"This kid is really crazy!" Long Ao's fingers trembled.

The controversy soon passed, and the spring exams began, with the examiners sitting on top of them in great seriousness, and the examinees began the three-day exam.

Three days later, the list will be released.

"It's on the list, it's on the list!" There were a lot of people gathered at the top of the list.

"At the top of the list is Li Mingjie? Why haven't you heard of it? Everyone talked about it, only Long Aotian in the corner had a very bad face.

He naturally knows who Li Mingjie is, but he is not the prodigy he mocked!

Xia Jingnian heard that the top of the list was a ten-year-old child and immediately summoned him.

"Xuan, Li Mingjie is here!" Outside the hall, the father-in-law sang loudly, and the ministers were also very curious about this prodigy who was only a teenager and could win the top spot.

Li Mingjie walked into the hall from the outside, and saw that he was dressed in cloth, which looked very simple, but the washing was very clean. This outfit is obviously not a noble son in the capital, and it seems that he should be a son of a poor family.

Li Mingjie was thoughtful, neither humble nor arrogant, kneeling down to kowtow to Xia Jingnian first, and the mountain shouted long live. Xia Jingnian liked this child at a glance, "Calm down." ”

"How old are you? Where did you learn from? Xia Jingnian asked.

Li Mingjie replied truthfully: "If you go back to the emperor, the grass people have been poor since they were children, and they have not been enlightened, and they have no fixed teachers. It's all the knowledge learned from the side, and this time to participate in the scientific expedition, it was also the family to pool money to come to this trip. ”

Sure enough, it's a son of a poor family. Since there is no fixed teacher, it must be very difficult for him to steal the process. Even so, it seems that it is not only a prodigy that can win the top spot in one fell swoop, but also a hard work behind it.

"What books have you read?" This child can endure hardships, is willing to work hard, and is a good seedling. And the age is similar to Xia Yuxuan, Xia Jingnian already has a plan in his heart.

""Zizhi Tongjian", "Historical Records", etc. Li Mingjie replied.

These books are not difficult for a child of this age, but they are enough to learn for a while.

"What do you think about learning and being an official?" Xia Jingnian asked again.

"Everyone can be your teacher, learn from the strengths of others and reflect on your own shortcomings, so as to correct them. And the way to be an official is to take it as his responsibility to benefit the common people in the world. As long as it is for the benefit of the world, even corrupt officials are forgivable. Li Mingjie's words made the ministers present sweat for him.

You must know that corrupt officials and corrupt officials have always been shouted and beaten by everyone, not to mention, which corrupt official in history will do things for the people?

However, Xia Jingnian thinks Li Mingjie's idea is good. As long as they are allowed to bleed at the right time and teach them some lessons, they are the pillars of the country, and make good use of them, so that they will turn a blind eye and not become the moths of the country.

"From now on, you will enter the Taixue Academy and be the prince's companion." Xia Jingnian waved his hand and ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Mingjie thanked the Holy Grace.

Prince's Mansion.

The father-in-law led Li Mingjie to meet Xia Yuxuan. At that time, Xia Yuxuan was reading loudly, and when he saw his father-in-law bringing a person, he put the book down, and asked puzzledly: "This is?" "Wen Ting Pavilion

The father-in-law introduced: "Back to the prince, this is the emperor's newly sealed prince companion in the morning." ”

"The prince accompanied Li Mingjie to meet the prince." Li Mingjie saluted for several weeks, lifted his gown and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Xia Yuxuan hurriedly helped him up, "Since you are my companion, you will follow me in the future." ”

"Wechen must do his best." Li Mingjie said.

Since Li Mingjie became the prince's companion, Xia Yuxuan's progress in learning has been much faster. Li Mingjie is wise and careful, in class, he took notes one by one about what the teacher said, and after class, Xia Yuxuan didn't understand anything, if he would, he would answer Xia Yuxuan, if he met him, he wouldn't, and the two of them went to ask the teacher together.

"It turns out that the teacher said this is what he meant, Mingjie, thanks to you for explaining it to me." Xia Yuxuan suddenly realized, sure enough, with Li Mingjie, he felt that he had achieved twice the result with half the effort when he read.

"After the prince came back, he read the book for a long time, and it was time to go to dinner." Looking at the sun, Li Mingjie reminded.

"You are really careful, and you don't even forget such a small thing as reminding me to eat." Xia Yuxuan looked at him approvingly.

Li Mingjie smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to be the prince's companion, and he couldn't help but be unsatisfied.

At first, I thought that as the crown prince, Xia Yuxuan would definitely be pampered and arrogant, not taking his schoolwork to heart, or having a bad temper or something, thinking that he was a difficult lord to serve.

Unexpectedly, after getting along in the past few days, he not only has an excellent temperament, but also works hard in the matter of studying. He has always boasted that he is hard enough, but he didn't expect that his hard work is still a lot worse than that of the prince.

Some people work hard even if they have good conditions. This makes him more end-to-end, following the prince's side, he can get better teachers to teach, and he is willing to learn by the side.

Xia Yuxuan went to the side hall for dinner, but Li Mingjie did not accompany him. With his identity, it is naturally impossible to eat at the same table with the prince, Xia Yuxuan has a father-in-law to serve him, and he doesn't need to worry, he went to the small room to eat.

After Xia Yuxuan finished eating, he went to the small room to see how Li Mingjie was doing.

When I walked to the door, I saw Li Mingjie actually put the meat buns on the plate in his pocket, and the white rice next to him was eaten up.

I heard that Li Mingjie's family conditions are not very good, and he has not been enlightened, and he doesn't even have a fixed teacher.

The meat bun he pretended to be his own today, he probably wanted to keep it and eat it later, right?

My father said that don't bully young people to be poor, they can't choose their background, especially people like Li Mingjie, who are poor and ambitious, and they can't be despised and protect the shame of others.

As soon as he wanted to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Li Mingjie, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

I didn't expect him to be discovered, and when I thought about it, he was sitting on the opposite side of the door, and he could see with his long eyes.

Now that he's found out, there's nothing left for him to hide. Stepping into the small room, Xia Yuxuan asked curiously, "Why don't you eat your portion of the meat bun?" ”

Li Mingjie smiled and said generously, "Our family is poor and can't afford to eat meat buns." I saved the meat buns and took them back to my parents and sister to taste together. ”

was so frank that Xia Yuxuan admired it very much, "I thought you wouldn't tell me." ”

"What's this? People's origins are not determined by ourselves, what we can do is to live our lives well. He was only ten years old, and he spoke like an old man who had seen through the world.
