His Majesty Li II also raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a bit more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Zhuang Zhou.

He knew in his heart that although Zhuang Zhou was young, he did have extraordinary talent and knowledge.

Moreover, he also needed someone who was brave enough to speak out and was not afraid of power to teach the prince.

And Zhuang Zhou is the right person.

"I think the Duke of Zhuang is just good at talking!"

At this time, another old man who looked like a Confucian scholar stood up.

Zhuang Zhou took a look and, well, he didn’t recognize him at all.

"What is this old gentleman's name?"

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect that there was someone in the court who didn't recognize him.

Li Er then said:

"Zhuang Zhou, this is Mr. Yan Shigu, the Junior Secretary."

Yan Shigu?

The grandson of the famous Confucian scholar Yan Zhitui.

Born into a Confucian family, he studied Confucianism since childhood, read widely and became well-versed in knowledge.

He is very familiar with the history of Confucian classics since the Han Dynasty.

All right!

He is also a master of Confucianism.

Zhuang Zhou thought it was interesting. Was he going to have a debate with the scholars today?

"It turns out to be Mr. Yan. I've heard of your great name for a long time!"

After all, he was a scholar, so Zhuang Zhou still respected him and gave him a scholar's greeting.

Seeing this, Yan Zhitui returned the greeting and continued:

"I have also heard of the talent and learning of the Earl of Zhuang County.

Especially the line 'I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, when I turned around, he was there, in the dim light'.

It is indeed a brilliant piece of writing, and I am not as good as it.

However, the position of the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor is of great importance.

This is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.

The crown prince is the heir apparent to the throne, and his education is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the selection of the Prince's Junior Tutor must be carefully considered.

Although Zhuangxianbo is quite talented and poetic, he is still young and full of energy, and lacks experience.

Then he turned to Li Er and bowed deeply:

"Your Majesty, I also believe that the Earl of Zhuang County is not qualified for the important task of being the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor."
