The next day.
The sky is clear and cloudless, and I don't know if the looming sunlight can hold it.
Looking around, there were only a few scattered bird shadows flying in the lonely sky, which seemed a bit cold.
In the famous mansion.
The spacious yard is spotless, and many flower beds are neatly trimmed.
The red pillars in the corridor looked like they had just been painted, they were bright and flawless.
There are also several rare birds living in the gardens on both sides of the avenue leading from the mansion gate to the main hall.
They were chirping, adding a little life to the mansion.
Many people were busy with their heads down, and everything seemed very orderly.
In the main hall, the great name of the Fire Country was sitting behind the curtain, and a group of ministers and staff were kneeling on both sides.
In the middle, two young men were kneeling. One had a thin face and a gentle expression, but upon closer inspection, he looked slightly dull.
The other one has a fat head and big ears, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes from time to time.
These two people were His Highness and His Highness the Second Highness of the Country of Fire respectively.
The daimyo looked at His Highness, his eyes full of admiration, and the smile on his face could not be hidden, and he said softly:
"Naraku, I heard that you have been shutting yourself in your room and reading a book recently. When you have time, go out for more leisure activities. Don't be too tired."
"Thank you for your concern, Father." His Highness bent towards the figure behind the curtain, but the expression on his face did not change.
The daimyo shifted his gaze to His Highness the Second, but his expression completely changed.
He frowned and looked at this troubled second son, took a deep breath and said:
"As for Nahara, look at what good things you have done during this time?"
His Highness the Second Highness did not take the daimyo's question seriously and said: "My son, I have been staying at the house honestly during this period."
"You are staying in the house, but you know what you did in the house."
The daimyo was trying his best to control his anger. After all, in the public eye, he couldn't corrupt his temper to avoid being criticized.
Upon hearing this, His Highness the Second Highness muttered: "Aren't you just playing with a few little girls? I paid for them all. What's wrong with that?"
The daimyo did not expect that his son would say such immoral words in front of many officials.
He immediately became furious, slapped the chopping board and shouted angrily: "You still have the nerve to say it."
All the ministers were originally sitting cross-legged in front of the curtain, and at first they just had an attitude that it had nothing to do with them.
But now that the daimyo lost his temper, he had no choice but to say something, so he quickly comforted him:
"Lord, please calm down. Your Highness is young and ignorant. Please don't get so angry over this."
"Yes, my lord, your health is important."
"Please, my lord, please calm down."
"Huhu~"
The daimyo, who let out a long sigh of relief, also realized that he had indeed lost his sense of proportion just now.
After calming down for a while, he said in a tone that said:
"I will find a teacher for you in the next two days and ask him to properly discipline you for your temper.
Naraku, this teacher will explain a lot of government affairs to you. You should listen carefully. "
His Highness responded honestly: "Thank you very much, Father."
Seeing his eldest son being so obedient and well-behaved, the daimyo felt somewhat comforted.
But then, His Highness the Second Highness on the side had a face full of reluctance and said perfunctorily: "Thank you, Father."
Seeing the expression of His Highness the Second Prince, the daimyo felt upset again, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, all of you, please step aside."
After the two of them saluted and left the hall, the daimyo calmed down, looked at the many ministers and said:
"Everyone, I wonder if you have any suitable teacher candidates you can recommend."
While the ministers were looking at each other and discussing with each other, the Minister of the Interior came out and said:
"My lord, a prodigy has appeared in the Fire Capital recently, and the news has spread throughout the city.
I think he can come and teach your two highnesses. "
But the daimyo just lowered his eyes, not thinking that the so-called folk wizards were capable of teaching the two highnesses well, and waited quietly for recommendations from other ministers.
When another minister saw this, he immediately came out and said:
"My lord, I have also heard that this person is rumored to be extremely talented. Many people can't write down the test paper, but he actually answered it with ease."
The daimyo raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said with interest:
"Is this true?"
"This matter has been spread throughout the city. I think this person might as well give it a try."
The proposal of these two ministers was seconded by many ministers.
They had heard about these rumors a long time ago, and were inevitably a little curious about this prodigy, but they had never seen his true appearance.
Because everyone who came to visit was turned away.
If the daimyo sent someone to invite the teacher of their two highnesses, the people from the Beicheng Guards would not be able to refuse.
