Chapter 430 Confucian scholars run away

"How could the official know about the affairs of the capital when he is in Luojing?" Wang Shoude said, "Qin Hui did many evil things and framed Zhongliang, which aroused the anger of people and gods. It is not surprising that someone assassinated him."

Cai Mao asked again: "The assassination of Li Ruoshui in Luojing has nothing to do with you, right?"

Wang Shoude said again: "Is Mr. Cai doubting the official?"

"This matter has made a big fuss in the court, and Luojing is your jurisdiction, so I just asked casually."

"This matter was definitely not the work of a lower official." Wang Shoude said righteously and sternly.

"As long as it's not you, don't do this kind of thing easily. If someone gets caught, the consequences will be disastrous." Cai Mao reminded.

"Don't worry, Xianggong Cai, I am a person who abides by the rules." Wang Shoude said.

"Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to stand on our side, this means that more people are willing to come to our side!" Cai Mao said, "There must be no chaos at this time. We must wait for the situation to calm down slowly and step by step.

Moving forward, we must ensure that the prince can have political achievements in the official department. As long as the prince can stand up step by step, the opportunity for us to counterattack Zhao Ding will be just around the corner."

Everyone nodded.

Cai Mao was willing to calm down, but others didn't think so.

In August, Songyang Academy was extremely lively, with students immersed in the chicken soup of the blood of saints every day.

By the end of August, many students had left Songyang Academy.

Suddenly there were many people on the streets of Luojing.

At this time, there were only a few days left before the exams at Luoyang University, and undercurrents surged in Luoyang City.

Early in the morning on the first day of September, many people arrived at Luo Jing University and stood outside the university.

The examination room inside has been prepared, with written and oral examinations available.

You can see all kinds of people who come to prepare for the exam. Some are dressed luxuriously, some are in coarse linen, and some are in ragged clothes. Some even bring farm tools and tools to go back to work after preparing for the exam.

The scene was chaotic, but also very lively.

Not long after, some Confucian scholars came, mostly young people, and some older people.

They came in groups and made a great noise.

The leader was a young man who was quite famous in Luoyang. His name was Fu Tingfang.

His father, Fu Zhirou, was the grandson of Fu Bi. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Jingkang and served as secretary.

The Confucian scholars who followed him all became excited.

"There are many people coming to take the exam today!"

Those who came to take the exam, some were craftsmen, some were blacksmiths, and many farmers were farming. They had never seen such a battle before.

In the past, in their eyes, these scholars were all superior.

Many people were a little scared when they saw this posture.

The number of Confucian scholars is still increasing, and they are coming from behind one after another in a mighty manner.

Not long after, most of the places at the entrance of Luojing University had been occupied, even blocking the way of people taking exams.

When the officials at the door saw so many scholars, they did not dare to intervene for a while, but only asked a few polite questions.

"We are just here to appreciate how these people take the exam. Doesn't this violate the laws of the Song Dynasty?"

With just one sentence, the officials were sent back.

And it was obvious that the officials had also received wind of the news. They did not dare to meddle in other people's business today. They pulled their heads back and pretended that they had not heard anything.

"Brother, who are these people?" Zheng Ling asked in the crowd.

Zheng Xi said: "They are all scholars from Luojing. Luojing is a big city, much bigger than Julu. I heard that there are many scholars here who read books by sages."

Zheng Ling said nervously: "Are these people also here for the exam?"

"Probably not." Zheng Xi said.

"Then why so many people came suddenly? I feel like they came with bad intentions." Zheng Ling leaned closer to Zheng Xi.

"Don't be nervous. This is Luojing. We are now at the gate of Luojing University. We are here to take the exam. We will be fine."

The two brothers and sister sold all their family property before going south.

"Brother, why don't we go to Tokyo University?"

"I've heard that the number of admissions to the University of Tokyo is getting smaller and smaller, but ROK University is recruiting a large number of students. We are here."

"I remember that Mr. Zhao said he was from Gyeonggi Province. Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't be able to see Mr. Zhao?"

"What do you want to see him for?"

"I'm just talking casually."

"It won't be too late to meet him after we pass the exam, graduate, and have our own careers." Zheng Xi was very grateful to Zhao Ning from the bottom of her heart.

It was Zhao Ning's words that inspired him and made him determined to go south.

This requires a lot of courage for people who have no father or mother in the countryside.

There are many people who dare not take a step out of the "familiar circle" throughout their lives.

While the two brothers and sisters were whispering, several Confucian scholars walked towards them.

"I am Wang Xuecai of Songyang Academy." A Confucian scholar bowed to Zheng Xi and said, "May I ask your Excellency, who's name is it?"

Zheng Xi was slightly startled and looked around to make sure that the other person was talking to him. He was a little surprised.

"May I ask who your surname is?"

"My name is Zheng Xi, from Ju..."

Before Zheng Xi could finish speaking, Wang Xuecai said, "It turns out to be Brother Zheng. Is Brother Zheng here to take the exam?"

"Yes, I'm here to take the Agricultural College entrance examination, I..."

"I have little talent and little knowledge. I would like to ask Brother Zheng a question."

"Please call me?" Zheng Xi couldn't react.

Then Wang Xuecai said loudly: "What is the way of a university?"

This time, Zheng Xi was confused. How did he know the secrets of university?

He is a farmer, and his fields are cultivated very well. He heard that there is an agricultural college in Luojing University, which specializes in teaching people to cultivate their fields better. He feels that he should come here to learn how to improve his farming.

As for knowledge, he didn't even know many words.

But when the Confucian scholar across from him asked him "What is the way of a university?", he could only be confused.

"Brother Zheng, why do you want to study in a university?"

Zheng Xi was a little overwhelmed. Zheng Ling held her brother's arm and was also very nervous.

"Brother Zheng, aren't you here for the exam?"

"I'm here to take the exam..."

Then Wang Xuecai's tone became arrogant: "You came to take the exam and you don't even know what it means to be a university?"

When he said this, the Confucian scholars around him laughed.

"You don't even know such a simple question, and you still come to take the exam? How ridiculous!"

Another Confucian scholar said: "You are so stupid, you actually want to come to Luo Jing University, are you crazy?"

Zheng Xi was furious: "You..."

"Hey, look at him, he's anxious, he's anxious!"

"No, you're still here to take the college entrance examination!"

"You're laughing so hard, hahaha, stop living, go die now."

Immediately, countless ridicules and abuses came overwhelmingly.

Zheng Ling cried when they said this: "Brother, let's go."

Zheng Xi protected his sister and prepared to leave, but the more unscrupulous taunts from the Confucian scholars here immediately attracted the Confucian scholars around her.

They were like a group of ferocious sharks that smelled blood and swarmed over.

The crowd's emotions suddenly found an outlet here and started going crazy.

"You who are farming, go back to farming!"

“I don’t even know a single Chinese character, but I still dare to take the exam. It’s so funny!”

"A carpenter will just be a carpenter!"

"I feel sick when I see you people, go back! Don't tarnish the word "university"!"

"..."

The scene quickly became chaotic.

Those who came to take the exam were all disgraced. Facing these scholars, they had a low self-esteem in their hearts. After being laughed at like this, many people turned around and left here in despair.

A Confucian scholar excitedly pulled Zheng Ling over and shouted: "Have you read "The University"! How dare you take the exam!"

Zheng Ling was frightened and cried.

Zheng Xi punched her: "Stay away from my sister!"

His punch directly set the scene on fire.

"Someone hit someone! Hit him! Hit him!"
