Of course, the premise of all this is that what Hu Yuan said is true.
"Master Hu, this is in public, do you really mean what you say?" Now even the northern scholars couldn't believe it, fearing that Hu Yuan was just trying to get away temporarily and fooled them with his words.
Specifically mentioning the public, it means that if what you, Hu Yuan, say is false, it will be despised by thousands of people.
Hu Yuan felt disappointed for a moment, and sighed: "It's embarrassing to say that. In the past, the Imperial College always came out on top in every examination, but I didn't expect that it would be reduced to this in the hands of me. I really feel unworthy of the emperor's kindness."
As he spoke, with a look of tears, regret and self-blame, he knelt down and bowed towards the imperial city.
Seeing Hu Yuan say such words and make such actions, the northern scholars looked at each other in shock and slowly began to believe Hu Yuan's words.
But there are still people who don't want to believe it and ask: "Master Hu, since there are only 63 people in the Imperial College high school, and none of us northern scholars have high school, then where did these 300 Jinshi on the imperial list come from? Could it be?
Did it fall from the sky?" ??
The words woke up the dreamer, and all the scholars came to their senses one after another.
Yes, if there are only sixty-three people in the Imperial High School, then where did the other two hundred people come from? Could it be that this old boy is deliberately lying to us? Don’t look at the fact that he was crying and repenting just now.
.
Nowadays, as long as there is no shame, who can do it? Some scholars pouted at this, thinking that if it were him, he could do it better than Hu Yuan and be more convincing.
When Hu Yuan heard this man's question, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at this man with keen eyesight, and even wanted to give him a reward.
This was so in line with him, as if it had been discussed in advance.
Hu Yuan deliberately shook his head and sighed, and said: "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world. In addition to the Imperial College, there is also an academy in this capital."
Speaking of this, Hu Yuan deliberately paused for a few breaths, then said loudly for fear that no one would hear: "I heard that there are 200 high school students in the academy this time, and they even have all the places in the first, second and second classes."
In an academy, there are only 200 high school students in one subject, and they even have all the first, second, and second class students. No matter where they are placed, they are an object of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Not to mention these northern scholars, they were already jealous, but now they heard that there were so many colleges and high schools, how could they endure it, their faces suddenly turned red as if they were being roasted by fire.
"Academy"
These scholars have naturally heard of the academy's reputation for a long time. But no matter how famous it is, they can't stop it now.
Their boiling jealousy.
"The arithmetic in the academy is good." Some people wanted to disparage the academy, but they couldn't find a better reason for a while. After holding back for a while, they could only form this half sentence.
In the past few years, the academy has gained its reputation time and again in the eyes of the world. Now, everyone knows that the academy is not a place where anyone can be bullied. What these scholars are good at is nothing more than self-righteous knowledge, but they want to dominate in knowledge.
At one end of the academy, it was simply a fantasy.
Just by doing arithmetic, Han Jingyun could crush them to death with one finger and grind them into foam.
Therefore, everyone needs to think carefully before looking for trouble in the academy.
But it is impossible for these scholars to just let the academy go. They are not even afraid of the Imperial College and came to block the door, so naturally they will not let the academy go easily.
"But the academy has never made any achievements in the examination. Now there are 200 high school students participating in the examination for the first time. This has almost wiped out all the people in the academy who can participate in the examination." When meeting these scholars in front of them,
They actually gave in in front of the academy's famous names. Hu Yuan felt contempt in his heart, but also worried that they would not dare to go to the academy to cause trouble, so he added another fuel to the fire.
Hu Yuan's words instantly woke everyone up.
That's right! No scholar in the academy has ever participated in the examination before, so why should they be able to complete high school after taking it for the first time? This is not cheating, what is it?
Some people were shocked, bowed their hands to Hu Yuan, and blamed themselves: "It turns out that we have wronged the Imperial College. The Imperial College was upright and did not collude with Liu Sanwu. It turns out that there was someone else who colluded with Liu Sanwu. The students are waiting for us."
I apologize to you for being reckless and causing trouble to the Imperial College. In addition, I would like to express my gratitude to you for clearing up the confusion."
"We have offended the Imperial College, and I hope you will forgive me." The northern scholars borrowed their donkeys from the slope and bowed to Hu Yuan.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Hu Yuan smiled happily, pretended to be generous and waved his hands, and said with a smile: "It's just a misunderstanding, how can I deserve such a gift from you talented people? It'll be fine if the misunderstanding is resolved, my officer
If you put down your words here, the door of the Imperial College will always be open to you."
"Your Excellency is very righteous, thank you, Your Excellency"
Some people were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly bowed to Hu Yuan again, becoming much closer to him in an instant. Most of these scholars who failed the exam will continue to stay in Beijing unless they have no choice but to do so.
City, preparing for the exam for the next subject.
