After finishing the class and answering various questions raised by the students, Li Yaonan glanced around and found that his own bastards had disappeared.
When he went to look for his son, the twelfth prince was looking for his younger brother.
Sihai Book Garden is quite large, but in winter, the only rooms in the yard with floor heating are those around the classroom. Following the children's quarrel, Li Yaonan went straight to a quiet room not far away.
"Teacher!" The twelfth prince was slightly stunned and happened to meet Li Yaonan at the door.
"You..." Li Yaonan raised his eyebrows. He had attended two classes before. Except for the boy in front of him, the students generally called him Lord Li.
The twelfth prince was about to say a few words to get closer to her, but the sound of quarreling in the house interrupted their thoughts.
Lai Yiu Nam was surprised to find that his son had the loudest voice.
The twelfth prince was curious as to why his thirteenth brother was silenced.
Li Yaonan glanced at the boy beside him and realized that he was probably looking for someone. He stepped into the room first and saw Li Xi playing chess with a strange boy. Li Xu, Jin Yuxuan, and Xin Zeqi were all standing next to him.
They read books on the side and discussed from time to time.
Li Xi acted like a little adult, raised his chin proudly, and said disdainfully: "This is the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, don't you understand? You idiot, you are the only one who wants to be a general, don't embarrass yourself."
The Thirteenth Prince's face flushed red with anger. He had never been wronged like this before. "You, you are so presumptuous."
Li Xi said with a straight face, calmly lecturing: "I am teaching you this, you are really a child who cannot be taught."
The Thirteenth Prince was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table. He swung his fist and hit the chessboard with a "bang".
Li Xi glanced at him calmly: "You are bullying a child."
"I didn't." The Thirteenth Prince was furious. Who was bullying whom? If he could not reveal his identity outside the palace, he would have dragged this kid out and punished him. But thinking about it this way, it did seem like bullying a child.
Li Xi set up the chessboard and returned to his previous state, accusing him, "You are narrow-minded, have no temperament, and cannot stand losing. Do you still want to play? I will ignore you."
The Thirteenth Prince was choked, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted angrily: "Play, why not play, you wait and see."
Unfortunately, after a while, the Thirteenth Prince was defeated miserably.
Li Xi abused him very happily, with the same venomous tongue as his father: "How stupid! This is cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron. Do you understand? Go back and read some more books. If the battlefield were changed, the Jin army would not be able to withstand your torment. You are so stupid."
The Thirteenth Prince was so angry that his heart ached. His dream of becoming a general was shattered to pieces. From childhood to adulthood, who dared to treat him like this
When Li Xu saw his father coming with a strange boy behind him, he immediately put on the appearance of a good brother, walked up to his younger brother and knocked him on the head, then looked at the Thirteenth Prince with full apology and said sincerely: "My younger brother is young and ignorant, please bear with me."
The Thirteenth Prince was almost going crazy. How could he bully others like this? How young was he? This kid was clearly a little brat. However, since he called him brother, he knew that he was indeed older. If he continued to argue with him, he would appear to be petty. He couldn't afford to lose face.
Li Xu smiled slightly. The young man behind his father should be the parent of the boy in front of him. He had to apologize. He couldn't bully someone else's child in front of others, even if the child was older than him.
The Thirteenth Prince felt extremely aggrieved. He looked up and saw his Twelfth Brother and immediately ran to him for comfort.
The twelfth prince was both angry and amused, he didn't expect that the unreasonable little bully in the palace would meet his nemesis today. Lord Li was indeed a good parent. His two sons, one was calm and the other was smart, and they were always on top of each other. It was hard to even get angry at them, after all, it was just a play between children.
When Li Xi saw his father, he shrank his head slightly, then smiled brightly: "Father, my chess skills have improved a little today."
Li Yaonan shook his head helplessly, tapped his head, turned around and said, "My son is naughty, please don't be offended, little brother."
