Chapter 37: The Emperor Arrives

One day in mid-April, an official sent a message to Luxi Academy in advance to make everyone prepare. So Xu Chengyu didn't even dare to drink too much water, for fear of making a mistake when picking up the car, so he led all the academy early in the morning.

The man stood in front of the mountain gate waiting for the emperor's arrival.

In the square, Xu Chengyu and his gentlemen stood in front, while the students lined up in neat lines, each standing straight, not daring to hunch his back at all, but seeing that the sun was nowhere to be seen, even the emperor was not even invisible.

Seeing that the students were tired and hungry, they began to complain in a low voice.

"After so long, why haven't you seen anyone? My legs are stiff. When your descending down and kneeling down, I'm afraid I'll fall down."

"Me too, and I'm so hungry. I ate a bun in the morning and didn't even dare to drink porridge."

A student became unrestrained: "If you want to say that His Majesty is the same, if you can't arrive for a while, why should we wait here so early? You can't be more considerate and considerate..."

"Shut up!" Xu Chengyu in front suddenly turned his head and scolded.

"I don't want my life? I dare to arrange your Majesty behind your back!" Xu Chengyu lowered his voice and stared at the students in shock and angrily, "I still want your head if you don't want it! If I hadn't thought that Your Majesty would come at any time,

Maybe I can see the clues. I really want to tie you up and stuff your mouth with a veil and throw it into the woodshed! Don’t let the disaster come out of your mouth and harm all of us!”

We have never seen Xu Chengyu get so angry. He quickly stabilized his shaky figure for a moment, hoping to lock his mouth, for fear of making a sound. Several students who complained were silent in an instant and shrank.

I dare not speak anymore.

It was not until after noon that I saw several teams of guards trotting into the mountain gate. They patrolled the academy at a very fast speed, and finally stood at their own position at the same distance, quietly staring at the crowd of the academy.

The guards were well-trained and described as solemn. They did not say a word when standing guard, creating a tense atmosphere.

After a while, I heard a faint sound of drums and music coming from afar. This was the emperor's ceremonial band. As the music got closer, everyone became more and more nervous and nervous, burying their heads low, and they were not as generous as they were.

Dare to come out.

Soon, many guards and various entourages with weapons came in outside the mountain gate. A eunuch came forward and shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty is here--"

Xu Chengyu lowered his head and saw a bright yellow corner of clothes coming down the sedan chair in front of him. So he lifted up his clothes and knelt down: "The grass man Xu Chengyu bowed to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Seeing this, everyone behind him hurriedly leaned on the ground and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor!"

Emperor Jingfeng Li Zheng looked gentle and reached out to help Xu Chengyuxu up: "Everyone is exempted from court. Mr. Xu is too modest. Even if you are not an official in the court, you are still a teacher who has taught me, let alone

How can you call yourself a genius with the fame of the two Jinshi lists?"

Xu Chengyu bowed and said, "I just taught in the Imperial College for a few days and really didn't dare to be your Majesty's teacher."

Emperor Jingfeng looked him up and said with a smile: "When he was in the Imperial College, Mr. Xu's hair was gray and his face was a little haggard. Now he hid in this mountain after resigning. He looked much better. It was indeed the court officials who urged others.

Old."

"Your Majesty is so serious." Xu Chengyu is neither humble nor arrogant. "If I really want to hide from the court, how could I be the chief of Luxi Academy and urge these children to enter the imperial examination?"

Emperor Jingfeng was very happy when he heard this: "Hahahahahaha, that's true. Over the years, Luxi Academy has trained a lot of talents for the court. I heard that you have recruited a new group of students this year. Are there any good seedlings?

?”

Xu Chengyu said: "I have a few qualifications that are acceptable. I called them over and saw you."

As he said that, he waved his hand and asked Gu Yunji and others to come forward, and introduced one by one: "This is called Cheng Yan, and the academy has always been among the top in the monthly exams; this is called Fang Zigui, although he is not a freshman in this class,

But I have good talent. I learned about Yuan Dynasty in the provincial examination last year. There is also this one, named Gu Yunji, who is the apprentice whom I just accepted this year. I did not avoid being married, so I brought it here with shamelessness."

