Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father

Chapter 153

After the number one scholar toured Chang'an City, after the end.

Li Gen led everyone back.

Everyone was silent along the way.

After the carnival and cheers, the teenagers who calmed down knew that this was the last time for them to be brought back to the academy by the dean.

After going back, they had to face a sad parting moment!
Li Gen also noticed why everyone was depressed.

Yes!

After living together for so long, it is time to separate.

Everyone has to set foot on their own path.

When everyone was about to arrive at the gate of the manor, Kong Yingda galloped over on his horse.

He discussed with Li Gen that he would have a good drink with these students tonight.

Tomorrow morning, let them leave the academy together.

That night, the atmosphere at the banquet was very heavy.

When many teenagers toasted, they couldn't help crying.

"Students, today is a very happy day. Dean Kong and I are very happy for you, and we are sincerely proud of your performance."

"After the assessment by the Ministry of Officials, you will go your own way."

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its ups and downs. If we are destined to work together in the future, we should support and encourage each other."

"During more than half a year of being together, you eat, live and study together, and you are already like brothers."

"If you want to go to the academy, come back and take a look when you have time. As long as the academy is still there, and Dean Kong and I are still here, this will always be your home!"

When Li Gen's words fell to the ground, all the teenagers were sobbing.

.........

The second day happened to be a holiday.

At the gate of the manor, adults gathered to pick up the children.

Chai Shao, Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Li Jing all came.

Li Gen taught their children so well that they all had bright smiles on their faces.

Li Gen and Kong Yingda sent everyone out of the gate of the manor with a smile.

"Marquis Lan Tian, ​​Master Kong, thank you both for your hard work and teaching, allowing Ling Wu to achieve such excellent results. Chai Shao thanks you both again."

"Huo Guogong is serious. As entrusted by His Majesty, teaching and educating people is the duty of the younger generation and President Kong!"

"Lan Tianhou, last year I personally wore a big red flower for you. I didn't expect that Shuyu was also the number one student in high school yesterday. Lan Tianhou, brother Zhongda, please be respected by Wei Zheng."

"Wei Zhongcheng, it's absolutely impossible to do it, it's a shame for this junior."

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Li Jing, the three generals also strode forward.

"Three great generals, don't say thank you anymore. The three great generals have fought for the Tang Dynasty for many years. They are all seniors who have worked hard and made great achievements. The juniors really can't afford it!"

"Lan Tianhou, this is a little thought from me. You must accept it. The official messenger who sent the happy news yesterday sent it home. I took out the happy money to find out. Lan Tianhou has already given the happy money for me. .”

"You trained my family Zhao Xin to be a talent, so that my family finally has a Jinshi in the imperial examination. I really don't know how to thank you..."

Zhao Xin's father was only forty years old, but his face was already wrinkled and his hair had turned gray.

"Lan Tianhou, my family's happy money is also paid by you, benefactor, great benefactor..."

Among the fifty students, except for Chai Lingwu, Wei Shuyu, Li Deju, Cheng Chuliang and Yuchi Baoqi, the others were all of civilian origin.

It is now known that their respective wedding money was given by the dean in advance to the official who sent the happy news.

"Students, go home with your respective adults. Don't forget to study hard at home. You still have to pass the assessment of the Ministry of Officials."

Li Gen waved his hand with a smile, motioning for everyone to board their own carriages, ox carts, and even carts pulled by adults on their shoulders.

The teenagers reluctantly waved goodbye.

The moment they boarded their respective carriages, everyone couldn't help but burst into tears.

Li Gen couldn't stand such a scene.

With a cruel heart, he turned and walked towards the manor.

Tears rolled down his cheeks instantly.

After a quarter of an hour, there was gradually no movement outside.

Li Gen walked to the gate of the manor.

Looking at the convoy fading away, he waved his hands vigorously.

…………

On the second day, in Xiande Hall.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair happily.

Today's imperial examination has been successfully concluded, and many young talents will be used by Li Shimin again.

After listening to Kao Gonglang's report, Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"

All the officials bowed their heads in congratulations.

"Your Majesty, the [-] candidates from the Zhuangyuan Academy have all won the titles on the gold list, and they have won the top spot in all subjects except the scholar department. Lan Tianhou has contributed a lot. I suggest that Lan Tianhou should be rewarded to show His Majesty's grace!"

