Chapter 48
"I happened to hear that my Celestial Dynasty students organized a poetry competition here today, and they competed with Jin Yiwei Qianhu in poetry. I just happened to have nothing to do to see who is winning and who is losing now?"

At the invitation of Zhao Zikang and others, Zhu Yu hurriedly walked to the head of the jury and sat down, looked at the students present, and asked with great interest.

"This……"

The students didn't know when Zhu Yu came, but this didn't prevent them from being humiliated in their hearts. They couldn't help but blushed, and they hesitated for a while, but no one answered.

Seeing this, Zhao Zikang could only sigh silently, shook his head and went forward to report.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Kuo is a scholar of heaven and man, and has a great literary talent. After some competitions... he won."

"Since it's a competition, is there a lottery?"

Zhu Yu still pretended not to know, because he really liked seeing the shy looks of these rotten students.

Well, it's cool, I can't deal with you old men, it's good to see your students being humiliated.

Zhu Wang's eyes were full of smiles, although there was no trace, but he was discovered by Wang Kuo who was secretly observing him.

In Wang Kuo's mind, he doesn't have the thoughts and awareness of being a monarch and minister, so others dare not look at Zhu Yu, but he dares to observe carefully. As for respect... Hehe, just think about Li Shuyi and Yin Xiewen, and you will know how much Wang Kuo is. Respect him now.

"This guy's eyes are full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth are upturned. He is obviously very happy in his heart. It seems that my spring is coming."

As soon as the thought changed in his mind, Wang Kuo guessed what Zhu Yu was thinking, and he clearly saw his own performance, so His Majesty was happy.

Zhao Zikang didn't want to say it, he looked at those students and saw that those students lowered their heads, and couldn't help but look at Li Jing, Liu Shan and others, but he didn't want these people to see his eyes, and they all cleverly avoided up.

"It's not that the brothers don't pay attention. It's because you don't want to say it, and we don't want to say it either."

Feeling helpless, Zhao Zikang could only organize his words and said: "Your Majesty, the prize for Wang Qianhu and the students is that Wang Qianhu sells wine, perfume, and soap, which are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. You can use silver and other things of the same value for the competition, or...or you can accept Wang Qianhu's request, and if you lose, you can worship Wang Qianhu as your teacher."

"Huh?" Zhu Wang's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he looked at Wang Kuo and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Bold Wang Kuo, you dare to speak out with your little knowledge, and you want to take students as apprentices? You are so big!" courage."

Hearing this, the corners of Wang Kuo's mouth couldn't help twitching. Are you talking about me, or are you beating around the bush and scolding those students?I'm not afraid of my little talents, but what's terrible is that these little talents have won them. Isn't this calling them uneducated?
In fact, it wasn't just Wang Kuo who had this reaction when he heard Zhu Yu's words, even Zhao Zikang and the others twitched the corners of their mouths, but they had nothing to say, so they could only honestly lower their heads, as if I didn't understand.

"I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me. I really dare not speak such wild words. It is you talented people who want to compete with me. You are gentlemen because you know that you have no money, and you don't want to take advantage of me. So that’s why it’s done.”

Wang Kuo was called by Zhu Wang's name, and quickly kowtowed respectfully to admit his mistake.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. In order not to make it difficult for the students, the minister is willing to break his promise. This time the competition is not counting. The big deal is that the humble minister will not be a gentleman."

After Wang Kuo finished saying this, all the students frowned, and there was only one sentence "Nima" in their mouths, not knowing whether to say it or not.

You broke your promise not to be a gentleman?Why do you say this so harshly?
You might as well just say that we reneged on our promises and got fat, so we are not worthy of being a gentleman.

"Yeah. It's still a human thing to say so, since it's like this..." Zhu Yu was very satisfied with Wang Kuo's eye-catching, and couldn't help but nodded: "If that's the case, then forget it this time, the right should be written Let's make friends."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey the order."

He said that he obeyed the order, but in fact he looked around and saw that the students on the sidelines were staring at the students who lost, and the students who lost were watching with their eyes. Watching the heart through the nose and the nose, without saying a word, my heart suddenly became bored.

"Is this so out of line?"

"Shouldn't you all be very upright and yell that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated. Since we lose, we will admit it? How can we pretend to be dead!"

"Report to Your Majesty, Cao Min has a silver ticket of 5 taels of silver placed on the side of the judging table, and Cao Min is willing to gamble and admit defeat." The feeling of being stared at by others is uncomfortable, and Wei Chengli, who has a wealthy family, couldn't stand this kind of stare at first, and couldn't help but Kneeling down and saluting, he said to Zhu Wang.

Wei Chengli didn't think too much about it, because it's not difficult to get a title on the gold list with his knowledge, so he couldn't stand those gazes, but what's more, he didn't want to make His Majesty look down on him because of this, after all, this is his future boss ah.

But Wei Chengli's words are not easy to put the remaining students on the stove.

Originally, because of Zhu Wang's words, they could still deal with this matter with silence in tacit understanding, and even if they weren't big enough, they would have gone to thank Zhu Yu for his kindness and Wang Kuo's generosity.

