Li Xueyi returned to the mansion.
All the second-generation officials returned to Jinling City.
Because they don't know how to make a choice.
As the son of the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty, Li Xueyi's own talents and learning were quite good, and he had at least one meritorious title.
Because only by winning the title of Juren can one be qualified to be an official, and the family will use connections and resources to pave the way for him.
If you can't even get the honor of being a civil servant, don't even want to be an official in this life, just stay a dandy!
Furthermore, almost all students who can enter the Imperial Academy, except for those noble disciples, have the title of Juren, which is the lowest threshold.
Li Xueyi was no exception. He also passed the exam, but after passing the exam, he became a little dissolute and no longer wanted to immerse himself in studying.
Reading those obscure sages' articles all day long is not as enjoyable as drinking, having fun, or sleeping with prostitutes!
His father, Li Zhigang, was the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty and a second-rank court official. Even if he became a dandy, would he still worry about having no future?
However, Li Xueyi's thoughts have changed a bit now.
Just because of Li Hongbi's game today, that game was extremely cruel.
This game allowed Cheng Hui and other children from poor families to see the gap between themselves and the powerful children, and also allowed Li Xueyi to see the differences in class.
Li Xueyi has been very clear about his status since he can remember. At the beginning, his father Li Zhigang was not an important minister in the court. He was just a Huguang Left Councilor and could barely be regarded as a high-ranking local official.
But not long after, Li Zhigang was imprisoned due to negligence, and the sky of Lao Li's family collapsed.
In order to save his father, Li Xueyi went to visit the officials who usually fawned over him, hoping that they would help him out of kindness in the past. However, they didn't even see him. That was the first time that Li Xueyi experienced the warmth and warmth of human relationships. The world is hot and cold.
Fortunately, things are unpredictable. The original Jianwen court became the Yongle court. All the courtiers who were convicted during the Jianwen period were rehabilitated by His Majesty the Yongle Emperor and entrusted with important responsibilities. As a result, Li Zhigang rose through the ranks and was soon promoted to the Minister of Rites. The Ming Dynasty The second-grade official!
At this point, Li Xueyi knew that he was much superior to ordinary people. In fact, he no longer had to work hard in his life because his father had arranged his future for him.
However, seeing the poor students in the Imperial College kneeling and crying bitterly today, Li Xueyi also clearly felt the class difference.
This game is certainly cruel to the poor disciples of the Imperial College, but how is it not cruel to second-generation officials like Li Xueyi?
The reason why they are superior to others is not based on their own abilities, but on the power of their parents and ancestors!
But if, like what happened back then, his father was suddenly dismissed from office, or even imprisoned, what would Li Xueyi do, and what should the entire family do?
For the first time, Li Xueyi realized the difficulties and obstacles behind this glamorous appearance.
He was reading in a trance and deep in thought, but Li Zhigang had already gone home from court.
As soon as he saw his son, Li Zhigang became very dissatisfied.
He had high hopes for his son, but as he continued to advance, his son gradually turned into a playboy, which was very disappointing.
"What are you doing sitting here?"
"Father, I'm tired today and don't want to argue with you!"
After saying this coldly, Li Zhigang turned around and left, preparing to go back to his room to rest.
"Father, my child... is wrong!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhigang turned around and looked at his son in disbelief as if he was struck by lightning.
"What did you say?"
This son actually admitted his mistake?
Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west?
Li Xueyi shook his head with a bitter look on his face, then stood up and knelt down in front of Li Zhigang.
"Father, I know I was wrong."
"If it weren't for Mr. Hongbi's teachings, this child would not know the dangers of this world!"
"Father, my child is now faced with a choice and I don't know how to make a decision. Please ask my father to help you clear up your doubts!"
Hearing this, Li Zhigang was completely confused.
He looked at his son in disbelief, and finally suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and sat down next to him.
"My son, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry!"
"Tell me everything that happened today. Father is listening!"
With Li Zhigang's encouragement, Li Xueyi felt a lot more at ease and told everything that happened in the Imperial College today.
From the sudden arrival of His Majesty the Emperor to the Imperial College, to Li Hongbi convening everyone in the Imperial College to discuss matters, and the cruel little game, and every word Li Hongbi said, Li Xueyi told his father Li Zhigang everything.
After hearing this, Li Zhigang was immediately shocked.
After being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but admire.
"A famous teacher!"
"Then Li Hongbi can be called a famous teacher!"
"No wonder His Majesty favors this son so much. This Li Hongbi is simply a monster and a genius!"
As a favorite of Emperor Yongle, Li Zhigang knew that Emperor very well.
In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no distinction between loyal and traitorous ministers, only talented and incompetent officials!
And the reason why Li Zhigang has been able to rise to prominence is that, in addition to being a criminal minister of Jianwen, he is able to observe people's words and emotions, and he is also very good at picking up troubles, so he can win the respect and trust of His Majesty the Emperor!
Last time, Li Zhigang received a cold reception from His Majesty the Emperor for impeaching Li Jinglong. Afterwards, he immediately changed the direction and took the initiative to make friends with Li Jinglong. Only then did His Majesty the Emperor regain his respect for him.
Therefore, Li Zhigang immediately noticed that His Majesty the Emperor attached great importance to Li Jinglong.
But Li Jinglong is known to everyone as a loser, so what is the problem?
There is only one answer. The person that His Majesty the Emperor really values is not Li Jinglong, a loser, but Li Jinglong’s son, Li Hongbi, the eldest son of Cao Guogong!
What happened in the Imperial College today is undoubtedly the most powerful proof!
Li Jinglong is not in the Imperial College, and His Majesty the Emperor is clearly going to Li Hongbi!
Li Hongbi most likely accepted His Majesty the Emperor's order, and then took drastic measures to rectify the Imperial College!
When he thought of this, Li Zhigang was so excited that he trembled all over!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
What Li Zhigang is best at is trying to figure out the Holy Will!
As long as I hold His Majesty's thigh tightly, are I still afraid that I will not have the Holy Family?
"Father, I am thinking about whether to return to the Imperial College and follow Mr. Hongbi's teachings..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhigang slapped him directly on the back of the head.
"You idiot, why are you hesitating?"
"Now, immediately, immediately, get your father back to the Imperial Academy!"
Li Xueyi: "???"
Damn it?
Is this how you explain your son’s doubts?
"No, Dad, Mr. Hongbi is too temperamental..."
"Irritated?" Li Zhigang smiled and picked up a chair.
"Either you go back to the Imperial College now, or my father breaks your legs and sends you back to the Imperial College!"
"Why don't you idiot like you have a clear mind? To be able to meet a famous teacher like Li Hongbi is a blessing that you will never be able to achieve in eight lifetimes. You are not satisfied yet, and you still dare to hesitate!"
"If you don't want to go, that's fine. As a father, I will sever the father-son relationship with you. I, Li Zhigang, am not qualified to be the father of a fool like you. You can hire someone else to go!"
Li Xueyi: "!!!"
Damn it!
What do you mean?
Li Hongbi is your biological son, right?
"Dad, do you have any ulterior relationship with Mr. Hongbi?"
"Do you want to go back now, or do you want to go back after I beat you up?"
Li Xueyi: "(ΩДΩ)"
