In the past few days, there has been a lot of panic about the fact that no northern scholar was on the list for the examination. Not only Lao Zhu found this matter difficult, but even these northern scholars were uneasy because they didn't know what the imperial court was doing about it.
manner.
They were making a fuss because of the complicated psychology of failing the exam, and they urgently needed a vent. But this gap turned into the imperial court, and all the scholars were still deeply uneasy.
Scholars have long heard about the temper of the current emperor. If the court is pushed into a hurry and the quarrel reaches the point of breaking out, no one will think that they can take advantage.
Therefore, although they seemed to be making a violent fuss in the past few days, blocking officials in the street and begging to make decisions for them, and gathering outside Chengtian Gate to protest against the unfairness of the trial, none of them really dared to knock on the palace gate.
one. ??
Now, with the Imperial College as a target, almost all northern scholars rolled up their sleeves and prepared to give the Imperial College a try.
If you can't offend the imperial court, can you still afford to offend your Imperial College? Going head-to-head with the imperial court may be like an egg hitting a rock, but your Imperial College is also qualified to be a rock? You are also an egg!
The Imperial College is located at the foot of Jiming Mountain, a scenic spot.
Needless to say, it can be seen from this point that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to the Imperial College. After all, throughout the dynasties, every inch of land in this capital city has been very expensive. It can also be seen that such a huge Imperial College can be built specifically under Jiming Mountain.
It comes out that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to education.
The road to the Imperial College is not very close. These scholars, who usually cannot lift their shoulders or hands, are in high spirits and the crowd is full of excitement. Even if some people are dizzy, they will not retreat at all. If they are studying hard, there is something wrong.
Now, with this kind of spirit, I have already been ranked high in high school, and I am still in the predicament where I am trying to save my face by making trouble.
Soon the gate of the Imperial College was blocked by northern scholars. This was much more aggressive and faster than blocking the Chengtian Gate. The scholars at Chengtian Gate did not dare to block it at all, they just stood aside to show their presence.
But now here at the Imperial College, the scholars are not polite at all and have directly blocked the door tightly, making it impossible for water to pass through.
"The Imperial College colluded with Liu Sanwu to commit fraud at Jinke. We must give us an explanation."
"We will never agree without giving an explanation."
"Yes, I will never agree"
The noisy hustle and bustle instantly turned the formerly peaceful place of study into a seafood market in the West Market. The fascinating sound of reading at the entrance of the Imperial College disappeared without a trace, and now it has turned into a sea of unbridled and unwarranted abuse.
Such a rare scene instantly attracted the attention of the people passing by. But the more people watched, the more people gathered.
On the contrary, the northern scholars felt that they were more and more confident.
Naturally, lectures were being given as usual in the Imperial College. As the noise came in, the voices of lecturers and lectures on scriptures and history became quieter. The scholars in the hall also raised their heads in confusion, looking towards the source of the sound and looking back in confusion.
Look at the instruction.
The teacher coughed, lowered his face and reprimanded: "The most important thing in studying is meditation. Only when the mind is calm can you naturally appreciate the subtle words and great meanings of the sages and understand them. If you are disturbed by some noise, where have all your energy-raising efforts in the past gone?
?”
"Sir, please don't blame me. I'll admit my mistake." All the students quickly admitted their mistake and sat down in a polite manner.
The intimidation of the imperial edict is not small. None of these students dare to disrespect the imperial edict. Take the joint examination as an example. As long as the eunuch wants to deliberately suppress you, he can find any reason to deny the students the opportunity to participate in the examination.
Press it down.
Of course, usually the teaching would not dare to do this. The act of cutting off someone's official career is too bad and can easily arouse public outrage. Unless the teaching himself wants to lose his reputation, he will not be so decisive.
The students in the hall once again resumed their appearance of immersed in studying, but although their appearance had recovered, their hearts had already changed. Being disturbed by this noisy movement, it was naturally impossible for them to return to their previous state without being affected at all.
Although Jiaoyu knew that the minds of the students below were probably no longer in the hall, he had no choice but to look at where the movement was coming from, pondered for a moment, and then told everyone to study by themselves, then walked out to find the supervisor.
grown ups.
Arriving outside the official room of the Chief Inspector, the instructor hesitated for a moment and loudly asked for permission to see him.
"Please come in." A voice came from inside the room.
Jiaoyu walked up the steps, opened the door and was about to step in, when he saw that the room was packed with people. Not only him, but all the doctors, teaching assistants and Xuezheng from the entire Imperial College were here.
After seeing them one by one, everyone looked at Hu Jiancheng who was in the first place.
Hu Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand, put his hands together, smiled, and said: "I know your purpose of coming, aren't you just blocked by the northern scholars? What's the big deal?"
"Hahaha"
Hearing Hu Yuan's joking tone, everyone laughed in agreement.
If we didn't know that the academy would definitely be pushed out, how could they be so calm now, and how could they be so leisurely and gloating about others' misfortune?
