After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

The four of them walked to the side hall of Shangwen Hall.

However, the hall where the scholar should have been on duty was now empty.

Chu Dequan, who was originally planning to put the man down and go back to report, had to call the young eunuch next to him to inquire about the situation.

"What happened? Where are all the people?"

Chu Dequan waved his hand and told a young eunuch behind him to go to the main hall and take a look.

"Reporting to Master Chu, Grand Tutor Han suddenly fainted, and several scholars have followed the eunuchs to the Imperial Hospital." The young eunuch answered tremblingly.

This is the senior eunuch beside His Majesty. If he gives a bad answer and it gets to His Majesty, all the people on duty in the Shangwen Hall will be in trouble.

"What about Grand Tutor Sun, Grand Tutor Liu, and Grand Tutor Zhao?"

Chu Dequan frowned, but he couldn't be alone.

There should be at least two Taifus in charge of the Shangwen Hall. If one falls, there is always another one.

"Grand Tutor Sun has gone to Juxian Academy to preside over the entrance examination. Grand Tutor Liu is on leave today, and Grand Tutor Zhao submitted a memorial a few days ago to return home to observe mourning."

The young eunuch explained the whereabouts of several tutors in one go.

He caught a glimpse of Chu Dequan's increasingly gloomy expression, and was immediately frightened, his face turning pale and cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

It just so happened that there was really no one who could make the decision.

Chu Dequan was choked and speechless. It was really a coincidence that it happened today.

He knew about Master Zhao's affairs, otherwise the emperor would not have arranged these three people here first.

Tutor Han is old and about to retire, Tutor Zhao will not be back for more than two years, and Tutor Sun only teaches specific subjects.

Your Majesty is waiting for this imperial examination to recruit new personnel. The prince's teaching is related to the future of the country.

"Who is in charge of the prince now?"

Chu Dequan couldn't care about anything else and now just hoped that there was no problem with the prince.

Otherwise, everyone will suffer the consequences.

Having followed His Majesty for so many years, Chu Dequan certainly knew how much His Majesty valued the little prince left by the late emperor.

Otherwise, he would not have been made the crown prince as soon as he gained power.

Now that such a big thing has happened to the prince, and no one has reported it, he has no idea how furious His Majesty will be.

"The incident happened suddenly and the situation was urgent, so the Crown Prince ordered all the scholars to accompany him to the Imperial Hospital.

I have already sent my personal eunuch to report this to His Majesty, and I am currently reading with the students and their companions."

The young eunuch's voice became smaller and smaller in response.

In fact, everyone had thought about letting the bachelors give lectures first, but several bachelors were frightened when they heard it, and no one dared to agree.

But it is also understandable that they are all students taught by the tutors.

I haven't even become a master myself, so how dare I teach others? What's more, those people are of high status and I can't afford to offend them.

The prince did not make things difficult for them when he saw this. These people were afraid of being held responsible if they stayed, so they all rushed to the Imperial Hospital.

“My three lords, as you all know, His Majesty intends for you to teach the Crown Prince.

Now that we have this opportunity, why not have one of you take over the role of Master temporarily?"

Chu Dequan turned around and gave the three of them a suggestion with a smile.

Although it sounded like he was discussing with them, his attitude and tone made it seem like he was threatening them, and someone had to take the blame no matter what.

Chu Dequan also felt that he was really unlucky. He just happened to run into it with just such a time difference.

If he doesn't settle the matter, he will also be criticized.

This is just perfect! These three are the top three in this year's exam, so their knowledge must be excellent.

Moreover, he was originally here to teach the prince, but he just moved the time forward a little.

Pei Xiangzhi and Feng Heng felt like they were struck by lightning and their vision went dark.

It is good that the emperor asked them to teach, and they are confident that they can be qualified for this position.

However, no one would just go in without any preparation.

Moreover, today's experience was richer than their previous twenty years, with all kinds of information and ideas piled up together, making it overwhelming.

