Chapter 44 This grandson is a genius!
Several people were stunned when they heard this. What is going on? How can they still raise prices?
"Mr. Qi, what do you mean by this? We didn't make any mistakes today, did we?"
"That's right. I was very good today. I almost finished my homework. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Yunxi expressed their dissatisfaction one after another, and the other two young princes followed suit. Only Zhu Yunxi remained silent and stared at Qitai meaningfully, trying to get some clues from his face.
Zhu Yunxi instinctively felt that this was strange. He had just had a good chat with Mr. Qi outside, but suddenly a young eunuch came and turned bad.
If what he expected was correct, this little eunuch must be a bastard sent by Lao Zhu to convey Lao Zhu's malice!
Qitai looked at the confused, helpless and angry eyes of several people, and felt that his heart was full of guilt.
Your Majesty, if you want to lose face, you can't let me be regarded as a villain, right?
Although Qitai felt full of guilt towards several people, he still faithfully carried out the emperor's will.
"Zhu Zhi, your homework today is to recite the entire Gongye chapter of The Analects of Confucius."
"ah?"
"Mr. Qi, if you want me to die, just say so. How can you memorize so many words?"
Qi Tai said sarcastically upon hearing this.
"It's not much. The whole story of Gongye is only 869 words. It took me a while to memorize it."
"Zhu Zhen, you memorize the political chapter."
"Zhu Song, you carry eight hundred."
"Zhu Yunzhen, you memorize all the surnames of hundreds of families."
"Zhu Yunxi, you..."
Qitai hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said.
“The entire Thousand Character Essay!”
After Qitai readjusted their homework, the faces of the five people changed drastically.
This is more than double what it was before. It can be three to five times less. Zhu Yunxi is the worst, it is ten times more!
"Sir, can you please be a little less..."
"no!"
"You guys are still the elders. Look at Zhu Yunxi. He doesn't even have too much. How dare you have too much?"
Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes and couldn't help complaining in his heart.
Is it useful to have too many?
This is obviously a bad old man who is looking for trouble, and there is definitely no way to hide from him.
"You have to study hard today. If you can't memorize it by heart before school is over, Jinyiwei's board is not a vegetarian!"
Qi Tai's last words made several people's hearts tremble, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Zhu Zhi and the other three princes understood as soon as they heard the word "Jinyiwei" that it came from their father.
Only Zhu Yunwen was still crying and wanted to negotiate the price, but how dare Qi Tai give him a pass?
Others passed it down orally, but this grandson only passed it down by hand. This shows that His Majesty still "loves" him more!
Several people returned to their seats with grimaces, and all of them endorsed it with concentration, no longer daring to play with the friends next to them.
Zhu Yunxi also worked hard and read the Thousand-Character Essay completely several times, then closed his eyes and recited silently, trying to see how much he could remember.
He didn't know whether it was because there were too many words or because his intelligence was really weak, but he found that he couldn't memorize a few sentences.
Zhu Yunxi tried it several times and found that he was really not good at reading. At this time, he felt sleepy, so he simply broke the jar and fell asleep on the book.
When Qi Tai saw Zhu Yunxi sleeping again, he secretly sighed in his heart: Rotten wood cannot be carved, nor can a wall of dung be demolished.
Anyway, he has fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher, and the rest is up to the students themselves.
During the first lesson of Shen Shi, the people in charge of executions from Jinyiwei came to the main hall and sat under the porch of the main hall waiting to beat people.
When Zhu Zhi and other princes saw these people appearing, they didn't remember much of the article, but they were so frightened that they forgot most of it.
Zhu Yunxuan was even worse. His tears didn't stop. He was crying while endorsing the book, which made several people around him so annoyed that they wanted to throw him out.
Only Zhu Yunxi was very calm and kept sleeping on the table.
Erhu originally wanted to let things go, but when he saw Zhu Yunxi being so indulgent, he was so angry that he couldn't help but rub his hands.
He decided that he must teach his grandson a lesson today and let him know what "high hopes" means!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qi Tai immediately called Zhu Zhi's name.
When Zhu Zhi heard his name being called, his face turned pale with fright. Then he stood up and stumblingly recited the words. He only got stuck after less than half of the words.
