Chapter 24: The First Day of Gong Xue

The next day, after breakfast, Fan Fan drove Wang Dazhui into the palace.

This is the third time that Wang Dazhui has entered the palace, but this time he is in the most relaxed mood, because he no longer has to worry too much about Li Shimin making trouble for himself.

Before entering the palace, the eunuchs in the palace led the way, this time he walked alone, naturally there was a lot more leisure, he walked while admiring the pavilions in the palace, as well as the flowers and trees on the side of the road.

Flower terrace water pavilion, rockery strange stones, set off each other, interplay into interest.

Along the way, Wang Dazhui also met many beautiful little palace maids, although they were wearing exactly the same palace clothes, but they had thousands of manners and looked very pleasing to the eye.

Wang Dazhui went to the Taiji Hall first, and originally planned to say hello to Li Shimin first. However, Li Shimin was probably too busy and did not see Wang Dazhui, but asked Guo Ren to send a little eunuch to send Wang Dazhui to the place where the princes were studying.

Wang Dazhui greeted Guo Ren with a smile, and then followed the little eunuch to the palace where the princes were studying.

I saw that the plaque was written with the three words "Hongwen Pavilion", the pen was strong, and it was three points into the wood, and it came from the famous holy hand at a glance.

The little eunuch sent Wang Dazhui to the door of the Hongwen Pavilion and left, and Wang Dazhui walked in by himself.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by a young man with a beard and a Confucian shirt, "Little brother, this is Hongwen Pavilion, what are you doing here?" ”

"I am Wang Dazhu, and I came to Hongwen Hall to study with the princes on the orders of the emperor."

After Wang Da Hammer clenched his fists and saluted, he raised his head and answered the other party's interrogation.

"It turns out that you are Wang Da Hammer, and the emperor has already sent someone to inform you of your matter, since this is the case, then you can follow me in to meet our curator Wei Zheng first." The man in the Tsing Yi Confucian shirt said very politely while walking with Wang Da Hammer.

"I didn't expect the director of the Hongwen Pavilion to be the famous Lord Wei." Listening to the other party's words, Wang Dazhui couldn't help but say.

"Yes, the current director of the Hongwen Pavilion is Lord Wei, and the former director Li Gang unfortunately passed away half a year ago. Therefore, the emperor appointed Lord Wei Zheng as the director of the Hongwen Pavilion. The young man in the Tsing Yi Confucian shirt knew everything about Wang Dazhu.

"I haven't asked for my husband's name yet!" Wang Dazhui asked with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart who this young man was?

"Hehe, I'm not the gentleman in this Hongwen Pavilion, my name is Di Renjie, just a teaching assistant here." The man in the Tsing Yi Confucian shirt smiled and explained to Wang Dazhu.

Hearing the three words "Di Renjie", the shock in Wang Dazhui's heart was even more surprising than when he heard Wei Zheng just now.

Unexpectedly, he met Di Renjie, who was famous in later generations and judged cases so early. Wang Dazhui's heart was really constantly shocked by surprises.

The two walked while talking, and soon arrived at the door of Wei Zheng's room, and Di Renjie stepped forward and knocked lightly.

"Come in!"

An emotionless voice came from the room, slightly old.

Di Renjie pushed the door with Wang Da Hammer and entered, only to see that a man in his fifties was writing on the desk in front of the door, he was wearing an official uniform, gray hair, Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his expression was very focused when he was writing.

When he saw Di Renjie coming in with a five-year-old boy, he was slightly stunned, and then as if he remembered something, he put down the pen in his hand and said to Wang Dazhui: "You are the Wang Dazhui that the emperor said to let the princes study together, right?" ”

"Student Wang Dazhu, I've seen Pavilion Master Wei!" Wang Da Hammer bowed and saluted.

Hearing Wang Dazhui call himself the master of the Wei Pavilion, a meaningful expression appeared on Wei Zheng's face, which had always been expressionless.

"Since you're here, let's go to class with me!" Wei Zheng is indeed a straight man, he didn't drag the mud and water at all, he got up and left with Wang Da Hammer directly.

Di Renjie seemed to have long been accustomed to Wei Zheng's style, bowed down and turned to leave. The two of them didn't even speak from beginning to end.

Wang Dazhui didn't care about the amazement, and followed Wei Zheng all the way to the classroom where the princes were studying.

Wei Zheng came to the class, beckoned at the door, and the gentleman who was reading with the princes walked out.

"Master Kong, this is Wang Dazhui, who the emperor asked to accompany several princes to study and study together, please arrange a seat for him." Wei Zheng said directly to the other party.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Wei Zheng didn't wait for the other party to reply, and turned around and left in stride.

The gentleman surnamed Kong looked at Wei Zheng's back with an ugly expression on his face.

"Come in with me!"

This Mr. Kong was the great Confucian Kong Yingda at that time, he was the 31st grandson of Confucius, and he was very big.

Although this Kong Yingda is very knowledgeable, he is very cautious and a rotten Confucian. He was very angry in his heart when he saw that Wei Zheng didn't take him seriously, so he also had a bad impression of Wang Dazhui.

He took Wang Dazhui into the classroom, and neither gave Wang Dazhui a chance to introduce himself, nor did he introduce him to several princes inside.

He coldly pointed to a table in the corner, "You, from now on, sit in that empty seat." After saying that, he waved his hand.

Wang Dazhui didn't know why this descendant of Confucius would target him, but he didn't have the ability to resist, so he saluted the other party, then turned around and walked to the table in the corner and sat down. I took out a few books that I had with me.

"Who are you? Will you come to the class with us? As soon as Wang Dazhui sat down, a prince sitting next to him asked him curiously.

Wang Dazhui thought to himself, although he didn't know who the other party was, but the people who could sit here and read were basically relatives of the emperor.

In line with the idea that if you can make friends, you won't feel offended, Wang Dazhui responded: "My name is Wang Dazhui, the emperor asked me to come here, what's your name?" ”

The other party heard Wang Dazhui's name, thought about it and still didn't know him, and said with a low smile: "My name is Li Ke, your name is really funny." ”

When Wang Dazhui heard that the other party's name was Li Ke, he couldn't help but think that this Li Ke was Li Shimin's third son, and he was the son of Concubine Yang, the daughter of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Yang of Sui.

No wonder he sat in his corner, it turned out to be him, which is not surprising, his mother's identity is embarrassing, so his position is also very embarrassing.

"I'm four years old, how old are you?" Li Ke is like a curious baby, taking advantage of Kong Yingda's inattention above, he took the opportunity to speak.

"I'm five years old, a year older than you." Wang Dazhui had nothing to do, so he whispered to Li Ke without a match.

"What's your name, new kid? You stand up for me, who told you to talk to each other? Suddenly, Kong Yingda noticed the small movements of Wang Da Hammer immediately, and said with a calm face and very stern.

"My name is Wang Da Hammer." Wang Dazhui stood up slowly, listened to Kong Yingda's words, and was very unhappy, why do you arrest me alone when the two of us talk?

In class, everyone burst into laughter.

"Give me a good read." Kong Yingda slapped the table angrily. After the others quieted down, they pointed at Wang Dazhui and said, "Hmph, you can stand and listen to this class, see if you dare to make any more small moves?" ”

Wang Dazhui was depressed in his heart, so he simply pretended to be dead, and the other party should not hear what he said.

Li Ke made a grimace at the king with a hippie smile, and made small movements to deliberately anger the king with a sledgehammer.
