"Who is Li Shindong, who is Li Shindong...?"
In the noisy crowd, such a sharp voice suddenly appeared, quickly attracting people's attention.
The bosses were very discerning and saw that this was the eunuch delivering the order, and quickly deduced that the emperor was choosing a teacher for the prince.
"Brother Yang, who is Li Shentong?"
"Uh...I don't know...Brother Bai, do you know who Li Shentong is?"
"This... isn't clear!"
"Brother Lu, do you know?"
Xie Qian couldn't help but look disappointed when he saw that many of the big guys he had been having a heated discussion with just now were discussing Li Shentong, but then he returned to normal. The prince had more than one or two teachers, so it didn't matter.
The little eunuch walked forward arrogantly and shouted: "Stop shouting, who among you knows who is Li Shentong? Tell us quickly, the emperor wants to announce him to the palace!"
For now, the eunuch cannot be restrained, but the eunuch who delivers the decree can be restrained, because at this moment he is the imperial envoy, and the imperial envoy represents the emperor's will.
Soon, a senior Hanlin officer came forward and asked, "The emperor is looking for Li Dongyang, Li Shentong, who was ranked first in the second class in the 12th year of Jingtai, and was awarded the Hanlin Shujishi?"
The little eunuch didn't know which one the emperor was looking for, but he just said: "Are there other Li Shentongs?"
"This... seems to be gone."
"That's him, where are the others?"
"Father, wait a moment," this Hanlin was busy and immediately acted as an errand boy, shouting from all the way: "Bin Zhi, Bin Zhi brother...!"

"Brother Bin... hurry up, the imperial envoy is here."
"Come on, come on." Li Dongyang smiled calmly, changed his position and continued reading.
"Oh, Binzhi, the imperial envoy is here to see you," the Hanlin said anxiously, "the emperor wants to summon you to the palace to see him."
"Ah?" Li Dongyang was stunned, then stood up quickly, "Dang, seriously..."
"Brother Bin...!"
The noise gradually approached, and colleagues who had not interacted with each other much in the past rushed over. Seeing this, Li Dongyang became inexplicably excited.
Although the real situation is not yet certain, it is obvious that something big happened to him.
"Get off, get off..." A sharp and angry voice sounded, "We are the imperial envoys, and you are the imperial envoys? Can you bear the delay in delaying what the emperor has assigned you?"
Soon, a young man in eunuch uniform came forward and looked him up and down, "Are you Li Shentong?"
"The prodigy dare not," Li Dongyang bowed his hands, "Student Li Dongyang has seen the best."
No matter how disliked eunuchs are, they must be respected enough. This is the rule.
"Well, come with us. Don't keep the emperor waiting." The little eunuch was polite. He couldn't offend the people the emperor appointed to see him. His status as an imperial envoy only lasted for a while.
"Get out of the way, stop crowding around. Don't you have anything to do with your own business?" The imperial envoy in a moment is also an imperial envoy. He deserves to be majestic. After passing this village, there will be no such store.
Everyone's expressions were sarcastic, and they consciously moved out of the way, looking at Li Dongyang full of envy.
Li Dongyang only felt that the ups and downs in life happened so quickly and urgently that he couldn't even react.
There was one person who sympathized with him, and that was Xie Qian in the distance.
However, there are also big ups and downs, one is flying from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, and the other is falling from the top of the mountain into the valley.
Xie Zhuangyuan watched Li Shentong go away from a distance, feeling as if he would never see him again.
The big guys who were chatting and laughing with him just now just had a casual chat with him, and followed him out of the Hanlin Academy, one behind the other, with completely different attitudes.
Xie Qian, who had not really entered the officialdom, learned the most important lesson in life: officialdom is snobbish!
…
Qianqing Palace.
Li Dongyang walked in with the little eunuch. At this time, he was no longer embarrassed as before, he could easily cross the threshold, and he would no longer be jokingly called: a prodigy with short legs.
However, the peaceful mentality of childhood is no longer there.
After briefly glancing at the father and son on the throne, Li Dongyang quickly lowered his head, feeling inexplicably excited. Although he tried his best to calm down, his face could not help but turn red.
The emperor of tomorrow, the king of this world! The Prince of Ming Dynasty, the future king!
How not to get excited?
"Your Majesty, the prodigy Li Dongyang has arrived." The young eunuch replied and then exited the hall.
Li Dongyang secretly took a deep breath, lifted his robes and saluted: "Long live my humble minister, Li Dongyang, and see my prince live a thousand lives."
"Flat body!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Dongyang stood up, lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, feeling excited and nervous.
Zhu Jianshen looked him up and down, nodded slightly, and asked, "Have you ever worked with Marquis Yongqing?"
Li Dongyang hurriedly held up his hands and said: "My colleagues don't dare to do it. I am lucky enough to be the deputy to Yongqing Marquis. It didn't last long and I gained a lot."
That's right... Zhu Jianshen said: "The crown prince is the foundation of the country. He is already at the end of his sixth year, so there must be no further delay in teaching. I order you to be the prince's lecturer!"
After a pause, he added: "The only Prince's Lecturer in the Hanlin Academy!"
Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time before he came back to his senses. He immediately bowed down and said in a trembling voice: "I will do my best!"
