In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Chapter 483 The battle between national teachers
Ling Chu was really surprised to learn that the emperor had named Ning Chuyi the crown prince.

Ning Chuyi came over that night, and although he didn't say it explicitly, Lingchu learned from his words that he really had no intention of becoming a prince. Although the prince is dead, the second prince is stupid, and the third prince has a disabled leg, the emperor still has two young princes.

One is the fourth prince Xiao Chengyan, the son of Concubine Pang Hui, and the other is Xiao Fangyi, the son of Concubine Feng Jing.

Although he is still young, the emperor is still in good health. He can wait until they grow up and then select another one to be the crown prince.

Ning Chuyi learned martial arts and always wanted to guard the border. He even asked her if she would leave Kyoto with him after getting married.

Why was he suddenly made a prince?
While he was wondering, a servant hurriedly ran into the flower hall and said, "Princess, princess, Eunuch Cao is here. He said he was following the emperor's oral instructions."

Princess Dingyuan and Ling Chu were both stunned.

King Dingyuan was attending court in the palace. If the emperor had anything to say, he could just declare his audience. Why did he let his father-in-law come to the palace? Could it be that he is no longer in the palace?
Seeing Eunuch Cao who came in next, the princess didn't mince words, "Eunuch Cao, are you looking for the prince?"

Eunuch Cao smiled and said, "King Dingyuan is in the palace. The Za family followed the emperor's instructions and summoned Princess Jiashan to the palace."

Ling Chu was surprised.

The princess was a little worried and wanted to ask Eunuch Cao why the emperor suddenly summoned Ling Chu to the palace.

Eunuch Cao shook his head, "It's not that the Zajia family doesn't want to talk, but it's that the matter can't be explained in a few words. The emperor and the officials are still waiting, and the princess needs to quickly change her clothes and enter the palace with the Zajia family."

Hearing that the emperor and all the officials were waiting, the princess became more and more worried, but she couldn't ask any more questions.

Ling Chu left and returned soon.

Princess Dingyuan was very happy to see her daughter wearing a luxurious princess costume. Thinking that King Dingyuan was still in the palace and would protect her, she felt a little more at ease.

He rode quickly all the way into the palace.

Eunuch Cao led Ling Chu straight to the Jinluan Palace.

As soon as he walked outside the main hall, Eunuch An, who was standing next to the dragon chair, immediately leaned over and whispered to the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced outside the palace, then nodded to Eunuch An.

Eunuch An immediately raised his voice and said, "Xuan...Princess Jiashan..."

Although he didn't know why the emperor suddenly summoned him, Ling Chu didn't have any uneasiness.

He straightened his back, crossed the threshold, and walked towards the palace without looking back.

From the corner of her eye, she saw that her father, Master Xuan Yi and two senior brothers were all there, and their faces were calm. Ling Chu felt even more at ease.

As he got closer, Ling Chu saw Ning Chuyi wearing the prince's clothes. It was just that the emperor and the officials were watching, so Ling Chu couldn't talk to him and glanced at him.

Pay homage to the emperor.

"My daughter pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

The emperor had just conferred the title of crown prince on Ning Chuyi, and he was in a very good mood. I was even more happy to see Ling Chu, who was dressed as a princess, and Ning Chuyi, who was dressed as a prince, standing side by side.

I feel more and more that these two are a perfect match.

He thought to himself that Ning Chuchu liked this girl, and she would be very happy if he gave Yi'er a marriage to the Princess of Jiashan.

Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, the emperor's face did not show any of them.

With a gentle look on his face, he raised his hand towards Lingchu and said, "Sit down."

After listening to the emperor's words, the corners of Ling Chu's mouth twitched again and again.

It turned out that the reason why she was announced to the palace was that the emperor announced in front of all the officials that he would confer her the title of Imperial Preceptor. As a result, she was opposed by most of the officials.

There are two main reasons for the objection. One is that Kun Dao has never been a national preceptor, and the other is that she is too young and not capable enough to be qualified for the position of national preceptor.