Normally, Qi Tai would definitely praise Zhu Zhi because the child had tried his best and performed very well.
However, with the emperor's orders on his side today, he could only say sorry to Zhu Zhi in his heart.
"Unqualified!"
"Drag him down and hit twenty boards again!"
Erhu was waiting for these words. When he heard Mr. Qi's words, he immediately called two people to drag His Highness Fifteenth to the corridor and pin him down on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the main hall.
The other two princes became even more panicked when they heard the pitiful cries. They could not read the book anymore. Even what they had remembered before was so frightened that they forgot everything.
Not to mention Zhu Yunzhen, he was so frightened that he peed his pants when he saw how badly his fifteenth uncle was beaten.
"Zhu Chu!"
"Sir, why do you ask me first? Zhu Yunxi is still sleeping. Why don't you ask him?"
"He has the most words, so of course you have to ask him last!"
"I……"
Zhu Ming was speechless by Qi Tai's words, and he murmured for a long time.
"Sir, don't worry about taking the test. I'd better go straight to the plate!"
Zhu Ming was a bachelor. After saying this, he walked to the corridor and lay down on the ground waiting to be beaten.
Because Jinyiwei was established by a certain Erhu who did not want to be named, everyone from top to bottom has a tigerish attitude, and they respect tough guys the most.
When the two guards in charge of the execution saw Zhu Zhen being so single, they immediately felt a hero's pity. They raised the board high and gently lowered it.
Although they didn't dare to let things go blatantly, they could still make Zhu Min suffer less.
When it was Zhu Song's turn, Zhu Song tried it with luck.
Unfortunately, he memorized a few words incorrectly and was still dragged out and beaten.
This frightened the princes who were watching the excitement and hurriedly prepared their endorsements before the battle.
When it was Zhu Yunxu's turn, Zhu Yunxu was so impressive that he could memorize most of the hundreds of Chinese surnames.
就连齐泰都觉得,揍这小子有点冤得慌.但没办法,陛下最疼爱此人,不揍他何以平陛下之怒?
Ever since, Zhu Yunzhen was also dragged down by Jin Yiwei.
Now only Zhu Yunxi was left. Qi Tai walked up to Zhu Yunxi with great interest and kicked the leg of his table.
"Zhu Yunxi, it's your turn to endorse!"
"Zhu Yunxi?"
"Zhu Yunxi!"
Qitai kept calling for the third time, and then Zhu Yunxi raised his head in confusion.
"Zhu Yunxi, if you are not sure, just go outside and lie down and be punished. I happen to be too lazy to ask."
Qi Tai said these words and turned around to leave, but suddenly he heard Zhu Yunxi's unconvinced voice coming from behind him.
"Don't bother me!"
"You can at least let me try. If I memorize it wrong, it won't be too late to get beaten!"
When Qi Tai heard this, he looked Zhu Yunxi up and down, wondering where his grandson got such confidence.
"good!"
"Then you start from the beginning!"
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arranged..."
As Zhu Yunxi recited more and more words, Qitai's mouth opened wider and wider.
Regardless of whether it is accurate or not, just saying that he recited it fluently is worthy of his praise.
When the other princes saw this, they quickly took out the Thousand-Character Book and compared it. They found that their reading speed was not as fast as the grandson's reciting speed, and they were immediately shocked by the grandson's ability.
"Wow, it's five hundred words..."
"Seven hundred words..."
"Nine hundred words..."
"Oh my god, he actually memorized the Thousand-Character Essay!"
Compared to the shock of the princes, Qitai was even more shocked.
This grandson only looked at it a few times in total, but he actually memorized a thousand-character article word for word?
Could it be that this grandson is a genius and he has been pretending to be stupid all these years in order to protect himself?
The more Qi Tai thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he even found the reason why Zhu Yunxi didn't like reading.
Zhu Yunxi doesn't like reading. He doesn't want to steal the limelight from the emperor's eldest grandson and arouse the emperor's eldest grandson's jealousy!
This child has been burdened with so much at such a young age. He is so sensible that it makes people feel bad. He is so sensible that it makes people want to cry. Woo hoo hoo...
