Chapter 763 Let Zhinu go too

"Sir, do you know that the Liu Mansion is now starting to recruit students with great fanfare?" In the Yue Mansion, while the Liu Mansion began to take the exam for more students, Yue Li Zhen also hurriedly called Jia Yi to the hall. Before Jia Yi could sit in the side position, Li Zhen asked Jia Yi urgently.

"Now this matter has caused a lot of controversy throughout Chang'an City. Even if I don't want to know, it's hard." After bowing to Li Zhen, Jia Yiti sat down next to Li Zhen, raised his hand and whispered, "I didn't expect that Liu Yi would deal with it like this, which is really surprising."

He originally thought that King Yue would uncover the master-apprentice relationship between him and Liu Yi. As Liu Yi's only prince's disciple, he would gather Liu Yi's reputation and connections in the palace of King Yue and cook the fire to cook the rice. At that time, even if he was angry, even blamed and resentful, he would not harm the interests of King Yue.

But now, Liu Yiu unexpectedly came up with a more decisive idea, not only to accept disciples, but also to have no identity limit. That means that except for the children of ordinary people and powerful people who can get started, other princes would not refuse if they were willing? If that was the case, then his previous plan against Liu Yiu and His Highness the King of Yue was completely lost.

Without any benefit, it will cause a smell of fishy smell. Jia Yi frowned and lived for more than fifty years. He thought he was the first time he met someone like Liu Yi who did not follow the rules.

Ordinary people can force them with power, villains can tempt them with profit, and gentlemen can deceive them with beauty. These are the three proverbs summarized by Jia Yi in the past few decades of doing things, and it is also the principle of all his behaviors and actions. In the past, these three proverbs have always been invincible. I don’t think that today, I have walked back to Maicheng with a real life on Liu Yi.

An extraordinary person is not a villain. I thought he would be a gentleman, but I didn’t want to, but in the end I was wrong.

"Sir, what should I do now?" Through the previous case of the palace-tornment, Li Zhen also knew that his relationship with Liu Yi was now in a close relationship, and it was impossible to return to the same harmonious state as before. However, as soon as he thought of the many benefits that Liu Yi could bring to him, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel reluctant: "Or, the student will also go to Liu Yi's house to join in the fun. If he can pass the assessment, Liu Yi would never have broken his promise in person."

"Your Highness is confused!" Jia Yi was so angry that his beard almost jumped up. He put the bowl in his hand on the table, making a very harsh bang. The old man did not expect that the disciples he had worked hard to train for many years would have such a ridiculous idea.

"Not to mention whether Liu Yi would let the trip and not let Your Highness pass," he realized that he was a little rude, and Jia Yi bowed his head and bowed to Li Zhen with a guilty conviction, and explained to him: "If Your Highness really went to take the exam in the Liu Mansion and competed with a group of common people as a prince, wouldn't he be demoted to his identity?"

"It would be fine if you win, but if you fail, wouldn't it mean that your highness is even worse than ordinary poor families? If so, what would the ministers in the court think? What would the emperor think? Have you ever thought about these highnesses?"

"This..." Li Zhen's tone paused, and was so speechless that Jia Yi asked her. The feeling of dissatisfaction and anger that she felt at Jia Yi had just disappeared without a trace as Jia Yi said these questions.

"Also," seeing Li Zhen silent, Jia Yi continued to say: "After the incident before, almost all the officials and gentry in Chang'an City knew that you were a master-disciple relationship with Liu Yi. If you go to Liu's house to take the exam now, wouldn't you say that all the news circulating before were all rumors. In fact, you have nothing to do with Liu Yi? If that is the case, the situation your highness will face will only be worse!"

First, he spread the news himself, and finally overturned himself. Isn’t this slap himself in the face?

"Then, then, what should I do now?" After being told by Jia Yi's successive assumptions and truths, Li Zhen stood up gently, faced Jia Yi directly, bowed his hand, bowed deeply, and said, "I hope the teacher can teach me."

"Your Highness is so serious. As the palace attendant, I will do my best to solve your problems. Please sit down first," Jia Yi also stood up and returned the favor with a tribute. Finally, he reached out and asked Li Zhen to sit down again. After that, the old man pretended to serve tea and drink carefully.

"I think the teacher is already calculating, so I ask the teacher to give a lesson!" Seeing that Jia Yi's face was calm and he was not nervous and embarrassed, Li Zhen's heart also relaxed a little, and bowed and asked Jia Yi for advice again.

