"Children are growing. Lack of sleep will seriously affect their physical and mental development," Yang Ling muttered to himself as he yawned. If he didn't have some self-awareness and knew his own identity, he would have raised a serious objection to this endlessly lecturing scholar Xie Qian in front of him.
Mr. Muzai was speaking excitedly, spittle flying. Zhu Houzhao and Yang Ling, who were sitting upright behind the table, stood shoulder to shoulder. Their faces were wooden, their eyes dull. They had been petrified for almost the entire morning.
But an hour ago, Yang Ling began to yawn. Starting from his first yawn, as if it was contagious, the two delinquent students began to yawn one after the other.
After the yawn, the tears that flowed out made his eyes moist. In Xie Qian's eyes, he thought that the Crown Prince and Yang had been moved by his exciting and lively lecture and so he spoke with more vigor.
Yang Ling yawned again in boredom and quietly twitched his lips. Not to mention the chicken that gets up first, this old pedant's lecture was really boring. He had heard that of Zhu Houzhao's three teachers, his lecture was the most boring, and it was true. The content was probably the standard teaching material of the imperial tutors from ancient times until now. He had lectured for a thousand years, and the sea had changed into mulberry fields, but what he lectured was still the same unchanging content.
It was not connected to reality, and it did not look to the future. As for the world? What a joke. In Scholar Xie's eyes, other than Ming Destiny, was there any world? What was even more hateful was that this scholar, relying on his ability as the top scholar of the college entrance examination, only talked about awkward content dug out from books, and they were all rare words. It was as if this was not enough to show his knowledge. Yang Ling touched his forehead with his hand and pretended to lower his head in deep thought. Using his palm as a cover, he began to slack off. He tilted his head to look at the antique shelf beside him. On the mahogany antique shelf were rows of rare treasures. Yang Ling's gaze stopped on a warm and translucent white jade gourd. It was a beautiful mutton-fat jade gourd. One look and he could tell it was worth a lot. The beautiful lines were like … like Young-niang's body.
The jade glowed, and the curves were smooth. Hehe, I'm usually fooled by Young-niang's knife-like shoulders and slender waist. I only think that her figure is petite and exquisite. But when she's lying on the bed with her hair covering half of her flushed face, those snow-white, narrow shoulders and slender waist make the two jade-like buttocks look exceptionally plump and round, forming an incomparably alluring contrast with her slender upper body.
The two curved jade-like thighs were soft and bouncy. Following his wild movements, they created a dazzling and enchanting white wave. In the midst of Young-niang's unbearable yet tenacious moans of resistance, the front part of his thighs were tender and smooth. It was incomparably fast and beautiful. It was truly captivating.
After going wild for a while, he hugged her light and naked body in his arms and sat on his lap. The two of them didn't speak and just quietly sat there with their faces pressed against each other. He listened to her breathing and felt her heartbeat. That kind of intimate feeling … I really love her to death.
One day, I have to find time to buy some dressing tables, mirrors, curtains, and blankets for Young-niang. I have to do my best to make Young-niang live happily. Such a good wife, I can't mistreat her. She's only a sixteen year old girl. In the modern era, she still has to rely on her parents to take care of her. Yet, she washes and cooks for me every day. Every day, she has to wake up at four in the morning to cook for me. Ai, in her eyes, she's the vine that's attached to me, but in my heart, she's the tree that I'm relying on.
Yang Ling was letting his imagination run wild when his clothes were suddenly pulled by Zhu Houzhao. Yang Ling was startled. Just as he raised his head, the table in front of him made a loud bang. Xie Qian heavily knocked the ruler on the table and then walked away with his hands behind his back. He coldly said, "What did Yang think I said?"
"Ah? Very wonderful, very wonderful. It's so enlightening and enlightening! "Yang Ling quivered and woke up from his sexual fantasies.
Zhu Houzhao, who was beside him, was secretly laughing at his misfortune. At the same time, his hands were nimbly forming the big hand seals under the table. One couldn't tell that he was very proficient in this. He performed the Diamond Seal, the Lion Seal, the Wisdom Fist Seal, the Sun Wheel Seal, and the Precious Vase Seal. His ten fingers were like a blooming lotus flower. His movements were practiced and fast, dazzling the eyes of others. He also whispered, "I pour, I pour, I pour, Precious Vase Seal, Two Benefits Become King Vajra Great Buddha Seal, Secret Three Depths Seal, No Two Nothing Different Great Joy Seal …"
Zhu Houzhao was happily pouring when Xie Qian suddenly said, "The Crown Prince's face is smiling. You must have comprehended something. Will the Crown Prince please explain?"
"Ah! Ah? What? " Zhu Houzhao slowly raised his head. His expression immediately became that of an idiot. He stared foolishly at Xie Qian. Yang Ling looked at him sympathetically. His heart was withered.
This child was really learning to the point of becoming stupid. Speaking of which, he was really pitiful. Modern students still had sports, music, and art to pass the time in class. But this child only had politics and language lessons every day.
