Chapter 159 Is the Great Tang National Teacher great?
Chapter 159: Is the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty great?
Talisman Master Yan Se is in a very bad mood now.
He stared at Professor Huang He in front of him and said with a chill: "Anyway, your academy can't have Ning Que."
Professor Huang He raised his eyebrows slightly and said mockingly: "Uncle Master can like that boy, why shouldn't our academy?"
Yan Se shouted loudly: "That boy is born to cultivate the magic talisman. Who else in the world besides me is qualified to be his teacher?"
Professor Huang He smiled contemptuously and said: "Only Talisman Masters are qualified to be his teachers? That's fine. We can't pick out other powerful figures in our academy. Two or three Talisman Masters can still find them."
The tone when he said this was like saying that there are always two or three green radishes in his backyard. Talisman masters are indeed noble and rare, but the academy is not an ordinary place after all. He himself is even a talisman master.
Master, the Academy’s profound foundation, except for the Xiling Divine Kingdom, who can compete with it?
Yan Se was at a loss for words and said shamelessly: "Anyway, I took a look at it first, so don't even think about snatching it away."
Huang He sighed and said, "Uncle, you are highly respected, don't you always try to cheat?"
Yan Se took a sip and said angrily: "Master, look at me like this. I visit brothels every day and hug girls. Every pore in my body is filled with the words "obscene and obscene". Where did you see that I am highly respected?
"
"Even if you, Uncle Master, go all out today to stop this old face of feeling inferior to yourself, it won't be of any use."
Professor Huang He looked at him and said seriously: "His Majesty the Emperor may fall for your tricks, the Imperial Master will fall for your tricks, and I even think the headmaster and high priest of Xiling Temple will fall for your tricks, but our academy
I definitely won’t eat it.”
The conversation in the study room seemed a bit ridiculous, but the dispute between the two Talisman Masters, no matter how they looked like ruffians, was bound to be extremely tense because of their identities, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing.
At this moment, Prince Li Peiyan suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, what is there to argue about? In my opinion, since Ning Que's cultivation is only at the level of no confusion and is far inferior to Prince Longqing, then let Prince Longqing
Enter the second floor and ask Master Yan Se to accept Ning Que as his disciple. In this way, both the empire and the Xiling Temple are satisfied, and Master Yan Se is also satisfied. Ning Que still retains his status as a student in the front yard of the academy, and the academy will be equal to the same time.
With two very potential students, wouldn’t this ending be quite perfect?”
Professor Huang He was slightly startled when he heard these words. He felt that it sounded reasonable, but something was wrong.
Li Peiyan looked at him and said gently: "If the academy is limited by the system and is unable to make this decision, Ning Que can withdraw on his own. As long as he gives up his qualifications to enter the second floor, who in the world would dare to make irresponsible remarks about the academy?
?”
Professor Huang He frowned and said, "Why should Ning Que give up?"
Li Peiyan did not answer his question immediately, but turned to Master Yan Se and asked with a smile: "Master, I would like to know how you and the Imperial Master are going to treat Ning Que if he becomes your disciple and enters the south gate of Haotian Dao to cultivate.
?”
"Of course I treat him like a nephew and teach him with all my money." Yan Se replied resolutely.
Li Peiyan looked at Professor Huang He, smiled and spread his hands and said: "We all know that Mr. Guoshi has no outstanding disciples, and Master Yan Se has no one to inherit. If Ning Que enters the south gate of Haotian Dao, he only needs to practice hard by himself.
Coupled with the careful training of the two masters, maybe he will be the future national master of our Datang Empire. With such a bright future, why wouldn't he be willing?"
Professor Huang He finally understood where the previous doubt in his mind came from. He tightened his hands slightly in his sleeves and stared into the eyes of His Highness. He secretly thought that His Highness's move was really cruel. If Ning Que really got the title of the future Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty,
He was tempted and decided to withdraw from the second floor of the academy on his own. Then what reason did the academy have to compete with Haotian South Gate to grab people?
