Feng Shi, this damn old man, is usually a Jiang Zi, how can he still be my teacher?
Just being taught in front of him can annoy people to death!
Just as he was about to politely refuse, he saw Xiao Chen wink at him and immediately changed his words, "I obey the order and will go to the Hanlin Academy to become Feng Shi's disciple later!"
"Well, as the old saying goes, master and disciple are like father and son. Although you are my son, you must treat Feng Shi as an elder and treat me as an elder. You must not disobey even a little, otherwise I will punish you severely! "Li Wanjiang taught his son in public and spoke harshly, but Li Qiu could only obey and show trepidation.
After leaving the palace, there was no one around, so Li Qiu began to complain to Xiao Chen, "Brother Xiao, what did you mean just now? I obviously had an excuse to resign, so what did you wink at me? Don't ever tell me that you will I misunderstood you! If this is the case, I will never forgive you in my life, that damn old man Feng Shi..."
"Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid with me?" Xiao Chen said, "Don't you know why the emperor asked Feng Shi to be your teacher?"
"Why is he just trying to set me up? And he didn't let me take charge of the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, but instead took charge of several irrelevant and useless departments. Is this suppressing me?"
"Sigh... you really don't understand the emperor's painstaking care for you at all." Xiao Chen said, "You already have military power in your hands now, and you still manage the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for no purpose? It's not a waste of time. Is it a waste of energy? Who else said that the Ministry of Rites, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, and Qintian Prison are not important? "
"Is it important?" Li Qiu's eyes widened and he looked confused.
"Let's not talk about this. Let me just say that the emperor sent Feng Shi to be your teacher not to set you up, but to give you a solid layer of armor. You only know that Feng Shi is a dead old man, but you don't know that he is in the imperial court. Internal and external influence, right?”
"He is just a celebrity, what influence does he have?" Li Qiu said.
"He is not only a famous scholar, but also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy! His seniority in the Great Zhou Dynasty is unparalleled! Many officials in our court are all from the Hanlin Academy, and they are all his students... ...Even a man as distinguished as Chen Wenqi would respectfully call him Teacher Feng when meeting him!"
"That's true. I see that the old man's arrogance is as big as the sky. He ignores everyone and talks to me, the prince, in a condescending and lecturing tone!" Li Qiudao.
"What's the point of teaching you a lesson?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "He even taught Mr. Chen Jisheng a lesson back then. Just because Mr. Chen joined one of his students at that time, the old man went straight to the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and even Mr. Chen avoided it. If you don't reach it, you'll just slip away."
"Chen Jisheng even dares to scold the emperor, but why are you afraid of him being a dead old man?" Li Qiuqi said.
"It's not fear, but respect, because this old man is a gentleman. Mr. Chen is not afraid of anything, but he is also afraid of a gentleman. And Zhao Yu has a temper. When he sees him, the old man will look down upon him."
"Even so, I don't want him to be my teacher. I'm tired of hearing him talk to me all day long!" Li Qiudao.
"You have to listen when I'm annoyed, you have to endure when I'm being scolded, you have to endure the scolding, you have to smile when I'm beaten, and you have to respect him like a god!" Xiao Chen said, "You just know that he is I'm afraid you, the Hanlin Academy student, don't know that he is the only person in our Zhou Dynasty who almost became the prince's minor security guard, right?"
"Ah?" Li Qiu was shocked when he heard this and was stunned.
"We in Zhou Dynasty do not have the position of Prince Shaobao. When Li Xian became the Crown Prince, someone suggested it, but the Emperor always wanted to do it himself and train him personally. Later... Later, when he saw that the Prince was doing something ridiculous, the Emperor thought of giving it to him again. The teacher he looked for was Feng Shi, but it was a pity that the prince died before Feng Shi could go." Xiao Chen said.
"So Brother Xiao, what do you mean..." Li Qiu asked excitedly.
"My meaning is not important. What is important is the Emperor's meaning. I think the Emperor means this, otherwise what else could it mean?"
"Oh...then me?" Li Qiu was still in shock.
"Then you should immediately go to the Hanlin Academy to worship Feng Shi as your disciple. What I mean is worship. You need to really kneel down to worship. It is best to wait in front of everyone. Although Feng Shi is a gentleman, he also wants to save face. He will definitely be happy if you do this, at least he won't be angry, so it's not surprising that there are so many people." Xiao Chen said.
"It's okay for me to worship him, but I am the prince after all, and he is a minister after all. If I kneel down in public, I'm afraid it will break the rules and make a joke." Li Qiu said.
"Teacher of the Lord of Heaven and Earth!" Xiao Chen said, "You are still a person who has read books, but you don't even understand this truth? Don't say that you are just a prince now. Even if you are a prince, you have to worship him. Of course, if you become the emperor, No……"
"Then I listen to Brother Xiao. It doesn't really matter. I'm afraid that it won't be easy to get along with him in the future. If he gets confused and tries to reason with me every day, then I can do other things. Son?" Li Qiu said.
"Don't think that you are a little clever and think that everyone else is an old fool!" Xiao Chen said, "If Feng Shi was really a fool, could the emperor allow him to be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, or the crown prince's eunuch! Let me tell you, his old man is by no means a burden, but your Dapeng Wings!"
Li Qiu also disagreed with this. He felt that Brother Xiao's words were too exaggerated. Anyway, I think Feng Shi was just an old fool...
Not an old fool, but also an old scholar.
Bai Wuyi is a scholar, so as long as his old man is not a burden to me, I will be thankful. If Yu Yi's words are not pointed at him, it will be Brother Xiao, you and Lin Qi.
I originally wanted to drag Xiao Chen to accompany him, but Xiao Chen said you don't want to see that old man, so I am willing to see him?
Besides, I would be embarrassed to watch you perform the apprenticeship ceremony for him, so you should go alone. If I come with you, it will seem like you are too grand...
Li Qiu had no choice but to say goodbye to Xiao Chen and went straight to the Hanlin Academy. Feng Shi obviously knew that he would come, so he already had his posture in place. He squinted his eyes and stroked his beard and sat calmly listening to him talk about his apprenticeship. He only nodded slightly.
Li Qiu thought that Feng Shi would be polite to him and spare him the courtesy, but looking at his virtue, he was just waiting for him to kneel down...
He had no choice but to kneel down and bow down to the dead old man in an upright manner. He thought that Feng Shi would scream immediately after the ceremony, but Feng Shi still didn't say a word even after standing up half his body.
Inwardly cursing the old man for his lack of manners, he had no choice but to kneel down again.
"Originally, you are the prince and I am the minister. I would never dare to accept such a great gift from you. But now that the emperor has asked me to be your teacher, we have to start from the master-disciple perspective. Since you have become my disciple, There are some things I have to say up front..."
Feng Shi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat as he spoke. It seemed that he was going to talk in a long way...
"Disciple, please listen to your teachings!" Li Qiu was angry, but he didn't dare to get angry yet, so he could only speak louder on purpose.
