The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 286

Su Shichang nodded upon hearing this.

The Hanlin Academy typically does these things: in addition to attending court and compiling the opinions of ministers, they also revise national history and policies. The workload is enormous.

Over the years, those who achieved the highest rank in the imperial examinations have either been captured by those who passed the exams or promoted to other departments by powerful families and officials. In recent years, the Hanlin Academy has been severely lacking in talent.

Seeing that Lu Mingyi was becoming more and more satisfied, Su Shichang nodded and said, "From now on, you can organize the books here. Your lessons will be taught separately by the teacher, so you don't need to attend classes anymore."

Lu Mingyi was also surprised that he didn't have to go to class. A light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Then I will organize my books here."

The next day, Su Shichang found Xu Tian and expressed his concerns. After all, Xu Tian had opened a school here, and he had decided not to let Lu Mingyi attend the classes. Unexpectedly, Xu Tian nodded in agreement.

"I agree."

Su Shichang wanted to say a few more words, but unexpectedly, Master Xu agreed immediately.

Confucius said that teaching should be tailored to individual students. Since Lu Mingyi likes collecting and organizing books, then let him stay in the library.

Su Shichang nodded immediately. Master Xu was indeed a man of great vision. He hadn't expected that he had already determined Lu Mingyi's path in life since childhood.

Xu Tian nodded and said, "Isn't the purpose of learning to be polite, understand human relationships, and serve the people as an official in the future? Since the Hanlin Academy is now suffering from a shortage of talent, then these will be your future subordinates, and also outstanding talents of my Hongwen Academy."

Su Shichang immediately knelt down: "This humble official thanks Your Highness Rui."

Upon hearing the title "Prince Rui," Xu Tian was taken aback, then reached out and helped Su Shizhang up.

"No need for that. Just call me Master Xu at the academy."

Su Shichang nodded, then turned to look at the library beside him, a look of affection flashing in his eyes.

"I believe Lu Mingyi will not disappoint Master Xu. Ordinary people would find sorting these book vouchers tedious and boring, but Lu Mingyi, this student, not only doesn't find it boring, but is becoming more and more interested, immersing himself in the sea of ​​books and unable to extricate himself."

Xu Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll head back to Tingxuexuan first."

"Master Su, please do as you please." Su Shichang nodded as he spoke.

That evening, after the steward had dinner served, he stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

While eating his iced porridge, Xu Tian said, "Well, do you have something to say to me?"

The butler nodded immediately.

"Didn't you like either of those two ladies from the Yuan family before? Even if you marry them into the household, Your Highness won't have to cook for yourself."

"Butler, are you possessed?"

The butler shook his head and pointed at Xu Tian, ​​saying, "Master has lost a lot of weight these days."