Several people came to pay homage as they said. When it was Gu Yunji's turn, he stepped forward and knelt down in front of him: "Student Gu Yunji, kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Oh, you're Gu Yunji?" Emperor Jingfeng became interested, "It's true that he is very young, he's really a talented person. Let's go ahead. I will have to talk to you about the strategy of river management later."

Then, Emperor Jingfeng raised his head and said to the students in a loud voice: "I heard that Luxi Academy is full of talents in the morning. Today, I saw that it is indeed well-known. Everyone is full of heroic posture and extraordinary demeanor. You shoulder the heavy responsibility,

They are all pillars of my Daxia Dynasty. I hope you will work harder in the future and carefully comprehend the saints' learning. In the future, you can better serve the court!"

After hearing the emperor's words of praise and encouragement, the students were all excited. At this moment, their physical fatigue was wiped out and they responded in unison: "Yes! I will definitely not let Your Majesty down!"

Emperor Jingfeng nodded with satisfaction and was about to continue talking to Xu Chengyu when he saw a figure hunched in the crowd.

"Su Qi! Come here for me!"

Su Qi quickly tidied up his sleeves and came out of the crowd: "Student Su Qi, please see Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jing Feng kicked his ass lightly and said, "What are you hiding? Is it scary?"

Su Qi said: "Su Qi didn't want to hide, it was because I didn't stand firm for a while and was shocked by His Majesty's dragon power."

Emperor Jing Feng laughed: "It's so slick! No wonder I didn't see you at the Lantern Festival Banquet in the palace this year. It turned out that you came here. Didn't you say that no matter how many sticks Duke Ding broke, you wouldn't be willing to come?"

Su Qi said seriously: "When you say that, I didn't want to come at first. Later, I heard that the crickets in Luxi Academy were very warlike. I wanted to see them, so I came."

Emperor Jingfeng was completely amused by Su Qi. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the other party's forehead and said helplessly: "You, you are still so playful! I remember when I was still in the Zhao Palace, you were the most

I love to run to me to set off firecrackers, and blow up a lot of fish in the pond to death!"

Su Qi was also embarrassed and touched his head embarrassed when he was mentioned in public.

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingfeng smiled faintly: "You were very close to me when you were a child, but now you have grown up and become alienated."

Su Qi hurriedly said: "Su Qi made a lot of jokes when he was young and ignorant. Fortunately, Your Majesty is tolerant. Now that he has grown up, he understands that you should be cautious and steady in life. Your Majesty is busy with everything, so Su Qi naturally dares not bother Your Majesty as he was when he was a child.

.”

"You are just you, be cautious and steady? Forget it!" Emperor Jing Feng said in a leisurely tone, "But your father, Duke Ding, is a military general. Your son does not inherit his legacy, but he wants to take the imperial examination. What do you want to do in the future?

Congwen or Congwu?”

He said casually, but scared Xu Chengyu and others beside him to sweat. What does this mean? Does Duke Ding prepare to unite with his son, both civil and military, both internal and external to control the government? Emperor Jingfeng seems to have

Chatting, but every sentence is a test of others.

Fortunately, Su Qi reacted quickly and immediately shuddered and said, "Although Su Qi is not a good weapon, he also has a loyalty to serve the country. I will do whatever His Majesty asks me to do. If Your Majesty wants me to go to martial arts, I will go to guard the border and fight; Your Majesty

If I want me to be a scholar, then I will take the imperial examination and be a disciple of the emperor. I will accompany you in the court for the rest of my life!”

"Who wants you to accompany me for the rest of my life!" Emperor Jing Feng cursed with a smile. It seemed that he was really pleased by this answer. The smile on his face became a little bit, "Okay, okay, it's great if you have this heart.

How old is it? Duke Ding is not old yet. It's still early to the day you take on the burden!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to let everyone follow him, and then walked into the academy. Seeing this, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly accelerated his pace to catch up with the person in front of him.