Their brains are a mess now. Not to mention teaching, I don’t even know if they can remember the content even if I ask them to memorize it.

Especially Feng Heng, he was still worried about the position of Grand Historian, but he didn't dare to gamble with his future.

Teaching the prince is another bright path. Although the little prince is the nephew of the current emperor, he is the only child of the late emperor.

As long as Your Majesty has no children, you will be the biggest winner in the future.

Even if the emperor has his own children, he will not treat the orphans of the previous emperor badly.

So he wanted to seize this opportunity, but today he was asked to teach.

There was no certainty at all, so how could he dare to go forward rashly?

"I'll go." Qi Mingze looked at the people who were in a dilemma and agreed with a smile.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief as if they had found a savior.

Pei Xiangzhi, in particular, couldn't help but look at Qi Mingze with gratitude.

If no one agrees, it will definitely fall on him, because he is the top scorer.

"Well, Xiao Guzi, take Lord Qi to the main hall." Chu Dequan didn't make things difficult when he saw someone stand up.

His Majesty will surely be here soon. Let’s deal with this situation first and then deal with it.

"Yes." The young eunuch behind Chu De responded and turned to make a respectful gesture to Qi Mingze.

"Master Qi, please follow me."

[Host, you really have to go! ]

The system is worried because it knows that the host is powerful.

But his host is a science student. Does he have to teach elementary school mathematics?

[It's okay, I'm familiar with teaching children.]

【Besides, it would be a shame not to seize such a godsend opportunity. 】

Qi Mingze winked at the system, looking confident.

[Okay, okay.] The system didn't understand, it just felt like the motherboard was burning.

It was almost mesmerized by this cute and playful face, and the only thing in its mind was, "I just want to teach a lesson, let's make arrangements!"

At this moment, the system truly understood the feelings of those foolish rulers who set fire to the country to win the smile of a beautiful woman.

Such a lovely person, I would give my life to him.

"My Lords, I will go and report to His Majesty first."

Seeing that the matter was temporarily resolved, Chu Dequan thought about returning to report to the emperor.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

"Little?" Chu Dequan paused. Uh, he didn't know this little eunuch in Shangwen Palace.

"Your servant is Xiao Guizi." The young eunuch immediately responded with great tact.

"Xiao Guizi, please look after the two adults first."

"promise."

After making the arrangements, Chu Dequan hurriedly left with his large army.

As soon as Chu Dequan left, Feng Heng leaned on the table and collapsed on the chair next to him.

Pei Xiangzhi wasn't much better, he just sat a little straighter than Feng Heng.

"I will serve tea to the two masters."

The young eunuch cleverly found an excuse and left space for the two of them.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Master Pei."

Feng Heng recovered his breath and bowed to Pei Xiangzhi with a little embarrassment.

"Same here." Pei Xiangzhi returned the greeting. They were both the same, so no one should laugh at each other.

On this side, Chu Dequan had just walked out of the palace gate and took a few steps when he saw the imperial carriage heading towards the Shangwen Palace.

Also accompanying them was the eldest princess's son, Huo Le'an, your Majesty's cousin and good friend.

Chu Dequan was overwhelmed. How could this little ancestor, who was only afraid of chaos in the world, have time to enter the palace?

He will go to worship the Buddha after the shift today. It seems that all these things are happening at the same time.

This is really unbearable. I don’t know which god I have offended.

"Greetings to His Majesty, and to the Prince of Anguo."

"What's the situation now?" Jun Linyuan rushed over immediately after hearing that something happened here.

It just so happened that Huo Le'an invited him to participate in a poetry competition to be held by the Imperial College three days later, so he went along.

Since the young eunuch who came to report was not aware of the specific situation, Jun Linyuan came over to handle it personally.

He was just about to hold everyone accountable, but then he listened to Chu Dequan's report.

He was not in a hurry to ask for accountability, but walked into the room next to the main hall.

Seeing this, Huo Le'an raised his eyebrows with interest and found a chair to sit down.
