Retreat from court.
The officials walked from the Hall of Martial Valor to the government office outside the Imperial City.
Along the way.
The Left Imperial Censor, Liu Daxia, and the others happened to bump into Yang Tinghe, who was heading to the Eastern Palace.
The few lords looked at Yang Tinghe angrily and snorted,""Lord Yang, you have good methods!"
Yang Tinghe was speechless.
What did he mean?
Why are they so angry at me? I don't think I offended them!
In the eyes of Yuan Ting and the other Great Ming Prefects, the Crown Prince would naturally not use such a classic argument in court.
Who was the one who taught the crown prince behind his back? Wasn't it the Eastern Palace Grand Tutor, Yang Tinghe?
"What good method?" Yang Tinghe asked subconsciously.
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. It was more like he was provoking them, the losers.
Liu Daxia was so angry that his body was trembling. He shouted,"Shameless!"
"Despicable!"
"I didn't dare to admit it just now!"
"I'm ashamed to be associated with someone like you!"
A few of the Division Heads left in a huff.
"Are you guys crazy?!"”
Yang Tinghe stood in the spring breeze with a dumbfounded expression.
"Lord Yang, the Emperor has summoned you to the Martial Meritocrats Hall.”
"Oh, okay."
Yang Tinghe didn't know what was going on and followed the eunuch to the Martial Meritocrats Hall.
Zhu Youtang was in a very good mood today. The Crown Prince's opinion today allowed him to see unlimited hope for the future.
Before this, Emperor Hongzhi was most worried about the future of the empire, which was Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao played with a group of eunuchs in the Eastern Palace every day. He also said that he would build a leopard house to collect rare treasures and beasts to play with. At that time, Emperor Hongzhi was very angry.
However, he was the crown prince and his own son. No matter how angry Emperor Hongzhi was, he could only endure it.
He had placed great expectations on Zhu Houzhao and hoped that in the future, under the governance of the father and son, the Great Ming Empire would prosper.
Hope after hope, disappointment after disappointment.
However, things were different now.
Yang Tinghe had taught the Crown Prince so well. As the Emperor, he could proudly say to those relatives of the Imperial Family," Look, this is my son. Isn't he better than your children?
Yang Tinghe and others paid their respects to Emperor Hongzhi and Empress.
Emperor Hongzhi chuckled and said,"Minister Yang, get up quickly. Don't be so polite with me."”
Under Yang Tinghe's surprised gaze, Emperor Hongzhi actually stood up from the dragon throne and slowly walked in front of Yang Tinghe. He held Yang Tinghe's hand and said,"Is there anything lacking at home recently?”
"Ah? I, I do not lack anything. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am ashamed.”
The better Emperor Hongzhi treated him, the more ashamed he felt.
He had been teaching the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace for three years, but the Crown Prince still went out with Liu Jin and the other eunuchs to cause trouble. This made Yang Tinghe feel very ashamed. He felt that he had failed as a teacher.
To be honest, there were several times when he wanted to retire. He did not want to continue to disappoint the Emperor. He wanted to resign from his position as the Eastern Palace Grand Tutor, Zuo Chunfang.
"What's there to be ashamed of?" Emperor Hongzhi smiled. The Crown Prince has been taught well by you. I am very satisfied. You are the best teacher I have ever made.”
"Ah?"
Yang Tinghe quickly said," I didn't. I'm not. Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. I wouldn't dare."”
Emperor Hongzhi had an expression of understanding.
He knew that Yang Tinghe was an upright person and a humble scholar. This was good. After all, civil officials should be humble.
"Alright, I'll reward you with another 300 taels of silver to fill your household expenses.”
Yang Tinghe hurriedly said," Your Majesty, I will seriously teach the Crown Prince. Please don't reward me, Your Majesty. I really feel guilty."”
No wonder the emperor was so good to him. The emperor probably knew that he had the intention to retreat, so he tried to rope him in.
Sigh, as a father, who wouldn't want their son to become better?
If he were to resign from the position of Grand Tutor Zuo Chunfang of the Eastern Palace today, who would be able to take over his position?
