Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

In front of the gate of the Liu family mansion, there are many princes who have truly become marquises, and the heirs and kings of the county are walking all over the place!

The completion of the academy means that enrollment will start soon.

Ever since the "closed doors" of the Hongwen Museum, there have been more and more playboys playing cats and dogs in Chang'an City every day.

These big shots have long been worried.

If these dandies are allowed to continue their mischief, they will cause disaster sooner or later.

If you send them to the academy, you will feel more relieved.

There are two great gods Wang Ji and Yu Shinan sitting in the town, no matter how high the status is, people yearn for them.

What's more, even His Majesty the Emperor will give lectures in person every month. If you can enter the academy, your future will be bright!

Guests came to visit one after another, Liu Bai had no choice but to cancel the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and asked Li Chengqian to lay the foundation stone for the academy on his behalf.

At this moment, there are three old guys sitting in the hall of the Liu family, namely Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County, and Chi Jingde, Duke of E!

The identities of these three people are too noble, although there are many people visiting Liu Bai at the same time, they can only stand outside the hall.

After drinking one cup after another of tea, the three old guys still remained silent.

Liu Bai even thought that the three of them came to drink tea.

"Three, Mr. Liu is involved in many things, if there is no important thing, I won't be with you!"

Everyone knows that these three old guys came here with the intention of sending their own children to the Royal Academy, but they are very thin-skinned, and no one is embarrassed to be the first to speak.

Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County, was the oldest and the most prestigious. After hearing Liu Bai's words, he coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"Young Master Liu must be aware of the reason for this king's visit. Now that the academy is completed, it's time to recruit students. However, my heirs cannot meet the requirements of the academy."

While speaking, his old face was slightly red.

The criteria for entering the Academy were set after discussions between Liu Bai, Wang Ji, and Yu Shinan.

Of course, the younger the better, and knowledge, you can't have no foundation at all.

At least, you must have read the Four Books and Five Classics.

Such conditions can only be regarded as slightly higher for poor students.

After all, most poor students cannot afford to read books.

But for the children of nobles, and even the children of the royal family, it is hardly a problem.

Even small officials of the sixth and seventh ranks know how to find Mr. Enlightenment for their children.

Familiar reading does not mean understanding. It will be placed in later generations, that is, the level of just learning pinyin.

And the children of these three old guys don't even have this foundation?

Liu Bai was not surprised at all.

This was the case with all the people who came to visit him.

Otherwise, just go directly to the academy to sign up, why bother?

Liu Bai was too lazy to use business means and negotiated with the three of them.

In the past few days, the same thing happened too many times, and it took away the last bit of his patience.

"[-] mu of fertile land around Chang'an, plus a registration fee of [-] guan!"

Liu Bai said bluntly.

The three were stunned.

Li Xiaogong said cautiously: "My lord has heard people say that five thousand acres of fertile land and one thousand guan registration fees can solve the problem."

Even if you are the king of the county, [-] mu of fertile land is not a small number, and it is still around Chang'an, Li Xiaogong's heart really hurts.

Li Daozong and Yuchi Jingde were the same, with bitter faces.

Liu Bai obviously wanted to cheat more because of their high status.

But they couldn't help it, who let Liu Bai completely control the enrollment of the academy?

Liu Bai rolled his eyes and said, "After entering the academy, not only will you not be charged any tuition fees, but you will also be provided with food and accommodation. This kind of treatment is unprecedented. If the adults don't want it, forget it!"

joke!

If the heirs of the three old guys are promising, not only will the academy not collect money, but they will rush to let them enroll.

But who let the heirs of the three old guys be ignorant?

Especially Yuchi Jingde, judging by his appearance, his son's IQ is probably not high.

I don't know if I can read or not.

How much effort would the academy spend on cultivating such a person?

The three of them also knew their situation, exchanged glances with each other, and wrote a letter of commitment in unison.

After finishing writing, the three of them sat for a while, trying to drink the tea without any taste, and then they left.

Liu Bai waved his hand weakly and said, "The next batch"

He suddenly discovered that earning money is also a pain.

If it wasn't for the task of 'million acres of fertile land', he would have left long ago!

Standing outside the door were two fourth-rank officials.

As soon as they entered the door, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Master Liu is well"

The two were about to have a long talk, but Liu Bai directly interrupted their words with a wave of his hand.

"Thirty thousand acres of fertile land, ten thousand guan enrollment fees"

He felt that he was like a ticket seller now, and he had no fun at all.

Sending off group after group of people, the promise letters in Liu Bai's hands have accumulated a thick stack.

Finally, there was no one outside the door. When Liu Bai was about to 'call it a day', Wynn Shiran walked in, bringing a child who was about the same age as Li Chengqian.