Previously, Yan Se had been retreating to advance and advancing to retreat. Now the tide is turning, and it is the academy's turn to retreat to advance and gain time to think about how to deal with it. Professor Huang He said without a doubt: "No matter what.
Ning Que, what's your opinion? We must consult all the teachers in the academy on this matter, otherwise wouldn't it become child's play?"
In the early morning, when it was dawn, Ning Que woke up rubbing his eyes.
He glanced at the dim light outside the window and calculated silently that he had not been unconscious for too long. He stood up and walked to the table, raised the pot of herbal tea and poured it into the big pot. His spirits were suddenly lifted, and he glanced around.
, and found that this should be the academy’s apartment.
He walked to the door, stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the wooden door open. The faint morning light penetrated through the narrow crack in the door and shone into his eyes. He couldn't help but squint his eyes. Suddenly he woke up and looked at
That morning light stood like a fool at the door, unable to move.
That long mountain road, those arduous climbs from noon to dusk and late into the night, those repeated episodes of joys and sorrows in life, that black wasteland and strange dreams, returned to his mind.
"I... reached the top of the mountain."
"I...entered the second floor."
Ning Que stared blankly at the morning light in the crack of the door. Only then did he realize what he had experienced and what he had done. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, with a confused smile on his face, as if he couldn't even believe that all of this was like this.
occur.
Thinking of the last step on the boulder last night and the painful choice in the wilderness, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, thinking that who knew who set up the illusion actually allowed a worldly boy like himself to do that?
Xuanxu's choice is like asking a butcher to think about philosophical issues. Even if he can come up with the correct argument, who knows what the reasoning process is?
He laughed up to the sky and went out, how can we be rotten people? Ning Que pushed open the wooden door in front of him with a smile, walked into the beautiful morning light, and then found several officials standing outside the door, and then he actually had to do it again
A very difficult choice.
"You are not yet a student on the second floor of the academy, so you still have the opportunity to quit, and you still have the opportunity to choose another path that is completely different, but absolutely equally exciting and bright, and is even destined to be famous all over the world."
Prince Li Peiyan sat in the chair, took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, slightly relieved the sleepiness caused by lack of sleep, looked at the silent academy student in front of him, and continued: "I think
You should choose the second path, because this matter involves the harmonious diplomatic relations between the imperial court and Xiling. Although our Tang Empire will never fear any enemies and will never bow to external pressure, Prince Longqing entered the second floor
The building is an agreement personally drawn up by His Majesty and the temple."
"As long as you take the initiative to withdraw from the competition on the second floor of the academy, the difficulties faced by many people will be solved. The empire will bear much less pressure, and all aspects will benefit from it." Li Peiyan found that Ning Que was always silent and lowered his head.
There was no response, and he was slightly unhappy and said: "As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to share the worries of the empire. Of course, for this reason, I will let you withdraw from the second floor of the academy. Don't say it is you, even if I am
The king would also find it too ridiculous and rude."
"So I will give you another absolutely sufficient reason."
Li Peiyan slowly leaned forward, stared at the top of Ning Que's head, and said: "Master Yan Se, as a high-status Talisman Master, does not hesitate to pretend to be crazy and act like a fool, but also wants to take you back to be his apprentice. You can imagine how he will value you in the future.
, how to train carefully. In more than ten years, you will become a high-ranking Talisman Master, and you will become the hope of Haotian Nanmen ZTE. National Master Li Qingshan only has two apprentices, both of whom are ineffective. He respects his senior brothers very much, and he is better than
Everyone knows what a Talisman Master means to a sect."
Ning Que remained silent, but there was quite a stir in his heart. He just entered the second floor and won the favor of the Talisman Master. It was just a night's work. He, an ordinary student with no reputation, was selling food in the back alleys of Dongcheng.
The little person with the word "ZTE" turned out to be the fragrant sesame seed cake that both the Academy and Haotian South Gate wanted to fight for. It was even regarded as some kind of "ZTE Hope" - "ZTE Hope" is such a big and unreasonable word that it gives people a headache just to look at it. Shouldn't it be
Is it exclusive to people like Prince Longqing?
