The news that Zhuang Yuexi was denounced and humiliated by the Empress Dowager didn't spread out so quickly for the time being. However, Empress Dowager Zhuang’s phoenix seal was broken—— with the phoenix atop of it falling off. Thus Eunuch Qin took the phoenix seal to the General Palace Service for repair.
At this time, Zhuang Yuexi happened to move out of the palace as well, so people couldn’t help but guess that she might have broken the phoenix seal.
However, things within the Renshou Palace weren't so easy to find out, and the Zhuang Family also kept their mouths tightly shut, so it wasn’t confirmed in the end.
Xiao Liulang didn’t know anything about what happened in the palace. He just got off from his duty today and his expression didn’t look good.
It wasn’t because he was ostracized by his colleagues, nor because the Chancellor of the Hanlin Academy secretly made things difficult for him, but because he saw Liu Quan waiting for him by the roadside as soon as he got out of Hanlin Academy.
"What's the matter?"
He remembered telling Liu Quan that he didn't have to come to pick him up as he could just walk back by himself.
Liu Quan said with difficulty, "It's Jing Kong… Something… happened on his side."
To be precise, the little guy’s guardians were being called to school again.
Xiao Liulang felt his tooth ache. How many times had this happened this semester? It had only been a few months since the last incident of a big bird almost pecking at a small bird. How did he get himself into trouble again so soon?
Xiao Liulang took a deep breath and asked slowly, "Which classmate did he bully this time?"
He was obviously the youngest one in the elementary school, but he could bully a boy several years older than him to the point of crying every time. Saying that it was intentional wasn’t entirely true. In short, that little fella simply had a hidden talent for making people cry.
Liu Quan said awkwardly, "No, it's not a classmate. It's his teacher, Teacher Sun."
Xiao Liulang's eyebrows twitched violently. That little guy actually bullied his teacher this time? Wasn’t this disrespecting one’s teachers and betraying one’s ancestors?!
Now Xiao Liulang understood why Liu Quan came to Hanlin Academy specially. This was indeed a very serious matter.
Liu Quan didn’t know the specific situation. Xiao Liulang immediately made a trip to the elementary school and met the educational commissioner surnamed Ouyang, who was in charge of the whole elementary division.
Xiao Liulang was the new Zhuangyuan of this year, and he studied at the Shuaixing Hall of the Imperial Academy. Educational Commissioner Ouyang, who had heard of him long ago, greeted him quite politely.
Xiao Liulang put aside his crutch and cupped his hands in greetings, "I wonder what could be the matter this time?"
Educational Commissioner Ouyang found it difficult to explain. After a long time, he said helplessly, "You... should go and see for yourself."
Under the lead of Educational Commissioner Ouyang, Xiao Liulang made his way to Teacher Sun's office, where Teacher Sun handled various academic affairs on normal days. It was situated not far from the classroom of the elite class; they just had to pass through a corridor and then turn a corner.
Xiao Liulang could already hear the angry crying and yelling inside before he could get to the office.
He was stunned at first, then he realized that it should be Teacher Sun who was yelling and crying in anger.
Xiao Liulang felt a throb in his temples again. Just what on earth did his family’s brat do to get Teacher Sun so work up like this?
"Little Jing Kong is in the classroom. Let me take you to see Teacher Sun first." Educational Commissioner Ouyang said with embarrassment, raised his hand and knocked on the unlocked door of the office.
The noise in the room stopped abruptly.
A moment later, the door was opened, and it was Little Jing Kong's former teacher, Teacher Jiang, who opened the door.
Teacher Jiang had hardly been to the elementary school ever since he was transferred to teach in the six halls of the Imperial Academy. Just now, he was comforting Teacher Sun.
Obviously, the effect wasn’t satisfactory.
Teacher Sun could vent his emotions in front of his old friends, but he couldn’t lose his temper in front of Educational Commissioner Ouyang and the students' guardians. He collected himself, fixed his appearance and came out from behind the screen with eyes as swollen as walnuts.
Teacher Jiang knew Xiao Liulang. When Little Jing Kong got into trouble for the first time, Teacher Jiang was on the scene. At that time, he did his best to defend Little Jing Kong and did not hesitate to offend Qin Chuyu, who was an imperial prince, which greatly increased Xiao Liulang's good impression of him.
Xiao Liulang cupped his hand at him, "Teacher Jiang."
Teacher Jiang responded politely. He did not beat around the bush with Xiao Liulang and directly told him what happened.
It turned out that when Teacher Sun taught a problem in today's arithmetic class that expanded on the Zu rate(Pi), Little Jing Kong said in front of all the students that Teacher Sun was wrong.
"In fact, there is nothing wrong with what he taught." Teacher Jiang said.
The Zu rate was recorded in two forms of fractions, namely the approximate rate which was 22/7, and the secret rate which was 355/113, wherein the adhesion rate was accurate to 7 decimal places. This was recorded in Ten Mathematical Classics.
Xiao Liulang was also studying the Ten Mathematical Classics recently, and knew that the Zu rate was indeed this number.
"Why did he say Teacher Sun was wrong? Did Teacher Sun show him the Ten Mathematical Classics? "
Little Jing Kong was a rigorous kid. Unless he found a source, he usually wouldn’t pester people endlessly.
Here was where the problem arose.
Teacher Sun showed him the Ten Mathematical Classics, but Little Jing Kong said it wasn't accurate enough. He then proceeded on reciting a long string of numbers in one breath, at least seventeen or eighteen digits, and directly stunned Teacher Sun.
Teacher Sun told him he was disturbing the class, and Little Jing Kong responded that Teacher Sun was misleading the students. In order to prove his argument, he dug a pit for Teacher Sun, throwing him ten arithmetic problems in one breath.
As a result, Teacher Sun could not solve any of the problems.
If he couldn’t solve them, it meant that Teacher Sun's knowledge wasn’t good enough, which also proved that the Zu rate Teacher Sun was teaching wasn’t reliable, hence Teacher Sun was indeed misleading the students.
This was Little Jing Kong’s logic. In fact, one could not generalize like this. It might be that those questions were simply beyond the scope of Teacher Sun's knowledge so he couldn’t solve them. Just because he failed to answer some questions, that didn’t mean that every knowledge of Teacher Sun was wrong.
It so happened that Little Jing Kong was the king of the class, and with a single call, the children in class followed his jeering.
Out of the ten questions Little Jing Kong came up with, Teacher Sun couldn't solve a single one. In response, Teacher Sun also gave Little Jing Kong ten questions, and Little Jing Kong managed to answer at least five of them. Then Little Jing Kong said dismissively, "What's so strange about me not being able to solve the remaining questions? I’m a student! It’s precisely because I don't know how to solve them that I came here to study. If I know how to solve them, why do I still need a teacher?"
Listen, listen. What an infuriating little tone!
Teacher Sun lost all his face and grabbed the ruler to hit Little Jing Kong in the palm. As a result, he missed and even fell down.
The whole class burst into laughter!
The scene at the Imperial Academy’s elementary division was like a huge car accident.
Reportedly, even the students from the other four classes came to watch, so that the whole elementary school witnessed Teacher Sun's embarrassing plight.
Teacher Sun couldn’t be blamed for crying in anger. It was really humiliating.
