Just after Wang finished giving riding and archery lessons to the academy students, he heard that Tang King Li Zhongyi had arrived at the academy, but he didn't care too much.
It seems that the Tang State has maintained academies for thousands of years, but in fact, the academies have protected the Tang State for thousands of years. Without the academies and masters, the Tang State would have been destroyed by the surrounding countries that were like wolves and tigers.
Li Zhongyi, the king of the Tang Dynasty, had influence on the academy, but in fact it was not that big. At least he could not influence the academy's backers.
At noon, Wang Gang came to the cafeteria to eat as usual, and saw his students greeting them respectfully, with awe in their eyes.
As soon as Wang finished taking the dinner plate, he saw Li Zhongyi and three others queuing up. He didn't go over to say hello, but walked to the end of the line.
Li Zhongyi was holding a dinner plate at this time, watching the academy students in front of him queuing up quietly to get food, and curiously asked Li Yu:
"I see everyone is queuing up in an orderly manner. Is there no one jumping in line?"
Li Zhongyi knew the temperament of those noble children, and it was not easy to get them to line up honestly.
"At the beginning, some people did want to jump in line, and even paid some poor students to help with meals," Li Yu said:
"But after being severely punished by Mr. Wang, no one dared to do anything special anymore, and they all lined up honestly."
Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "This Mr. Wang can make these children of aristocratic families obedient, he must be very good at running the army."
Li Yu smiled and said: "The current group of students in the academy respect and fear Mr. Wang. Their respect is even greater than their fear."
Xia Tian puzzled: "I can think of fear, but where does respect come from?"
Li Yu gave Xia Tian a rare good look and said excitedly: "Mr. Wang works with rewards and punishments, and is fair and strict. In order to conquer the group of noble disciples, he raised a challenge. As long as someone can beat him, he does not have to abide by the rules of the academy.
"
Xia Xia smiled and said: "Mr. Wang is a teacher in the academy. In terms of knowledge and ability, he is naturally above the students. It is not easy to beat him."
Li Yu shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Wang does not compete with students in knowledge, but in everything. No matter what challenges the students raise, as long as they do not violate national laws, they can compete even in food, drink and entertainment."
Xia Xia was surprised and said: "Eating, drinking and having fun are the things that noble children are best at. How can Mr. Wang also beat them?"
Li Yule said cheerfully: "It's not just a victory, it's simply a crushing. Even if Mr. Wang is having fun, he can play tricks and make those nobles fall to the ground.
After being defeated again and again, and unable to compete again and again, those students can only obey the arrangements honestly."
Li Zhongyi noticed that when his daughter mentioned Wang Gang, there was a sense of pride on her face, something he had never seen before!
Queen Xia also discovered that every time Li Yu talked about Wang Gang, his eyes lit up.
As a woman, Xia Tian naturally understands what Li Yu's appearance represents!
At this time, the person who was serving food in front had already walked away, and finally it was the turn of Li Zhongyi and the others.
Li Hunyuan took a spoonful of braised pork and looked up to see his father. He was slightly stunned and the meat fell to the ground.
"Ahem." The person next to him coughed, reminding Li Hunyuan.
Li Hunyuan reacted, quickly put down the spoon, then squatted down to carefully pick up the fallen meat and put it aside.
Li Zhongyi felt slightly distressed for some reason when he saw his son's skillful movements.
"Why don't you throw away the meat that fell on the floor? Why do you put it aside?" Li Zhongyi asked.
"Mr. Wang said that every grain of rice is hard work, and every porridge and meal is hard-earned." Li Hunyuan stood up again and said:
"Ordinary people may not be able to eat these pieces of meat during the Chinese New Year. They just fall on the ground and can be eaten after washing. I will eat them all and won't waste them."
Li Zhongyi opened his mouth, his heart was greatly shaken, and he felt that the son in front of him was very strange.
Only then did he realize that after not seeing him for several months, his son had lost weight, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
Li Zhongyi handed over his own plate, and Li Hunyuan added food to his plate. He did not eat an extra portion of meat because he was his father and the king of Tang Dynasty.
"When you've finished cooking, please move aside and don't interfere with the next person." Li Hunyuan said in a low voice.
Li Zhongyi calmed down and left with the dinner plate.
Xia Tian continued to cook. Li Hunyuan treated everyone equally, but his tone was cooler than before.
"Brother, help me get more vegetables and less meat." When it was Li Yu's turn, she made a request.
"Mr. Wang said you are too thin and should eat more meat." Li Hunyuan said to his sister with a smile.
Li Yu pouted and said, "Mr. Wang is not here."
Li Hunyuan glanced at Wang Gang who was not far away from the team, and his smile became even stronger.
Li Yu saw Li Hunyuan's eyes and couldn't help but glance behind him, and immediately saw Wang Gang who was smiling but not smiling.
"Ah!" Li Yu blushed and quickly turned around, pretending not to see Wang Gang.
Li Hunyuan gave Li Yu a normal portion of food and then greeted the next person.
Li Yu blushed and carried the dinner plate, found Li Zhongyi and Xia Tian, and then found an empty table to sit down.
"Yu'er, why are you blushing and feeling uncomfortable?" Li Zhongyi asked strangely.
"I'm fine." Li Yu said what he meant.
Xia Xia smiled, pulled Li Zhongyi's robe, and interrupted: "The food for college students is good, with vegetables, meat and soup. The portion is just right, not too little, and not wasted."
Li Yu said proudly: "This dinner plate was also Mr. Wang's idea. Everyone has a daily food quota. If it is not enough, you can add rice over there. As long as it is not wasted, you can add as much as you like."??
Li Zhongyi followed Li Yu's finger and saw that there was a rice bucket in the corner of the cafeteria. Students with big appetites could add their own rice.
At this time, Wang Gang came over with a dinner plate and said to Li Zhongyi: "I have met Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Princess."
When Li Zhongyi saw Wang Gang, his eyes lit up and he said happily: "Mr. Wang is here to eat too. Please take a seat. We have an empty seat here. You can sit next to Yu'er."
Wang Gang smiled and put down the dinner plate, and Li Yu deliberately leaned to the side.
"Mr. Wang, entrusting Hunyuan to your guidance is the most correct decision I made. His changes are truly amazing." Li Zhongyi sighed: "As a father, I almost didn't recognize him."
Wang Gang said politely: "The third prince is not bad in nature, but he has lacked education since he was a child, and he is surrounded by many flattering people, so he does not know the sufferings of the people.
During this period of time, I took the third prince to the countryside when I had time, so that he could see the real life of ordinary people and experience their difficulties firsthand. So far, the effect seems to be good, and I plan to promote this rural experience to the entire academy."
"Okay, okay." Li Zhongyi said three good words in a row and said happily:
"This kind of experience should not only be promoted in the academy, but I also want to lead all civil and military officials to imitate it."
Speaking of rising, Li Zhongyi even now wants to return to the palace to discuss with the ministers.
Xia Tian stopped Li Zhongyi and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming to the academy this time?"
"That's right, I almost forgot about the real thing." Li Zhongyi chuckled and said, "I'm going to reunite with Huanyuan later."
Wang Gang carefully observed Li Zhongyi's face and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Li Zhongyi was stunned and said: "Mr. Wang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Wang Gang said solemnly: "When I saw His Majesty laughing, his face was rosy with a hint of purple and black, but he was poisoned?"
Li Zhongyi's smile froze, but Queen Xia's expression changed wildly.
