Chapter 119 Honorary Students of the Guoxue Palace
The Guoxuegong Square is brightly lit.
It's late at night now.
Many students were teleported back one after another. They did not disperse separately, but gathered together to ask their classmates which level they had passed and whether they had gained any benefits.
More and more people are being teleported out, some are excited, some are full of grief and anger, and some are furious.
"Who else has not left the semi-sacred literary world?"
"It seems like Du Ning, Sun Zhentian, and those elites from the Chinese Academy of Sciences..."
"What level have you passed?"
"I passed the seventh level and stopped at the eighth level."
"Hiss... This means that those who have not come back have at least passed the eighth level and are sprinting towards the ninth and tenth levels!"
"Maybe Du Ning can pass the ten tests in one go and become the well-deserved number one in the rankings!"
"You can stand alone in the country of Yun, and you are unparalleled!"
Many people were extremely happy because the country of Yun gave birth to a hero and a unicorn.
"Haha..."
Ge Yuan in the crowd said with a face full of ridicule: "Du Ning is still too young after all. No matter how talented he is, how can he pass ten levels in a row? It's really ridiculous, Brother Wu, don't you think so?
?"
After speaking, he looked at Wu Xiangwen.
"I...I don't know either..."
Wu Xiangwen had completely lost his temper and said slowly: "Maybe... Du Ning can really pass the tenth level..."
"What did you say!"
Ge Yuan's face changed when he heard this, and he scolded: "Wu Xiangwen, what do you mean? Are you just giving in to that villain Du Ning? You are really a member of the Xianwen Society in vain!"
"Villain? I think the students from your Xianwen Club are the villains!"
Someone said: "Your Xianwen Club has repeatedly made things difficult for Du Ning since he entered the literary world. How dare you call Du Ning a villain? You are really shameless!"
"Presumptuous!" Ge Yuan became angry in embarrassment.
"Villain!"
"Villain!"
There were a lot of curses and pointing fingers at the students of Xianwen Club.
Ge Yuan was furious, but in the face of so many people's abuse, he couldn't say a word and kept his mouth shut.
A burst of white light emerged in the center, and Sun Zhentian and some students walked out.
"Brother Sun, which level have you passed?" someone asked.
"I passed the ninth level and stopped at the tenth level." Sun Zhentian replied.
"Hiss..."
Many people gasped.
"Brother Sun, have you seen Mr. Du?"
"No, the tenth level is an independent space, I didn't see him."
Sun Zhentian shook his head and his expression changed, "Isn't he back yet?"
"No."
"What a genius! Mr. Du will definitely pass the tenth level!" Sun Zhentian said excitedly.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!"
Ge Yuan shouted, unable to believe that Du Ning would have a high chance of passing the tenth level. What kind of genius would he be? He was simply a great scholar.
The people in the Xianwen Club looked even more ugly. Sun Zhentian was a military genius, and being able to pass the ninth level shocked everyone.
If Du Ning can pass the tenth level, it will be enough to prove that Du Ning is a genius with more potential than Sun Zhentian.
If they offend a future great scholar, their Xianwen Society will have a difficult time in the future literary world.
"Who's barking there?"
Sun Zhentian looked at Ge Yuan with a look of surprise on his face, "It turned out to be the dog of the Eight Wise Kings. How come the Wise King's disciples are actually some rabble? No wonder the Wise King can't even become a prince."
Ge Yuan's chest rose and fell violently, "Sun Zhentian, you are so presumptuous! You can insult me, but you cannot insult the wise king!"
"I just insulted him, so what!" Sun Zhentian smiled contemptuously.
"You..."
Ge Yuan's face turned red and he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
Sun Zhentian said fiercely: "You, the Wise King Party, have repeatedly opposed Du Ning. Now Du Ning is very likely to pass the tenth level and become the veritable number one in the imperial examination. If you dare to continue to frame Du Ning, you will be killed by the scholars of the Yun Kingdom."
Let’s criticize with words and letters!”
"Hmph! Brother Sun is really loud. There is no guarantee that Du Ning will be able to pass the tenth level."
Ge Yuan said disdainfully: "Besides, Brother Sun's use of the word 'framed' to describe us is too much. We are just competing with Du Ningwen, and we have never hurt his life. How can you slander our Xianwen Club like this?"
"Then you dare to swear by your literary courage and prove that you are just competing with Du Ning in literature?" Sun Zhentian sneered.
Ge Yuan's face darkened and he said slowly: "What a joke, why do you want me to swear an oath and I have to swear an oath?"
"I don't even dare to swear an oath to prove myself. I have the nerve to speak out nonsense here. You all, Xianwen Society, listen carefully. If you dare to continue to target Du Ning, don't blame me, Mr. Sun, for being rude to you!" Sun Zhentian said coldly. "Do you think our virtuous society is afraid of you, a mere military strategist?"
