In the backyard of the Di residence.
"Cough, cough! Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneaked out to take the exam! "
Di Zhixun felt that something was wrong with Di Xiaoxu's question. He guessed that his father was pretending to be weak on purpose, waiting for him to get carried away before giving him a fatal blow. Therefore, Di Zhixun didn't act rashly at this time. Instead, he admitted his mistake very cautiously.
Di Xiaoxu frowned. If it was any other time, he would definitely hit him. However, the warning that Li Er gave him in the morning still rang in his ears. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about this first. This old man wants to know how you did on the exam today."
Di Zhixun couldn't understand his father's meaning. He pondered for a moment and said, "I … I didn't prepare well for the exam this time, so … so I didn't do very well on the exam …"
In his mind, his father didn't like him studying mathematics. If he told him that he did very well on the exam, wouldn't he be waiting for a beating?
However, he was destined to miscalculate this time!
When Di Xiaoxu heard that his son didn't do well on the exam, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Didn't that mean that he couldn't get into Yanhuang College? In that case, wouldn't the agreement that Li Er made with him in the morning be invalid? Then what did he have to worry about? Thinking of this, Di Xiaoxu immediately changed his expression and said loudly,
"Unfilial son! This old man repeatedly ordered you not to go out in these three days. In the end, you turned a deaf ear and insisted on doing things your own way. You actually took advantage of this old man's morning court to secretly run away from home and go to Yanhuang College to take the entrance exam! How preposterous! Housekeeper, quickly take out the family law! "
Di Zhixun was shocked. He stared in shock and said, "No, Father … Father, didn't you just say that you wouldn't pursue the matter of me leaving the residence without permission? You … How can you go back on your words? "
Di Xiaoxu snorted and said, "When did this old man say that I wouldn't pursue the matter? Housekeeper, what are you waiting for? Quickly take out the family law! Bastard! You little brat, how dare you run away? Men, arrest him for this old man! "
…
Ganlu Palace.
"This son pays his respects to the emperor!"
When Li Er heard this, he put down the memorial in his hand and looked up with a smile. Chengqian is here! Have a seat! I called you here because I have something to tell you! "
Li Chengqian gave his thanks and walked to the side to sit on the embroidered stool that the chamberlain had brought over. Then, he looked towards Li Er and cupped his hands, asking, "Does Imperial Father have any orders for this son? I will do my best! "
Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal! Chengqian, have you heard about the big exam at Yanhuang College today? "
Li Chengqian didn't understand why Li Er would suddenly ask about this. He could only answer honestly, "Of course I know about this. I'm afraid that there aren't many in the entire Chang 'an City who don't know about this!"
Li Er nodded. A moment later, he said, "We actually ran into Di Xiaoxu in the academy today. At that time, he was causing havoc in Yanhuang College!"
Li Chengqian asked curiously, "Secretary Di? As far as I know, Secretary Di has never had any conflicts with Yanhuang College. Why would he go and wreak havoc in the Yanhuang Academy today? "
Li Er said with a gloomy expression, "He didn't have any conflicts with Yanhuang College in the past, but today, his youngest son secretly went behind his back to participate in Yanhuang College's entrance exam! Di Xiaoxu discovered that his son was missing after the morning court assembly, so he went to Yanhuang College to ask for him! "
"This … Although Secretary Di loves his son dearly, this will definitely affect the other examinees. I don't think it's appropriate!"
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and cupped his hands.
"Hmph! He loves his son dearly ~? "
Li Er snorted in dissatisfaction and continued, "We can put Qing Que and Ke 'er in Yanhuang College. Don't tell me I don't love my son dearly? Is Di Xiaoxu's son more precious than our son ~? We see that some people only know how to cling to the prejudice of their sects, and there are many such people! We didn't want Yanhuang College to develop so quickly, but now it seems … "
Li Chengqian's expression turned serious. He quickly stood up and said, "Father, what do you want me to do? I will do my best! "
This was what it meant to fight a tiger with brothers, father and son soldiers! Before Li Er finished speaking, Li Chengqian roughly understood what Li Er meant.
Li Er saw this and couldn't help but smile. "Good ~! Actually, we wanted to let Yanhuang College slowly develop, but no one expected the first batch of students to apply for Yanhuang College to be so many. This means that many people still recognize Li Zexuan's engineering skills. Since we have such a good foundation, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't make good use of it?
As far as we know, Yanhuang College will release the results the day after tomorrow. When that time comes, we will officially start school. We plan to appoint you as a supervisor and enter Yanhuang College in the name of a supervisor. You will return to court a month later! "
Supervisor? Enter Yanhuang College?
Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard this! It wasn't that he didn't want to go to Yanhuang College. Logically speaking, he should be the one who had the deepest relationship with Li Zexuan. Therefore, he should be the one who should go to Li Zexuan's Yanhuang College. However, Li Chengqian understood that as a country's heir, he couldn't go wherever he wanted. If he really went to Yanhuang College, there would definitely be many courtiers who would oppose it.
"Father, this … I'm afraid the courtiers won't …"
Li Chengqian hesitated.
Li Er waved his hand and smiled. "Don't worry! We are only sending you to supervise, not to enroll. We want to see who will oppose ~! "
Actually, things weren't as simple as Li Er said. The reason why he dared to do this was because several civil officials, led by Zhangsun Wuji, had sent their juniors to Yanhuang College. This showed that in the conflict between the sects and the country's interests, there were still many people who were willing to follow Li Er. Li Er was naturally aware of this point! That was why he made this decision.
"Your son accepts the decree!"
Although he didn't know where his father's confidence came from, Li Chengqian still agreed.
"En ~! Then Chengqian, go back and prepare ~! "
Li Er picked up his teacup and said calmly.
Li Chengqian knew that this meant that he should leave. However, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Father, I heard that in the first month of Yanhuang College, they will train all the students, just like how they train the army. The person who will be in charge of the training is Duke Yi!"
Li Er nodded. "En, there is indeed such a thing. What about it?"
Qin Qiong had personally told him about this before. He thought about it then. Since there was no war in the Tang Empire, there was no need for Qin Qiong to go to the battlefield. Thus, he agreed on the spot. However, he didn't know why Li Chengqian mentioned this now.