And if they want to stay in the capital for three years, there is no better place than the Imperial College. Not only will they not worry about "the capital is big, it's not easy to live in," but they can even get a share of the lumi from the Imperial College. Although it's not much.
, enough for them to live a decent life in the capital.
Now with Hu Yuan's words, they no longer need to be ashamed of having blocked the gate of the Imperial College, and they can come confidently when the time comes.
Some northern scholars saw Hu Yuan's behavior and guessed some of his inner thoughts. They looked at each other meaningfully and the two of them tacitly said, "If you bring people to the academy to cause trouble, I will let you in."
Imperial College'
Seeing this, this person didn't hesitate anymore and immediately raised his arms and shouted, "The academy colluded with Liu Sanwu to commit fraud. In order to let the academy's scholars go to high school, all of us were deposed. This move is outraged by people and gods. Let's go and seek an explanation now."
"Go together, go together"
In addition to the handymen, the academy also has guards. In addition, for the safety of several princes, Lao Zhu also sent guards and soldiers to guard the academy. In terms of strict guards, the academy is obviously higher than the Imperial Academy.
.
A group of scholars came to the academy gate with great momentum, but before they could start making trouble.
I saw a guard stepping forward with two big steps. The sword was not unsheathed, but he held the scabbard in his left hand and held it upright, and restrained everyone.
"The academy is an important place. No unauthorized entry is allowed. Visitors will be stopped!"
Ling Ran's voice carried a chilling sound, which reached everyone's ears and made their hearts freeze.
The hurried footsteps couldn't help but pause, causing all the scholars to suddenly become frightened.
Hu Yuan and others who followed behind and came to watch the excitement couldn't help but look a little ugly when they saw this, "Well, you guys, when you blocked the gate of the Imperial College, you didn't hesitate at all. Why is it now the academy's turn, and you were shouted at by a soldier?"
Are you scared by drinking?'
Hu Yuan didn't know whether it was because the Imperial Academy was looked down upon by the scholars, or whether the guards at the Imperial Academy were useless and couldn't even be stopped by a few scholars. In any case, Hu Yuan had already made up his mind and must straighten things out after he returned.
Meet the guards of the Imperial College.
"Sir, this soldier seems to be a bit extraordinary." A man next to Hu Yuan looked at the soldier standing in front of all the soldiers like a rock and said thoughtfully.
"Isn't he just a big-headed soldier? What's not simple?" Hu Yuan was not interested in his subordinate's nagging words at all.
But this person looked at the soldier seriously again
After a few glances, I turned around and saw that my superior looked at me with a somewhat dissatisfied look. He quickly bowed and apologized: "I was distracted just now. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's just a soldier, what's there to see?" Hu Yuan felt quite strange about this man's behavior, but he didn't mean to blame him.
"Your Excellency, I don't know something." After hesitating, the man explained loudly, "My father is a hunter. I have been exposed to those who shot wild beasts since I was a child, so I am more sensitive to danger. When the soldier gave a sharp shout just now, he was
It feels like I have entered a bloody battlefield."
"What does this mean?" Seeing that his subordinate spoke so solemnly and even kept looking up at the soldier while speaking, Hu Yuan asked cautiously.
The subordinate raised his head and looked at his superior seriously, lowered his head and replied solemnly: "It means that this soldier must have been on the battlefield, and he must have seen blood. He may have killed many people with his hands."
Although Hu Yuan has never seen the two armies confront each other, the Ming Dynasty was a martial artist and civil servants were not unfamiliar with the battlefield. He still knew that those who could survive on the battlefield with all their beards and tails intact were the real elites. And those who could kill on the battlefield were
It is even more rare to achieve military exploits by killing people.
A small soldier guarding the gate, the elite is a warrior who was killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. This made Hu Yuan feel humbled. The Imperial College was not so luxurious.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Yuan said reluctantly: "Han Du is the Marquis of Zhenhai after all, and he also commands the Ming Dynasty Navy. I'm afraid he brought this guard here under the guise of serving the public for his own benefit."
The subordinates did not dare to answer. The sourness in Hu Yuan's tone almost overwhelmed the people around him. It was not that he could not see it, so he could only lower his head and pretend not to know.
Hu Yuan was a little unmotivated. He looked up and saw a restaurant in front of him and said, "Let's go upstairs to have a drink and watch this great show."
Several officials quickly agreed with a smile. They couldn't let go of the opportunity to eat and drink at public funds, even if they were accompanying their superiors.
"We are scholars. You, a little guard, dare to block our way?" A scholar slowly recovered and shouted with an expression of anger.
The guard's eyes were unwavering, and he ignored the scholar's words and repeated what he meant, "In the important place of the academy, any trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
Now, even these scholars felt the bloodshed in the guard's words and did not dare to make another mistake. But they would not just retreat, wouldn't they just be unable to break into the academy?
Well, they are blocking the door here. Do you think the people in the academy want to be a coward and let them curse here?
