Sure enough, as Fu Si expected, Zhou Mo came to the post in a wheelchair, and told Fu Si solemnly: "The seismograph is not small, and the direction is southeast."

Fu Si frowned: "There are Chenzhou and Lingzhou in the southeast. Lingzhou has many hills and hills and is sparsely populated. If there is an earthquake here, the damage will not be too great; if it is Chenzhou, it is adjacent to Wu and is densely populated. Unbelievable..."

The two did not avoid Fang Zheng when they talked. Fu Si looked at Fang Zheng's expression, as if he didn't know that he had handed over the seismograph to the Zhou family, so he couldn't help guessing their relationship.

Hearing the word Chenzhou, Fangzheng glanced at Zhou Mo, and said, "If the seismograph is really effective, and unfortunately the earthquake happened in Chenzhou, report this matter to the imperial court as soon as possible, and the imperial court will come up with relief and maintenance methods as soon as possible, even if it is just A day and a half ahead of time is also for the benefit of the common people, and it should be regarded as a great achievement by the First Prince. It’s just that this matter is mysterious, and the rules are meritorious, and not allowing it is a serious crime, and I don’t know how to report it to the court.”

Zhou Mo answered with a smile: "Before I came, I asked my grandfather to bring a seismograph to meet His Majesty. By now, His Majesty should have known the news."

Fangzheng frowned when he heard the words: "This is too hasty. How could Master Taifu agree?"

Zhou Mo tapped his knees briskly with his fingertips, "The crippled grandson just begged his grandfather this time, can he not agree?"

"Bullshit!"

"Oh, Mr. Fang knew I was messing around the first day?"

The two came and went, leaving Fu Si aside. Fu Si guessed that the two might be classmates and old friends who had known each other for a long time, but it seemed too...close?

Fu Si didn't have time to think about it, the eunuch Babao knocked on the door of the post house with sweat profusely, "Oh, the eldest prince is here! The servant is easy to find! Oh, Mr. Zhou is also here!" Babao bowed his waist to Zhou Mo After saluting, Fu Si asked, "Elder-in-law is looking for me?"

"My God, the eldest prince, you seem to be okay!" Babao yelled, "Of course there is something! It's a big deal! Your Majesty is calling!"

After all, Babao was a stunned little eunuch, not as calm as his master Sixi, who led Fu Si into the palace, startled as if his tail had been stepped on along the way.

"Eldest Prince, it's not that you are a slave talking too much. Why do you waste your time in the capital? Your Majesty's kindness and power are unpredictable. It is impossible to guarantee that some kind of anger will be directed at you, Eldest Prince."

"This matter, I think this is not a small matter. Taifu Zhou brought something to His Majesty, and I saw His Majesty's expression was not very good from a distance outside the study, and I vaguely heard the word "earthquake...Elder Prince, I am afraid there is something wrong." Disaster is imminent!"

Babao chattered endlessly all the way, Fu Si put his hands behind his back and just thought it was the revival of all things in spring and the noise of grass and insects.Babao caught a glimpse of Fu Si's calm expression from the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help adding fuel and embellishment, saying that the emperor was waiting to eat people in the imperial study. Let me report."

Babao looked at Fu Si awkwardly, bowed up a few steps, and came to Master Sixi, "Master, the eldest prince is here."

Sixi swept the dust whisk in his hand, slapped Babao on Babao, and cast a blank stare at the ineffective apprentice, turned his head and walked down the steps to meet Fu Si, and warmly exchanged greetings: "Your Highness, it's warm and cold in spring, Your Highness Wearing thin clothes, I am afraid that His Majesty will feel distressed when he sees it!"

Fu Sidan smiled and said nothing.

She is also serving in the palace, Sixi is like a fine man, and she is the best at observing the situation and the situation.Looking at the emperor's expression in the imperial study room earlier, my heart has turned a hundred and eight thousand times——

Zhou Taifu took that weird gadget and said that he could predict earthquakes, and the emperor was overjoyed.Speaking of being from the First Prince, the emperor thought for a long time before he was summoned.

Babao caught the wind and ran away, thinking that the evil star was causing trouble again, and the way he spoke was extremely dangerous, so he hoped to see some fear from the poor prince's face.Although the picture does not do any good, it is always fun to watch a joke.Sixi didn't think so. Although the Eldest Prince had the reputation of being an evil star, he was the eldest son after all. He had been far away from the capital for many years without causing any disturbances. He was much more honest than those in Beijing.Now only a few days after returning to the capital, he actually got in touch with Zhou Taifu and made a mysterious seismograph. It's hard to say whether the emperor likes it or hates it.

But Sixi paid attention to Fu Si's demeanor, he was calm and composed, and Sixi bet on the treasure at that time——

The eldest prince must have made sufficient preparations for his return to Beijing this time, and he has a lot to do!It is the right way to curry favor early!

