Han Du sneered at Liu Sanwu's words, thinking that the old man must be crazy, or he felt that he had had enough life and must commit suicide in front of Lao Zhu. Only then would he take his own good intentions as an act of indifference.
He also said that this is my trouble, so if it is my trouble, I will eat...
Just as Han Du was swearing viciously in his heart, Liu Sanwu smiled slightly, folded his hands on his legs, and assumed an elegant posture.
After looking at Han Du carefully, he said with enlightenment: "It seems that you really don't know."
"What should I know?" Han Du pondered, and for some reason he had a bad premonition. Moreover, this feeling became stronger and stronger as the smile on Liu Sanwu's face became stronger and stronger.
"This Dingmao Examination, there are 300 people to be selected, and your academy accounts for almost 200 people. Now the northern scholars are just complaining about the unfairness of my selection of scholars. You said, if they know that there are so many people in the academy and high school... ....hehe."
Damn it! ! !
Han Du suddenly trembled, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Now because Liu Sanwu did not marry a northern scholar, even Lao Zhu felt it was extremely difficult and had to put down his attitude and discuss it with Liu Sanwu. If the northern scholars were to know that so many people had been admitted to the academy at once, it would be even more serious for the academy to commit fraud.
This is inevitable.
Han Du suddenly widened his eyes, looked up at Liu Sanwu, and said angrily: "Sir, I have no grudges with you in the past, right? Why do you want to harm me like this?"
Based on Han Du's original plan, he didn't think that the academy could enroll so many people in high school at once. Han Du's initial idea was very simple, that is, to allow everyone who can take the examination to give it a try, and then to pass a few more exams, without embarrassing the academy too much. Who would have thought that Liu Sanwu would take over nearly two hundred people from the academy in one fell swoop?
A total of three hundred scholars were recruited, and the academy accounted for more than half. This was to push the academy out and make it a target of public criticism!
Liu Sanwu, however, was sitting calmly, as if this was not the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but his study. The angrier Han Du becomes, the happier Liu Sanwu becomes. Yes, I am afraid that everyone now thinks that this northern scholar causing trouble will be a big trouble for Liu Sanwu. Even the emperor will think so. But who could have known that Liu Sanwu had already thought of someone to blame?
It is a rare blessing in life to have someone to take the blame when you encounter trouble.
"How can you say that I harmed you?"
When Han Du saw Liu Sanwu's deliberate provocation, the national curse in his heart began to flow like a torrent. He said fiercely: "Why do you want to recruit so many scholars from the academy? This is not to harm the academy. Why do you do this?"
Liu Sanwu's smile faded and he said sternly: "I said that this time Ding Mao Ke will test for justice, and I dare to say this even to the emperor. Didn't you hear it just now? The emperor found someone else to re-mark the test, and he also thought that this time There is nothing wrong with selecting scholars impartially by taking examinations. The scholars in your academy have outstanding literary talent, and their policy papers are well-organized, well-founded and persuasive. Each one of them is the best choice. I select scholars based on their talents. Why is it wrong?
To be honest, when I first read the article, I was really happy and surprised. What's great is that I can see so many beautiful articles at once. For an old man who only knows how to read the old stories of sages and sages, he is naturally overjoyed to see that the literary tradition is prosperous and there are successors. What is surprising is that such a talented person can suddenly appear in an academy. This is a blessing to the court and the people. But at the same time, I am also uneasy. So many scholars, each of whom is a temporary choice, appear at the same time. If I take all the soldiers, I will inevitably attract criticism. But later, I still adhered to my original intention and took them one by one. I really can't accept so many good talents and beautiful jade, just because of my timidity, I am still unknown. "
"But to be honest, it really troubled me when I was selecting scholars. Every scholar in your academy is good enough, and I want to rank them in order, but it makes me sleep hard all day long. After thinking about it for several days, I finally decided on the ranking bit by bit.”
Han Du was naturally delighted to hear that Liu Sanwu spoke so highly of the academy students. When a student achieves success, it brings glory to your husband's face. But then he fell into pain again. The reason why Han Du was explaining the key points of the policy and bombarding them with a sea of questions tactics. The purpose is to achieve a good result in this examination.
But he didn't expect that he would use too much force, causing the academy students to almost dominate the rankings.
Coupled with the fact that the northern students were making such a fuss, even Lao Zhu found this matter difficult and didn't know how to end it.
Looking back now, if I had known this, I shouldn't have pushed the academy students too hard in the first place. Maybe it would have been a good thing to let them do whatever they wanted.
Although Han Du's attitude towards Liu Sanwu has become extremely bad since he learned that there are nearly two hundred people in the academy high school.
