This...is this the emperor? Not to mention when he was the mayor, even when he just returned from his job and was appointed as the deputy mayor, no one below him dared to criticize him like this.

Are these the emperor and ministers?

At this time, Zhao Zhen seemed to feel that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. He thought that by letting go of the yamen, only one or two husband-in-laws would be left in the center. Who would have thought that almost everyone would be there.

There was actually no one in the Political Hall and the Privy Council, not even the Censor.

I also didn’t explain it clearly to my servants...

Zhao Xi couldn't help but speak out when he saw his father's appearance, this scene, and his expression.

The queen stopped her with a look. Not to mention Zhao Xi, even she was not suitable to get involved at this time.

There's always someone who can climb the slope, otherwise the donkey won't be able to get off.

"There is indeed something wrong with Your Majesty's raising of troops and mobilizing a large number of people. It concerns Prince E. Perhaps Your Majesty's actions are indeed necessary. Now that we have reached this point, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Well! This old man was reasonable, not impulsive, considerate, neither impatient nor impatient, and did not offend both parties, thus giving face to both parties.

"What Prime Minister Du said is true. Please be patient and wait and see how playful Prince E is, causing His Majesty to act like this."

Another one that will lighten the mood.

Zhao Zhen, who was originally extremely excited, calmed down at this time. He lost the excitement he had in Ciming Palace and ordered the eunuchs to place the building blocks in an orderly manner.

"My dear Sirs, this is a game created by Prince E. There is no limit to the number, you can take it horizontally, but you can't cross it."

The eunuch arranged them so neatly that you can't even tell the difference between the blocks. Fortunately, they are long blocks. If they were square blocks, there would be no distinction between horizontal and vertical blocks.

"My dear sirs, Prince E is now in charge. You can discuss it together or alone. The one who takes the wood in the end loses."

This eunuch memorizes the rules very quickly. It's exactly right, that's it.

Zhao Xi bowed and bowed to the princes. Even his father, the emperor, had been reprimanded. As a prince, he had better not provoke these people who are very good at spraying for the time being. It doesn't matter if they spray on his clothes, but the smell of spraying on his face is too strong.

This group of people are all top-notch people, not the maids and eunuchs in the palace, nor the father and queen. They are all elites who came from thousands of armies.

Although Zhao Xi knows a little bit about it these days, he knows that mathematics is not paid much attention to in this era, at least there is no mathematics in the exam.

But the group of people he came into contact with was too special. In addition to palace maids and eunuchs, they were royal relatives and ladies.

This was his first contact with the elite of this era, his first contact with scholar-bureaucrats. He was still a little nervous, so naturally he no longer took it lightly.

First it was Fan Zhongyan. The old man was very annoyed and didn't think a three or four year old child could play many difficult games.

He also knew that the prince was smart, but in his opinion, he was just a little bit better than ordinary people. With the status of a prince, even that little bit would be blown away.

So he didn't even think about it and just took it, quite casually.

It was very embarrassing. Lao Fan was very embarrassed. His anger had not yet been vented. When he reached out again, he found that there was only one building block left on the table.

At this time, he also knew that he had lost, and he didn't even know how.

The old man was very straightforward. He put the blocks away in a carefree manner and said cheerfully: Come again!

It came again, but he lost again. It was not until the end of the five rounds that he finally withdrew first.

This...this is mathematics, but he needs to think.

We are all thinking, but we can’t let the place get cold, right? A child challenges the center, and no one dares to challenge him? Even if they are just playing, these gentlemen cannot lose face.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be an embarrassing evening.

For Zhao Xi, a monstrous child with the same intelligence as them, the same age, and countless times more familiarity with games, their entire hubby's husband was capsized in a small gutter.

Seeing each husband's expression becoming more and more solemn and their expressions becoming more and more ugly, Zhao Zhen felt very happy at this time... so happy.

Didn’t you say that my mobilization of troops was not worthy? You have defeated my son?

I have been bothered by this new policy during this period, and I am no longer close to my son. I don’t even know that Xi’er is so capable.

Okay, this can also shock these scholars. I, Zhao Zhen, am a bit weak, but I have Xi'er who is so smart that she is evil!

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

From Fan Zhongyan all the way to Ouyang Xiu at Yushitai, after the round was completed, each player had no less than five rounds, but no one had won once.

“Where does this playfulness come from?”

Finally I couldn't help but ask.

"Fan Xianggong, this was created by Xi'er and my servants because they were robbing building blocks. Today is the first time I have seen it. I feel that I am unable to understand the mathematics, so I invite you to judge."

Zhao Zhen was not too complacent. He still explained very humbly, but the expression on his face was obviously showing off.

It's too shameful to stop playing.

All you gentlemen also know that there should be a simple rule here, but the method of numerology needs to be deduced calmly, and there is no suitable environment at this time.

So I stopped playing. And Zhao Xi’s monster seems to be taking over.

As far as the knowledge of the princes is concerned, they should be considered top-notch in the entire Song Dynasty. They have not seen or heard about this play from other sources, and no one has the ability to understand the inner garden. The only one left is this prince.

.

This is not about knowing how to play or having played for a long time. This is about originality.

There was no curfew in the Song Dynasty. At this time in Kaifeng City, the real time for scholars to drink and write poems had not yet begun.

The window curtains of Yanfu Palace have just been lowered, the giant candles are lit, and the entire Yanfu Palace is brightly lit.

At this time, the eunuchs and maids who were conscientious in their duties also stretched their necks and tilted their ears, trying to think clearly about the confrontation between the prince and the princes.

Prince E's intelligence and understanding have always been spread word of mouth in the palace. However, their duties are different and they have never had the opportunity to see Prince E's style. But today...it's a pity that we can't go around.

"Your Majesty, everyone, can you wait for me for a moment?"

Although everyone didn't know why the mature and prudent Du Yan and Du Shichang made such a request, they all nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the emperor has messed him up, so he can't do his business. Just look at what Du Shichang means by waiting.

Du Yan left in a hurry. The remaining few couldn't just sit around like this.

Therefore, when Zhao Zhen ordered the meal to be prepared, Fu Bi asked for paper and pen, and a brisk eunuch had already polished them.

Zhao Xi didn't know what he was going to do. He thought it was just to test himself.

They can't judge a new play at all. Next, they will definitely get some based on judgment and let them try it based on the play's ability to evaluate the intelligence of young children.

I'm afraid the one who left was rummaging through the bottom of the box.

Zhao Xi is not worried that in later generations, his childhood will be deprived, but his son, until he became an adult, has never stopped playing educational games. He does not talk nonsense, just the traditional so-called family secret games.

There is nothing unfamiliar to him.
