"Quick, quickly invite the country dukes in.”
Empress Zhangsun hurriedly ordered. When she spoke, she realized that this was not her bedroom. Moreover, so many dukes were not looking for her, but for Li Ke.
"Li Ke, I'm sorry, bengong overstepped my boundaries.”
"Do you think we should invite the country dukes in now?”
Concubine Yang and Li Yin both felt light as a feather. Looking at Li Ke, they felt that they had also risen with the tide. They felt much nobler when they were with Li Ke.
Empress Zhangsun was the master of the three palaces and six courtyards. She was in charge of everything in the harem.
She was the mother of the country!
However, in front of Li Ke, he was also cautious. He even apologized after speaking inappropriately.
Concubine Yang asked herself, since she married Li Shimin, she had never received such treatment.
His son was too powerful.
"Yes, let them in."
Li Ke said with a smile.
There was a new evaluation of Empress Zhangsun.
In fact, Li Ke did not have much influence on Empress Zhangsun before. After all, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne and Li Ke had just transmigrated.
Then, he was impeached for using his strange skills to harm the country, and he was forced to become a vassal of Yizhou and leave Chang 'an.
She was not familiar with Empress Zhangsun at all.
But today, with these few words and the way she conducted herself, Li Ke felt that Empress Zhangsun was indeed not simple.
He spoke and acted flawlessly, taking care of others 'feelings.
She was indeed worthy of being a virtuous empress.
Li Ke spoke, and Empress Zhangsun nodded. Only then did she let the inner servants invite all the dukes in.
"Greetings, Empress."
Zhangsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, and the others first bowed to Empress Zhangsun, then to Concubine Yang, and then to Li Ke.
There was no other way. Although the purpose of everyone's trip was Li Ke, Empress Zhangsun and Concubine Yang were both Li Ke's elders. They had to greet these two first.
Finally, he arrived in front of Li Ke and greeted him as a disciple.
"Greetings, Mr. Li."
They did not address him as King of Shu, but as Mister Li. This was a clear indication that they were treating Li Ke as their disciple.
"You guys can get up."
Li Ke said with a smile.
"Since you all address me as Mister, and I have received your greetings, I naturally have to teach you well.”
"But your identities are special. You are all important officials of the country and usually have many national affairs to deal with.”
"How about this? You guys come to class on the second and eighth day of the first, middle, and third month of each month.”
"As for the rest of the time, serve the Imperial Court.”
"As for your children, from tomorrow onwards, they will be directly enrolled in Hongwen Hall to study.”
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, and the others nodded in agreement.
"We will follow Mr. Li's arrangements."
He looked at all these big shots, all of whom were influential figures in the royal court, and now they were being cautious and humble in front of Li Ke.
Everyone felt that it was very strange and unreal.
Even Empress Zhangsun was a little dazed, wondering if she was dreaming. She pinched her thigh fiercely and felt very painful before realizing that it had indeed happened.
Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian. Li Tai secretly shook his head.
He originally thought that his two sons were outstanding enough, but now he realized that compared to Li Ke, they were far inferior.
After a few simple greetings, Li Ke did not like so many people disturbing the happiness of the mother and son. Empress Zhangsun, the dukes, the crown prince, and the princes all left.
"Mother, you were looking for us?"
After Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and the others left, they stayed in the Virtue Hall and asked Empress Zhangsun.
"Yes."
Empress Zhangsun looked at her two sons and said solemnly.
"Mother knows that the two of you think highly of yourselves, especially when it comes to Confucianism.”
"But what mother wants to tell you is that Li Ke's science is the future of the Great Tang.”
"Because of the plague of locusts, your father has begun to hate Confucianism. He believes that Li Ke's science can truly solve the problem.”
"So don't underestimate Li Ke, you must learn from him seriously.”
"You know what?"
Li Chengqian and Li Tai nodded and solemnly agreed.
"Your son will remember."
Today's scene was also very shocking to them.
There were so many dukes that they had to treat with courtesy, but all of them had the courtesy of a disciple in front of Li Ke.
Unknowingly, they finally felt the gulf between them and Li Ke.
It wasn't because of his status, but because of his spiritual level.
While they were still on the second level feeling smug, Li Ke was already on the fifth level, looking down at them ridiculously and ignoring them. He couldn't be bothered with them.
Although they still hated Li Ke in their hearts, they also understood that their interactions were no longer confrontations, but Li Ke's one-sided suppression.
Therefore, they were much more obedient.
Empress Zhangsun finally felt at ease and let Li Chengqian and Li Tai leave. Tomorrow, they would go to Hongwen Hall on time for class.
She was relieved, but Kong Yingda was completely mad.
A few aristocratic family officials came to the Kong family and told Kong Yingda everything about Li Ke.
"Preposterous!"
Kong Yingda slammed the table and roared.
A few officials of the aristocratic families were sitting in the living room of the Kong family and were shocked.
This was the first time he had seen the renowned Confucian Elder Kong and Kong Yingda roar like a madman.
He was like a completely different person from his usual high and mighty appearance.
However, this was the effect they wanted. They continued to fan the flames.
"Elder Kong, not only has the King of Shu taken over Hongwen Hall and become its master, he is also going to establish a sect and promote science. This is going to cut off the heritage of our Confucian school!”
"If science takes over in the future and Confucianism weakens, then the foundation of our aristocratic families will have been accumulated for thousands of years in vain.”
"Elder Kong, you're the descendant of Saint Kong, so you can't just ignore us at a time like this. Our families are all looking at you and following your lead!”
Kong Yingda took a deep breath to calm her excited mood and said coldly.
"Hmph, don't worry."
"I will not let the King of Shu off."
"Tonight, I will write a memorial. In court tomorrow, I swear to impeach the King of Shu and let His Majesty punish him!”
