At the night banquet, the harp and harps were singing in harmony, the silk and bamboo were playing melodiously, and the aroma of wine and vegetables flowed.
Xiang Zhao walked up to Sun Mo, knelt down with a pop, and bowed to the ground.
"Teacher, my student Xiang Zhao is brave, please accept me as your disciple."
This was the apprenticeship of the crown prince of Chu State, and it was a big deal anywhere. But when the guests saw this scene, they found that they were not surprised at all.
There is no way, Sun Mo's reputation is too great, and the guests will find it strange that the prince does not become his disciple.
The leader and deputy envoy of the Dachu envoy had already discussed it and approved of this matter, so they did not stop it.
"I also want to become a disciple!"
"Stop humiliating yourself, don't look at how many direct disciples Teacher Sun has. How could it be your turn?"
"Do you think Brother Huang will succeed?"
The princes and princesses of Chu State murmured with envy on their faces.
While eating side dishes, the gourd boys discussed whether the teacher would accept these princes. When Xiang Zhao came out, they became uneasy.
After all, this is the only child of the King of Chu, and will definitely be honored as a great treasure and inherit the throne in the future.
"Teacher accepts Xiang Zhao, and in a few years, he will be the master of the Great Chu Emperor."
Tantai Yutang was filled with emotions. He never expected that the teacher he had worshiped with so much enthusiasm would achieve such a brilliant reputation in just a few years.
"If you don't accept it, you won't be able to offend others!"
Helian Beifang was a little worried. The teacher didn't know how to adapt. He accepted disciples based on their qualifications and preferences, but Xiang Zhao obviously couldn't catch the teacher's eye regardless of his talent or performance.
"Don't he have a tutor?"
Xian Yuwei was puzzled that Taifu was Xiang Zhao's personal teacher.
"Idiot, most of the rules in this world are just to restrain ordinary people."
Qin Yaoguang rolled his eyes: "That's the prince of Chu, so he naturally has privileges!"
"That's right, for these noble people, becoming a disciple is not just about learning something, it's also a relationship similar to a marriage."
Bing Yangzi explained: "Which famous teacher doesn't want to have students all over the world? Open academies with his name all over the country? But in addition to money, this kind of thing also requires influence."
If a famous master of the Tang Dynasty goes to the Chu State to open a school to teach, even if he is not embarrassed, a lot of money and time will be wasted by running through various procedures, but once he becomes an imperial master, it will be simple.
There is no need for the famous teacher to ask, the emperor has already done it for the teacher, and it still costs national taxes, and the teacher does not need to pay a single copper.
"Because Zhou Yasheng is the Imperial Master of the Four Kingdoms and has already achieved the status of the Second Sage. He has disciples and former officials all over the world, and schools all over the world. There is no shortage of schools like the Tang Dynasty."
Qin Yaoguang sighed: "And to be honest, Senior Sister is the real deal."
"Hey, what kind of food? To put it bluntly, Zhou Yasheng still thinks that the eldest sister is a princess and is useless. If the eldest sister is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, do you think Zhou Yasheng will accept it?"
Tantai Yutang disdainfully said: "One more thing, this Yasheng is used to creating a strong personality and creating topics. You see, I don't even accept the most beloved princess of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. This shows how precious my direct discipleship is.
, do you think those who have become disciples and those who have not become disciples feel full of superiority? Because this is an identity that even the eldest princess does not have!"
"ah?"
Xian Yuwei is a simple girl, and she was shocked when she heard such shady hype tactics.
"After Ziqi was rejected, she was so shocked that she went straight to Jinling and became a coward. In fact, if she goes to become a disciple again, Yasheng will accept her."
Li Xiu broke the news.
Why is the eldest princess so sure?
Because with Zhou Yasheng's status, if Sun Mo hadn't interfered, no one in the world of famous teachers would have dared to accept his niece. In the end, he had no choice but to return to him.
"In this way, people will say that Zi Qi never gave up and studied sincerely, and some people will also say that Zhou Yasheng was moved by Zi Qi's will and sincerity. In short, it is a win-win situation."
Li Xiu is very familiar with this kind of operation.
"If that's the case, will the teacher accept Xiang Zhao?"
Xian Yuwei looked at the Prince of Chu. Her junior brother would become the King of Chu in a few years. Isn't this amazing?
No, I should say the teacher is too awesome, right?
"definitely!"
Tantai Yutang knew that the teacher was very kind to Li Ziqi. Even if the teacher did not think about himself, he would still think about his senior sister.
Once Li Ziqi and Xiang Zhao become the same sect, to be honest, they will be eligible to fight for the throne of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, Sun Mo thought so too.
In the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only pros and cons.
The benefits of accepting Xiang Zhao are too great. Of course, Sun Mo will also teach him carefully.
"Xiang Zhao, I know that your qualifications are mediocre and you have no desire to learn, but after becoming my student, you will no longer be able to live such a lazy life."
Sun Mo spoke.
Xiang Zhao looked a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "Teacher, can you save face for me?"
"First think about whether those historians will give you face when they evaluate you and not write the word "faint king"!
Sun Mo's tone was serious.
"You also said that my qualifications are mediocre, so what's the use of my efforts?"
Xiang Zhao didn't understand.
