Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 243 King Wei’s Reminder

Outside Chang'an City.

A convoy was slowly approaching. One, two, three... more and more little heads were sticking out of the windows of the carriages, looking at the huge city ahead.

"Is this Chang'an City?"

“How majestic.”

"My father said that he has never been to Chang'an City in his life..."

“…My father is the same.”

The chirping sound continued to be heard in the carriages.

As if startled by the noise of the many students behind him, Cui Junsu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back. The windows of every carriage were filled with curious little heads.

Cui Junsu smiled and then sat up straight.

"Why did uncle let them go?"

"Chang'an City is coming."

Cui Junsu glanced at Cui Renshi and said calmly, "After all, they are just a group of innocent children."

Cui Renshi nodded without saying anything.

As the convoy slowly approached the city gate, its speed also slowed down a lot.

"Students from Boling?"

When the city defense officer checked the pass handed in by the servants, he couldn't help but frowned and looked at the carriages.

Except for the leading carriage, there were more or less curious heads in the other carriages, constantly sticking out to watch.

"Any questions?"

Cui Renshi stuck his head out and spoke to the officer.

The city gate commander was stunned for a moment, "Lord Cui?"

Cui Renshi: "I am no longer an adult. My uncle and I are just bringing five hundred students to Chang'an City to meet His Majesty."

"Let go."

The city gate commander immediately raised his hand and handed the pass to the servant.

Cui Renshi nodded and lowered the curtain.

"Something strange."

Cui Junsu spoke calmly, and Cui Renshi instantly understood what Cui Junsu meant, "Uncle means, why didn't anyone come to receive us?"

Cui Junsu nodded, "These are five hundred students, not just a few people."

If there were only a few or dozens of people, with the abilities of Cui Junsu and the others, they could naturally arrange them properly.

But now there are 500 students, and the news of their coming to Chang'an City has been released long ago, so it is impossible that Chang'an City does not know about it.

It was a bit strange that when they arrived in Chang'an City, no one came to receive them.

Cui Renshi remained silent.

At this moment, the voices of the princes caught their attention.

Cui Junsu and the other man lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked over, and saw the King of Wei walking towards them with a big belly, wiping the sweat from his head.

Cui Junsu and the other man hurriedly got out of the car and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Li Tai waved his hand and said, "I'm really sorry, both of you. I was a little late because of some trivial matters."

Cui Junsu and the other two dared not say anything more, "We came too early."

After Li Tai calmed down, he said, "This time the Crown Prince ordered me to come and receive you two, as well as the five hundred students that accompanied you."

"I have already arranged accommodation, please follow me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cui Junsu and the other man thanked him and followed Li Tai into the city.

Li Tai personally greeted them and led the convoy slowly forward, which naturally attracted a large number of curious passers-by.

Especially after hearing that Cui Junsu and the other person came from Boling for the enlightenment program half a year ago, more and more passers-by gathered.

Pairs of eyes looked curiously at the children who stuck their heads out.

Are these children the first batch of students in the Head Start program?
Li Tai said with a smile: "Now the people in Chang'an City have heard that you have come to Chang'an City, and they are all very curious."

"Look, everyone is looking at us."

Cui Junsu smiled and said, "Everyone has only heard about the Enlightenment Project, but has not really seen it, so it is understandable that they are a little curious."

Li Tai nodded, "I heard that your enlightenment plan is going very smoothly?"

Cui Junsu: "It's going well. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Li Tai smiled and said, "In fact, the prince originally wanted to give this task to Tang Jiahui of the Honglu Temple, but later he thought that if he gave it to him, it would seem that the court was not very concerned about this matter, so the prince gave this task to me."

"Unfortunately, I am obese and it is very difficult for me to walk. Otherwise, I would have been at the city gate to meet you two."

Cui Junsu: "It is a great honor to be greeted by the prince personally. How dare I ask for more?"

"Ha ha……"

The group of three came to Wubenfang, chatting and laughing.

Li Tai said with a smile: "Do you know why you are placed in Wubenfang?"

Cui Renshi: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Li Tai: "What the prince means is that you have been ordered to teach 500 students to be enlightened. Be practical and don't think too much."

After saying that, Li Tai looked at the two of them with a smile.

Cui Junsu and the other two seemed to be thinking about something. Teacher Cui Ren bowed and thanked them, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my doubts."

"We are here. You will stay here for the time being. I have already ordered the preparation of all the room utensils. If you need anything, please ask the servants in the mansion."

"Yes."

"I, the king, take the first step."

"My lord, walk slowly."

After seeing Li Tai off, Cui Junsu and his companions immediately arranged for 500 students to move in.

After everything was arranged, the two of them sat in the room to drink tea and rest.

"What do you think?" "My nephew thinks this is strange."

