Happy Little Scholar

The old emperor's eyes seemed to have deep meaning, and Li Yi's feeling of badness became stronger and stronger.

At this moment, he was so dazed that he did not hear clearly what the eunuch said at the beginning. It seemed that he called his name, or maybe he heard it wrong...

In short, the eunuch spoke for a long time, and Li Yi could only hear that he was praising someone, saying that he was a young hero who had made countless contributions to the country and brought blessings to the future... and a series of more beautiful words, which praised the person so much. It is rare in the world and hard to find in heaven.

Li Yi finally felt relieved. Although he was very good, he was not that good. It didn't seem to be about him. As long as he didn't cause trouble for him, it would be fine. Whoever he loves...

"...Doctor Ziguanglu, who was awarded the gold medal, is so impressive!"

Li Yi understood the last sentence. Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, I don’t know which big shot became the official. No wonder the old emperor was so praising in words.

Doctor Jin Ziguanglu is a third-grade official. Although he is a casual official with only an official rank and official name and no real power, it is a very high honor for officials in the DPRK.

This kind of official arrangement is inherited from the previous dynasty. After the officials of this dynasty retired and became official, the court did not ignore them, but usually resettled them appropriately, and at the same time squeezed out their surplus value, giving them a few officials with official rank but no real power. An official, a state advisor or something like that.

This is also the practice of Jingguo. It is usually applied to ministers who have become official. They can also participate in government affairs and walk in the court. Their status is generally relatively aloof, but it is limited to those ministers with more respected status. Ordinary officials do not have it. this qualification.

Since these informal officials were the pillars of the country before becoming officials, even after they became officials, the emperor would attach great importance to their opinions. Therefore, although they had no real power, they had a profound influence on the government.

Li Yi remembered that he had just heard a sentence about a young hero. He thought he had heard it wrong. He turned back to look at Old General Xue and asked: "Which gentleman in the court has retired?"

After he finished speaking, he saw him looking straight at her with an expression of excessive shock.

Not only General Xue, but also the surrounding officials looked at him like a monster, with disbelief on their faces.

"What's wrong..." Li Yi opened his mouth and asked, and that extremely bad premonition appeared again.

"Why are you still standing there, thank you!" Old General Xue whispered and pushed Li Yi out.

"Thank you for what?" Li Yi staggered and stood in the center of the hall, his face full of confusion.

"Your Majesty, this is not allowed!"

Before he could react, an old figure walked out of the crowd and said loudly: "The young hero of Li County Marquis has made countless contributions to the country, but he has just been crowned and conferred the title of Golden Ziguanglu Doctor. This dynasty has never seen anything like this." It’s a precedent, your Majesty, please think again!”

This person is an official from Yushitai.

Li Yi stood there in a daze, not believing his ears. What the eunuch just read was really him!

What a joke, casual officials are also officials and have to work. The old emperor will definitely not sit idle and play. He is still waiting to take care of his children, so what kind of official is he?

In fact, as the eunuch finished reading, the entire court was already boiling, including the supervisory censor who was supposed to maintain discipline and was stunned on the spot.

The 21-year-old county prince is a unique precedent in this dynasty.

Not to mention that he, a county prince, rose up from a commoner without any title within two years.

As early as when he was granted the title of Marquis, there was a lot of turmoil in the court.

There were countless officials who asked His Majesty to take back his orders, not to mention those who had a grudge against him. Even officials who had not had a close relationship with him and had no interests involved felt that this was inappropriate.

However, at that time, he was kidnapped by the gangsters. His Majesty was furious and severely punished the two officials who persisted in the matter in the court. No one dared to trouble His Majesty again.

The Marquis of the County was the Marquis of the County. At that time, I didn't know if he could come back. As time went by, the matter completely calmed down.

After he came back, a few people mentioned the events of that day again, but His Majesty brushed them off in an understatement, and the matter of the title of Marquis was completely settled.

How long had passed, His Majesty actually granted him the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu!

What kind of grace is this?

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, whoever has been awarded this official position has not been an important minister of the country who has worked hard for the country all his life and is respected by hundreds of officials. How can a young boy be so virtuous and capable?

This is no longer a favor, this is a special favor!

As a result, some officials in the court became excited and listed dozens of reasons why the Marquis of Li County could not be named Jin Ziguanglu Doctor, as if they were given a shot of chicken blood. They spitted and spoke with awe-inspiring righteousness...

