When the imperial edict was issued to the Imperial College,
The three of them had different expressions,
Their eyes were filled with confusion,
They could participate in politics after an exam?
The other students had long been shocked and used to it,
However, the Emperor's imperial edict still shocked them to the core.
"Participate in politics without any qualifications!"
"Without an official name!!"
"As expected!"
All the students lowered their heads and sighed. Sometimes, comparing people..,
It was infuriating.
Xie Lige did not care about the commotion in the Imperial College,
He still began to lecture as usual, but the difficulty was a little more difficult than the previous few days. Many people frowned as they listened.
The only one who was not harmonious was the son of the Zhao family,
Amidst the gloomy atmosphere, a spirited face suddenly appeared, his eyes shining brightly as he looked up.
He was obviously excited and probably understood the meaning.
Xie Lige: this kid surnamed Zhao was indeed born to learn business!
When they went back at night,
The little emperor did not appear in the manor. Xie Lige considered that he had not seen this large brat for several days. In order to appease the latter's black-hearted degree,
He brought Gu Xichao to the palace that night,
The two of them specially brought a few test papers over,
In the carriage, Xie Lige held the test papers and said earnestly, "It's not easy to go to the palace. Bring some gifts."
Gu Xichao: "..."
Gu Xichao: "!!!!"
The young boy looked at the test papers in his father's hand in horror,
Did they give test papers as gifts now?
Gu Xichao was very suspicious of his father's sinister intentions. His mind was filled with thoughts, and he did not understand how the little emperor had made a mistake again. Anticipating the chaos after entering the palace, the young boy wisely chose to remain silent.
He decided to withdraw from this battle,
Although he could not bear to see the little emperor suffer for a while,
The young boy thought about it calmly,
It was more important to save his life.
It was better to die than to die.
Gu Xichao felt that it made sense.
This brotherhood could be said to be very plastic.
As soon as they entered the palace, the two people entered the palace one after the other. The little Emperor had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw the two people enter the palace, his eyes instantly lit up and he quickly walked up to greet them.
Her figure, which was almost taller than Xie Lige, ran over excitedly like a large dog. Her dignified and domineering aura instantly turned silly and cute, and her phoenix eyes were filled with grievance.
The little Emperor rushed towards Xie Lige like a whirlwind and exclaimed, "Imperial Tutor!!!"
Xie Lige turned around and dodged the attack. Then, he moved away from the little Emperor without leaving a trace.
Gu Xichao had already run away when the little Emperor came over. It was as if he had expected to avoid trouble. The disdain in his actions was not restrained at all.
The little emperor hugged nothing.
She felt even more aggrieved.
He frowned and turned to look at Gu Xichao. "A Dynasty."
Gu Xichao turned his head away and pretended not to hear.
Xie Lige stuffed the test paper into the little Emperor's arms and said concisely, "Homework."
"What?" The little Emperor was dumbfounded.
The test paper was stuffed into his arms, so the little Emperor had no choice but to let go and take the test paper. He glanced at it unwillingly and saw the contents clearly. It was somewhat familiar. The little Emperor frowned. Some of the questions were similar to the three test papers that he had seen last time.
Thinking like this, the little Emperor suddenly did not want it.
He looked up at the test paper in disgust.
Well …
It was indeed correct.
It was a bit difficult.
The little Emperor did not want to write. He looked up at Xie Lige. His eyes were full of expectation. "I already know it. Can I not write it?"
Xie Lige was indifferent. "Oh."
The little Emperor instantly changed into a crying face. "Wa!!!
Imperial Tutor, I really did not mean to give the imperial edict last time!! "
Gu Xi Chao was hesitating whether or not to plead for leniency, but when she heard the little Emperor confess without being pressed, she immediately swallowed her words. She looked at the little Emperor, who was pretending to cry, like an adult looking at a naughty child.
Listening to the meaning of these words, the little Emperor seemed to have done something wrong.
Xie Lige calmly glanced at him. He was not fooled by his fake acting at all. He was still very good at fighting. "Not only that, you have done more stupid things than that!"
The little Emperor's crying suddenly stopped.
After a while.
Cries could be heard one after another.
Xie Lige raised his eyebrows. Unrepentant?
Gu Xichao on the side heard his father's words and looked at the little Emperor in surprise. He felt that this was the first time he met the little Emperor. He actually dared to lie and pretend to cry!!
He seemed to have seen the other party's tragic future.
The little Emperor pitifully looked up at the other two people. His eyes were finally red because he had pretended to cry for a long time. Such a little Emperor looked like a little pitiful person who had been bullied.
However, when he opened his mouth, you would find that all this was an illusion.
"… Burp … Wuwu!
I, I know. "The little Emperor sobbed and put away the test paper.
Then he honestly revealed the good things he had done during this time.
"… Wuwu … It was I who let people leak that Wang Qing's son went to the brothel …"
"Next time, I won't bully Fu Qing for being timid … Burp … I know that he is very tired dealing with the grassland barbarians."
