Chapter 135 Li Jie, the Master Architect of the Northern Song Dynasty

Emperor Zhao Zhen had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and his grief had not yet subsided. Now, faced with this coup attempt, he felt his blood surging and nearly vomited blood. He stood up in a rage, his hands trembling as he pointed at the assembled officials and shouted, "My mind is made up! This matter is not to be discussed again! Court adjourned!" With that, he turned and stormed off.

However, at that moment, the minister who had first offered his advice persisted, quickly stepping forward to grab Zhao Zhen's sleeve and pleading again, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!" Seeing this, Zhao Zhen was even more furious. He abruptly flicked his sleeve, forcefully pushing the minister several steps away. Then, without looking back, he strode out of the court, leaving the assembled ministers looking at each other in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, at the Sheng family's private school, Scholar Zhuang was diligently teaching the children of the Sheng family and some other powerful families in the capital to read and write. Wang Ruofu also came to the private school today, and when she saw Qi Heng, the young master of the Qi State Duke's Mansion, a look of joy appeared on her face.

Wang Ruofu had always hoped that her son, Sheng Changbai, would cultivate relationships with powerful and influential people to lay a solid foundation for his future career. Seeing Qi Heng's personal visit to the private school today, she was naturally overjoyed for Sheng Changbai. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly pray that the two could get along well and become close friends.

It was rumored that Gu Tingye, the second son of the Gu family, had originally intended to study at this private school. However, things didn't go as planned, and he ultimately chose to pursue further studies at Bailudong Academy. Upon learning this, Wang Ruofu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and regretful. After all, if Gu Tingye had studied here, perhaps her child could have formed a friendship with him. However, this regret didn't linger in Wang Ruofu's heart for long, because she quickly thought that getting to know the young master of the Qi State Duke's mansion wouldn't be a bad thing!

On the other hand, Sheng Hong opposed Minglan's decision to attend school. He tried to prevent her from entering the academy, arguing that Minglan was too young and lacked maturity. However, Old Madam Sheng was extremely adamant about Minglan's education, remaining unmoved by Sheng Hong's eloquent persuasion. In the end, Sheng Hong could not persuade Old Madam Sheng and had no choice but to reluctantly agree. Thus, Minglan was able to smoothly enter the private school.

Sunlight streamed into the tranquil courtyard of the Jin residence, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves. In this peaceful afternoon, after lunch, the Jin family had enjoyed a leisurely nap. When he awoke, he was refreshed and invigorated.

However, before he could fully wake up, a quick-witted servant rushed in to report that Lord Li Jie of the Imperial Workshop was already waiting in the main hall. Upon hearing this news, Jin Shuai was overjoyed and quickly jumped out of bed to straighten his clothes.

Immediately afterward, he rushed into the room, picked up the precious blueprints that had been prepared beforehand on the table, and then walked with hurried yet steady steps toward the main hall. Along the way, he silently pondered the various opportunities for cooperation and challenges that this meeting with Li Jie might bring.

Before long, Jin Shuai arrived at the spacious and bright main hall. There stood the renowned Song Dynasty architect, Li Jie, his posture upright like a pine tree, exuding an extraordinary refined elegance. Upon seeing Jin Shuai enter, Li Jie immediately stepped forward, respectfully bowed deeply, and said, "Li Jie of the Directorate of Works greets Your Excellency. His Majesty specifically instructed me to obey Your Excellency's orders on this occasion."