After laughing, Hu Yuan stood up vigorously, flicked his left and right sleeves with his fingers, and said with his hands behind his back: "The northern scholars are making trouble, and the crowd is raging and blocking the gate of our Imperial College. What a big gesture!"
"Let's go, follow my command."
Seeing Hu Yuan in this posture, no one knew that he had made up his mind to watch a show. He even thought about adding some fire. The smiles on everyone's faces suddenly became surprisingly consistent with Hu Yuan's.
, as if they were copied from Hu Yuan’s face one by one.
They bowed and bowed, and they all laughed and said: "Of course, Mr. Hu is the only one among us who will follow your lead and go together, go together."
The group of people came to the gate with full confidence and had no idea of being forced to come.
"Come out, come out, the people from the Imperial College have come out."
I don't know which scholar had a sharp eye, but at a glance he saw the people of the Imperial College coming out of the side door.
When the scholars blocking the door heard this, many of them took a step back. Everyone is smart, and everyone knows that you can't be the first to take the lead. No one wants to go head-to-head with the Imperial College. They all want to let others take the lead.
It's better for you to follow the trend and fish in troubled waters.
But when everyone had this idea, an extremely embarrassing scene appeared on the scene.
The uniform retreat just now caused a fever on the faces of all the northern scholars. Originally, they only thought that they could retreat quietly without attracting attention, but they did not expect that everyone's actions were too consistent, which exposed everyone's thoughts.
come out.
Fortunately, scholars have the ability to be a bit shameless. Thinking, 'Since everyone thinks this way, then what I just did is not a shame.' I crossed the threshold in my heart and suddenly felt confident.
"The Imperial College must give an explanation today. Did you collude with Liu Sanwu to commit fraud, depose all of us, and protect him?"
Someone stood up and shouted, and other scholars naturally jumped up and started to boo.
"Yes, you need to give us an explanation."
"We will not give up until we give it."
Hu Yuan looked at the leader, smiled, raised his hands and pressed them a few times. When the noise gradually became quieter and disappeared, he said with a smile: "I, Hu Yuan, am the Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy."
.I can understand the mood of all the scholars who have failed in the examination. I can also understand the dissatisfaction in your hearts. Please be patient and calm."
"No, if the Imperial College doesn't give us an answer today, we will definitely not agree.
.”
"Yes, I don't agree"
"No promise"
Seeing Hu Yuan, the eunuch, stand up, the northern scholars were even more excited. They all opened fire on Hu Yuan and sprayed spit at Hu Yuan like raindrops.
Hu Yuan instantly felt as if he was surrounded by hundreds of ducks. His ears were filled with noisy buzzing sounds, making it difficult to distinguish a complete sentence.
Although the more reluctant these scholars were, the happier Hu Yuan was. But after all, there was too much spit, and after a few breaths, Hu Yuan felt that the air in front of him had a fishy smell.
"Quiet!" shouted a loud voice, and it was someone beside Hu Yuan who stood up and rescued Hu Yuan.
The sudden sound shocked all the soldiers, their hearts trembled, and they quickly closed their mouths, not daring to be presumptuous again.
Hu Yuan glanced to the side gratefully, then quickly turned back to explain to these scholars: "You said that the Imperial College and Liu Sanwu colluded, what evidence do you have?"
Hu Yuan originally wanted to slowly stir up the anger of these scholars, but now it seems that the anger in these scholars' hearts is enough without him needing to stir them up.
"There are hundreds of high school students in the Imperial College examinations for each subject. How could this be possible if you didn't collude with the examiner? In Ding Mao, I'm afraid you have more high school students, right?"
Hu Yuan looked at the scholar who spoke with disdain, "There are many high schools in the Imperial College, so they say that the Imperial College colluded with the examiner. Then why don't you say that you are ignorant and a useless snack?" For this kind of person who has no ability, but
Hu Yuan couldn't look down on other people who were in high school, and Hu Yuan couldn't look down on them at all. If he met them on a regular basis, he wouldn't even look at them.
Now Hu Yuan had to hold his nose while talking to such a person.
He was really pinching his nose, after all, the air in front of him had just been sprayed with saliva by this group of people.
It stinks!
"That's wrong!" Hu Yuan shook his head slightly and said to the scholar who spoke: "There are only sixty-three people in the Imperial High School who will take the Ding Mao Examination. This number is less than half of the past. You are talking about the Imperial College and the examiner.
Collusion? Could it be that we will discuss with the examiner to depose more than half of the people in the Imperial College first?"
This, how is this possible?
Are you kidding me? There are only sixty-three students in high school at the Imperial Academy. If this is really the case, wouldn’t it mean that this Dingmao subject is the worst subject since the Imperial College diploma?
In this case, it is completely untenable to say that the Imperial College and Liu Sanwu colluded. How could anyone go to great lengths to make the examination more difficult for their own scholars?
