Chapter 504: Zhao Jingxuan Meets His Nemesis
Zhao Jingxuan's dislike for Xu Jue and Wei Ziang mostly comes from the dislike of poor students for good students.
Every time he made a mistake, his uncle would say something bad about these two people and belittle him as if he were worthless.
Do these two have good things to say about their uncle?
Why doesn't he think so?
What else can they do besides studying hard?
Can you ride a horse? Can you shoot arrows? Can you fight crickets?
You know, his riding skills are among the best among the princes, and he is also very good at archery. His undefeated generals are invincible in the world.
Of course, he would never admit that he was jealous of the two boys. He was jealous that his mother and uncle were so cruel to him, but praised them so much!
No matter which reason was dominant, he just disliked these two guys.
However, for the sake of his reputation as an ever-victorious general, he had no choice but to endure the humiliation.
…
Imperial College.
There are thirty-one students in Class A, and two people sit next to each other.
Zhao Jingxuan sat in the last row, alone at a table. He was always in a nonchalant and arrogant manner.
Everyone knew that he was a prince. Some people tried to curry favor with him, while others looked down on him.
He looked down on those who tried to curry favor with him, and he would respond coldly to those who looked down on him, so he kept to himself in the Imperial College.
Zhao Jingxuan drew his ever-victorious general on paper.
This is what motivates me to make friends with Wei Ziang and Xu Jue.
Zhao Jingxuan glanced at his undefeated general, then stood up and walked to the row behind the two men.
There were originally two people sitting behind Xu Jue and Wei Ziang, one was called Gao Cheng, who was from the capital, and the other was called Shen Wenhan, who was from Qinghe.
Zhao Jingxuan looked at Gao Cheng and Shen Wenhan: "I want to sit in this row."
Shen Wenhan was a little timid, but he didn't move.
He was also from Qinghe County, and was from the same hometown as Xu Jue and Wei Ziang, so he was naturally close to them and admired them both. He knew that Zhao Jingxuan and the two of them were not on good terms, and Zhao Jingxuan's presence would definitely affect them...
"Why are you sitting here? There are two people sitting here, and there is no room for a third person." Shen Wenhan said weakly with a sickly look of defeat on his face.
"I'll give you my seat. I'll sit in the back." Gao Cheng said immediately.
Then he carried his things and went to the back row.
Shen Wenhan: “…”
There was some worry between his brows as he glanced at Zhao Jingxuan.
Zhao Jingxuan glared at him, and Shen Wenhan immediately withdrew his gaze and continued reading the book.
Zhao Jingxuan sat down and caught sight of two white figures out of the corner of his eyes. He raised his head and saw Xu Jue and Wei Ziang walking side by side from outside. Both of them were holding books in their hands, exuding a scholarly air and looking gentle and elegant.
So coquettish!
Zhao Jingxuan snorted.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue also saw Zhao Jingxuan sitting in the back row and were a little surprised.
Zhao Jingxuan raised his chin, waiting for the two of them to greet him.
For the sake of his undefeated generalship, he decided to do him a favor and respond.
The two of them quickly withdrew their gazes, sat down and started reading.
Zhao Jingxuan: “…”
"Zi'ang, how about we have a debate?" Xu Jue said.
"Very good." Wei Ziang said.
Shen Wenhan raised his hand: "Brother Xu, Brother Wei, can I join you?"
Xu Jue nodded: "Of course."
Xu Jue came up with a debate topic, and the three of them started debating.
At first, Shen Wenhan could still say a few words, but later on, he could no longer keep up and the debate turned into a debate between Xu Jue and Wei Ziang.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang talked freely and exchanged ideas with each other based on their knowledge, which was very exciting.
The two young men were full of vigor and vitality, and were extremely dazzling.
Many students gathered around unconsciously and listened to the debate between the two, feeling that they benefited a lot.
Zhao Jingxuan felt drowsy after listening to this. What was there to argue about? He might as well get some more sleep instead of wasting time.
He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and the boy's clear voice gradually faded away.
"Zhao Jingxuan!"
Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Zhao Jingxuan quickly stood up.
"exist!"
The one staring at him with a cold face was his uncle, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
Liang Yu's expression was very ugly: "Wipe your saliva."
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue in the front seat turned to look at him. Ah, they were being laughed at by these two guys!
Zhao Jingxuan blushed with shame and wiped his mouth quickly.
