Chapter 76 The Emperor's Wrath (Please Subscribe, Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)
These civil and military officials came here with a critical and prejudiced view, because today's topic is culture and education, and they simply do not believe that this vivid teaching method is really as powerful as Li Qiao said.

however.

I got so engrossed in watching it.

The wine glasses, once filled with fine wine, had gone cold, yet no one touched them.

When they saw Cao Cao kill Lü Boshe's family, they were all filled with hatred and gritted their teeth. Anyone would hate such an ungrateful act. Wang Maozhong and his generals cursed loudly, as if they were in a brothel, not caring whether the emperor was present or not.

Li Longji merely frowned and said nothing more, but his complexion was not as good as when he first arrived.

When they saw that Chen Gong had broken off relations with Cao Cao, they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

Even Jiang Yanbo, who came specifically to argue, became engrossed in it and nodded frequently.

The key is that the story is well-written, with twists and turns that make it incredibly exciting to read!

Lively teaching methods?
What the hell is that?

Put all of that behind them.

However, Hongxiu, hiding backstage, was extremely nervous, her fists clenched tightly, afraid that something might go wrong on stage.

Wang Xi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but comfort him: "Teacher, don't worry, these guys probably don't even know what stage fright is."

Hongxiu tilted her head and glanced at him, asking curiously, "Aren't you worried at all?"

Wang Xi said nonchalantly, "I'm not worried at all. Even if you put a dog on stage to perform, people will still like it."

"While the gentleman's performance was indeed brilliant, it wasn't as exaggerated as you described. Moreover, the gentleman has always been low-key, so please don't make such unfounded claims."

Hongxiu gave him a light glare, then said, "But...but."

"But what?" Wang Xi asked curiously.

Hongxiu hesitated twice, then shook her head, "It's nothing."

What she really meant was that even if the students performed exceptionally well, it didn't mean they were successful. After all, the people outside weren't there to watch the show.

Success or failure is not determined by brilliance.

Rather, it is discussed from the perspective of education.

She herself was very skeptical about this, because she really didn't know what educational significance it had, let alone any literary or military achievements. She had asked Tao Mo several times before, and although Tao Mo was very confident, he couldn't give her a clear answer.

She has always been worried about this.

This is also the main reason why Li Linfu failed to find out the information, because Hongxiu really didn't know either.

It was clear that Wang Xi was completely unaffected. She assumed that Wang Xi was too young to know about the intrigues and power struggles in the court, and she was worried that telling him would affect them, so she could only worry in secret.

Suddenly, a rapid drumbeat was heard.

The two looked up and saw Chen Gong and Cao Cao arguing on the stage. Then, the two flicked their sleeves and went their separate ways.

At this moment, Xue Jun came forward again, "Teacher, it's my turn to go on stage."

Hongxiu nodded and said, "Slow down, don't panic."

"Hey!"

Panic?
Xue Jun wasn't panicking at all; he was eager to go up and make a name for himself.

After Chen and Cao stepped down, Xue Jun reappeared on the stage. This time, however, he only explained the whereabouts of the two men based on historical records, and then said, "If you want to know the details, please listen to the next episode."

Another drumbeat.

"???"

The audience was completely dumbfounded.

"Is this the end?"

Before Jiang Yanbo and the others could even speak, Wang Maozhong was the first to complain, "I haven't had enough yet, how come it's over already? What are you brats up to?"

"That's right, you little rascals, let's do it again. It's still early."

"Hurry up and do it again, don't provoke me to anger."

The military officers were furious. They had fallen in love with the opera at first sight; it was easy to understand and incredibly enjoyable to watch. They immediately started cursing.

Zhang Yue and his fellow civil officials, though still somewhat unsatisfied, also came to their senses. Listening to the vulgar curses of the military generals, which truly resembled the atmosphere of a brothel, they couldn't help but shake their heads. "Shouting like that is tantamount to shooting yourself in the foot."

This is an academy, not a brothel.