"Your Highness now, just watch the changes." Very satisfied with Li Zhen's humble attitude, Jia Yi raised his hand calmly and stroked the beard on his chin and said, "Although Liu Yi did a great job of recruiting disciples, it would be even more perfect if he could receive the words of the other princes through this. He could not only clear away the rumors that he had defected to the Yue Palace, but also successfully avoid the party-government disputes among the princes and restore his previous neutrality of unsupporting each other."

"But no matter how he does it, there is one thing he can't get rid of," Jia Yi looked at Li Zhen in front of him and said softly: "That is, there is indeed a master-apprentice relationship between him and His Highness."

"Although there is no big difference between this relationship and not, it can also ensure that Liu Yi will not make any more unfavorable and crazy actions against His Highness," said the truth. Jia Yi was already a little timid about this master who did not play according to common sense and was extremely bold and cruel: "So, in the past few days, His Highness has been as steady as before."

"Didn't that boy Liu did some apprenticeship examination? Do you know what the result?" In the imperial study, when Li Shimin was tired and resting, he suddenly remembered the news that was very lively in Chang'an City before, so he asked Li Ran softly.

"I said it was a three-day period in total. Today is the second day." If I had known that the emperor would ask about Liu Yi, Li Ran replied quietly: "I heard that there were many people taking the exam. I went there on the first day and 203 people today. I thought that there would be more people going to come tomorrow. However, because the test questions given by Mr. Liu were too weird and remote, so far, only one poor child named Sun Yue has passed."

"Oh?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Ran with some interest and said, "Do you know what problems he has raised? Only one of the more than 300 people has passed?"

"There are two sets of test questions, one tests the science of judging and the other tests the trick. Although the test questions tested in the past two days are different, the questions have similarities," Li Ran took out two sheets of rolled white paper from his sleeve and said sharply: "This is the Liu Mansion test questions collected by the villain in the past two days. There are two sides and four sets. The correct answers to each question are also written on it. Please read it."

"Well, you kid are getting smarter." Li Shimin looked at Li Ran with satisfaction, reached out to take over the test question, and did not make any decisions about Li Ran, and there was a little bit of blame.

"The emperor has given me a lot of awards, these are all things that villains should do." After receiving the emperor's praise, Li Ran smiled and bowed to speak in vain. Then he stood quietly behind Li Shimin with tactfulness, silently without saying anything.

"Huh? This, this..." Looking at the questions on the paper, Li Shimin couldn't help but make a sound of surprise. Is Liu Yi's exam the top scorer or the students exam? These questions are too difficult to answer? Complex arithmetic and difficult to guess, not to mention some children of a few years old or even teenagers, even many scholars in the school are very rare to answer them all.

"You just said that a poor family passed the exam?" Li Shimin asked Li Ran with some disbelief: "What's your name? How old is this year? Which test questions are they answered?"

"Return to the emperor," Li Ran replied quietly: "The student's surname is Sun Yue. He is just nine years old this year. He answered the first set of test questions today."

Knowing that the emperor was still confused, Li Ran continued: "I heard that Sun Yue is the son of a vegetable farmer in the suburbs of the west of the city. She sells vegetables with her father every day, collects accounts and settles accounts. She is extremely sensitive to numbers. Therefore, she can stand out among the elected disciples and become the second disciple under Mr. Liu."

"Second?" Hearing this, Li Shimin's face, which was still a little interested, suddenly became gloomy: "Yes, apart from Lao Ba's self-righteous thing, this Sun Yue is indeed his second formal apprentice."

"..." Seeing that the emperor looked wrong and knew that he had said the wrong words just now, Li Ran tactfully retreated to the side, not daring to say more words.

"Okay, you'll go to the East Palace with these two test questions and hand them over to the queen," Shaking his head lightly, Li Shimin lost interest in reading it, raised his hand and handed the test paper to Li Ran again, and instructed in a low voice: "Let the queen and others analyze the test questions clearly, and then give the solution to Zhinu and Yizi. When the Liu Mansion tries again tomorrow, let them try their luck."

"Uh, Your Highness, Your Highness King Jin and Your Highness Princess Jinyang are noble. If you go to Liu Mansion to take the exam and fight with the common people, it would be a bit inappropriate?" Li Ran advised quietly carefully.

"Isn't it right?" Li Shimin's expression changed and he said sternly: "What's wrong with it? On one side is my children and on the other side is my people. In my eyes, no one is more noble or humble than anyone else. It is not a bad thing for them to have more contact with those poor children and understand more about the sufferings and difficulties of the people!"
