He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Since the public security officer has spoken, I will let it go, but I won't do it next time."

"Definitely, definitely", Ande Quan hurriedly bowed one after another, and then shouted to the two eunuchs, "I still haven't thanked Mr. Liu Yuan."

Shi Zhongkui didn't want to offend Ande Quan too much. He stepped aside and said with a smile, "Mr. An, in the Queen's decree, it is said that the eight beauties are given to the lower official to add fragrance to the red sleeves?"

Ande Quan's heart tightened, but he couldn't figure out what Shi Zhongkui was thinking.

He could only say cautiously, "My Majesty meant that since Mr. Liu Yuan didn't have any maids to serve him, I gave you the eight beauties."

Shi Zhongkui chuckled and thanked him for the location in the palace.

Then he said to Ande Quan, "I am the Zuo Shuzi of Zhan Shifu, and I am responsible for supervising the studies of the prince and princess.

From now on, I will handle government affairs at the Hanlin Academy on single days.

Shuangji met at Zuochunfang, Zhanshi Mansion, together with Zuo Zhongyun, Zuo Zanshan, Zhu Bo and other colleagues.

Organize and improve the imperial examination and training collection for princes of the Zhou Dynasty formulated by Zhan Shifu in the Taizu Dynasty, so that it can be used by your majesty and the empress to teach princes and princesses."

Andequan understood what Shi Zhongkui meant as soon as he heard it, but he had no reason to stop him, and he didn't even dare to speak.

Otherwise, if an internal prison officer interferes with the courtiers' business and hinders the prince's study, the queen and mother-in-law will plead guilty.

Sure enough, I heard him say to the two young eunuchs, "My two father-in-laws, please take these eight girls to Zuo Chunfang of Zhan Shi Mansion.

In the future, I will need them to polish, search for documents, and bind manuscripts for me."

"this,,,."

The two young eunuchs suddenly looked at Andequan in embarrassment.

Andequan cursed in his heart that Shi Zhongkui was indeed as cunning as His Majesty said.

He caught the Empress's loophole and didn't say clearly that she gave these eight beauties to him as concubines. She actually sent them to Zhan Shifu, where there were only a few serious officials.

Ande didn't care about the life or death of these eight women, but if he didn't even enter the Shi family's door, he couldn't be considered a member of the Shi family at all.

Not to mention Shi Zhongkui's jokes, if this matter spreads to the outside world, the world will only praise him for his cleverness, and then secretly laugh at the queen.

After thinking about it, I could only speak with benevolence and righteousness, "Sir, are you really willing to let these eight charming girls waste their time, their youth passing away, and they grow old alone behind the high wall?"

Baochai, Yingchun and the other maids felt their hearts tighten again.

If my husband is soft-hearted, then these eight beauties will definitely enter the Shi family.

If my husband becomes cruel, some people will accuse him of having no mercy.

Baochai and Yingchun's faces turned pale, and they looked at Shi Zhongkui with anxiety in their hearts.

But Shi Zhongkui sneered. He just avoided the kneeling ceremony of the two young eunuchs just to save Ander some face, and by the way, he also saved some face for the Queen.

But he didn't expect that in order to complete the task, the old eunuch would use morality and benevolence to bully him.

In this case, don't blame yourself for being unkind.

He smiled and said, "Superintendent An, I left these eight foreign girls in Zhan Shifu because I planned to teach them the etiquette and morality of the country.

How can this teaching of enlightenment become a waste of time in your mouth?

Could it be that, in your eyes, the way of the saint is a crooked way that destroys human nature and prohibits human relations?"

As soon as these words came out, An Dequan turned pale with fright. He pointed at Shi Zhongkui with trembling fingers, but he couldn't say anything.

Shi Zhongkui snorted, and I pressed down his dignity with the hat of etiquette. Not to mention a eunuch, even the emperor had to be subdued.

He looked at Xia Shouzhong and said, "Xia Shouzhong, do you think the same as Eunuch An?"

Xia Shouzhong was so frightened that he took two steps back, waving his hands with fear on his face.

"Master Shi, our family has always respected teachers and respected their teachings, and we respect and support the words of saints. Please don't misunderstand us."

Xia Shouzhong almost said that we are in the same group.

Shi Zhongkui snorted coldly, probably understanding that it was only the queen who wanted to cause trouble for him.

At most, the emperor just wanted to laugh at himself.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongkui shouted to Yu Shun, "Go get the Four Books and Five Classics. I want to see if the words of the saints are worthless in the eyes of Eunuch An, or are they as heavy as a thousand catties."

This is driving people to death.

The phrase 'as heavy as a thousand catties' obviously forced Ander to kneel down.

Yu Shun shouted "yes" excitedly, and hurriedly went to get the book with the others.