Of course, the most common reason is that he is too young. Although he has made great contributions to the country, is familiar with classics, and has high attainments in arithmetic, he does not know how to govern the country and is not qualified for this position. After all, Jin Ziguanglu Although the doctor is just a casual official, he has developed to this day and is directly involved in state affairs. He has an extremely important position in the court and cannot be held by this young man...

These are all pleasant to hear, but if they are more serious, they have directly pointed out that His Majesty should not be so favored by him. Since ancient times, those who have been favored by the emperor are all sycophants...

…

Li Yi retreated behind the pillar again to avoid being stained by their saliva, with an extremely depressed expression on his face.

Naturally, he was depressed because the old emperor had nothing to do, and he was too lazy to be the dean. How could he become a doctor? He also planned to wait until Ruyi gave birth to the child, then stay at home as a full-time nanny to take care of the child. The troubles would naturally become more and more difficult. Less is better.

"How can you hide such a big thing?" General Xue came over, saw the expression on his face, looked at an official who was still talking, curled his lips, and said, "Don't worry about it. Those people can't make any trouble in the matter decided by His Majesty."

Li Yi was naturally not worried about this, but he couldn't explain it to him. At this time, many people around him were already congratulating him.

After all this time, if you don’t have a few friends in the court, it would be a failure.

In fact, except for the Cui family and those staunch supporters of the King of Shu, no one came up to remonstrate.

"Okay, I have made up my mind. If you have any other opinions, please leave them for discussion later!" Emperor Jing stood up from the dragon chair and waved his hand, "Retreat from the court!"

Li Yi didn't even have a chance to refuse, and saw Emperor Jing getting up and leaving. At this time, most people's eyes in the court were focused on him.

Li Yi and General Xue greeted them and strode out of the hall.

He didn't want to stay here and be looked at like a monkey.

"Master Li, stay!" Not long after walking out of the hall, a voice came from behind. Li Yi turned his head and saw the head of the Wang family walking quickly towards this side.

Naturally, he couldn't leave directly at this moment.

The head of the Wang family stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Li!"

"Talking as we walk." Li Yi looked at many people coming out of the hall, pointed to the front and said.

The head of the Wang family stopped him not just to say congratulations, but also for the Wang scholarship. From now on, the Wang family will allocate a sum of money every year to reward outstanding students in the academy, covering all academies in Jingguo in the future.

In addition, he also expressed his willingness to set up the same scholarship for the School of Mathematical Sciences, which Li Yi naturally would not refuse.

The Wang family wants to establish a reputation among scholars, and presumably this is what the old emperor wants to see. Li Yi always feels that he takes special care of the Wang family, not just because the Wang family is stupid and rich but obedient, but he doesn't want to know the reason. There is no need to think about the best of all three things.

I separated from the head of the Wang family and was about to walk out of the palace gate when I realized that I had been interrupted by that incident and had forgotten to go find the eldest princess to learn about the progress of the academy, so I turned back. During this period, I naturally had to accept the congratulations of many officials. When I met Those at the level of Minister of Hubu and Minister of War had to stop and say a few words, and it took a lot of time to arrive at Chenlu Hall.

The little maid at the door of the palace was stunned when she saw him, stopped in front of him, and said: "Master Marquis, princess..."

She had never stopped him before. Li Yi asked in surprise: "The princess is not here?"

The little palace maid nodded and said, "Your Highness is going to the Imperial Garden."

"Then I'll go to the Royal Garden to find her." Li Yi nodded and walked in a certain direction.

He was also familiar with the Imperial Garden. In summer, the Imperial Garden was densely covered with trees, which made it a good place to escape the heat.

Although he can enter the palace at will, places like the Imperial Garden are still not accessible at will.

The guard at the door went in to inform him, and soon came out and led him in.

The eldest princess was sitting in a pavilion somewhere in the garden, looking down at something.

Li Yi sat down opposite her and said, "I came here this morning to go to court and didn't bring any soup."

Li Mingzhu didn't seem to hear this. She looked up at him and asked, "I heard that my father named you Doctor Jin Ziguanglu?"

Her information was quite good. Li Yi was a little depressed and nodded: "I don't know what your Majesty is thinking. Isn't this nonsense..."

Li Mingzhu glanced at him and looked at Lush Congcao somewhere beside her, and said softly: "My father has appointed you as Doctor Jin Ziguanglu. Of course, he has his reasons. Don't talk nonsense..."
