Yongle Lane.
At the Li Residence, the marriage proposal team was assembled early in the morning.
The leader was a middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties. She had heavy makeup on and her laughter was' mesmerizing '. Li Zexuan's eyes were red and he hurriedly returned to the West Courtyard.
"Eh, Xiao Xi, you're going too?"
Li Zexuan asked curiously when he bumped into Xiao Xi who was in a hurry.
"Yes, Young Master. Madam asked Xiao Xi to deliver something to Young Mistress."
Xiao Xi replied with a smile.
Li Zexuan laughed and joked, "Haha, little girl, you're calling her Young Mistress so soon? Xiao Xi, wait a moment. Help me deliver something to Yuxi too. "
"Yes, Young Master!"
Li Zexuan smiled and returned to his room. He spread out a piece of paper and began to write, "I'm willing to win the heart of my beloved. When your hair is white and you're past your prime, I'll still hold your hands and give you the gentleness of the world. Be good, Yuxi. Stay at home and wait for me to marry you! "
After he finished writing, he suddenly had an idea. He folded the letter into a paper crane and pressed it flat into an envelope. He sealed it and walked out.
"Young Master, you're going to deliver a letter to Young Mistress?"
Xiao He was carrying a bag and came to the entrance of the courtyard. She was probably going to follow the marriage proposal team to the Han Residence.
Li Zexuan passed the letter to Xiao Xi and said to Xiao He, "Little girl, don't peek on the way!"
Xiao Xi was the timid type while Xiao He was more lively. It was just that her chest was a little small. Ahem, what was he thinking.
Xiao He pouted and said, "Xiao He won't peek. Young Master must have written some mushy words of love to Young Mistress. Xiao He will die of jealousy if I read it!"
"You little brat!"
Li Zexuan's face turned black and he pretended to knock her head. Xiao He screamed and ran away with Xiao Xi.
…
Tai Chi Palace, Sweet Dew Hall.
This was where Li Er would read and deal with government affairs after the morning court.
At this moment, Li Zexuan was sitting at the top with a book in his hand. He frowned as he read, "Zhao Song, is this Li Zexuan's new mathematics? Why have I never seen these strange words before? "
Zhao Song stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed a new type of mathematics that Li Xiannan invented. It is said that this book was compiled by him personally. As for the strange words in the book, I don't understand them either. However, I'm sure that Your Highness, Prince of Wei, will be able to understand them. After Prince of Wei finished listening to the lecture yesterday, he even solved a very difficult question that Li Xiannan set!"
Li Er smiled happily. "Great! My Qingque is indeed talented and learns everything quickly! Haha! "
Zhao Song smiled and said, "It's all thanks to His Majesty's teachings!"
Li Er laughed heartily, accepting the flattery.
"Your Majesty, the male student from Li County left a question after class yesterday. He said that he wanted the students to figure out a way to measure the height of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in front of the Imperial College. He also said that the student with the best method would get two extra points in this month's exam."
Zhao Song saw that Li Er was very interested in the matter between Li Zexuan and Li Tai, so he continued.
Li Er was stunned and asked, "Monthly exam? What monthly exam? "
Zhao Song explained, "Your Majesty, this is the examination system that Li Xiannan set for the School of Mathematics. It is said that the School of Mathematics has a small exam every seven days, a mid-term exam every month, and a major exam every half a year.
The top student in the monthly exam will be treated to a meal at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant with Li Xiannan's personal funds. He can even bring his family along. The top five students in the monthly exam will have a roll of honor, while the bottom five will have a roll of shame. They will also be responsible for cleaning the teaching hall. The top student in the half-year exam will be rewarded with a hundred strings of cash. "
Li Er was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "This kid is really rich and overbearing. He is even more generous than I am and has a lot of ideas. The students in the Imperial College are going to have a headache. I hope that Li Zexuan can take the lead in guiding the culture of the Imperial College. In recent years, the Imperial College has become a gathering place for rich playboys. "
Zhao Song said respectfully, "Your Majesty is far-sighted and wise."
