"Thank you, Your Highness, for your teaching." All the students said in unison.
They now admire Li Hong so much and behave respectfully, not only because Li Hong is the prince, but also because Li Hong used his erudition to conquer these pretentious students who thought they were smarter than others.
And the most important thing is that Li Hong gave them the space for their imagination to be unrestrained, and took off the formality and pedantry of the literati in them, allowing each of them to release the advantages they are proud of. space, no longer limited to their understanding and exploration of the knowledge of the sages.
"Practice is the only criterion for testing all truth. No matter what kind of macro theory you come up with, I respect it. If you want to experiment, I will provide you with funds and materials. As the saying goes, 'Three hundred and sixty lines, line, line, line' It is impossible for everyone to be knowledgeable and talented. I only hope that you will be good at what you like and follow a path that you boldly explore. The sages have provided us with a foundation and created a path for us. But what if we end up in thorns? Should we turn back? No! What I need is for you to continue walking and create your own path for future generations to follow," Li Hong said solemnly.
"I sincerely obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's will." All the students said in unison again.
Li Hong divided the 500 people in the Chongwen Hall into ten classes. They were not divided into subjects like in the previous life, but they were all together as a big pot. He wanted to see how such a mixture could be achieved in the end. What kind of results will occur.
What's more, the current teaching staff does not allow him to make decisions on the division of subjects. He can only follow the current policy to liberate their thinking, so that they dare to explore more and not shrink from the achievements left by their predecessors.
There are fifty people in one class, and two classes of one hundred people in the same year. The ten classes are divided into classes according to the ten heavenly stems and earthly branches, A, B, C, D, and W. When the students are promoted to Class B, which is Yu Wenrong’s current class, There will be plenty of hands-on opportunities for them to demonstrate everything they’ve learned.
When they reach Class A, they are required to write an article about their thoughts. Li Hong will use these to select the talents he needs. The remaining ones can be placed in Taiyi City, or they can choose to take the scientific examination by themselves, or even Recommended to others etc.
They are the first group of people to have fully mastered pinyin, punctuation, simple mathematics, physics and other subjects. Led by Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren, they showed enthusiastic interest in physics and mathematics.
Yu Wenrong's grandfather, Yu Wenkai, was the planner of Chang'an City and the designer of the canal. The Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties used a large number of advanced mathematical methods in this era.
Therefore, these two people seem to have a genetic inheritance in this area, showing great interest and talent in these.
Wang Bo and Yang Jiong are now following Shangguan Yi, and they have also shown amazing talents in annotating Chinese characters. This is also attributed to the fact that they read a lot of sages' books at the beginning.
Unknowingly, Li Hong wandered around Chongwen Hall until noon. After dining with Shangguanyi and other gentlemen, he returned to the East Palace.
Hardworking and resentful are already waiting. Compared with the bumpkin image they had in previous years, the two of them are completely different.
Two people with the same appearance looked full of energy, with rosy faces and full of energy.
At this moment, they are already the elites in Taiyi City's penalty area and enjoy high prestige in the penalty area.
As soon as he sat down, before he could ask any questions, Hua Meng suddenly ran in with a panic look on his face.
Li Hong's face turned cold and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, Master Xu Yu (yu three times) has been imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment." Hua Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
Li Hong frowned tightly. Xu Yushi was the prince Zhan Shi of the East Palace. According to the six-ministry system of Tang San Province, the position of prince Zhan Shi was like a functional department of the Shangshu Province, but now he was detained by the Ministry of Punishment.
"Do you know why?" Li Hong asked.
"Back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, it is said that it was because Xu Zhanshi's son Xu Ziran shot and killed someone, and Xu Zhanshi knew about it and did not report it. He did not want to be known by the censor. Now he is detained by the Ministry of Punishment for trial." Hua Meng did not dare to raise his head. .
Since early this morning, the Crown Prince has had nothing to be happy about. Princess Lanling has raised a difficult problem for the Crown Prince before she has time to ask, so another problem arises.
"Go down, I understand." Li Hong moved his neck and said with a somewhat nonchalant expression.
"Who is this? Why are you asking yourself difficult questions one after another?" Li Hong kept mumbling.
If Li Hong interrogates Li Yifu at this time, he will naturally get the accurate answer he wants. Unfortunately, Li Yifu has been imprisoned by him and he has not had time to interrogate him. So he had no choice but to make guesses about his father, emperor, mother, and several clan princes and others.
Li Hong pretended to be relaxed, which made the hard-working people on the side tremble in their hearts. Even if the prince didn't come to see them today, they would still go to the palace to see the prince, because something happened in Taiyi City.
"Is there anything strange in the restricted area?" Li Hong put aside Master Xu Yu's worries and raised his head and asked.
With a pop, Ren Lai's knees softened, and they both knelt on the ground at the same time.
Seeing this scene, Li Hong sighed helplessly, and the scene he least wanted to see appeared. It seems that something went wrong in Taiyi City.