Yushi Taichung Cheng Wei Zheng, came out of the class to play the Tao.

"What Xuan Cheng said is very true. Hearing that Shuyu High School won the imperial examination, my heart is very comforted, my heart is very comforted!"

"Your Majesty, it is the diligent teachings of Marquis Lantian and Master Kong that made Quan Zi today's glory."

"The most important thing is that His Majesty Shengming ordered the establishment of the No. [-] Scholar Academy."

Li Shimin nodded happily.

As stubborn as Wei Zheng, it's hard to hear him praise Li Shimin.

"My lords, I didn't expect that the Marquis of Lantian taught me fifty young talents in just over half a year."

"I intend to reward the Marquis of Lantian heavily, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, please obey His Majesty's orders!"

Now the reputation of the No. [-] Scholar Academy has spread throughout the surrounding areas of Chang'an City. The feat of all fifty candidates being listed on the list is unprecedented and unprecedented.

He even won the number one scholar in the current imperial examination and the first place in many subjects.

Such Lan Tianhou, if he doesn't give a big reward, no matter what, it is unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

Just when Li Shimin was about to offer a reward, no one expected that Changsun Wuji would come out to perform.

"Auxiliary machine, what do you want to play?"

The reason why Changsun Wuji came out to play was because what he was most worried about was that Li Shimin was overjoyed and directly announced Li Gen's true identity.

If this is the case, all my painstaking efforts will be in vain.

At this critical moment full of variables, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to step forward.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Marquis of Lantian has contributed a lot, and the heavy reward is what everyone expects."

"Your Majesty, Marquis Lantian is full of talent and is fully capable of teaching more talents for Datang and His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Chen Qizuo, let Lan Tianhou continue to teach at the Zhuangyuan Academy."

Li Shimin stared at Changsun Wuji upon hearing this, and nodded with a smile.

"What the auxiliary machine said is very heartfelt!"

"What do you think?"

Li Shimin glanced at the officials with burning eyes.

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, Du Ruhui was about to come out to play, Fang Xuanling shook his head lightly.

On the holiday yesterday, the two had already discussed, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Zhuangyuan Academy to let His Majesty announce to the world the true identity of Hou Lantian.

Right now, it seems to be open to debate!
Every move of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui fell into Li Shimin's eyes.

Seeing that the two hadn't left work after all, Li Shimin said.

"Proclaim my will!"

"The [-] candidates of the Zhuangyuan Academy all counted their titles on the gold list, and Lantian Hou Ligen's contribution as the dean is indisputable."

"Reward the emperor with a golden plaque, and the champion's manor."

Li Shimin's voice fell to the ground, and the Xiande Hall was quiet.

Royal gift gold plaque!

Champion Manor.

In other words, whenever you go to the Zhuangyuan Academy in the future, you have to get off the horse and get off the car within a hundred steps of the manor.

Facing the golden plaque bestowed by the emperor, one still needs to bow down and worship.

The glory!

It is the biggest reward since Li Shimin ascended the throne.

Although there is no real power, there is glory!
It even overshadowed the important ministers of the Xuanwumen Incident.

"A reward of [-], a thousand pieces of Hangzhou brocade..."

Although the amount of these monetary and material rewards is huge, the officials think it is a matter of course.

But Li Shimin's next words shocked everyone.

"Reward, a Qingya horse!"

Qing Yama, one of Li Shimin's favorite horses.

Accompanying Li Shimin in battles for many years, made great military exploits.

"Your Majesty, no, absolutely no!"

Changsun Wuji's complexion changed drastically,
Not to mention the golden plaque for the reward, even Qing Yama was also rewarded.

In the future, if Li Gen enters the city on a Qingya horse, and all the officials see him, wouldn't they all want to get off the horse and get off the carriage to salute.

Even Fang Xiang Du Xiang, Wei Zheng and others danced together with eyebrows and beards.

Li Xiaogong was thinking deeply.

Li Daozong frowned.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao showed joy.

Li Jing seemed to stay out of the matter, with a look of nothing to do with himself, but in fact he was like a mirror in his heart.

"Auxiliary machine, don't say any more, I've made up my mind."

