The Shocked Zhangsun Wuji!
In the court.
Before the emperor came, it was no different from a market.
Many of the ministers were discussing the emperor's teacher who had appeared out of nowhere.
"It's too rash to let a seventeen year old youth be the emperor's teacher!”
"That's right! Has the emperor been deceived?!"
"No matter how talented a person is, how much talent can a seventeen-year-old have?”
"Moreover, the emperor has given him too much power. Seeing him is like seeing the emperor. This honor is too great!”
"No! In a while, I will definitely go up to remonstrate with the emperor. I definitely can't be deceived by a child!”
"That's right. I also don't agree to let a seventeen-year-old become the emperor's teacher!”
Many of the officials did not acknowledge Jun Ruyu. Or rather, some of them really did not acknowledge her, while some of them were a little jealous of this Emperor's teacher who had suddenly appeared and obtained the emperor's grace.
As the saying went, where there were people, there would be fights, let alone the royal court, which was the center of power.
Zhangsun Wuji, the leader of the 24 meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion, stood at the front of the officials. When he heard the words of the officials, he could not help but frown.
He turned to Fang Xuanling and said,""Xuan Ling, what is going on? Did His Majesty really want the seventeen-year-old Jun Ruyu to become the Emperor's teacher?”
Fang Xuanling nodded and said,""Brother Fuji, you haven't seen Mister Ruyu. If you had, I believe you would know how wise the emperor's decision was.”
"Wise? Didn't you see that the ministers were all against it? This is simply going to become a laughing stock!”Zhangsun Wuji frowned.
"Oh right, Wei Zheng, why didn't you go up to remonstrate with the emperor and let the emperor do this?”Zhangsun Wuji looked at Wei Zheng and said.
Wei Zheng stood there with his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep. When he heard Zhangsun Wuji's words, he did not even open his eyes and said indifferently,"The emperor did the right thing, why should I remonstrate?”
"You…Aiya, why are you all so muddle-headed!”
Zhangsun Wuji did not know what to say for a moment. Why were the two most astute people in the imperial court like this?
"Haha, Brother Fuji, don't look at appearances. Just wait, I believe you will soon know how wise His Majesty is!”Fang Xuanling smiled but didn't explain. He knew that the discussion was just a waste of time.
Zhangsun Wuji could only sigh when he saw this and did not say anything else. However, in his heart, he still did not approve of the Emperor acknowledging a seventeen-year-old youth as his teacher.
In his opinion, this was simply nonsense.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
At this moment, a sharp voice was heard. Then, Li Shi Min walked in like a dragon and tiger.
Seeing this, the officials quickly lowered their heads and no longer made a sound. They bowed to Li Shimin and said,"Long live the Emperor!"
"Beloved ministers, rise!"
Li Shi Min sat down and said with a smile.
"Today, I have a joyous occasion to tell all my beloved ministers. Yesterday, I announced to all officials that from today onwards, our Great Tang has an Emperor's Teacher!”
He said directly,"Emperor Xuan's teacher is in the hall!"”
Not long after, a handsome young man with eyes that seemed to contain lightning strode into the court.
Although he was being watched by all the officials, the young man was not afraid. After taking a few steps forward, he bowed and said,"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Li Shi Min quickly said,"The Emperor's teacher is my teacher. You don't have to bow in the future. Come, give him a seat."”
Very soon, a eunuch brought a chair over. Jun Ruyu did not refuse. The Emperor's teacher should have the status and treatment of the Emperor's teacher. As the teacher of the Emperor and the teacher of all officials, there was no harm in sitting down.
Seeing Jun Ruyu being so impolite, the officials were a little dissatisfied. They were about to say something when they saw Li Shiming's sharp gaze sweeping across the crowd.
It wasn't easy to invite Jun Ruyu out of the mountain to be the Emperor's teacher. Li Shimin didn't want anyone to provoke Jun Ruyu. If Jun Ruyu quit, where would he cry?
Under Li Shimin's fierce gaze, the officials who were about to speak immediately lowered their heads, their faces covered in cold sweat.
However, Zhangsun Wuji wasn't afraid of Li Shiming's gaze. He was Li Shiming's most trusted official and also his brother-in-law. He only cared about the Tang Dynasty, so he had to say something even though he knew that Li Shiming wasn't happy.
However, before he could say anything, he heard Li Shiming say,"Perhaps some people will question why I invited Mister Ruyu to be the emperor's teacher. After all, Mister Ruyu is too young.”
"Hehe, I will tell you the reason now!”
"Yesterday, the Emperor's teacher gave me something called a potato!" It could be used as food to satisfy one's hunger. It could be harvested at least twice a year and yield 30 dan per mu! This food can save millions of starving people. What do you think of the emperor's teacher's contribution?”
When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked.
As for Zhangsun Wuji, his eyes widened instantly. He hurriedly looked at Fang Xuanling and saw him nod at him. He knew that this was true.
"With this skill, it's enough to be peerless!" Zhangsun Wuji said.
"After that, Jing De told the Emperor's teacher about the suffering of the soldiers of the Great Tang. The Emperor's teacher took out another item. He said that this was a horseshoe that could help the cavalry of the Great Tang trample over the barbarian lands! So what if it's the work of the emperor's teacher?”
"This…this…"
For the first time, Zhangsun Wuji looked directly at the young man sitting there. His eyes were wide open and bright.
"This merit will last for thousands of generations!"
