Chapter 11 Complaint
In order to have more arguments when making a complaint, Yun Shu perked up and listened carefully to the entire day's classes.
Master Cui didn't know what she was really thinking, and just thought she was giving in.
When he walked out of the study in the afternoon, his face was full of pride, as if he had won a battle.
But Yunshu turned around and went to the imperial study!
At that time, Emperor Xuanwu had already learned from the Dragon Shadow Guard what happened after he left today. He heard the eunuch Li Dehai beside him come in to report that Yun Shuzhen had come to complain to him.
He was still quite curious, after all, nothing like this had ever happened before -
He is a father, but also an emperor.
When it came to things like conflicts with the Grand Tutor in the Upper Study, it was considered good that the princes did not ask their mothers to help cover up and deal with the aftermath. How could they take the initiative to bring the matter to him?
This Xiaowu is quite interesting!
Putting aside the paper in front of him that he had written with a feather pen, Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows:
"Let her in."
"Yes."
Li Dehai responded.
Not long after, a snow-blue figure walked in from outside, and bowed politely as well.
But compared to the first time I came here the day before yesterday, it was obviously more vivid and lively.
Maybe it’s because… I got closer to him?
Thinking of the fact that he had indeed neglected his daughter for many years, Emperor Xuanwu's expression couldn't help but become more gentle.
Of course, we still have to continue pretending not to know something:
"Why, are you so impatient to get the reward?"
"Father said that the reward would be delivered directly to my son's palace. Why do I need to come and get it myself?"
Yunshu is also a person who is very good at taking advantage of opportunities.
After spending several times with him, I realized that Emperor Xuanwu was indeed as described in the books, an emperor who was relatively lenient towards his children and would not lose his temper as long as they did not make any principled mistakes.
As her tension was relieved, she was able to skillfully use the moves that had once made her particularly popular with her elders.
"Father, I don't like Master Cui!"
"dislike?"
Emperor Xuanwu laughed.
He was wondering how this kid was going to complain!
I didn't expect him to be so childish. He didn't even beat around the bush and just said straight out that he didn't like it!
Normally, one has to go around in circles to say a word to those old foxes in the court. Even when returning to the harem, those seemingly gentle concubines all have their own little thoughts.
It was rare to have such a brainless conversation, so Emperor Xuanwu was naturally very tolerant. When he spoke, there was even a hint of mockery in his tone:
"Just because he punished you to copy the Doctrine of the Mean?"
"No, if it was just because of this, I should have come to complain to you yesterday!"
Yun Shu looked aggrieved:
"I just think that Master Cui is narrow-minded!"
"Oh?"
Emperor Xuanwu was once again amused by her straightforward choice of words:
"Why is he so petty?"
"At once……"
She twisted her fingers around the belt, as if only at this moment did she finally realize that her act of complaining was a little childish.
But since she was already here, she could only continue a little embarrassedly:
"Today he wrongly accused me of hiring someone to write for me, didn't you promise on his behalf that I would be exempted from the remaining nine copies of the punishment?
Imperial Tutor Cui turned around and punished his son by making him copy "The Great Learning" twenty times. This was obviously intentional!
And as for the matter of the feather pen, it seems that the Grand Tutor really hates this thing. When he was teaching today, he kept extending the idea that a gentleman should behave in an elegant and proper manner, and every time he said this, he would look at me.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, I always felt that he was calling me rude with his eyes!
the most important is……"
Yun Shu paused for a moment, as if hesitating whether to continue.
Finally, she mustered up her courage and continued:
"Most importantly, I feel that Master Cui looks down on the common people! He is always vulgar, and every word he says shows his disdain for vulgar people. But from what Master Cui said, I'm afraid that all the common people in this world are the vulgar people he refers to!
Father, you don't look down on the people, so why should Master Cui look down on the people?"
No one in power would like aristocratic families with deep roots and extensive networks.
It can be said that every emperor in history was wary and suppressive towards the aristocratic families.
Yun Shu was not sure if the doubled copying punishment would make Emperor Xuanwu agree to replace Master Cui.
So she used a childish way of speaking to reveal the side of Master Cui that Emperor Xuanwu disliked the most.
As expected, Emperor Xuanwu, who had been laughing when he heard her accuse Cui Taifu of "scolding her with his eyes", gradually straightened the curve of his lips after hearing the following part.
Since Imperial Tutor Cui came from an aristocratic family, his heart naturally sided with them, and Emperor Xuanwu was very clear about this.
But he shouldn't try to pass on such ideas to the princes and princesses through the opportunity of teaching!
Even Xiao Wu, who was uneducated and had only been there for two days, could hear that Master Cui despised the common people and admired the so-called "gentlemen".
One can imagine how obvious Master Cui’s expression was!
Emperor Xuanwu frowned and was about to ask someone to summon Cui Xiude, the old man.
The familiar light curtain suddenly unfolded in front of him again.
【The Sims selection system is at your service.
Please select the decision you would like to make next:
A. Summon Master Cui, scold him, and replace the Masters for Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan;
B. Reprimand Yunshu and tell her to study hard in the study room and not to daydream all day;
C. Try to find a way to appease Yunshu and don’t deal with this matter for now. 】
Is there anything worth worrying about?
Emperor Xuanwu decisively chose the first one in his mind.
[You chose A and received Yunshu's gratitude. ]
Emperor Xuanwu: “?”
That's it?
Gone? ?
Knowing that the Sims selection system never pops up something as meaningless as this,
Emperor Xuanwu hesitated and clicked on the following pages.
[You chose B. Yunshu was angry and aggrieved. She secretly cursed you in her heart and would never get close to you again.]
Emperor Xuanwu: “…”
He knew this option was unreliable.
The kid is quite hot-tempered!
After glancing at Yun Shu calmly, Emperor Xuanwu quickly clicked on the third option.
[You chose C, the number of poor students has been greatly increased! ]
what?
Emperor Xuanwu was stunned.
He had asked Yunshu to return to the upper study room to study because of this incident.
I thought Yun Shu had already responded to this statement by taking out the feather pen today.
But I didn’t expect that it wasn’t?
