I really became a prince

As soon as the words "snake, scorpion and poisonous woman" came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

No one expected that things would develop to this point, openly denouncing the queen of a country as a poisonous woman, and the Yijun king in front of him is the No. 1 in all ages.

They knew that King Yi and the queen were already in the same situation, and there was no possibility of reconciling the conflict between them, but they still had to do some superficial work, especially when the other party was the empress, how could they blatantly scold and insult her like this?

"Oh, I'm still too young after all..." Most of the people present sighed secretly.

"Is this kid crazy?" Prince Yi Jiang Mo and others stared blankly at Jiang Yi standing there, their faces full of worry.

Including them, many people could not understand Ye Xinmei's so-called so-called, and even secretly gritted their teeth with hatred, but it was deeply hidden in their hearts, and no one dared to openly put it on the stage.

But Jiang Yi did this anyway, it was cool, and they felt it was cool when they heard it, but the consequences were very serious.

Even Ning Donglai, who had always been scheming and thought he would eat his future son-in-law to death, was dumbfounded at this moment, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling like pushing his precious daughter into a fire pit.

Jiang Zhenyi, the emperor of Dali, was directly stunned by the words Jiang Yi. He never thought that things would turn out like this, and then he was furious, stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily:

"You bastard, how can you talk to your grandmother and not admit your mistake to your grandmother!"

As for Ye Xinmei, she trembled all over, looking at Jiang Yi with boundless killing intent.

After hearing Jiang Zhen's indifferent words, she calmed down instead. She recognized the other party's voice, and classified the fierce confrontation just now into internal conflicts within the family.

Many people who originally planned to stand up and attack Jiang Yi quietly retreated after hearing this sentence. It seems that now is not the time for them to act.

After Jiang Yi heard Jiang Zhenyi's words, he knew that he had guessed right. No matter what the imperial grandfather had done to him in the past three months, it was obvious that he had no intention of completely abandoning him.

At least not yet, which means that he is still useful in the other party's mysterious plan.

"Yes, my grandson made a slip of the tongue."

Jiang Yi didn't continue to be tough, but bowed slightly, and said something ambiguous, which was regarded as a response to the emperor's words.

"It's okay, it's because the emperor's grandmother doesn't care too much about you."

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ye Xinmei, who was ranked as the empress, didn't show any signs of getting angry after being publicly scolded, but said something with a smile on the contrary.

Judging from the meaning of this voice, the scene just now seemed to be a turning point.

But everyone knew that this was impossible. Since the two of them had completely torn their skins apart, they would no longer have any scruples. A bloody storm was coming.

What's more, the conflict between Prince Yi and the Bailing Ye family has already reached the point of irreconcilability, either you die or I die, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.

Many people looked at Jiang Yi, who was still calm and calm, and secretly worried: Are you really ready?

Dali Emperor Jiang Zhenyi had a gratified smile on his face, as if he was satisfied with resolving the conflict, he laughed and said, "Okay, it's a family, everything is happy with family harmony."

Inside and outside the square, tens of 10 people heard this sentence, and they didn't know how to make an excuse, so they could only smile dryly and bow their heads in agreement.

Even the backs of many people are already chilling. Today's grand court meeting is full of weirdness. The king is not the king, and the ministers are not ministers. On the contrary, it is more like a family gathering, which is too childish.

Since the establishment of the Dali Dynasty, there has never been such a random court meeting.This is probably the temporary tranquility before the storm, but I don't know if I can get out of it when the storm really comes.

Many people secretly sighed, it seemed impossible to be alone in the coming storm.

Since you can't be alone, what should you do then?

"Dong Chengyang." After a storm "subsided" inexplicably, Ye Xinmei was the first to speak out again, while Jiang Zhenyi, the emperor of Dali, still showed the appearance of throwing his hands away as the shopkeeper.

"Xiaomin is here." Dong Chengyang bowed in response.

"You heard what King Yi said just now. He has high hopes for you calligraphers. Do you think you can take on this important task?"

Dong Chengyang looked at a loss. This question is actually a question he has been thinking about for the past few years. What is the purpose of reading?But there is nothing to gain, every time I faintly feel enlightened, it stops abruptly at a critical moment.

