A group of people stood respectfully in the courtyard, saluting him in unison.
They are all old acquaintances, the dandy disciples of Ganjingzhuang Academy.
Among them were the fourth son of the emperor Li Sujie, the seventh son of the emperor Li Xian, and the unsatisfactory sons and grandsons of the courtiers.
Li Qinzai looked around at everyone, his cheeks twitching uncontrollably.
The mental outlook of this group of disciples seems not to be very good. No, we cannot say that the mental outlook is bad, the real appearance is even worse.
Except for the two princes, almost everyone had some swelling and bruises on their faces. The most obvious bruises were those of the Qibi family.
One of Qibuzhen's eyes was swollen to only a slit, the circles under her eyes were completely black, and her left cheek was so swollen that even the slightest movement made her gasp in pain...
Li Qinzai sighed sadly.
What the hell, I, Li Qinzai’s disciples, don’t want to be romantic and handsome, everyone is like a dragon, at least don’t act like a bunch of incompetent scholars who were beaten by gangsters, right?
All of them have bruised noses and swollen faces, as if they have been chased by enemies for hundreds of miles. Can you not cause trouble for the New Year?
"You guys..." Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched and he sighed, "Did you just get extorted of your pocket money outside the door?"
As the squad leader, Li Sujie said with lingering fear: "Reporting to Sir, the elders of all the disciples have received the transcripts and final comments sent by Sir, and then... they became like this."
Li Qinzai suddenly realized that he couldn't help but burst out: "You deserve it!"
Slowly glancing at everyone, Li Qinzai sneered: "Continue to mess around, continue to fool sir, I have already told you the consequences. If you don't take it seriously, retribution will come, right? Ha!"
The dandies all bowed their heads and endured the scolding, their smug looks more ridiculous than the bruises on their faces.
Li Qinzai looked at Li Sujie and Li Xian in a blink of an eye and said, "Your grades are not that good either, so why didn't you get beaten?"
Li Xian looked gloating: "My father and mother will not beat me. The Tian family does not have the habit of beating their children."
Li Qinzai said slowly: "Habits can be cultivated slowly. I will persuade your father and mother later. Although what is promoted in the school is unfair, when it comes to being beaten, it is best for everyone to be fair."
The two princes, who had been gloating about his misfortune, suddenly looked miserable and looked at Li Qinzai with pleading expressions.
Li Qinzai was unmoved. He looked around at the crowd and said, "I remember that the last one is Han Shangshu's grandson? He won't have to come next spring. The last one will be eliminated. What he says is true."
Li Sujie said cautiously: "Han Shangshu heard that his grandson was the last in the family and beat him until he was bedridden. I really can't congratulate my husband..."
Li Qinzai nodded, but Qibizhen, who was in the most serious condition, suddenly grinned and then breathed in pain.
"His brother-in-law! It turns out I'm not the worst one! Haha! Hiss"
After hearing this, all the dandies thought, after being beaten, they were indeed not the worst offender. Neither was they beaten the worst, nor would they be expelled, so everyone started to gloat.
Li Qinzai shook his head secretly, these bastards were not only bastards, they were simply scum.
Li Sujie remembered something at this time, so he bowed and said: "Disciple, I congratulate you on your knighthood. Your knowledge is extraordinary and your knighthood is just right for you."
Everyone congratulated together.
Li Qinzai waved his hand: "I don't need to say congratulations. I just want to ask, have you brought any gifts? Once you have brought them, hand them to the housekeeper and then leave. If you don't bring any gifts, go home and prepare to bring them. People who don't know etiquette,
You will taste the consequences next semester...":.
Everyone felt a chill running down their spines and hurriedly said in unison that they should be taken away.
There was another noise at the door. Xue Na walked in and saw Li Qinzai in the front yard. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Brother Jingchu is finally back. Haha, come on. I booked a pavilion in Cuiyuan. I think it's to congratulate you."
I’m a knight, and I won’t come home until I’m drunk today!”
Gao Qi, who was following Xue Ne, said dissatisfiedly: "Xue, tell me clearly. I also have a share in the pavilion. We each contributed half of the money..."
Xue Ne paused, put his hand to his ear, and listened, "What did you call me?"
Gao Qi hesitated for a moment, and his face turned red quickly. After a long time, Gao Qi said two words from between his teeth with a gloomy face: "Brother Xue!"
"Speak louder, haven't you eaten?"
"Brother Xue!"
"Be good! Feel comfortable!"
Li Qinzai looked at the two of them speechlessly.
Noisy and noisy like a pair of happy enemies, you two love to quarrel so much, please get married where you are? Don't care about worldly views, love is the most important.
