Chapter 119 Painting Cakes (12500+ update is complete, continue to ask for monthly tickets!)
Zhao Xu took a nice nap.

After getting up and washing up, he changed into regular clothes, went to Kunning Hall to greet the Queen Mother, and then went to Baoci Palace to greet the Empress Dowager.

He told the two palaces that he wanted to meet Shen Kuo alone today.

Because Zhao Xu had already greeted him many days in advance.

It was also because of Zhao Xu's addition to the Gao family and Mrs. Xiang's wife this morning.

With smiles and encouragement, both palaces let Zhao Xu do this.

Of course, they were somewhat worried, so the Empress Dowager summoned Feng Jing, and the Empress Dowager summoned Shi Deyi, and told the two ministers to serve the emperor carefully.

So, as soon as the application time arrived, Zhao Xu got on the imperial chariot from Funing Hall on time, and under the guard of Yu Longzhi, went to the side hall behind Chongzheng Hall located between Baoci Palace and Inner East Gate.

Chongzheng Hall is also the Hall of Rites, where the palace examinations are held.

In addition to being used as an examination room for the palace examination, it will also be used as a place for Liao envoys to worship.

Well, in some years, the envoys of the Thieves will also meet here.

In addition, Korean and Japanese monks came to the DPRK and received them here.

The side hall of the Chongzheng Hall is generally used as a place where the emperor meets his ministers.

……

Under the guidance of a courtier, Shen Kuo walked carefully into the inner east gate.

Everything here is extremely familiar to him.

Because from the fourth year of Xining to the eighth year of Xining, he went in and out of here every day.

Especially after the Emperor Daxing appointed him to the Military Weapons Supervision to preside over the reform of the Military Weapons Supervision, almost every few days, he would play in front of the emperor and report the affairs of the Military Weapons Supervision.

Therefore, when Shen Kuo heard that Emperor Daxing's last order was for him to be appointed as a military supervisor, he immediately burst into tears.

Military weapons supervisor was a turning point in his career, which made him deeply trusted and valued by Emperor Daxing.

The fault was not the defeat of Yongle City. At this moment, he should have been the head of the three provinces and two prefectures.

"Shen Tiju...and wait here..." The courtier led Shen Kuo to the door of the side hall behind the Chongzheng Hall, and said to Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo nodded.

The decree is that at the moment of Shen Shi, he is a courtier, so of course he has to come early.

Under the eaves in front of the hall gate, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Kuo heard a voice coming from the hall.

Shen Kuo, who used to be handsome along the border, knew from the sound that it was a team of soldiers.

It should be Yu Longzhi next to the emperor, checking the facilities inside and outside the hall, searching those corners, to see if there are any potential safety hazards, and to see if there are any aging facilities.

In order to avoid the situation that the emperor Daxing built a new jade cymbal, but the new jade cymbal built with a lot of manpower and material resources was crushed by a building in Ouchi.

After a while, the voices of those soldiers disappeared from the hall.

Immediately afterwards, several teams of Yulongzhi wearing Zhongjia lined up from the corridors on both sides, leaning tightly against the wall in front of the hall, forming a human wall.

Seeing this, Shen Kuo frowned.

"Emperor Daxing called the ministers to secretly discuss the law reform regulations, that's all it is..."

After a while, Shen Kuo was finally summoned.

"Promote the official of the bureau dedicated to the manufacture of military weapons, and play in front of the imperial court!"

Shen Kuo raised his head: "Imperial duet?!"

"Are you alone?"

"The young master summoned me alone?"

hiss!
Shen Kuo gasped!
The two palaces actually rest assured that the young master summoned him alone?And the young master is willing to summon him alone?
what does this mean?
This is equivalent to saying that the two palaces feel that the young master already has a certain degree of independence.

At least the minister can be summoned alone to teach the opportunity face to face!

Moreover, the young master seems to think that he has this ability!
terrible!