"My lords, since last year, the Marquis of Lantian has been making salt, printing, sweet potatoes, Tang numbers, blackboards, quills..."

"These credits, each one is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and each one is worthy of great reward."

"Now the Marquis of Lantian has trained another fifty young talents for me in just over half a year."

"So what if I reward him with a Qingya horse?"

"Such Bole is hard to find in the world!"

Li Shimin's loud and powerful voice reverberated in Xiande Hall for a long time.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

All the officials bowed their heads and shouted.

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and strode towards the outside of Xiande Hall.

"Fang Xiang, Du Xiang and eldest grandson Shangshu, please stay!"

Just when the ministers withdrew from the court, Li Delu, the chief servant, brought the Prime Minister Du Xiang and the grandson Wuji to the imperial study.

"Three mistresses, sit down!"

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and soon a court lady brought the tea.

"Xuanling, Keming. I was in Xiande Hall just now, and saw that you two were hesitating to speak, so I knew that you two had something to say."

"There are no outsiders here. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it!"

Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup, smiled, and stared at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"Your Majesty, Xuanling and Keming thought that, taking advantage of the time when fifty candidates from the Zhuangyuan Academy were nominated for the gold list, His Majesty would announce to the world the true identity of Marquis of Lantian."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile.

Changsun Wuji's heart was pounding.

Thanks to myself being the first to start the class and start playing.

If Fang Xiang and Du Xiang took the lead, it would be too late to regret.

"Xuanling, Keming. I also had the same thoughts, but after hearing what the auxiliary machine said, I temporarily changed my mind."

"The auxiliary machine is right, Gen'er is still young, and can definitely train more young talents for me."

"Once his life experience is announced to the world, how can the eldest son of the emperor teach others?"

"Even if I set this precedent and let the eldest son of the emperor continue to teach, will the mentality of the students in the academy change? Can they still immerse themselves in their studies as usual when facing an eldest son of the emperor?"

Li Shimin's words made Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nod solemnly.

Changsun Wuji also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

If Fang Xiang Du Xiang insists on doing it, this matter is really difficult to handle.

"Your Majesty, Xuanling thinks that since this is the case, it is better to expand the scale of the Zhuangyuan Academy, and the admissions examination will start immediately. Taking advantage of the many failed candidates, who are still in Chang'an City, this move can leave a lot of potential talents!"

After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Xuanling's words are very much in line with my wishes!"

"Your Majesty, the auxiliary machine thinks something is wrong!"

When Li Shimin's words fell to the ground, Changsun Wuji immediately spoke.

"Oh, what objection does the auxiliary machine have?"

"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Du Xiang said has merit, but there are also many disadvantages."

"Recently, I heard from Chong'er that the Marquis of Lantian has lost a lot of weight. It is not hard to imagine that this is all due to the painstaking efforts in tutoring students with their studies."

"If His Majesty expands the academy again, the pressure on Marquis Lantian will increase even more. Your Majesty, don't rush everything. Marquis Lantian is only [-] this year. If it's because of his health... His Majesty may regret it later."

"Furthermore, the auxiliary machine does not agree to recruit candidates who have failed the rankings. The candidates for the current imperial examinations, except for the candidates of the Zhuangyuan Academy, are generally too old."

"If it is really a material that can be made, it won't be the case that it is still inactive at the age of nearly thirty."

"Even if there are indeed talented people among them, the age gap is not conducive to the management of Lan Tianhou. Your Majesty must not forget that the Zhuangyuan Academy is a closed management, and there are many beautiful maids in the manor..."

"Some people are used to running in Pingkangfang, if they can't hold back..."

When Changsun Wuji's words fell to the ground, Li Shimin gasped.

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Lantian trains fifty talents in one year, and a hundred in two years. Please think twice..."

Li Shimin nodded solemnly and said.

"The auxiliary machine makes sense, Xuanling, Keming, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, Xuanling didn't think carefully and acted too hastily."

"Okay, since that's the case, act according to what the auxiliary machine says."

"Gen'er is still young, I, give him enough time to cultivate talents for me."

When Li Shimin's words fell to the ground, the stone in Changsun Wuji's heart fell completely and safely.

Li Shimin watched as Fang Xiang Du Xiang and Changsun Wuji left the imperial study.

A person quietly frowned and thought for a long time.

Drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Li Shimin got up and went to the Lizheng Hall.

Right now!

In the south of Chang'an City, a team of servants, led by Li Delu, the chief servant.

Go straight to the manor where the No. [-] Scholar Academy is located.

The four dogs had been barking for an early warning.

Li Gen walked to the gate of the manor and looked into the distance.

Suddenly thought, what are these people here for?

Unfortunately, yesterday afternoon, Grandpa and Lele were taken back to live in the city again.

It is impossible to share this joy with him.

"Lan Tianhou, we meet again."

"Mr. Lao Li came to visit. This kind of kindness is not a respect!"

Li Gen readily took out a few pieces of gold leaves and stuffed them into the hands of Li Delu, the head servant.

Li Delu, with a smile, stuffed the gold leaf into the sleeve without any trace.

The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, done in one go!
At first glance, it is a proper old Jianghu.

"Lan Tianhou, today our family gave His Majesty an oral order, and we are here to present His Majesty's reward to Lord Hou."

"Master Hou, this is the list of His Majesty's rewards, please have a look at it."

Li Gen took a look at the list of rewards.

Good guy!
Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Gen was still taken aback by these rewards.

The golden plaque given by the emperor, the number one scholar's manor.

A Qingya horse.

One hundred thousand pieces of gold, one thousand pieces of Hangzhou brocade...

"Director Li, this Qingya horse is the Qingya horse that His Majesty fought on the battlefield back then?"

"Your Majesty is indeed extremely intelligent. To tell you the truth, it was the Qing Yama who made great achievements in the Battle of Hulaoguan, His Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Gen took a deep breath.

"Director Li, this Qingya horse is too precious, it is His Majesty's favorite horse, the younger generation really dare not accept it."

"Master Hou, Your Majesty has already expected that you would refuse."

"Your Majesty, feel free to accept it boldly. His Majesty said that the Marquis of Lantian is Bo Le. There are always good BMW horses, but Bo Le doesn't often have them."

"Your Majesty wants Lan Tianhou to continue teaching, so as to cultivate more talented horses for the Tang Dynasty."

"Come here, hang the golden plaque at the gate of the manor."

Li Delu gave an order, and several servants immediately started to act.

"Lord Hou, with this golden plaque from the imperial court, no matter whether you are a prince or a general, if you are a hundred steps away from the manor, you have to get off your car and horse, and bow ten steps away!"

"Your Majesty ordered that people in Lantianhou's mansion are not bound by this."

"Send, the reward, to Lord Hou's mansion."

A group of servants drove the carriage to the manor.

"Marquis Lantian, take good care of Qing Yama. Our family is leaving!"

Manager Li declined Li Gen's invitation to have lunch together.

It's not that he doesn't want to eat, it's that he doesn't dare to stay any longer.

Your Majesty is still waiting for him to return to his command!

Send off Manager Li and his party.

Li Gen looked at the reward of ten carriages and shook his head happily and helplessly.

Happily, His Majesty valued him very much. Not only did he reward him with a golden plaque, but he even rewarded him with a horse like Qing Yama.

Unfortunately, so many rewards really take up too much space.

One hundred thousand gold sounds nice, but it is just one hundred thousand copper coins.

Far less valuable than a thousand bolts of brocade.

Your Majesty bestows it, and it cannot be denied.

Li Gen had no choice but to order Youdao Youliang and others to quickly move the rewards into the warehouse.

"Teacher, with so many fine brocades, we can make many new clothes for Wu Zhao."

The little girl's words made Li Gen nod with a smile.

"Chunmei, Chunlan, after lunch, go to the tailor shop in the East Market."

"Make some new brocade clothes for Wu Zhao and Lele."

"You also make two new suits each."

Chunmei and Chunlan happily agreed.

Naturally, Li Gen didn't ask them to make clothes out of brocade.

Nowadays, there may be distinguished guests visiting the manor every day.

No matter how benevolent and kind-hearted Li Gen is, he cannot be incompatible with this era.

If the servants and maids are well-clothed and well-fed.

In that way, the criticism he has suffered will only increase.

It is also not good for his father's career.

Now, he is not living for himself alone.

There is a family, parents, grandfather and younger sister, and there is a future empress Wu Zhao by her side.

Thinking about it makes Li Gen's head twitch.

