Happy Little Scholar

The children of the family were deliberately made difficult by Li Yi, the director of the Academy of Mathematics. After learning about this, the first reaction of these powerful officials was naturally anger.

There were 200 children of officials who took the exam this time. Why didn't they make things difficult for others, but for them?

It was so blatant and unscrupulous, and it was clear that they didn't take them seriously.

Even if this Li County Earl had the favor of His Majesty, there were many people with the favor of His Majesty. Which one of them was not cautious and treading on thin ice, and it was the first time they saw such a proud person relying on the favor.

However, anger was anger, although it was a bit embarrassing, but this matter was not a bad thing for them.

He broke the rules so much that even His Majesty could not protect and indulge him without limit. At that time, everyone would collectively make trouble in the court, and perhaps they could have more bargaining chips in the Academy of Mathematics.

However, no one expected that Li Yi, the Li County Earl, would admit his mistakes so sincerely.

No resistance, no excuses, I am wrong, I resign. Compared with those who make mistakes and then walk around, speak sweetly, and try every possible way to avoid disaster, Li Xianbo is simply a role model for court officials.

But why can't I help but want to curse?

Why did His Majesty set up a separate academy of mathematics outside the Imperial College? Why is Li Xianbo the director of the academy instead of others? Because in the entire Jing Kingdom, except for him, no one understands new mathematics!

If he resigns, this academy of mathematics will be opened!

Looking at the people standing in front who were impeaching Li Xianbo just now but now became speechless, many court officials sighed in their hearts.

Li Xianbo obviously didn't care about the position of the director of the academy of mathematics. The reason why today's incident happened was because of their impeachment a few days ago. How similar was the court on that day to today...

Now it's good, his attitude is also very clear, either you go or I go, you can impeach slowly, I'll go back first...

And everyone also has a strange feeling, he seems to be looking forward to resigning?

The corner of Emperor Jing's eye twitched, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said: "So, you admit that you deliberately made things difficult for the candidates?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "That set of test papers is used by me to select students with strong mathematical talents. I have hope for these students. If they can solve one of the questions, I will definitely enroll them in the Mathematical Academy and train them seriously..., I didn't think it through. I didn't expect that this move would cause such serious consequences. I have no face to stay in the Mathematical Academy. Please allow me to resign."

These words were extremely sincere, and the officials naturally didn't believe it.

It was really a coincidence that the people who got the difficult questions were all people who had offended him. Who would believe that this was not revenge!

But they couldn't expose it even if they didn't believe it.

If Li Xianbo resigned, what would be the meaning of the Mathematical Academy? Who would train excellent mathematical talents for the country?

Wouldn't it be that the children of their families who had been admitted to the Mathematical Academy had taken the exam in vain?

At this time, a doctor from the Imperial College suddenly stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Li is also eager to recruit talents, and everything is for our Jingguo. If he is punished for this, wouldn't it make the court officials feel disappointed?"

"Lord Han is right, Lord Li cannot be blamed for this." Immediately, another official from the Imperial College stood up.

Once there is no mathematics academy, the burden will be on their shoulders, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"Your Majesty, I second the motion." Another official walked out, "Lord Li is wholeheartedly enthusiastic and recruits talents for the country. What crime has he committed?"

There were suddenly many more voices in the court. Those court officials advised and remonstrated one after another, and their opinions were surprisingly consistent. Li County Earl was right. He wanted to select high-level talents for the country. Is this wrong?

Before going to court, they had already seen the list of the hundred mathematics academy students, and their own sons and nephews were on the list.

The Academy of Mathematics is a good place. The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and many other key departments in the court are short of mathematical talents. Your Majesty attaches so much importance to the newly established Academy of Mathematics. I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be some reforms in the court. By then, those who come out of the Academy of Mathematics will be popular. At this time, how can the Dean of the Academy of Mathematics resign?

The wind direction suddenly changed in the court. Those who had just impeached Li Yi retreated silently and never spoke again.

Obviously, neither the court officials nor the Majesty thought that the playboys of several families were more important than the Dean of the Academy of Mathematics.

In other words, they were sure to suffer this loss.

…

…

"What a retreat to advance." Qin Xiang walked out of the palace gate and said with admiration.

"But what about Feng'er?" A man beside Prime Minister Qin hesitated and said, "It has been arranged. When he comes out of the Academy of Mathematics..."

Prince Qin waved his hand and said, "The list has been posted. How can it be changed easily? What will the poor scholars who have finally passed the entrance examination to the Academy of Mathematics think? What will the people of the world think?"

The man was speechless and punched the wall beside him fiercely, saying, "How can he be so blatant?"

"I'm afraid that there is also the intention of His Majesty..." Prime Minister Qin looked into the distance, muttered, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The man stayed where he was, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Does Li Xianbo really not care about the position of the Academy Supervisor?" The courtiers walked out of the hall, and an official asked in confusion.

"This is a retreat to advance." A man next to him said casually, "Even if he really resigns, will His Majesty agree? In addition to Li Xianbo, who else can be qualified for that position?"

"The Qin family, Chen family and Cui family are unlucky this time." The official sighed and said, "The Chen family and the Li family have had grudges for a long time, and the young master of the Qin family and Li County Lord are also enemies. As for the Cui family, it seems that I have never heard of any grudges between them and Li County Lord... In short, don't provoke Li County Lord in the future."

"Don't you see it clearly?" The man next to him suddenly looked at him.

"What?" The official looked puzzled.

"King of Shu." The man lowered his voice and said, "King of Shu is the cause of all this."

The official was stunned for a while, and his face suddenly changed, "It's impossible... He is so young and has no background. How can he participate in such a big event? What's more, I have never heard of him and a certain..."

"I heard that His Majesty will put several princes in the Academy of Mathematics to study together..."

Hearing this news, the official's voice suddenly stopped, as if he thought of something terrible, and his face turned a little pale.

"Jin..."

He has no background, and His Majesty is his biggest background. This time he deliberately targeted the powerful officials who were close to the King of Shu. His Majesty didn't care and just brushed the matter off with one sentence, which made the court officials start to doubt which one of the King of Shu and Li Xianbo was His Majesty's biological son...

No matter who it is, those who participate in the fight for the throne generally have no good end, provided that they can bet on the right person.

The Qin family, the Cui family, the Chen family, and some powerful officials, big and small, obviously bet on the King of Shu.

And Li Xianbo, who was favored by the emperor to an exaggerated degree, was terrified when he thought about it carefully.

Before this, all officials almost fought for the quota of the Academy of Calculation, which shows its importance.

However, for some unspeakable reasons, Li Xianbo, as the dean of the Academy of Calculation, excluded all those who had a relationship with the King of Shu from the Academy of Calculation.

A certain official suddenly realized that he seemed to have discovered something very extraordinary.