Li Xi pouted in dissatisfaction. He hated it so much. His brother hit him and his father hit him too. He would become stupid.
"No problem." The twelfth prince bowed and said, "Teacher has taught me well. Your son is indeed smart and clever."
Li Xi smiled and gave the twelfth prince a big smile. This brother really knew what was good.
The Thirteenth Prince curled his lips in dissatisfaction. This person was Lord Li, who was not that good. He couldn't even teach his own son. This made him so angry.
Li Yaonan felt a little puzzled. The young man in front of him should not have passed the imperial examination yet, so why did he come to the academy to attend classes
However, the thought only lasted for a moment, and Li Yaonan did not think about it for too long. These two boys were so noble that he did not need to pay too much attention to them. Maybe they just sneaked out of the house to play.
"You're naughty again." Li Yaonan scolded his son with a gentle look full of care.
"No, I'm just sparring with him." Li Xi hugged his father affectionately and rubbed against his arms.
Li Yaonan smiled gently. How could he not understand his son? He could always make up an excuse for anything.
"Father." Li Xu put away the books on the table and put them back on the bookshelf in the corner.
Li Yaonan looked at him with a smile and straightened his son's clothes: "It's cold outside, take care of yourself."
Li Xu's expression was warm: "Son knows."
Li Yaonan gave the children some instructions, turned to look at the twelfth prince, nodded at him, and then led the children out of the quiet room.
The Thirteenth Prince was slightly stunned, and he couldn't tell whether he was jealous or admiring. The royal father and son had never had such a tender affection between them.
The twelfth prince sighed softly, took his brother's hand, and said gently: "Sixteen is still waiting outside, we should go back."
The Thirteenth Prince was in low spirits, but he was no longer so resistant to the idea of becoming a disciple. He secretly thought that he would turn the tables some other day and teach that brat a lesson.
The twelfth prince was slightly delighted. He thought that taking Lord Li as his teacher was the right decision.
Here, Li Yaonan brought his son back home happily.
After the Thirteenth Prince returned to the palace, he went straight into the study room for the first time, surprising everyone in the palace.
The emperor was wondering if the child had been wronged. Why did he change his personality after returning today? He called Twelve to ask him and was immediately amused: "You mean he lost the game today and couldn't beat a seven-year-old kid?"
The twelfth prince was quite embarrassed. His father's words were too ruthless. He replied dryly: "The thirteenth prince is ready to work hard."
The emperor looked at him speechlessly. Who would believe such words
The Twelfth Prince turned his head silently. He did not blame his father for not believing him, but the Thirteenth Prince's reputation for not liking to study was too loud. He wanted to say a few good words for the Thirteenth Prince, but after thinking for a long time, he just couldn't find any words.
The emperor was very disappointed with his son and felt sorry for him being wronged, but when he compared his son to a seven-year-old boy, the pain in his heart was instantly shattered. It was good for Thirteen to suffer a little setback, if it could arouse his ambition, the emperor expressed his full agreement.
"Today the teacher talked about the theory of factions, and I think it makes sense." The twelfth prince hastily changed the subject, looking at his father expectantly.
The emperor felt amused. Twelve hadn't even become an apprentice yet, but he already called his master over. The Li Qing family was quite capable.
The twelfth prince blushed. Although he behaved very calmly, he was still very young, having just turned thirteen this year. He felt a little shy when facing his father's penetrating gaze.
The emperor pondered for a moment, tapping the table lightly with his ten fingers. "Factional Discussion". Just by listening to the topic, he knew that it concerned the court. His expression became serious and he motioned for the twelfth prince to continue.
"On the subject of factions, it is fortunate that the ruler can distinguish between the noble and the villain..."
The twelfth prince spoke slowly and clearly in an unhurried voice, repeating the contents of Li Yaonan's lecture while asking questions to the emperor and occasionally adding some of his own opinions.
The emperor was very pleased and was very serious when instructing the twelfth prince. He was extremely satisfied with his humble attitude and added many key points that Li Yaonan had not mentioned.