One had to know that before Yang Tinghe ascended the throne, there had already been three successive resignations of Zhan Shi Manor officials, but none of them had been able to lecture Zhu Houzhao.
If he were to resign again, the emperor would probably not be able to find him!
Yang Tinghe said seriously,"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely rack my brains and train my Crown Prince into a gentleman!"”
Emperor Hongzhi said happily," With your words, I can rest assured. Three hundred taels of silver is not much. You can add some money to the household. Alright, go to the Eastern Palace and teach the Crown Prince. I look forward to your performance."”
Yang Tinghe's fighting spirit was ignited once again. He felt that he had a heavy responsibility. He cupped his fists and said,"This subject obeys the decree! I'll take my leave!"
……
The spring breeze blew on his face, causing it to feel slightly cold.
Under the sunlight, Su Ce was guiding the water from the Huitong River in the backyard into the swimming pool in the backyard.
He had also read books on ecological river systems and knew how to divert water for irrigation.
The swimming pool in the backyard had been built with cement and stone bricks.
He made use of the height of the terrain to create a water pressure difference. Then, he used the iron sheet as a gate to let water flow into the swimming pool in the backyard at any time.
At the same time, he also needed to create another gate in the pool so that water could flow into the Huitong River.
It wasn't difficult or tiring to create such an ecological water flow system. Su Ce finished it very quickly.
However, there was still a problem. How was he going to purify the water?
Although the water of the Huitong River had not been polluted by industry, people often washed their clothes in the river.
For this purpose, he found aluminum and charcoal, and surrounded the gate with a wooden ball fence so that the water flowing into the pool could be purified simply.
You have completed the construction of the swimming pool in the courtyard. Reward: The Art of War of the Mandarin Duck Formation
Su Ce was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood.
He felt that this array was somewhat familiar. Thinking of the Qi Jiguang Zhuan he had seen before, he understood.
The Mandarin Duck Formation was a very unique formation invented by Qi Jiguang, specifically used to deal with the Japanese slaves.
Su Ce wore a white cloak and slowly got up. He carried the books to the library.
The area of this house was not big. There were only three rooms. They were divided into front and back courtyards. The east wing was his bedroom, and the west wing was his study.
There were all kinds of books in the study, all of which he had rewarded. He rarely let people enter his study because many of the books in the study did not belong to this era.
Therefore, the study room was set up with many mechanisms.
After putting the books away, Su Ce heard a knock on the door.
Su Ce walked out with his hands behind his back and opened the door.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Houzhao slapped Su Ce's shoulder and said,""Brother Ce! The Imperial Court is going to open a shipping company!"
This kid had a very awe-inspiring look on his face, like a general who had just won a battle. He was very proud.
Su Ce wasn't too surprised and just said,""Congratulations then."
"Why are you congratulating me? I didn't do it. I just heard about it.”
Su Ce was speechless.
Fine, you can pretend slowly.
"Oh, oh, right, I brought you a lot of silk.”
"There are also porcelain bottles and potted plants."
"I see you cutting flowers and potted plants at home every day. I know you like these quiet and elegant things.”
"You, hurry up and get in here!”
Su Ce smiled helplessly. Actually, he didn't really need silk. He rarely went out and spent most of his time in the house.
She couldn't wear too many clothes.
Of course, the silk could also be converted into silver, but it was more or less a gift from Zhu Houzhao, so there was no need for him to sell it.
The potted plants were useful, but there were too many decorations in the house, so he could no longer obtain rewards.
But wasn't this pleasing to the eye?
Su Ce's life was very delicate and comfortable. He liked to be with these flowers and plants. He cut the potted plants into the way he liked, and it gave him a sense of accomplishment.
"Ah!"
"Why did you dig such a big pit here?”
Zhu Houzhao pointed at the swimming pool in the backyard curiously.
Su Ce was speechless.
I think there's a hole in your brain.
He patiently explained to Zhu Houzhao,""This isn't a pit, it's a swimming pool."
"What kind of pond is a swimming pool?" Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and fell into deep thought. Is there something this prince doesn't know?
