Changsun Wuji and the others dared to sympathize with Wei Zheng, but none dared to ridicule Emperor Li. Changsun Wuji even smiled and urged Emperor Li to let Li Yuanying enter: "What kind of appearance is this? It's as if someone is clamoring outside, who knows, they might even report you to the court for having a scandalous affair." Emperor Li, his face dark, ordered for Li Yuanying to be brought in. As Li Yuanying entered, he saw Wei Zheng and the others present. He scurried over to Wei Zheng and sat…-

Fang Xuanling pinched his nose and looked down. He had to wade through endless flattery before finally reaching the idea that Emperor Li had mentioned. Li Yuanying waved his hand grandly, marking off a large expanse of land as a "learning field". In his letter, Li Yuanying explained that he modeled this "learning field" after the Buddhist "福田" (福田, literally "field of merit") found in temples. Temples often had "悲养院" (悲养院, literally "compassionate shelters") where they used land…

Li Yuanying's idea was finished, and Wei Jiu and the others were very curious about what poems were written on the scrolls. Li Yuanying disliked accompanying Emperor Li on hunts, feeling it was like playing games and lacked any fun. He didn't go with them. He said with a smile, "If you want to know, you can grind ink for me, and I'll write it for you!" Wei Jiu saw the smug look on his face, as if he was about to write "Sister Jiu, come quickly and serve me" on his forehead. She wanted to pinch his face.…

Li Yuanying brought such a large group of people with him that naturally, someone had to move. Emperor Li had prepared for this in advance, and had already made some room during the year-end assessments to accommodate Li Yuanying's entourage. The prefect was named Cui, a kind-hearted man who was quite plump, but in a balanced way that didn't make him appear unattractive. He had a rather friendly demeanor. Cui had only been in office for a year, and his performance review was quite satisfactory. When he…

Li Yuanying was shoved back into his group of friends, no longer needed to lead the way. Emperor Li was afraid that if his troublesome younger brother continued to blabber on, he would lose his temper and give the boy a good beating. He had never seen anyone who could talk so much nonsense! Luckily, these words were spoken among their own people. If Li Yuanying had gone and said these things in front of Songtsen Gampo and his minister Lu Dongzan, the boy probably wouldn't have lived to see the next…

Lu Shi and Fang Xuanling complained openly, but they didn’t show it too much in front of Lu Zhaolin. After all, she was from the Fanyang Lu Family and it wasn't appropriate to say anything too harsh directly, so she could only subtly remind him repeatedly. Lu Zhaolin wasn't stupid, of course he understood Lu Shi's warnings. While he felt she was doing this for his own good, he was already of age and had basic judgment. In his heart, he thought Li Yuanying was someone worth befriending. Not to mention Li…

Ma Zhou quickly snapped out of his brief daze. He was born into a humble family and unlike those nobles who sought pleasure, he didn’t have those kinds of frivolous thoughts. He had heard that Dai Ting had been operating in Goguryeo for half a year and had also made some arrangements in Silla. Once again, Ma Zhou marveled at Li Yuanying's incredible luck. How could someone as young as him, a mere eunuch, secretly make arrangements in Goguryeo? Though Goguryeo was just a small country, many people in…

Li Yuanying returned to the palace and went to see Gaoyang. He brought her the notes on *Erya* that Lu Zhaolin had compiled. Gaoyang had actually turned over a new leaf in the past few days, quietly sitting in her room practicing calligraphy. Beside her was *Erya*, which she had already read in part. Li Yuanying and Gaoyang interacted frequently, so the servants simply bowed to him when they saw him, no need for any announcements. When he arrived, Gaoyang was looking out the window, pen in hand, lost in…

Li Yuanying's order to impose a month-long curfew drew considerable attention. At least the people in neighboring counties felt that Tengzhou was lively and, after visiting relatives, they didn't want to return. This, in turn, brought a small fortune to Tengzhou's merchants. Everyone was busy during the first lunar month, so Li Yuanying didn't start any construction projects. Only after the Shangyuan Festival did he have people begin work on building the academy. He had already allocated the land,…