The twelfth prince was fully focused. Some of his father's answers made him suddenly enlightened and he benefited a lot from them.
Li Yaonan's lectures are from the perspective of a minister, while the emperor's instructions are from the perspective of a superior. Different standpoints have different views. The idea of cliques has existed since ancient times. The indulgence of the Wei Dynasty emperors led to the expansion of cliques. However, cliques cannot be completely eliminated in the court. How to use them, restrain them, and balance them is a very profound knowledge. The emperor stopped at that point, and the rest needs to be thought about by Twelve himself.
The emperor was quite touched. Li Aiqing's remarks always touched his heart. Factions were indeed a major hidden danger in the court. If there were no cliques among the ministers below, how could his sons become enemies? The princes were thinking about the chair under them, and the ministers were thinking about the merits of following the emperor.
The emperor smiled coldly. He actually didn't care about the fights among the court officials. If the court officials really formed a group, it would be a taboo for the superior.
The next day, Li Yaonan received an imperial edict, adding the title of bachelor to his position as Tongzhengsishi, and serving as the teacher of the twelfth and thirteenth princes.
Li Yaonan was stunned for a moment, and he felt terrible. The emperor's decree came without any warning, and caught him off guard.
Eunuch Wang smiled and said jokingly, "Lord Li is so happy that he is silly. Why don't you hurry up and accept the order?"
Li Yaonan's smile was uglier than crying. What the emperor was doing again: "Long live the emperor."
Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "The two princes will come to visit later. Lord Li, don't worry. The emperor said that you can teach them however you want."
Li Yaonan felt choked. He is a prince, what does it mean to follow his instructions? Isn't the emperor giving him a difficult problem
Eunuch Wang looked sympathetic. The Emperor was indeed giving him a difficult time. Everyone in the palace knew that the Thirteenth Prince was extremely naughty and would not accept discipline at all.
"I want to see the emperor." Li Yaonan's face was filled with grief and indignation. He didn't want to be involved in the royal family at all.
Eunuch Wang shook his head: "The imperial decree has been issued, Lord Li should give up the idea."
Li Yaonan frowned, and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He was just thankful that the two princes were still young and had not walked around the court. He asked tentatively, "Did the emperor really say that he would follow my teachings?"
Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "Master Li, don't worry. The Emperor knows your little thoughts very well. He is not afraid that you will teach the prince the wrong way."
Li Yaonan was speechless. Is this considered a compliment
After Eunuch Wang left, his colleagues congratulated him one after another. Li Yaonan was extremely depressed but he couldn't show it. He smiled and returned the greetings one by one. Not long after, the twelfth prince and the thirteenth prince arrived.
When Li Yaonan saw them, he felt more and more familiar with them. He was sure that they were the two boys he met yesterday. He instantly understood how the imperial edict came about today. It turned out that he was asking for trouble. At this time, Li Yaonan did not think much about it. He just thought that his lecture yesterday caught the eyes of the two princes, so what happened today happened.
Just as Li Yaonan was about to pay his respects, the twelfth prince hurriedly supported him and said in a very humble manner: "Teacher, there is no need to be so polite. It should be the student who pays respects to the teacher."
Li Yaonan was stunned. A student paying respects to his teacher is a formal etiquette only between a master and his apprentice. The emperor ordered him to teach the prince, but he was not worthy of the title of teacher.
The twelfth and thirteenth princes bowed and saluted to show their respect.
Li Yaonan was puzzled and always felt that something was wrong.
The twelfth prince smiled and said, "My father is waiting in the imperial study. Please let me and the thirteenth prince go with the teacher."
Li Yaonan collected his thoughts until he went to the imperial study and met the emperor. With the emperor's witness, he formally accepted the two disciples. Only then did he realize what surprise was. This was a surprise. Originally, he was just teaching knowledge, but now he has been promoted to a formal teacher. The emperor's big stick policy was used to perfection, and one was at a loss for words.
