"Phew…I have a new mission." Hearing the voice, Li Chen also reacted. Children indeed needed playmates, or else they would be a little lonely.
Although he could accompany Yaya, the company of his peers was different. His parents and relatives could not replace him.
If he wanted to complete this mission, then wouldn't Princess Jin Yang be a good mission target? Although Princess Jin Yang was a princess, her bearing and personality were not bad. She also got along well with Yaya.
"Mr. Li Chen, you should be able to guess that this is the current Emperor.”Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but say when he saw Li Chen refuse.
Li Er waved his hand, signaling Cheng Yaojin not to speak. With Li Chen's intelligence, he would have guessed his identity long ago, so there was no need to do anything unnecessary.
Although he wanted Li Chen to work for him, he hoped that Li Chen was willing to do so, not because he was forced to!
"This commoner greets the emperor." Since he had been exposed, Li Chen still bowed. However, there was no need to kneel in the Tang Dynasty.
"No need to be polite. To be honest, I do have the intention of hiring you as the teacher of the princes, princesses, and even the crown prince. I just don't know what you think?”Li Er waved his hand and asked seriously after thinking for a while.
"The Crown Prince's teacher? Wouldn't he be the future Grand Tutor?”Hearing this, Li Chen was also a little shocked. He had only known Li Er for less than two hours, and he actually trusted him so much?
The official position of Grand Tutor began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was the assistant minister of the king and the teacher of the emperor (assistant minister, they could manage the country on behalf of the king when he was young or absent). They were in charge of the formulation and implementation of etiquette laws and were one of the three dukes of the court.
This position was abolished during the Qin Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty reinstated it twice briefly. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was established for a long time. Later dynasties had established it, but most of them were empty titles.
In the Tang Dynasty, although this position was mostly empty, it was also the teacher of the prince, princess, and even the crown prince. This weight was naturally not light.
However, Li Chen thought for a moment and knew what Li Er was thinking. The other party wanted him to enter the court and forcefully drag him into the palace.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I am just a commoner. Firstly, I have never accepted the imperial examination system, nor have I ever thought of entering the officialdom. Secondly, I want to use more time to benefit the people of Chang 'an and the people of the world.”Hence, Li Chen looked at Yaya dotingly and said calmly,""Most importantly, my daughter is still young and needs someone to take care of her. She has lost her mother since she was young.”
The last sentence hit Li Er's heart directly. If he wasn't worried that others wouldn't be able to take good care of Si Zi, why would he bring her up personally?
As for Li Chen's claim that he had never taken the imperial examination, that was actually the least important.
On the other hand, he had the hearts of the people of the world and was willing to use his ability to benefit more people. This was something that even Li Er felt ashamed of!
"When can I listen to the story?”Princess Jin Yang shook Li Er's arm and asked with a pout.
Li Eryi slapped his thigh. He had only cared about his own thoughts and had forgotten the purpose of coming here.
"Tell me now, tell me now." Li Er hurriedly said.
"We can listen to stories again." Yaya happily handed a popsicle to Princess Jin Yang.
This time, Li Chen chose a story from Grimm's Fairy Tales.
"A long, long time ago, there was a cute little girl who lived with her parents in a small village. The little girl was very cute and well-behaved. Everyone liked her.”
"Especially her grandmother. She dotes on her the most.”
"This year, on the little girl's birthday, her grandmother specially came from her home in the forest to celebrate her birthday and gave her a red cloak with a cute hat.”
“.......”
This was the story of the famous " Little Red Riding Hood." Li Chen slowly narrated the story. Yaya and Princess Jin Yang listened attentively. As they listened to this fascinating story, they were not only nervous for Little Red Riding Hood, but they also imagined themselves as Little Red Riding Hood who had encountered the big bad wolf.
It was just that such a story sounded a little absurd to Li Er and Cheng Yaojin.
Not long after, Li Er patted Cheng Yaojin's arm and signaled him to leave with him.
Princess Jin Yang listened to the fascinating story and completely ignored her father's departure.
Standing outside the door, Li Er looked at the small courtyard and could not help but sigh."Heroes don't ask where they come from. In your opinion, can Mr. Li Chen bear the title of a hero?”
"Mr. Li Chen is indeed a talented person, but I'm a man of the battlefield. The title of hero should be general.”Cheng Yaojin said thoughtfully.
"Ridiculous." Li Eryi said with regret," All capable people are heroes. It's a pity that last month, I was in front of the gate of Chang 'an Examination Hall. I was so proud."”
"Say what?" Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.
"The heroes of the world have all entered my domain.”Li Er said sadly.
The last time he said this, he was still full of pride. However, after a short conversation with Li Chen, he lost all his pride!
"This is indeed a difficult matter. Mr. Li Chen could even refuse the position of the future Grand Tutor. Clearly, he doesn't want to be an official in the court.”Cheng Yaojin said with a frown.
"Can you think of a way to let Mr. Li Chen enter the court even if you have to lie or act shamelessly?”Li Er said word by word.
"Your Majesty is making things too difficult for me." Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said awkwardly.
Compared to giving Li Er advice, Cheng Yaojin would rather go into battle and kill the enemy!
"Old Cheng, that's true. Zhen was indeed anxious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you about this.”Li Er thought about it and suddenly asked,
"Do you think I know people well?”
"His Majesty has a discerning eye for gold and knows how to appoint people well. Not to mention the court, even the world knows this.”Cheng Yaojin answered without hesitation.
"But this time, with Li Chen's talent, even I can't think of what official position he should be given if he enters the court. If he's unwilling, what should I do?" Li Er said faintly.
"Your Majesty, it's better for Duke Zhao and Duke Liang to participate in this matter. Perhaps there's a better way.”Cheng Yaojin pondered.
"That's right, this one has also thought of this point.”"I saw the two of them when I returned to the palace. They should be here soon!" Li Er said proudly.”