Fu Si followed Sixi into the imperial study room, said thank you, and knelt in front of Emperor Kang Yuan who was behind the desk, knocking his head and knocking loudly, "I am not filial, and I have not served in front of my father for many years. Now seeing father and dragon in good health, my son is overjoyed."

Emperor Kang Yuan was in his [-]s, but because he didn't have a crown prince, he was too busy with state affairs, and he was suspicious. His hair grew early on his sideburns. The eldest son still heard these two sentences, so he raised his hand to let Fu Siping die.

"You've grown up too, and even though you're thin, you still have some tenacity. The sixth son was raised too delicately by Concubine Shu, and she would get sick every now and then. It's better to be like you as a big brother. Is the arm injury healed? "Emperor Kang Yuan glanced quickly at Fu Si's arm, and then turned to Zhou Taifu who was standing aside, "Young man, your bones are recovering quickly, how is Taifu's calligraphy better now?"

Fu Si took advantage of the opportunity to greet the Taifu, and both nodded.

The Taifu said: "Zhou Mo is an ignorant child. He wants to show off his ability when he is not good enough. He deserves to be in a mess. It is a great kindness for His Majesty not to blame, and he takes care of him. The old minister is really terrified!"

Fu Sishui listened and knew that he was talking about Zhou Mo who asked himself to join the army five years ago. During the battle with Wu Guo, he single-handedly entered the enemy camp, took the head of the enemy commander, but also got his legs.

Emperor Kang Yuan casually caressed the seismograph placed on the book case, and said with a smile: "The Taifu is too strict in governing the family. As the saying goes, civil servants do not love money, and military officials do not fear death, so the country can be peaceful. I am so relieved for such a brave and fearless loyal minister."

Speaking of this, Emperor Kang Yuan's words changed abruptly: "Shu Yi used to defend the country in Chenzhou. If Chen Zhou really trembled, I would be most at ease to send Shu Yi to rescue the disaster. It's just—" Emperor Kang Yuan pointed to the seismograph and looked at Fu Si , "Boss, where did you get this thing, is it really effective?"

Finally getting to the point, Fu Si knelt again, "This thing is sure to be effective. But the experience of getting this thing is mysterious, and I dare not speak nonsense."

Emperor Kang Yuan waved his hand: "But it's okay to say, I don't blame."

"Thank you, Father!" Fu Sizao had prepared his speech, and first he pityed himself for his life experience and retreated to advance, "My son is born with an earthquake, and I worry about it day and night, fearing that something bad will happen..."

Emperor Kang Yuan frowned slightly. He was indeed jealous of the capital earthquake when the eldest son was born, so he sent him to the fief early and put it aside without a name. He is mean and stupid.

"What's this saying? Who said you are unlucky?" Emperor Kang Yuan said slightly angrily.

Fu Si lowered his head, "Father loves you deeply, and I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I dare not take my father seriously. In the past ten years in Shuzhou, I have prayed for my father's well-being day and night. Perhaps my filial piety and sincerity have touched the heavens, and my son was so happy in his dream. Meet the gods."

Emperor Kang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Could it be that this seismograph was given by the gods? You are favored by the gods, but I don't have this opportunity."

Fu Si expected this question, so he kept his voice steady: "The seismograph is indeed taught by the gods. The father ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, and worked hard day and night. My son and minister are stupid, and there is no way to repay the king's kindness. It will be a great blessing for my son and minister if it is produced and offered to my father for a meager use."

"If it is really useful, I also know about this artifact from the Taifu. Boss, your filial piety may be too far away." Emperor Kang Yuan glanced at the two of them, and no one dared to look directly at the emperor. Although he was respectful, at the same time the emperor You can't judge whether you are really loyal from the eyes of your courtiers.The eldest son, who had always been peaceful and quiet, suddenly became involved with the veterans of the three dynasties, and Emperor Kang Yuan's suspicions were hard to dispel.

Finally came to the most important place.At that time, Fu Si handed over the seismograph to Zhou Mo, but he did not expect that it would take effect so soon, and Zhou Mo actually asked the Taifu to report it to His Majesty in person. It is true that Zhou Taifu's words have weight, but the weight is too heavy.

Fu Si knelt down on the ground again, with his forehead pressed against the ground, "It's because I didn't think carefully. Since I returned to Beijing, I have been recuperating in the post house by the gift of my father, and I dare not walk around casually. It was only a few days ago that I was one year old. This is the first time I have stepped into the Grand Tutor's mansion. Knowing that my father is taking care of everything, I made a seismograph according to the instructions of the gods, and I dare not disturb it rashly, so I want to let the Tai Tuo pass it on."

Saying that, Fu Si raised her head, said with a blushing face, "I don't dare to lie, I also have selfishness."

Emperor Kang Yuan looked at the dust on his eldest son's forehead, which was well-knocked, his face paled, "What selfishness?"

