A similar scene also happened in the Duke's Mansion of Qi State.
Only one of the three children was counted as one, and they all received a severe beating today.
After all, their foundation is so poor. They have just memorized the Four Books and Five Classics and learned to walk. How can they write articles!
Even if Li Hongbi put Hu Guang's article and the answer sheets of those Jinshi candidates in front of them and let them copy it, the three little ones couldn't understand it.
Therefore, Li Hongbi rarely got angry and beat the three little ones severely.
The Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, was also waiting at home, always frowning.
He was not worried about his son, but about the second prince!
Since the last martial arts review, His Majesty the Emperor has stopped summoning these noble military ministers, and has not mentioned sending troops at all.
Based on Qiu Fu's understanding of His Majesty the Emperor, it was obvious that His Majesty had made a decision this time and would not send troops to the Tatars.
In the final analysis, it was because of this little bastard Li Hongbi’s article that the Emperor gave up the idea of sending troops in the end!
Instead of risking sending troops to attack the newly migrated Tatar tribe, it is better to find a way to solve the problem of the vassal king as soon as possible and then recast the northern Xinjiang defense line!
After all, the Ming Dynasty had just experienced a civil strife. It was a time when the vitality was seriously injured and needed to recuperate. It was indeed not suitable to send troops outside the Great Wall.
Qiu Fu naturally understands this.
But the key problem is that if the imperial court does not send troops, where will the second prince get the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?
Previously, Yongchun Marquis Wang Ning gave a great opportunity to help the second prince gather popularity, but unfortunately it was disturbed by Zhou Xin, a mere seventh-grade censor, so that no one dared to mention it until now.
Now that we have finally encountered a sudden change in the Tatar tribe, we seem to have a great opportunity to send troops outside the Great Wall to make military exploits. However, this bastard Li Hongbi messed up the situation again.
Qiu Fu couldn't understand, why was the second prince so unlucky?
Or is he not destined by fate?
As a die-hard second prince, Qiu Fu had to consider this issue carefully.
After all, time passes by minute by minute, and autumn is about to begin, and the time until the end of the year is getting shorter and shorter.
Regardless of whether His Majesty the Emperor is determined or not, he will summon the two princes to the capital at the end of this year and cannot delay it any longer.
That means that there is not much time left for the second prince Zhu Gaoxu!
Once the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi enters the capital, who can stop him from being promoted to prince and taking over the East Palace?
Wang Ning can't stop him, Qiu Fu can't stop him, not even His Majesty the Emperor can stop him!
King Yan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Prince Yan should be promoted to prince. This is the general trend and is in line with the patriarchal etiquette!
So, time is really running out.
Qiu Fu was still frowning and thinking about this matter.
Suddenly I heard a familiar cry.
As soon as he heard this voice, Lao Qiutou's heart almost melted, and he hurried to the door of the house.
"Daddy, daddy, help me!"
"That thief Li Hongbi really wants to beat us to death!"
Qiu Fu was originally extremely distressed, but when he heard this, his face darkened.
"Son, Dad knows that it's not easy for you, but Hongbi is your husband, how can you scold someone like this?"
When Qiu Song heard this, he cried even harder.
"No, Dad, then Li Hongbi is really not a human being!"
"He beat us again today and even shouted that he wanted to beat us to death!"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Fu felt distressed and uncomfortable. He wished he could beat Li Hongbi right now to vent his anger.
But he is a veteran minister after all, so he still has some sense.
"Song'er, what's going on? Why does Hongbi hit you again?"
"Li Hongbi...he asked us to write an essay...and asked us to take the judicial examination..."
Qiu Song cried aggrievedly.
Qiu Fu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
Making a fuss?
Examination candidates?
Li Hongbi, are you crazy?
I have the title of Duke of Qi State here. Do I need my son to take the exam?
Qiu Fu subconsciously wanted to scold her, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
Although Li Hongbi's bastard has a bit of a temper, he is indeed talented. Even His Majesty the Emperor is full of praise for him and thinks highly of him.
If that's the case, then why did Li Hongbi make such an outrageous decision?
"Song'er, what else did your husband say?"
"He...he said that we can't rest on our father and brother's merits. We must, like him, rely on our own talents and abilities to make a name for ourselves..."
"Otherwise, no matter how rich and noble you are...if it comes into our hands...you won't be able to keep your family fortune..."
Qiu Song became even more angry when he thought of this.
"Li Hongbi is so talented, isn't he just an assistant teacher at the Imperial College? He seems to be a great academic officer..."
Qiu Fu automatically ignored Qiu Song's last words, and his expression slowly became serious.
He paced back and forth for a long time with his hands behind his back, and finally gave a high-five.
"Wonderful!"
"Li Hongbi is really a genius!"
"He can clearly see what's going on here. It's ridiculous that I, Qiu Fu, am still so ignorant!"
Qiu Song was dumbfounded when he heard this.
what does it mean?
Why are you still praising that bitch?
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy?"
Qiu Fu slapped him on the back of the head angrily, and then explained earnestly.
"Son, you have to thank Mr. Li very much!"
"They really care about my Lao Qiu family! I even told you the principles of settling down and settling down!"
"Think about it, although our family holds the title of Duke of the country and is bound to be rich and wealthy, don't those talented and rotten scholars always say something like this? Something like 'the Zeal of a Gentleman'..."
"The virtue of a gentleman can be cut down after five generations," comes from "Mencius: Chapter 2 of Li Lou". Qiu Song, almost reflexively, caught the words directly.
Seeing this, Qiu Fu smiled from ear to ear, with a look of relief on his face.
"That's right, it's the beauty of a gentleman, and he will be killed in five lifetimes!"
"You three are indeed of noble birth, and you do have titles waiting to be inherited, but can you really live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth?"
"If you are idiots who don't understand any principles or righteousness, let alone guarding this family fortune. The blessings and blessings that my father has left for you may actually bring disaster to you. , will harm you!"
"For example, Li Jinglong is the best example. His father is Li Wenzhong, the King of Qiyang. He worked hard to earn a huge fortune for the old Li family. But what about this Li Jinglong? He has been a complete playboy since he was a child. But he didn’t realize it, which led to a huge disaster and almost implicated the entire family..."
"Humph, if Li Jinglong hadn't given birth to a good son, and if Hongbi hadn't been a genius, the old Li family would have been gone now!"
Qiu Song was stunned for a while. He couldn't understand what his own father was talking about, so he wanted to cry again.
In the end, Qiu Fu yelled twice and raised his fist.
"Cry your mother's balls!"
"You cry all the time, if you cry again I will beat you to death!"
"With how cowardly you are, you might be the next Li Jinglong!"
"The reason why Hongbi asked you three to take part in the scientific examination, to make you three have great ambitions, and to let you three complete impossible tasks is to temper your three minds. Whether you can pass the exam or not is not important. , it’s important to train the minds of the three of you... This method is simply wonderful, Li Hongbi is really a fucking peerless genius!"
"No, Dad..." Qiu Song was dumbfounded and hurriedly wanted to defend himself.
"Such a gentleman, such a mentor, such a famous teacher, what else can you be dissatisfied with, you bastard? Dad thinks you are itchy, you don't beat him less often, right?"
"Come here, bring my third brother's whip. I will teach you today what it means to respect your teacher!"
Qiu Song: "???"
Ah this?
Isn't this right?
Li Hongbi, are you a devil?
