Zimo was grounded by His Majesty?"
In the courtyard of the Nineteenth Young Master's mansion.
Lu Su had been learning needlework from her sister and wanted to sew a doll that looked like Ying Zimo with a needle and thread.
Upon hearing this, her big eyes that were overflowing with spiritual energy instantly lost their color.
Her little face also turned pale.
In less than three seconds, tears as big as beans flowed out.
"Sister, how long will I be grounded? Will I never be able to see Zimo again? His Majesty is a bad person.”
"That won't happen. Zimo will be released in at most ten days to half a month. By then, he can play with you again.”
Lu Zhi rubbed Lu Su's crying pill refinement.
Su 'er was very clingy now. They had not seen each other for only a day, and she had already muttered about it countless times.
What did Zimo do?
His Majesty seemed to be more tolerant of this Nineteen.
By suddenly locking Zimo up, would he do something that His Majesty would be very unhappy about?
Now that the entire Lu Family was dependent on Zimo, Zimo's safety was directly related to whether they could establish themselves in Xianyang.
Furthermore, the thought of the cute Zimo being locked up in the Cold Palace without food or water made him shiver in the cold.
The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it became!
Lu Zhi could not help but feel his heart ache. He pursed his lips and asked,
"Mr. Zhang Liang, wasn't everything fine when you went to court today? Why did you suddenly…"
"Sigh, the Little Lord's black gunpowder blew up the front of the Qilin Palace. His Majesty lost his temper and beat the Little Lord's butt in front of all the civil and military officials.”
Zhang Liang explained everything in detail.
Slap his butt in front of all the officials?!
Lu Su was so frightened that she stopped crying. In an instant, she imagined Emperor Shi Huang as a fiendish, ferocious, and terrifying figure.
On the contrary, they had no idea how big of a mess Ying Zimo had caused.
"It's not as exaggerated as the two ladies think. His Majesty will probably calm down soon.”
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly when he saw this.
What was this?
The signboard of the Qilin Palace had been shaken off by that " big firecracker ". This was also the case for the Little Lord. He was only beaten up and locked up for ten days to half a month.
If it were anyone else, exile would be considered a light punishment.
"During this period of time when the Little Lord is not around, we have to be even more careful.”
"After all, the Hanlin Academy is about to be completed, and it's time to recruit students.”
Xiao He's expression was serious as he started talking about serious matters.
Previously, according to expectations, the people recruited by the Imperial Academy ranged from nobles to commoners, and were not limited by background.
As long as one was a scholar who desired knowledge, they could enter the Imperial Academy to study. Of course, they would also go through some simple examinations to prevent those who were accepted from being too ignorant and incompetent.
It was also because of this rule that touched on the foundation of the nobility.
When their Little Lord was here, they were still afraid of him. After all, they couldn't do anything to Ying Zimo even if he wanted to kill a few people.
Now that the Little Lord was grounded, some people's thoughts must have become active.
"Not asking about one's background is the original intention of the Little Lord to take over the Hanlin Academy.”
"If we only recruit dignitaries, the Academy will lose its meaning.”
Zhang Liang frowned, thinking of a countermeasure.
The Three Aristocratic Families, together with the other nobles in Xianyang, had a lot of students.
These people might not enter the school with noble statuses.
If they changed their clothes and said that they were poor students, but in fact, they really belonged to aristocratic families behind their backs, would they still reject them?
Moreover, if there were guests of noble status who mixed in with the poor students to cause trouble, what should they do?
Lu Wen also thought of what Zhang Liang was worried about.
Running a school for the people sounded like a good idea, but it was much more difficult than imagined.
"Actually, there is a way to solve this problem.”
A voice sounded from the side, and the few of them turned their heads in shock.
The one who spoke just now was actually Lu Zhi.
"Zhi 'er, father is discussing important matters with the two gentlemen. What are you girls getting involved in?”
Lu Wen did not berate him.
He only apologized to Zhang Liang and Xiao He.
She looked at Lu Zhi and shook her head slightly, indicating for her not to cause trouble.
This Hanlin Academy matter gave him a headache and he couldn't think of any good countermeasures.
Although Lu Zhi was intelligent, he was all petty tricks. How could he interfere in the affairs of the country?
"Father, although Zhi 'er is short-sighted, I don't think this matter is that complicated.”
While the few of them were chatting.
However, he did not notice that a small figure had just walked to the door of the back garden. When she heard Lu Zhi's opinion, she stopped in her tracks.
"Sister Zhi 'er is not inferior to Zhang Liang and Xiao He. Listen to what she has to say…"
Ying Zimo stuck his head out and hid behind the door.
"The distinguished guests who mix among the poor scholars are here to cause trouble, not to learn. When the time comes, we will print a batch of examination papers to test the knowledge in the books sent by the aristocratic families.”
"It is impossible for poor scholars to know the knowledge within. When the time comes, they will naturally be selected.”
Lu Zhi's calm voice stunned everyone.
How could this be?
Who would have thought that those who did well would expose their identities!
"This method is good."
Zhang Liang's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, when even they were at their wits 'end, it was actually Lu Zhi, who was in his early twenties, who gave the answer.
"What if those people cause trouble?”
Lu Wen looked hesitant.
"Cause trouble? Didn't Zimo leave Chief Rain and the Embroidered Uniform Guards in the residence? There was no need to be polite to the troublemakers. Just capture them all and deal with them according to the laws of Qin.”