Let's talk about Changsun Wuji, after returning to Changsun's mansion, he always felt that something was wrong.

Although he has successfully prevented it, His Majesty intends to announce Li Gen's true identity to the world.

It also failed Fang Xiang and Du Xiang's proposal to expand the college and recruit candidates who failed the exam.

However, Changsun Wuji was not at ease in his heart.

Be an old fox.

Once the heart is not at ease, there is only one reason.

Some things are still flawed, not perfect and seamless.

Changsun Wuji, sitting in the study, began to calm down and think about every kind of situation that might lead to an uncontrollable situation in the future.

Suddenly, Changsun Wuji jumped up from the ground.

The most critical link, also the most uncontrollable factor, was discovered by Changsun Wuji.

Moreover, this obvious hidden danger was discovered by Changsun Wuji only now, and he patted himself on the head vigorously.

I found myself sweating profusely!
When did my head turn into a pig's head.

Changsun Wuji walked quickly to the palace.

The hidden danger has already happened once, Changsun Wuji must not let the hidden danger continue to expand.

If you don't stop His Majesty's thoughts today, you may become an enemy of all the officials in the court tomorrow.

Such a situation was not what Changsun Wuji wanted.

No matter in front of anyone, he must maintain the image of a good old man.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Shangshu is asking to see you in the imperial study."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are having lunch in the imperial study.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were quite surprised when they heard that the servant came to report.

Just a family!

Why not enter the Lizheng Palace, but go to the Imperial Study Room instead?

Changsun Wuji is so smart, he has to get rid of the empress.

As long as the queen does not fall, the eldest grandson family will not fall either.

"Guanyin maidservant, maybe brother is in a hurry, I'm already full, go and have a look."

Empress Changsun smiled and nodded.

Li Shimin strode into the imperial study.

"Auxiliary machine, why are you here in such a hurry that you don't even go to the Lizheng Hall?"

Li Shimin smiled and motioned for eldest grandson Wuji to sit down.

The two sat opposite each other, Changsun Wuji spoke.

"Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of something that might become a hidden danger in the future. I didn't even have time for lunch, so I hurried to the palace."

"Oh!"

Li Shimin instantly became serious.

"Your Majesty, there are 50 students in the first batch of the Zhuangyuan Academy. There are Chai Lingwu, Wei Shuyu, Li Deju, Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi, and everyone has excellent grades. Wei Shuyu is the number one in the high school imperial examination."

"For now, it is indeed a gratifying thing, but once a few years later, they grow up and gain a foothold in the court."

"Your Majesty has announced the identity of the eldest son of the emperor to the world. At that time, how should they deal with themselves? Is the eldest son of the emperor suspected of wooing important officials in the court?"

"Your Majesty, these questions must not be sloppy!"

Li Shimin stared at Changsun Wuji, and suddenly his expression became solemn.

"What the auxiliary machine said makes sense, but I don't know how to deal with this matter?"

Li Shimin's voice fell to the ground, and his eyes went straight to Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, it's just Ling Wu and Shu Yu, the five of them, and they haven't posed too many hidden dangers yet."

"Since the enrollment of the Zhuangyuan Academy this year, I thought that the son of an important minister in the court could no longer be allowed to study in the Zhuangyuan Academy."

Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this.

"Thanks to the reminder from the auxiliary machine, I almost caused trouble."

After receiving Li Shimin's affirmative answer, the stone in Changsun Wuji's heart finally fell to the ground.

After watching Changsun Wuji leave the imperial study room.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled up, and he shook his head with a smile.

How could Li Shimin not know what Changsun Wuji meant by this move!

But Li Shimin also knew that what he just said was indeed reasonable.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

Li Shimin naturally knows how to choose!
On the second day, above the court.

Li Shimin directly announced that all offspring of officials are not allowed to apply for the Zhuangyuan Academy.

Its name is to leave more opportunities for more common people and children.

As soon as Li Shimin spoke out, many officials shook their heads helplessly.

It seems that their children will never have the chance to receive the teachings of Lan Tianhou.

As soon as the notices around Chang'an City came out.

The news that the No. [-] Scholar Academy was recruiting again swept across the country like the wind.

There is no way, the performance of the Zhuangyuan Academy in this imperial examination is too impressive.