Thinking about the legends that Tong Guan told along the way, Shen Kuo doubled those words silently in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Kuo respectfully held the imperial wat, and under the guidance of a courtier, walked up the steps, and walked into the small urinal hall of the Chongzheng Hall through the side door.

As soon as Shen Kuo entered the hall, he immediately noticed that under the pilasters in the hall, there was a Yulongzhi standing quietly on every other pillar.

And on the throne in the palace, a small figure, wearing Chu yellow uniform, sat on it.

Shen Kuo went up to His Highness with Chi-Fan, bowed twice, and then said: "I want to mention the minister Kuo of the Military Weapons Manufacturing Bureau, I wish His Majesty the Emperor all blessings!"

"I am blessed!"

The immature child's voice came from the hall.

"Shen Kuo!" said the little emperor, "raise your head!"

Shen Kuo was surprised for a moment, but still raised his head.

The Son of Heaven on the throne stood up and walked to the imperial steps. He seemed to be very careful up and down, inside and out, as if he had discovered a Kunlun slave in the Tang Dynasty, and sized him up several times.

This made Shen Kuo very disturbed and a little baffled.

"Do I look weird?"

……

Zhao Xu naturally had reasons to be curious about Shen Kuo's appearance.

This is a great scientist who is still recognized even after 900 years!

After 900 years, a book of Mengxi written talks has fascinated countless people and made countless imaginations run wild.

I don't know how many of the things recorded in it are world-wide pioneering inventions.

And now, Shen Kuo, who is still a great scientist even after 900 years, is just his courtier!
You can order him to do everything at any time, and the other party will definitely be willing to do it, and will never think that Zhao Xu is squeezing and exploiting him.

However, after careful observation for a long time, Zhao Xu discovered that Shen Kuo was actually just an ordinary person, not a superman, and there was nothing special about him.

That is, a little more beard, thicker eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that are a little bigger than ordinary people.

So, he started talking.

"Shen Aiqing..."

"The minister is..."

"You know Emperor Daxing, why did you leave Aiqing to me?" Zhao Xu asked softly.

Shen Kuo shook his head: "I'm stupid..."

"Because the father said..." Zhao Xu's words were like a magic voice: "The one who can end the world's troubled times and bring the world into one..."

"Only Shen Cunzhong!"

Shen Kuo listened, his hands and feet were trembling.

Does Emperor Daxing value me so much?
Did Emperor Daxing expect so much from me?

At this moment, Shen Kuo even felt that he was Zhuge Kongming who was left alone by Han Zhaolie.

So, he immediately bowed and said: "The minister is despicable, and the emperor Daxing loves to praise him so much, he is really ashamed!"

"We only tie a grass ring to repay the favor of Emperor Daxing for being met, and to repay His Majesty's grace!"

Zhao Xu looked at Shen Kuo's appearance, listened to his words, and nodded slightly in his heart.

The cake painting technique learned during the study abroad period has not regressed.

"Do you know why Father would say that?" Zhao Xu continued to draw cakes.

Shen Kuo raised his head and stared blankly at the little emperor who had already walked in front of the imperial steps.

"Because my father, like me, believes that Shen Aiqing has talents and learning that can change the world!"

Shen Kuo's breathing became short of breath.

He listened to the emperor's words, and also felt the emperor's expression, the emperor's eyes, and the emperor's voice...

All made Shen Kuo's body excited.

The chest that was already dry was hot again.

The icy body seemed to be infused with raging flames.

Eight-year-old emperor, eight-year-old official.

I am looking forward to him, and I am also longing for him, to show his talent and learning, to show his talent.

Shen Kuo then prostrated himself on the ground and worshiped: "I should try my best to be loyal, for the Emperor Daxing and for His Majesty, I will do my best until I die!"

"Good!" Shen Kuo only listened to the little official, and said in a childish voice with incomparable sincerity: "If you don't fail me, I will never fail you!"

This is... this is... how to be met?How Long?

Shen Kuo had no choice but to bow his head and bow again, swearing to die!