Li Er waved his hand and pondered for a moment, then said, "But this kid really knows how to make things difficult for others. The ginkgo tree at the entrance of the Imperial College is probably more than a hundred feet tall, right? How are the students going to measure it? Zhao Song, can you fly that high with your Lightness Ability? "
Zhao Song broke out in sweat and quickly said, "Your Majesty, this … this Great Grandmaster can't fly that high, right? That kind of height is not something that a human can achieve! "
Li Er rubbed his nose and knew that he was overthinking.
"Your Majesty, are you still reviewing the memorials? I have prepared iced sour plum soup for you to relieve the heat! "
At this moment, Zhangsun walked over elegantly with a bowl of sour plum soup.
Seeing this, Zhao Song quickly retreated to the side and became one with the pillars in the hall like an old monk in meditation.
"Haha, Guanyin, you have troubled yourself. In the future, let the servants do these things. You are not in good health and should not be overworked. Come and sit."
Li Er moved his seat and gestured for Zhangsun to sit over.
After Zhangsun sat down, she smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My body is not that weak. Your Majesty, please drink some sour plum soup to relieve the heat."
Li Er nodded and took the sour plum soup. He drank a few mouthfuls and exclaimed in satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, are you not done reviewing the memorials?"
Zhangsun looked at the stacked memorials on the table and could not help but feel sorry for him.
"Soon. Guanyin, please wait a moment. I will finish reviewing them soon and then accompany you to admire the flowers!"
Li Er finished the sour plum soup in a few mouthfuls and went back to work.
Moments later, Li Er looked at a memorial and muttered, "It's this kid again. But this time, he still has some conscience."
Zhangsun came over curiously and asked, "Your Majesty, who are you talking about?"
Li Er came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It's all because of that kid Li Zexuan. Kong Yingda wrote a memorial saying that Li Zexuan had created a type of blackboard and chalk that was extremely beneficial for teaching. Thus, he requested that I allocate a sum of money to the directorate to purchase a batch of blackboards and chalk."
Zhangsun was stunned. "This kid even earns money from you, Your Majesty?"
Li Er shook his head and said, "This time, this kid still has some conscience. Kong Yingda told him that the Imperial Court's finances are not good this year. Who knew that this kid would take the initiative to give in and only take the cost? How rare!"
Zhangsun smiled and said, "If that's the case, this kid is quite righteous. Your Majesty, why do you still seem a little unhappy?"
Li Er looked up and sighed. He said in a deep voice, "In the end, it's because the Imperial Court has no money. They actually let a kid take the initiative to give in."
Zhangsun saw Li Er's gloomy face and knew that he was thinking about the Turkic Khaganate South last year. The Tang Empire emptied Chang 'an's treasury to sign the Wei River Treaty.
She comforted him gently and said, "These two years have been hard for Your Majesty. It's a pity that I, as a woman, can't come out to share Your Majesty's burden."
Li Er put his arm around Zhangsun's waist and said with a smile, "Maid Guanyin has helped me a lot. Of course, these world affairs should be shouldered by me. The Turkic Khaganate is just a clown. When the Tang Empire reinvigorates, we will definitely hunt the grassland!"
Zhangsun leaned her head on Li Er's shoulder and suddenly thought of something. She looked up and said,
"Your Majesty, Li Zexuan said that his master predicted that there would be a locust plague next year. Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Li Er's lofty sentiments and lofty aspirations immediately vanished. He said with a solemn expression:
"Shu Bao personally vouched for this kid, and this kid said it with certainty. I have to believe him. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. I'm discussing this with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others. I think there will be a solution in a few days. "
Zhangsun wondered, "Your Majesty, why don't you directly adopt the kid's strategy of raising chickens?"
Li Er stroked Zhangsun's long hair and sighed, "That kid's method may only be able to take care of his family's farmers. What I want to take care of is the people in the world. The Imperial Court doesn't have the money to raise so many chickens. For this matter, there must be a detailed plan for the specific areas. "
Zhangsun nodded thoughtfully.