But now that Wei Chengli said so, they can't continue to pretend to be stupid.

Immediately there were three more people who stood up. These three were students with money in their families, and they were students who took silver taels as their lottery, so they were heartbroken to lose, but they were not too unaffected to lose. With Wei Chengli, they no longer need to be silent.

"Your Majesty, Caomin is willing to gamble and admit defeat, and is willing to worship Wang Qianhu as his teacher." A student who looked relatively young suddenly stepped forward and said.

Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to accept his fate as the matter had come to an end.

As soon as he responded, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart, and the eyes he looked at Wang Kuo no longer showed such resistance, but showed a touch of respect.

In this era, it is very important to respect teachers, and it is even more important to respect the emperor, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth.The so-called master master means that a master is like a father.

Life is like this, it is very difficult before making a choice, but after making a choice.No matter how difficult it is, the heart will be relaxed.

"Well, you are very good, you should be responsible for being a man, a gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is a gentleman, what's your name?" Zhu Yu looked at the young man and nodded in satisfaction, but his words were like a magic knife, which also made people laugh. The expressions of the other students who did not move changed.

The emperor has said so, and it can be seen what His Majesty meant.

Although they hoped that they would not refuse, would they still become officials?What's the use of student culture if you don't become an official?How can you not care what His Majesty thinks of them if you become an official?

With mixed feelings in their hearts, the rest of the students could only reluctantly bow their heads and resign themselves to their fate. Wang Kuo almost gave Zhu Yu a thumbs-up and praised "Gao Ming".

"Okay, I still have things to deal with in the palace, so I won't disturb you young people having fun, Xiao Anzi, let's go back."

Accompanied by Shao De'an, Zhu Yu was sent back to the palace respectfully by everyone, but when he passed by Wang Kuo's side, he whispered a meaningful word.

"I am honored as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, if I can't get the best things in the world, how can I be as good as I want?"

"You performed very well today, see me in the palace tomorrow."

Wang Kuo was thinking about the meaning of Zhu Yu's words, when he heard the words to let him enter the palace, he hurriedly bowed down and worshiped without thinking.

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

The emperor left, and Zhao Zikang and other ministers also left. The difference is that when Zhu Yu left, he said a word to Wang Kuo, but Zhao Zikang and others looked at Wang Kuo, hesitated to speak, and finally shook their heads and left directly. go.

Different ways do not conspire with each other, although Wang Kuo's literary talent is good, but after all, he is not the same as them.

With the departure of Zhao Zikang and others, the onlookers and talented scholars lost their mood to continue, and they all said politely to each other and left.

Until the end, there were only those talents left on the fifth floor who lost to Wang Kuo and asked him to be their teacher, as well as Du Weiwei and several members of Yingying Society who did not leave.

"I've seen the teacher." A group of young talents saw that everyone left, and after waiting for a while, Du Weiwei and others did not leave. Under Wang Kuo's gaze, they had no choice but to salute and say hello.

"Since you worship me as a teacher, there is nothing to give you as a teacher. There are still drinks and tea leaves. Everyone take a bottle of wine and a can of tea back to drink. It's a gift for the teacher to give you. .”

"The disciple thanked the master." When everyone heard this, their dull eyes couldn't help but light up.

"He Yong, since you are the first among these people who are willing to be a teacher, then you can be their senior brother. From now on, when I am not around, you will be the master in charge of their studies. Maybe you can complete the tasks entrusted to you by the teacher?"

No matter what the purpose is, since he has accepted the apprentice, he can't ignore it. As for what to pay in the future, he has not thought about it.This still needs him to go back and think carefully.

"Yes, I obey." He Yong, the young man who was questioned by Zhu Wang and first decided to worship Wang Kuo as his teacher, agreed with a student salute.

"He Yong? It's a coincidence that he has the same name and surname as the guy in Mengxiang Pavilion." Wang Kuo shook his head, feeling that it was quite a coincidence.

"Well, let's all go away. Tomorrow, I have something to do with the teacher and I need to go to the palace. In the afternoon...you can go to Dongying to find me." Wang Kuo thought about it and decided to meet in Dongying, because he will meet again. The industries in the capital are all for business, and there is no house for him to teach and no one to gather.

"Yes. Disciple obeys."

A group of students, 16 of them except He Yong, agreed feebly.

"Well, let's go." Casting a glance at these people, Wang Kuo didn't care about their attitude, and waved his hands indifferently.

With this group of students and talents alone, it would not be too easy for him to deal with them, so let them babble for a while now.

"Congratulations, Prince, for winning the flag."

"That's right, the prince has a brilliant literary talent, I really envy others."

"Old Wang, you." Yin Qingqing couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

The girls from Jin Ying Society also stepped forward to express their congratulations. Today's poetry conference may be due to the relationship between Du Weiwei and Yin Qingqing.Treat him best.

"Well, maybe it's because my brother is so handsome." Wang Kuo thought to himself.

"I can't be called a son. If you don't mind, you can call me by my name in the future, or like Qingqing, you can call me Laowang."

Wang Kuo pushed the boat along the way like all the girls and brought them closer.

"It's fate for everyone to meet."
