After Ning Que became the Master's thirteenth direct disciple, he fainted. An exam had exhausted his physical and mental energy. Coma was a way of self-protection.
The people from the academy carried Ning Que down the mountain, while Sang Sang waited at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Gang asked people to send Ning Que to the academy to rest first. After he regained consciousness, he took him to the back mountain of the academy to meet the other direct disciples of the Master.
Those who took the exam on the second floor were convinced when they saw Ning Que win. Only those who have actually taken the exam can understand how difficult it is to persevere to the end.
Li Hunyuan was also taken to see Li Zhongyi.
"Father, I'm sorry, I couldn't pass the exam for the second floor." Li Huanyuan knelt down in front of Li Zhongyi with a guilty look on his face.
Li Zhongyi helped his son up, and Lao Huai comforted him: "Hun Yuan, you have done very well, even better than your father."
With tears in Li Hunyuan's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, next time, next time I will definitely pass the second-floor exam."
Li Zhongyi touched his son's already broad shoulders and sighed: "Yuan'er, starting from tomorrow, you will come to your father to discuss the government affairs."
Li Hunyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt ecstatic, feeling that he had made the right bet this time.
"Father, my son and I are not very talented and have little knowledge. I am afraid that I will miss important matters of the imperial court."
Li Zhongyi laughed loudly and said: "I have consulted with the academy teacher and found out that your knowledge is enough to serve as an official.
I have also read the papers you wrote in the academy. Although the articles are still a bit immature, they are unique in some aspects and are very good."
Li Hunyuan said modestly: "It's all thanks to Mr. Wang's teachings."
Li Zhongyi nodded and said: "Mr. Wang is indeed a great talent in the country. He can teach you, a stubborn stone, to become a talented person. I intend to let your brother Hu Bo also become his disciple."
Li Huanyuan's pupils shrank, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, and even said in agreement: "It would be great if my sixth brother could become a disciple of Mr. Wang."
Li Yuxiu frowned slightly and wanted to object, but Li Hunyuan secretly gave her sister a wink to calm her down.
Li Zhongyi had a clear view of the little moves of the two siblings, and he already knew it in his heart. He took out a waist badge and handed it to Li Hunyuan, saying: "Yuan'er, you go to rest first, and tomorrow you will enter the palace with the waist badge to attend the court meeting."
"I accept the decree." Li Hunyuan respectfully took the badge with both hands.
Li Zhongyi said to Li Yu again: "Yu'er, you've been tired for a day, go back to the princess's mansion and rest!"
Li Yu said: "I would like to consult Mr. Wang for advice."
Li Zhongyi said with a straight face: "Mr. Wang has been busy all day and is tired. You can ask for advice another day. I will send someone to take Mr. Wang home."
Li Yu's heart tightened, feeling that her father already knew about her affair with Wang Gang.
"My son, I obey the order." Li Yu returned home uneasily after receiving the order.
Li Zhongyi sent everyone away and then met with Wang Gang alone.
"Is the queen in your house?" Li Zhongyi went straight to the point when he saw Wang Gang.
Wang Gang directly released Xia Tian from the interior scene.
Xia Tian was still trapped in an illusion at this time, hoping to break through to the Heavenly Demon Realm. His whole body was sweating profusely, as if he was having a terrible nightmare.
Li Zhongyi wiped away his wife's sweat distressedly and asked Wang Gang: "How long will it take for the queen to wake up?"
Wang Gang sighed and said: "The queen has a strong character and is deeply affectionate towards your majesty. She should be able to break through the illusion. If your majesty is worried, I can also forcefully break the illusion and bring back the queen's consciousness."
Li Zhongyi said tenderly: "This silly girl actually wants to break through the Heavenly Demon Realm for my sake."
It was actually difficult to hide what happened in Xia Tian from Li Zhongyi. She sneaked out of the palace many times and asked Wang Gang for advice on spiritual practice, but Li Zhongyi just turned a blind eye.
Wang Gang also wrote to Li Zhongyi early in the morning, telling him exactly what Xia Tian wanted to avoid misunderstanding.