"I know that you have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess." Li Peiyan looked at him and said gently: "I can also make you a promise here. As long as you are willing to share the worries of the court, the court will never treat you badly. I also owe you personally.
A favor. In the future, when you enter the realm of destiny and become a Talisman Master, you will naturally become the next National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Peiyan continued: "Of course the second floor of the academy is an extremely wonderful place. However, looking back at the books of history, how many students on the second floor can leave their names? But if you become the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, you will still be the master of the Tang Dynasty.
Countless people remember your name."
The future imperial master of the Tang Empire?
Although Ning Que's expression was calm as usual, his inner emotions had already been shaken by these words.
He seemed to see a brilliant golden avenue unfolding under his feet. Should he give up the second floor of the academy to study with the Talisman Master and pursue a future as a Tang Dynasty Imperial Master, or should he enter the second floor and follow the Master to learn the exquisite cultivation methods?
, this is really an extremely difficult choice, he even felt that the choice he made on the cliffside wasteland last night was easier than this one.
Ning Que looked at His Highness the Prince's face and knew that as long as he nodded, his future would be infinitely bright. He believed that these words were true, and believed that as long as he had the opportunity to study with the Talisman Master, he could really become the Great Master of the Tang Dynasty in the future. If
The man who said these words was not the one making the request to me. Maybe he was really tempted.
Li Peiyan looked at the emotional reaction in his eyes and vaguely guessed what he would choose. His face suddenly became solemn, he held the handle of the chair tightly with his right hand, stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This is what Haotian asked the court to give you.
If you miss this opportunity, you will be punished by God."
There is no doubt that this is a naked threat. Faced with this threat, even if Ning Que really becomes a student on the second floor of the academy, he must think carefully in front of this threat, because if he lives in this world, he will be
Bound by the rules of this world.
Ning Que bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Your Highness, after all, I am an academy student. I have studied in the academy for a year and have deep feelings. I am willing to share the worries of the imperial court, but I must consider the academy's feelings."
Some people unceremoniously put the power and pressure of choice on Ning Que's shoulders, in order to avoid angering the academy. However, how could Ning Que, a person like Ning Que who seems to be refreshing and clear-minded but is actually very slippery, take the initiative to shoulder this kind of responsibility?
Responsibility, with just one word, throws away the power and pressure of choice directly.
As for whether the academy would choose to give up on him and accept Prince Longqing into the second floor, Ning Que was not worried. He and Li Yu had a tacit agreement on this matter. The master had not returned to the country, and no one in the academy would
He dared to make his own opinions. There was actually another thought deep in his heart. If the academy could not resist the pressure from the court and finally gave in and gave himself to the South Gate of Haotian Dao, then why should he stay in such an academy? Do it.
Who wouldn’t be happy with a Tang Dynasty Imperial Master?
His and Li Yu's ideas were not wrong in themselves, but it was always easy for some deviations to occur between reality and ideas, because they did not expect that the academy teachers were also quite fond of Prince Longqing's talents, and not all teachers
He is from Tang Dynasty.
In the academy in the early morning, the teachers were sitting in the room having a heated debate. The fact that the Master did not return did not allow them to draw the quickest conclusion. However, it was precisely because the Master was not in the academy that they had the courage to express their opinions.
Cao Zhifeng, associate professor of etiquette, said angrily: "Many people think that our academy cheated in this exam. I don't know whether this is true or false. I only know that Prince Longqing came out of the fog very early, so why did he
Hui stayed outside the fog for such a long time, why did he finally take the last step with Ning Que? What happened in the meantime? "
Professor Cao is a senior professor in the academy, so what he said naturally has some power. Although everyone in the room knew very well that this professor from the Yan Kingdom raised objections because he was dissatisfied with Prince Longqing's failure, but no one could explain it.
The question he raised even made some teachers secretly wonder, could it be that those people at the back of the mountain had really tampered with the exam?
An old woman wearing a blue cloth coat and holding a bamboo broom in her hand looked at the people arguing like idiots and said: "What a boring discussion. Whoever reaches the top first will be accepted. It's that simple."