Fifty examinees took all the titles on the gold list, creating an unprecedented precedent.

Even if there is a comer later, people believe that this comer is also the No. [-] Scholar Academy.

The registration address is still the same as usual, and it is the Imperial College in Wubenfang.

The only requirement is that you must be under the age of 15.

This made many candidates who failed the rankings beat their chests and feet, and were heartbroken.

They originally hoped that they would be admitted to the No. [-] Scholar Academy and show their talents next year. Therefore, many candidates who failed the exam stayed in the gentle village of Pingkangfang while waiting for the news of the No. [-] Scholar Academy's enrollment.

Helpless, His Majesty's announcement extinguished the flames in everyone's hearts.

All the candidates who failed the exam had to leave Pingkangfang and Wenrou Township for a while, and embarked on their respective journeys home.

Kong Yingda naturally also received many rewards from Li Shimin.

After asking Kong Yingda himself what he meant, Li Shimin decided that Kong Yingda should assist Li Gen and preside over all the work of the Zhuangyuan Academy.

This year's entrance exam, the number of students who signed up was several times higher than last year.

This made both Kong Yingda and Li Gen very happy.

Based on the principle of fairness, impartiality and openness, merit-based admissions will be made.

The list of fifty candidates was finally settled.

Three days later, all the admitted teenagers gathered at the gate of the Imperial College with their luggage.

Li Gen and Kong Yingda led the crowd to the manor.

The Zhuangyuan Academy, which had been quiet for only half a month, was full of vigor and vitality again.

Sixth of April.

Cheng Chumo's son croaked to the ground.

Cheng Yaojin and Sun, who had already known the truth, naturally embraced their eldest grandson happily.

As for Xiangxiang, it was also accepted by Cheng Yaojin and his wife. Because of her background, Xiangxiang could not be the main wife no matter what.

Even so, Xiangxiang is already very satisfied and happy with the result.

The day of full moon wine.

Li Gen arranged the affairs of the college, brought generous gifts, and went to the door to congratulate him.

Inside Cheng's mansion, it was extremely lively.

Cheng Yaojin was very popular, and Cheng Chumo was also very popular.

There was an endless stream of people who came to express their congratulations.

Li Gen was specially arranged by Cheng Yaojin in the innermost room.

I'm afraid that someone who doesn't have long eyes will shout, why is this young man so similar to His Majesty.

Huo Guogong Chai Shao came with Chai Lingwu.

Li Jing, the Duke of Dai, also brought the Li De Award.

Naturally, Wei Zheng also brought Wei Shuyu with him, after all, this is to let the children go out to see the world, and at the same time, it can exercise their social skills.

Yuchi Baoqi didn't need Yuchi Gong to take her, she would run to Cheng's mansion by herself.

"Brothers, our dean is here too, in the innermost room!"

Cheng Chuliang pulled a few classmates and whispered the news.

The five naturally toasted the dean with full respect.

If it wasn't for Chu Mo and Bao Lin, they would have told the boys to leave immediately.

Li Gen had to drink and get down today.

Even so, when he left Cheng's mansion, Li Gen was already top-heavy.

Youguang and Youliang helped Li Gen to board the carriage with one left and one right support.

"Master Hou, there is someone near the gate of the manor."

In the carriage, although Li Gen did drink too much, he was very conscious.

"If he escaped here, go back and get some dry food for him."

"With this golden plaque from the imperial court, even those who fled will not dare to enter our manor to beg."

The young man in coarse clothes watched the carriage head towards the manor.

It's strange why the four dogs don't come out and bite them.

He has been chased by four dogs no less than ten times.

Every time he got close to the manor within a hundred steps, the four dogs would start chasing him.

As long as they run far away, they will return to the manor in a brazen manner.

"Chunmei, Chunlan, hurry up and make tea for Lord Hou."

When the carriage entered the manor, there was light and light, and he quickly helped Li Gen get off the carriage.

Both Chang Le and Wu Zhao walked out of the room quickly.

Li Gen smelled of alcohol.

Let the two girls pinch their noses with their small hands.

"Brother, why are you drinking so much?"

"Master, you must have jumped into the wine jar, even your clothes smell of wine."

Li Gen smiled and looked at the two girls, knowing that they were worried about him.

