This was the students' first class after entering Yanhuang College, and it would be the class that would leave the deepest impression in their lives! Li Zexuan chose some of the more classic experiments from mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geography. These experiments opened the door to a new world for these students who had been influenced by Confucianism for many years. The charm of engineering was displayed incisively and vividly!
At the same time, Li Zexuan's teaching style had given all the teachers in the academy a great inspiration. They realized that when Li Zexuan was teaching, all the students' attention was focused on Li Zexuan. After half a day of class, there was not even a single person who went to the toilet, let alone someone who was absent!
Did the students not want to go to the toilet? Obviously not, because after Li Zexuan announced the end of class, the toilets in the auditorium, oh, no, the toilets in the auditorium were all overcrowded. Many students had no choice but to rush to the school building to use the toilets!
What did this mean? It meant that the students were unwilling to miss a single bit of Li Zexuan's teaching! This could be called a miracle in the history of teaching!
Most of the teachers in the academy used to be teachers in local government schools or schools in the countryside. But what was the situation like when they taught students? Other than a few students who really wanted to excel through studying and listening attentively, the rest of the students were either absent-minded or sleeping. They were all hoping that the class would end early!
Compared to Li Zexuan's class, the effect of their teaching was like the bottom of the abyss, while the other was above the clouds!
Therefore, after Li Zexuan's class, Yan Silu, who was in charge of teaching in the academy, did not even eat lunch. He immediately gathered all the teachers in the academy and held a "Teaching Method Improvement and Learning" meeting. He asked all the teachers in the five academic departments to reflect on their teaching methods and improve them within a time limit!
The teaching team of the academy would organize teachers to take turns attending classes every week. At the end of the semester, the teachers' teaching ability would play a large role in the final evaluation.
Therefore, no one would ignore this matter!
Of course, Li Zexuan also sat in on the meeting, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end! He was quite impressed with Yan Silu's ability to discover the problem and react quickly. At the end of the day, Yanhuang College couldn't be supported by him alone. He needed all the teachers to exert their subjective power!
After the meeting, many of the teachers who had classes in the afternoon didn't even bother to eat lunch and hurriedly went to prepare for class!
It had to be said that the competition for teaching in Yanhuang College was really great. There was the most awesome teacher in the Tang Empire — Li Gang, as well as famous people like Yan Silu, Wang Ji, and Xiao Deyan. When working with such outstanding people, one would feel embarrassed to slack off.
Li Zexuan didn't have any classes. In fact, he didn't substitute for any classes in the past two semesters because there were enough teachers in the Academy. As the "principal", how could he roll up his sleeves and compete with others for a job?
When the next batch of students enrolled next year, if there weren't enough teachers, he might consider substituting for the students if he had time!
Therefore, he went straight back to the courtyard for lunch. In the afternoon, he still had to go to Chang 'an City. Previously, someone from the Ministry of Personnel sent him a letter to collect the official seal of the Ministry of Shipping. It was said that this thing couldn't be collected by others, so he had to go personally.
…
After lunch, Li Zexuan brought Pang Feiji and two other bodyguards. The four of them rode down from the Cloud Mountain and headed straight for Chang 'an!
It was now late autumn, and the weather wasn't as hot as before. He didn't like to take a carriage when he went out. Although "Don't Touch Me" was comfortable, he still liked the carefree feeling of riding on a horse.
"Hyah! Make way! The people in front please make way! "
The four of them quickly arrived at Chang 'an City and entered the city from the east side of Yanxing Gate. Li Zexuan could gallop on his horse outside the city, but he deliberately slowed down the moment he entered the city. The four of them walked on the main road between Xinchang Square and Shengdao Square. Not long after, they heard the rumbling sound of carriages and horses behind them, and a man's request.
Li Zexuan heard that the man behind them sounded polite, so he brought Pang Feiji and the rest to the side of the road. Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the huge group of carriages that rolled past them!
There were about 40 to 50 people in the group, all dressed in black armor. They were all tall and strong, and their hair was disheveled. They looked ferocious. The leading carriage had a large flag hanging on it, and a majestic "Feng" character was written on it. The caravan whizzed past, and in the blink of an eye, it had left Li Zexuan and the others far behind.
"Feng? Is there a family of generals with the surname Feng near Chang 'an City? "
Li Zexuan looked in the direction where the carriages disappeared and asked softly.
Pang Feiji thought for a moment and answered, "Marquis, although there are generals with the surname Feng in the family of generals, I have seen most of them before! From the way they are dressed, they don't seem to be from around Chang 'an City, and they are not even from the Central Plains! "
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows. Not from the Central Plains? Then why was there such a big group of people traveling?
Since he was not in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Personnel, he ordered, "Feiji, go to the city gate and ask around. Find out where these people are from!"
"Yes!"
Pang Feiji accepted the order and rode his horse towards Yanxing Gate, which they had just passed by!
After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he turned around and returned.
"Marquis, I have just asked the general at the city gate. The group of people just now came from Lingnan. It is said that Duke Geng of Lingnan sent his second son to meet His Majesty. The person in the leading carriage should be Duke Geng's second son, Feng Zhidai!"
Pang Feiji cupped his fists and answered.
"Duke Geng? Who is Duke Geng? "
Li Zexuan frowned and asked.
He had heard of the few Dukes in Tang Dynasty, but he had never heard of one called Duke Geng.
Pang Feiji was sweating. He looked around and explained to Li Zexuan softly, "Marquis, Duke Geng is the chief of Lingnan, Feng Ang!"
"Feng Ang, chief of Lingnan!"
Li Zexuan muttered and suddenly realized. His expression changed slightly and he asked softly, "Do you know why Feng Ang sent his son to Chang 'an?"
Although Pang Feiji was no longer working in the Wu Hou government, he still frequently looked for his former colleagues to drink. Thus, he was still relatively well-informed. He looked around, then went to Li Zexuan's side and whispered:
"Marquis, in April this year, the provincial governors of Lingnan accused the chief of Gaozhou, Feng Ang, of gathering troops to rebel. Duke Geng must be sending his son to the court to show his loyalty to His Majesty?"