"What is success? To surpass others? No, in my opinion, it is to surpass yourself!"
Sun Mo looked at Xiang Zhao: "In my opinion, you originally only had five points of achievement, but after working hard, you can reach seven or even eight points. This is success!"
Xiang Zhao was stunned.
The Taifu said that his talent was average, and a year of hard work was not as good as a genius practicing for a few days, so he lay down and began to live a life of sensuality and indulgence. But who would be willing to be mediocre for the rest of his life?
Even if he was born to be a king and had a high starting point, Xiang Zhao still had the dream of becoming an emperor for eternity.
"Don't care what others say, just do it!"
Sun Mo encouraged: "A person's merits and demerits are evaluated after death, not now, Xiang Zhao. Some people are alive but dead. The only difference is that they are not buried in the cemetery."
Buzz!
The bright golden light spots sputtered, which was the burst of golden and good words.
Xiang Zhao was dumbfounded. He recalled Sun Mo's words in his mind. After all, he felt like he was enlightened. Mentally, he was even more vigorous. A seed called ideal was planted again and began to take root.
There was silence in the main hall. As the young people recalled Sun Mo's words, they seemed to be filled with blood and wanted to work hard immediately.
The high-ranking officials looked at Sun Mo with respect on their faces.
As expected of Master Sun, he spoke golden words and guided people forward.
"If you can accept my strict teachings, then become a disciple!"
Sun Mo put his left hand behind his waist and looked at Xiang Zhao.
He was wearing an ordinary famous teacher's robe today. There were no decorations except the school badge, but he looked like a saint.
"Teacher, my student Xiang Zhao, I would like to stay with you and listen to your teachings in this life."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Xiang Zhao kowtowed very hard.
King Qi looked embarrassed. What Sun Mo said just now was a slap in the face.
Hey, actually it’s not easy to be a foolish king!
"Get up and come on!"
Sun Mo laughed: "I haven't had time recently. In three months, you come to Jinling to find me. I will use the ancient dragon-capturing hand and medicine to cleanse the marrow and cut the sutras for you, and then teach you a set of holy-level skills to help you."
You improve your qualifications!”
"I can't guarantee the legendary realm, but I will try my best to let you enter the thousand-life realm and gain one or two hundred more years of life."
Wow!
After hearing Sun Mo's promise, those people present who were over forty years old turned green and stared at Sun Mo like hungry wolves.
After all, no one despises his longevity.
"Sun Aiqing, what about me?"
King Qi asked impatiently.
"Your Majesty, if you strictly follow the health plan I have made for you, I can guarantee that you will live fifty more years."
If it weren't for the purpose of gaining an ally for Li Ziqi, Sun Mo would not want to control someone like King Qi.
One more day he lives is a day wasted of people's taxes.
"Five...fifty years?"
King Qi was breathing heavily and wished he could ask Sun Mo to write out his health plan now.
Wei Wuan was confused. He actually wanted to become Sun Mo's disciple, but Xiang Zhao beat him to it, and Sun Mo also gave him a meeting gift. So if he goes now, wouldn't it seem utilitarian? Is he coveting other people's benefits?
Just when Wei Wuan hesitated, the princes from other countries who came to watch the ceremony no longer had so many worries. One by one, they all rushed out and knelt in front of Sun Mo.
"Teacher Sun, please accept me as your disciple!"
The sounds were messy, and the figures were dark and dense. There were more than a hundred of them.
"Prince, what are you waiting for?"
The chief envoy of Wei State was speechless. If he was any slower, the soup would be gone.
Wei Wuan took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, rushed to Sun Mo, and knelt down in front of Sun Mo.
"Tsk, Sun Mo's noodles are invincible!"
Li Xiu was amazed.
The Five Kingdoms Debate has been held for so many times, but there has never been a scene where so many princes and princes have become apprentices together.
There is no doubt that Sun Mo will be famous all over the world after today's dinner.
Han Cangshui looked embarrassed and left the table angrily.
If you don't leave, will it be embarrassing to stay?
It's all Li Xuan's fault. He didn't earn any face for me. In the beginning, why didn't I see that Li Ziqi was still a genius?
"You guys get up first!"
Sun Mo frowned, these young people did not have pure intentions in becoming disciples.
"If the teacher doesn't accept me, I won't get up!"
"I would like to serve the teacher all my life!"
"I don't ask for anything from the teacher. As long as I can learn from you, it is the greatest gift to me."
When these princes speak beautiful words, they really want to sound as nice as possible.
It's a pity that when Sun Mo turned on the Divine Insight Technique and scanned it, there was not a single genius with average qualifications.
"Being my student is not that easy!"
Sun Mo refused. Accepting more than a hundred students at a time would devalue his status as a direct disciple.
"Teacher, we are willing to accept your test!"
Wei Wuan's attitude was sincere, but he regretted it in his heart. If he had taken a step earlier, he wouldn't have to be dragged down by this garbage.
"Then just kneel down first!"
Sun Mo looked at King Qi: "The banquet can begin, don't keep everyone waiting!"
Hearing this, half of the kneeling people subconsciously showed a look of dissatisfaction. They are also members of the royal family in their respective countries and have a distinguished status. No one has ever dared to treat them like this.
