Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 639 The old man looks at his son-in-law
The next day, Tai Chi Hall.

Under the leadership of his uncle, Xue Li was dressed in white and carefully observed the face-to-face etiquette step by step.

His uncle told him that if there was a problem with the etiquette, those censors would catch him and find fault. He didn't want to have an unexpected situation when he met the saint for the first time.

"Here we are." Xue Shou stood at the foot of the steps outside the hall, and said to Xue Li, "Your Majesty only summoned you, go."

"Yes." Xue Li bowed to him, then turned and climbed the steps.

Watching Xue Li climb up the steps step by step, Xue Shou smiled, then turned and went to Shang Shusheng.

Xue Li came outside the hall and looked at the majestic Tai Chi Hall which was close at hand. Although he could see the mottled and peeling marks on the pilasters, this did not make people relax, but made him feel more nervous.

The majestic and solemn atmosphere seemed to come from a long-standing authority, which made people fearful.

The servant stepped forward and asked, "But Xue Li?"

"It's down."

"Please follow the slaves into the palace."

"Please, sir."

The servant led him, and instead of entering the main hall, he went to the side room.The main hall is generally used for the opening of the court. Although the door is usually open, it is not used.

Side hall.

The servant came in first and told the emperor that Xue Li was waiting outside the hall, and then Li Zhiyun ordered someone to bring him in.

Xue Li walked into the side room, keeping his head down all the time, not daring to look around casually.

It wasn't until the servant reminded him that Xue Li came back to his senses, and then bowed and bowed, "Hedong Xue Li pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Li straightened his back slowly, not daring to look directly at the emperor, but moved down a little, looking at the emperor from the corner of his eye.

Seeing this, Xue Li was shocked.

Isn't this the one who was fishing with him at school that day?

He is His Majesty the Emperor?
"Why, don't you know me anymore?" Li Zhiyun was wearing a regular uniform, with a wooden crown in his hair and a jade hairpin inserted horizontally. He could be described as handsome and handsome.

Xue Li said embarrassingly: "I, a grassroots, never thought that I would have met His Majesty."

Li Zhiyun smiled and didn't bother with this trivial matter.

In the past, although Xue Li lived in Xue Shou's mansion, he had no identity, so naturally he had no chance to see him.

"Give a seat."

"Yes." The servants fetched a stool and put it behind Xue Li.

Xue Li thanked the emperor, and then sat down. According to Xue Shou's instructions, Xue Li only sat halfway, but he didn't dare to sit on it carelessly.

The emperor grants you a seat, which means you are in a good mood and have a good impression of you, but this does not mean that you can relax freely in front of the emperor.

Li Zhiyun asked him something casually, and chatted with him about the study tour in the grassland, and the atmosphere between the two gradually calmed down.

"You've done a good job, a man from Tang Dynasty, you should have this kind of justice." Li Zhiyun praised casually.

Xue Li said humbly: "I dare not take credit for it. If His Majesty hadn't opened the school, I wouldn't be able to enter it and listen in, let alone the military skills that I couldn't learn. It's all due to Your Majesty."

Li Zhiyun chuckled, "Xue Shou is very good at teaching you, he is humble and knows how to advance and retreat."

Xue Li smiled shyly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said: "However, you are indispensable for youthful spirit. I still like young people with high spirits, rather than old ministers who are dull."

"Yes." Xue Li said heartily.

His Majesty is His Majesty, every word and deed made waves in his heart.

"This time you made a contribution, tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"

Regarding this issue, Xue Shou also talked with him, Xue Li thought for a while, and then replied: "I really dare not take credit for my trivial strength."

"Hehe." Li Zhiyun smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

The emperor's smile made Xue Li nervous again.It was really the emperor's low smile, which seemed to be full of inexplicable meaning.

"Xue Li."

"exist."

"I'll give you a chance to choose. As long as your request is not excessive, I can agree to you. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have it next time. Tell me, you plan to follow what Xue Shou taught you, and Do you follow your heart?" Li Zhiyun asked him meaningfully.

Judging from Xue Li's performance in entering the palace, Li Zhiyun knew that Xue Shou definitely taught him a lot, and Xue Shou must have guessed that he would reward Xue Li.

What he wants to hear is not what others guess he wants to hear.

Xue Li was struggling, because the emperor saw through his words at a glance and knew what his uncle taught him.

How to do?
Want to speak your mind?

After thinking about it, Xue Li made a decision and spoke from his heart!
Because Xue Shou had taught him not to deceive the emperor, otherwise he would end badly.

"I want to go to university to continue my studies." Xue Li spoke his mind gently.He knew that with his own grades, wanting to be admitted to university was tantamount to dreaming.

But he really wanted to go to college, because he learned from his uncle that after entering college, Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, Duke of Wei, would be the person in charge of the military class, and would regularly teach them college students.

This kind of thing is hard to refuse when you think about it.

More importantly, he has already tasted the sweetness of studying with the children of the rich and powerful at Chang'an Middle School.

Among other things, this network of resources alone is not accessible to everyone.Not long ago, when he came back from the grassland, he had already received invitations from three or four classmates.

What are you inviting?
Naturally, he was invited to join the Guard Army!
The fathers of those classmates were at the rank of general in the Weifu army, and if they mixed with them, sooner or later they would be able to become a middle-level officer.

This kind of opportunity is rare.

In addition, Xue Li also saw that if he could enter the university to study in the future, once he graduated, according to his uncle Xue Shou, the future would be bright, if not great.

In the end, it was because he knew that as that girl, she would definitely be able to enter the university to continue her studies.

He wants to be with her.

"University!" Li Zhiyun laughed dumbly.

It's embarrassing to say that the university has not yet been filmed.The main reason is that in the past two years, all places have been recovering, and he is really embarrassed to search for people's fat and people's anointing to establish a university.At present, the result of the discussion at the Ministry of Rites is that the university will not be built for the time being, and the houses at the Imperial College will continue to be used instead.

Wait until there are more students in the future, and then consider these.

"That's right, I saw you right." Li Zhiyun smiled, and immediately said: "However, I won't give you privileges, you have to study hard with the teachers, and I will let the teachers teach you well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Xue Li got up and saluted.

As long as someone is willing to teach him, he will study hard.He couldn't keep up with the learning progress in Chang'an Middle School, mainly because he had learned too little in the past and couldn't keep up with the complicated knowledge learned at school.He wants to find a teacher to make up lessons in private, but the teacher may not give him a chance.

People like Kong Yingda, Lu Deming, and Yu Shinan are all well-educated people, and even his uncle can't hire these people.

Now that the emperor speaks for him, he will have the opportunity to make a small fuss.

After a while, Xue Li bowed and left.

After Xue Li left, two women, one big and one small, came out from behind the screen behind the emperor.

It was the imperial concubine Wei Gui and Princess Yongning.

Li Zhiyun asked them to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Yongning, you didn't tell Xue Li in advance what happened today, did you?"

When he learned from Wei Gui that Yongning's sweetheart was Xue Li, he was first angry, then relieved, and finally pleased with his daughter's good looks.

Xue Li's son, he still looks very good.

Especially today's question and answer made him feel a little bit more satisfied.It may be a preconceived idea, or it may be Xue Li's dull performance. All in all, Li Zhiyun's impression of Xue Li is still good.

Of course, with Li Zhiyun's current energy-raising skills, if he wants to examine his son-in-law, he will naturally not let his son-in-law see it.

Coupled with Xue Li's dull temper, he had no idea that when he met His Majesty just now, he was actually sized up by His Majesty as an 'old man'.
