"This … Who can answer this?" In the side hall, the mathematics professors of the Imperial College looked at each other with a test paper in their hands.
County Uncle Li's attainments in mathematics were something that they could only look up to. He was also the supervisor of the College of Mathematics. The admission test was completed by him alone, so the mathematics department of the Imperial College could not intervene. However, if anything happened, the students would come to them first, not County Uncle Li …
They were confused by this test paper. It would be an exaggeration to say that they were confused. In fact, they had no clue about the answers, let alone the students.
If the students were to cause trouble, it would be troublesome.
"Young masters, you can't go in. Please allow me to inform them first." There was a commotion outside the door. Qin Feng, Chen Lisen, and the others waved away the servants at the door and strode in.
"What's the matter?" A mathematics professor looked at them and asked.
Qin Feng and Chen Lisen's status in their respective families was slightly lower than that of Young Duke Qin and Young Duke Chen. However, these dozen people added up together could not be underestimated.
"We need an explanation about this test paper." The one who spoke was Chen Lisen. His words were filled with a strong sense of questioning.
Before they came in, they had already asked the others. Although most of the test papers were different, the difficulty was almost the same. Some only changed a few numbers. However, when it came to them, the questions were extremely difficult. More than a dozen people added up together could not even solve one question.
"What test …"
The mathematics professor said. As if he thought of something, his body suddenly shook and a look of shock appeared on his face.
He suddenly turned around and pulled a test paper over. He asked, "Is this your test paper?"
"Yes!" After Chen Lisen looked at it, he nodded and said, "I would like to ask, why is it that the difficulty of everyone's test is the same, but only our test is so difficult? I would like to ask for an explanation."
Professor Han looked at the dozen people in front of him …
The second son of Duke Chen, Chen Lisen, Qin Feng, Cui Xixin, and the son of Assistant Minister Li from the Ministry of Works, Li Jianren …
Why are these names so familiar?
Professor Han opened his mouth but found that he had no words to refute them.
It's already so obvious. What's the point of explaining? You don't even know that you're already very lucky to be able to participate in the exam today. Do you really think you can get into the Mathematics Academy?
One of them lacks earth of the five elements, one of them has a flawed character, and one of them is a lunatic … How can such people enter the School of Divination? Who gave you the confidence to do so?
With Li County Earl here, even your names are wrong!
"I can't explain this to you …" Professor Han said helplessly.
Not far away, Chang De, who had already noticed the abnormality, walked over with a frown …
…
…
Princess Shouning probably lacked a childhood. She could even yell and scream when she was fishing, let alone when she saw the slide and the rocking car for the first time. Her eyes lit up.
Unfortunately, her luck didn't seem to be good. It had already been two hours, and even Yong Ning had caught a fish half the length of a finger with her small fishing rod. The arrogant Lolita still hadn't caught anything.
"If you're done playing, go back …" Li Yi walked out of a simple pergola and handed her a piece of iced watermelon. Although the weather wasn't hot and there was a small shelter above her head to shade her from the sun, her hair was still a little wet after sitting outside for two hours.
The arrogant Lolita handed the fishing rod to Li Yi and held the watermelon in her hands. She said in a muffled voice, "I want to change places. The Fengshui here isn't good, I can't catch fish!"
Li Yi lifted the fishing rod and looked at her, saying, "If you still insist on fishing with tanghulu, unless Manager Chang jumps down and personally hangs one for you, it's useless to change to another one."
He propped the fishing rod on the ground and looked at Chang De, who was walking over. "Is the exam over?"
"It's over." Chang De nodded his head and said, "The Directorate of Directorates will read through all the exam papers according to your answers before tomorrow and select the top one hundred."
The mathematics exam papers were different from the imperial examination papers. If they were right, they were right. If they were wrong, they were wrong. It was easy to grade them. Thus, the Emperor had ordered them to finish reading them within half a day and to have results the next day.
Chang De thought for a moment and said, "If you do this, you will offend many people."
Li Yi didn't seem to care at all. "If I don't do this, I won't offend them?"
Chang De thought about it. Li Yi had already offended the King of Shu, the Qin family, and the Chen family … so he was destined to stand on the opposite side of some people in the imperial court, no matter what he did or didn't do.
He suddenly didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said, "The Emperor said that you will settle the matters in the imperial court tomorrow yourself."
"What else?"
"Before the morning court, I will eat with the Emperor in the imperial garden."
After saying this, Chang De left. The proud Lolita used Yongning's fishing rod and finally caught the first fish in her life. She was so excited that she jumped up and down … Li Yi suddenly thought of something important and waved at Chang De, who had already mounted the horse.
"What else is there?" Chang De stopped the horse in time and looked at him and asked.
Li Yi hesitated and said, "That … Remember to tell the imperial chef not to cook the white fungus and lotus seed soup tomorrow. Won't the Emperor get tired of drinking it every day?"
"That's all you want to say?" Chang De's expression didn't look very good.
"Of course not." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Also, you must remind them not to put coriander in the soup …"
Swish!
Chang De whipped the horse. It let out a long neigh in pain and quickly disappeared from Li Yi's sight.
…
…
"How is Yongning's condition?"
Emperor Jing's complexion was good. At least his mood didn't seem to be that bad. He asked about Princess Yongning.
"Princess Yongning's heart has been closed for too long. These days, I have tried my best to let her come into contact with the outside world. It has been quite effective. I think she should be able to recover in two months."
Under the premise of treating the disease, fishing, watching the play, and chasing rabbits were all legitimate reasons.
"Has Shouning caused you trouble these days?" Emperor Jing had already drunk the second bowl of porridge and suddenly asked.
Li Yi shook his head and said against his will, "No, Princess Shouning is naive and lively. She still has a childish heart and is just a little playful. She didn't cause me any trouble …"
Only a fool would complain about his daughter in front of the old emperor. If the empress were to find out about this, it would really cause trouble for her.
Emperor Jing looked up at him and said, "You have caused me a lot of trouble …"
Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping. You have to concentrate on eating. Although Lao Chang is ugly, he is quite reliable. As expected, there is no coriander in the porridge today. The cook of the catering bureau is worthy of praise. When I leave later, I will take two cucumbers as a reward.
When he received a lot of memorials to impeach Li Yi, Emperor Jing understood what Chang De meant that day.
It was not rare for the officials to fight openly and covertly. Emperor Jing had seen this before, but this was the first time he had seen it so simply, directly, and so brazenly …
Li Yi was still the same Li Yi. No matter what he did, he would always be unexpected. He casually created such a big trouble for himself.
"I want to see if you can continue to be like this in court." Emperor Jing glanced at him, stood up, and said, "Prepare to go to court!"
He intended to let Li Yi feel what it was like to face the censure of so many officials alone … He hoped that this time, he could wear off some of his edge.
"No loyalty …"
Li Yi put down his chopsticks and sighed.
Wasn't it what the old emperor had been doing to weaken the power of Prime Minister Qin? Now, even among the people who would hold important positions in the Academy in the future, Prime Minister Qin could not even get a hair …
He was obviously happy in his heart, but now he blamed himself. Was there such a reason in the world?