"Sit down." Liang Yu said.
Only then did Zhao Jingxuan dare to sit down.
Zhao Jingxuan naturally didn't dare to be absent-minded while Liang Yu was giving a lecture. He could only force himself to stay alert and listen.
After Liang Yu finished the lecture, he handed out test questions for the students to do.
The first few questions are about posting scriptures.
The so-called "Tiejing" is to extract a sentence from the Confucian classics, give only a few words of it, and fill in the remaining words.
Zhao Jingxuan felt a headache when he looked at the test questions.
Not a single one.
His eyes fell on the two young men in front of him.
Wei Ziang and Xu Jue both sat upright, holding their pens, and wrote quickly on the paper. It was not difficult at all.
Zhao Jingxuan had excellent eyesight. He secretly glanced at Wei Ziang's test paper and saw a few words at a glance.
He was suddenly delighted and went to look at the words.
As if sensing Zhao Jingxuan's gaze, Wei Ziang moved the test paper in front of him until it completely blocked his sight.
Zhao Jingxuan: “…”
Zhao Jingxuan glanced to the other side and saw Xu Jue's test paper lying there in a blatant manner.
Zhao Jingxuan saw it at a glance.
Zhao Jingxuan quickly copied them and soon filled up the scroll!
Zhao Jingxuan looked at Xu Jue with appreciation.
Xu Jue must have shown the answer to himself on purpose.
This Xu Jue is much more sensible than that brat Wei Ziang.
The child is teachable, very good.
At this moment, Xu Jue raised his hand.
Liang Yu's gaze fell on him. He had a stern face but gentle eyes.
"Xu Jue, what's the matter?"
"Sir, Zhao Jingxuan copied the students' answers." Xu Jue said.
Liang Yu looked at Zhao Jingxuan, and his gentle eyes immediately became murderous.
"I...I didn't copy!" Zhao Jingxuan immediately stood up and defended himself, "Sir, I'm being wronged!"
"In this sentence, 'The virtue of the mean is the highest, isn't it?', I wrote 'virtue' as 'de', and the rest of the calligraphy is correct. If Brother Zhao only got the word 'virtue' wrong, I would like to ask Brother Zhao, is there such a coincidence?" Xu Jue said.
Zhao Jingxuan quickly picked up his test paper.
De...de...
Ah, he really writes well!
Xu Jue did it on purpose!
He's being tricked!
This bad guy!
Zhao Jingxuan was almost angry to death.
"Brother Zhao, the sage said, 'Be sincere in your words and loyal in your actions.' The sage also said, 'Work so hard that you forget to eat, be so happy that you forget your worries, and you will not be aware that old age is approaching.' Do you understand?" Xu Jue said.
Zhao Jingxuan was stunned and looked at him stupidly.
"It seems that Brother Zhao doesn't understand what I am talking about. You will understand if you read more." Xu Jue said.
Zhao Jingxuan: “…”
This is a mockery of his ignorance!
Ahhh, he's so mad!
How come this kid is so sharp-tongued and full of evil intentions!
But he couldn't say anything to refute it.
"'Be honest in your words and upright in your actions' means 'Be honest in your words and upright in your actions', and 'Work so hard that you forget to eat, be so happy that you forget your worries, and you will not realize that old age is approaching' means that studying is a very happy thing..." Wei Ziang explained seriously.
Zhao Jingxuan understood now.
Comparing these two brats, Wei Ziang is still a better person.
"Of course, you don't understand the joy of reading, so first of all, be upright in your actions and don't plagiarize." Wei Ziang said seriously.
Zhao Jingxuan: “…”
Ahhh, he's so mad!
Zhao Jingxuan's behavior corrupted the moral atmosphere, Liang Jijiu was very angry and punished him severely.
Thirty strokes with a ruler, two days of kneeling as punishment, and fifty recitations of the "Royal Regulations" chapter in the "Book of Rites".
Zhao Jingxuan almost fainted when he heard the punishment decided by Liang Jijiu.
Not only will they be beaten with a ruler, but they will also have to kneel down, and after kneeling down they will have to copy books!
Kill him!
In the palace, Concubine Liang also heard what happened in the Imperial College. She did not feel sorry for her son, but laughed instead.
Damn! How dare you copy someone else's answer!
This brat has met his nemesis.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang are really interesting kids.