He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yi, no matter how slow his reaction was, he realized the dangerous situation the other party was facing at this time, sighed in his heart, and made a decision.

"The little people are terrified and have lost the high hopes of the prince, so it is difficult to take on this important task, so..."

After saying this sentence, the person suddenly aged a lot, and became the ragged, cringing old man with a hunchback a few years ago again.

Jiang Yi sighed, knowing what the other party meant, he was planning to give up Tianxia Academy completely.

Ye Xinmei glanced at Jiang Yi, as if to say that this is the scholar you have always maintained and respected?But there was a warm smile on his mouth, and he interrupted:

"My lord calls you scholars, and I highly respect you. For this reason, I don't hesitate to protect the world's schools. Why do you have to belittle yourself?"

"Today, I only ask you one question. As long as I can answer it, I will agree to keep the Tianxia Academy."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the square outside the palace, and said loudly: "Including you, anyone who can answer it will be counted, including Prince Yi."

Everyone present was extremely curious when they heard this sentence, secretly speculating what the problem might be?In particular, the tens of thousands of calligraphers secretly clenched their fists, and they seemed to see a glimmer of light.

Ye Xinmei stood up and took a few steps forward. She was wearing a phoenix crown and a robe, which was extremely dazzling in the square where 10,000+ people gathered.

Even Jiang Zhenyi, the Emperor of Great Li who was sitting on the main seat, seemed a little bleak at this moment.

Jiang Yi squinted at the "grandmother" in front of him, then at the "grandfather" who was standing there with an indifferent expression, and shook his head secretly.

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. In fact, during the fierce confrontation just now, he wanted to make a fuss about this issue, but he held back in the end.

After all, in that case, even this "grandfather" might be offended, and now is not the time.

"Since the establishment of the Tianxia Academy, it has taught countless young children to read and write. This is a merit, but that's all, because this is the responsibility of the Tianxia Academy. Apart from this, can the Tianxia Academy do anything else? "

Ye Xinmei spoke slowly, looking directly at Dong Chengyang.

"Ben Gong put it more bluntly. For so many years, you calligraphers have only used Tianxia Xuegong as a tool to support your family. Have you ever done anything else?"

Dong Chengyang's face became a little pale, and the tens of thousands of calligraphers gathered outside the palace also had similar expressions. Although this sentence is one-sided, it is a fact. For many years, these calligraphers, besides enlightening young children to read and write Besides, there is really nothing else to do.

"Xiaomin..." Dong Chengyang wanted to say something with a trembling voice, but Ye Xinmei didn't give him a chance, his expression changed, and he reprimanded:

"Now I want to ask you a question. You scholars don't practice martial arts, don't guard the frontier, and spend all day with books, without the strength to restrain chickens. What is the purpose? Or what is the meaning of your existence as scholars? "

"This is what I want to ask you today. If you can't answer, there is no need for the Tianxia Academy to exist. I believe that without you calligraphers, there is still a way to enlighten young children to read and write."

"As for you, go home and be safe!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Xinmei glanced at the audience, glanced at the Emperor Jiang Zhenyi, and sat back down again.

Both inside and outside the palace fell into silence.

In fact, this is also one of the grievances that most people have towards Tianxia Academy or bookmakers. If you don’t practice martial arts, don’t guard the frontiers, don’t do production, and don’t have the strength to restrain chickens, why should the entire Dali Dynasty support you?

Of course, the vast majority of people also agree that reading is beneficial to martial arts practice, and even a major foundation of secular martial arts, but how to stimulate and use this foundation to the greatest extent, as scholars, you have no achievements.

So what is the meaning of your existence as scholars?

Dong Chengyang's complexion became even paler, and he always felt that there was a burst of energy in his heart that was about to burst out, but every time it reached his heart, it collapsed without a trace, and he always felt that something was missing.

"Haha, as a scholar, I keep on defending the Tianxia Academy, but in the end I don't know the meaning of myself..." Someone couldn't help laughing.

"From this point of view, what's the point of keeping the Tianxia Academy?"

"How do you say it in the words of their scholars? Oh, by the way, it is really the best in the world!"

"..."

This question was so acute that not only Dong Chengyang was speechless, but even the tens of thousands of calligraphers gathered outside the palace were also speechless.

