Li Jue stood listlessly in the last row, which immediately caught Xiao Yu's attention.

Why is the eldest grandson of the legitimate wife standing while listening to the lecture?

Li Jue answered without hesitation.

“Sir, standing while listening to the lecture is a sign of respect!”

"oh?"

Upon hearing this absurd reason, Xiao Yu's face immediately revealed a meaningful smile.

This grandson must have been punished by His Majesty again, which is why he doesn't dare to sit and listen to the lesson!

However, since Li Jue said that, he, as the teacher, also had an obligation to protect his student's reputation, so he immediately praised Li Jue a few times.

"That's good, a child who respects his teacher!"

Li Zhi was so angry when he heard Xiao Yu say that he pouted. If he wasn't afraid of being called mean, he would have told everyone about Li Jue being beaten.

Li Zhi knew what Li Jue was all about, but that didn't mean others did.

Seeing that Li Jue was praised by the teacher for standing while listening to the lesson, the others immediately followed suit and stood up as well.

Before long, a large number of students in the classroom stood up.

Seeing that everyone else was standing and listening to the lecture while he was the only one sitting, Li Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable.

If this gets out, wouldn't outsiders say that I don't respect my teacher?

Thinking of this, Li Zhi had no choice but to stand up, even though he was feeling a bit awkward.

Xiao Yu was secretly delighted to see everyone standing and listening to the lecture, but he kept his expression serious and continued lecturing.

However, just as Xiao Yu was engrossed in his lecture, he suddenly saw an old acquaintance at the door.

"Yang Shidao, have you come to the East Palace on business?"

"Yes, I have!"

"What is it?"

"This humble official will seek the approval of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat to issue the official appointment!"

"ah?"

When Yang Shidao said this, not only was Xiao Yu stunned, but everyone else in Chongwen Hall was also dumbfounded.

Has the imperial court appointed a Minister of the Imperial Secretariat?

Wasn't the position of Minister of the Imperial Secretariat held before His Majesty ascended the throne? When was it granted to someone else?

Who is the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat?

Could it be the crown prince?

Just as they were filled with suspicion, Yang Shidao came to Li Jue.

"Respectfully requesting the use of the Imperial Seal by the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat!"
