The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 540

On the one hand, Li Er felt that it was a good thing to cultivate talents for the country.

The imperial edict directly instructed Xu Tian to agree to this matter.

Since His Majesty has already said so, even if Xu Tian is unwilling a hundred thousand times, he still has to agree.

After all, it is difficult to disobey an imperial decree.

In addition, he was also aware of Lie Li's thoughts.

However, even if he agrees to take on apprentices, he still needs to gain experience.

If Lu Yanxi doesn't pass the test, he can still put him in the academy.

Let him study at the academy for a while first.

The prime minister has now reported back to his side.

However, this matter requires careful consideration.

After all, the prime minister is there; he's not just a figurehead.

Xu Tian felt he had to come up with a perfect solution.

This matter is also giving him quite a headache.

He summoned Yu Shu.

Let him read in the study first.

Then I made him memorize all the books he had read.

He said, "If you can read all these books and memorize them, I will teach you the basics of polo today."

In all these days, he hasn't taught him anything.

He was simply made to read and memorize texts constantly.

Yu Shu didn't mention polo at all and focused on his studies.

He glanced at the books laid out on the desk.

There are only about ten books in total.

But after looking through them, he said with a smile, "Master, I have already read all these books and I can recite them for you right away."

After saying that, he began to recite all the books on the book.

It hadn't even been half an hour.

Yu Shu had already memorized all the books on the desk.

Xu Tian kept praising the child in his heart.

The surface didn't get wet either.

"You really do have a photographic memory, hmm, not bad. Let me get ready, then we can head to the polo field."

Actually, he also wanted to relax.

All the official documents have been approved today.

He wanted to relax at the polo field.

Only on the field where you're sweating buckets can you temporarily forget your troubles.

Yu Shu was naturally more excited than anyone else.

He was finally able to gain his master's approval.

Finally, I can touch polo.

Once they arrived at the competition venue, Xu Tian asked Yu Shu, "Can you ride a horse?"

Yu Shu nodded.

"I've ridden before, but my horsemanship isn't very good."

Xu Tian nodded, "It's okay, skills are developed through practice."

Then I saw a big one and a small one training on the field.

Yu Shu was not only a scholar, but also exceptionally gifted.

Even when it comes to playing polo, he can learn it very well after just one try.

He is a very ambitious child.

Xu Tian felt that the child was becoming more and more likable.

They teach with great care.

"Master, how's this movement?"

After completing each movement, Yu Shu would ask Xu Tian a question.

Xu Tian nodded, "Yes, very well done."

After receiving praise from Xu Tian, ​​Yu Shu would study even more diligently, without becoming arrogant at all.

"At your speed, you might be able to train to be about the same level as me in less than a month."

Xu Tian said proudly.
