The emperor tensed up a little when he heard his daughter's inner voice.
Look familiar?
Could it be some bad guy who wants to harm him again?
[I remember now. Isn't this Li Yunhe, the eldest son of Prime Minister Li, who has been studying martial arts abroad since he was young? He is indeed a man of great talent and appearance!]
The emperor was so anxious, so you should tell me the point.
[While it's true that Li Yunhe is talented, the world only knows that he studied martial arts outside his hometown. Little do they know that he was taught by Min Qiu, an expert in the study of the emperor. Grand Tutor Fang was truly thoughtful in inviting Li Yunhe to assist the Crown Prince.]
After hearing this, the emperor felt relieved but also a little surprised.
Min Qiu was a talented person that everyone wanted to bring into their country. When he was still the crown prince, my father sent people to invite him, but unfortunately he was rejected several times. My father regretted it for a long time.
Later, the Crown Prince of Yulou Kingdom used some unknown method to invite Min Qiu to come out of seclusion and assist him in ascending the throne.
With the help of Min Qiu, the Yulou Kingdom rose rapidly, and it took only a few years for it to transform from a tiny country that anyone could step on into a great power.
This made other countries regret not inviting Min Qiu into their camp even more.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the country became stronger, the emperor of Yulou Kingdom began to refuse to listen to Min Qiu's opinions. Because of their political differences, Min Qiu resigned from the position of prime minister of Yulou Kingdom and retired to the mountains.
Without him, the Yulou Kingdom gradually declined until it was destroyed.
The imperial study was silent. The emperor did not speak, and Li Yunhe had no intention of speaking.
[No, why didn't the tyrant tell Li Yunhe to stand up? He's a future prime minister, and the Crown Prince needs someone like him to assist him.]
The emperor came back to his senses, gestured to Li Yunhe to stand up with a pleasant expression, and gave him a seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Yunhe lifted his robe slightly and said after sitting down, "I am Li Yunhe, a commoner. I have come to see Your Majesty on the recommendation of Grand Tutor Fang."
If it were not for the difficulty of disobeying his master's orders, he would not have gone down the mountain so quickly and agreed to Master Fang's recommendation.
"I've already seen it. Actually, my Prime Minister's last name is Li."
[How could it be a coincidence? They are father and son.]
"Unfortunately, the Prime Minister is my father. I have been studying abroad since I was young, so it's no surprise that the Emperor doesn't recognize me."
Li Yunhe had no intention of hiding anything. Everyone knew that he had been learning martial arts since he was a child, but no one knew that his master was Min Qiu. He also didn't know how Master Fang knew his identity.
"Good, good, good," the emperor said happily, "It's true that a tiger father will have a dog son!"
Then he looked at Eunuch Cao and said, "Go, ask the prince to come and meet his teacher."
Yu Yiluo secretly praised the tyrant's actions.
[The tyrant is awesome, we found a treasure. After Min Qiu retired to the mountains, many people tried to find his disciple, but unfortunately no one knew who his disciple was.
When these people find out about Li Yunhe's identity, they'll be madly jealous of you. After all, compared to his master, Min Qiu, Li Yunhe is even more capable than him.
Eunuch Cao left the imperial study and walked quickly towards the East Palace.
I was still a little puzzled. Although Master Zhang was the son of Prime Minister Li, he was not very old and did not look much older than the Crown Prince. Could he really be the Crown Prince's teacher?
......
When they arrived at the East Palace, the Crown Prince was reading. When he heard Eunuch Cao coming, he hurriedly said, "Please bring him in."
Eunuch Cao came in and bowed, "Your Highness, the Emperor has asked me to invite you to the Imperial Study to meet your teacher."
The prince was slightly surprised. Did his father find a suitable teacher so quickly?
"Who is this teacher?" the prince asked as he walked out.
Eunuch Cao followed behind the Crown Prince and said respectfully, "It was recommended by Grand Tutor Fang. It's Li Yunhe, the son of Prime Minister Li."
The son of the Prime Minister, isn't he much older than me? Is the emperor serious? He is not afraid of being cheated by the person recommended by Master Fang.
Neither of them spoke any more. They were led directly inside the imperial study.
The prince looked straight ahead and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, your son pays homage to His Majesty."
[Crown Prince, come and see your new teacher.]
Li Yunhe glanced sideways at the gentle and humble prince, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He was exactly as described in my father's letter, gentle, polite, humble and elegant.
"Stand up and take a seat."
After the Crown Prince sat down, the Emperor raised his hand and pointed at Li Yunhe, who was drinking tea next to him. "This is Li Yunhe, the teacher recommended to you by that old fellow surnamed Fang. You two are of similar age, so I think it will be easy for you to get along."
The prince nodded slightly and lowered his eyes.
It seems that the emperor is not joking. It seems that he really intends to let this Master Li be his teacher.
"Brother Crown Prince, don't reject this person just because he's young and was recommended by Grand Tutor Fang. He's a young talent that others would love to have. Furthermore, the most important thing for a ruler is to know how to use people, not just judge them by appearance."
Looking at Yu Yiluo with dark eyes in his father's arms, and comparing it with the voice he just heard, the prince felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Yunhe bowed slightly and observed the prince's expression. The other party did not seem unhappy because he was recommended by Grand Tutor Fang, which made him feel a little bit of admiration in his heart.
When he came down the mountain, he heard what happened in the palace and the identity of the prince.
It is rare that the prince did not become depressed or angry because of this. The most taboo thing for a monarch is to show his emotions.
"Teacher," the prince said with a smile, though it was a little awkward, "Please give me your guidance in the future."
The emperor was in a good mood and nodded with satisfaction.
After they talked for a while, the emperor personally sent Li Yunhe back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He said to the Crown Prince earnestly, "From now on, you should learn from Li Yunhe and don't let your father down."
After resolving the issue of the prince's teacher, the emperor looked at Eunuch Cao with a smile.
"Go and tell the Minister of Rites what Concubine Li has instructed you to do."
......
The Minister of Rites mentioned by the two people was writing invitations.
When he heard the servant coming to report that Eunuch Cao was here to deliver the emperor's oral instructions, he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, stood up and went out to greet him.
"Sir Su, the Emperor asked you to remember to send an invitation to the Cai family, as well as Prime Minister Li's family."
Lord Su was surprised. The Cai family was a merchant family, but they had never been invited to a palace banquet. Was the emperor trying to bring honor to the Cai family?
He pulled his thoughts back and said with a smile: "I will not forget the Prime Minister's family. The Cai family will make up for it right away."
"The Prime Minister's family consists of four people. Lord Su, don't forget them."
There are four people in the family. Is the emperor even inviting the prime minister's concubine's daughter to the banquet?
Although he was puzzled about the emperor's intention, Lord Su did not ask any further questions.
After Eunuch Cao left, I wrote two new invitations.
If it was an ordinary princess's full moon banquet, he would definitely not host it personally. Usually, the princess's biological mother or the person in charge of the harem would simply host it.
The little princess's full-moon banquet was almost as grand as the emperor's birthday banquet.
