Chapter 49: The Emperor's Thoughts

Li Yan, a doctor from the Guozi Supervision School, also routinely attended today's morning court meeting today.

Unlike other civil and military officials, he does not attend every morning court meeting, except on some special days or occasions.

His main responsibility is to be responsible for the operation of the Arithmetic Hall under the umbrella of Guozijian.

As we all know, the culture of the Tang Dynasty is broad and profound, brilliant and splendid, it is a very important pillar of the Tang civilization, involving all aspects of material culture, spiritual culture and institutional culture, and the core and most influential is the complete education system of the Tang Dynasty.

It not only has two major education systems, official and private, but also specialized schools, such as arithmetic, law, calligraphy, hydraulic engineering, architecture, agronomy, military affairs, etc., all have their own specialized schools, so as to train specialized talents.

Among them, arithmetic is a particularly important specialized education.

The Arithmetic Hall under the Chang'an Guozijian is similar to the junior branch of the National Central University, specializing in teaching the art of arithmetic.

Although formal public schools and private schools will teach arithmetic, but those are all superficial and very shallow, but the arithmetic hall is different, his and requirements are higher, if you can't reach a certain attainment, you can't graduate.

Of course, if you can successfully graduate, you can be assigned a job by the state and enter the official career.

Only Huang Xinghe is different, he is a scholar who is obsessed with the imperial examination, because he believes that he can enter the official career by virtue of his talent to participate in the formal imperial examination!

Of course, that's harder.

Therefore, it is reasonable that he has been on the list for many years.

Huang Xinghe is the proud protégé of Li Yan, a doctor of the Guozi Supervision School, but during this period of time, his protégé and himself have been abused by a mysterious friend of this protégé, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.

Those bizarre but clever arithmetic problems, those whimsical and high-five-beating solutions all make them itch and suffer, but they can't find a way.

He didn't even see this legendary magical hermit face. The reason is -

People don't want to meet strangers!

Hehe, Li Yan feels that the world is so big, it is really strange.

But he could understand these strange people.

After all, you can't be a strange person without quirks.

However, he also heard the story above the court yesterday, and the master of the group also found him in person and communicated with him who was the person above the court who repelled the arrogance of the envoys of Dongying?

Could it be the same person as the hermit friend in Huang Xinghe's mouth?

Li Yan also asked the Third Highness Li Xiang about the information of his hermit friend, but because he didn't get Yang Jian's consent, Li Xiang didn't want to go into too much detail, but he said that his best friend lived in the village of Chang'an City, and the name of that village was the same place as the village where his protégé Huang Xinghe lived that Li Yan knew!

The story is here, and Dr. Li Yan and the master and his party also roughly know the mystery of the story.

Therefore, they came to the court very early today, especially Li Yan, who originally had nothing to do with him today, but he also thought of a reason to meet the saint, and in fact, his purpose was to see the legendary strange man and hermit!

However, the ministers waited left and right, and His Majesty said that this morning the emperor would definitely come to thank the strange people of the Holy Grace.

Even Emperor Li Longji couldn't help but start muttering in his heart.

No, all the ministers of the court meeting have been dealt with today, but the main person in his heart has not appeared for a long time.

He also deliberately asked Gao Lishi to go to the imperial steps outside the court once.

However, the sun had risen outside the court, and the sun had already reached the top of the head, and the legendary hermit was nowhere to be seen!

"Lux, are you sure you saw the hermit himself yesterday?"

Li Longji is a little unconfident.

The Haikou that he boasted yesterday wants everyone to see the strange people that the Tang Dynasty has not met in a hundred years today, especially the line, and yesterday evening he also sent someone an urgent letter, saying that he is almost certain that he has never met the strange hermit who is destined to meet should be this best friend in the prince's mouth!

This aroused the emperor's interest even more!

Such an amazing hermit has accepted his reward yesterday and today, and has promised to come to the saint!

What exciting news is that?!

If Datang can get such talents, why worry that the country cannot continue to prosper?

