Hearing this, Li Chengyou twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Ling Yun with an expression of hatred for steel. He thought that he had just spent a lot of time and words, but it had no effect at all. He didn't expect this brat to be so stubborn.
"Yun'er, what did my teacher tell you? The results of the palace examination will not be announced to the public until tomorrow. In other words, we will have to wait until tomorrow to know whether he is the top scholar in this subject. Why are you kid so disobedient?"
Seeing that Li Chengyou didn't believe him, Ling Yun couldn't help but raise his voice and continued, "Master, what my disciple said is the truth. My disciple is really the number one scholar in this class. I will save you from the number one scholar in this class who was hand-picked on the spot..."
Li Chengyou became furious on the spot and said, "What nonsense, you kid, you're making me angry!"
Mrs. Li stood up but hesitated to speak.
Ling Yun instantly grimaced, with mixed feelings in his heart, but he still insisted on what he said, "Master, everything my disciple said is true."
Li Chengyou was shaking with anger and said in a trembling voice, "You are simply unreasonable!"
After saying that, he shouted outside, "Yang Ergou."
Yang Er rushed in, glanced at the red-faced Ling Yun, slowly looked away, and then carefully looked at the furious Li Chengyou, and whispered, "Li... Master Li, are you looking for me?"
Li Chengyou glared at Ling Yun and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Then he looked at Yang Ergou and said impatiently, "Take your young master back to the room and keep an eye on him. Don't let him go out and talk nonsense."
Yang Ergou looked at Ling Yun again and hesitated, "This..."
Seeing Yang Ergou's hesitation, Li Chengyou said angrily again, "What the hell, are you going to disobey me?"
Yang Ergou had been standing outside just now. He could hear him scolding his young master from a distance. Now he could feel his anger up close. Yang Ergou felt that his whole body was shaking, trembling, and even his tongue was shaking.
Some couldn't help but said, "Little... I don't dare."
After saying that, he looked at Ling Yun with an aggrieved look on his face. The latter sighed softly, and then glanced at Li Chengyou meaningfully. Unexpectedly, Li Chengyou was furious at this time, and when he saw his eyes, he looked over and snorted at him.
Ling Yun withdrew his gaze and said goodbye to the two of them.
"Ergou, let's go!"
After walking a few steps, Li Chengyou's voice came again, and he was heard saying, "Go back and reflect. If you don't understand, you are not allowed to leave the house."
Ling Yun, who was not far away, twitched the corner of his mouth and looked up to the sky with a long sigh.
After walking a long way, Yang Ergou, who was still frightened, glanced behind him, patted his chest, and asked in a low voice, "Master, Li... Master Li, why is he so angry? I usually see him calmly.
Yes, is there some misunderstanding?"
When Ling Yun heard this, he stopped immediately, turned around, looked into Yang Ergou's eyes and asked, "Ergou, do you believe me, young master?"
Yang Ergou didn't speak, he just nodded.
Seeing Yang Ergou's unwavering eyes, the depressed Ling Yun finally showed a trace of a smile.
"Ergou, if I say, young master, that I am the top scholar in this subject, would you believe it or not?"
Yang Ergou nodded heavily, no doubt and said, "Master, I believe it."
"Then tell me, master, why doesn't he believe in me, young master?"
"I don't know, little one."
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."
In the palace, Emperor Qianxi was sitting in his study room when Xiao Lizi trotted in in a hurry.
"His Majesty."
Emperor Qianxi raised his head and glanced at him, then quickly lowered his eyes and said absently, "Well, how did you do what I told you?"
Xiao Lizi patted the things in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, they are all here."
"Well, let's put it on the stage!"
After saying that, he lay down on the chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
"His Majesty…"
Little Li Zi tiptoed to the front of Emperor Qianxi. At this time, his eyes were complicated and he hesitated to speak, showing hesitation.
"What else do you want?"
"this…"
Emperor Qianxi felt that Xiao Lizi was hesitating, and he figured out that he had encountered some trouble. He closed his eyes and said, "Did you encounter some trouble while checking the files?"
"Your Majesty, I have never encountered any trouble, it's just..."
Emperor Qianxi suddenly emphasized his tone and said, "Little plum."
"Your Majesty, this servant is here!"
Emperor Qianxi paused for a moment and said slowly, "Tell me! What's the matter?"
Xiao Lizi squinted his eyes, secretly glanced at Emperor Qianxi, struggled in his mind, and then decided to say, "Your Majesty, it is actually about the number one scholar in Jinke."
"oh?"
Emperor Qianxi opened his eyes instantly, changed to a comfortable lying position, and slowly said, "Tell me everything you know."
Xiao Lizi received the permission, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, I just checked and found that the Number One Scholar is from Annan Province. He passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen, and he is also the head of the imperial court."
Emperor Qianxi murmured to himself, "Oh? The head of the Thirteen-year-old Mansion has quite good qualifications."
"Your Majesty, you are not only the head of the government, but also the Jieyuan of Annan Province. The number one scholar also passed the provincial examination in the same year and became the Jieyuan of that year."
"What?"
Emperor Qianxi screamed, his expression moved, he was obviously shocked.
Staring at Xiao Lizi, he said seriously, "Xiao Lizi, are you telling me that Ling Yun, that kid, is a province-level Jie Yuan at the age of thirteen?"
Before Xiao Lizi could reply, Emperor Qianxi picked up the file on the imperial platform and looked at it carefully, with a shocked expression on his face.
Emperor Qianxi took a breath, tsked twice, and then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, thirteen-year-old Jie Yuan is such a good boy. I said, that boy is extraordinary. Now I don't see what else they have." objection."
Emperor Qianxi was in a particularly happy mood, and the gloom in his heart suddenly disappeared. He snorted twice and said, "Little Lizi, did Yang He look through it when you got the file?"
Xiao Lizi blurted out, "Your Majesty, I only checked it after I got it. Before that, I followed Mr. Yang all the way and never started to look through it."
"Okay, excellent. I see how he explains this time. He actually dares to question my decision in public. I really don't know what to say."
When Xiao Lizi saw this, he flattered him non-stop and said, "Your Majesty is really a sharp and discerning eye. He can tell who is the number one scholar among three hundred people at a glance... This slave is so impressed that he is in admiration."
Emperor Qianxi stroked his beard and laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, you slave."
Xiao Lizi stood there and kept giggling.
After the joy, Emperor Qianxi said again, "Xiao Lizi, why did that boy Lingyun not come to participate in the examination four years ago? According to the practice of previous years, a province Jieyuan should not not participate in the examination. Could there be some accident? ?”
Emperor Qianxi thought about it, but still felt something was wrong. If Lingyun participated in the examination, would there be a thirteen-year-old number one scholar in the Qian Dynasty? No matter what, he would be a Jinshi.