"Get up, tell me what's going on?" Li Hong asked, suppressing the depression in his heart.
"The prince atoned for his sins. A large amount of mercury was lost in restricted area A."
"When was it lost?"
"It was lost last night. Miss Bai Chun discovered it early this morning and ordered us to rush back to report it to you."
"You were able to evade the six rate guards and then transport the mercury? Your hands and eyes are all over the sky. Is there anything else?" After Li Hong heard that the mercury was also lost, he calmed down.
"Back to the Crown Prince, Zuo... General Zuo Wei disappeared yesterday." Ren Lao said with his head close to the ground, trembling.
Although they had never seen the prince get angry since they met him, for some reason, the prince who was becoming calmer at the moment made them feel frightened and chilled from the inside out.
"Liang Jianfang is missing?" Li Hong tried his best to keep his head clear and calm.
Liang Jianfang was a fierce general who was almost as famous as Xue Rengui. He was specially assigned to him by his father after he was crowned prince. General Zuowei, who was appointed by himself as one of the six commanders of the prince, disappeared mysteriously last night
Xia Zhi obediently brought over a wet towel that had just been soaked in cold water and helped Li Hong wipe his face.
"Summer Solstice, where are Jingzhe and Cheetah now? Order them to search for Liang Jianfang immediately. They want to see the person alive and the corpse if he dies." Li Hong had a bad feeling. He was afraid that by the time he found Liang Jianfang, he would already be a cold corpse. Dead body.
"Jingzhe is in Luoyang. Cheetah sent a letter early this morning. He is expected to arrive in Chang'an in the evening." Xia Zhi said softly.
"The situation is unfavorable. Jingzhe and Cheetah are suddenly so far away from me at this time! Haha..."
Li Hong suddenly laughed. Now it seems that this situation is not just about his mother or his father. It is obvious that both his father and his mother care about him very much. It seems that they both took action against him at the same time.
They are really a couple, they just take action, they actually choose to be together, making themselves become like trapped animals all of a sudden.
It is not difficult to understand Li Hong's guess. The difficult problem Princess Lanling gave him was obviously instigated by his mother, and the confinement of Master Xu Yue was probably inseparable from his mother.
The Cheetah and Jingzhe happened to not be with him at this time. The two transformed leaders of the Li Jingmen, only his father could command them to move them, happened to be only a hundred miles away from him at this time.
And Liang Jianfang was given to him by his father. He disappeared for no reason last night and lost a lot of mercury. It was obvious that this was a situation planned together.
Where is Bai Chun? Whose role does Bai Chun play in Taiyi City? Li Hong frowned again. Bai Chun was not just pure. He had known about this for a long time. He had discovered something fishy when he brought her into the palace.
Why was a foreign woman brought into the palace by him, and his father and mother only asked him symbolically, and then no matter how Wang Kang, Wang Jing, Liu Shuang and others were convicted, Bai Chun was able to be just like everyone else, and he After going to the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple several times, everyone seemed to have heard Bai Chun's name for the first time, and they all looked puzzled.
"Report..."
The eunuch's voice announcing outside was so frightening that Li Hong almost fell off his chair. If Xia Zhi hadn't been quick to hold his arm, the wandering Li Hong would have slipped to the ground.
"The main event is here, let's see where and what happened." Li Hong grabbed Xia Zhi's jade hand and sat firmly on the chair, with an incomprehensible smile on his face.
Hua Meng, who was working at the door, stopped the panting eunuch. The eunuch handed the secret letter in his hand to Hua Meng and said with a heavy breath: "Taiyi City Chixin."
"Bring it here." Li Hong became anxious upon hearing this. Chixin was also the level he classified for secret letters based on the organizational structure of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. On the contrary, unlike other organizational structures, Chixin was the highest level.
Hua Meng hurriedly grabbed the letter from the eunuch's hand, walked into the room quickly and handed the letter to Li Hong, then immediately stepped back five steps away.
Xia Zhi did the same, letting go of Li Hong's hand and slowly retreated five steps away.
"The person who sent the secret letter is still outside the palace, announcing his entry into the palace. But is there anything else I want to bring?" Li Hong asked anxiously while tearing the envelope.
"Back to Your Highness, the person at the door has left, leaving only one sentence. The original words are: The medicinal recipe was stolen in a fire this morning." The eunuch looked at Li Hong who was sending a private message and replied.
Li Hong's hands froze immediately and he became completely motionless. The secret message in his hand suddenly became less important.
After a while, Li Hong handed the unopened Chixin to Xia Zhi and said slowly: "Burn it."
"Your Highness, please calm down." Xia Zhi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"It is said that lawlessness has entered the palace." Li Hong stood up from his chair and said calmly.
Xia Zhi trembled all over, and the red letter in his hand almost fell to the ground. With trembling hands, he quickly took out the fire seal and burned the red letter in full view of everyone.
