Zhu Di frowned.
He expressed his displeasure.
Jie Jin mistakenly thought that His Majesty the Emperor was unhappy with Li Hongbi, so he immediately increased the intensity of his impeachment!
"Your Majesty, Li Hongbi is arrogant and domineering in the Imperial Academy because he is your Imperial Majesty's appointed assistant teacher!"
"You must know that the Imperial College is the central academic institution of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also responsible for providing talents for the court. How can it be corrupted by Li Hongbi alone..."
Zhu Di's face became darker and darker, but Xie Jin became more and more excited as he spoke.
Huang Huai on the side clearly noticed something was wrong and wanted to remind Xie Jin.
After all, Huang Huai is the second-ranking figure in the cabinet. He has a close friendship with Xie Jin on weekdays, and he does not want to see Xie Jin and offend Long Yan.
But, it's too late.
Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin indifferently and said softly: "Scholar Jie, where did Aiqing hear these rumors?"
Jie Jin was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to notice that Zhu Di's tone was wrong.
But the arrow had to be fired when it was on the string. Li Hongbi had previously made Jie Jin a laughing stock. It would be unjust to not avenge this!
You know, this is a great opportunity right now!
The Yingtianfu Township Examination is about to begin, and His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to this Township Examination!
As long as Li Hongbi's actions are exaggerated and given a reputation that affects scholars' scientific examinations, then Li Hongbi will shed his skin even if he is not dead!
When he thought of this, Xie Jin's heart suddenly trembled, and he immediately showed his trump card.
"Your Majesty, this is not a rumor, but what an official of the Imperial College said personally!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at Hu Yan, who was in the presence of the old god.
Hu Yan, who was offering wine at the Imperial Academy, looked blank and looked at Xie Jin subconsciously.
When did I tell you anything bad about Hongbi boy?
Zhu Di also saw Hu Yan's confusion, and then turned his attention to Jie Jin.
"Oh, you are so brave!"
"Scholar Xie, who told you this? Bring them here!"
"I must personally interrogate this matter to avoid letting villains cause trouble!"
Xie Jin was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately asked the eunuch to bring him in.
As soon as Hu Yan saw the visitor, his face immediately darkened.
Because this person is no one else, he is none other than the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, Rao Wenshu!
Well, that is, the guy who often snitches on Li Hongbi in front of him!
"Your Majesty, I'd like to see you, your Majesty, the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, Ye Rao Wen Shu!"
"Hmm... Judging from your accent, you are also from Jiangxi?"
Zhu Di asked with a meaningful smile. Just one sentence made cold sweat break out on Jie Jin's forehead.
Rao Wenshu was also a little stunned. He did not expect that His Majesty would suddenly ask this question.
Fortunately, Jie Jin coughed in time, and Rao Wenshu came back to his senses.
"Your Majesty, I impeach Li Hongbi, the assistant professor of the Imperial College, for bullying others, humiliating students, and corrupting the academic style of the Imperial College. I sincerely request your Majesty to severely punish this Li Hongbi!"
"Oh?" Zhu Di smiled, "Then tell me, how did Li Hongbi humiliate the students?"
"Your Majesty does not know that there are three students in Guangye Hall of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Yong, Qiu Song and Gu Xingzu. Li Hongbi did not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, but he forced these three students to study hard. Li Hongbi did not know the meaning of the scriptures and did not understand the holy words, so he searched for I wrote some Jinshi articles and asked three students to read and recite them all!"
"With the slightest carelessness, Li Hongbi beat and scolded three students at every turn, and even hit them with a whip. He is a cruel, cruel and unscrupulous person!"
hiss……
Are you really whipping me with a whip?
Is there anyone who teaches like you?
Even Zhu Di was a little shocked now.
He had heard that Li Hongbi wanted the three little ones to take part in the Yingtian Mansion Provincial Examination, but he didn't know that Li Hongbi was so outrageous!
After all, after these three little ones have made great achievements, how dare you hit them with a whip?
