Li Yi felt that he needed to remind Mingzhu to guard against fire and theft and Li Xuan. In order not to be the emperor, he could not do anything and might betray Mingzhu in the blink of an eye.
Just as he said this, he saw Li Han walking in from the outside, walked up to him, and whispered: "Sir, are you going to give me the position of dean of the School of Calculation?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Who said that?"
Although the position of dean will be given to him sooner or later, he cannot take it before he speaks. This is just like the throne. Once he speaks first, it is not abdication, but usurping the throne.
Li Han was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Do you think you are so powerful that you are qualified to be the dean?"
"No……"
"Do you think you already know a lot about arithmetic?"
"Only a little bit……"
"A little bit, you are modest..." Li Yi crossed his arms and said, "I will test you with a few questions. If you can answer them, I will give you the position of dean now."
Although Li Han is young, he still has self-awareness.
If arithmetic is compared to a high mountain, he can only say that he has just reached the halfway point of the mountain, and the people from the Imperial College of Statistics are at the foot of the mountain. As for Mr., it is the top of the mountain that he needs to look up from time to time, and cannot be seen clearly in the clouds and fog.
It could be seen that Li Han's first reaction was to shake his head, and Li Yi added: "Don't worry, you have learned everything before, and you won't go beyond the guidelines."
Li Han looked serious and said seriously: "Sir, please give me a question!"
Li Yi looked at him with a half-smile, how long has this boy been thinking about the position of dean of the college?
"One hen is worth five, one hen is worth three, and three chicks are worth one. If you buy a hundred chickens for a hundred dollars, ask the hen, mother, and chicks how much?"
"There are four roosters, eighteen mothers, and seventy-eight chicks; eight roosters, eleven mothers, and eighty-one chicks; twelve roosters, four mothers, and eighty-four chicks."
Li Han reported the answer in one breath. It was the simplest linear equation in three variables. When he asked the question, he didn't know how to change the numbers. This question was a must-memorize question for students in the School of Calculation. As the acting dean, he had already memorized it.
The melon is overripe.
"Today there is a wall five feet thick. Two rats pass through it. A rat's day is one foot, and a mouse's day is also one foot. A rat's day is twice as long, and a mouse's day is half a foot. When will the two rats meet?"
"The third day."
Li Han also said the answer instantly. He thought that the teacher would ask a difficult question to test him in the second question. Unexpectedly, it was still a question he had seen before, and it was the simplest question. There should be another question after the original question, asking two questions.
Rats wear different shapes. If asked together, he might have to think about it...
"What is eighty thousand times ninety thousand?"
"Seven hundred and twenty thousand."
After Li Han easily answered the third question, he had determined that his husband really wanted to give him the position of dean. The so-called school examination was just a process. Otherwise, why would he always behave like this?
Submit questions?
Li Yi touched his head and said with a smile: "Arithmetic is a subject that is profound and profound. Remember not to be complacent or blindly arrogant. Go back..."
When Prince Ning accompanied Princess Ning into the hall, he happened to see Li Han walking out.
Seeing his dejected look, Princess Ning asked with concern: "Xiao Han, what's wrong? Is someone bullying you?"
"No, no one bullied me, but I was too stupid..." Even the simplest calculations could be wrong, and he still wanted to be the dean. Li Han shook his head, endured the shame in his heart, lowered his head and left.
"Pearl..."
Seeing Princess Ning looking at Mingzhu with tears in her eyes since she walked in, Li Yi knew what he should do.
He stood up and cupped his hands: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning, the Princess, I will leave first..."
At the same time, somewhere in the palace, the empress held Li Xuan's hand, shedding tears as well. Emperor Jing looked at Changde beside him and said slowly: "Call two prime ministers, Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, and six ministers to enter the palace...
"
Changde stood with his hands down and said respectfully: "Old slave, I obey the order."
