Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 219 Suspicion

The fire is coming in July and the weather turns cooler.

As the dog days came to an end, there was a clear coolness at night, and even the roar of insects by the pond became much deeper.

Lin Zisu has always been afraid of heat and has never closed the window when he sleeps all summer. However, the autumn night is getting colder, and when he goes to bed these few nights, he also pulls up the Xiangfei curtain to prevent it from entering his body at night.

Lin Zisu gave a lot of gadgets sent by the emperor a few days ago to his brothers and sisters, but a few rare items were sent to Lin Zisu's house by Bi.

Among these objects, the most attractive one is the Western clock that can tweet automatically.

This Western clock is exquisitely crafted,

The sound of the clatter is very comfortable in my ears, as if I have been walking around for the time.

Every half an hour and the hour, two tender yellow orioles will emerge from the Western bell, and they will keep shouting "cucking".

No one in Tingfengyuan had seen a Western clock before, so he regarded this thing as rare. At the right time, he searched for excuses to run into Lin Zisu's house and came to see it.

Even when the two birds were about to come out, several girls would look at the needles on the dial and count down together, waiting for the birds to appear.

As we all know, Fan Zhen has always regarded himself very highly and has never taught his own knowledge to the outside world except for the Fan family's own children.

She was stuck in the house for a few days and had gained very little, so she couldn't help but feel secretly frustrated.

However, at noon on July 14th, the palace sent someone to Corning's Mansion to deliver a message, saying that it was inviting Lin Zisu to attend the ceremony.

A few more days passed in a blink of an eye. At the 14th of July, Lin Zisu was in trouble.

Today he is talking about "The Treatise on the King and the Minister". At the beginning, he quoted the original sentence from "Mencius" as an argument for preaching.

The lecturer at the lecture was still Fan Zhen. After hearing what the emperor said, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. This girl from the Lin family is smart and clever. I like it very much. If you have free time, you can teach her some insights."

Some people noticed Fan Zhen’s age.

The cabinet was waiting in Wenhua Hall early, and seeing Lin Zisu coming to attend the imperial lecture again, everyone was dumbfounded, even more surprised than last time.

After all, Fan Zhen is over 60 years old, and he will inevitably have any headaches and fever. I heard that Lin Zisu is quite familiar with medical skills. It seems that Fan Zhen deliberately showed goodwill for Lin Zisu's medical skills.

As soon as Fan Zhen said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Amid the surprise of the ministers, Fan Zhen began today's lecture.

No matter what Lin Zisu thought, the emperor's orders should not be violated. On July 15th, Lin Zisu got up early in the morning with great tragic grief and rushed to the palace.

Not only were the girls curious, Lin Zisu was also very interested in this Western clock.

It is conceivable how high Fan Zhen’s vision is. This time, Fan Zhen took the initiative to show his kindness to the little girl Lin Zisu in front of so many people, which was beyond the expectations of the ministers.

With the cheers of the little girls, the yellow orioles began to roar in the Western bell, and the whole Tingfengyuan was filled with laughter and laughter.

She made up her mind that next time she went to the palace to meet the emperor, she would definitely ask for an order, go to Honglu Temple to find a master who understands Western languages ​​and learn Western languages ​​well.

I heard that the head of the previous generation of the Zhang family came to Fan Zhen personally and hoped that he could guide Zhang Ruogu's knowledge. Fan Zhen refused the Zhang family's request on the spot. The head of the Zhang family's hometown still felt regretful until his death.

...

"The sage was worried about it, so he made Qi become the Situ to teach human relations, father and son have relatives, monarch and minister have righteousness, husband and wife have different orders, old and young, and friends have faith."

Lin Zisu felt that she could not violate the queen's taboo, so she did not hand over the sign to the palace at all.

But in this way, the emperor made up his mind to make her a regular visitor to the imperial lecture.

Everyone was attracted by Fan Zhen's words, and they were guessing the reason in their hearts.

Lin Zisu was now a little confused about the emperor's thoughts. Even if he wanted to show the favor he had to the Lin family to the ministers, he didn't need to do so. Isn't this arousing hatred for the Lin family?

This time, it was beyond Lin Zisu's expectations. She thought that she could attend the imperial lecture last time, but the emperor was remembering her past promise, so she was allowed to attend the ceremony.

...

More than ten years ago, Zhang Ruogu was known as the number one talent in Jiangnan, and Fan Zhen directly refused to leave.

"Five, four, three, two, one, come out! Come out!"

These days, taking advantage of the cool weather, she dug out the Western books she had hidden at home, compared them to study them.

"If there is a world, there will be a monarch and ministers, and the monarch and ministers will naturally have a principle of unity of righteousness. If the monarch is a monarch, the affairs of the monarch are not in line with righteousness, so they cannot be in line with righteousness; if the monarch and ministers are in line with righteousness, they cannot be in line with their salaries, and they cannot be in line with righteousness. This means that the monarch and ministers have righteousness."

The emperor had a sudden idea, which was reasonable, but this time he called Lin Zisu over again. Could it be that he had any profound meaning?

The emperor met the ministers' surprise and smiled and said, "Last time, this girl was the official of the book exhibition. I saw that she cooperated well with Mr. Fan. This time, Mr. Fan was still preaching, so he called her into the palace, just to let her gain knowledge."

Since the emperor gave the marriage, she and Xie Xi have a marriage agreement.

The imperial lectures are an important ceremony for the court, and they talk about the learning of emperors. Among the descendants of the royal family, only the crown prince can participate in the meeting.

Lin Zisu waited in the palace for more than an hour before being led to Wenhua Palace.

Because it was the Zhongyuan Festival, every household had to worship his ancestors, and the emperor was very considerate to reduce the length of the morning meeting.

Lin Zisu is just the title of Princess Jun Dun. Even if it is Dun and Xie Xi, he is not qualified to stand here to listen.

The Western language is so sensible. When Lin Zisu was young, he learned some superficial words from his grandfather, and could only distinguish the simple meanings in Western books.

According to regulations, every 15th day of the lunar month, you must go to the palace to greet the queen to show your filial piety. However, July 15th is the Zhongyuan Festival, which is also called the "Ghost Festival" among the people. It is probably inappropriate to greet you on such a day.

Some people think that Fan Zhen’s move was deliberately used to act like a person to the emperor, but it seemed that there was something wrong with it. Fan Zhen was famous for being noble. In more than ten years, he refused the emperor’s invitation and never cared about the emperor’s face.

"I hope Your Majesty will set an example and take righteousness as the criterion for governance. The subjects in the world will take Your Majesty as an example. The rule of Yao and Shun will not be far away! I am so happy."

Today, Fan Zhen’s topic is clever and does not mention any regulations. However, he emphasizes the meaning of the monarch and the subject everywhere, which extends the last saint theory.

The emperor nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and it seemed that Fan Zhen knew his thoughts very well.

Seeing that Fan Zhen’s lecture was coming to an end, the emperor was about to give the reward, but Cao Lang hurried to the door of Wenhua Palace and whispered loudly: "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report to disturb the holy school. Please forgive me!"