"And I won't hide the emperor's hairpin …"
"And I won't lie to Sir Zhuge …"
After saying a lot of things, Gu Xichao had difficulty breathing. For the first time, he knew why the civil and military officials were so afraid of the little Emperor. Indeed, smart people were ruthless.
Although the little Emperor usually looked very wronged and easy to bully, in fact, he was a young lion in sheep's clothing. He tried to use cleverness as a cover to make people let down their guard. What was more terrifying was that he really let down his guard and scornfully thought that the little Emperor was a little stupid.
Reality gave Gu Xichao a heavy blow.
The series of things that the little Emperor said did not seem to be very serious. The degree was maintained very well and did not cross that line. This also showed that he actually understood the actions of the civil and military officials very well.
Gu Xichao's back was a little cold. He suddenly realized that many of the people on the list might have done something wrong.
They themselves might not even realize that the little Emperor had done something behind their backs.
Perhaps it was Gu Xichao's difficulty breathing that attracted Xie Lige's attention.
Xie Lige turned his head slightly to look at Gu Xichao and found that the latter was completely in a brainstorm. Obviously, the little Emperor's true character scared him.
He sighed and helplessly woke Gu Xichao up, "Scared silly, you were confused by the little bastard's appearance."
Gu Xichao was still a little stunned and turned his head blankly.
He woke up the moment he saw the little Emperor.
"Uh … His Majesty didn't do anything to the court …"
In order to prevent the little Emperor from doing something bad, Gu Xichao did not want to leave a mark in the other's heart and chose his words carefully.
"Hmph!" Xie Lige laughed angrily and said, "You don't have to plead for him."
He looked down at the pitiful little Emperor, paused, and then took a step back and said helplessly, "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful. I won't pursue the things that have happened these past few days with you. Look at you, the ruler of a country, how can you be in such a sorry state?" His tone seemed to be reprimanding, but Gu Xichao could hear the affection in his tone.
The little Emperor immediately stopped crying and climbed up the pole. He showed a flattering smile to the father and son.
Gu Xichao did not speak. He felt that he was a fool for pleading.
After the farce, everyone sat down. Gu Xichao also sat down. His heart was in a mess as he sat in his seat. For the first time, he felt that he was not as powerful as he had imagined.
Xie Lige looked around and found that the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff. He pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "Are you surprised?
This little bastard hid it so well? "
Gu Xichao raised his head and found that his father was talking to him.
After a long time, he nodded hesitantly.
The little Emperor puffed up his cheeks angrily.
Xie Lige seemed to not see the little Emperor's expression and said, "He has been like this since he was young. He naturally likes to pretend to be weak. His father is clearly a straightforward and upright person. I don't know where he learned this from. On the surface, he is soft and weak and looks easy to bully, but in reality, his subordinates are more cunning than anyone else."
Many years ago, when Xie Lige had just taken over the little Emperor, he had almost been tricked by this little bastard.
Fortunately, the previous Emperor understood his son very well and took Xie Lige to expose the little Emperor's disguise. At that time, Xie Lige, who had already traveled through many worlds, opened his eyes for the first time. It turned out that there really were people who were born with a cunning attribute. They were naturally more cunning than others.
This was also why when the new Emperor came of age, he did not hesitate to let go.
To put it bluntly, there was no one in the entire court who could fight.
The little Emperor stammered as he looked at Gu Xichao. A moment later, he looked hesitantly at the other party and said, "A, A Dynasty, you are afraid."
QAQ！
He really was reacting naturally.
But after the Emperor's tutor left, no one could control him. When a person did something bad and no one could see through it, the person who was bullied could only admit that he was unlucky and suffer in silence. The feeling was too fun.
The result was that the people who did bad things would not restrain themselves. Instead, they would become even worse. Playing with people's hearts in the eyes of outsiders was just like this in his hands.
There was no answer. Just as the little Emperor lowered his head in disappointment and thought that Gu Xichao was like those officials who had learned the truth, a cold and clear voice sounded by his ear.
"No," Gu Xichao said in a low voice.
The little Emperor smiled through his tears.
Gu Xichao raised his head and looked seriously at the little Emperor. "I am not afraid!"
"You are very smart, but this is not a reason for me to be afraid of you!"
It was not the little Emperor's fault that he was too smart. He was born with the ability to see through the disguises of the people below him and easily played with most people in the palm of his hand. Even so, he could not push all the blame onto the latter.
Gu Xichao was not a fool. He could see that the things the little Emperor did were all small. It was clear that when he was young, the previous Emperor and his father had spent a lot of effort to twist the little Emperor's temperament. Just based on this, he was worthy of Gu Xichao's trust.
Because now it seemed that the results of these two people were not bad.
Besides.
Gu Xichao looked straight at the little Emperor's face and said expressionlessly, "Didn't you say you would protect me?
Do you want to go back on your words? "
The little Emperor did not seem to think that Gu Xichao would have such a reaction, especially when the latter asked for protection without blushing at all. He suddenly felt much better.
