"Your Majesty, take a look. This Chen Lisen has the word 'Sen' in his name. He must be lacking wood in the five elements. Generally speaking, people who lack wood in the five elements are not good at mathematics."
"Also, this Qin Feng, Crazy Qin. Why does a lunatic want to learn mathematics? This name is inauspicious. He is not suitable to enter my Mathematics College."
"Also, this Cui Xixin likes the new and hates the old. My Mathematics College will naturally not accept such a person with bad conduct."
"And this Li Jianren …"
"What kind of mess is this? What kind of place do you think our Mathematical College is?"
…
…
Unexpectedly, he forgot to bring his notebook. Li Yi finally found it in the corner of the library and thought that he must put it in a conspicuous place next time.
Li Xuan was flabbergasted as he watched Li Yi pick out those people one by one. The Chancellor of the Directorate of Directorate and several mathematics professors were dumbfounded. Was this how the Divination Academy recruited students?
Those who lacked wood in the five elements would not be accepted. Those with inauspicious names — How was his name inauspicious? Qin Feng was Crazy Qin? Cui Xixin liked the new and hated the old. Was Li Jianren equal to Bitch Li?
His Majesty was here. Could this County Uncle Li dare to be more careless?
This was clearly revenge, naked revenge!
Among the Chen Family, Cui Family, Qin Family, and Assistant Minister Li's family of the Ministry of Works, which one of them was not inextricably linked to the King of Shu?
Of course, they had more in common. Because of the fight in the Imperial Palace, these families were the most active in impeaching County Uncle Li in the court.
At a certain moment, the Chancellor of the Directorate suddenly remembered that he seemed to be involved in this matter. Looking at County Uncle Li who was still picking out people one by one, he could not help but feel a chill from the bottom of his spine.
Emperor Jing's face was full of astonishment. He looked at Li Yi and said, "Be serious!"
If he really used such an absurd reason to select students, the court would definitely be in an uproar. Thinking of the involvement of so many courtiers, even Emperor Jing himself felt a headache.
When the Chancellor of the Directorate heard this, he was even more shocked. County Uncle Li was so frivolous about such an important matter, but the Emperor only said such a sentence. If it was any other courtier, their heads would be jumping on their necks.
At this moment, he was even more certain that County Uncle Li could not be offended!
Li Yi sighed and thought that this method would not work. He said, "Actually, if we want to see if they have talent in mathematics, we only need to conduct a test on them before they enter the academy. Whether they are from a poor family or a noble official, as long as they meet the age requirement of twenty, they can all sign up. At that time, we only need to select the top one hundred according to their results."
Jing Di nodded his head. This method was to his liking. In recent years, he had deliberately supported the poor and weakened the aristocratic families. Li Yi's action did not differentiate between the poor and the noble, which was to his liking.
"That's right. I will have someone put up a notice outside. Those who meet the requirements can register. Ten days later, there will be an examination, and the best will be admitted."
At that moment, Li Xuan stepped forward and said, "Uncle Huang, the Science Academy is different from the Mathematics Academy. You can't just recruit young people."
Emperor Jing nodded and said, "You are the Academy Supervisor. You can decide these things yourself."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask if the academy's enrollment …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "You can decide everything except enrollment."
If he were to decide the candidates, there would be a storm in the court. The Qin, Chen, and Cui families, and even half of the court would be disturbed by him.
Li Yi thought that they were all surnamed Li, but the difference in treatment was too great. He could only nod and said, "I will follow your orders. I will come up with the examination questions as soon as possible. Your Majesty, please send someone to the Li family to make a copy in a few days. In order to keep it confidential, let them go back to the palace after the examination."
For the poor students, this was a rare opportunity. He was afraid that the number of applicants would reach a very terrifying level. After coming up with the questions, he still had to ask someone to make a copy. Of course, he could not complete such a heavy workload by himself.
"Then let's do as you say." Unexpectedly, he had even considered this. Emperor Jing nodded and looked at the people of the Imperial College. He said, "The establishment of the Mathematics Academy has been completed. The Mathematics Department of the Imperial College will be temporarily merged into the Mathematics Academy. You and County Magistrate Li will discuss the specific matters after the merger."