It turned out to be Li Ke!

Huai En cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Master Liu, it's been a long time!"

Liu Bai and Huai En had known each other for a long time, and they saluted casually, and asked in surprise, "His Royal Highness King Wu also intends to enter the academy?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty ordered King Wu to study in the academy, and I would like to ask Mr. Liu to make it easier for you!"

Li Er couldn't help but give Li Er face, so Liu Bai didn't mention asking for money.

It was Li Ke's attitude that surprised him.

From the moment he entered the door, Li Ke hid behind Wynn, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, with fear all over his face, as if Liu Bai was a scourge.

Chapter 154: In the Liu family, his status as prince is worthless

After sending Wynn away, only Liu Bai and Li Ke were left in the hall.

Li Ke was sitting on the chair, his two short legs were dangling, it was really cute.

It has to be said that Li Ke was Liu Bai who came to the Tang Dynasty and saw the best-looking child. One can imagine how handsome he will be when he grows up.

If you didn't pay attention, you might think it was a little girl.

But Liu Bai knew that this child was not a cheap lamp!

Although most of Li Er's children are crooked melons and cracked dates, Li Ke is among the most inefficient!

Not because of his stubbornness, but because of his identity!

Wu Wangke is from the Yang family in the harem, and the Yang family is the biological daughter of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang!

In other words, Li Ke carries the blood of the Sui and Tang Dynasties royal family!

In today's court, there are not many old officials left over from the former Sui Dynasty.

These people are born with a sense of closeness to Li Ke.

It was because of their support that although Li Ke had a sensitive identity, he became the one among the princes who was second only to the crown prince and the king of Yue, Li Tai.

Perhaps, even Li Er is worried about how to arrange Li Ke in the future.

Ordinary princes will go to the fief after they grow up, but with Li Ke's identity, after going to the fief, maybe they will be used by people with ulterior motives to make troubles!

Staying in the palace, immersed in intrigue all day long, can't learn anything useful at all.

Li Chengqian's changes made Li Er see some hope.

He couldn't bother Liu Bai anymore, so he planned to send Li Ke to the academy.

Whether it's Wang Ji, Yu Shinan, or Liu Bai, Li Ke can't afford to provoke them.

If Li Ke made a mistake, others wouldn't dare to move, but these three didn't have to worry about it, and just beat him up, it's no big deal.

Liu Bai held his chin and looked at Li Ke with a smile.

I understand in my heart that the reason why this little guy is afraid is because he knows that his life will not be easy.

"His Royal Highness Wu"

The name Liu Bai immediately made Li Ke nervous, and he showed a flattering expression, "Brother Liu, just call me Li Ke!"

He has a good relationship with Li Chengqian, and he can often learn about Liu Bai's frightening things from Li Chengqian.

Liu Bai's smile became wider.

"You'll be staying at home these few days. After school starts, I'll send you to the academy. Cheng Qian will come back in the afternoon, and let him teach you the rules."

Li Ke nodded quickly.

He was so naive that he didn't know what the 'rules' Liu Bai was talking about.

In the afternoon, Li Chengqian came back.

Having lived in the Eastern Palace for half a month, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Although in the East Palace, everyone was flattering him and there was no restraint, but he still felt that something was missing.

In the morning, on behalf of Liu Bai, he went to Baqiao to preside over the completion ceremony of the academy, and he rushed back immediately.

As soon as he entered the door, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

There was no one in the front yard, and even the servants and maids ran off to nowhere.

After asking the concierge, I found out that it turned out that Liu Bai thought it was too much trouble for all kinds of messy people to visit, so he took Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er to the county.

Not only to hide from the quiet, but also to check the accounts by the way.

He was alone, wandering into the backyard, feeling comfortable all over.

In the East Palace, hundreds of people took turns to wait on them, and they were always followed when going to the toilet.

But when he arrived at Liu's house, he was no different from ordinary people, and it was normal for him to talk nonsense with servants and maids.

Passing through the rockery in the backyard, he immediately saw Li Shizhen who was sweeping the floor in front of the medicine house.

Li Chengqian's face was filled with a smile, he ran up and took the broom from Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen thumped his waist and said with a smile, "You're back?"

"It's really boring in the East Palace, but it's better to be at home." Li Chengqian said while sweeping.

Li Shizhen watched him sweep the floor with a smile, and said, "Home is home after all, so don't run to that smoky palace if you have nothing to do. Good children are spoiled!"

Hearing that Li Chengqian seemed to mean something else.

Following Li Shizhen's gaze, he saw Li Ke playing around in the back garden at a glance!

"Li Ke!!"

Li Chengqian shouted immediately.

Li Ke looked back and was very happy.

"Brother Emperor!"

He trotted to Li Chengqian.