Question, why do you have to complicate it? Cao Zhifeng, you have been running to Chang'an City every day to see your prince. When you return to the academy, you cry bitterly. You feel that this is your hope for the rejuvenation of the Yan Kingdom, but this has nothing to do with the academy.
Son? I can't stand listening to you, I'm leaving."
The honorary female professor of mathematics in the college left, and several professors who devoted themselves to academic services and did not want to be bothered by secular affairs also left one after another. The debate in the room became more and more intense. Many teachers believed that the imperial court's proposal could indeed make people happy.
All parties are satisfied. In this case, why not choose this way? Do you have to offend all the forces for Ning Que?
When Associate Professor Cao Zhifeng became angry and impassioned again, the door was suddenly pushed open with a creak, and all the teachers looked in shock. After a moment, a pink and tender face came in, with a pair of black eyes.
Direct turn.
Walking in the door was a little book boy, fresh and cute with a bit of shyness. He looked at the teachers and asked softly in a mosquito-like voice: "My young master has something to ask you gentlemen, so I asked you to pass the message."
The teachers in the room knew the identity of the little book boy and asked gently: "Mr. Second, what do you want to ask?"
"My young master got up this morning and found that there were still many idle people waiting in the academy. He lost his temper." The little book boy opened his big eyes and looked at everyone in the room and said, "He wanted to ask all the teachers why.
It's been a night and the notice hasn't been posted yet. What are those idle people doing here? Do you want him to invite them to dinner? "
Hearing this, the teachers looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to answer. They all knew that the second senior brother on the second floor of the academy did have a bit of a bad temperament, but they never expected that he would call people like His Highness the Prince and Master Yan Se
For the idlers etc.
Professor Cao Zhifeng glanced at the little book boy and said, "The candidate for the second floor has not yet been decided, so naturally the notice cannot be posted."
He originally thought that this statement would make the other party displeased, and he was already prepared to give a full explanation. However, he did not expect that the little book boy was so shy that after hearing the answer, he lowered his head and walked out the door.
The debate among the teachers in the room continued again, but not long after, the door creaked again.
There were beads of sweat on the little book boy's pink face. It was obvious that he had run in a hurry just now. He looked at the teachers and said, "Master asked, what do you mean the candidate for the second floor has not been decided yet?"
Professor Cao Zhifeng said displeasedly: "What does it mean to have no determination? No determination means no determination. Ning Que actually defeated Prince Longqing and climbed the mountain first. Many people have doubts about this matter. They suspect Houshan of cheating. How can we determine if people are dissatisfied?"
The little book boy looked at him in bewilderment. After a long time, he suddenly came to his senses. He said yes and turned around to leave. He didn't know whether he understood what Associate Professor Cao Zhifeng said.
The room was quiet, and the teachers did not start the argument again, because they strongly felt that the second senior brother's little book boy would come back soon and continue to ask those stupid questions.
The door creaked open.
The little book boy opened his big eyes, looked at Associate Professor Cao Zhifeng and asked: "Master asked, who is dissatisfied?"
Professor Cao Zhifeng was stunned. He looked at the fresh and lovely pink face of the little book boy and his confused expression. He really couldn't tell a lie and was unwilling to push those people outside the academy. He frowned and said, "I
Not convinced."
The little book boy said "oh" and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly he thought of the second half of what the young master said to him on the mountain. He quickly turned around, scratched his head with a smile and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Cao Zhifeng." Associate Professor Cao Zhifeng said displeasedly: "Why do you ask me this?"
The little book boy had a matter-of-fact look on his face and said, "Because the young master wants to know who is dissatisfied."
After saying this, the little book boy turned around and went out, running back up the mountain again.
The door creaked open again.
The little book boy panted and held on to the door frame, looked at Cao Zhifeng and said: "Young... the young master said..."
Cao Zhifeng couldn't help laughing, shook his head and sighed, "What did your young master say again?"
The little book boy swallowed his saliva, looked at him very seriously and said: "My young master said that the academy has no distinction between countries and recruits talents from all over the world. Cao Zhifeng, you are from Yan, so your heart is towards Longqing. I don't blame you, but you have to
Remember, you are a professor of etiquette. What was the first lesson you taught to the students in the academy? What exactly are the etiquette in the academy?"