Ge Yuan sneered and said: "Our Xian Literary Society is a literary society that supports the Eight Wise Kings. We are all disciples of the Wise Kings. Who do you think you are?"
"You have not eliminated Du Ning in the literary world. The wise king will definitely be very disappointed with you. I would like to see if you, who are about to become losers, will the eight wise kings protect you rabble!" Sun Zhentian also expressed his support.
Ridicule.
The faces of Ge Yuan and others were extremely ugly, and Sun Zhentian's words simply hit on their weaknesses, making them very uncomfortable.
Sun Zhentian is right. If they fail to complete the tasks entrusted to them by the wise king, it is impossible for the wise king to reuse them.
Once they offend the public, the wise king can only sever ties with them.
When the time comes, they will be kicked out and their reputation will be tarnished.
Many people laughed at him, and some even stayed away from Ge Yuan.
White light appeared again in the center of the square, indicating that Du Ning had been teleported back.
"Master Du is back."
Everyone surrounded Du Ning.
"Fellow literary friends," Du Ning said with a smile.
"Brother Du, have you passed the tenth level?" Sun Zhentian asked.
"I got through it by luck." Du Ning nodded lightly.
The whole place was silent.
"This..."
Ge Yuan and the students in the Xianwen Club were all dumbfounded. They could hardly believe their ears and even thought that Du Ning was lying.
But in front of three thousand students, no one would dare to make such a big joke.
Many people sneered at Xianwenshe. Today, Ge Yuan and others were repeatedly slapped in the face by his words, and their reputations were simply lost.
"Congratulations to Mr. Du for passing ten tests and ranking first in the rankings, which is rare in ancient times!"
"This is truly an example for scholars. We, the scholars, should learn from Mr. Du."
"The pillar of the Yun Kingdom, the talent of the human race!"
Countless students congratulated Du Ning.
Fan Qianfeng's voice fell from the sky: "Du Ning, a student from Suzhou Academy of Arts, passed ten tests in a row, won the crown, and was specially recruited to be an honorary student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Honorary students are special admissions students who can be exempted from tuition for one year. Although they enjoy the same treatment as other students of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they are more glorious in terms of reputation.
While others were admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Du Ning was specially recruited by the Semi-Saint.
This alone is enough to make the teachers at the Guoxue Palace compete to be Du Ning's teacher.
Du Ning bowed towards the main hall of the Guoxue Palace: "Student Du Ning, thank Fan Sheng for his grace."
Wu Xiangwen sighed, this time their Xianwen Society lost, they lost miserably and miserably.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest early!"
"Let's go, let's disperse!"
All the students left one after another.
Du Ning glanced at Ge Yuan lightly and left silently.
From beginning to end, Du Ning never took Ge Yuan seriously.
"Poof!"
Ge Yuan couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and a clear sound came from the Wen Palace. The bile cracked and the seven orifices were bleeding.
"Du Ning! You can't die a good death! You can't die a good death!"
Ge Yuan yelled at Du Ning and his words were extremely unpleasant.
But Du Ning ignored them, and the others naturally didn't bother to talk to them.
Early morning.
The Guoxue Palace published the "Yunjing Wenbao", which published the news that the grassland people had launched an army to attack the Yun Kingdom.
The grassland people came with great ferocity, capturing three cities in one go and massacring the surrounding villages and towns throughout the day and night.
Thousands of people died tragically, and the land was stained with blood for thirty miles.
All the students in the Guoxue Palace were furious, looking up to the sky and shouting filial piety, full of grief and anger.
"Slaughter the people! This is the shame of the Yun Kingdom! What a shame for the Yun Kingdom!"
"Beasts! They don't even spare the defenseless people! Don't these grassland tribes even have any humanity at all!"
"Not as good as an animal! Not as good as an animal!"
When the students of the Guoxue Palace discussed this matter, every one of them became murderous.
They were angered by the heinous behavior of the grassland people.
Afternoon.
A classroom to teach everyone.
The students were still discussing the matter of the Prairie Tribe. Everyone looked very angry and wanted to rush to the battlefield to kill the Prairie Tribe cavalry and avenge the people.
"This is all the little emperor's fault!"
Wu Xiangwen gritted his teeth and said: "If the little emperor had not turned against the Prairie tribe, the three cities in the Western Region would not have been lost, and thousands of people would not have died tragically under the prairie tribe's cavalry, and the emperor would have harmed the country!"
"We are going to report to the imperial court and ask the little emperor to summon the sinners. Let the little emperor give an explanation to our country of Yun and the people who died tragically!"
"A foolish king who harms others and himself should be punished with words and writings!"
