In the twelfth year of Hongwu, it rained heavily outside the Imperial College.
Pedestrians on both sides of the road ran away to avoid the rain.
Only Yan Changqing stood alone in the middle of the road. He didn't avoid the rain and allowed it to pour down.
Around his feet were a large pile of books that had been hit by the rain.
The rain became more and more intense, and the black words on the book were gradually wet, soaked, and blurred by the rain.
In the end, Yan Changqing's 365 days and nights of hard work turned into puddles of black ink mixed with rainwater, flowing along the streets and alleys and disappearing without a trace.
Yan Changqing's ears still echoed with the words of the Imperial College Chancellor Kong Kebiao,"
"A mere mathematics is just a small path of knowledge!”
"The scholarly knowledge is the only way to cultivate one's moral character, regulate one's family, rule one's country, and pacify the world!!”
"The Imperial College is also a place to cultivate outstanding talents for the country!!!”
" In the past, the students of the directorate didn't even have enough time to study the classics of the Scholarly Sage, yet you still led them to go against the orthodoxy and focus on studying mathematics, wasting time thinking about what kind of big and small balls should fall to the ground at the same time, throwing objects up and down, and other meaningless and laughable questions!!!”
"It has ruined the academic atmosphere of the directorate, causing the students of the directorate to be unable to concentrate on their studies and study the truths of the saints in the Confucian classics!!!”
"This is simply going against the teacher and misleading the students!!!”
"How can the directorate tolerate such behavior?!!”
"Today, this old man will get rid of you, a black sheep, for the directorate!!!”
"From this moment on, you are no longer a mathematics professor!!!”
"Get out of the directorate!”
With a wave of the Imperial College Chancellor Kong Kebiao's hand, Yan Changqing was immediately forced out of the Imperial College by a few Imperial College servants.
At the same time, Yan Changqing's painstakingly written and compiled books, such as Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, were also mercilessly thrown on the street in the heavy rain.
"Is Confucianism the only sage's truth?!!”
Yan Changqing looked at the gate of the directorate and murmured softly. His eyes were as deep as a cold lake.
Her originally elegant and noble temperament seemed to have been washed away by the heavy rain at this moment. What replaced it was a high and mighty indifference that had seen through the development of the long river of history for thousands of years!!!
Just as Yan Changqing was standing in the rain, six carriages stopped at the entrance of the directorate.
Zhu Di, the King of Yan, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old and had a heroic look on his face, had just stepped out of the carriage when he saw Yan Changqing standing alone in the rain. He asked in surprise,"
"Professor Yan, why are you standing in the rain?!!”
"Please enter the directorate to avoid the rain!”
Upon hearing Zhu Di's words, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Zhou, the King of Chu, and the King of Qi who had just alighted from the carriage also turned to look at Yan Changqing.
They had some impression of Yan Changqing and had attended a few of his mathematics lectures.
However, Yan Changqing was gentle and modest in class. He talked and laughed with humor. From time to time, he would raise some "strange" questions, which made people think deeply and think carefully.
However, Yan Changqing in front of him looked extremely embarrassed. He did not have the elegant demeanor of the past. Instead, there was an indescribable coldness.
Yan Changqing raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan. He said calmly,"
"I've already been expelled from the Imperial College, so I'm no longer worthy of the title of Dr.”
The surprise in Zhu Di's eyes grew even more intense. He did not expect Professor Yan, whom he had quite an impression of, to have been expelled from the directorate.
However, he had a good impression of Yan Changqing, so he thought for a moment and said,"
"I think there must be some misunderstanding. Later, this king will intercede with the Chancellor on behalf of the doctor. I think the Chancellor will give this king some face. At that time, the doctor should be able to return to the directorate.”
Although Zhu Di spoke modestly, his words were full of confidence.
With his status as a prince comparable to that of the six ministers, it was basically not difficult for him to ask a fourth rank Imperial College Chancellor to retain a ninth rank mathematics doctor.
Or rather, the real difficulty was how to make him willing to say that sentence.
However, Yan Changqing shook his head and rejected Zhu Di's kindness.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Your Highness. Chancellor Kong's words are reasonable. A mere mathematical knowledge is indeed not worth learning, and it is not qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as Confucianism.”
"So I have another subject here. I wonder if Your Highnesses are interested?!!”
Yan Changqing stared at the King of Yan, Zhu Di, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Zhou, the King of Chu, Zhu Zhen, and the King of Qi with bright eyes.
" Oh, what knowledge?!!"
Zhu Di was interested and asked.
The other princes also looked at Yan Changqing with interest, ready to hear what he was talking about.
"Slaughter!"
" Dragon!!"
"Skill!"
Yan Changqing enunciated each word. At this moment, thunder fell from the sky.
Thunderclap!
The light of lightning flashed in an instant.
Nine streaks of white lightning struck the flag of the restaurant not far behind Yan Changqing.
A huge fire broke out, and the restaurant not far away was in a panic!
However, with the help of the light of the lightning, Zhu Di suddenly saw Yan Changqing's face clearly in the midst of the storm, lightning, and fire.
How cold and aloof was that!!!
"How dare you!"
"How dare you!"
"Arrogant!"
" Courting death!!!"
" Madman!!!"
......
After regaining their senses, the Qin, Jin, Zhou, Chu, and Qi Kings all shouted angrily.
Dragon Slaying Skill?
What was a dragon slayer?
What kind of dragon was this?
In the current world, who else was qualified to be called a dragon other than their father?!!
Could it be that this dragon slaying skill was going to slaughter their Imperial Father?!!
Just this name alone was enough to implicate nine families!!!
With a series of clanging sounds, the surrounding guards of the princes drew their sabers out of their sheaths with solemn expressions. They were waiting for the order from the princes to kill Yan Changqing on the spot!!!
Facing the furious princes, Yan Changqing's expression did not change. He said indifferently,"
"There are thousands of people who have learned the art of subduing dragons.”
"Since that's the case, so what if I have another dragon slaying skill?!!”
"The dragon-slaying skill, when used properly, slays a dragon. If you use it instead, you'll raise a dragon!"
"It's about slaying dragons, raising dragons, positive or negative. It's not about slaying dragons, but about the person who learns them.”
"Whether you want to learn or not, it's up to Your Highnesses.”
"However, I want to remind all of you that if Great Ming does not want to be subdued by the Dragon Subduing School in the future, then only the Dragon Slaying Technique can break it!!!”
After saying that, Yan Changqing turned around and walked away without any hesitation or concern for his safety. He walked out step by step.
Although the guards wanted to stop them, they did not receive any orders from the prince they belonged to.
Therefore, after some hesitation, he had no choice but to step aside and let Yan Changqing walk into the storm.
