The minister of the Ministry of Industry was a court official for his ancestors and had accumulated wealth for many generations, so he was quite wealthy and had a large pond in the back garden.
A group of children are divided into three camps, and a bouquet of chrysanthemums is placed on each boat. Whichever boat can keep the flowers until the end, the people on this boat will win.
Chu Hongyu stood on his boat and said, "Rebels and traitors, you two come first."
No one dared to disobey the emperor's orders, even if the other party was just a little emperor.
The two parties immediately engaged in battle. The two boats approached, but the bows of the boats could not come together, and the people on the boats could not go to the other side's boat to snatch the chrysanthemums.
"Whoever gets the chrysanthemum first, I will give him an official title!"
Chu Hongyu threw out the bait, and the children immediately became motivated and tried their best to rush to the other side's boat.
"You guys are stupid, and you keep saying that I'm stupid." Lin Dongdong, a loyal minister, was on the same boat as Chu Hongyu. He stood on the side and said, "There are wooden blocks on the shore. Use the wooden blocks to build a bridge and you can cross over. Hurry!"
The two sides rowed fiercely and competed for the wooden blocks.
Finally, they got the wooden blocks and placed them on the decks of the two ships as bridges, but the wooden blocks were actually taken away by the other party...
Chu Hongyu always stood at the bow of the boat, holding his chin, frowning, thinking hard.
"Plop!"
Someone fell into the water and the boat capsized.
At this time, the Minister of Industry also came back.
"Little bastard, what are you doing again!" Master Chen, the Minister of Industry, saw the mess in the back garden and was very angry. "If you don't study hard every day, you only engage in these idiots. See if I don't beat you to death. You are so evil. Why? I stop!"
Chen San was soaked all over. While he was busy avoiding his father's beating, he turned around and winked at Chu Hongyu.
Chu Hongyu herself felt guilty, so she quickly gathered the remaining people, fled the Chen Mansion quickly, took a carriage, changed into eunuch clothes, and returned to the palace...
Chen San was whipped twice by the Minister of Works and knelt at the door of the ancestral hall.
"Last time, you swore to your ancestors that you would study hard! Now, it is the time for the emperor to study. Why don't you gather a bunch of friends to come to the house instead of accompanying him in the palace?"
Chen San gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry waved his long whip: "If you keep talking tough, I will whip you to death today. You will save yourself a lot of trouble!"
"Sir!" Mrs. Li quickly protected her son, "He is only eight years old. He is still young and ignorant. Give him another chance!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry roared angrily: "It's not a question of whether there is a chance or not. It's because he swore a poisonous oath himself and broke the oath. He should be beaten to death!"
Snap, whip it down.
"Speak, San'er, tell me quickly, or your father will really beat you to death..."
Mrs. Li cried.
Chen San also started crying, and couldn't help but said: "Then let me ask dad, which one is more important, the oath or the emperor's order?"
The Minister of Industry and Commerce narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"It's the emperor!" Chen San felt extremely wronged, "Can I still disobey the emperor's order?"
"What?" The whip in the Minister of Industry's hand fell to the ground, and he was in disbelief, "Your Majesty..."
He didn't look carefully at the group of half-grown children wearing similar clothes, but he never would have guessed that among them was the current emperor!
He quickly asked, "What is the emperor doing here?"
"Didn't you see everything?" Chen San yelled back, "If you don't bow to the emperor when you see him, I tell you, you are finished, and our Chen family is finished!"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry was too lazy to deal with this unfulfilled son and went to ask the servants in the government.
I learned that the emperor came to the house with a group of companions just to row boats and play in the water, and did nothing else serious.
He couldn't help but sigh.
The little emperor was still too young and didn't know the important affairs of the country. As soon as he ascended the throne, he sneaked out of the palace to play around. The Jin Dynasty was in danger.
But he couldn't say anything yet, because once he said it openly, people in the court would definitely impeach his son for leading the little emperor.
Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry has never been taken seriously by the court, and he is often criticized for being cowardly. The feeling of being impeached is not pleasant.
Now I just hope that the emperor will not come again and this matter will be treated as if it never happened.
Who would have guessed.
When he went to court the next day, the young emperor openly rewarded his son with the best inkstone, saying that his son was smart and eager to learn, so he deserved a reward.
He had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, a group of people came to Chen's house to play in the water again...
For at least seven or eight days in a row, the little emperor brought eight companions to play every day, which made the minister of the Ministry of Industry really unable to hold on any longer.
"The Queen Mother, I am guilty!"
The Minister of Industry bent his knees and knelt in front of Yunchu.
Yun Chu hurriedly said: "Master Chen, get up quickly and don't give such a big ceremony. What happened?"
"I..." Minister of the Ministry of Industry stood up, "Quinzi is the Emperor's companion and does not accompany the Emperor in his studies, but..."
"But what?"
"But he takes the emperor to my house every day to play in the water..." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said with a heart, "I thought that the emperor just wanted to row a boat on a whim, so he didn't report it as soon as he learned about it, but he didn't expect that the emperor actually I asked someone to renovate three ships and move them into my home. I’m afraid I’ll have to sneak out of the palace and have fun at my home in the next few months... The Queen Mother, please take care of the emperor."
Yunchu's hand paused.
Every afternoon, it's Brother Yu's time to study in the imperial study room.
Because Mr. Ouyang was replaced as the emperor's master, she was very relieved and never went there again.
How could such an incredible thing happen?
She said: "Master Chen, don't be anxious. The emperor is young and playful. The Ai family will not blame you. We are just afraid that it will bring trouble to Master Chen."
"No trouble, no trouble at all!"
The Minister of Industry and Commerce waved his hand quickly.
As long as the emperor doesn't come again, it's better than anything else, otherwise the whole government will be trembling with fear, fearing that something will happen to the emperor while he is rowing and playing in the water.
Yunchu asked someone to go to the imperial study room to inquire about the news.
Not long after, Tingshuang came back and reported: "Master Xu used to have classes for two hours, but now Mr. Ouyang only attends for half an hour every day. During the rest of the time, the emperor sneaks out of the palace to play with others."
Yun Chu was in no hurry to go to the Chen Mansion to find someone.
Instead, Tingshuang was asked to wait in the imperial study room.
It was only in the evening that Chu Hongyu returned to the palace.
"My servant has met the Emperor." Tingshuang lowered his head and saluted, "The Queen Mother has prepared a meal and invites the Emperor to come and have a meal with her."
Chu Hongyu was tired in the Chen Mansion, so he asked someone to carry him to Kangning Palace in a sedan chair.
As soon as Yun Chu saw his son like this, he knew that he was very tired now.
She had the meal brought to her and asked, "Why are you so tired? Is your study heavy?"
"Mom, actually, I haven't studied hard these days." Chu Hongyu looked into Yun Chu's eyes and said, "But don't worry, mom, I know everything the teacher teaches, so I will do other things."
Yunchu's voice was very gentle: "What else is it?"
"Can I not tell my mother yet?" Chu Hongyu blinked, "When the results come out, I will give everyone a surprise."
"good."
Yun Chu should come down.
She believed that her son would not act recklessly.
But the minister of the Ministry of Industry needs to be comforted.
The next day, Mrs. Chen, Minister of Industry, received a reward from the Queen Mother.
Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "..."
It's over, it's over, the emperor is willful, the queen mother is conniving, and the country of Jin is in danger.