"Lele, Wu Zhao, I'm fine, just drink a cup of tea and lie down and sleep for a while."

Hearing this, the two girls rushed to pour tea.

He also carefully blew hot air with his mouth, for fear of scalding Li Gen.

"Master Hou, that young man outside is not a beggar. He came from Luoyang, and he just wanted to enter the Zhuangyuan Academy."

Li Gen nodded and said.

"He came from Luoyang and didn't ride a horse. It's really embarrassing for this young man. You Guang, take the consistent money and give him money."

"By the way, give him another set of books and tell the young man that the academy is full for this year. If you are interested, come back after the imperial examination next year!"

Youguang respectfully took orders and left.

Sitting beside him, Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

I have seen kind-hearted people, but I have never seen such kind-hearted people.

People who have never met before, he is giving books and money.

Always money is not considered money in this family.

Outside, enough to start a family and start a business.

There is light leading the way.

After Li Gen finished his cup of tea, his mind cleared up a lot.

However, it feels more comfortable to sleep.

Just when Li Gen was about to go to bed.

There was a sound of light outside the door.

"Master Hou, I sent them to the boy according to your instructions."

"The boy said that Wang Xuance will always remember Lantian Hou Daen forever."

Li Gen lost all alcohol in an instant.

Wang Xuance!
My god.

Wang Xuance who destroyed a country by one person?

Luoyang came.

That's right, Wang Xuance belongs to Luoyang.

"Youguang, hurry up and catch up with that boy, and bring him to the manor."

There is light leading the way.

Li Yuan stared at Li Gen with an incredulous expression.

Chang Le and Wu Zhao were also confused.

Li Gen's performance was so abnormal that the three of them were not surprised.

Wang Xuance accepted the books and money, and respectfully thanked the manor.

Then turned around and headed for Chang'an City.

"Young man, wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Wang Xuance stopped and turned around excitedly.

"Student Wang Xuance, I have met Lord Hou!"

Youguang brought Wang Xuance into the room.

Wang Xuance bowed respectfully.

"Your name is Wang Xuance, and you came from Luoyang?"

"Are there any relatives at home?"

Li Gen asked carefully.

"The student did come from Luoyang, and both parents are gone."

"The students heard the name of Lord Hou and wanted to worship Lord Hou as their teacher, so they came all the way day and night."

Li Gen turned his head and looked at the ground. The shoes on Wang Xuance's feet could no longer be called shoes.

All the toes were exposed, and the clothes were full of dust and holes.

"Xuance, you have traveled a long distance, and there are no relatives or friends in Chang'an City, so let's stay in the manor for now."

"The students thank the teacher for his great kindness."

Wang Xuance is also an extremely intelligent person, so let's just sit down and see the teacher-student relationship first.

"Xuance, the academy is full of fifty students, but the teacher will use his spare time to teach you."

"Youguang, take Xuan Ce to take a shower and change into new clothes and shoes."

"Students leave for the time being!"

Wang Xuance was taken away by Youguang, and the corner of Li Gen's mouth curled up.

Since Wang Xuance came here to defect to him, how could he let the pearl be dusted again.

Li Gen, who was completely drunk, never felt sleepy again.

Suddenly, the four dogs barked and went straight to the outside of the manor.

What happened today?
Li Gen instructed Youliang to go out and have a look, who is coming from outside?
"Master Hou, there is a young man outside who claims to be from Longyou, admires Master Hou's talent, and came to pay homage to his teacher."

"The boy's name is Xi Junmai!"

Li Gen wanted to decline politely, but when he suddenly heard the word Xi Jun buy, Li Gen's eyes widened.

Today is really too wicked.

In the past, there was Wang Xuance who destroyed a country by one person.

Later, Xi Jun, who has hundreds of people and thousands of riders, will buy it!
"You Liang, bring him in."

Li Gen thought for a while, and keeping one is also keeping, and keeping two is also keeping.

If such a talent is missed, it may be missed forever.

Li Yuan didn't even bother to look at Li Gen this time.

"Oh, I have another pair of chopsticks and a bowl at home!"

"Grandpa is wrong, it's two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls."

Chang Le and Wu Zhao corrected in unison.

Li Gen smiled and shook his head.

No one can understand the potential of the two of them except themselves.

No one can understand!
Xi Junmai is brought into the room by Youliang.

