Chapter 1232: 23 Things About the Fake Emperor and the Powerful Officials
Shi Li's homework was all assigned by Mr. Xie before. Yuan Chizhi only needed to listen to her once and then watch her write it again.
He could also give comments in the middle of the class, but he never spoke, like a ruthless substitute teaching machine.
Shi Li finished today's homework carefully, blew gently on the ink at the end of the last word, and heard Yuan Chizhi ask calmly: "Your Majesty seems to be worried."
His ability to read people's expressions is so terrifying!
Shi Li's whole body stiffened and he turned to face Yuan Chizhi.
There was a faint smile on his face, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright, and he had a handsome face that was unparalleled in the world.
Let me say it again, the historical records of the most handsome man in Jing Dynasty are true!
This should be highlighted!
Shi Li came back to his senses, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally told the story truthfully about what he saw and heard in the back garden yesterday.
Mr. Xie is a good man. Whether Yuan Chizhi is a good or bad person remains to be explored. At least he has always been nice to her. But the manipulator behind those two palace maids yesterday was not any better.
First, he dared to spy on the emperor and place his own people in the palace; second, he instigated the new emperor and had evil intentions.
After weighing the two options, Shi Li was worried that the situation would become more serious if the time went on, so she decided to leave the matter and the two palace maids to Yuan Chizhi to handle.
No matter how bad things get, there's still Mr. Xie watching over us, so nothing serious will go wrong.
Yuan Chizhi listened to Shi Li's statement in silence and chuckled with ambiguous meaning.
"Your Majesty has locked up the two maids?"
"I...I'm worried that they'll run away, and then we won't be able to find the mastermind behind this."
Shi Li answered very calmly, with a pair of black and white eyes full of seriousness, "I don't know what they are talking about the Wang family and the top scholar. But they deliberately talked about this in the back garden, with sinister intentions."
"I understand, Your Majesty, rest assured."
Yuan Chizhi's smile widened, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly for Your Majesty."
After talking about this matter, Yuan Chizhi should step down today.
But he seemed to suddenly remember something and dropped a bombshell on Shi Li before leaving.
"Your Majesty, Elder Xie asked me to convey that Your Majesty will learn horse riding and archery for an hour starting tomorrow. You must not put civil arts before military arts."
Ride... and shoot?!
Shi Li's whole body trembled, and her mind was full of reluctance.
It's not just that she doesn't want to suffer, the more important reason is that she is a girl. Wouldn't it be easier for her to be exposed when she learns riding and archery?
"My dear Yuan!"
Yuan Chizhi thought he had walked out of the warm room when he suddenly heard Shi Li's hurried voice. He turned around and saw that he had chased out with anxiety on his face.
"Have you chosen a master to teach me riding and archery?"
It was because of this matter?
Yuan Chizhi curled his lips, took a step back, and bowed to Shi Li again.
"Tomorrow I will teach Your Majesty how to ride and shoot."
Shi Li:……!!!
She stayed where she was and didn't even notice Yuan Chizhi leaving.
It is obvious that this matter was decided by Elder Xie. It is understandable that he wants to train an emperor who is both civil and military, but can this matter be discussed with someone else, such as Yuan Chizhi, to teach her?
Shi Li didn't want to admit that she was very wary of Yuan Chizhi from the first time she saw him. She always felt that even when his eyes were smiling, they seemed to be able to see through her from beginning to end.
Mr. Xie probably heard about the Ru'nan Wang family from Yuan Chizhi, and he went to the palace the next day.
The upright old man did not say anything extra. He just handed the essay written by the top scholar of the Wang family to Shi Li and asked her to personally review it.
The top scholar from the Ru'nan family was a man of great talent and vision. Unfortunately, because of his background, his arrogance was evident in his writing.
In short, this top scholar from a prominent family had a very high opinion of himself and did not care about the common people, let alone put himself in their shoes.
He is just a show-off and can't do anything great for the country or the people even if he holds a high position.
But if he is demoted to a lower level and given some experience, he might be a useful talent.
Shi Li expressed all her thoughts in detail, and Mr. Xie, who had originally had a gloomy face, smiled.
"Your Majesty can think of this, I am really relieved."
Old Xie's voice was fluctuating, and he was very excited. He had said this to the late emperor at the beginning, but unfortunately the late emperor felt that sending him to the local area would be a disgrace to the family, so he sent him to the Hanlin Academy instead.
Shi Li's speech made Mr. Xie seem to see the hope of a prosperous era.
While Mr. Xie was happy, Shi Li couldn't help but mention his experience of learning horse riding and archery.
"Your Majesty doesn't like to hold it?"
Mr. Xie knew what she meant and immediately stopped smiling.
