When Emperor Qianxi heard that the prince was coming, he decisively put aside other matters and sent an order to summon the prince.
"I have met my father. I wish my father good health and good luck..." Zhao Rui entered the palace and kowtowed to Emperor Qianxi.
"Well, get up!" Emperor Qianxi responded calmly, still looking at Zhao Rui.
"Thank you, Father." Zhao Rui was a little cautious, maybe because he sensed Emperor Qianxi's gaze.
"You came to the palace to see me today, but what happened?"
Emperor Qianxi actually knew the purpose of Zhao Rui's trip, but he still pretended to be ignorant.
"Father, my son..." Zhao Rui spoke out the matter of selecting a master with trepidation.
He was feeling uneasy as he spoke, mainly because he was afraid that Emperor Qianxi would punish him for disobeying discipline and would make the teacher angry and run away.
"Well, in that case, please submit it!" To Zhao Rui's surprise, Emperor Qianxi did not pursue the matter.
Zhao Rui breathed a sigh of relief, handed the report to Li Rang, and sent it to Emperor Qianxi.
Emperor Qianxi opened it and saw the name on it, and his calm eyes finally changed at this moment.
"Is this the person you selected?" Emperor Qianxi looked at Zhao Rui and was already suspicious.
In fact, he could guess that the names on this list were definitely not selected by Zhao Rui, and he must have used external help.
"Back to my father, the list is indeed finalized by my son."
Zhao Rui pretended to be calm when answering, but his trembling tone had already exposed his nervousness at this time.
"But before I made the decision, I asked my uncle for advice." Zhao Rui couldn't stand the pressure and finally told the matter about Liu Jianbai. However, he was also smart and just said that he asked his uncle for advice.
To be honest, this point alone made Emperor Qianxi less skeptical.
After all, he could know whether Zhao Rui was looking for help without checking.
This question is just to test Zhao Rui.
"Well, you need to ask someone when you are in doubt. You should keep this in mind." Emperor Qianxi nodded and taught.
"Thank you, father, for your teachings. I will definitely keep them in my heart." Zhao Rui thanked him quickly.
"Are you sure you want these people on the list to be your teachers?" Emperor Qianxi suddenly mentioned the list again.
"Go back to my father, I'm sure." Zhao Rui answered directly without thinking. In fact, he didn't even have time to look at the names on the list, but it was the person Liu Jianbai found for him. He felt that he must There won't be any problems.
"In that case, it's up to you." Emperor Qianxi smiled, showing a meaningful smile.
"The selection is good, but the people on this list may not be willing to be your teacher."
Emperor Qianxi first praised him, and then whispered his guess.
Zhao Rui doesn't agree, so who wouldn't want to be his master?
He is the Crown Prince of Daqian, and the future Emperor of Daqian, will anyone be unwilling to be the emperor's master?
Emperor Qianxi saw through Zhao Rui's thoughts with just one glance.
So I gave him a piece of advice, "I will arrange this for you, but you need to visit these people in person. It is best to convince them..."
"My son, I would like to obey my father's instructions!" Zhao Rui said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
There have always been only those who begged him, so where is the need for those who begged him?
It doesn't matter if love comes or not, it's fine if it doesn't come. He doesn't like those old Confucians anyway.
"Back off!" Looking at Zhao Rui who didn't listen, Emperor Qianxi shook his head, knowing it was time to give him a beating.
"My son, please retire!"
When Zhao Rui heard that he could retreat, Cong Ke was happier than anyone else and wished he could grow two more pairs of feet.
"Little plum." After Zhao Rui left, Emperor Qianxi called Li Rang.
"My servant is here." Li Rang immediately approached and waited for Emperor Qianxi's instructions.
"You should also open it and have a look." Emperor Qianxi looked at the folding book on the stage and motioned to Li Rang to open it and have a look too.
Li Rang knew what he was thinking, and wanted him to see it, and also wanted him to give some advice.
"How is it?" After Li Rang opened it, Emperor Qianxi began to ask.
"Dongfang He, Lin Hongzhi..." This was nothing, but the last one made him stunned.
Because Ling Yun's name was clearly written on the last one, Li Rang thought his eyes were dim. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but the name still hadn't changed.
"Your Majesty, I thought that Dongfang, Sir, and Sir Lin Hongzhi had no problem, but...it's just that General Ling Yun is still young, and choosing him may cause criticism from the ministers in the court. And even if there is no criticism in the court, General Ling Yun may not Yes." Li Rang calmed down and digested the shock in his heart before giving his opinion.
"Not all the people on this list are willing to teach you..." Only at this moment did Li Rang understand what Emperor Qianxi had just said to Zhao Rui.
Over the years, Li Rang also learned a little about Ling Yun's character and conduct.
Whatever Emperor Qianxi asked him to do, he would obey him and never hesitate...
But if he had a relationship with the royal family, he would not even want to resign or be beaten to death.
Princess Yucheng is the best example.
Now that Zhao Rui has Ling Yun on his selection list, he can even imagine Ling Yun's rejection.
As for the other two people, as long as Emperor Qianxi issued an order, they would generally not shirk.
"I'm not worried about the other two. As for Ling Yun, that guy is indeed a bit troublesome." Emperor Qianxi said thoughtfully.
Obviously he also knows Ling Yun's temperament. If he insists on forcing him, he may really give up.
After all, he had asked for an order to relinquish military power in his hands years ago and asked to return to his hometown in Anzhou as a minor official. Now if he is forced to be an official of the East Palace and instead be the prince's master, I am afraid it will only make him more determined to return to his hometown and become a minor official. The belief of a small official.
Emperor Qianxi did not want to see this result no matter what.
Besides, the relationship between Ling Yun and Yu Cheng has just eased.
He even wanted to test Ling Yun when he would hold a wedding banquet with Yu Cheng.
If this matter to the prince comes to an end, Ling Yun will only run faster.
Emperor Qianxi had a headache and held his forehead without speaking for a long time.
"How about removing him from the list?" Emperor Qianxi thought about it and felt that this might be the best result.
"Your Majesty, there is actually a way to turn things around." Li Rang rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of something he had forgotten before, but it just reminded him of it. Now might be the opportunity.
"What can be done?" Emperor Qianxi motioned for him to speak out, but he didn't pay much attention.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Lord Li Chengyou be the Crown Prince and Tutor..." Li Rang said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qianxi's eyes lit up, as if he saw a solution.
Ling Yun is not easy to restrain, but doesn’t he have a master above him?
Transferring Li Chengyou back and letting him serve as the Crown Prince and Tutor, wouldn't it be equivalent to tying Ling Yun and the East Palace together?
Furthermore, there is no war in Pingyang now. Whether Li Chengyou is transferred back to Beijing will not affect the current situation in Pingyang.
"Good!" Emperor Qianxi was overjoyed and praised, "Little Lizi, you are a sensible slave."
"I don't dare. It's my honor to share the burden with Your Majesty!" Li Rang replied with a smile, the eyes in his eyes flickering, as if he was planning something...