Yang Ling coughed and wiped his forehead with his finger. Zhu Houzhao saw it from the corner of his eye and immediately understood. He said to Xie Qian with a bitter face, "Grand Scholar Xie, my head hurts a little. Aiyo, it's a dull pain. When I think about things, it hurts."
Yang Ling gave him a thumbs up from under the table. Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched and he also gave him a hand signal from under the table. Gu Daeyong, who had already been waiting to the side, jumped out when he heard this. Like a traitor with a box gun, he tiptoed and looked left and right. As if facing a great enemy, he screamed, "Does the Crown Prince have a headache? Quick! Someone come quickly. Go call the imperial physician. If you're late, I'll take your head! "
The young eunuch standing at the door ran away in a flash. Xie Qian blew his beard and stared. After a while, he could only shake his head and sigh. "Li Dongyang said yesterday that the Crown Prince went to the toilet eight times in one class. Today, I didn't see him go to the toilet in class and was secretly glad. I didn't think that his butt would be fine. Now there's something wrong with his head. Ai, the Crown Prince is so mischievous. What should I do?"
Xie Qian left the Crown Prince's Palace gloomily. Passing by him were three imperial physicians who were holding their robes and trotting, followed by a little medicine boy who was carrying a string of boxes and satchels.
Grand Scholar Xie stood in the palace thinking. The Crown Prince was the heir to the country. It was not a small matter that he was so playful and didn't study. He had been entrusted by the Emperor to teach the Crown Prince. He should do his best and sacrifice his life. Now that the Crown Prince was so mischievous, even if he had offended the Crown Prince, he should report this matter to the Emperor.
Xie Qian had made up his mind. He turned and went straight to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
In the Imperial Study of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Hongzhi flew into a rage. He hatefully threw an urgent military report on the table and said, "The Northern Yuan Tartars are really too arrogant. The Little Prince has just returned from plundering, and Huo Sieve and 3,000 men have bypassed the border army along the Huailai Line and launched a surprise attack on Yanqing from a small path in the mountains. If it weren't for Zhuo Youji's swift arrival, wouldn't he have entered the room and gone straight to the capital?"
Eunuch Miao Kui, who was serving at the side, said in a soft voice, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Huo Sieve's mere 3,000 men entering my Ming Destiny is like a loach entering the sea. What storm can they cause? My Ming Destiny has a strong army and strong horses. It's just that our country is vast and we have to divide our forces to guard it and be careful everywhere.
One is defending and the other is attacking. The outcome of the battle is in the hands of the enemy. We have to attend to one thing and lose sight of the other. But these barbarians have no scruples. That's why they can take advantage of the gap and enter. The Old Slave only needs 5,000 men and horses. We will definitely be able to control Huo Sieve outside the country's gate and defeat them. From then on, they won't dare to start a war. "
Liu Jian, who had just entered the palace by imperial edict, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, now that Zhuo Zhiqi and Liu Ying have led their troops to drive Huo Sieve out, the Mengs are roaming and plundering. They come and go like the wind. If we send our troops rashly, I'm afraid that we will have to muster a lot of manpower and damage the people's wealth. But it will be difficult to find the enemy. Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Hongzhi could not help but hesitate. Miao Kui heard that Huo Sieve only had 3,000 men and wanted to make a contribution. When he heard Liu Jian's dissuasion, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Huo Sieve only has 3,000 men and yet he dares to invade my Ming Destiny. He burned, killed, and plundered like there is no one around. If we don't punish him severely, I'm afraid the Mengs will become more arrogant."
Li Dongyang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not easy to go on a long journey. We need to prepare the rations and horses. Once everything is ready, Huo Sieve will be thousands of miles away. Moreover, I heard that Huo Sieve is tall, brave, good at fighting and peerless in martial arts. Even if we catch up with him, we may not be able to succeed. Moreover, Huo Sieve is the son-in-law of Gule Khan in Mandu of Northern Yuan. He is alone in the depth of the country and can only lead 3,000 men. Once he comes out of the pass, there will be a large army to support him. If we take the initiative to send our troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed without five times the strength of the enemy. "
"This …" Hongzhi had always been fascinated by Taizu and Chengzu's political and martial arts skills. Hearing that the Meng people were so arrogant, he really wanted to send his troops to fight. But he had always attached great importance to the opinions of the court officials, let alone the important officials in the court. Now that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang had expressed their opposition, Hongzhi could not help but hesitate in his heart. His desire to send his troops inevitably cooled down.
At this moment, a eunuch entered the door and reported, "Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Xie seeks an audience."
Hongzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, let him in." Xie Qian walked quickly into the study. Just as he was about to complain about the Crown Prince, he suddenly found Liu Jian and Li Dongyang in the study. He was startled and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were all imperial tutors. Even though they were close friends, he did not want to complain to the Emperor in front of them. Wouldn't that show that he was incompetent and unable to teach students?