As they regained their senses, a hint of confusion appeared on their faces. It was undoubtedly brilliant, arguably the highest level of performance available today. From the dialogue and makeup to the music and dance, everything was worth exploring.

Compared to that, military dramas are a pile of shit. They're completely incomparable.

But what kind of education is this?

What does it mean to revitalize culture?
I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.

Isn't that encouraging them to rebel?
If this were in a brothel, it would be absolutely commendable, but in an academy, it would be considered a waste of time and a detriment to students.

After watching it, Jiang Yanbo was able to be objective and honest. He didn't think the play had any educational value, and he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased to see that everyone else seemed to think the same way he did.

This time you're completely finished!

If you manage to get through this ordeal, then I, Jiang Yanbo, will read my name backwards.

Suddenly, they noticed that one person had remained silent, as if he had vanished. This person was Li Longji.

Everyone turned around and saw Li Longji with a gloomy face, not saying a word.

At this moment, Wang Maozhong and the others also noticed the emperor's expression and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

what's the situation?
Was it because of our shouting just now?
I hope so.

boom!
Li Longji suddenly slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming, "This is outrageous!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanbo was overjoyed, thinking that His Majesty must think he had been deceived. He stood up, ready to fan the flames, when he suddenly saw Li Longji slamming his fist on the table, his face contorted with rage: "Who made up this story? How could Cao Mengde be such a ruthless and ungrateful person?"

"????"

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

No one expected that Li Longji would say something like that.

You're even more into the role than Wang Maozhong and the others!

They truly are master and servant, two of a kind!

Hearing the emperor's anger, Hongxiu, who was backstage, trembled slightly and muttered, "What should I do! What should I do!"

However, he did not notice that Wang Xi next to him had a smug expression on his face.

Tao Mo, who was standing to the side, hurriedly said, "I deserve to die. This...this story was all made up by me."

Li Longji glanced at Tao Mo with displeasure and snorted, "Why do you slander Cao Mengde like this, sir? Could it be that you have some grudge against the Cao family?"

Tao Mo said, "Your Majesty, I have no enmity with the Cao family. I simply wrote this story based on Cao Mengde's character."

"As a person?"

Li Longji immediately glared at him: "Who told you, sir, that Cao Mengde is such a person? Or are you saying that you can go back to the Three Kingdoms period and meet Cao Mengde? That's utter nonsense."

Zhang Jiazhen suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I believe that this story portrays Cao Mengde's image very vividly, without any intention of slander or defamation."

Many ministers nodded in agreement.

Most traditional Confucian ministers disliked Cao Cao.

Li Longji said, "Even if Cao Mengde is a suspicious person, he would never be so reckless as to kill an entire family at the drop of a hat. Even if he really wanted to kill, he should have planned it out before acting. What else is this but slander?"

When it came to discussing this matter, everyone became enthusiastic, as they were all still eager for more.

Pan Haoli adopted a stance and said, "The stage did not explain that Cao Cao did not plan before acting, and given the circumstances at the time, it was highly possible that Cao Mengde, who was fleeing for his life, did so. 'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me'—isn't this a true reflection of Cao Mengde's life?"

Li Longji was also furious, "This is outrageous! This fabrication, portraying Cao Mengde as so evil, and yet they can still come up with a reason for it, is just like you guys!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers all looked at Li Longji in surprise.

Zhang Shuo was caught in the crossfire and immediately became furious. This sweeping generalization was truly unreasonable. He retorted, "Why is Your Majesty standing up for a traitorous minister?"

Lore!

This retort made Li Longji's face turn a deep shade of liver.

His position dictates his thinking; as the emperor, what else could he say?

You're bullying me, aren't you?

When you can't reason with me, you resort to this kind of trick.

Wang Maozhong and the other military officers were dumbfounded.

Why are they arguing?

We're the main characters!
Yuan Qianyao, who was good at smoothing things over, suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, it seems that we are not here to discuss historical figures today."