But Liu Sanwu didn't mind at all, and instead wanted to get closer to Han Du more and more. In Liu Sanwu's view, no matter how bad Han Du's attitude was, if he could cultivate so many great talents, then he had contributed to the prosperity of the cultural context.
Liu Sanwu has been reading the articles of sages all his life. He really doesn't value being an official very much. On the contrary, he values their successors more than his own life.
The two were silent for a while, and the smile on Liu Sanwu's face slowly faded, and he said to Han Du seriously: "Although the northern scholars are still focusing on me now, thinking that I am engaging in malpractice for personal gain, I'm afraid it won't be long. , they will be aware of what happened at Xuanyuan Shizi High School, and if things happen again, I'm afraid things will become even more difficult to deal with, so you have to be prepared in advance."
Han Du raised his head and took a deep look at Liu Sanwu. His slightly old face turned rosy, as if he and Han Du were discussing what to eat for the next meal. At this time, Han Du slowly came to his senses. Liu Sanwu refused to give in, not for his own sake and to dance to death in front of Lao Zhu, but to delay as much as possible and buy time for the academy. As long as everyone's eyes are still focused on him, naturally no one will notice the academy.
I'm afraid Liu Sanwu is regretting it now. If he hadn't recruited so many scholars from the academy, he wouldn't have brought huge trouble to these people now. But he didn't expect that this matter would become such a big deal. Compared with the past, there have always been more southern scholars recruiting scholars, and no northern scholars have made a fuss.
Han Du took a deep breath, stood up, bowed to Liu Sanwu, and said, "Han Du thanked you, sir, please rest assured. I will do my best to keep you safe and sound."
Liu Sanwu had done everything he needed to do, and said what needed to be said to Han Du. He looked at Han Du and smiled calmly: "Life is rare in the past seventy years. If I live to this age, I will be content for a long time. You What we should do now is to take out the academy as soon as possible. As for me... just let nature take its course."
Han Du couldn't help but be moved by Liu Sanwu's words. He wanted to help the academy with his life.
"I heard that the wine in your house is good. If you are interested, you can bring me some." Liu Sanwu suddenly smacked his bar and mouth, looking like he was greedy for wine.
Han Du took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, sir, we have enough wine."
"Hahaha, that's good." Liu Sanwu laughed.
Han Du bowed and retreated. Thinking of the violent storm he was about to face, his face suddenly darkened. This matter was so difficult that even Lao Zhu didn't have any good solution, so he took the initiative to give in and wanted Liu Sanwu to step down for him.
But Liu Sanwu directly chose to fight with Lao Zhu for the sake of the academy, without giving Lao Zhu any face.
Paper cannot keep fire. As Liu Sanwu said, even if he did this, he could only buy time temporarily and could not completely solve the problem.
As time goes by, northern scholars will surely gradually know that most of the names on the imperial list are scholars from the academy.
"Huh~" Thinking of this, Han Du let out a long breath. I still have to thank the rules for displaying people's names on the imperial list. It only shows the name of a certain province, prefecture, county and person, but does not indicate where the person studied. If the place of study was even marked, then I am afraid that all the scholars who participated in the examination would have exploded.
'There are actually 200 scholars in the academy, and they all hold the first-class and most of the second-class places? '
Then it is not Liu Sanwu who is the target of public criticism now, but the Academy.
Liu Sanwu was right, this was indeed his own trouble! Han Du thought bitterly.
"Master Hou...Master Hou?" When Liu Laotou saw Han Du coming out, he looked thoughtful as if he hadn't noticed him, so he called Han Du.
Seeing that Han Du didn't respond at all, he continued to shout a few more times.
At this time, Han Du noticed Liu Laotou's words and came back to his senses.
"Huh? What's wrong?" He turned to look at Liu Laotou and asked in confusion.
Liu Lao didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while. After swallowing his head, he asked tentatively: "Have you finished meeting Mr. Marquis and Mr. Liu?"
Han Du nodded subconsciously, hummed, then stopped to think for a moment, turned to Liu Laotou and said: "The old man is old, please be careful, don't let the old man starve and freeze. Also, the old man If you want to drink, I will ask someone to bring it to you when I get back. But you have to remember that the boss can drink, but don’t let him drink too much. Two small glasses a day is enough."
"Mr. Hou, I have remembered your words. This allows Mr. Liu to eat well and clothe himself. Even if Mr. Hou doesn't tell me, I will do it. But Mr. Hou makes Mr. Liu drink and drink every day. I only gave this little... The little one was confused by the Marquis. Should I give it or not?" Liu Laotou scratched his head, wondering what Han Du meant.