Fu Si glanced at the Grand Tutor next to him: "My son thinks that the seismograph is the most effective. If it is useless, the Grand Tutor is the elder of the three dynasties, and the father is a benevolent and wise emperor, so he shouldn't blame him too much."

Emperor Kang Yuan laughed loudly, "Teacher Zhou, look, this kid is still holding back such bad water! He should be punished!"

Taifu Zhou glanced at Fu Si from the corner of his eye, bowed his body and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, Your Highness is pure and filial, it is my great fortune."

"Get up, I haven't been home for ten years, why are you kneeling over and over again?" Emperor Kang Yuan's eyes widened, and his eyes fell on the seismograph, "This thing is stitched deftly, and the surface is round and smooth. You made it yourself?"

"I dare not deceive the emperor, every sentence is true."

"Let me see your hands."

Fu Si stretched out his hands in front of Emperor Kang Yuan. The seismograph was made with exquisite craftsmanship, and Fu Si had never done handicrafts. When he first started making, the carving knife and sandpaper greeted his hands. Although there was no serious injury, the long and short There are also many holes left.

Emperor Kang Yuan took a look and frowned, "Is Si'er talented? This hand is rougher than mine."

Emperor Kang Yuan turned his eyes from Fu Si's hands all the way to his face.This is his eldest son, his eyebrows and eyes are like his when he was young, his skin color and nose and mouth follow Concubine Shu's.At a young age, with red lips, white teeth, white sword eyebrows and star eyes, he grew up from a poor place in Shuzhou. Although he is dressed plainly, he is still a very tall and straight young man, much better than those in Beijing who are good at women's hands.

Fu Sineng could see a trace of pity in his father's eyes, he withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and made this pity a little more magnified with a gesture of humility and concession.

Sure enough, Emperor Kang Yuan ordered someone to put the seismograph away, and said to Taifu: "Whether the seismograph is effective or not, or whether Chenzhou is shaking or not, I know Si'er's filial piety, and I also remember the hard work that the Zhou family made for me, Great Chu." .I appointed Zhou Mo as an imperial envoy, and together with the second prince, I will patrol Chenzhou for me."

Zhou Taifu lifted his robe and knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty! It's just Zhou Mo's legs..."

"Teacher, don't worry, I will give you a BMW car, and Shuyi will be safe all the way."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy!"

"As for Si'er—" Emperor Kang Yuan smiled lovingly, "Shuzhou is remote, Concubine Shu misses her baby, seeing that you are about to be crowned, so stay in the capital and settle the marriage as soon as possible."

Fu Si: "Thank you, Father, for your kindness!"

Emperor Kang Yuan said a few more caring words, and Fu Si withdrew with Zhou Taifu. They were silent all the way until they left the palace gate, and Zhou Taifu, who was walking half a step to Fu Si's left, stopped and asked Fu Si: "Your Highness lived before?" In the Sifang Posthouse?"

The white-haired old man in front of him has gone through three dynasties, although his eyes are a bit cloudy, but his eyes are still very sharp, Fu Si respectfully replied: "Exactly."

"There is a postman named Fang Zheng Fang Zhi Ning inside?"

"Yes."

"Does Fang Yicheng know about the seismograph made by His Highness?"

"Yes."

After receiving several affirmative answers in a row, Zhou Taifu fell into silence.Fu Si looked carefully, and there was a hint of despondency on the capable face of this old man who was over seventy years old.

"But what's wrong with Fang Yicheng?" Fu Si asked.

The Taifu shook his head slowly, and sighed: "Very well, he is a literati with real talents and practical learning." The Taifu looked at Fu Si from head to toe, and changed the topic, "Has your Highness ever been taught by the teacher?"

Fu thought for a while, "The folk customs in Shuzhou are simple and simple. I learned some boxing and kicking kung fu from folk warriors to strengthen my body, and my writing is very rough."

Tai Tuo said: "Since that's the case, if Your Highness doesn't think the old man is old and slow, maybe you can have a chat with His Highness."

Fu Si was overjoyed, Taifu Zhou was the leader of the literati in Chu State, so it was good to have his advice.Respectfully saluted, "Fu Si thanked the Tai Tuo here."

The Grand Tutor gave him a little help, "To say something presumptuous and disrespectful, the old man regards His Highness as a younger generation, and he should give it all to him. It seems unfamiliar to address His Highness, how dare you ask His Highness?"

Most of the men's names were taken by their parents when they were crowned, and some were taken in advance. Fu Si has been raised in Shuzhou for ten years, so there is no such thing as a watch.Just as he was about to say no words, a gentle smiling face suddenly appeared in Fu Si's mind, and he recited verses with a spring-like voice, which was so beautiful.

But for the sake of the king, I have been pondering it so far.

Fu Si bowed solemnly to Taifu.

"Fu Si, ponder the words."
