After retiring from the court, Emperor Ming came to the imperial study and looked at the memorial in his hand, and said calmly: "This group of people usually criticize each other more fiercely than the other, but when it comes to the outside world, they are very united."
Eunuch Li stood aside and said respectfully: "The imperial examination system has a great influence on the powerful, so they will naturally try their best to stop it."
"Has anything important happened in Fengtian City in the past two days?" Emperor Ming asked while browsing the memorial.
He wanted to find an entry point to scare the monkeys, preferably the officials who had the loudest objections, and give him some leverage.
Eunuch Li thought for a moment and then replied: "There has been a lot of commotion in Fengtian City recently, and it is also related to Qin Feng, the eldest son of Qin."
"Oh? Let's talk about it." Emperor Ming became interested and put down the memorial in his hand.
After learning that the imperial examination system was also proposed by Qin Feng, his interest in Qin Feng became more and more intense.
Eunuch Li organized his language and then told about the academic dispute between Qin Feng and the Imperial College.
"Is this true?" Emperor Ming suddenly stood up after hearing this.
Eunuch Li was not sure why His Majesty was so excited, and immediately responded: "Many people in the streets know this news, and it seems that someone is spreading it deliberately.
Moreover, the Imperial College did not deny the matter, and even offered a treasure, the Wenxin Table, outside Haowen Courtyard, so it must be true."
"Haha, good! Qin Feng, this kid, can always surprise me!" Emperor Ming Longyan was delighted.
"Why is Your Majesty so happy?" Eunuch Li asked puzzledly.
"If the scholars who are not in the Imperial College defeat the Imperial College in the academic battle, wouldn't their words from the court today be a slap in the face?
If I continue to implement the imperial examination system, who would dare to oppose it with confidence?"
Eunuch Li instantly understood that the academic dispute between Qin Feng and the Imperial College had just given His Majesty a breakthrough in implementing the imperial examination system.
But after thinking for a moment, Eunuch Li said worriedly: "But Your Majesty, the premise of your wish is that Qin Feng can defeat those from the Imperial College in the academic battle.
What if Qin Feng fails? You know, the people in the Imperial College still have some real talents."
After hearing this, Emperor Ming also paced back and forth in the imperial study. He looked out the window and said: "That boy has never let me down before, and I hope he won't let me down this time."
In the queen's palace, the queen looked at Anya's appearance and asked curiously: "I see that you are always absent-minded these days. What's on your mind?"
Anya was still thinking about the academic dispute in her mind, and blamed Qin Feng for acting recklessly. Why did he fall for such an obvious plan, so she didn't hear what the queen said at all.
"Anya, Anya?" the queen called several times in succession.
"Ah? The Queen Mother called me?" Anya came back to her senses.
"I called you several times before you agreed, but are you worried about that boy from the Qin family?" the queen asked lightly.
"There is no reason, why should I worry about him?" Anya picked up the tea cup on the table, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Recently, the academic dispute has been heated up. How could you not know that?
Speaking of which, I would like to take a look, but I don’t know when and where this academic debate will be held tomorrow."
"At three o'clock in the morning, outside Haowen Courtyard, on Wenxin Terrace." Anya almost blurted out, but after she said it, she knew something was wrong. She turned her head and looked around, and she saw the meaningful look in her mother's eyes.
The Queen didn't say anything more, but asked: "How does the tea look like today?"
"The tea my mother brews is naturally excellent."
“There are many ways to make tea. It’s not just about good tea leaves, but also about the water.
As the saying goes, good tea goes with good water. This is what the Queen meant.
Anya looked as usual and took a sip of tea: "No wonder the tea my mother brews is so pleasant every time."
"As long as you like it." The queen smiled slightly.
Three days passed in a hurry, and in the streets and alleys of Fengtian City, the news of the academic dispute was known to everyone, and many people were discussing the matter enthusiastically.
"At three o'clock today, Master Qin will start an academic dispute with the guys from the Imperial College."
"Although those people in the Imperial College are annoying, they study all day long and there is something in their stomachs.
And I heard people say that Master Qin has to deal with not just one person, but many people, can he do it?"
"Yes, although Master Qin is powerful, he is outnumbered. Why should he accept this academic dispute?"
At this time, a man said: "Master Qin is dissatisfied with the attitude of the people in the Imperial College. He thinks that children from poor families can also produce great scholars, so he accepted the offer."
"What? Tell us what exactly is going on!"
Then the man told the story exactly what he saw that day.
In particular, the ugly faces of the three officials who made things difficult for ordinary people, and the arrogant attitude of the people in the Imperial College who looked down on the children of poor families were vividly depicted.
"It's too much to bully others!" When everyone heard this, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
And when they heard Qin Feng scare off the officials with one move, and faced the provocation and ridicule of the Imperial College officials, and accepted the academic dispute without thinking, they had mixed feelings.
"I used to think that except for the Imperial Master of Tianjian, all the scholars in the world were the same as the people of Imperial Academy, and they were arrogant.
Only today did I know that there are people like Master Qin among scholars."
"Only people like Master Qin can speak up for us."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly and cheer for Master Qin."
"Walk!"
One call and a hundred responses!
Outside Haowen Courtyard, the Wenxin Terrace glowing with white light had already floated in the sky.
The place was surrounded by people watching the battle, and most of them were ordinary people who came to cheer for Qin Feng.
Among the crowd, none of the students from the poor academies were absent.
They all prayed in their hearts, hoping that Master Qin could win today's academic battle.
On the side of Haowen Court, everyone in the Imperial College was ready. Listening to the cries of the people outside the hospital, they all showed disdainful smiles.
"The son of a mere third-class Fengguo general is still trying to win against us. It's simply an idiot's dream."

"If I'm not talented below, I'll be the first to go up and compete with those who don't know their own abilities."
As soon as the voice fell, the speaker's whole body was filled with white light and he floated onto the Wenxin Platform.
This phenomenon occurs simply because the Wen Xin Table is a treasure that can sense the literary spirit of Wen Shengdao practitioners and lead them to the table.
But the onlookers who didn't know the truth were stunned by this hand.
"Heh." On one side of the crowd, there was a luxurious carriage parked. Inside the carriage, next to the handsome man, there were three graceful women serving him.
If Qin Feng saw this person, he would definitely be shocked, because this person is the prince!
Seeing that the three o'clock in the morning was approaching, the Imperial College was already ready, but Qin Feng was still nowhere to be seen, and the prince became a little anxious.
The man on the Wenxin stage sneered bluntly: "It seems that guy knew he was outmatched, so he chose to avoid the battle. It was really a waste of our efforts!"
When all the people in the audience heard this, they were all anxious. Could it be that Master Qin really retreated from the battle?
But at this moment, a person suddenly discovered something, pointed to the sky and exclaimed: "Look, what is that?!"
Everyone looked for the voice and saw a handsome figure in black slowly falling from the sky, like a god.
If not Qin Feng, who else could it be?
The man from the Imperial College was shocked. He never expected that the other party would appear in such a way!
Qin Feng, who landed on the Wenxin platform, turned his head and glanced at the sundial outside Haowen Courtyard, and said softly: "It's three o'clock in the morning, it's just right."
Then he looked at the man not far away and shouted loudly: "Qin Feng of Hanmen Academy, ask the Imperial College!"
