The sky was overcast and Xiaocao lowered her head. The branches were bent and the sky was covered with dark clouds. It looked like a storm was coming. Chang 'an, which had been hot for more than a month, was finally going to welcome a rainstorm.
Li Zexuan was dressed very formally today. He wore a snow-white robe with a scholar's headscarf and clogs. He looked like a peerless scholar.
His appearance was indeed very 'cool', but if it wasn't for today's special day, Li Zexuan wouldn't dress like this even if he was beaten to death. The robe was very complicated to wear. From the inside to the outside, it was divided into an inner shirt, undershirt, socks, and scarf, a middle shirt, a jacket, and an outer shirt. If it wasn't for Xiaoxi's help, he probably wouldn't be able to wear it in the morning.
The robe of the Tang Dynasty was similar to a modern suit. It was usually worn on more formal occasions. Fortunately, it was a cloudy day today. Otherwise, Li Zexuan would definitely be treated as a fool by others.
Even so, when the students of the school saw their teacher's' stunning 'outfit, they couldn't help but be astonished. They secretly wondered if their teacher's brain had short-circuited today. Usually, when Li Zexuan came to class, he would dress very casually. It couldn't be said that he dressed sloppily, but it could be said that he was unrestrained! The sudden change in style made the students of the school very uncomfortable. A few mischievous troublemakers were ready to 'tease' him.
Li Zexuan didn't give them a chance to ask questions. He directly started the class with a serious expression.
Everyone in the classroom inexplicably felt an invisible pressure. A kind of oppressive atmosphere gradually filled the classroom. Everyone couldn't help but look at the blackboard. Even Cheng Chumo and Wang Meng, who were usually the most mischievous and didn't like to study the most, didn't dare to make trouble.
"Clang, clang, clang ~ ~!"
Unknowingly, the class had passed. Li Zexuan, who never delayed classes, didn't stop to let the students rest this time. It was as if he didn't hear the end of the class and continued his class as if nothing had happened.
"After so many lectures, all of you should have an intuitive understanding of fractions. Next, I'll talk about the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions. Some students might be confused. How do you add, subtract, multiply, and divide a score? Hehe, in the first chapter, we learned about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division between natural numbers. Of course, it is possible to extend it from natural numbers to fractions, but the rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division between fractions will be different. Please look at the blackboard … "
On the podium, Li Zexuan was meticulously and seriously teaching the class. It was as if he wanted to give all the knowledge to the students in this class. Influenced by this solemn mood, no one raised any objections. They all sat in their seats and listened attentively.
"Eh ~ ~? Why hasn't the class ended yet? "
As the status of the mathematics school in the Directorate of Imperial Studies rose, students from the other schools came here more and more frequently. Very quickly, people discovered that the mathematics school, which had always been very normal, was very abnormal today. Classes at the other schools had ended a long time ago, but there was still a class here. Thus, they all discussed it outside the window.
"That's not right! Li Siye would never give a lecture during recess! What's going on today? Are my eyes playing tricks on me ~? "
Yuan Shuo couldn't help but touch his chin and wonder.
"You're right ~! Why does Li Siye's clothes today feel … a little off ~ ~! "
"Also … also, look down there. Even Cheng Chumo is listening attentively. This is unbelievable ~!"
(The person who spoke clearly knew Cheng Chumo from the mathematics school very well.)
"This is too strange. They're still in class at this time. Don't they need to go to the toilet?"
(This idiot's brain is clearly wired differently from the other students.)
.....
"Chancellor, I heard that Li Siye is going to resign from his position as Si Ye?"
In the red attic in the center of the Imperial Studies Directorate.
In Kong Yingda's study.
Wang Yalun looked at Kong Yingda with a solemn expression and asked.
He was the first scholar from the Directorate to publish a policy article on Datang Daily when it was first published. However, due to his old age, Wang Yalun had long since resigned from his position at the Directorate of Imperial Studies. He hadn't asked about the internal affairs of the Directorate for a long time.
However, he was very experienced, even older than Kong Yingda. Most of the teaching assistants and scholars in the Directorate could be considered his juniors. Thus, even though Wang Yalun had already resigned, he had personally appeared today. Even Kong Yingda, the Chancellor of the Directorate of Imperial Studies, had to take him seriously.
"Indeed, Brother Yalun!"
Kong Yingda smiled bitterly.
"How did things end up like this? I've heard about what happened before. Li Siye's words in the newspaper were a little too harsh, and many of the things in the newspaper were vague. Overall, it didn't seem like a big deal. At most, Chancellor, you could've just reprimanded him. Why did you have to force him to leave? "
Wang Yalun glared as he spoke up for Li Zexuan.
Like Li Gang, Wang Yalun, who was half a foot in the grave, wasn't a pedantic Confucian. He had long since gotten over some problems. He knew very well that there were some arrogant people in Confucianism who thought too highly of themselves. He believed that any method that could help students learn was a good method. Li Zexuan's blackboard, chalk, the start and end of class system, pinyin, and so on were all extremely important for teachers to teach and pass on culture. Thus, Wang Yalun had always admired Li Zexuan.
"Brother Yalun! This isn't this Kong chasing Li Siye away! A few days ago, Li Siye told this old man that he had taken the initiative to resign from His Majesty. This Kong was also very surprised and repeatedly urged him to stay, but Li Siye had already made up his mind. This Kong has the heart but not the strength! "
Kong Yingda complained with a bitter face.
"How could this be? Chancellor, can you tell this Wang in detail? "
.....
"Alright, this chapter has been finished. Everyone, remember to revise when you go back and complete the homework. This time, I won't be marking your homework anymore because …"
After teaching three classes in a row without any breaks in between, Li Zexuan's throat was a little dry. After he finished teaching the chapter of marks, he looked at the students below and said in a deep voice,
"Because this is the last class that I will be teaching you in the School of Mathematics!"
The last class!!
When Li Zexuan's voice fell, all the students couldn't help but widen their eyes and stare blankly at their seats. The classroom fell into a dead silence. No sound could be heard, including the sound of breathing. At this moment, if a needle fell on the ground, one could probably hear a "ding dang" sound.
"Wow ~!"
After a full five to six breaths of silence, the students below finally reacted. Instantly, there was an uproar!
"Sir! Why is it the last class ~? You … what do you mean ~? "
Meng Wenhao gathered his courage and stood up first as he shouted with red eyes.