All the officials knew that the Emperor's favorite candidate for the Imperial Preceptor was Master Xuan Yi. They believed that he first proposed the appointment of Princess Jiashan as the Imperial Preceptor, just to wait for everyone to object before he proposed to make Master Xuanyi the Imperial Preceptor.

In this way, the officials would not be able to refute the emperor's decision again and again.

Unexpectedly, when everyone raised objections, the emperor did not take the opportunity to propose that Master Xuan Yi should be the national master. Instead, he proposed to summon those Taoist priests who were interested in becoming national teachers into the palace and let them compete in mystical arts together.

The winner is elected as the national advisor.

All the officials felt that the emperor's proposal was reasonable and no one objected.

Ling Chu never thought that she would become a national master, and besides, her master and two senior brothers were both here, no matter which one was more suitable than her. But before she could refuse, Master Xuan Yi said, "Go ahead and let me see if your skills have improved."

Ling Chu knew that his master had never liked the constraints of the palace's rules, but she also wanted freedom.

"Master, Senior Brother's skills are as good as yours. It's better to let Senior Brother do it, lest I embarrass you."

Ji Yuan smiled and shook his head at her, "Master is old. I am the senior brother and I have to serve him everywhere."

Ling Chu couldn't refute what Senior Brother said.

Seeing her eyes looking at him, Qingfeng immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered, "Don't look at me. If I hadn't been tired of all the rules in Beijing, I wouldn't have gone to Xuanqing Temple to become a disciple. I I don’t want to be a national master, I also want to go to Jiangnan to see the beautiful scenery everywhere.”

Qingfeng spoke so quietly that other officials did not hear him, but the emperor could guess that he did not want to be restrained.

Master Xuan Yi glared at him and turned to Ling Chu.

"You are my personal disciple, don't belittle yourself. Go ahead."

"Your Majesty, since Princess Jiashan has arrived, can we start?"

The person who spoke was a Taoist priest. Seeing that Master Xuan Yi and his disciples kept talking, he had already become impatient.

Ling Chu didn't pay attention before, but now he turned around and took a look and realized that there were five Taoist priests standing on the right side of Baiguan.

I think they are Taoists who came to compete for the position of national preceptor.

The emperor also wanted to see what they were capable of.

To compete with Xuan Shu, naturally it cannot be done in the Jinluan Palace.

The emperor got up from the dragon chair and walked out.

The officials immediately followed him with cheers.

Ling Chu knew that he could not refuse, so he could only participate.

There was an open space on the right side of Jinluan Hall. After arriving, Lingchu discovered that six high platforms of different heights had been set up. Obviously it is used for the Taoist priests to compete in spells.

There were more than a dozen tables and chairs placed ten feet away from the high platform, and the emperor sat down at his head.

Although Master Xuan Yi refused to be a national advisor, the emperor always treated him with great courtesy and gave him a seat directly.

The eunuch chief An Gonggong explained the rules of the game on behalf of the emperor. The first round was to control the wind and rain.

Knowing that the emperor liked a Taoist priest, all those who came to attend were Taoist priests, not monks.

Qingfeng did not follow Xuan Yi, but stood on Ling Chu's side. When she saw someone coming up to the altar, he immediately introduced her, "That is Taoist Master Yunfeng from Sanqing Mountain."

Ling Chu's eyes fell on him with some admiration.

The one that Taoist Master Yunfeng was on was the tallest Dharma platform, about twenty feet high. He just cast a spell and flew up. After sitting down cross-legged, he used a spell to rise another ten feet.

It seems that he is really good at it.

Following closely behind was Master Wei Ran, also from Sanqingshan.

Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng from Baiyun Temple looked at each other and moved at the same time.

The two chose the two lowest platforms.

Lu Zhenren of Yongle Palace raised his eyes and glanced at Ling Chu, then walked towards the fifth altar.

Seeing Ling Chu looking up at the remaining altar, he didn't move.

Someone sneered.

"The princess is too afraid to go up?"
