Chapter 113 Li Er who joins in the fun

Just as everyone was getting up and about to go to the yard, familiar voices came from the Du Mansion.

"The emperor is here." Liu Bing's voice came to everyone's ears. Everyone's first reaction was to sort out their clothes.

When Liu Bing finished calling, Li Er made a gesture and entered the hall. Zhang Nan once suspected that Li Er stood outside the door every time. When Liu Bing finished calling, he showed up. Seeing Li Er coming, everyone rushed forward to salute Li Er.

Li Er looked at the court officials in the hall, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be too polite. Today I am not wearing court uniforms, nor are I going to court, so I don't have to be so restricted."

After saying that, he looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Keming, you are so lucky. Even the teacher I invited took the lead." As soon as Li Er said this, the whole hall was shocked. Zhang Nan was not much older than the prince Li Chengqian, and he could be attracted by Li Er to be Li Chengqian's teacher. This is paving the way for Li Chengqian to be the next generation of monarch and ministers.

"This... I really don't know, please forgive me." Du Ruhui was shocked after hearing this and said quickly.

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. Moreover, as the crown prince, Chengqian, how could he be like a subordinate of a certain scholar? I just asked Qingquan to tell Chengqian what he had learned before, there was no need to do so." Li Er said with a smile.

Du Ruhui was relieved when he heard Li Er say this. If he stole the teacher prepared by the emperor for Li Chengqian, although the emperor would not say anything, he would always feel strange in his heart.

"Qingquan, you have to teach Qinglian well. I also pointed out that the Tang Dynasty can have more talents like you and serve my Tang Dynasty." Li Er turned around and looked at Zhang Nan and said.

Usually, Zhang Nan might even say a few words to Li Erniu, but now it is a formal occasion and today it is not his home court. Zhang Nan had to say in a decent manner: "I am willing to devote my whole life to the Tang Dynasty and die until I die."

When Li Er heard that Zhang Nan did not say anything beautiful to him, he nodded with satisfaction, turned to Du He and gave Du He a lecture. After Du He gave Li Er a gift, he stood aside and quietly watched the king of the country. Now the king of the country was about to give him a lecture. Du He was so excited that he seemed to have committed epilepsy, and his whole body was shaking.

"Qinglian, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Er stood in front of Du He and said, "I looked like an elder."

"The people of the grass...the people of the grass, see the emperor." Du He quickly saluted Li Er.

"Hey, there is no need to be too polite, didn't I say it?" Li Er said. Du He quickly stood up straight when he heard Li Er say this, waiting for Li Er's speech.

"Qingquan is a talented person. You have to follow Qingquan and study hard. Although Qingquan is about the same age as you, it is a bit unreliable to do things occasionally." Li Er paused when he said this.

When Zhang Nan rolled his eyes in his heart when he heard Li Er say he was unreliable, he said to himself: "When did I not be reliable? Nothing that promised was done? Not long ago, I solved a hidden danger for you. Why is it unreliable? You always robbed my things, and I think you are not reliable."

Of course, Zhang Nan still showed a look of "The Emperor is right, the Emperor is right, I am indeed a little unreliable" on his face to cooperate with Li Er.

"Although Qingquan is not very reliable sometimes, I will not deny his talent." Li Er said.

When Zhang Nan heard Li Er praising him, he smiled slightly without making too many expressions, even though he was already happy.

"Qinglian, I will give you a guarantee today. If you can successfully get out of Qingquan, no matter what kind of skills you have learned from Qingquan, I will promise you that you will be given a suitable official position in the future." As soon as Li Er said this, Du He was stunned on the spot.

I used to want to do something more, but I was always unsuccessful. But today, the king of the Tang Dynasty actually gave me a guarantee in front of me that I could get what I wanted. And on such an important day in my life, the king of the Tang Dynasty came to watch the ceremony. How did this make Du He unhappy and forget to thank Li Er for his kindness? All of this was given to him by the master who had not yet worshipped. Although this master was about the same age as me, Du He really put Zhang Nan in the position that his master should have.

Du Ruhui stood aside and saw Du He looking dumb and stupid, and quickly said, "What are you thinking? Thank you, the emperor."

Du He asked his father to remind him, and then he realized that he quickly saluted Li Er and said, "Thank you the emperor for your kindness."

Li Er nodded with satisfaction when he heard Du He say this.

"Okay, everyone, I'm here to watch the ceremony today, so don't be so restricted. I'm still the King of Qin back then. When I was the King of Qin back then, you were not so restricted." After saying that, Li Erbian laughed.

Everyone laughed with Li Er, while Zhang Nan thought to himself: "Just kidding, when you were the King of Qin, you said you were the emperor, which was rude. Of course, everyone could accompany you to say that you are the Lord of Nine Five, and you said you are the King of Qin. Everyone wanted to treat you as the King of Qin, which is a matter of losing your head."

"Okay, okay, you'll better go to the courtyard to watch the ceremony." After laughing, Li Er waved his hands at the ministers, and walked out the door, while everyone followed Li Er's footsteps step by step.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Nan stood at the designated position under the guidance of Du Ruhui, while Li Er took a group of court officials to sit in, waiting to watch Zhang Nan's performance.

On the small table next to Zhang Nan, there are six ritual bunches, which are six gifts given to the master by the disciples during the ancient ceremony of worshipping the teacher, namely, jerky meat, bitter celery, lotus seeds, red dates, longan, and red beans. Zhang Nan knew that each of these six things had their own meanings, but Zhang Nan didn't know what it was.

Du Ruhui stood in the middle, cleared his throat and said, "Disciple is offering six rituals."

When Du He heard Du Ruhui's instructions, he quickly gave Zhang Nan six things on the case to him. Zhang Nan sent someone to put them away. In fact, this was a formality, not to let Zhang Nan put them in his arms.

"Six rituals are completed, and the disciples serve tea." Du Ruhui continued. However, this time the tea is no longer the tea fried by Zhang Nan, but the original method of drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty, that is, tea with green onion, ginger, garlic and goat milk.

Du He brought the tea with both hands, walked to Zhang Nan, raised his head high, and gave it to Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan quickly took it with both hands and held it up to show his respect. Then he looked at the tea with milk stains inside, and his throat slid up and down. He really didn't want to drink this, but Li Er and everyone looked at him not far away. Zhang Nan had to close his eyes, make a move, and suffocate the bowl of "milk tea" and drank it.
