Han Du immediately pouted at Liu Laotou and said: "What do you know? Of course I want to give it to the boss, but the boss is already old. Drinking too much wine is not good for him. Drink a little every day.
It’s okay.”
Han Du explained. He was anxious about the affairs of the academy and didn't bother to explain to him anymore. He said directly: "Anyway, just follow my instructions and give you two small cups every day."
"Yes, Lord Marquis, I have written it down."
After receiving Liu Laotou's assurance, Han Du left here with peace of mind.
Han Du, who left the Ministry of Justice, went directly to the academy without any delay.
Inside the academy, preparations are being made to put up lanterns and streamers, and it looks like there is going to be a grand celebration.
As soon as he entered the academy, Han Du bumped into Fang Xiaoru.
Before Han Du could say anything, Fang Xiaoru said with a smile: "I was just about to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come on your own initiative. It seems that you have heard about it. Our academy has truly become famous in one fell swoop this time."
The world knows that among the three hundred Jinshi, our academy alone has 198 people. Hahaha, I didn’t even expect such a happy day. I really want to look at the face of the Imperial College now to see what kind of face they have in front of us.
Arrogant."
Now Fang Xiaoru was completely convinced by Han Du. He never thought that Han Du's rather ridiculous behavior in his opinion could really make the scholars pass the examination. If he had known this, why would he only choose
More than thirty people participated in the general examination, and it was long overdue that all members should be present.
Smiling, Fang Xiaoru slowly noticed that Han Du had a serious look on his face, and couldn't help but hold back his laughter and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Han Du thought for a moment and said, "The students from the north are making trouble, saying that this time they will be unfairly awarded scholars. Have you heard about it?"
"Why haven't you heard about it? There has been a lot of commotion these days, and the city is full of turmoil. It's hard not to know." Fang Xiaoru said lightly.
"Then what do you think?" Han Du continued to ask.
Fang Xiaoru spread his hands, doing the movements he learned from Han Du, shrugged his shoulders, and said as if the matter had nothing to do with him, "What else can you say? These northern scholars are just...
Their skills are not as good as others, and they feel that they are embarrassed, so they think that with the strength of the people, they will make a fuss. No matter what the outcome of their fuss is, as long as they make a fuss, it will be a comfort to their own hearts. "
"Oh? How do you say that?" Han Du couldn't help but asked curiously when he heard that Fang Xiaoru had a different opinion.
Fang Xiaoru said calmly: "Students are so generous, they may not know that their talents and learning are insufficient. Just by making a fuss, they can blame the reason for their being deposed.
If the scholars are unfair, then these people will not give up no matter what."
Yes! If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily give up.
Han Du touched his chin and thought carefully, then suddenly came back to his senses and thought that he still wanted to be shameless and would not blame his fault on others, but these northern scholars were completely shameless now.
Seeing Han Du's thoughtful expression, Fang Xiaoru thought he was worried about this matter, so he asked with a smile: "But no matter how big the trouble is, it is still the trouble of the court, so why do you need to worry so much?"
Han Du let out a long sigh after hearing this, looked at Fang Xiaoru and said seriously: "I'm afraid this is really not the trouble of the court, but the trouble of our academy."
"How do you say that?" Fang Xiaoru frowned slightly. He really couldn't imagine that this northern scholar thought that the unfair selection of scholars had anything to do with the academy. This selection of scholars was not selected by the academy.
Han Du did not ask Fang Xiaoru to explain directly, but said: "Let's find Judge Xue first and discuss it together."
Taking Fang Xiaoru to find Xue Xiang, Han Jingyun, Mr. Jin and others, Han Du walked over and closed the door, slowly returned to his chair and sat down, seeing several people looking at him.
Xue Xiang stroked his beard and saw that Han Du was ready, so he asked: "You are so eager to find everyone. What's the matter? Can you tell me now?"
Han Du nodded and told everyone his worries in detail.
After several people listened, Fang Xiaoru, Han Jingyun and Mr. Jin all looked dumbfounded, wondering how this matter could finally fall on the academy.
However, Xue Xiang was extremely calm. After careful consideration, he solemnly emphasized: "Your worries are not unreasonable."
In fact, both Han Du and Xue Xiang knew in their hearts that this matter was not justified, but was bound to happen.
As long as those northern scholars know that there are so many people in Academy High School, they will definitely make a fuss, even bigger than the previous few days. Compared with the previous few days, the object of their troubles was the imperial court. No matter how courageous they are, the imperial court will treat them
After all, they are standing at a high place, so even if they make trouble, they will subconsciously restrain themselves.
But facing the academy, it's completely different. As long as they don't plan to study in the academy, they won't have the slightest fear of offending the academy to death.