He was mentally prepared to be the prince's lecturer, but being the only prince's lecturer in the Imperial Academy was beyond his expectations. gōΠb.ōγg
What a great trust!
Li Dongyang felt it was untrue. Firstly, he had no contact with the emperor before, and secondly, he was a Jinshi during the late emperor's period. According to common sense, his destiny was to be decentralized, and it would be good to start as a county magistrate.
After all...there is one emperor and one courtier, and the current emperor and the previous emperor are not in a father-son relationship.
However, now he has directly become the prince, and he is the only one in the civil service system.
This, he never dared to dream of!
After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is that Marquis Yongqing said good things to him, otherwise, the current emperor would never look down on him.
While ecstatic and grateful, Li Dongyang was also shocked.
The Marquis of Yongqing has gone out of power, but he still has such influence, which shows how terrifying he was at his peak.
"Get settled!" Zhu Jianshen said, "After you become the prince's lecturer, you will inevitably face all kinds of temptations. I hope you stick to your heart and don't be disturbed by external things."
Li Dongyang just stood up and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Wei Chen, please remember this!"
"Well, that's good!" Zhu Jianshen chuckled and nodded.
Although Li Dongyang has been in the Imperial Academy for so many years, he is still a newbie in officialdom. It is better to be clear about who he wants to say and what kind of words he should use.
"From now on, we will give lessons to the prince in the side hall of Qianqing Palace, once in the morning and once in the afternoon." Zhu Jianshen said, "As for the Hanlin Academy... we can be more relaxed and focus on the prince's courses."
"I obey the order."
Zhu Jianshen said: "Just step back."
"Yes, Wei Chen is retiring." Li Dongyang bowed his hands, and before leaving, he couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked: "Wei Chen is brave, Wei Chen is not outstanding in the Imperial Academy, why does the emperor...?"
"You were recommended by Marquis Yongqing!" Zhu Jianshen said openly, "I don't believe in you, but in his vision. Of course, if you are embarrassed for the big job, I will replace you with someone else. I hope you will perform well."
Li Dongyang confirmed his doubts, said yes, and walked out...
On the way out of the palace, Li Dongyang's excitement calmed down a little, and he couldn't help but think of what Yongqing Hou said -
Is always shining gold!
I have never forgotten my lover's family, but I was too impatient... Li Dongyang felt ashamed.
His heart calmed down, and the future was already promising. What he had to do now was to strengthen his basic abilities step by step, so as to prevent opportunities from being missed due to his own abilities in the future.
As soon as he left the palace gate, a group of big guys gathered around him, full of enthusiasm and even more affectionate to Xie Qian than before.
Li Dongyang responded calmly and without losing etiquette, but there was also a hint of rejection.
The emperor has made it clear, how can he be easily tempted.
A big boss is a big boss after all, and he has his own pride. It is just an investment, not even a bet. If the younger guys don't know how to praise, they will not let down their status.
Teacher Prince, you are not the only one. You don’t want to get closer, but there are people who do.
However, the big bosses also understood that Li Dongyang's weight must be better than that of other prince ministers if he could be summoned by the emperor alone.
Frankly speaking, they miscalculated this time. Who would have thought that the emperor would not reuse the new top scholar, but instead use an old Hanlin who didn't even have a helmet.
He was also a Jinshi during the Jingtai period.
What about the promised emperor and courtiers?
After failing here, he had no choice but to move to the Hanlin Academy. No matter what, Xie Zhuangyuan still had good investment prospects.
…
The plot surrounding the prince is far more than that. The harem is equally exciting, and its level of excitement is even greater.
Concubine Ji Shu, who had been transparent for many years, was instantly popular. From slaves to concubines, everyone surrounded her. It was a lively event.
However, along with the excitement, there is also danger.
When you suddenly gain momentum, most people will be kind to you, but not everyone is like that, especially those who are still above you even after you gain momentum.
After facing a possible threat to you, jealousy and even malice are often filled.
For example, Queen Wang!
Even though she was not favored, she was still the queen. No matter how powerful Zhen'er was, he still had to bow to her when he saw her, even if it was perfunctory.
In the harem, apart from Queen Mother Zhou, she was the eldest.
Of course, even though Concubine Ji Shu gave birth to a dragon son, she was still under her, but this was only now, not necessarily in the future.
When the prince ascends the throne in the future, Concubine Ji Shu will become the Holy Mother Queen Mother. With the blessing of the emperor's son, her status as queen mother... may be inferior to others.
Queen Wang has always been responsible. In addition to being afraid of the emperor, there is another important point, that is, as long as she endures, she will eventually become the master of the harem.
But now everything has changed...
She wanted to recognize the prince as her son. She had tried hard when Bai Shi gave birth to her son, but failed.
However, the former prince's early death also made her secretly happy for a while.
She knew the general situation somewhat, so she approached Queen Mother Zhou.
The same relationship is between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Here Zhen'er is incompatible with each other, but when it comes to Queen Wang, they are sympathetic to mother and daughter.
Kunning Palace.
Empress Wang came over with exquisite snacks. After she retreated, she started chatting with the Empress Dowager Zhou about daily life, while secretly bringing it to the Prince...
Empress Dowager Zhou, like Zhen'er, used to hang out with the Sun family, so she was quite good at it, and she quickly heard Empress Wang's appeal.
"You want to adopt a prince?"
