Chapter 18: Lu Juan's Storybook Released
Emperor Yuan'an closed another memorial, and then raised his head and glanced at his son casually: "Why do you look so depressed? Did you make Mr. unhappy and get punished? Or are you still dissatisfied? You are full of complaints and want me to bring justice to you.
?”
"None of them!" Yunzuo mustered up the courage, raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Yuan'an, his eyes overflowing with a lot of curiosity: "I have many doubts in my heart, and I have nowhere to ask, so I think about the wise father.
Shenwu, who is invincible, should...should be able to solve my son's questions, so..."
"Oh?" Emperor Yuan'an was a little surprised, but also vaguely happy. Over the years, he had been fighting in the north and south, and he couldn't take care of his family at all. His children were born one after another. He often just heard that he had another child and gave him a name.
, without even taking a glance at it, the child grew up in an instant.
People often say that it is the son's fault if he does not teach his father, but he did not have the opportunity to teach his son. Looking back, this is a complete failure of his father's responsibility!
Unexpectedly, among these sons, one of them was so bold. When he had doubts, he actually thought that his father could also be the person to seek advice from. Emperor Yuan'an suddenly became interested: "What are you doubting? Let me tell you."
?”
Yun Zuo then said: "My son, I practice riding and shooting diligently on weekdays. I always think that if I can have a bit of the grace of my father, I will live up to my father's son. But today, my companion, the grandson of the late Jingguo Gong, Jingbei
Fu Yuchen, Hou's legitimate son
Tell me, sooner or later, all swords, guns, bows and arrows will be replaced by firecrackers, and then the practice of cavalry and archery will be useless - as I understand it, this firecracker has many flaws, how can it replace all weapons?"
"But Yuchen has a good reputation and is very confident in his words. I thought, he is the son of a general, and he seems to have a good understanding of this fire gun. He can put forward many suggestions for improvement just by talking casually.
Isn’t it true that he is somewhat reasonable?”
"I also thought that firearms have been used in the military for nearly a hundred years. My father even set up a separate firearms camp in the army. Although this firearms camp has not been heard to have many extraordinary achievements, problems often arise.
However, among the firearms, there are cannons with great power and long range, which can enable our army to defend the city and prevent the northern cavalry from outside the pass. The restraint of the cavalry by sharp artillery is evident."
"Father, is it clear that this fire cannon can really be improved all the way to its perfection, so that one person can have the sharpness to pop out and kill people? One day, can this fire cannon completely replace swords, guns, bows and arrows and be deployed in our army?
"
Yunzuo finished asking in one breath and looked at Emperor Yuan'an expectantly.
Emperor Yuan'an's first thought was, "How is this possible to completely replace swords, guns, bows and arrows?" But he changed his mind and instead of directly expressing his opinions, he chose a seductive teaching method with an encouraging smile.
He asked back: "What do you think the emperor thinks?"
Yoong Zuo was confused: "I don't know, I always feel that it is not impossible that these guns and guns will completely replace swords, guns, bows and arrows in the future, but I also feel that there seem to be many problems in this, which are very difficult and cannot be solved..."
Emperor Yuan'an smiled: "Let's do it! There is a saying: What you read on paper will eventually become shallow, and there is also a saying: What you hear with your ears is false, and your eyes are true. At this time tomorrow, you will bring your companion to read here, and I will give you a job.
With the title of Ministry Trainee, you can go to the Ministry of Industry to check firearms information in person every day after school, and go to the Firearms Bureau to see the manufacturing of firearms. Come back to me in half a month. By then, I believe you will be able to get what you want.
That’s the answer.”
Yoong Zuo was stunned, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Father!"
"Well, please step back!" Emperor Yuan'an nodded and looked at his son stepping back. He felt a little proud in his heart. He felt that his father's skills were quite advanced and he was one of the rare wise fathers. In the past, he just didn't.
It's just an opportunity to put it into practice. After half a month, this method of teaching children will have miraculous results.
On the other side, Fu Xuechen had no idea that he had been tricked by the sixth prince inexplicably, and returned to the mansion in a happy mood.
Entering Qingtong Courtyard again, this time the treatment was completely different. Two colored snacks were already placed on the table. Before the maids exited the room, they also left a pot of hot tea for Fu Xuechen.
Fu Yuchen smiled and said: "This is a snack from Mifulou. My brother specially sent someone to buy it for you. Try it."
Are you so kind? Fu Xuechen glanced at Fu Yuchen suspiciously, held the tea cup in his hand to warm his hands, and was not busy eating the snack, but said in a routine: "Okay! Let me tell you what happened today.
Come on! Master Ji from Mingdetang today..."
"Don't rush, don't rush!" Fu Yuchen waved his hand to stop him.
"Look, I'm so broken that I won't be able to get better in a hundred days. The matter of entering the palace as a companion is still early for me. You don't have to explain it to me in detail every day. Every three to five days.
Just give me a rough idea, I don't want to hear this today."
Fu Xuechen didn't like to read a diary about his day's experiences. Hearing this, he asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
Fu Yuchen turned around and took out a thin booklet with blue cover from the pillow, and threw it to Fu Xuechen at the table: "Take a look."
"What is it?" Fu Xuechen asked. He put down the tea cup and opened the booklet. He was shocked. He saw that the booklet was neatly arranged and the pages were written in small regular script. The first few large words were "Liao Zhai Zhizhi".
"Lu Juan".
Fu Yuchen proudly explained: "This is the story you told me yesterday. I spent a day recording it and bound it into a book!"
Fu Xuechen's eyes widened and he read the Chinese text in the book silently: Zhu Erdan, a Confucian scholar from Lingyang, was bold in nature, dull in learning, and liked literary societies. He often gathered with others to drink and play. One day, everyone had a banquet. The wine was half intoxicating. On a moonlit night, he sat down
One of the friends in the middle said in a play: Mr. Zhu has a great reputation. He can go to the Palace of the Ten Kings tonight, and the judge will come, and everyone will prepare a banquet. I don’t want to teach Mr. Zhu to spend money...
"This..." Fu Xuechen was confused for a moment by Fu Yuchen. He never expected that this guy, this guy actually told the story of "Liao Zhai Lu Pan"! It was half written and half white, it was like a reproduction of the original story of "Liao Zhai"!
Of course, the full text is also impossible, and the writing style is not nearly as good as Pu Songling's, but the story is still the same story, and the context is unmistakable.
"What do you want to do by copying this story?" Fu Xuechen asked cautiously while holding the book.
Fu Yuchen waved his hand impatiently: "Let me ask you, do you have the original script of this story? Do you know who the author is?"
Fu Xuechen would like to say that the original author is Pu Songling, but there is no Qing Dynasty in this time and space, let alone Pu Songling. When he opened his mouth, he choked and could only shake his head.
Fu Yuchen was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "That's good! I don't know where you got the story from. As far as I know, I can confirm that there is no such story in any book market, even in Guozixue.
Chapter completed!
