Chapter 49

Li Mi looked around and found that the young and old around him were wearing Confucian scholars' robes. Everyone smiled and greeted him with his hands, and he felt secretly proud.

"It seems that my strategy of asking the emperor to check and balance the three families is correct, so that the imperial power can be truly stable." Li Mi also smiled and bowed to the people around him.

"Left Prime Minister Li Mi arrived." A crisp and tender childish voice echoed in the crowd. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Li Mi in front of him with envious expression.

To cultivate oneself, cultivate one's nature, govern the country, and pacify the world, for all Confucian scholars, the greatest wish of their entire life is to be able to learn the success of their careers, be with the emperor's family, and be able to be an official to benefit the people is the wish of ordinary Confucian scholars. Being able to enter the court to harmonize the yin and yang to govern the world and show what they have learned in their hearts is the greatest blessing, and Li Mi in front of them is the embodiment of their highest dream. Everyone looked at Li Mi's eyes and felt a ray of heat.

As for the world, that is, the principle of educating the world and making one's thoughts called the rule of the people in the world, such ultimate dreams are something that even though one dares to think about. These things have been done by saints for thousands of years. The four palm courtyards, sitting upright among the four chairs in the central center, are such figures.

For people like the Four Great Palm Academy, all Confucian scholars only have their own desires. They are not their dreams, but their beliefs, and are the core that cannot be desecrated.

Li Mi lined up the crowd and stepped on the earthen road that had just been flattened with loess. While walking, he bowed to the old man sitting on the chair next to the earthen road, because the chairs were all the most respected people of the major families today, that is, the real heads of each family.

Every time I walked past a chair, I would bow deeply, and then say with a gentle smile: "Li Mi has met Mrs. Zhang." "Li Mi has met Mrs. Fan." "Li Mi has met Mrs. Xie."......

The heads of these aristocratic families also had reserved smiles on their faces. When they saw Li Mi's bow and greeting, they nodded gently, showing a transcendent attitude.

Originally, according to the identity of Prime Minister Li Mi, the heads of these aristocratic families would not show off their identity like this in ordinary gatherings. However, today's gathering is not an ordinary gathering. Once the four major palm courtyards appear, this gathering is not measured by ordinary power, but a core standard for Confucian scholars: Confucianism is above everything else, and Li Mi can only bow and greet in front of these thousand-year-old aristocratic families. Here, these aristocratic families not only represent their own family but also show the attitude of the entire Confucianism surpassing the imperial power.

When he walked to a chair, Li Mi was obviously stunned. He looked at the person sitting upright on the chair, and a strange expression flashed on his face. He hesitated and was held back by his hands when he was about to bow.

"Brother Li, don't give this big gift. You are so polite, you are ashamed of your younger brother." Cui Hao, who also looked embarrassed, held up Li Mi's arm, looked at Li Mi's inquiring expression and explained: "My old man suddenly felt unwell and is resting at home now, so he asked me to attend this grand event."

A look of concern immediately appeared on his face, and Li Mi asked hurriedly: "Then Mr. Cui is in good health now. Should I ask the imperial doctor in the palace to treat the old man for my brother?"

"Thank you Brother Li, now the old man has been treated." Cui Hao also said with a grateful expression: "I am recuperating at home now. The old man asked me to bring apologies to Brother Li. When the illness is cured, I will definitely invite Brother Li to come to Cui's house for a gathering."

"Okay, Li Mi wishes the old man good health as soon as possible." Li Mi's expression of concern disappeared. He looked up and down at Cui Hao, and said in a low voice with a smile on his face: "It seems that Brother Cui will definitely become the head of the Cui family in the future, and then Brother Cui's career will be smooth in the future."

"Tired, panic." Although Cui Hao kept talking about panic, he had a calm expression on his face, showing the momentum and majesty that a head of a family should have.

Li Mi continued to walk forward, and suddenly there was a look of uneasiness in his heart. When he greeted the other heads of the family, he secretly looked at Cui Hao and found that he was sitting upright in the chair, his expression changed, giving people a profound and unfathomable expression.

"Unfaithful? Why did Cui Hao suddenly have a Confucian cultivation level that I can't see clearly? It actually makes me feel unfaithful?" Li Mi was shocked, his face changed slightly, and his heart suddenly felt turbulent, and he thought to himself: "This time, Old Lady Cui's absence... has shown an attitude?"

