Chapter 2941 Acting in a play (Part 2)
Li Jing sighed: "It's not that I don't want to pay attention, it's just that these students have been undisciplined since childhood, or have low quality. I have always enforced orders and prohibitions when using troops, and military disciplines are strict, but after all, these are students, and each of them is a seed for reading. I can't watch it." Whoever disobeys the military order will be punished by military law? It is really difficult for the Duke of Yue."
Li Zhi on the side kept nodding in agreement.
From ancient times to the present, the status of scholars has always been extremely noble. After all, among hundreds of millions of common people, how many people have the opportunity to study and can read well? Every scholar is a treasure of the country. It’s just a matter of practicing some physical fitness. Can he really be whipped for more than a dozen times or even show his head in public?
If this is really the case, if nothing else, those Yushitai officials will go crazy and impeach Li Jing.
And who is Li Jing?
Because of his unparalleled achievements in the past, he was deeply jealous of his father. In recent years, he did not dare to lead any soldiers to avoid suspicion. That is to say, my father has a broad mind. If it were any other emperor, I am afraid that he would have found a crime and given him a glass of poisonous wine and three feet of white silk to kill himself.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Jing dare to show off?
Fang Jun looked ugly, and seemed to think that Li Jingzhi's words had some truth, so he waved his hands and said gloomily: "Rotten wood cannot be carved... That's all, Duke Wei can just practice casually. Aren't these guys with wine bags and rice bags weak in physical strength and unable to practice?" ? Then let the academy strictly control the assessment, and those who are a little slack in their studies will be punished! ”
Some students standing nearby heard this and turned pale with fright.
When the academy was first established, everyone did everything possible to get a spot. They thought that as long as they entered the academy, they would be the emperor's disciples and their career would be guaranteed. And with the connections among his classmates, he will be able to make a difference in the future and leave his name in history.
However, after arriving at the academy, many people couldn't bear it.
In other places, you only need to study a subset of classics and history. If you even study those history books once, you will be a scholar and be superior to others. However, in academies, one must not only study the classics and history, but also learn mathematics and inquiry. If the classics and history can only be memorized by rote, mathematics and inquiry require a certain amount of talent. Some students can master it with just one click. And some people are not enlightened at all. They face a bunch of numbers and those weird object-checking experiments every day, with one head and two big eyes, and a black eye...
This causes the learning burden to increase exponentially.
Moreover, the academy's assessment is very strict. If two of the three subjects fail in the assessment, for three times, you will be expelled from the academy and deported to your place of origin...
They all came to the academy with a halo and placed countless hopes on their families. If they were deported to their place of origin, how could they have the dignity to meet people in the rest of their lives?
Now that they heard that Fang Jun was going to make the test more difficult, everyone was ready to die.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Academy’s consumption of lamp oil and candles will increase significantly in the coming days...
Li Jing spread his hands, looking like he had nothing to do.
He is indeed worthy of the comment that he "uses soldiers like a god", but after all, he is a man and not a god. Facing a group of students who are destined to become the main force of the imperial official class in the future, what else can he do?
Fang Jun invited Li Zhi to sit in the academy. Li Zhi readily agreed and took Li Jing with him.
Li Jing was a little hesitant: "Although these students are shameless, the duty of an old minister cannot be abandoned..."
Fang Jun interrupted him and said: "Let them go. Just send a school captain to keep an eye on them and don't make a big joke. It's getting late. Let's go have a drink with His Highness."
Li Jing had no choice but to follow the advice, gave a few instructions to the school captain, and followed Fang Jun and Li Zhi to the academy surrounded by guards.
When the group of people walked away, the captain looked away, with a grin on his face. His eyes passed over the faces of the students, and he showed his white teeth and said grimly: "Very good, the performance just now was considered qualified. But so It’s not enough to become your official results. If your military training results are not up to standard, whether you are a child from an aristocratic family or a student from a poor family, there is only one outcome, and that is expulsion from school and repatriation to your hometown!”
The surrounding soldiers were so frightened that they straightened their backs and said in unison: "Here!"
The captain yelled: "Then what are you waiting for? Do you still want to have lunch? Now start heading to the destination. The last twenty people who arrived not only did not have lunch, they also had to do a hundred push-ups!"
