Li Jue didn't even write half of it, let alone half of it...
He's too busy leading Sanglinzhuang to prosperity to have time to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics or practice calligraphy.
However, he had already asked the people at the Xianyang City School for help, and the amount of homework he did was up to standard, but the quality was a bit lacking.
Therefore, when he heard Old Li's questioning, he immediately retorted.
"Who said I didn't write it? I finished writing it a long time ago!"
"Are you really done writing?"
Li Shimin didn't believe it at all. He knew this grandson too well. It was only thanks to the blessings of their ancestors that he was able to finish writing half of it!
"I think I've finished writing..."
What does "calculate" mean?
"If it was written, it was written; if it wasn't written, it wasn't written!"
"Yuchi Fan, you'd better bring me more willow branches. If I don't break a dozen or so today, I doubt I'll be able to beat this brat!"
"Okay!"
There are willow trees at the entrance of the courtyard. Although they were transplanted later, they have grown lush and leafy over the past few months.
Yuchi Fan not only broke off ten willow branches of varying thicknesses, but also thoughtfully removed the leaves to make it easier for His Majesty to strike.
"Master, the willow branch has returned!"
Li Shimin picked up a stick and waved it in the air, instantly producing a buzzing sound that sent chills down Li Jue's spine.
"You brat, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take out your homework!"
"oh!"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, Li Jue had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out the thick stack of homework, respectfully handing it to Old Li.
Li Shimin took it and carefully flipped through it, nodding in satisfaction.
"Um!"
"The first few pages were pretty good. It's clear you've been practicing your handwriting diligently; it's much better than it was at the beginning..."
Just as Li Shimin was praising him, his finger flipped to the back and saw two completely different fonts from the front.
"Huh!"
"Why does it get worse and worse as you write it? Did you not write this one?"
"yes!"
"Did you really write this?"
"Right..."
"Is it true or not?!"
"yes!"
Li Shimin was already quite angry upon hearing this. He could tell at a glance that it had been written by someone else, and this brat was still stubbornly lying. He patiently continued to flip through the pages, and seeing the various handwriting styles, he was absolutely furious.
It turns out that this brat had more than one person help him with his homework; there must have been at least a dozen!
"I'm asking you one last time, you have to tell the truth, did you write the homework at the end?"
"Right..."
Did you really write this yourself?
Li Jue originally intended to deny it to the death, but for some reason, seeing the disappointed look in Old Li's eyes made his heart tremble for no reason.
"no……"
"I asked the children from Xianyang Hope School to help me write it..."
Li Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Jue tell the truth. If the child had denied it earlier, he might have turned around and left, never to see the child again.
Seeing that the child was honest with him, he not only smiled but also felt a sense of relief.
fine!
With proper discipline, they can still become successful!
"What did we tell you last time?"
"One thousand words a day, one lash for every word less..."
"Anything else?"
"And...and hanging them up and beating them..."
"Hmph!"
Li Shimin said in a deep, muffled voice.
"You remember it quite clearly, so why are you still unwilling to do your homework?"
"I……"
"Uncle Li, I really don't want to do my homework. It's useless for me to do it!"
"Look at our Sanglin Village, we're so poor we can barely afford to eat. How can I have the mind to study? I have to lead them to prosperity!"
"quibble!"
"I'm not making excuses. I have only one dream in my life: to make every household in Sanglin Village rich and live a good life!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"Just tell me today, will you accept the punishment or not!"
Li Jue glanced at the willow branches on the table, closed his eyes in anguish, and then said very straightforwardly.
"recognize!"
"Just accept it!"
"Yuchi Fan, strip him naked and hang him from the tree!"
"promise!"
Upon hearing that he should take off his clothes, Li Jue immediately objected. There were two women in the courtyard; wouldn't he be exposed to their nakedness?
"no!"
"You can hit me however you want, just don't take off your clothes!"
"You're only a few years old, a little thing who hasn't even grown all its feathers yet, and you already know what shame is!"
"If you really know shame, then you should honestly do your homework for me..."
Despite Li Jue's desperate struggle, he was still stripped naked by Yuchi Fan and hung from the old locust tree in the courtyard.
Before the fight even started, Li Shimin felt sorry for Li Jue and kept telling Yuchi Fan to lower the rope a little further until Li Jue's feet touched the ground before it was over.
The reason was simple: Li Er was afraid of hurting Da Sun's wrist...
This annoyed Yuchi Fan, who was watching the spectacle from the sidelines. He thought to himself, "His feet are already on the ground, and this is still called hanging from a tree to beat him?"
Is this a fight fought while standing on the ground?
Although Li Shimin's "hanging on a tree" was a bit of a downgrade, when the small willow branches were waved, Li Jue was still whipped around and bounced.
"Old Li, spare me... Ouch... Spare me..."
"Hmph!"
"It's too late to beg for mercy now. You guys keep track of the count, and we'll stop once we've hit you 10,000 times!"
