Li Mancang roared angrily: "Who will look down on you if you don't study? Look at all the people in our neighborhood, who has ever looked at us seriously? If we don't study, it will only make these people look down on us even more."

Li Xun smiled bitterly, not wanting to quarrel with him, but he secretly thought in his heart, we are from mud-legged backgrounds, no matter how good we are at reading, will the contempt, disdain and ridicule from the hearts of those high-ranking officials and nobles disappear?

Five years passed very quickly, and Li Xun felt happy and unhappy at the same time. The happy thing was that since he met his aunt, he no longer had to worry about eating, drinking, and eating. Especially because of Li Yi, Zhao Zhi would be there during the New Year and holidays.

Li Mancang was given various amounts of land and money as rewards. Over the past few years, not counting gold and silver, Li Mancang already owned tens of thousands of acres of land alone. This aroused the jealousy of some ministers, who wrote several letters to advise the emperor.

Zhao Zhi, however, was told by Zhao Zhi that "this is my family matter, and the rewards are all from the internal treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and have nothing to do with the foreign dynasty, and you are not allowed to interfere."

Li Mancang was originally an honest and kind-hearted person, dull and talkative. After learning about this incident, he became even more cautious. He lived in seclusion on weekdays and was extremely low-key and careful in his work. He was also very strict with Li Xun, and no matter where he went, people would be around him.

He followed and set many rules for Li Xun. He was not allowed to go to brothels or casinos. He was not allowed to speak foul language. He was respectful and courteous to officials. He was not allowed to speak arrogant words. If he dared to violate it, he would be punished by family law. Li Xun did not take it seriously at first.

Things are going on, I still go my own way, but after being severely beaten several times by Li Mancang, I have become more honest and don't dare to mess around anymore. After all, in this era, it is not illegal for a father to beat his children to death according to family law. Li Mancang is so

Just let Li Xun understand that I am not joking with you, please be honest with me.

Unfortunately, during a family dinner, when Li Mancang and Li Yi were chatting, they mentioned that Li Xun was uneducated and illiterate and wanted him to study. Li Yi agreed with his brother's idea and opened a back door for Li Xun.

Let him be Zhao Xun's companion, and stay together in the palace to listen to the lectures of great Confucian scholars.

Li Xun didn't object at the time, thinking that it was just studying and just messing around. Unfortunately, he didn't know that as a prince, Zhao Xun was more likely to become a prince in the future. How important and serious his study regulations were. When Li Xun discovered

By then, it was too late to regret it. From then on, the miserable life began. Every day before dawn, I had to enter the palace. After having breakfast with Zhao Xun, I immediately rushed to a side room next to Jinmo Palace.

Waiting for the arrival of the master, and then began to study dull and serious until dusk, before leaving after class. Moreover, Li Yi was also very strict with Li Xun. Unless he was sick and couldn't get out of bed, he was not allowed to take leave and skip classes.

Li Xun was walking on the street, yawning and walking listlessly towards the palace. Behind him were two men in their thirties, with dark skin and strong builds.

Li Xun said without looking back: "Dahei, Erhei, I am in a good mood today. I will give you a day off. You can go and play by yourself. Don't follow me."

"The master has said that he will watch the young master enter the palace and guard outside the palace. We will go home together at night. If there is any accident, thirty people will be there to take care of him."

The speaker has a white spot on his face. He is Dahei.

Erhei also said in a naive manner: "Young master, it will hurt a lot if you hit me with a 30-year-old bat. Please don't embarrass us."

Da Hei and Er Hei had a very miserable background. After being recruited into the mansion as servants by Li Mancang, they seemed to have entered heaven. They were full of awe towards Li Mancang and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

Li Xun turned around, took out a few taels of silver, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm already familiar with the way to the palace. If you don't lose it, here are a few taels of silver. Take it and go play by yourself.

I can take care of myself."