They also took this opportunity to satisfy their curiosity.
The daimyo thought for a moment and asked the Minister of Internal Affairs: "Then do you know his whereabouts and identity."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Interior lowered his head instantly and said with an embarrassed look on his face:
"I only know that this great talent is named Abe Seimei. He is from the Zhifu Mountain area outside Beicheng. I don't know anything else."
The joy on the daimyo's face faded, and he said with dissatisfaction in his tone: "Since you don't know him well, how dare you recommend him, what if he is sent by an enemy country."
Although the daimyo didn't know the details of Abe Jingming's family background, he was also very curious about this amazing prodigy.
After thinking for a moment, he still asked:
"Please tell me what the rumors are specifically."
"This has to start with the North City Guards that day..."
........
After listening to the stories of the ministers, the daimyo touched his beard, narrowed his eyes and said:
"But these are just rumors after all, without any basis."
The Minister of the Interior said:
"My Lord, as far as I know, Mr. Jingming is teaching a group of orphans in the Beicheng Guard House.
I heard that the captain of the North City Guard is a ninja from Konoha and has a good relationship with Shinnosuke-sama.
It would be better for Mr. Shinnosuke to go to Beicheng Weifu and get the test paper that Mr. Qingming answered that day.
Whether this is just a false reputation or a truly astonishing talent, you can tell at a glance. "
The daimyo felt that what he said made sense, and decided to take a look at the miraculous test paper that was rumored to be so popular.
He immediately decided:
"Okay, let Shinnosuke get the test questions. I want to see if this Abe Keimei is as powerful as you say."
If he is really that powerful, then this kind of person will definitely be included in the mansion for his own use.
Then he ordered his attendants to go to Shinnosuke's mansion and asked Shinnosuke to go to Beicheng Guards Mansion to ask for the test papers.
Half an hour later, Shinnosuke hurried back to the Daming Mansion, came to the palace, handed the test paper to the attendant, and said to the Daiming:
"Your Highness, Tunan said, this thing can only be seen by you alone.
After reading it, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to show it to the ministers. "
"oh?"
The daimyo became interested immediately. After the attendant checked whether there were any problems with the test paper, he took the test paper and started reading.
Regarding this test paper, it has been almost deified among the people.
When the ministers saw the test paper, their eyes lit up, and some stretched their necks to see what was on it.
But because of the curtain, nothing was gained.
The daimyo noticed the restlessness below, coughed twice, and started by introducing himself.
"End of the World...
This name sounds very artistic when you hear it.
Do you know where Duan Tianya is? "
The ministers looked at each other, shook their heads and said:
"Never heard of it."
The daimyo nodded and continued to look down.
When he saw the emperor's mental skills, his pupils shrank instantly and his whole body was shaken. Then he took a deep breath to stabilize his mentality.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the curtain that blocked everyone's view, and then raised the test paper slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the daimyo's entire mind was immersed in the test paper.
Although Uchiha Tunan did not write the specific content of one technique, two strategies and six arts on the test paper.
But after reading the all-encompassing content at the end, Dai Mingguang already decided in his heart that the so-called Abe Keimei was a great talent with extensive knowledge of the past and present.
He also firmly believes in the one technique and two strategies introduced at the beginning.
After reading the test paper, the daimyo exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful."
Then he shouted to the attendants:
"Go, quickly go and get Mr. An... Jingming's information. I want to check it myself."
When the ministers saw the daimyo being so excited, the curiosity in their hearts tickled like ants, hoping that they would be lucky enough to have a look at this amazing test paper.
Following an order, the attendants of the Daming Palace soon retrieved Abe Keimei's life history from various channels.
The daimyo took the information handed over by the attendant and read it carefully.
For the ruler of a country, when he discovers a capable person, he must investigate all his information.
Especially since this person is going to be a teacher for his two sons, he needs to check whether the background is clean, otherwise he will not dare to use it.
The daimyo looked back and forth several times, picked up the black and white photo, looked at it, and murmured:
"This look...
At first glance, it is very different from ordinary people.
It seems that Mr. Jingming is of a very high level. "
The relieved daimyo handed the information to his attendants and said loudly:
"The morning meeting is over. Call the guards. I want to visit Mr. Jingming in person."