Xia Shouzhong simply shrank his neck and carefully took a few steps to the side, away from Ande Quan who was already sweating on his forehead.

After what happened today, the man named An was deceived by Shi Zhongkui.

If you don't kneel down and admit your mistake, you will definitely be forced by the Manchu civil servants to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Otherwise, you are going against all the scholars in the world.

And with this kneeling, people named An will not be able to raise their heads in the palace from now on.

Ande Quan, who also thought of this, struggled for a while with a pale face.

In the end, I couldn't resist the pressure, and I didn't want to cause trouble for the Queen.

He knelt down on the ground with a thud, "Six Yuan Gong, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Please forgive me for once because I am dim-sighted and did it unintentionally."

"You bastard," Shi Zhongkui shouted angrily, "I am teaching you to know etiquette and understand etiquette, so why should I let you off?

Could it be that you think that I am using the teachings of Confucius and Saints to oppress you?"

An Dequan secretly scolded him for being a bully, but when he saw that Shi Zhongkui still wasn't fooled, he became angry and finally gave in.

Just now, whenever Shi Zhongkui said "let him go" or "don't let him go", the matter turned into a personal vendetta, and it was Shi Zhongkui who was deliberately looking for trouble.

But it was said to be a teaching, and An Dequan could only listen obediently.

Outsiders have no reason to trouble him.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui, as the leader of the Six Yuan Dynasties and a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy, was qualified enough to say that he could teach a eunuch.

Not long after, Yu Shun came back with dozens of books in his arms.

Shi Zhongkui grabbed a book and rolled it up, then patted An Dequan on the shoulder, making An Dequan kneel lower.

Xia Shouzhong on the side also subconsciously shrank his shoulders, secretly thinking that he was lucky that he didn't cause trouble to Shi Zhongkui, otherwise he would be the one being taught a lesson now.

Shi Zhongkui didn't have many happy thoughts. It depends on the owner to beat the dog.

The queen was deliberately looking for trouble, and Ander didn't know how to advance or retreat. If he fought back on his own, no one would be able to say anything.

But the emperor would not be willing to slap the queen on the face, and even the emperor might not be willing to see his daughter-in-law bullied by ministers.

Moreover, there will definitely be some people among the civil and military officials who will take the opportunity to embarrass themselves.

Shi Zhongkui quickly made his decision and said in a loud voice, "The Taizu of this dynasty often said that the Great Zhou followed the teachings of Confucius and Mencius to educate the world.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has often said that scholars are the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty.

The queen also told her subordinates today that the prince's study is related to the stability of the world.

Andequan, today the Japanese officials will punish you to copy the Four Books and Five Classics once within one year, you must be convinced."

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced." As soon as he heard Shi Zhongkui's words, An Dequan understood that Shi Zhongkui wanted to make big things into small things and make small things into small things.

I just thought that when I recovered, I would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge.

But Shi Zhongkui had already expected this.

He smiled and said, "Mr. An, I heard that Xingyuan Hou Zeng Mingchun has studied hard since he was a child and is quite talented in literature. Please go back and report to the Queen.

I would like to invite Marquis Xingyuan as my deputy to jointly organize and improve the examination and training collection for the princes of Huang Zhou.

If Marquis Xingyuan is indeed talented, I would like to recommend him to concurrently serve as Zuo Yude of Zuo Chunfang."

After hearing this, Ande looked at Shi Zhongkui in surprise and saw a sneer on his lips.

I immediately realized that he had read all my thoughts.

Now he is wooing the queen's brother, and is clearly placing Xingyuan Marquis Zeng Mingchun in Zhan Shifu, who is responsible for educating the prince. Needless to say, the purpose is to plan for the future.

Even if the queen knew that this was Shi Zhongkui's show of goodwill, she could only give up Ande Quan and make plans for her brother and the future.

If the prince was born by the queen herself, and his biological uncle was watching, the safety factor would definitely be much higher.

If the queen never gives birth to a legitimate son, Zeng Mingchun's stay in Zhan Shifu can also stabilize the queen's status to a certain extent.

After all, all the princes are nominally the sons of the queen, and the three princes have already been raised by the queen.

Andequan suddenly became more honest and even flattered Shi Zhongkui to prevent the queen from really giving up on him.

Xia Shouzhong on the side once again realized how powerful Shi Zhongkui was.

Don't be too lazy with the methods of dividing, co-opting, and using power to overwhelm others.

Baochai and Yingchun's faces were flushed with excitement at this time, and they even looked at Shi Zhongkui with some confusion and admiration in their eyes.

The guards, young eunuchs, Shi family servants and eight beauties present looked at Shi Zhongkui with the same admiration and fear.

It is simply unheard of for the two eunuchs beside the emperor and the empress to be suppressed and submissive by a fifth-grade civil servant at the same time.