"How can these people
Is this shameless? How could he frame others for cheating when he clearly failed because of his lack of knowledge? Didn’t the emperor order someone to re-mark the exam? Whether it was cheating or not, we will know when the time comes." Fang Xiaoru said bitterly. As a well-educated scholar,
, the most shameful thing is the kind of people who obviously don’t have enough knowledge, but don’t want to study hard, but want to take advantage of evil ways to fish in troubled waters.
Han Du raised his head and glanced at Fang Xiaoru, and said: "The results of the re-grading have been achieved. Liu Sanwu selected the scholars fairly, and there is nothing wrong with the three hundred people he selected. On the contrary, the examination papers of these northern scholars were not good in arts and science, and they were indeed not as good as the southern scholars."
son."
Fang Xiaoru suddenly became happy when he heard this. He spread his hands and said: "The court has reached a conclusion, so what do we have to worry about? Since there is no fraud, let's just select the officials according to the current imperial list."
"It would be great if it was really that simple." Han Du sighed slightly and said: "The northern scholars simply cannot accept such a result. Now this matter is getting bigger and bigger, so much so that the emperor is deeply troubled.
"
Fang Xiaoru wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xue Xiang with a slight wave of his hand.
Xue Xiang turned to look at Han Du and asked, "Then what do you think?"
Han Du pondered for a while and sighed secretly. To be honest, this matter is indeed difficult to solve. The northern scholars will definitely make trouble for their own interests. Only when the trouble becomes bigger, will it be easier for them to fish in troubled waters.
. Therefore, let alone re-examination once, even if it is re-examination ten or hundreds of times, as long as the result is that the selection is fair and there is no fraud, then they will never be convinced.
In fact, Lao Zhu's method is also a clever trick. As long as Liu Sanwu gives in and allows Lao Zhu to depose some of the Jinshi because it is unfair to recruit scholars and add more scholars from the north, then the matter will probably be settled.
Even if the northern scholars were still dissatisfied, Lao Zhu was able to forcibly suppress the noise.
But what Liu Sanwu did was not for himself at all, but to delay the bigger storm that was about to break out.
What a coincidence, the academy is at the center of this coming storm. It can be said that there is no escape, no escape. Unless we can confront the storm of northern scholars head-on, otherwise the academy will be dismantled into pieces.
"Let's stop the celebrations inside the academy for now." Han Du thought for a moment and said. Now is not the time to irritate the scholars outside. If the academy celebrates grandly at this time, it will easily attract the attention of the scholars outside.
.
If people knew that the academy suddenly had 200 high school students, I'm afraid this storm would be over now
It will explode and there will be no time to react.
"The other thing is, let's take advantage of this time to brainstorm and think about how to deal with this matter."
Han Du gave two opinions.
Xue Xiang nodded subconsciously as he listened. At this juncture, it is indeed impossible to create extraneous problems. What the academy lacks most now is time. If a grand celebration triggers a siege by northern scholars, it will really be more gain than loss.
As for how to deal with this matter, Xue Xiang couldn't think of any way for a while, so he had to look up at Fang Xiaoru and others.
Fang Xiaoru frowned and pondered for a long time but said nothing.
Okay, Xue Xiang understood, obviously Fang Xiaoru didn't have any ideas for the time being.
Then, Xue Xiang looked at Han Jingyun and Mr. Jin again. Of these two people, Han Jingyun looked back at Xue Xiang with a blank expression. He looked like a curious baby and obviously couldn't count on her. Although Han Jingyun
She is extremely talented in mathematics, but she is completely ignorant of the ways of the world. It is really more difficult for her to come up with a solution to a problem than to ask her to solve a mathematical problem.
As for Mr. Jin, he lowered his head and didn't even look at Xue Xiang. He obviously had no idea.
Finally, Han Du and Xue Xiang looked at each other, and both sighed helplessly.
'The academy is still short of people, especially those who are truly proficient in secular affairs.'
Han Du had no choice but to decide to take it one step at a time. Maybe as time goes by, he would be able to think of a solution?
Scholars from the north gathered in restaurants and tea shops every day, and every time they complained that the imperial court was shielding Liu Sanwu and failing to give them a fair verdict.
Suddenly someone said: "Liu Sanwu must be colluding with the Imperial College. Only the Imperial College protects Liu Sanwu, and the imperial court will review such a result."
As soon as these words came out, it was like waking up someone from a dream.
Yes, every time there is a scientific examination, there are always many high schools for scholars in the Imperial College. Otherwise, how did the saying "Stepping into the threshold of the Imperial College is half-step into the court" come from?
The imperial court has been unable to come up with any measures to convince them. These scholars cannot afford to offend the imperial court, so why can't they afford to offend the Imperial College?
"The scholars in the world have been suffering from the Imperial College for a long time. We should go to the Imperial College and ask for an explanation."