Li Gen stared at Xi Junmai, who was the same age as him.

Although the figure is a little thin, but the heroic feeling has begun to emerge.

Xi Junmai respectfully saluted and kowtowed.

After some inquiries, Li Gen admitted that there was no place in the academy, and if he wanted to stay, he could only give them instructions on their homework in his spare time.

Xi Junmai was naturally happy to salute and kowtow again.

"Student Xi Junmai, thank you teacher for your kindness."

Li Gen smiled and nodded.

Instruct Youliang to take Xi Jun to take a bath, change clothes and shoes.

"Grandpa, it's just two extra pairs of chopsticks, don't take it to heart."

"Grandpa doesn't take it seriously. Anyway, this family business is earned by you, so you can do whatever you want. Grandpa is old, so don't worry about it."

"Teacher, will they both study with the teacher in the future?"

Wu Zhao raised his small head and asked.

"Well, that's all for now."

"Isn't Wu Zhao a senior sister?"

Wu Zhao's words made Li Gen almost overwhelmed.

Chang Le giggled happily.

"Sister Lele, don't laugh, Wu Zhao is serious."

Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.

"In fact, logically speaking, Wu Zhao should indeed be the senior sister. After all, Wu Zhao is the first student of the teacher."

"However, you are too young at this age, you, a senior sister, can control the two of them?"

"Hmph, is it wrong to be young? When the teacher was the top student in high school, he was also the youngest among all the candidates? If the admission is based on age, the teacher may lose his name!"

"Furthermore, Wu Zhao was the first to worship under the teacher. How dare they be disobedient? The ruler in Wu Zhao's hand is not a joke."

Hey!
Li Gen stared at Wu Zhao, he has been so domineering since he was young, no wonder the future will...

"Well, since you are determined to do so, as a teacher, I will fulfill your wish as a senior sister."

"Well, please rest assured, Master, Wu Zhao will definitely teach the two juniors well."

The serious look of the little girl made Li Yuan laugh along with her.

When Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought new clothes and shoes, they appeared in the room again.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Compared with the ragged and unkempt just now.

Appearing in front of everyone now are two handsome and beautiful boys.

Even Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded.

Li Yuan has seen countless people in his life, although there are times when he misses them.

However, the two young men in front of me are indeed a little unusual.

"Xuance, Junmai. Let me introduce you!"

Li Gen introduced his grandfather and sister to them one by one.

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai naturally saluted Li Yuan respectfully.

"This is your senior sister, Wu Zhao!"

Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai were obviously taken aback.

There was only a five or six-year-old girl in front of her, but she turned out to be their elder sister.

"Xuance..."

"You buy..."

"Meet the big sister!"

The teacher's order was hard to disobey, and the two had no choice but to bow to Wu Zhao.

"Well, it's just that it's different if you change your outfit. Now you two are just a little bit like my senior sister and junior brother."

"Since it's your senior sister, it's natural to have the appearance of a senior sister. This is a meeting gift from the senior sister to you two."

Wu Zhao took out two glazed beads and gave one to each of them.

"Glass beads..."

Wang Xuance and Xi Jun bought it and exclaimed.

"Calm down, calm down, how can the gift given by the elder sister be ordinary things."

"Teacher is going to the academy to give lectures every day. The two of you are good to listen to your senior sister's teaching. If you don't obey, the ruler in my senior sister's hand is not a joke."

"Xuance..."

"You buy..."

"Follow the teacher's instruction!"

"Well, it depends on the performance of the two of you in the future."

.........

Tai Chi Palace.

In the Legislative Hall.

Li Junxian hurried to report.

"Your Majesty, after His Highness returned to the manor, he took in two young men."

"Oh, do you know who those two are?"

Li Junxian shook his head upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately stood up.

"Quick, come with me to the manor, if Changle and Gen'er have any surprises."

"Jun Xian, Jun Xian, those Baiqisi spies, are they all made of clay figurines?"

When Li Junxian heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.

If there is an accident, he, the commander of the Baiqi Division, is at the end.

Li Junxian drove the carriage and rushed to the manor non-stop.

"Why is it so lively? No one greets my father when he comes?"

It was just after Wu Zhao finished training Wang Xuance and Xi Jun.

Li Shimin strode into the room.
