Chapter 227 Imperial Master Dai Tian
Ye Yin took her hand, asked her to sit on a chair, and poured her a cup of tea with his own hands.
"Drink some water first."
"If you knew another thing, you probably wouldn't think Lang Zhengde had no ulterior motive in marrying his daughter to Lin Chong, because it was he who recommended Imperial Preceptor Dai Tian to the late emperor!"
"he?"
Lin Yue really admired Lang Zhengde! This made sense, why youth was not important to him.
It turns out that the person who is more important to him should be the national teacher.
This was the second time Lin Yue had heard of the National Master Dai Tian. The first time was from Lin Chong, and this time it was from Ye Yin.
"What kind of person is the Imperial Master?"
Ye Yin's gaze became somewhat distant. He did not answer immediately. His eyes glanced at Madam Ge who was bringing people in to set the table.
"Are you hungry? Let's talk while we eat."
While asking people to set the table, Madam Ge talked to her two masters about the whereabouts of the children, with a look of worry on her face.
"The four young masters went out with Xue Lao Li and said they would be back in two days! I don't know where the two old men took them!"
Seeing this, Lin Yue spoke out to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Madam Ge. The two elders are teaching them skills. Boys can't stay in the mansion every day and be pampered. They need to see the dangers of the world and the sufferings of the world. Only then will they be less short-sighted in the future. It's a good thing for them to learn more and go out more!"
Hearing this, Ye Yin couldn't help but look at his wife, a look full of admiration and respect.
"Yue'er is right. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I thought you would feel sorry for them! If they were to be taken out of the house by the two elders for a long time in the future, I'm afraid you would not agree! So, you hope they can go out and gain experience?"
When Lin Yue heard that they would be taken out of the house for a long time, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. After thinking about it, she still felt that the most important thing was for the children to gain experience. She had heard this famous saying before, and could recite it in large numbers, so she blurted it out half-jokingly.
“Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles; traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as meeting countless people; meeting countless people is not as good as having a famous teacher to guide you; having a famous teacher to guide you is not as good as having help from a noble person; having help from a noble person is not as good as realizing it yourself; if you don’t realize it yourself, even the gods can’t help you.”
Ye Yin was slightly stunned when he heard this, but also a little amused, "Are you reciting?"
These sentences sound like a jingle, but... there is some truth to them, right?
Aunt Ge was also stunned. The young couple discussed the issue of their child's education, and their ideas seemed to be surprisingly consistent. It was a good thing that they had no disagreements!
That's right, the four little princes are still too young! With such young children in the capital, even the princes are still learning!
"However, what you said makes sense. They have all the books, famous teachers, and noble people. What they lack is traveling thousands of miles, meeting countless people, and understanding on their own. I think this shouldn't be a difficult task for them!"
Lin Yue also agreed. She extended her hand without hesitation, "Since we have the same educational philosophy, I hope we can keep it that way and not have any disagreements over our children's education!"
Ye Yin smiled slightly, "That's quite refreshing. What are you worried about, Yue'er? Even if we have disagreements, your husband will listen to you!"
These words even made Madam Ge speechless. The prince changed so quickly. Ever since his wedding, his ability to coax people with his mouth has improved by leaps and bounds, almost without any instruction.
All right! It seemed that they were redundant here, so she called out and everyone went downstairs.
Over these long periods of time, the servants in the mansion knew Lin Yue's habits. She didn't like personal service, such as dressing, bathing, and eating.
Even Ye Yin gradually developed the same habits as her in order to please her!
The two continued the previous topic while eating. Ye Yin picked up some dishes that Lin Yue liked while talking.
"The Imperial Preceptor is a very unique figure in the Great Qi Dynasty. We don't know how old he is, but we know that everyone who has seen him says that his appearance has never aged. Therefore, the three generations of emperors in the Great Qi Dynasty all hoped that he could teach them some longevity techniques."
No change in appearance? It seems everyone is the same, wanting to achieve immortality!
"He did confer the title, but they were just relatively healthy. As for longevity, it was quite long, with each reigning for over thirty years, which is considered relatively long among all dynasties!"
Lin Yue swallowed a meatball and mumbled, "Is it just because of longevity?"
Seeing that she ate three meatballs in a row, Ye Yin also picked up one to taste. It tasted really good, so he put the remaining three in the bowl into hers.
"Not only that, he's very skilled in Qimen Dunjia and other magical arts, which is why he was given the title of Imperial Master. The current Imperial Astronomical Bureau admires him very much. Once, he made a mistake while observing the celestial phenomena at night, and the Imperial Master gave him some pointers. Since then, he has never made a mistake again and is very grateful to the Imperial Master."
After hearing this, Lin Yue became even more curious about the National Master.
"Lin Chong said that his whereabouts are difficult to determine, and even it is extremely difficult for the emperor to see him. What is going on?"
Speaking of this, Ye Yin sighed.
"In the beginning, it was said that this wasn't the case. It was rather the greed of those in power that caused the Imperial Master to intentionally avoid him. He saw through people's hearts and knew that what they pursued was nothing more than money, status, and longevity. Therefore, he only wanted to see those with whom he had a predestined relationship! This definition of 'predestined relationship' is quite strange! Even if he was the emperor, he wouldn't be able to find him unless he was the predestined one."
It seems that this person is really mysterious. No one knows what kind of ability he has. He is like a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail. You know, if the emperor of a country wants to find someone, there is no way he can't find him.
As if seeing through Lin Yue's thoughts, Ye Yin revealed the secret to her.
"If he doesn't want to see anyone, not even the emperor can find him. He lives in Mingtai Mountain all year round and never leaves, but the emperor can't find him even if he digs three feet underground!"
Wow! So magical!
Lin Yue couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. It seemed that as long as he didn't want to be found, no one could find him.
This person must have some magical skills!
"What is the relationship between the Imperial Master and Lang Zhengde?"
Ye Yin shook his head.
"Back then, the late emperor secretly ordered Lang Zhengde to search for some wandering sorcerers. Lang Zhengde only learned of Dai Tian when he reached the vicinity of Mingtai Mountain. He then managed to meet him and recommended him to the emperor after just one encounter. Lang Zhengde met him twice in total. The other time was when he was appointed Imperial Preceptor by imperial decree. However, Dai Tian did not show up that time."
"It's said that Dai Tian was unwilling to enter the court. It was the late emperor who forced him to do so. He also personally went to Mingtai Mountain for a month accompanied by Lang Zhengde and lived there with sincerity. Dai Tian reluctantly accepted the invitation!"
So that's how it is. If that's the case, then if Lang Zhengde thinks the Imperial Master is really powerful, he must be acting out of selfish motives.