"I will follow your orders!"
Several mathematics doctors immediately responded and breathed a long sigh of relief.
This was good. In a short time, with County Magistrate Li at the top, there should be nothing wrong with his head …
Not long after, several people walked out of the palace one after another. Emperor Jing slowly stood up and said, "He really makes me worry. Things in the court are not as simple as he thinks …"
When he walked out of the palace, he murmured, "It is not the time yet. The court cannot be in chaos …"
Chang De's expression was a little complicated. Finally, he could not help but say, "Your Majesty, do you really think he has given up?"
Emperor Jing looked back at him. Chang De shook his head and said, "Although I don't know what he will do, I am sure that this time, the Qin family, the Chen family, the Cui family … and the King of Shu will not have anyone enter the Mathematics Academy."
"— —"
…
…
As for County Magistrate Li, who was about to become their Superior, several mathematics doctors naturally tried to flatter him after they left the palace. However, this young Superior was not moved at all. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were afraid that their days in the future would not be easy …
However, the Imperial College had a deep foundation. As long as they learned the new mathematics well, they could ask the ministers in the court to advise them and return to the Imperial College.
The mathematics doctors naturally did not believe that Prince Jin, who was only ten years old, was better than all of them. It was just that they had not been exposed to the new mathematics. What talent? It must be that County Magistrate Li deliberately flattered His Majesty …
"Sister Shouning, I will miss you!"
In a luxurious carriage, Yong Ning opened the curtain and waved to Princess Shouning. She said in a soft voice.
Although they could not see from the carriage, they could guess that the arrogant Lolita's face must be ugly now. It was better not to provoke her.
It did not take long for the carriage to start slowly. There were four old men in gray following them. There was also one in the corner of the carriage. He closed his eyes and kept a straight face, looking very skilled.
In order to not let the entire capital know that the little princess had left the palace, the old Emperor only sent these five people to protect her. Presumably, their martial arts skills were not bad. Of course, the serving maids and the dozens of palace guards were already waiting for her at home.
The carriage started slowly. The arrogant Lolita stood there with a face full of dissatisfaction. Li MIngzhu touched her head and said, "If you want to leave the palace, we will go find them tomorrow."
"Hmph, I don't care!" Princess Shouning curled her lips and shook her head. She glared at the carriage that had already gone far away and walked forward angrily.
After a while, she walked back again. She lowered her head and kicked the ground with her feet. She asked, "What time tomorrow?"
…
…
When their Lord Jue walked in from outside with a five or six-year-old girl in his arms, the servants of the Li family finally knew what kind of guest they had prepared for these days.
Other than looking a little cute, there was nothing special about this girl. Why did Lord Jue treat her so well? Could it be …
After the servants of the Li family bowed and greeted him, they began to make wild guesses. Li Yi had already walked into the inner courtyard with Yong Ning in his arms.
"Young Master, whose family is this girl? She is so beautiful …" Fang walked over and asked curiously.
An old man in gray followed behind Li Yi and was about to step in when Fang suddenly reached out and said, "You can't go in here."
The old man frowned but did not say anything. He reached out and pressed his hand on the shoulder of the man blocking the way. He found that the man did not move at all.
"Aiya, do you still want to fight?"
Fang rolled up his sleeves. He had learned a few moves from Second Great Uncle a few days ago. This old man seemed to be quite strong. It was a good time to spar with him.
A strange look flashed in the old man's eyes. He pushed forward lightly. Fang staggered back a few steps and fell on his butt.
The old man glanced at the courtyard again. He stood at the entrance like a wooden pillar and did not walk in.
"Ruyi, you must remember what Grandmother told you last time."
As the old mistress spoke, she pulled Ruyi's hand and walked out from inside. When she saw Li Yi in the courtyard, she was stunned for a moment. She quickly walked over with a hint of joy on her old face. She gently pinched Yong Ning's little face and asked Li Yi, "Whose family is this girl? She is so beautiful!"
Li Yi touched his nose and said, "Her Majesty's family …"
