This group of scholars all played well with Hou Yushu in the capital.
Most of them have no chance to participate in the palace examination. After all, there are only a few places for the palace examination.
But this does not prevent them from seeking relationships through various channels.
After all, those who can participate in the palace examination will have official status in a sudden change. If they are strong now, they will have connections in the future.
For example, people like Hou Yushu, who came from a good background and became a disciple of the contemporary sage Dan Tai Jingzhi, are very likely to enter the officialdom this year, and are obviously popular among them.
"The teacher didn't say."
Hou Yushu said calmly: "I think that's true. After studying hard for so many years, I have all the answers in my stomach. Why should I still take these crooked ways? The teacher must be using this to remind me not to go wrong."
Hou Yushu's words naturally attracted the flattery of these scholars.
But among the praises, there was one voice that was particularly harsh.
"Not necessarily. Look at Xu Junlou. He is not qualified for the palace examination this year. Isn't it because he has a good uncle who gave him a chance to take the palace examination in a living way? Therefore, this matter must be handled by others.
"
After the man said this, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and immediately added: "Of course Mr. Hou and Mr. Jingzhi are aboveboard and disdain for opportunism, but with a scoundrel like Xu Junlou around, Mr. Hou will inevitably
Suffer a loss."
Hou Yushu snorted coldly and said: "Xu Junlou's incident has been widely spread recently. How can any scholar in the capital think highly of him? For someone who relies on the elders of the family, it doesn't matter even if he goes to the palace examination, it will just be embarrassing."
Although Hou Yushu was arrogant, he also had real talents and learning.
He looked down on Xu Junlou at all.
Although Xu Junlou is also a Jinshi like him, his noun is much higher than that of Xu Junlou.
Otherwise, he would not be qualified for the palace examination, but Xu Junlou is not.
What really put a knot in Hou Yushu's throat was the young man he met outside the General's Mansion that day who had an unusual relationship with Su Jinpa.
Although he had only met that man once or twice, his image was always lingering in Hou Yushu's heart.
The other party's nobility and silence from the bottom of his heart made Hou Yushu feel a little ashamed every time he thought about it.
But it was this inferiority complex that he couldn't find the reason for, which made Hou Yushu even more irritated and angry.
He vowed to become famous and one day take over the power, and he must take back the humiliation he had suffered in the past.
It was only after Hou Yushu's words fell to the ground that a cold snort came over him.
A young man wearing a gray gown came over and said to Hou Yushu calmly: "Since Mr. Hou is so confident, why do you have to go to Mr. Jingzhi several times to get the news about the imperial examination?"
What's the most embarrassing thing to say bad things about someone?
There is nothing better than being caught in the act by the real owner.
The appearance of Xu Junlou made many students present feel a little embarrassed.
Especially the one who took the lead in yelling at Xu Junlou before wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.
Hou Yushu himself was a little embarrassed, but with so many people at the moment, he couldn't afford stage fright.
Looking at Xu Junlou, Hou Yushu said coldly: "As a student of the teacher, it is normal for me to come to visit the teacher. How can it be as dirty as you said?"
Xu Junlou said lightly: "You know in your heart whether it's dirty or not."
