"Alright ~! You guys must be here today to visit Yanhuang College, right ~? Go, go ~! I won't keep you guys here ~! "
After greeting Li Gang, Yan Silu, and beating Mo Huai, Li Er had achieved his goal. He smiled and said to everyone.
Li Zexuan couldn't help but feel elated. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that Old Li didn't find trouble with him. Thus, he cupped his hands together with Li Gang and the others and left. However, he heard a gentle female voice coming from inside the room. "Li Zexuan, you stay. I have something to tell you ~!"
Li Zexuan's face darkened, and he stopped in his tracks. Li Gang threw him a helpless look and left with Yan Silu and Mo Huai!
"What orders does Your Majesty have?"
Li Zexuan turned around and cupped his hands to Empress Zhangsun.
The person who just asked him to stay was Empress Zhangsun.
Li Er also looked at Empress Zhangsun curiously at this moment. It seemed that he also didn't know what Zhangsun wanted to tell Li Zexuan.
Zhangsun stood up from the sofa beside Li Er, then waved to the side and said, "Ke 'er, come here ~!"
"Yes, Mother ~!"
Li Zexuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy who looked 70% similar to Li Er. He was simply a miniature version of Li Er. When the little boy heard Zhangsun calling him, he quickly responded and walked over.
"Greetings, Your Highness ~!"
Li Zexuan was helpless. Although he didn't know why Empress Zhangsun did this, he couldn't pretend that he didn't see Li Ke standing in front of him, right? So he could only salute. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, Isn't this Li Ke the son of Concubine Yang? Why is he so close to Zhangsun ~?
(Li Ke, third year and sixth month of Wude, was conferred the title of Prince of Changsha; eighth year of Wude, was conferred the title of Prince of Hanzhong. In the first year of Zhenguan, he was conferred the title of Prince of Hanzhong. In the second year of Zhenguan, he was conferred the title of Prince of Shu and was conferred the title of Governor of Yizhou. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, he was conferred the title of King of Wu and was given the title of Governor of An Province.
What was slightly gratifying was that Li Ke was not the kind of arrogant prince with his nose in the air. When he saw Li Zexuan salute him, he also hurriedly bowed in return and said, "It should be Li Ke greeting Sir. Sir is a talent that transcends the heavens and earth. Li Ke has long admired you ~!"
As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling face. Li Zexuan smiled modestly and said, "Your Highness is too kind ~!"
At this time, Empress Zhangsun patted Li Zexuan's shoulder, then looked at Li Zexuan and said, "Mr. Li, I told you before that I would give you a few students. Do you remember?"
Li Ke, who was next to Empress Zhangsun, had a hint of excitement on his face. Li Zexuan's eyes flashed. Could it be that Zhangsun wanted to send Li Ke to Yanhuang College?
Of Li Er's fourteen sons, the most outstanding one was not the intelligent and quick-witted eldest son Li Chengqian, the fourth son Li Tai, who had outstanding literary talent and could write well. It was also not the brave and brave eighth son Li Zhen or the honest and honest tenth son Li Shen. Of course, it was definitely not the cowardly ninth son Li Zhi, but rather the third son Li Ke.
Not only was Li Ke proficient in horseback archery, but he was also well-versed in literature and history. His reputation was also high, and he was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. His reputation was very high, so Li Er had praised Li Ke more than once in front of all the officials that he was "like me."
However, it was also this "Li Ke is similar to me" that led to Li Ke's final tragedy ~!
Now, Zhangsun wanted to send Li Ke to Yanhuang College. Could it be that she wanted Li Ke to leave the center of the power struggle? If that was really the case, then Empress Zhangsun's move was really clever ~!
However, Li Zexuan did not like to be someone else's chess piece, even if that person was Empress Zhangsun. Thus, he said seriously, "I remember ~! Could it be that Your Majesty wants to send His Highness the King of Han to the college ~? "
Empress Zhangsun nodded and said, "That's right ~! Does Li Xiannan agree ~? "
Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is Your Majesty's order, how can I not agree ~? However, I want to know if His Highness the King of Han really likes engineering ~? "
Zhangsun was a very clever person. She raised her eyebrows and said somewhat angrily, "What do you mean ~? Do you think that because Ke 'er doesn't like engineering, I will force him to go to Yanhuang College ~? "
Li Zexuan was joking with Changle and Li Tai on the side and did not pay attention to what was going on. At this time, when he heard Zhangsun's angry words, he could not help but turn his head and stare unkindly at Li Zexuan.
"Sister, don't be angry ~! Li Xiannan, don't misunderstand the Empress ~! "
Just as Li Zexuan was feeling pressured, a voice as gentle as water came from the side. Then, he saw a woman with a slightly plump figure, exuding a graceful and seductive aura, walking over.
"Li Xiannan, Ke 'er was born and raised by me. How can I, as his mother, not know what this child likes and dislikes ~? Previously, I wanted to ask Sister Empress to help me and let you accept Ke 'er as a student, but I did not expect that it would cause a misunderstanding. This is my fault, I hope Sister Empress and Li Xiannan will not take it to heart ~! "
After such a commotion, Li Ke, who was still a little confused, seemed to have understood something at this time. He looked at Li Zexuan with an inexplicable look in his eyes. After Yang Fei finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said,
"Sir, Ke's yearning for engineering is absolutely sincere, there is not a bit of falsehood ~!"
Li Zexuan felt a little better. Just as he was about to speak, Li Er's dissatisfied voice came from the side. "What ~? Is my son not worthy of entering your Yanhuang College ~? "
Li Zexuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, I didn't say anything. It was all your husband and wife's blind guesses. How can you blame me for this ~?
"Your Majesty, this subject has never said that I would not let the King of Han enter Yanhuang College ~!"
Li Zexuan turned around gloomily and cupped his hands. "This subject only wanted to confirm the King of Han's interest, there is no other meaning ~! Yanhuang College also welcomes His Highness the King of Han ~! On September 20th, Your Highness can directly report to the college ~! "
Since Li Ke voluntarily left the palace to study, and it was Li Er's two wives who begged him, Li Zexuan naturally had to open the back door for Li Ke ~!
"Mm ~!"
Li Er nodded and no longer paid attention to this side.
However, Li Ke asked, "Sir, doesn't the college start on September 18th ~? Why did you let Ke go on September 20th ~? "
Li Zexuan smiled and explained, "September 18th is the entrance exam for Yanhuang College. Since the King of Han was personally entrusted to this subject by the Empress, he naturally does not need to participate in this exam ~!"
The reason why he opened this back door was not only to give face to Empress Zhangsun, but more importantly, when he thought that this clever child in front of him would be framed to death by Zhangsun Wuji in the future, he could not help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. Perhaps putting Li Ke in Yanhuang College could be considered a form of protection for this child ~!
This was originally just a normal process of going through the back door. Unexpectedly, when Li Ke heard this, it was as if he had been greatly insulted. He stubbornly raised his small face and said,
"No ~! Sir ~! The rules cannot be broken. Previously, Ke did not know that there was an entrance exam. Now that I know, Ke must participate in this exam. If Ke does not pass, Ke will not talk about going to Yanhuang College ~! "
Li Zexuan's face suddenly darkened. He really did want to curse Li Ke, but he did not know if he should say it ~!
