He died before achieving his goal, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow.
These two sentences instantly invigorated the young emperor.
He took two deep breaths before saying in a deep voice, "Sir, there are many people in the same situation as you. They may not be being hunted down, but like you, they have lofty ambitions and a heart to serve their country, yet they are suppressed at every turn."
What I need to do is give these people the opportunity to showcase their talents and provide them with a stage to demonstrate their abilities.
"Alright, based on what you said, I'll agree to fight you."
"Good, good!" The young emperor knelt on the ground excitedly, "Teacher, please accept the respect due to your disciple."
"No, no, you mustn't..."
"Teacher, this is the ceremony for becoming a disciple. Three bows and nine kowtows are required, and not one can be omitted."
The young emperor stopped Ye Qiu from stopping him.
In the blink of an eye, the young emperor completed the grand ceremony.
Ye Qiu helped him up.
At this moment, Ye Qiu felt that this was not a young emperor, but just a student who was eager to learn.
Although Ye Qiu is only a few years older than the young emperor, his knowledge is more than enough to make him his teacher.
Without needing to say anything else, the Book of Rites, the Rites of Zhou, the Four Books and Five Classics, the Zizhi Tongjian, the Analects, and Sun Tzu's Art of War alone would be enough for the young emperor to comprehend.
In addition to these, Ye Qiu also brought a lot of knowledge that could be used in the modern world, which was enough to teach the young emperor.
It's no exaggeration to say that anything Ye Qiu has in his head could easily cause a huge uproar in the Tianxing Realm.
"Teacher, from this moment on, you are the Imperial Tutor of the Great Dragon Dynasty. I will carry out the Imperial Tutor's decree. With this decree, no one in the Great Dragon Dynasty will dare to touch you, or at least not openly. This will allow us to eliminate the threats from the Xuanyuan and Wu families."
As for these two families, it's not impossible for the teacher to eliminate them later; we can discuss it further.
In addition, I would like to request that you concurrently serve as Minister of Rites to rectify the current situation.
"No," Ye Qiu said with a smile, "I am not qualified to serve as the Minister of Rites. I prefer to cultivate freely."
Of course, I can teach you some things that will help you make the right decisions easily. Even if you make a mistake, it's okay; just ask me again if you're unsure.
"Good, good, good." The young emperor was very excited: "Teacher, then I will have someone arrange accommodation for you. From now on, you can live in the palace and focus on your cultivation without worrying about anything else."
"Alright," Ye Qiu said, "Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty."
"Don't call me Your Majesty, teacher. My name is Lin Xuanye. You may call me by my name anytime, anywhere, regardless of the occasion," the young emperor Lin Xuanye said respectfully.
“Alright.” Ye Qiu didn’t want to go through those clichés, so he immediately smiled and said, “Xuan Ye, let’s not rest for now. Since we’ve already agreed, I’ll start teaching you your first lesson today.”
"Huh?" Lin Xuanye was surprised: "Can we start now?"
"If you're busy, we can reschedule."
"No, no, no, I'm not busy, teacher, I can do it," Lin Xuanye hurriedly said.
"That's good. I'll tell you about the Zhou Li and the Li Ji. Not everything mentioned in them can be used, but you can definitely select suitable rituals and laws from them and combine them with the existing rituals and laws of this dynasty to promote them throughout the dynasty."
"This disciple is all ears."
Lin Xuanye sat down, his expression solemn.
Ye Qiu didn't hesitate and immediately began the lesson.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was already dark.
Lin Xuanye listened with rapt attention, and was utterly impressed by Ye Qiu.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."
Lin Xuanye's personal eunuch came and reminded Lin Xuanye for the fifth time, appearing very cautious.
Lin Xuanye glanced at the sky outside and said with lingering interest, "Teacher, I have learned a lot today. Although I would like to continue listening, it is getting late and you must be tired. Come on, let's have a meal, and then I will take you to rest."
"No, find me a clever palace maid to take me to my lodgings first. Tomorrow morning, I'll give you the second lesson. This lesson is crucial. If you can understand it, you will be able to gradually take control of the situation in the court and no longer be passive," Ye Qiu said.
"Okay." Lin Xuanye nodded excitedly.
At this moment, Lin Xuanye was completely convinced by Ye Qiu.
He quickly ordered his personal eunuch to select two extremely beautiful palace maids to come.
The two palace maids initially thought they had been chosen by the young emperor to serve him in bed, and they were both very excited.
But when they arrived at the scene and heard Lin Xuanye tell them to take good care of Ye Qiu, they all lowered their heads, their disappointment hard to hide.
Lin Xuanye didn't care about any of that and said seriously, "He is my teacher, the Great Dragon Emperor's tutor. If you two don't serve him well, or if you spread any nonsense, be careful that your heads roll. Keep your mouths shut and don't let out a single word."
Upon hearing this, the two pretty palace maids immediately changed color slightly.
The identity of the Great Dragon Emperor's Tutor is astonishing, seemingly surpassing even that of the young emperor.
Because of his status as the imperial tutor, the young emperor had to bow respectfully to him.
Thinking of this, the two palace maids, who had been somewhat disappointed, secretly became happy again.
Soon after, Ye Qiu was arranged to live in a garden hall near the inner palace.
This place is extremely quiet, and Ye Qiu likes it very much.
Two palace maids busied themselves tidying up some of the messy things in the palace, working very diligently.
Ye Qiu sat on the bed, his brows furrowed, pondering whether to teach Lin Xuanye Sun Tzu's Art of War or the art of emperorship tomorrow.
Lin Xuanye must learn both of these.
Studying military strategy will be of great use in the future.
Learning the art of rulership can be of great use right now.
After weighing the options, Ye Qiu decided to teach his grandson the Art of War first.
Because the art of ruling is too powerful, Ye Qiu still couldn't quite figure out what kind of person Lin Xuanye was, so he dared not easily pass on his knowledge.
Even Sun Tzu's Art of War, Ye Qiu would not teach all of it at once.
After making the decision, Ye Qiu relaxed.
At this moment, the two palace maids finished tidying up and walked up to Ye Qiu.
One of the more delicate palace maids, who was two years older, asked cautiously, "Sir, tonight, would you like one of us to serve you first, or should we all do it together?"
"Huh?" Ye Qiu was taken aback.
Another pretty young palace maid blushed and whispered, "Sir, don't be surprised. We're here to serve you; it's our duty to do these things."
"No need for that," Ye Qiu said. "You can go and have fun on your own. I don't need you to serve me like this."
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"Sir, spare my life!"
The two palace maids hurriedly knelt on the ground, their faces filled with fear.
Ye Qiu was stunned: "What are you doing now?"
"Sir, if you do not allow us to serve you in bed, His Majesty will kill us."
"Yes, sir, please grant our request and let us serve you in bed. I beg you."