"Why is it so strange?"

Cui Renshi thought for a moment and said, "Although the King of Wei was demoted, the Crown Prince seems to value him more. Moreover, the King of Wei came to greet him personally today. Why was he a step late?"

"As the King of Wei, why would you come here in person? I think this might be a hint from His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Cui Junsu pondered: "We have been away from Chang'an for some time. Now that we are back, it is time to visit old friends."

Cui Renshi: "I understand uncle."

……

"The King of Wei is late?"

"When the King of Wei arrives, Cui Junsu and his men will enter the city."

"After all, the King of Wei is fatter."

Su Chen laughed and teased, "What are Cui Junsu and the others doing?"

Sun Qiang: "After Cui Junsu and his team arranged for the students, they went to visit the residences of the adults."

"People leave and the tea gets cold. I wonder if they are willing to help when Cui Junsu and the others come back this time."

Su Chen: "Although they don't hold official positions now, they are still members of the Cui family. Besides, didn't Kong Shaoxin and the others visit quite a few people a few days ago?"

Sun Qiang nodded.

Su Chen: "Lu Fei sent a message. He has returned from Shannan Road. He brought back more than a dozen students with him. He will arrive in Chang'an City tomorrow at the latest."

"The food, clothing, housing and transportation of these students will be left to you to arrange."

"it is good!"

Sun Qiang responded.

There are only a dozen students, so it is naturally not difficult to make arrangements.

At this time.

Su Wang walked in quickly, "Sir, this is the file sent from Hedong, please take a look."

Su Chen took the file and asked, "Was it done by Su Bin and Jiang Wuyang?"

Su Wang: "Yes, but in addition to Master Su Bing and Master Su, Xue Yuanchao of the Xue family also made a lot of efforts in this."

Su Chen tapped the file and said with a smile, "I remember that when Xue Li came back from Jiangnan, someone went to visit his house?"

Sun Qiang: "Sir, you have a good memory. Someone did come to visit and gave a lot of gifts."

"The two branches of the Xue family, the Southern Ancestor and the Western Ancestor, have connected at this time."

Su Chen said casually and opened the file.

Otherwise, how can we say that Jiang Wuyang has something? Although he has escaped from Henan Prefecture, he still has many connections there.

The files record a lot of useful information they have collected.

Among them is the catalogue of many geniuses that Kong privately collected in Henan Prefecture.

The information of each selected child is extremely detailed, and even if they are eliminated, the information of these children will be marked out one by one.

In addition, many mistakes made by members of the Kong family were all covered up by the government and Marquis Baosheng, and were all reduced to minor matters.

"Oh, there are Kong Shaoxin and Lu Chengsi as well."

After seeing two familiar names on the file, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.

After closing the file casually, Su Chen pondered for a moment, "Has Lu Chengsi been living in Lord Lu's house recently?"

"not at all."

Sun Qiang shook his head. "After living in Lord Lu's house for two days, Lu Chengsi moved out and now lives in Chongrenfang."

"Why do you care about these two, sir? Is there a record about them in the file?"

Su Chen teased, "Lu Chengsi received a lot of gold from me, how could I forget him?"

There's something wrong with this tone.

Sun Qiang and the other man seemed to be thinking about something, thinking that Su Chen had set his sights on him.

Su Chen smiled and separated the files one by one. He casually threw one of the files to Sun Qiang, "As usual, one file will be sent to the Dali Temple and one file will be sent to the Ministry of Justice."

Sun Qiang nodded and took it.

Su Chen said, "Go call Xu Qizhuang, I have something to tell him."

"it is good."

Su Wang went out to make arrangements.

In just one stick of incense, Xu Qizhuang arrived at the Prince's Residence with a smile on his face.

"Brother Su, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"I'll ask you to help promote something."

"Those students from the Head Start program, right?"

Xu Qizhuang had a smile on his face, as if he had guessed Su Chen's thoughts long ago.

Su Chen nodded, and Xu Qizhuang continued, "Brother Su, in fact, we don't need to promote the students of the Enlightenment Program at all. When Cui Junsu and the other two brought the 500 students to Chang'an City today, they had already attracted the attention of the people of Chang'an City."

Su Chen smiled and said, "It's another batch."

Xu Qizhuang: “???”

Another batch?
"Apart from the 500 students taught by Cui Junsu and the others, where else are the students participating in the enlightenment program?"

"They will be here tomorrow."

Su Chen raised his lips slightly, "Spread the news that these students are self-taught by folk teachers, and they came to Chang'an City to verify their own studies."

"Any child who is educated can compete with them. If they win, they will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."

Xu Qizhuang: “???”

"It's not Brother Su, if it's the students Cui Junsu brought..."

“They are not allowed to participate!”