One is the crown prince of Qi State, the other is the crown prince of Cheng State, and the other is the crown prince of Zhenyuan Hou. They are all truly meritorious queens!
Not to mention you, Li Hongbi, even he, Zhu Di, can't do this to others.
Especially this child Gu Xingzu, who is the only descendant of Gu Cheng, the Marquis of Zhenyuan!
When Gu Cheng surrendered to King Zhu Di of Yan during the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Yunwen learned the news and killed Gu Cheng's family. All five sons were killed, and only a single seedling like Gu Xingzu escaped by chance. After birth, Zhu Di also took great care of Gu Xingzu and sent rewards to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion from time to time.
After all, this is the only one left, and Gu Cheng is now far away in Guizhou, guarding the border for Zhu Di. There is no way to treat him harshly!
At this time, Zhu Di was really angry.
Xie Jin did not forget to fan the flames.
"Your Majesty, you must know that these three students are all queens of meritorious service!"
"Not only did Li Hongbi mislead his disciples, he also harshly criticized the descendants of his meritorious service. If this is publicized, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's face suddenly sank.
"Come here, tell Li Hongbi!"
After giving this order, Zhu Di also felt inappropriate.
After all, Li Hongbi and Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng have a very good relationship. Last time, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng gave all the heirlooms they had given to Li Hongbi. This is a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it!
Then Li Hongbi is crazy, and he beats other people's sons for fun?
"Wait a minute, go and call Duke Cheng and Duke Qi!"
The eunuch took the order and left in a hurry.
Inside the Nuan Pavilion, the atmosphere was solemn.
Xie Jin and Rao Wenshu were overjoyed. They looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Even if Li Hongbi doesn't die this time, he will still have to shed his skin!
Hu Yan, on the other hand, was still there and didn't care at all.
Do you, Jie Jin, really think that Li Hongbi is a soft persimmon?
If someone wants to die, someone else will be unlucky!
In the time it took to touch a cup of tea, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng came hand in hand.
They were on duty at the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, so they arrived faster than Li Hongbi.
The two military bosses walked into Nuan Pavilion and were a little dumbfounded when they saw the characters inside.
How come these bastards Jie Jin and Yang Rong are still here?
Doesn’t His Majesty want to have a small meeting with them?
"My dear ladies are here, please take a seat quickly."
"The thing is like this, this is Ye Rao Wenshu, the Secretary of the Imperial Academy. He impeached Li Hongbi for abusing the two children Zhu Yong and Qiu Song, and even whipped them when nothing happened. Is that what happened?"
Hearing this, Qiu Fu was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the case!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di became furious.
"What a bastard!"
"Where does Li Hongbi have the courage to humiliate his meritorious service like this?"
"I think his wings are stiff and he wants to be beaten, right? Come here..."
"No, Your Majesty, Hongbi beat him well!" Zhu Neng saw that something was wrong and hurriedly said: "We all know about this, and our fathers also support it!"
Zhu Di: "???"
Everyone present: "???"
ah?
who I am?
Where am I?
What did I hear?
Then Li Hongbi whipped your son, and you, as a father, still supported him?
"Ahem, what does this mean?" Zhu Di was confused.
Qiu Fu spread his hands and said, "A genius emerges from under a stick! What's the matter with how many whips Hongbi gave to train my unruly son?"
"Besides, my Song'er's academic progress has been great, and this is all due to Brother Hongbi. Not to mention a few whips, even if he broke Song'er's legs, I have no objection at all!"
Zhu Neng looked at Xie Jinrao and Wenshu with a gloomy face, and roughly understood what was going on.
"Your Majesty, the two of us are not only aware of this matter, but have always supported it with all our strength. We even have whips prepared at home. Therefore, it is simply nonsense that Hongbi said after humiliating his merits. I don't know where your Majesty heard it from. This slander?"
calumny!
As soon as these two words came out, some people panicked.
Jie Jin looked at the two princes in disbelief and almost collapsed to the ground.
how could this be?
Shouldn't it be like this?
How could a father be so cruel to his son?
Then am I not acting like a villain in front of His Majesty?
