The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 238

We only recruited one hundred people from various places, and we already missed a day a few days ago, as most of them went to Moxuan Academy.

"Now, Moxuan Academy is almost full of students, while we've only admitted one hundred."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let Moxuan Academy go."

Let's talk about Moxuan Academy.

Dean Wei asked, "Did he really go to Lord Wei's residence?"

The servant next to him nodded: "We've been monitoring the Xu residence these past few days. I saw him go to Lord Wei Zheng's residence with my own eyes, but he was quickly kicked out. Since then, the gates of the Wei residence have been tightly closed."

Wei Quan sneered, "It's tough on him."

The servant nodded: "It was the dean's brilliant idea; otherwise, we probably wouldn't have enough students right now."

"The current headmaster of this academy has no intention of relying on Lord Wei at all."

The servant said with a smile, "Of course, it's just that Xu Tian is such a roadblock. Otherwise, our academy would definitely have made a name for itself and could have rivaled the White Deer Academy of yesteryear."

Dean Wei was once a student of Changsun Wuji, but he was ranked at the bottom and failed the imperial examinations repeatedly. So Changsun Wuji asked him to open his own academy, which can be considered as recognizing and appointing talent.

"Didn't Xu Tian recruit a hundred people? I, the dean, will have these nearly a hundred students come to study at my Moxuan Academy."

These hundred students have already gone to Hongwen Academy. Do you think you can just snatch them away?

Dean Wei clearly saw through the servant's thoughts and said, "Come here and whisper in my ear, I have a brilliant plan." The servant's eyes narrowed with a smile: "As expected, the Dean has a way."

These days, Xu Tian has been staying at the Grand Tutor's mansion, not leaving the house, preparing materials for his lessons. He has already compiled dozens of short stories from the "Thousand Character Classic" and the "Three Character Classic," and he plans to vividly explain these stories in class.

Just then, the butler came over and said, "Master, someone from Moxuan Academy has arrived."

Seeing the steward's dilemma, Xu Tian stood up and walked out, where he saw a female teacher from Moxuan Academy.

The female master immediately smiled and said, "Grand Tutor Xu."

Xu Tian smiled slightly and said, "Now that I have opened Hongwen Academy, although it is not as good as Moxuan Academy, you can call me Master Xu, and I will also call you Master."

The female teacher was startled at first, then nodded slightly and said, "I am Dongfang Tingyun, a female teacher of etiquette at Moxuan Academy. I see that Your Highness is very imposing and there are a constant stream of students coming to learn from you."

Moxuan Academy specially sent me here to study; surely the teacher won't kick me out?

The woman spoke with great humor. Xu Tian simply shook his head slightly. In modern times, there are far too many cases of people exchanging knowledge with each other.

He didn't take it to heart at all. Seeing Xu Tian's serene and unconcerned demeanor, and her complete disregard for her true purpose in coming here, Dongfang Tingyun felt relieved and developed a slightly better impression of Xu Tian.