As the two got closer, Li Qinzai discovered that Xue Ne's face was also covered with swelling and bruises.
"Be careful, dear brother, this is..."
Xue Ne said nonchalantly: "I was beaten by my father, so what!"
"What did you do again?"
"Last time, Weinan County's invincible arrows killed the bandit leader. My family carried the body and planned to parade through the streets to praise their merits. Unexpectedly, they were not even allowed to enter the city gate, and they even told my father secretly," Xue Na smacked his lips.
Even as I recall the feeling of being beaten, I still regret not being able to successfully parade.
"My father rushed to the city gate and beat me up without saying a word. That time he really...beat me to death, as ruthlessly as if he were to mount a horse to kill an enemy..."
Li Qinzai was not surprised. The moment Xue Ne proudly carried the body back to Chang'an that day, it was destined that his ending would not be too happy. Li Qinzai knew that Xue Rengui would teach dogs how to behave.
Only then did Xue Ne and Gao Qi suddenly realize that there were a bunch of people of all sizes standing in the courtyard. Upon closer inspection, they found that they were all well-known and well-known playboys in Chang'an City, and two of them were actually princes.
The two of them naturally knew these princes and dandies, so they took the initiative to greet them.
Li Qinzai turned around and introduced: "These are my disciples. As for these two, they are my good friends. You all call them uncle."
All the dandies suddenly showed strange expressions.
Everyone originally had the same status, especially Li Sujie and Li Xian were still princes, so it was enough to call Li Qinzai sir. After all, they did study under him.
But calling the two uncles Xue Na and Gao Qi, this... is a bit difficult to open your mouth.
However, my husband has spoken, and I can’t stop shouting.
The teacher's words are the parents' words, and you dare not disobey them.
So all the princes and dandies had dark faces and reluctantly called uncle.
Xue Ne and Gao Qi couldn't stand any longer and returned the favor with a wry smile: "Don't try to offend me. Friendships are based on their own preferences."
All the dandies were relieved.
Since Xue Nagaoqi had reserved the pavilion, and all the dandies happened to be present, it would be a bit rude not to let them have a meal.
Xue Na waved his hand and everyone went together to congratulate your husband on his promotion to the county.
Whenever there was a banquet, the dandies of the Tang Dynasty were quite enthusiastic about it. Except for Shangguan Kun'er and two or three others who were too young, the rest happily went out and boarded the carriage.
Li Sujie specially rode in the same carriage with Li Qinzai. In the swaying carriage, Li Sujie first expressed his respect for Mr. Li.
The news that Li Qinzai was knighted had already spread in Chang'an City, but why he was suddenly knighted, the dandies didn't know much about it.
Only Li Sujie and Li Xian were princes, so Li Sujie personally wrote to his father about the gunpowder, so he naturally knew it better than anyone else.
"It is certainly a happy event for Sir to be knighted, but recently there has been an uproar in Chang'an City. Many courtiers were horrified and confused after hearing this, and they all questioned my father's decision."
"I heard that there have been so many doubtful memorials in Shangshu Province that even local officials from the surrounding prefectures and counties of Chang'an have sent letters to advise and advise my father not to grant titles easily."
Li Sujie was sitting in the carriage with a gloomy face. He had recommended his husband for the knighthood. Now seeing that his husband was rejected by the courtiers, Li Sujie also felt that his face was dishonored and he was particularly angry.
Li Qinzai smiled. He really didn't attach much importance to this title. It doesn't matter if he has it or not, it won't delay his life.
"If you give me advice, just give me advice. How can we stop others from talking?"
But Li Sujie slowly shook his head: "Sir, there have been complaints in the court, and this matter may have become more and more serious. If the Yushitai and the aristocratic family also stand up to oppose, my father will have a headache these days, and he will almost have a recurrence of his old illness...
…”
Li Qinzai sighed, this is the court.
He didn't provoke anyone, but he was somehow involved in right and wrong. This is the reason why Li Qinzai has been reluctant to step into the court. Who wants to be involved in right and wrong among those who live a leisurely life?
"Why don't you embarrass your Majesty and ask your Majesty to take back my title? The one I just awarded is still 90% new. I can just wipe it and use it as a new one."
Li Sujie laughed: "Sir, you are really... I really admire your calm demeanor."
Then his face became serious again: "Disciple heard that some courtiers in Chang'an City have united to bring trouble to your entire Li family."
Li Qinzai frowned: "What do you mean?"
"What those people mean is that one sect and two nobles have too much authority. It is not the way of a wise king to give lightly to a saint." Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