Capture someone?
It was hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of a 28-year-old girl.
Looking at Lu Su's pretty face, it was beautiful yet cold, giving people a strange feeling of conflict.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Why did this sound more and more like the Little Lord?
"Dad, when the time comes, you'll be the one who came up with this idea, let alone your daughter.”
"This…"
Lu Wen had a strange look in his eyes.
Is it because after staying with the Little Lord for a long time, it seems that Zhi-er's temper is getting more and more
Ying Zimo looked at Lu Zhi, who had stunned everyone with his words, and revealed a smile on his face.
He could not help but give Lu Zhi a thumbs up.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Liang, who was facing the gate, suddenly saw a chubby little hand reach out.
A thumbs up?
"Little Lord?"
Zhang Liang's voice was filled with astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.
Hearing his voice, everyone instantly followed Zhang Liang's gaze and looked over. Then, they were all stunned on the spot.
"You didn't expect it, did you? I was released by Imperial Father. Did everyone miss me?”
After being discovered, Ying Zimo also walked out openly. There was no shyness on his little face because he was eavesdropping.
"Zimo! Sob, sob, sob, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again!”
Lu Su rubbed her almond-shaped eyes in disbelief.
After confirming that Ying Zimo was really back, she lifted her skirt and ran over.
A hug!
"Zimo, when did you come back?”
A moment ago, Lu Su's face was still cold, but it instantly melted.
At first, she was delighted, but then she pursed her lips tightly in confusion.
Did Zimo see her earlier?
She usually tried to be gentle because she did not want Zimo to think that she was a difficult woman to talk to.
"I've been back since you started talking.”
Ying Zimo looked at Lu Su, who had turned from tears to smiles after sticking close to him, and immediately smiled in his heart.
"I heard it all."
When Lu Zhi heard that, even his footsteps that were moving forward stopped.
Would Zimo hate her now?
After all, a child of this age would not like fierce people, but would prefer a gentle and kind big sister, right?
'What is Sister Zhi' er imagining again? Smart women have a lot of inner thoughts.'
Ying Zimo complained in his heart.
Then, she strode forward with her short legs and gave Lu Zhi a slap.
"Sister Zhi 'er, you were even more beautiful than usual just now!”
"In the future, help me think of ideas. How about helping me think of a way? It would be too tiring if I had to rely on myself and the few of you to do a lot of things.”
What was a lovable halo?
The system's products were definitely of the highest quality!
She looked at her upturned face, her smile as bright as the sun on a sunny day.
Lu Zhi's ears immediately turned red, and the messy thoughts in his heart all vanished into thin air.
She stretched out her hand and gently tapped Ying Zimo's forehead, then sighed and said,"
"How can this be? Sister is just a woman. How can she participate in the meeting?”
"The Imperial Academy does not care about one's background, but women can also enter the academy. Sister Zhi 'er is so intelligent and wise. It would be a pity if she did not have a place to put her talents to use.”
"Sister, are you not willing to help me?"
Only then did Ying Zimo bring up the main topic.
In this era, there were very few women who studied. Although it was not like the three obedience and four virtues of the feudal dynasty, it was almost impossible for them to participate in politics.
However, Lu Zhi was a woman who would almost control the world in the future.
It would be a pity if the pearl was covered in dust.
Girls entering the school?
Zhang Liang and Xiao He fell silent.
They were also a little shocked. They never thought that the Little Lord would think so much more than they did.
"Sigh, I lost to you."
Not only did Lu Zhi see sincerity in Ying Zimo's eyes, but he also saw a sense of respect.
This was a respect that no one had ever felt before.
Even her father mostly saw them as water that was destined to be splashed out in the future.
However, Zimo really approved of her and needed her sincerely!
"I lost to you."
Lu Zhi's red lips parted slightly, but the corners of his mouth could not hide the joy.
Seeing this, Duke Lu sighed and remained silent in shame.
As the second son of the family, Zhi 'er was ten times smarter than her elder brother in terms of strategy and thinking. However, Lu Wen had never thought of letting her come into contact with the family business. He was even afraid that Zhi' er's intelligence would surpass the other males in the family.
As a father, he was being unfair.
Now that the Little Lord was willing to give him a chance to display his wisdom, he could be considered to have made up for what he owed.
"Thank you, Little Lord, for giving my daughter a chance.”
"This is because Sister Zhi 'er is outstanding.”
"Right, Little Lord, why were you suddenly released? Isn't His Majesty going to punish you?"
"Hmph, not only did father let me go, but he also let me continue to supervise the country! The aristocratic families probably don't know about this."
........
With Ying Zimo's return, everyone had a new backbone.
After all, the Little Lord had always been the one to make decisions on major matters.
When they heard that not only did Qin Shi Huang not punish Ying Zimo, but he even allowed him to continue supervising the country, everyone was shocked.
This was somewhat incomprehensible!
What did the Little Lord do this time?
.........
At the same time.
The Gan family.
The nobles who didn't know that Ying Zimo had been released gathered together.
They were also discussing how to create some trouble for the Imperial Academy while he was not around. It would be best if the rice was cooked and the Academy was in their hands.
"Little Lord has been confined this time. It's really a godsend opportunity.”
"Even if Your Majesty isn't angry, it's not good to let the Little Lord cause trouble anymore. Even if you let the Little Lord out in a few days, it'll be difficult to change anything.”
