Chapter 695

The soldiers of Feng Army all laughed at Tang Yin's arrogant tone. They looked Tang Yin up and down, and saw that he was only wearing ordinary people's clothes and he was not very old. He was obviously not a high-ranking official or a high-ranking government official. How could he do this? He took it seriously.

A soldier asked with a sneer: "Boy, who do you think you are? Are you able to see the Lord whenever you want?"

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "Just go in and report the news. Tell him that the person who wants to see him is Tang Yin, and ask him to come out to see me immediately!"

Tang Yin...

Tang Yin? After all the soldiers looked puzzled at first, all of a sudden, their eyes widened. Tang Yin? Isn't that the king? The soldiers looked at Tang Yin in disbelief, dumbfounded and unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing this, he scolded angrily: "Why don't you go quickly?"

I don't know whether what the young man dressed as an ordinary person in front of me said is true or not, but the soldiers did not dare to neglect it. One of them turned around and ran quickly into the courtyard as if he was being chased by a ghost. The other soldiers who stayed behind subconsciously took a few steps back and stared at Tang Yin with big eyes and small eyes. At this time, they didn't know whether to kneel down and salute, or to step forward and take him down to ask him clearly.

Not long after, a group of people ran out of the courtyard quickly. The leader was a civil servant, in his early forties, with a medium build, a face as white as jade, regular facial features, and a dignified appearance. The man walked out of the courtyard, looked forward, and met Tang Yin's eyes.

The middle-aged civil servant suddenly trembled, hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and said in a breathless and trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Prime Minister and Vice-President Wang Xiao!"

The Deputy Historian to the Prime Minister is a fourth-grade civil servant, directly subordinate to the Right Prime Minister. Wang Xiao's official rank was low and he was not qualified to participate in the Feng Kingdom's court meetings. However, he had met Tang Yin and recognized him at a glance.

Seeing the person in charge kneeling down and saluting, the soldiers on the left and right were completely dumbfounded. Is this young man really the king? This...how is this possible? Why does the king only wear common people's clothes?

People stood there blankly for a while before they suddenly came back to their senses. Then, there was a continuous sound of the friction of armor, and the soldiers around them knelt down on one knee, especially those who had just stopped Tang Yin and made rude remarks. He was trembling even as he knelt on the ground, and his body was shaking into a ball.

Tang Yin ignored them and had no intention of blaming them. After all, he was wearing casual clothes. No wonder the brothers below couldn't recognize him.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao who was kneeling in front of him, frowning slightly.

If I remember correctly, the Prime Minister and Deputy Historian was just a minor official of the fourth rank. How could he afford to build such a big house? Can the army be mobilized to protect him? Tang Yin felt funny.

He didn't let Wang Xiao get up, but asked: "What's going on here? Who is the house built for?"

Wang Xiao lowered his head, swallowed, and said cautiously: "Back to the king, this is not building an official residence, but building an academy, oh... it's Lingwu Academy!"

"Ah!" After hearing what he said, Tang Yin suddenly realized that yes, Qiu Zhen had said that Lingwu Academy would be located in the east of the city. He thought that the preparations were almost complete, but it turned out that it had just been completed in prototype. However, Qiu Zhen was very generous and actually built such a large Lingwu Academy for himself. How much money would it cost? No wonder Zhang Zhe's face has been looking ugly recently.

Qiu Zhen was the person in charge of building the Lingwu Academy, but he couldn't get involved in the specific details of the construction, and he didn't know how to plan it. He could only leave it to the Right Prime Minister Shangguan Yuanji. Wang Xiao was the supervisor sent by Shangguan Yuanji, and he was also a talent in civil engineering.

"Get up!" Tang Yin put his hands behind his back and raised his head to Wang Xiao in front of him.

This was the first time for Wang Xiao to talk to Tang Yin face to face, and he seemed very nervous. He had already stood up, but suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he knelt down again and said, "I don't know that your Majesty has come to visit you. I'm sorry to hear you come from afar, but I still hope." Your Majesty, forgive me!”

As expected, the subordinates selected by Yuanji were more bitter than the last. Tang Yin was happy and said: "I didn't blame you, why are you still kneeling here? Take me in and have a look!"

"Yes, yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Xiao stood up again, turned his eyes, and fell on Yin Rou next to Tang Yin, and said to himself, what a beautiful girl! He had seen Tang Yin, but never Yin Rou, so he was inevitably surprised.

Tang Yin didn't want to explain more, so he walked into the courtyard with Yin Rou in his arms.

If we start from the time Tang Yin originally told Qiu Zhen, the completion progress of such a huge project can be considered very fast. Of course, this Lingwu Academy did not rise from the ground. It itself is composed of several large houses, but the middle ones are all opened up, and they are renovated and rebuilt on the original basis. Therefore, the progress of the project is faster than that of a new one. Much more.

Construction is going on everywhere in the courtyard and it is very messy, with mounds of earth and rocks piled up everywhere.

