Chapter 1153 Old Master Yun
Shao Yunduan was also very surprised.
But of course he couldn't let go of this opportunity that came right to his doorstep.
What Shao Yunduan was going to talk about was a passage from the Book of Documents. He had made sufficient preparations long ago, and his speech was very smooth and effortless. When all the ministers listened, even those who had opinions about him could not help but praise him in secret.
I sighed in my heart, no wonder the emperor was always thinking about his new top scholar, this top scholar was indeed a man of great talent and learning!
Emperor Xuan of Qi was even more delighted!
He himself was not very good at poetry, but he was very proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. He could tell whether Shao Yunduan was good at poetry or not without anyone telling him.
Sure enough, he was not wrong about the person.
What a talented person!
Emperor Xuan of Qi was so pleased that he immediately rewarded Shao Yunduan with a set of four treasures of the study and a handwritten copy of the Shangshu by a famous calligrapher which was treasured in the palace.
Originally thought that this was the end, but unexpectedly, the prince heard a clue from Shao Yunduan's lecture.
Afterwards, he was summoned to the East Palace, and upon further questioning, it turned out that Mr. Yun, Shao Yunduan's teacher, was actually the retired Prince's Tutor!
Mr. Yun, the Prince's Tutor, is a great scholar of our time. He has served as a member of the Hanlin Academy, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and was granted the title of Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. Before he became the Prince's Tutor, he had many students all over the world.
It was also because of his high reputation and wide network of contacts that after the Crown Prince came to the palace to supervise the country together with the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, he resigned from his post again and again, disregarded all affairs, and went on a journey around.
His staying in the court would do no good to the prince and would only make him fearful.
The prince obviously understood this truth and felt helpless about it. He could only watch his respected tutor leave the capital.
The prince was the student that Old Master Yun taught most carefully, and the prince also respected this teacher very much. Many of the things that Old Master Yun taught Shao Yunduan were very familiar to the prince, and he became suspicious, so he asked the person and asked him. Then he asked someone to bring the portrait of the old master, and it turned out to be the same person!
This time, the prince was surprised and happy, while Shao Yunduan was completely confused.
No wonder Mr. Yun refused to accept him as his disciple and did not allow him to call him master.
After the Crown Prince, Old Tutor Yun never accepted another disciple.
The prince was really delighted. Although Shao Yunduan was not his formal junior brother with a title and status, he was also taught by his master himself!
No wonder, he felt vaguely familiar with Shao Yunduan's articles when he read them before. He learned the essence of his master's style, and Shao Yunduan also learned some things. He felt a sense of déjà vu at first glance.
But I didn’t think about it that time.
The prince was truly regretful, otherwise, he would have recognized Shao Yunduan a long time ago.
Although this expression of "recognition" seems a little strange.
The prince looked at Shao Yunduan with shining eyes, and couldn't wait to ask him about the condition of the old master. When he looked at Shao Yunduan again, he felt that he was very kind.
You have to know that Master Yun has never contacted him since he left Beijing. It seems that he has really let go of everything and is traveling freely.
Whenever the Crown Prince thought of the old tutor, he felt longing and melancholy in his heart. He hoped that the old tutor would return to the capital, but he also understood his old tutor's painstaking efforts.
It would be best for him not to go to Beijing.
My father has great trust in the old tutor. His position has been shaky but he has never lost it, and a big reason for that is because of the old tutor.