Many people loudly shouted filial piety, and the crowd was furious, pointing the finger at Emperor Hongxuan.
"Shut up!"
Du Ning looked at the scholars of the Xianwen Society and said in a deep voice: "The grassland people killed our people of the Yun Kingdom. You don't want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and take revenge. Instead, you use this as an excuse to force the emperor to go to the palace, lest the world is not in chaos.
Are you from the Yun Kingdom or from the Prairie Tribe?"
"What did you say!"
"Du Ning, you are so presumptuous!"
"How dare you spit on others!"
The faces of the people in Xianwen Club changed drastically, and they yelled at Du Ning angrily.
Du Ning's words were so powerful, he was simply scolding them for causing civil strife and shaking the foundation of the imperial court.
No one can bear such a charge being placed on Xianwenshe.
Wu Xiangwen looked regretful. If he had known this, he should not have accused Emperor Hongxuan in front of so many people.
"You are a bunch of incompetent people. You are unable to serve the country at the top, and you are unable to share the worries of the people at the bottom. All you can do is wag your lips and bark here. The Xianwen Society has harmed the country so much. I will definitely join the Eight Wise Kings as an earl and rule the country.
His sin!"
At this moment, Du Ning's official power was revealed, full of domineering.
The people of the Xianwen Society suddenly became anxious. Du Ning is a fifth-rank earl. If he reports to the court, the kings will definitely use this as an excuse to attack the Xianwang.
Isn’t this self-defeating and harming the wise king?
Wu Xiangwen said hurriedly: "This matter has nothing to do with the wise king, it is our own opinion."
"Who do you think believes it?" Du Ning asked.
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either!"
"It must have been the wise king who ordered you to be disgusting!"
Another group of students spoke out one after another.
Wu Xiangwen wanted to slap himself in the mouth, his expression was extremely ugly.
"Please don't participate in the performance of The Wise King. This matter really has nothing to do with the Wise King." Wu Xiangwen almost cried.
"Then shut your mouth. If you dare to say anything to sow discord in the future, I will report it to the court at any time!" Du Ning warned.
Wu Xiangwen shut his mouth and did not dare to talk anymore.
He knew that Du Ning did this on purpose, but he really didn't dare to gamble, for fear that it would really harm the wise king.
"Haha..." The students laughed sarcastically.
Wu Xiangwen was so ashamed and angry that he hurriedly took people away.
"Master Du, someone is looking for you."
A soldier came over, cupped his hands and said to Du Ning: "He is from the palace, and he is here to convey an order to you."
Du Ning heard this and responded quickly: "Please take me there."
"Follow me."
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Du Ning came to the square.
The visitor is Eunuch Feng, and he is accompanied by more than a dozen guards from the palace.
"Master Du, this is Eunuch Feng, the emperor's personal attendant." The soldier introduced to Du Ning.
"Du Ning has met Eunuch Feng." Du Ning cupped his hands and said.
"You're welcome, Earl. I'm here to deliver an order to you today."
Eunuch Feng didn't dare to trust him. Du Ning was not only a student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also a scholar with a title and honor, and was very famous in the literary world.
"Du Ning accepted the order."
Eunuch Feng requested the imperial edict.
"Long live my emperor."
Du Ning immediately bowed respectfully to the imperial edict.
"According to the imperial edict of Emperor Tianyun, Du Ning, a student of Xuanguo Academy, entered the palace on the morning of the fourth day of July to attend the morning court, and was given a court uniform for a fifth-rank official. I admire this."
"Students obey orders."
Du Ning received the imperial edict, and the guard handed over the court clothes.
"Count Du, congratulations."
Eunuch Feng said: "The emperor summoned you to the palace to entrust you with important tasks. You must serve the court well and not let down the emperor's wishes."
"Student understands." Du Ning nodded lightly.
"When you enter the court, you are a minister of the Jinluan Palace. You can no longer call yourself 'student'. From now on, even if you are an old slave, you will have to call you 'sir'."
"My father-in-law is very serious. No matter where I am or what my official position is, I will always be a scholar. I should consult and learn from my predecessors and abide by my duty as a scholar." Du Ning said firmly.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Eunuch Feng admired Du Ning very much and said with a smile: "No wonder even the late emperor praised you highly when he was in power. The late emperor really did not misjudge the person. You will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future. I will resign first."
”
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
Du Ning sent Eunuch Feng away, holding the imperial edict and court clothes in his hands, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.
Tomorrow morning, we will finally step into the court, enter the official career, and display our abilities and ambitions.
Du Ning also knew that there would definitely be tit-for-tat confrontation between officials of the Xian Wang Party above the court.
But Du Ning has no fear, because he knows that most people support him, otherwise there would not be so many officials recommending him as an official.
This shows that there will definitely be many hostile forces from the Xian Wang Party.