"Actually, as Your Majesty, it shouldn't be difficult to find two fate-knowing monks to suck out the poison for you." Wang Gang said:
"The queen's move is more like repaying a debt."
Li Zhongyi held Xia Tian's hand and said softly: "How could I not know her thoughts, so I didn't stop her? In fact, Tian'er has been living with guilt these years. Once I die from the poison, she will not survive."
.”
Wang Gang had nothing to say to Li Zhongyi, the emperor of pure love.
"Mr. Wang, you and Yu'er are in love." Li Zhongyi suddenly asked.
"I like the princess." Wang Gang did not answer directly, nor did he choose to deceive Li Zhongyi, nor did he bother to lie.
Li Zhongyi said: "I hope you can treat Yu'er well in the future. That child has suffered a lot since childhood."
Wang Gang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I will."
Li Zhongyi sighed and said: "The queen will ask you to take care of her. Please inform me immediately when she wakes up."
Li Zhongyi took out a gold medal, handed it to Wang Gang and said, "With this gold medal, you can enter and leave the palace freely without reporting."
Wang Gang accepted his badge unceremoniously, and Li Zhongyi said again: "Master Yan Se came to the palace two days ago and handed me the eye pestle of the Jingshen Formation. Master Yanse hopes that you can take over the Jingshen Formation, and I also mean the same.
"
"I can take care of the Shocking God Array for the time being, and when my future disciples grow up, I will hand it over to him." Wang Gang will not be trapped in Chang'an forever for a Shocking God Array.
"Okay." Li Zhongyi glanced at Queen Xia Tian again and said: "I know that the Queen does not want Amber to inherit the throne, but only wants her children to be safe and live a happy life. She was a bastard before, so I can only count on Amber.
Now that Yuanyuan has become a talented person, I can also fulfill Tian'er's wish."
Wang Gang has been an emperor, so he naturally knows how tiring it is to be an emperor, unless you want to be a faint king and a king who subjugates his country.
Li Zhongyi was a promising king. When the master chose him to be the king of Tang Dynasty, he was indeed right. The country was unprecedentedly powerful in his hands and he had the foundation to unify the world.
It's just that he didn't have many heirs, and even fewer of them became talented. The former Li Hunyuan was a bastard and mediocre, and Li Zhongyi could only count on Xia Xia's son Li Amber.
But today Li Zhongyi discovered that his son Li Hunyuan had grown to a level that he could not even imagine. His studies were secondary, and the most important thing was that Li Hunyuan had begun to possess the capabilities of a king.
"Mr. Wang, I intend to cultivate Hunyuan and make him the crown prince in the future. The position of crown prince and grand master belongs to you."
After Wang Gang hesitated for a moment, he said: "This matter can be postponed for two years. Li Hunyuan is not a good successor yet. He still lacks experience."
Li Zhongyi said playfully: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would be the first to object to making Huanyuan the crown prince."
After Wang Gang pondered for a moment, he said: "Li Hunyuan already has the foundation of a king, but it is not enough to support the Tang Dynasty."
When Li Zhongyi wanted to ask again, Professor Cao of the Academy asked to see him for something, and Li Zhongyi asked him to come in.
"The chief instructor, Prince Longqing of the Yan Kingdom, and Ye Hongyu of the Adjudication Department of the Xiling Temple are making trouble outside, saying that our academy cheated so that Ning Que could pass the second-floor exam. They are not satisfied with the exam results."
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "Why do the Academy need to convince them to kick those two people out?"
Professor Cao was puzzled: "Long Qing of Yan State is okay, but Ye Hongyu is so powerful that he even asked the academy to teach him."
Wang Gang's face turned cold and he said angrily: "Ye Hongyu, what kind of place does our academy belong to?"
After saying that, Wang Gang disappeared in a flash and reappeared at the gate of the academy.
At this time, a girl in red, holding a sword, pressed down on Professor Li of the academy and almost broke in.
"Bold." Wang Gangli shouted, threw the ruler, and hit Ye Hongyu.
?Ye Hongyu's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Gang appearing.
