Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 38 The first day of promotion

Originally, teaching was beyond the scope of Zhao Kang, a sixth-rank minister, but who made His Highness the Prince favor him so much?

Master Yang was still in court, so Xiao Xuance asked the eunuch to call Zhao Kang.

When he arrived at the study room, Zhao Kang straightened his clothes and then walked in. Many eyes fell on him. The most eye-catching one was of course Xiao Xuance, who was wearing a yellow robe.

Looking at the red marks on Xiao Xuance's exposed arms, Zhao Kang smiled meaningfully. It seemed that His Majesty listened to his words and executed them quickly.

"Zhao Kang, Zhao Kang, you're here. Hurry up and teach His Highness how to make gunpowder! Hurry up, I've got all the materials ready!"

I saw Xiao Xuance taking out large and small bags of things. After Zhao Kang's formula was handed over, Xiao Xuance secretly asked the eunuchs to bring them in from outside the palace.

Zhao Kang was a little speechless. His feelings were what made him become a chemistry teacher, right?
Are you afraid of blowing up the study room when you make gunpowder here?

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty does not allow me to prepare gunpowder in private." Zhao Kang said stiffly.

Just kidding, if I get it out for you and it injures you, why would that bitch still scratch herself alive?
Xiao Xuance's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just do it if His Highness asks you to do it. If anything happens, I'll be responsible for it!"

A teenage boy dares to be such a jerk to me. If I didn't see you as a prince, I would have let you taste the beatings from society!
This Xiao Xuance was just as the dog woman said, with a very naughty temperament. Zhao Kang also understood that when dealing with this kind of guy, he couldn't fight him forcefully, he could only distract him.

He smiled and said: "What's so fun about this gunpowder? If His Highness feels bored, I have other ways to relieve His boredom."

"What method?" Xiao Xuance raised his eyebrows.The other princes and princesses also expressed interest.

After looking around, Zhao Kang sat on the chair that only the old master was qualified to sit on.

Zhao Kang thought he did not have the ability to teach people.

But it's okay to fool these little guys and play with them.

He habitually crossed his legs and said, "Okay, today I will tell you a story. It is said that there is a village called America outside Yuanjiang County. One day, a guy named Thanos came..."

……

As soon as Master Yang left court, he rushed to the study room. As he walked, he asked the eunuchs beside him: "Your Highness, are they all here?"

"I arrived early in the morning. I heard from the people below that according to the request of Prince Xuance, the newly appointed Minister Zhao Kang was first called to the Shang Shufang."

The old master nodded, and then looked a little contemptuous: "He is just a minister, what can he teach at such a young age? Let's hurry up, lest he mislead his disciples."

The two of them quickened their pace, and as soon as they arrived outside the Shang Shu's room, they saw the eunuchs and maids surrounding them. They couldn't help but be confused as to what was happening.

When he walked in, he saw that Xiao Xuance and a group of princes and princesses had moved small benches to sit next to Zhao Kang in the study room. The newly appointed Zhan Shicheng was dancing and gesticulating.

"Then Thanos used the Cloud Smoke Sun Formation, which caused the gods to cry and howl. Of course, I will not allow him to be rampant. His backhand was a Buddha's Angry Fire Lotus, which hit the sky and the darkness..."

"What happened next?" A prince asked quickly.

Xiao Xuance slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't interrupt!"

"Later, I was a sliding shovel..."

Zhao Kang said that he caught sight of the old master squeezing in through the door from the corner of his eyes, and quickly shut up. The old man's official uniform was of high quality. "Keep talking, why don't you say anything anymore?" Xiao Xuance was stunned.

Only then did Master Yang cough, which attracted everyone's attention, and the palace maids and eunuchs hurried away. After all, he was a teacher who had taught everyone for many years.

Seeing that he was still urging Zhao Kang, everyone who was telling the story hurriedly returned to their seats and looked at the melon seed shells and fruit peels on the ground, which the princes had eaten when they listened to the story.

The old master was so angry that he looked at Zhao Kang blowing his beard and stared: "This is nonsense, this is where the princes study! Look what has become now!"

Zhao Kang looked innocent and didn't care about his own business. What's the point of yelling at him all the time?
After everyone cleaned up the matter, the old master began to teach. Zhao Kang, as the minister, could only stand aside and listen. However, Master Zhao soon became dizzy and drowsy due to the sarcastic comments the old master said.

Looking below, Xiao Xuance was already lying on the desk and was slouching, and everyone else couldn't cheer up either.

Well, sure enough, no matter where you are, the desk in the classroom is always more comfortable than the bed.

Originally, Mrs. Yang was used to this kind of thing, but a sudden burst of snoring made the old master confused. When she turned around, she found that it was Zhao Kang who was sleeping against the wall.

The old master was immediately shocked. Did this guy not sleep last night?
Immediately, the old teacher got angry and slapped the desk with her ruler: "Zhao Kang!"

"Ah? What's wrong? get out of class is finally over? Take a walk and eat!"

Zhao Kang was woken up from his sleep and thought he was about to go out after class was finally over. His confused look made everyone laugh.

"Zhao Kang! His Majesty promoted you to Zhan Shicheng and asked you to teach and accompany you in reading. How dare you sleep in the study room!" The old lady was trembling with anger.

He originally despised Zhao Kang because of his young age.

And because I was dissatisfied with what happened before, how could I endure it now?
"It turns out that get out of class hasn't ended yet."

Zhao Kang muttered something and made the old master angry to death, and said angrily: "You are worthy of serving in Zhanshi Mansion if you have failed in your responsibilities like this!"

The noise also woke up Xiao Xuance. Seeing the old master's blushing face and thick neck, he suddenly found it interesting and pretended to be watching a show.

"Then how about you tell His Majesty and demote me back to Yuanjiang County?"

Zhao Kang yawned and felt a little unhappy, damn old guy, I'm not your student, why are you yelling at me?
The old master was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "How dare you contradict me! Believe it or not, I will give you a copy!"

Zhao Kang also lost his temper. After ruling Yuanjiang County for so many years, who dares to speak louder than me?

It’s okay for a bitch woman to bully me. I am an emperor and I don’t have the same level of experience as her. You old guy also wants to cause trouble for me, right?
"Then please hurry up and go to the toilet. Why don't you blame the toilet for not being able to poop? Why the hell are you so old-fashioned? Are you half buried in the dirt? Why don't you check to see if your ass is blocked?"

"Hahaha!"

It was the first time that Xiao Xuance, who saw someone daring to criticize the old master, couldn't hold back his laughter.

The old teacher was so angry that she couldn't speak. She turned to Xiao Xuance and said angrily: "Why are you laughing? Shut up! Rotten wood cannot be carved!"

Zhao Kang, who had fooled Her Majesty the Empress into beating Xiao Xuance yesterday, snorted: "Master, please be careful with your words. You are just His Highness's teacher! Your Highness is a prince, and he might still be an emperor in the future. Please show some respect!"

Since you want to quarrel with someone, you should first find an accomplice. When the provincial bitch woman comes to settle the score with you, she won’t even have anyone to back you up!