…
The two prime ministers, Zhongshu Ling, Shi Zhong, and the six ministers, each of them stamped their feet, and the court would be shocked. Your Majesty summoned one or two of them alone, and there was no easy way.
People would think too much, but His Majesty summoned all of them into the palace at the same time. No one would believe this if it was not a big deal.
Your Majesty is seriously ill, and the imperial meeting is approaching. At this delicate moment, there is only one thing that can be called a big deal.
The position of Crown Prince!
For a time, the entire atmosphere in Kyoto became tense.
Especially the princes who have arrived in Kyoto, their hearts are high. The fate of all of them may change today.
Countless lines of sight focused on the palace entrance.
Ten court officials did not come out of the palace until night.
However, after leaving the palace, every one of them took a carriage directly back to the house and thanked the guests behind closed doors. No one was seen, whether they were the princes or the dignitaries in the capital.
This undoubtedly makes the whole thing more complicated and confusing.
Prince Qi's Mansion.
His Royal Highness King Qi, who was considered to be the favorite candidate to win the throne these days, now looked very angry and threw several cups. He said angrily: "What on earth did my father say to them? Why don't you see any of them? What do you mean?
"
A person behind him came forward and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry. I didn't see King Xin there either. After those adults went back, they won't see any foreigners again."
After saying these words, King Qi felt a little at ease.
I'm not afraid if I don't see him, but I'm afraid of not seeing him when he meets King Xin or other princes. The meaning of this is very obvious.
He sat back down and said with a disappointed look on his face: "It is said that after the Great Court Meeting, the throne will be determined. It is less than a month before the Great Court Meeting. Even if my father has to wait, he should release some news..."
Xinwangfu.
"Did they really say that?" A young man looked at the servants below and asked, "Did you tell me my name?"
The man immediately replied: "Your Highness, of course we have reported your name, but the servants in the master's house said that they have not seen any foreigners in recent days. Not only have we not seen them, but also His Highness King Qi and several other princes.
I haven’t seen them either.”
After hearing this, King Xin's expression softened slightly, he waved his hand and said, "If my uncle was still the servant, how could we be so passive at this moment!"
The servant sighed and said: "The Chen family was so prominent in the beginning, but it is such a pity that it has fallen to this..."
King Xin snorted coldly and said: "It's all their own fault. He, Chen Qing, is my uncle. He didn't help me back then, but he actually chose the King of Shu. Now it's better. The glorious family that has been glorious for decades has fallen into ruin.
Being a prisoner of a subordinate, who can blame you?"
His Royal Highness King Xin was obviously still brooding about what happened back then. When the servant heard this, he no longer dared to speak.
Not only King Xin and King Qi are also worried, but the princes and dignitaries in Beijing are also very uneasy. However, there is no news about what His Majesty and those adults said. So far, I am afraid they can only wait until the coming crisis.
It's time for a great meeting.
Kyoto, which was originally turbulent due to the competition for the reserve, suddenly became quiet again, but everyone knew that this was probably the last calm before the storm came.
Li Yi was really quiet. He hugged Li Duan with his left hand and Yongning with his right hand. His heart was extremely quiet.
Li Duan was already very familiar with this little aunt and was willing to get close to her.
Apart from his family, the person he wanted to be close to the most was Shouning. Maybe it was because Tsundere Loli had been with him the longest, so he was much closer to Shouning than anyone else.
Yongning doesn't need to go back these days. After all, her illness has not been cured yet and she needs psychological treatment from time to time. During this period, she does not need to stay in the palace.
After coaxing the two little guys to sleep, Li Yi didn't feel sleepy at all. It was a little cold in the yard. He lay on the chair without caring. The sky was pitch black with no stars. It was extremely quiet tonight.
A lot of things have happened recently. In just a few days, the eldest princess is no longer the eldest princess, and Li Xuan will become the emperor.
The original plan was completely disrupted, and for a few moments, he himself began to feel confused about the path he would take in the future...
