now are you willing to worship under the old man's family?"

"Thanks to my lord for not giving up, Song Yingxing can't wait for it!" With no worries in his heart, Song Yingxing would naturally not miss such an opportunity.

Smiling and nodding, Xu Guangqi, the old Captain Huai, said: "This old man has a successor!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m to read.)
