Before Song Mu and Qin Taifu arrived at the East Palace, they heard huge noises coming from the hall, and Li Dong's roar could be heard from time to time.
Several eunuchs and maids were kicked out, and now they were kneeling in panic and trembling outside the palace door.
Song Mu looked at Taifu Qin next to him. Taifu Qin's face was calm. At this moment, he just walked up the steps slowly and reached the door of the palace. He called out in a deep voice.
"Your Highness!"
The movement in the hall suddenly became smaller, and then a figure rushed out in a hurry and shouted to Master Qin who had walked to the door of the hall.
"Master."
Li Dong was in a very embarrassed state at the moment. Several things in the already empty hall were also broken. This time he saw Song Mu following behind, and his expression also changed.
Grand Tutor Qin looked at one of them, his face was a bit cold at this moment, and he said to His Highness.
"Your Highness, this is the anger of a single day, how can it be dignified?!"
When Li Dong heard this, he immediately lowered his head. At this moment, his face was rather dejected and he nodded, but he looked up at Taifu Qin and said.
"Taifu, what my father said must be angry. How can you let Taifu leave like this?"
"After more than ten years of teaching, how could my father treat me with such contempt?"
Taifu Qin interrupted the other party's words and said in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, this matter is not as simple as you think. I think your Majesty had no choice but to do it. Since the Holy Word was spoken, it must have been thought through countless times."
Li Dong, who listened to the admonishment, could only nod angrily.
"But Taifu, why doesn't His Majesty allow you to enter the imperial city again?"
Taifu Qin's expression softened and he said in a deep voice.
"The matter has come to an end, Your Highness, there is no need to say anything more."
"I'm here this time to say goodbye to His Highness."
As soon as these words came out, Li Dong's face suddenly showed a bit of urgency, and he took a few steps forward impatiently.
"Master..."
Grand Tutor Qin just waved his hands and finished talking about some things. Li Dong always looked a little sad when he heard this.
Song Mu stood respectfully and listened. After a moment, Qin Taifu suddenly turned his head and said to Song Mu.
"Song is giving lectures, please come forward."
When Song Mu heard this, he quickly stepped forward and handed over his hands. Li Dong also looked at Song Mu, but heard Taifu Qin speak at this moment.
"Song Lecturer, please pay more attention to His Highness' affairs in the future."
With that said, Grand Tutor Qin explained some things to Song Mu, and even asked Li Dong to study diligently and ask Song Mu for advice, so as to achieve success as soon as possible.
These words were very true. Li Dong's eyes were already red, but he just nodded with his fists. Song Mu also looked unbearable at this moment.
After the explanation, Master Qin let out a long sigh, looked at Li Dong with a deep look, and spoke with sincerity.
"Your Highness, please remember that Ji Lin Hidden Wings and Thought belong to the wind and cloud."
"Old minister, I still have to wait to see His Highness make a big splash in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Taifu's face was filled with anger, and Li Dong even knelt down towards Qin Taifu, his expression silent this time.
Song Mu also bowed deeply, Qin Taifu nodded slightly, turned around with his sleeves rolled up, and stepped out.
Li Dong stood up and followed, and Song Mu also quickly followed. The lecturers in the East Palace also suddenly learned of this and immediately followed him to see him off.
Seeing Taifu Qin's leaving figure, Li Dong stood at the gate of the imperial city, his eyes still red and silent.
Song Mu and others stood aside with their heads bowed, not daring to speak at this moment, just thinking about what happened.
Song Mu also lowered his eyes slightly at this moment, thinking about what went wrong, which could lead to such disaster, but he heard Li Dong's voice.
"Song Lecture, may I say a few words to you?"
Song Mu and his colleagues looked at each other and quickly raised their heads to follow him, slowly heading towards the East Palace, but at one of the corners, Li Dong stopped.
"Song Lecturer, who do you think is responsible for this?"
After hearing this, Song Mu immediately fell silent, and after a moment he raised his hands and said.
"Your Highness, it is difficult to know this fact, but I think there may be someone who is obstructing this matter. As for the purpose, it is not even the Taifu."
After hearing this, Li Dong looked at Song Mu with a puzzled look on his face, while Song Mu said softly.
"The Taifu has been an official for many years. He is upright and has no grudges against others. He has served as the Taifu for many years and is highly respected."
Li Dong's eyes seemed to flicker, and now he looked at Song Mu and said slowly.
"As mentioned in the lecture, maybe this matter was originally intended to be done to me, but in the end, the master took the blame for me?"
Song Mu nodded silently. Although his words seemed a bit incredible, there was a lot of talk in Chang'an these days, and Yushitai was also making waves among them.
Your Majesty's decision to do that may be a balancing act and a last resort.
Li Dong also came to his senses at this moment. He nodded silently and sighed angrily.
"It's really dirty!"
After cursing like this, Li Dong looked at Song Mu again and said sternly.
"Song Lecturer, when will the next exam be taken?"
Song Mu saw Li Dong's eyes full of anger, but he also knew in his heart that this had aroused Li Dong's fighting spirit, and his heart moved at this moment.
"Your Highness, although this matter is not urgent, if Your Highness is willing, I will be bold enough to give it a try in the middle of next month."
Li Dong looked at Song Mu with burning eyes at this moment, and then nodded heavily.
"That's it. Next month, I need to reach the state."
As he spoke this time, Li Dong's face was firm and somewhat lonely.
"The master will leave Chang'an at that time, and I will go and see him off."
After saying this, Li Dong cupped his hands towards Song Mu, turned around and left silently.
Song Mu raised his head and saw Li Dong's back, but there was some fluctuation in his heart.
It seems that this matter is not completely without benefits. Since it can arouse Li Dong's ambition, maybe he can successfully break through this time.
Song Mu also sighed slightly, feeling that it had only been a short period of time before there was such a turmoil.
And this also made Song Mu feel a little wary about the current situation. Although he didn't know that this matter was really aimed at His Highness as he said.
Or is it really aimed at Tai Tu?
In any case, this is a lesson learned from the past. If there is another unexpected incident in His Highness's realm, Song Mu can probably imagine that it will not be something that the Taifu can solve now.
He and others will inevitably be punished, and the prince will also be criticized. If word spreads in the future, it will be detrimental to the Wen Dynasty.
Song Mu pursed his lips slightly, feeling uncomfortable for a moment.
After such a confusing day, when Song Mu returned home, he was having dinner with his family when the housekeeper came over with a post.
"Sir, it was delivered from Prime Minister Feng's house. I heard it was written by Prime Minister Feng himself."
When Song Mu heard this, he immediately looked at Gu Qingqing and reached out to take the post.
Song Mu visited Prime Minister Feng a few days ago, but Prime Minister Feng was busy at the time and only chatted with him for a few words, and even pointed out some confusions in his realm.
At that time, Song Mu was still a little relaxed, feeling that Feng Xiang did not directly recruit him, which saved him a lot of embarrassing and headaches.
Opening the post, Song Mu also saw the above content.
But the first sentence that caught his eye at this moment was that Prime Minister Feng congratulated himself on becoming the crown prince's young master.
For a moment, Song Mu's face was full of surprise.
When will I be appointed as the Prince's Young Master?