This retelling was spoken quickly and smoothly. The little book boy's pink face raised his eyebrows from time to time and snorted, showing indifference and displeasure. He was obviously imitating the demeanor of the second senior brother in the academy when he spoke. He looked extremely funny and cute.
This caused a burst of laughter from the teachers in the room, but Cao Zhifeng couldn't laugh. The smile on his face instantly faded, and he suppressed his anger and asked: "What exactly do you want to say, Mr. Second?"
"Cao Zhifeng, you said in the academy that etiquette in the academy is the rules, and the rules are based on who has the strength to set the rules."
The little book boy looked at him and said seriously: "Master and senior brother are traveling abroad. In the current academy, I am the only one who has the strength to set the rules. So whether you obey or not, you must obey and put the notice immediately."
Post it."
After Associate Professor Cao Zhifeng was stunned for a long time, he waved his academic robe angrily and protested: "How can you convince the public when you act so domineeringly?"
The little book boy didn't know that this was an expression of true feelings, and thought it was also a formal question. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly raised his little palms happily, clapped and said happily: "Young master is really smart, you can't even understand what you said."
He also guessed it, he asked me to tell you."
The expression on Associate Professor Cao Zhifeng's face was very ugly.
The little book boy looked at him, forced a serious look and said: "I don't need to convince the public, I just need to obey."
A teacher couldn't bear to see Professor Cao's embarrassed expression at this time, and said from the side: "Even if you don't care about the opinions of Your Majesty, Master Yan Se or Xiling on this matter, you must always respect Ning Que's own choice."
Pushing open the wooden door again, the little book boy's clothes were all wet with sweat. He raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead. It took him a long time to calm down, and he looked up at everyone in the room as he recounted for the last time a certain second senior brother.
conclusion.
"Respect Ning Que's own choice? Why should I respect him? As for the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty..."
When he said this, the little book boy deliberately made a long pause, then raised his slightly pointed chin, rolled his eyes at the roof, clumsily suppressed a cold snort from his little nose, and made the arrogant man on the mountain laugh.
The facial expressions are extremely cute.
"Is it amazing?"
On a flat cliff on the mountain behind the academy, green pine trees bloom to welcome visitors, and white clouds flow among them, making it seem like a fairyland on earth.
Two people were standing on the edge of the cliff.
One of them was wearing a very dirty and tattered Taoist robe.
Another man was wearing a most bizarre ancient crown.
The second senior brother of the academy turned around and looked at Yan Se, who was enshrined at the south gate of Haotian with an expressionless face, and said: "You actually dare to reach out to the academy, and you actually want to snatch my teacher's students, not to mention you, even the headmaster of Haotian in Xiling
, and it’s not that big a portion either.”
Yan Se smiled strangely, looked at him and said: "The second son of the academy is indeed the most proud one in the world. His words are really ugly, but I am older than you, so I won't fight with you to avoid being said to bully the juniors, but
I must take this boy Ning Que away. Even if the master is here, I still have this attitude. If you want me to die, I have to do it."
The second senior brother looked at him and smiled mockingly, and said: "Don't make so many excuses. If you are not an old fool, you should remember that I am higher than you in terms of teacher and Pipi. Since you want to follow me
How can there be no reason not to fight when someone is being snatched from his hands?"
"If you say I won't fight, I won't fight."
Yan Se looked at the hat on his head and said mockingly: "The mountain behind the academy is your home court. I'm not that stupid. Anyway, if I don't take action, you can't take action against me. As for Ning Que's matter, after all, it's still
It depends on his attitude. In the future, my junior brother and I will ensure that he becomes the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. It is better than staying in this mountain every day and suffering from the idleness of senior brothers like you."
The second senior brother rolled his eyes to the sky and mocked: "Isn't the Imperial Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty... very great? Aren't you going to be criticized by those old masters of the Li family and Xiling every day? The Imperial Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty is not a national preceptor, he is just a person who has been wronged.
