Inside the Imperial Academy, the scene was shocking.
Thousands of children from poor families all knelt on the ground and begged Li Hongbi to teach them.
Such a grand scene is really shocking and inexplicable.
Cheng Hui looked at the thin figure with hope, as if a drowning person had grasped a life-saving straw!
Indeed, just now Li Hongbi used a little game to wake him up with one slap after another, making him clearly realize the gap between himself and Li Xueyi and other powerful children.
The current step-by-step distance is likely to take him a lifetime to catch up, and he will definitely not be able to catch up with his own talent and learning that he is proud of!
Therefore, now he only hopes to put all his hopes on Li Hongbi!
Why?
Because Li Hongbi had created a miracle before!
Qiu Song, Zhu Yong and Gu Xingzu were all second-generation top-notch scholars. They had no previous knowledge at all, and the entire Imperial College knew this!
However, when Li Hongbi became their teacher, it only took two months for the three of them to win the first place in the apricot list, and also took the top three places in the Yingtianfu Township Examination!
The most important thing is that the three of them actually defeated those Jiangxi talents!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination has been the home field of Jiangxi talented people, who have always occupied most of the seats!
But this time, Qiu Song and the others did it, snatching away the top three spots from Jiangxi Talents!
And their husband is called Li Hongbi!
Since Qiu and Song can do it, why can't he do it?
He is known as a child prodigy, and his learning ability at the beginning is much higher than that of Qiu Song and the other three!
When he thought of this, infinite hope arose in Cheng Hui's heart!
"Please teach me, sir!"
"Students are willing to join the teacher and serve him until they grow old!"
As soon as Cheng Hui said these words, other children from poor families could not sit still.
"Students are willing too!"
"Please teach me, sir!"
"Please sir!"
Seeing this, Li Hongbi turned around and looked at them quietly.
It seems that I hit them a little hard!
But this is not enough, far from enough!
You want to be named on the gold medal list, you want to be a Jinshi in high school, you want to change your own destiny, how is that possible without suffering some hardships?
"It's not impossible for you to become my disciple."
Hearing this, Cheng Hui and others were overjoyed, but what Li Hongbi said next made them feel like they were struck by lightning.
"But if you want to become my disciple, the first step you have to do is to put away those bad habits of scholars, especially your inexplicable and ridiculous arrogance!"
"The Imperial College has given you an opportunity to study and cultivate virtue, and provides you with free food and accommodation, and you only need to study with peace of mind. This is probably the only opportunity for most of you to change your destiny in your life, but you I didn’t cherish it before!”
"After being praised a few times by others, I really thought that I was some kind of talented and unique talent. I really thought that I was some kind of superior and proud man. The problem is that even in terms of talent alone, you can't compare with those Jiangxi talents? Even yourself You can’t compare to others in what you’re best at, and you don’t even dare to take the exam, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
Heartbreaking!
Tie it to death!
Li Hongbi wanted to pierce their fragile and sensitive hearts!
So many people from poor families started sobbing softly after hearing these words, feeling extremely pitiful and aggrieved.
But Li Hongbi wanted to tear apart their ridiculous arrogance today, find his own position, and really start from scratch. Only in this way will they be obedient and not disobey their own will.
"If you want to have a bright future, the imperial examination is undoubtedly the most promising way!"
"Don't think about the history of the Imperial College, and don't fantasize about filling vacancies in the staff. Even if there is such an opportunity, there are thousands of students in the Imperial College, why will it fall on you? I really think you are God’s biological son?”
"So if you are really ambitious, you must take part in the college entrance examination next spring. And your real enemy, the biggest enemy standing in your bright future, is not the powerful children around me, but the ones you say everyone fears. A talented man from Jiangxi who is as good as a tiger!"
"If you don't even understand this, I really don't know how you have the nerve to call yourself a genius!"
Seeing that the eyes of all the poor disciples were dull, Li Hongbi couldn't help but increase his volume.
"What? Don't you understand?"
"His name is Li Xueyi, and his father is Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty!"
"And Li Zhigang's father was once a minister of the Yuan Dynasty. To put it simply, Li Xueyi came from a family of officials!"
"That is to say, since Li Xueyi was a child, his grandparents had planned his future and effortlessly used their family's power and money to pave the way for his future. When he became an adult, he did not even have to undergo scientific examinations. , you can easily get an official position in the court, and you will have no worries about food and clothing throughout your life!"
"Who do you think you are choosing to compete with? It's not Li Xueyi, a dandy and powerful son, but the parents and ancestors behind them who are in high positions and hold great power. It is the splendid future that they have paved with the efforts of three generations!"
"You can't compare with the rich and powerful in terms of family resources and resources, and you can't compare with Jiangxi's talents in terms of your own talents and learning. What qualifications do you have to be so arrogant here?"
Li Xueyi was said to be confused.
Why didn’t I know that my father had paved the way for me?
"Um...sir...don't talk nonsense..."
Li Hongbi glared at him fiercely, and Mr. Li immediately did not dare to say a word.
The pride in Cheng Hui's heart was finally shattered into pieces and shattered on the ground.
He took the lead and bowed to Li Hongbi: "Sir, I know I was wrong. Please stop saying it!"
Someone took the lead, and all the other students from poor families also knelt down and said, "I know my mistake. Please stop talking, sir."
Stop talking!
It’s simply heart-wrenching and heart-wrenching!
This is more uncomfortable than killing us!
Li Hongbi saw this and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Now that you have realized your mistake, then prepare carefully for the exam!"
"Starting from tomorrow, the Imperial College will conduct closed military training. No one is allowed to come in or out at will. We will make every effort to prepare for the spring exam next year!"
"So, if you have made up your mind, then be prepared, everything will be different from tomorrow!"
Li Hongbi then looked at Li Xueyi and others.
"What? Second generations, what do you say?"
"I'll give you two choices, either get out of the Imperial College now, or follow them and study hard like crazy to take part in next year's exam!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
All the second-generation officials were very angry.
Being expelled from the Imperial College would definitely not work. Not only would they become the laughing stock of the capital, but their parents would also be embarrassed!
But staying here in the Imperial College to study crazily doesn’t seem to be the case!
They didn't quite understand what "closed military training" was, but they had heard of how crazy and terrifying the thief Li Hongbi taught his children.
That simply means treating disciples not as human beings, but as animals!
Have you ever seen someone holding a mace and explaining the Four Books and Five Classics to you?
How presumptuous!
All the second-generation officials looked at each other, somewhat undecided.
Li Hongbi did not force them, and said with a chuckle: "It's okay. Anyone who doesn't want to learn can just leave. If anyone changes his mind, just come back before tomorrow."
"Okay, that's the end of your business. Let's go and make your own decisions!"
Li Hongbi waved his hand, signaling the students to disperse.
Now that the student's problem is solved, next comes the students and officials.
Including Hu Yan, who is offering wine at the Imperial Academy, no one can escape!