Thinking of this, Li Mi had a cold war in his heart. As the four major families of the world, the Cui family, and the old lady Cui received based on the news that she was profound in Confucianism, how could it be that she accidentally got sick at this time?

Squeezing the doubts in his heart, Li Mi still bowed to all the heads of the house on the chairs according to the rules.

Finally, he looked at the four chairs in the center, each sitting in the chair with his eyes closed and his bodyguarded. He was wearing a gray Confucian uniform and four palm courtyards. Li Mi lifted up the Confucian uniform in front of him, knelt on the ground, bowed three times and nine times in a regular manner, and said loudly: "Student Li Mi greets all teachers, wishing the teacher as good as the East China Sea and as long as the South Mountain."

Slowly opening his eyes, the faces of each palm courtyard nodded with satisfaction, looking at Li Mi who was still knocking his head to the ground in front of him.

"Master Zhu? This Li Mi seems to be from your academy. It seems that your garden is really prosperous." Looking at Li Mi below with a satisfied look on his face, Wang Yangming said in a loving tone: "What are you doing while kneeling? Get up quickly? Don't be so kind."

"Students dare not." Li Mi stood up slowly, still bowed and thanked, "Students thanked all the teachers." Then he stood on the side of the earth path with a respectful look on his face.

Zhu Xi's face was so simple that he didn't move at all, but with a happy expression on his eyes, he nodded gently, touched his beard and looked at Li Mi and said, "Li Mi is indeed a student of my school. Judging from his performances all the way through the past, he still follows the concept of my school, and can be in the position of prime minister and follow the ethics of teachers.

It is indeed rare to be a gift. Who is your teacher?"

He hurried to the dirt road, bowed deeply and said, "The students' teaching mentors are Cheng Hao and Cheng Hao. The students have traveled with them for several years and have also received guidance from their mentor Wang Xiangshan."

"Haha, no wonder you have achieved such success." Zhu Xi's face was filled with a hint of surprise, and he kept nodding. Looking at Li Mi below, he looked at his favorite grandson, and his tone became gentler and said: "You are lucky and can get the guidance of our three masters in Liyuan. They toured the world more than ten years ago, but they didn't expect to receive a good apprentice like you. How are the three of them now?"

Shaking his head, Li Mi also had a look of regret on his face and said, "About five or six years ago, the three mentors said they had to do something, so they left without saying goodbye. Until now, they didn't know the news about the three of them."

"It seems that they are still worried about what happened back then. I hope that the three of them can achieve their wishes. I think of the three heroes of Liyuan shining back then, which made us unable to raise our heads. Now when we think about it, we are both hated and happy." Master Yang looked at the other three masters and sighed, "I hope the three of them can find the reason."

"I hope so." Zhu Xi's face also flashed with haze. He raised his head to look at the respectful Li Mi in front of him. The look of love in his eyes became more obvious. He pointed to his side and said, "You can sit there in the future."

A hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, unbelievable and ecstatic, Li Mi bowed hard to thank him, and said with a trembling tone: "Thank you, Master."

A boy quickly moved out a chair and placed it on one side of the dirt road. Li Mi's face turned a little red and his steps were a little staggering. Although it was only a few steps away, it was so far away in his eyes and so incredible.

Walking to the chair, Li Mi sat up gently, looking down at him, and found that he was surprised, envious, and looked at him with a hot look.

After thrusting his body, Li Mi still sat in the chair with a respectful look on his face, but a look of pride slowly appeared in the respectful look.

What does it mean to be able to sit below the Master, and at such a gathering, Master Zhu said such words, but other Masters did not object to it?

It means that Li Mi's current status in Confucianism is higher than that of everyone who is sitting below. How great is this glory? It is also recognized by the entire Confucianism and aristocratic families, and has occupied an important position in it.

Suddenly, Li Mi felt a sudden thrill, and a cold war broke out all over his body, and immediately remembered his other identity: Prime Minister, then when the imperial power and Confucianism clashed, how could he handle himself?

At this moment, a voice sounded from the high platform: "Li Mi, you have to remember that you are a Confucian scholar."

When Li Mi heard this, he felt like he fell into an ice cellar, his whole body trembled, and he quickly stood up and greeted Mr. Yang, saying, "Students, remember."