Wang Xiao specially found engineering drawings and gave them to Tang Yin. Every time he went to a place, Wang Xiao pointed out its specific location on the map and explained in detail its function after completion. Tang Yin walked to the center of the college and saw a towering pavilion in front of him. The pavilion had not been completed or capped, but even so it was already four stories high.

Even Yin Rou opened her mouth in surprise and murmured: "It's so high!"

Her specific identity is unclear, but judging from the closeness between Tang Yin and her, she must have a very close relationship and an extraordinary background.

Wang Xiao saluted Yin Rou and said, "Miss, this pavilion is the main hall of the college and the core of the college. It is planned to be built with seven floors. When completed, it will be the tallest building in our country!" When speaking, He couldn't hide the look of pride on his face.

Tang Yin was surprised: "It has to be built so high?"

"Yes, my king! Prime Minister Qiu specifically instructed that this main hall should become a landmark building in the future, so it must be grand, majestic, and grand!"

Puff! Tang Yin couldn't help laughing and muttered: "A seven-story hall is grand, majestic, and grand enough, but it also costs a lot of money."

Wang Xiao's face became serious and he said: "Prime Minister Qiu said that the king once said that no country in the world has been destroyed because of education. Education is the basis for cultivating talents, and talents are the foundation of the country."

Tang Yin glanced at him and corrected: "The first half of the sentence is what I said, and the second half was added by Qiu Zhen himself."

Yin Rou raised her hand, covered her mouth with her sleeve, and laughed. I don't know if it's because of the love for the house, even when she saw Tang Yin and his subordinates talking about business, she found it very interesting.

Tang Yin asked Wang Xiao, "Sir Wang, it seems that you are also very supportive of spending money to build Lingwu College?"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Wang Xiao said with emotion, "It is because of the lack of talents in Lingwu that our country is bullied by Ningguo, and the last defeat in Hedong caused 200,000 Fengguo men to be buried in a foreign land. Today, Your Majesty is building Lingwu College, which will not only benefit the present world, but also the descendants of Dafeng. This move is even more important than taking back Hedong County."

"Oh?" Tang Yin liked to hear this, and felt that it was very pertinent. He smiled and praised, "Sir Wang has a broader vision than many first- and second-rank officials in the court. It is really a waste of talent to be only the deputy historian of the prime minister. After the Lingwu College is built, you will be promoted to the chief historian of the prime minister!"

With one sentence, Wang Xiao's official rank was raised by two levels. The latter was a little overwhelmed. He was just a supervisor and did not do anything. Why did the king treat him so well? He was stunned for a long time before he remembered to kneel down to thank him.

Yin Rou took Tang Yin to look around the half-finished main hall. As if she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and looked at Tang Yin eagerly, whispering: "Yin, you have to promise me something."

Tang Yin was stunned and asked: "What is it?"

"Can you promise me first?"

Blinking, Tang Yin replied smartly: "Okay! As long as I can do it and it does not affect the principle, I can promise you." Things that go his way are not against the principle, and things that do not go his way are naturally against the principle.

Yin Rou blinked her big eyes, looked at him carefully, and said softly: "After Lingwu College is built, I will come here to study."

Never expected that she would make such a request. Tang Yin didn't know how to react. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Do you like to learn Lingwu?"

Yin Rou smiled and said: "I just like the hustle and bustle!"

Coming to Lingwu College just because you like the hustle and bustle, isn't this nonsense? Tang Yin's first reaction was to object, but then he thought again, Yin Rou rarely asked him for help, if he rejected her outright, it would hurt her heart too much, besides, Yin Rou's participation in Lingwu College was not without benefits, at least it would be of great benefit to Lingwu College itself.

Yin Rou was the princess of the empire, the emperor's favorite sister, her willingness to join Lingwu College would undoubtedly be the most sensational advertising effect, which would not only attract talents from Feng Country, but also talents from other countries, which would be beneficial to Feng Country's recruitment of Lingwu talents.

Moreover, he could also let her just register in Lingwu College, and she would not have to come to class in person.

Thinking of this, Tang Yin said with a smile: "I thought it was such a big deal! This is simple, after Lingwu College is built, I will let you be the first batch of students to enter the college."

"Really?" Hearing this, Yin Rou's eyes sparkled, like the two brightest stars in the night sky, making Tang Yin look a little dazed for a while. But he soon felt guilty again, if Yin Rou knew what he really thought in his heart, would she still be so excited?

For the first time in his life, he felt guilty...

This secret trip out of the palace was the most exciting day for Yin Rou since she moved into the palace. She was still smiling when she went to bed at night. Seeing her happy look, Xiao Min also felt very happy, but at the same time, there was a sour taste in her heart. The princess was much happier with Tang Yin than with him. . . .

Tang Yin returned to the palace. Before he entered the door, Tang Zhongxian came out to greet him. As soon as they met, he said, "Your Majesty, Lei Zhen wants to see you. He has been waiting for you all afternoon. He is now in the lobby."

"No!" Tang Yin replied without thinking, "Tell him that I am tired. If there is anything, we can talk tomorrow morning."
