(I felt there was something wrong with the last part of the previous chapter, so I changed it)
Luan Wei himself felt it. Although Yunxi treated him the same as his ministers, he did not mean to praise him. He only regarded him as a teacher. When he became an official, he was only an official of the Hanlin Academy. Yunxi succeeded Ever since he took office, the Hanlin Academy has become worse and worse day by day, and it is just a place where you hang out or make a name for yourself.
Luan Wei had always had a high opinion of himself and felt that teaching was an inferiority complex, but Yunxi didn't seem to think so.
Now that he has become an official, there is no reason to continue to take the imperial examination. If Yunxi never uses him, Luan Wei can only plan to wait until the eldest son of the emperor grows up and go to the fiefdom of the eldest son of the emperor. Even if he starts from Bailihou, he will always be able to do it. You can show your talents and then be recognized by others. It’s not like now that you don’t have any chance to show your talents.
Yang Shiqi just listened quietly to Luan Wei's words and did not answer. When Luan Wei finished speaking, Yang Shiqi said, "That's it? That's very good for me. I'm still very grateful to you, Brother Luan."
"Huh?" Luan Wei asked in confusion: "Why?"
Yang Shiqi said: "I am different from you. You are only twenty-six years old this year, and you have won the title of Scholar, and you are good-looking. If you had not entered the palace to teach, you might not have won the title of Juren or Jinshi in the next subject. You have a bright future. Naturally, you are right. This is what I care about.”
"If you don't have to rely on your own ability to support your family and don't want to be said to be a freeloader, there are many rich families in your hometown who are willing to marry their daughters to you, so how can you teach."
"I am thirty-five years old now, and I have not yet been selected as a scholar. As you know, the Ming Dynasty's academic officials rarely selected older people as scholars, even if the older people were slightly better in literary talent, they rarely selected them. Click. If I fail in next year's college examination, then I will have no chance of taking the imperial examination."
"My family is poor, my appearance is not good, and there is no hope for me to go to the Imperial Academy in Beijing. Apart from these two options, since the Hongwu era, there have been fewer and fewer people becoming officials for free. I originally had no hope of becoming an official in my life. ."
"But now that I have come to the capital on your recommendation, even if I just teach Her Highness the Princess to be an official of the Lengyamen of the Hanlin Academy, it is something I never dared to think about before."
"So being able to become an official has exceeded my expectations, and I won't have any greater expectations."
Only then did Luan Wei understand what Yang Shiqi was thinking. Thinking about it carefully, Yang Shiqi was indeed old and not very good-looking. It was already very good to be an official. Who cares about being an official?
Luan Wei was about to speak again, when Yunxi and his three sisters had already walked over.
Yang Shiqi immediately knelt down and said: "Yang Shiqi, a common man, has seen your majesty. Long live your majesty!" He bowed his head and saluted.
Yunxi waited for him to finish the salute, and also waited for Yang Feng, Luan Wei and others to finish the salute, and said: "Ping Shen."
Yang Shiqi stood up and saw the three young women in palace clothes behind Yunxi. He immediately guessed that they were princesses, and immediately knelt down and said, "The common people have seen the three princesses. Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
When Yunlan saw someone kneeling down to salute her, and it was not a palace maid or a eunuch, she immediately became at a loss and said, "You, get up, I..."
Yun Zhi reacted quickly. Seeing this, she quickly grabbed the second sister and waited for Yang Shiqi to kowtow before saying, "Get up. There is no need to be polite."
Yunxi watched Yang Shiqi stand up and had a preliminary impression of Yang Shiqi in his mind. 'No wonder Yang Shiqi left a respectful and prudent comment in the history books.' Yunxi thought.
When facing a white person, Yunxi didn't reveal his identity until he was confirmed to travel incognito, so he couldn't act too approachable.
He sat aside and asked Yun Lan and others to sit down as well. Then he motioned to Wang Xi with his eyes. Wang Xi said: "Your Majesty needs a teacher, and Master Luan just recommended you. Luan Wei is very good at teaching princes and princesses. Your Majesty thinks,
The person recommended by Master Luan should also be able to teach, so His Majesty ordered someone from Wuchang to call you to the capital."
Yang Shiqi bowed and said, "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Luan Wei on the side also looked smug, thinking that the emperor valued him. But in fact, this was not the case at all.
Wang Xi continued: "But, if you teach Her Royal Highness the Princess to be disobedient to Your Majesty and Your Highness's expectations, then..."
"However, His Majesty has always been tolerant. Even if you do not meet His Majesty's and His Highness's expectations, I will not blame you and will still allow you to return home."
Yang Shiqi bowed again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The matter was settled, and there was nothing else to do. Yunxi took his three sisters back. Yang Shiqi also withdrew with Luan Wei.
Well, in fact, Yunxi found that it was unnecessary for him to come here today. Although Yang Shiqi was very capable, he couldn't just take him in as soon as he met him. There had to be a process to avoid arousing suspicion.
It's okay to let the three princesses come to meet them. They will meet them in the future anyway, but in fact it is not necessary to meet them, and there is no need to meet them in person. Let the three sisters hide behind the curtain and take a look to see if they are okay.
It's quite pleasing to the eye.
The main reason is that today Yunxi was aroused by Yunlan's words and insisted on asking the three sisters to meet Yang Shiqi in person. In fact, it was not necessary.
Yunxi felt that there was something wrong with his mind today. First, he had to let his daughter come to class after the holiday, he had to let his sister come to see Yang Shiqi, and he had to come to see Yang Shiqi. These were all unnecessary things.
'It may be that I have been working for a long time without any rest days, and the intensity of the work is very high, which has caused some problems in the functioning of my brain.' Yunxi then attributed the reason to this, and decided to take a rest for the rest of today, and take another day off tomorrow.
Take a weekend off.
Yunxi also decided to take one day off every ten days from now on. Except for going to court, unless there are very urgent matters to deal with, he must take a rest in other situations.
After deciding this, Yunxi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and his brain suddenly became clearer.
Yunxi turned around and asked Yunlan and the other three: "What do you think of meeting this gentleman today?"
Yunzhi rushed to say: "I think he will be a good gentleman."
Yunxi asked: "Why?"
Yunzhi giggled and said, "It's not why, it's just a feeling."
Yunlan also said: "My sister also thinks that he will be a good gentleman. But she can't explain the reason." Yunyun also said the same.
Yunxi looked at the three of them very strangely: They all couldn't get along with each other? Yang Shiqi did teach the prince to read very well in the future, and was praised by Zhu Di many times.
But that's fine, because I have an excuse to get close to Yang Shiqi naturally, and then pretend that I accidentally discovered that he is awesome, and then reuse him.
Yunxi stayed in Baoqin's palace today. In order to relieve his brain, he asked Baoqin to play soothing music. Yunxi listened to Baoqin for a long time, and then went to bed with Baoqin in his arms.