Then the hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the tens of thousands of calligraphers also looked at the tens of thousands of calligraphers who stood speechless with inexplicable eyes.

This question has also been asked in their hearts, and this is the fundamental reason why most of them reject bookmakers from the bottom of their hearts. With no means of earning a living, how can he be attractive to others?

It is also for this reason that almost the vast majority of people try their best to prevent their children from becoming calligraphers, even if they enter a wealthy family as slaves or handmaidens, they will never let them become bookmakers.

Of course, they also understand that reading and literacy is indeed beneficial to the worldly martial arts, but it is really limited. In the end, these bookmakers themselves have not lived up to their expectations and have not discovered the greatest value of their existence.

"It shouldn't be like this...it shouldn't be like this..."

Dong Chengyang seemed to be stupid, murmured repeatedly in his mouth, his eyes were slack, his energy was gone, and his whole body seemed to have lost his soul.

Seeing this, Ye Xinmei secretly felt complacent, and glanced at Jiang Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

But Jiang Yi's state at this time made her feel a little uncomfortable. The whole person stood there quietly, not only without any look of decadence, but like a big mountain, standing majestically.

This made her very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help sneering secretly, just as she was about to say something, Jiang Yi spoke by herself.

He sighed lightly, took a step forward, looked at Dong Chengyang, who was in a daze, and said, "Mr. Why are you doing this?"

Dong Chengyang raised his head and looked at Jiang Yi in a daze, his eyes lit up, but then they went out, and said bitterly: "It's disappointing the lord... this Tianxia Xuegong..."

Jiang Yi suddenly yelled, "Sir, you haven't woken up yet!"

"Hehe, it seems that Prince Yi must have some opinion, why not say it, let the tens of thousands of people present have a taste..." Ye Xinmei said with a half-smile, not hiding the sarcasm in her tone.

Jiang Yi glanced at Ye Xinmei, ignored her, just looked at Dong Chengyang, and said slowly: "Students, when you are rich, you can't be lewd, if you are poor, you can't be moved, and if you are mighty, you can't be subdued. This is the bone of a literati!"

Hearing this, Dong Chengyang raised his head and looked at Jiang Yi, his gloomy eyes had a gleam of light, and the decadence on his body was much less, and he finally regained some energy.

Jiang Yi continued: "Cultivate righteousness and establish a gentleman's prestige, this is the way to be a scholar."

"Why is your lord making detours here, why don't you just answer some of the queen's questions directly, this is what a scholar should mean today." Ye Xinmei said, with a smile on her brows.

"Hehe, what the empress said is very true, the prince should get straight to the point." One person came out and echoed.

"Yes, yes, what is righteousness, what is a gentleman's prestige, it sounds nice to say, but it doesn't answer the meaning of the existence of scholars."

"..."

Immediately, there was a series of echoes. Jiang Yi's two words just now were indeed a bit shocking, but they were avoiding the important ones, and did not answer the question just now at all.

Jiang Yi turned around and looked around, and saw that everyone's eyes were on him, some were laughing, some were worried, but there was no doubt that they were not optimistic about Tianxia Xuegong.

Jiang Yi's face was calm, but he was a little anxious in his heart. Ye Xinmei and the others basically blocked everything he wanted to say. Just relying on the three sentences of "do not practice martial arts, do not guard the frontier, and do not do production" can basically completely solve the problem. Sentenced to the death penalty of Tianxia Academy.

As for other things, such as the background of the worldly martial arts, they are all empty talk now, and they cannot be brought back to the situation at all.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was just silent there, some discussions gradually came to mind around him, especially the people from Ye Xinmei's family, who seemed to be waiting to see a joke.

"Speaking of which, the prince is not considered a scholar, so why bother to go through this muddy water..." Ye Xinmei persuaded, it sounded like it was for Jiang Yi's good, but the smirk on the brow did not intend to hide at all .

Jiang Yi glanced at her, and suddenly remembered a sentence from his previous life, which was just right for this situation, and his expression was fixed, and he said in a serious voice:

"Build a heart for the world, and a life for the people,"

What is the background of the worldly martial arts, but now it is all empty talk, and it cannot be brought back to the situation at all.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was just silent there, some discussions gradually came to mind around him, especially Ye Xinmei.