Li Xun was smiling on his face, but he was crying in his heart. The master bribed his servants, but no one dared to believe him.

Dahei and Erhei shook their heads and said at the same time: "We can't ask for the young master's money."

Li Xun had a serious face and said angrily: "You are afraid of the old man, aren't you afraid of me? I will tell you to get out when you get back."

Dahei and Erhei suddenly turned pale, with tears streaming down their faces. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed. They were extremely honest and honest people, and at this moment they could not even say a word of mercy.

"I'm just joking, I won't really drive you away. Get up quickly."

Li Xun just spoke angrily, but when he saw the two of them acting like this, he sighed deeply, helped them up, turned around, and continued to walk listlessly towards the palace.

Li Xun has the token given by Li Yi and can enter the palace unimpeded, while Dahei and Erhei can only wait outside the city gate. They have been waiting for a whole day. They are also honest. What did Li Mancang say?

What it is, everyone holds two steamed buns in their arms, and they stay here without leaving, not daring to leave even half a step.

As Zhao Xun's companion, of course Li Xun couldn't go to Jinmo Hall alone. When he arrived at Deshun Hall, Zhao Xun got up a little late today and was having breakfast at the moment.

Generally, when the princes of the Jin Dynasty reach the age of thirteen or fourteen, except for the crown prince, they have to move to live outside the palace. After they reach the crown, they will be granted the title of king and build a mansion.

As for Zhao Xun, because of his relationship with Li Yi, he received special favor from Zhao Zhi. He was crowned king at the age of ten, and after receiving the crown, he still lived in the palace.

After Zhao Xun had finished his breakfast, the two of them came to Jinmo Palace. A white-haired old man over seventy years old was standing quietly outside the palace door with his hands behind his back.

This old man is called Wang Anjiu. He is in his seventy-eighth year. Although he is old, he is indeed very knowledgeable and is a world-famous scholar. Zhao Xun has worshiped him as his teacher since he was crowned king and studied the Four Books and Five Classics as well as the Emperor's Law.

Dao, it has been ten years now.

Li Xun glanced at Wang Anjiu and saw that his expression was gloomy and serious, with a stern face. His heart suddenly sank, and his left hand started to hurt slightly.

Zhao Xun walked along the stone steps to Wang Anjiu, bowed his hands and said, "Disciple has met the teacher."

Li Xun was just a companion, Wang Anjiu was not his master, so Li Xun did not need to bow as a master, he just bowed slightly.

Wang Anjiu looked directly at Zhao Xun and said with a serious face: "Sincerity is the foundation of life, theory and theory are the first priority in studying. Your Majesty has entrusted His Highness to me, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. Even with Neo-Confucianism and Your Highness, King Qi

Why is Your Highness late today?"

Zhao Xun bowed and said, "My disciple felt a little cold yesterday and felt a little tired. He got up a little late today. Please don't blame me, Teacher."

"In ancient times, there was a hanging beam to stab the buttocks, but now there is Meng Yi who never leaves his book. Your Highness, King Qi, this is not the reason for you to be late."

Wang Anjiu scolded him and did not give Zhao Xun, His Highness the King of Qi, any face at all.

Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "What the teacher said is that once the disciple realizes his mistake, he will never dare to do it again in the future."

Wang Anjiu nodded and put his hand down from behind, holding a wooden ruler in his hand.

"If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Just stretch out your hand."

Zhao Xun looked at Li Xun who was standing aside. The latter had a bitter expression on his face. Zhao Xun was the King of Qi, the emperor's biological son. He was so noble. Naturally, Wang Anjiu couldn't beat him, but he must be punished if he made mistakes. Since he couldn't

To punish yourself, you can only let others get through with it. As Li Xun, as a companion, who else will he take the blame for?

Li Xun stretched out his left hand with a slight trembling, and looked at Wang Anjiu nervously. Although this man was old, he was not ambiguous at all in his attacks.
