"Qingque, you …"
On the path of the Imperial College, Meng Wenhao finished packing his things and came out to find Li Tai, who was waiting for him by the roadside. As if he had guessed what Li Tai would say to him, Meng Wenhao's expression was somewhat ashamed. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
"Haha, let's talk as we walk!"
Li Tai, who had been in the palace for many years, could tell what Meng Wenhao was thinking. He smiled, picked up his "backpack", and walked forward.
Li Zexuan was no longer in the Imperial College, and he definitely wouldn't come back in the future. The only reason he came to the Imperial College was because of Li Zexuan's novel knowledge. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come.
The knowledge that the other doctorates and teaching assistants in the Imperial College could teach could be taught by the scholars under him. Why would he give up what was near and seek what was far away? Therefore, he was on leave from today onwards!
"… Oh!"
Meng Wenhao stared blankly for a moment before responding. He moved his feet and followed behind Li Tai.
Li Zexuan announced the big event at the beginning of the fourth class in the morning. At this time, only the mathematics school was open for classes, so the path was quite quiet.
Meng Wenhao stepped on the smooth and hard bluestone pavement, listened to the various sounds of insects and birds, looked at the lush branches of the century-old trees around him, and smelled the fragrance of the expensive flowers on the side of the road. Meng Wenhao's mood didn't improve at all. He felt that he was going to make a wrong decision that he would regret for the rest of his life. His heart was heavy.
"Wenhao, are you still thinking about what happened in class?"
Li Tai walked in front and asked softly without turning his head.
"Yes!"
Meng Wenhao nodded his head, but he forgot that Li Tai's back was facing him, so he couldn't see him nodding his head.
"Haha! If we don't talk about your family, what is your original intention, Wenhao? Do you want to stay in the mathematics school and wait for the year-end examination to be promoted to a four-gate school, or do you want to go to Yanhuang College with Sir and learn his engineering knowledge? "
Li Tai's sharp eyes saw through Meng Wenhao's misgivings. He stopped and asked.
"Of course I'm going to Yanhuang College with you!"
Meng Wenhao answered without thinking. Then, he seemed to realize that his answer was too impulsive and hurriedly added,
"As the saying goes, one can see a whole leopard through a tube. From Sir's new mathematics, I seem to be able to see another world in Sir's heart. If I don't care about my future, my parents, and my younger sister, of course I'm willing to follow Sir to pursue that distant truth. That kind of knowledge is what scholars like us should spend our whole lives studying. Moreover, entering the Four Gates Academy and learning all day long to recite pedantic articles for no reason is definitely not what I want! "
"Also, Mr. Wen Hao's family is greatly indebted to you. When my father went out to sea this time, it was you who personally asked Prince Hejian to take care of him. But now, when Mister needs me, I am wavering. Wen Hao is so ashamed that he wants to die! This … "
"Stop!"
Li Tai turned around and interrupted, "Wen Hao, you are right about one thing. Only engineering is worthy of us scholars to spend our whole lives studying. I deeply agree with this point, but the second half of your sentence is wrong! Sir helped you out of his own heart, not because you want to repay him. Sir is not the kind of person who wants to repay kindness! "
Meng Wenhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "I know, I know, I definitely don't mean that!"
"Haha! Also, Wen Hao, you just said that if you don't consider your future, you would be very willing to go to Yanhuang College. I don't agree with this very much! It seems that you didn't take the last words Sir said before he left seriously! "
Li Tai said meaningfully.
"What words?"
Meng Wenhao was startled. He had been struggling and blaming himself in the teaching room, so he really didn't hear the last few words Li Zexuan said.
"Hey! It seems that Wen Hao really didn't listen carefully! "
Li Tai curled his lips, turned around, and said as he walked,
"Sir said that choosing Yanhuang College doesn't mean that you give up your future. Maybe you don't think so, but I have always believed in Sir! I believe in the future of Yanhuang College! Otherwise, why would my father agree to let Sir build his own college ~? "
At this point, he looked at Meng Wenhao and said very seriously, "Even my father thinks highly of Yanhuang College. What reason do you have to think that Yanhuang College has no future? Wen Hao, think about it seriously. Don't ruin your future because of secular views! That's all I have to say. You're on your own! "
After that, Li Tai flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Meng Wenhao was stunned in place and was speechless for a moment. Li Tai left a sentence in the air in front of him.
"Confucianism cultivates the heart and benefits the world. Do you want to cultivate the heart for a lifetime and become a rotten scholar who only knows how to care about others, or go to Yanhuang College and become an omnipotent and peerless expert who benefits the country and the people like Sir? It's all up to you, Wen Hao ~!"
"Confucianism cultivates the heart and benefits the world!"
Meng Wenhao's lifeless eyes suddenly bloomed with endless vigor. Slowly, his eyes gradually became firm.
"I want to benefit the world. I don't want to become a rotten scholar!"
Meng Wenhao murmured, picked up his schoolbag, and walked resolutely to the gate of the Directorate!
.....
"So, Li Siye has no choice but to leave ~?"
In the principal's office.
The conversation between the two big shots came to an end. At this time, Wang Yalun stood up and asked with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Yalun, I don't want to either, but Li Siye insists on leaving!"
Kong Yingda heard the blame in Wang Yalun's tone. He couldn't help but cup his hands and smile bitterly.
"Ha ~! It was originally a small matter, but it ended up like this. Chancellor Kong, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it ~? "
Wang Yalun shook his head and said with some displeasure.
"Brother Yalun, feel free to say it!"
Although Kong Yingda roughly guessed that this brother's words wouldn't be pleasant to hear, he still nodded and said.
"Forgive me for being blunt. Confucianism has been passed down to this day and has changed! When the Sage first proposed Confucianism, it was to let people cultivate the heart. Chancellor, take a look. What kind of heart are people cultivating now? Scheming against each other, fighting for power, and completely forgetting the responsibility of being a teacher! Confucianism is degenerating, but Li Siye's new learning is rising like the morning sun! I have a feeling that losing Li Siye in the Directorate is definitely an immeasurable loss. Chancellor Kong, you will definitely regret it soon ~! "
Wang Yalun's tone was solemn, and there were hidden meanings in his words. After he finished speaking, he didn't even bother to say goodbye and left with his hands behind his back!
"Confucianism is degenerating, and a new learning is rising! Sigh ~! Yalun is expressing his dissatisfaction with Cui Shanyou and the rest! Looks like I've really made a mistake this time! It's really a case of being clear-headed for a lifetime and muddle-headed for a moment! "
Kong Yingda looked in the direction where his old friend disappeared and muttered to himself.