"Boom!"
A group of students turned around quickly and ran forward like rabbits being chased by evil wolves. Each one of them fought bravely to get ahead, but there was no trace of the scattered and decadent look they had just now.
……
Fang Jun and Li Jing accompanied Li Zhi for a walk around the academy, and then had lunch in the cafeteria.
Lunch was also very simple. Li Zhi refused the kitchen's intention to prepare a table with good noodles and insisted on eating the same meal as the students.
Since he had such a request, Fang Jun would not tolerate him, so he ordered every dish in the cafeteria, collected more than a dozen kinds, found a table to sit down at, and prepared a jar of good wine. .
"The conditions are simple and I am neglecting Your Highness. It is a courtesy for me to do my best first."
Fang Jun raised his glass, said a polite word, and drank it down in one gulp.
Li Jing also had a drink with him.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "We are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite? I am an uninvited guest. I am already very happy to receive the hospitality. I don't dare to care about it anymore."
Also had a drink.
Fang Jun filled the wine glass on the table, raised the glass again, and said: "I wanted to show His Highness the beauty of the students in military training, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a bunch of rabble. It's really embarrassing. I'll fine you a drink to express my apology."
Raise your glass and drink it up again.
Li Jing looked unhappy: "I am at fault for this matter, what does it have to do with Erlang? Fortunately, I have always boasted of my ability in training soldiers, but now I am helpless and feel ashamed."
Had another drink.
Li Zhi comforted him: "I also saw it just now. Those students are pampered and pampered. After all, they are not real soldiers. How can they be like the army? It's useless for anyone to do this kind of thing. Duke Wei doesn't need to Blame yourself.”
Also drink up the wine in the cup.
Fang Jun poured wine again and raised the glass: "With this glass, I wish His Highness good health and good spirits!"
As he spoke, he was about to bring it to his mouth.
"Duke Yue...brother-in-law, wait, wait!"
Li Zhi hurriedly pulled Fang Jun, feeling a little flustered, and said with a wry smile: "I just had a whim today and wanted to come to the academy with my brother-in-law to have some fun. How can I tolerate you drinking one glass at a time? Stay? Your drinking capacity is unparalleled, but I can’t! Let’s drink slowly and have a casual chat, okay?”
He was really frightened.
Somehow, this guy probably saw his intention to come to the academy to see the real situation. Although he didn't say anything along the way, he waited here.
How much alcohol does Fang Jun have? If he were to drink freely today, he would have to be drunk for three days and three nights without waking up...
Fang Jun stared and said displeased: "What did your Highness say? Since you call Wei Chen brother-in-law, let's just talk about personal friendship at this moment, regardless of title. Come on, come on, brother-in-law toasts to you, if you don't want to drink , that means not giving face to my brother-in-law, but don’t blame your brother-in-law for getting angry!”
He clinked the wine glass in his hand with the glass Li Zhi placed on the table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Zhi almost slapped himself. At this time, why should we get close? I called my brother-in-law, and the man climbed up along the pole. He knew that this guy was not just talking. If he really resisted and refused to drink, he might really break out and kill himself.
My brother-in-law beat his brother-in-law at the wine table, and it was all in vain...
Li Zhi hurriedly looked at Li Jing and begged: "Mr. Wei, you must uphold justice! Otherwise, this guy will have to beat me to death today!"
Li Jing laughed loudly, stroking his beard and said to Fang Jun: "Erlang, please don't scare His Highness. Your Highness is still young after all, and his body has not grown yet. How can he withstand your drinking capacity? Let's talk casually, just the right amount, just the right amount." .”
It was impossible for Fang Jun not to give Li Jing face, so he snorted and said: "A manly man, if he can't even drink, what else can he do? He has no future!"
Li Zhi didn't dare to refute at all, so he could only keep his smile: "My brother-in-law taught me a lesson. I will practice my drinking ability more in the future. After I master it, I can accompany my brother-in-law well."
He knew that Fang Jun was born in the year of a donkey and had to be tamed. How could he dare to act like a prince? Speaking of which, there are not only one or two princes in this court who have been beaten by Fang Jun. Even the King of Shu, who is called "like a beast" by his father, is as well-behaved as a cat in front of Fang Jun...( End of chapter)
