When he saw the smug smile on the old fox's lips, he knew that this guy was planning something of his own.
He did not tell the truth, but asked seriously: "Master Changsun, aren't you bullying others? Now, everyone in Chang'an City knows that the Sikong Mansion is rich and powerful, and has recruited all the talents who participated in the scientific examination this time. These people only
I'm afraid that all the Jinshi and Scholars in the scientific examination will be taken over, and now you are asking me to make a bet. Isn't this a clear attempt to bully others?"
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he said, no, if Du He gives in, he will have no chance to regain his position.
He hurriedly said: "Just tell me if you dare. If you don't dare, I will ask my men to go to Chang'an City and tell everyone that you, Du He, are afraid when you go back later."
"Afraid? There is no such word as fear in Du He's life dictionary. You tell me, what are you betting on?" Du He rolled up his sleeves and said, looking very angry.
Changsun Wuji took a look at it and thought to himself that he was too young to even understand the Jijiang Dharma. He showed a secretive smile and said: "Let me bet on your Banshan Academy. If I win, you can give me Banshan Academy.
If I lose, you can also raise your conditions."
Du He chuckled and said: "Master Changsun has such a good appetite that he wants my Banshan College. You are not afraid that this Banshan College is too big and will bite your teeth. But since you have said it, I can't go back on my word. If you lose,
Now, how about letting Changsun Chong join Banshan Academy and worship me as his teacher?"
"you……"
He actually asked Changsun Chong to worship Du He as his disciple.
This is simply the biggest insult to Sikong Mansion.
Changsun Wuji's first reaction was that he absolutely could not agree, but then he thought about it, Du He had no chance of winning, so what was he afraid of?
So, Changsun Wuji said: "Okay, it's up to you. If I lose, I will let Chong'er become your teacher."
“It’s a deal!”
"No joke!"
It was an eye-opener for the other ministers.
This can be said to be the biggest gambling game in Chang'an City.
Du He's Banshan Academy was said to have cost 300,000 guan to build. Including the subsequent expenses, it cost at least 500,000 guan. However, the Sikong Mansion actually took out the eldest son of the Sikong Mansion, Changsun Chong. This bet... immediately became lively.
.
Of course, in everyone's opinion, Du He's chance of winning is zero.
Returning to Sikong Mansion, Changsun Wuji immediately invited a few more great scholars to come over and intensify the training of the scholars who became disciples of Sikong Mansion. This time, he could not afford to lose.
Du He, on the other hand, returned to Dream Group leisurely, took a nap, had dinner, and then slowly came to Banshan College and tutored students in the classroom.
After a few days, Su Han and others no longer dared to underestimate Du He, because no matter what knowledge he had, Du He could answer it clearly, which was not something ordinary people could do.
When Du He walked onto the podium, everyone fell silent and stared at him without blinking.
Du He walked up to the podium and said: "After five days of continuous examination, I have found that you guys are quite knowledgeable and you have not let me down."
Everyone had confident smiles on their faces. Compared with the dejected look before, they looked like completely different people.
Then I heard Du He say: "Starting from today, we will really prepare for the scientific examination in half a month."
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
The five days before co-writing were all wasted.
Are you not preparing for the scientific examination at all?
Su Han couldn't help but ask: "Dean, the scientific examination will be held in half a month. Is it too late to prepare now?"
Du He yawned and said angrily: "Why is it too late? If you ask me, three days is enough. Of course, you are stupid. Ten days is enough. Now there are still fifteen days. You don't have to
Don’t panic, just do it honestly.”
Bang bang bang.
Du He patted the table and said: "From today on, put all those Confucian classics under the bed, and honestly write down everything the dean said. The scientific examination will naturally not be a problem.
.”
"Today, we will talk about the composition method of eight-legged essay."
Eight-legged essay?
This is the first time everyone has heard this term.
But this is Du He's purpose.
Eight-part essay was a stinky thing in later generations. When it comes to eight-part essay, many people hate it deeply.
But Du He had been studying the eight-part essay for a period of time, and found that this thing, to put it bluntly, is a routine, or a template. Although it is mechanical and rigid and inhumane, it has one biggest advantage, that is, it is easy for ordinary people to master.
Besides, it was during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that eight-part essays proliferated.
Nowadays, eight-part essay is an advanced thing.
Playing tricks in an era where there is no discussion is a very exciting thing in itself.
Therefore, when Du He put out his theory, everyone's first reaction was, can this thing be done?
Faced with doubts, Du He slammed the table and said: "Shut up, now that I am the dean, there is only half a month left. You can either live or die. You make your own choice. Who doesn't listen to the lecture well?
If anyone dares to question, I will strip him naked and throw him outside. I have learned all these routines by heart. If he can't remember them, I will be rude to him..."
Du He finally took off his gentle mask and revealed his fierce side.
These scholars were timid by nature, so they had to succumb to Du He's power and memorize these routines every day on how to solve questions and write questions.
A few days later, the articles written by even those very poor scholars turned out to be decent. Although the content was somewhat empty, the form was unremarkable. All kinds of routines were used very well. This was Du.
The effect of charge.
Ten days passed, and after everyone had mastered the routine of the eight-part essay.
Du He then began to answer the question.
Today's scientific examinations are still purely strategic examinations, and the questions are simply questions about strategies, such as how to govern a country, how to solve floods, how to pacify the Xiongnu, and so on.
Only later will the content of the exam be continuously added, and the scientific exam at that time will be the most complete.
Naturally, Li Erlai came up with the questions for the policy test.
Du He guessed that it must be related to what was happening now.
So he went through more than 30 questions at once and spent five days forcing the sixty scholars to memorize them.
Five days passed quickly.
The weather has started to get cold.
On October 18th, the scientific examination began.
Early in the morning, these sixty scholars dressed up, had breakfast, and then took the carriage that Du He had prepared for them and arrived at Qujiang Imperial College.
This scientific examination was organized by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Because there were too many people, it was placed in the Imperial College, and the Jinshi Examination and the Scholar Examination were held at the same time.
After getting off the carriage, you can see many book traders standing at the entrance of the Imperial College in high spirits.
On the other hand, Su Han and others looked confused, and even walked a little unconfidently.

(Brothers, if you have something to do today, you will make up for what you owe tomorrow!)