Thinking about this, Li Longji was excited all night and didn't sleep well, even Concubine Wu Hui, who was turned over, felt that His Majesty the Emperor last night was distracted, and she was distracted several times, even if she was skilled, she could only give up in the end.

She didn't close her eyes all night, and she always felt that His Majesty had lost interest in herself? That's why that's the case?

"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has indeed met the person Your Majesty is looking for yesterday, and has personally verified his identity."

Colliers had a whisk in his hand, but his eyes were wandering.

He didn't know how to open his mouth and tell His Majesty the Emperor that the so-called hermit he was going to meet was actually nothing more than a doll?

A doll!!

"The result?"

Li Longji sat on the dragon chair and whispered to Gao Lishi.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave is sure that he is the person Your Majesty is looking for."

Colliers is sure of that.

"Did you tell this hermit yesterday that you would come to see me today?"

Li Longji was worried, afraid that Lux had forgotten to say that I had an invitation yesterday?

"Of course, a thousand times."

Colliers' voice was certain.

"That's good, that's good, but why am I still so worried—"

Li Longji feels that there is no problem in every link, so why hasn't he seen his thirsty strange person so far?

There must be something wrong.

And this problem is precisely what worries him the most.

"What is Your Majesty worried about?"

Gao Lishi lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, but in his heart was 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

Yang Jian's little doll, you must not harm the family!

"I'm worried if this hermit will decide to disappear again for now?"

Li Longji's worries are not unreasonable, over the years, since he ascended the throne, he has visited famous people all over the world and reduced talents without sticking to one pattern, but in fact, nine times out of ten he has been rejected.

For true hermits, earthly prosperity and splendor are precisely what they despise the most.

But, but, according to Colliers, the hermit was ecstatic to receive his reward like a treasure?!

Thinking of this, Li Longji was actually a little unhappy in his heart.

Is it another person who sells fame and reputation? Could it be that he took my gold and fled?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this strange man will definitely come, it may be that Chang'an Road is blocked and delayed time."

Colliers actually doesn't believe in such a bad excuse himself.

However, he couldn't tell the emperor that the yellow-mouthed boy wasn't coming, right?

If you can't do this little thing well, you will be reduced to a laughing stock in the court in the future, right?

Of course, he hoped that Yang Jian would come, and he had already privately sent the little eunuch to inquire about Yang Jian's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty, the Third Highness asks to see you!"

Just above the court, when everyone was full of suspicion and anxiety, a notice came from the door.

"Xuan!"

Li Longji is worried that everyone is bored, and the third prince asks to see him, no matter what, it is a good thing at the moment, at least it can kill everyone's boredom and boredom.

"Father, my son is late, and I hope my father will forgive me!"

Li Xiang entered the court hall and immediately knelt on the ground.

'What is wrong with the emperor that he needs his father's forgiveness?' ’

Li Longji was a little puzzled.

Look at the son who is kneeling on the ground.

"Father, the son went to the city gate today to greet the people that his father wanted to meet, but there was congestion along the way, which caused a delay in entering the palace, and asked his father to surrender!"

Li Xiang was lying on the ground, and there were 10,000 grass and mud horses roaring over in his heart, this little kid was really deadly, he was late, and he had to send him into the palace by himself!

I'm really going to find trouble for myself!

"Father, the emperor forgives you for your sin, and the emperor gets up quickly, but where is the strange man I want to see now?"

Li Longji listened to Li Xiang's words, but saw that there was no one else around him.

It's kind of weird.

"Back to my father, this friend of my son's son is outside the palace at the moment, waiting for my father to summon him!"

After Li Xiang finished saluting, he got up, and after speaking, he secretly glanced at the emperor again.

"Xuan!"

When Li Longji heard this, his heart was overjoyed.

It's been a long time coming!!

All the anxious waiting before was gone when he heard that the strange man had arrived at the scene.

He stared at the gate of the court hall with his eyes blank, staring at the appearance of the strange person he had been thinking about for a long time!
