The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 119

[Chapter 119 Er Chen’s master is named Fang Xiu]

Hearing this, Emperor Chu frowned even more. No matter how you sound

about making ice from stone and water

, it sounds like the alchemy described by a Taoist priest.

I still remember that the late emperor was obsessed with seeking immortality and asking questions, which led to chaos in the court and people’s livelihood.

Since he came to the throne, he has kept this lesson in mind and always warned himself that he must not listen to the magic words of alchemists and pursue the illusory immortality.

But at this moment, the youngest son he loved most said this.

How could this make him not feel angry?

Emperor Chu frowned, looked at Zhao Hao, and asked, “Hao’er, who is your master?”

“Er Chen’s master is named Fang Xiu!”

Zhao Hao said with excitement on his face.

Rest! ?

Emperor Chu was slightly startled, and then an angry look appeared on his face.

No wonder it was this boy

. A young man suffering from a brain disease who didn’t even have any fame. Although he showed some unusual talents, what qualifications did he have to be the prince’s master?

What’s more, what is he teaching!

Stones and water to make ice?

I am afraid that the Taoist priest who bewitched the late emperor and claimed to be an immortal master might not have dared to deceive him so blatantly.

Seeing his father’s angry look, Zhao Hao asked in confusion: “Father, what’s wrong with you?”

Emperor Chu suppressed his anger, looked at Zhao Hao, and shook his head: “Father, everything is fine.”

He paused. After a pause, he asked again: “Fang Xiu taught you this method of making ice from stones and water?”

Zhao Hao nodded seriously and said, “Master also taught me physics.”

“What is physics?” “

Emperor Chu asked casually as he was thinking about how to punish Fang Xiu.

Zhao Hao, however, looked serious and replied: “Physics is the principle of everything in the world, and it is also the principle of understanding. Master said it.”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the angry Emperor Chu: “Physics is the principle of everything in the world.” The truth?

How can he, a brain-disabled boy with no fame or military exploits and relying on the great achievements of his fathers and ancestors, teach you the truth of all things in the world

? To be honest, he is really brave.”

This was the first time that Zhao Hao saw his father getting angry in front of him.

Although he was a little scared when he heard the insult to his master, he still stubbornly raised his head, looked at his father, and said firmly: “Master is not what my father said. He taught me how to make ice with water and stones, and taught me how to drop stones to the ground at the same time. Also teach me.”

Seeing him like this, Emperor Chu shook his head helplessly.

This child is usually very smart. He has only read the Four Books and Five Classics a few times before he knows them by heart. How could he be bewitched by this kid Fang Xiu?

Zhao Hao was a little aggrieved when he saw his father showing such an expression mid-sentence.

After thinking for a while, he picked up an inkstone and a teacup from the table and said loudly: “My son has a question, and I want to ask my father. If my father answers it wrong, it will prove that what the master said is correct. From now on, my father cannot Make up another slander against Master! “

The heaven governs the world with loyalty and filial piety. Loyalty means loyalty to the emperor, while filial piety means honoring parents and teachers.

Seeing his son defending his master like this, Emperor Chu didn’t know whether he should be happy or worried.

After a while, he just sighed: “What if the answer is correct?”

Zhao Hao obviously had not thought about this question. After thinking about it, he said: “Answering correctly does not mean that the master is wrong. It only means that the son has offended his father and is willing to take the lead. Punishment!”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Zhao Hao with a little more appreciation.

Immediately, it became a little complicated, with several emotions mixed together, including appreciation, regret, and helplessness. Being loyal and

filial but not pedantic, kind but not cowardly, these are the qualities of a virtuous king.

It’s a pity that

Zhao Hao didn’t know anything about his father’s psychological changes. He just stood up on tiptoes and raised the teacup and inkstone in his hands above his head as he did in the suburbs.

“Father, who do you think will hit the ground first, the teacup or the inkstone?”

Emperor Chu raised his eyes, glanced at the teacups and inkstones of different sizes, and frowned.

If two large and small objects fall at the same height at the same time, the heavy object must hit the ground first. This is common sense.

However, his intuition told Emperor Chu that things would never be that simple.

Hao’er is an extremely smart child, so it’s impossible for him not to know such common truths.

But

within such a short distance, it was impossible for any other action to make the teacup fall to the ground first.

After a while, Emperor Chu said: “Father, I guess the inkstone will fall to the ground first.”

Hearing this, Zhao Hao seemed to be relieved, with a relaxed expression on his face, and said excitedly: “Father, please take care of it!”

Zhao Hao said!

Hao raised his arms to the same height, let go, and the teacup and inkstone fell to the ground at the same time.

boom!

Two objects of different sizes and weights fell to the ground, making only a sound.

“This”

Seeing this scene, Liu Cheng on the side showed an expression of extreme surprise and couldn’t help but exclaimed.

The Emperor of Chu was not better than him, but he had been in a high position for many years and had become calm about changes. Even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he could still remain calm.

In fact, there was already a storm in my heart.

Zhao Hao was not too surprised to see his father, nor was he as excited as before, but he still raised his little face and said proudly: “Father, you lost!”

Emperor Chu was still thinking about why the size was different. Two objects will fall to the ground at the same time. Could it be that the teacup is actually heavier?

Hearing Zhao Hao’s words, he seemed to have thought of something and asked: “Is this what Fang Xiu taught you?”

Zhao Hao nodded and said: “Yes.”

Seeing his father mention his master, he hurriedly said: “Father just now I promised my son that if my father guesses wrong, he will not make up stories about his master in the future.”

Emperor Chu shook his head secretly, looked back, and glanced at Liu Cheng behind him.

Jun Wuxi said, even if he is just a child, as the emperor, he cannot fool around.

If this is the case, if people know about it, how can we make the people surrender in the future?

What’s more, the word “slander” is too general. If Fang Xiu made a mistake, it wouldn’t be considered

“slander”. So, he nodded and said, “You are not joking.”

Then, as if to verify something, He bent down and picked up the teacup and inkstone, weighing them.

I found that the inkstone is indeed much heavier than the tea cup.

Now, Emperor Chu was even more confused.

I repeated it again, only to find that the result was the same as before.

Finally, he couldn’t hold back the doubts in his heart and asked, “Fang Xiuke told you why two objects with different weights fell to the ground at the same time?”

Zhao Hao shook his head and said, “Master just told me, Even small things have a hidden meaning. Besides, not every problem in this world has an explanation.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chu’s face darkened instantly.

Such words can only coax children.

Fang Xiu is afraid that the boy only knows what is happening, but does not know why.
