This time the academy's rewards were so huge that the people in the capital were eagerly waiting to see who would take the top spot and become rich in one fell swoop.
Before the announcement was made, Yu Qian was naturally indispensable when people were discussing it.
Among the common people, more people than those in the academy believed that the Zhenguo Association was shielding Yu Qian, and such opinions were even rampant.
However, the people's discussions did not affect the academy, and Han Du didn't care.
But as soon as the announcement came out, it caused a sensation among the people that was even greater than inside the academy.
Whenever three or two people get together in the streets, whether they are drinking and chatting or not, they will discuss the announcement of the academy.
In his words, he believed that the college's move was very fair, and that leaving the decision-making power to the college teachers and students reflected the fairness of the selection.
At the same time, some people admired Duke Zhen. He paid for all the rewards, and Yu Qian was his only disciple. Even if he protected Yu Qian and let him get a reward, others would not say anything.
But the Duke of Zhen did not do this. Instead, he set very fair rules from the beginning.
"Your method worked." Fang Xiaoru sat next to Han Du and said with a smile. He looked into his tea cup and then motioned to Han Du.
Han Du smiled and reached out to lift the teapot to pour him water. "You can't pour the tea when it's gone? Do you insist that I pour it for you? Could it be that you poured me the tea the day before yesterday and now you insist on changing it back?" ?”
Faced with Han Du's joking, Fang Xiaoru picked up the teacup and smelled it happily, nodded and said: "Yes, I am so stingy. Are you satisfied? You just patted your butt and left. Do you know this
Are you busy enough for me in two days? "
Han Du knew that Fang Xiaoru was telling the truth and did not argue with him. He consoled him considerately: "You know who I am. I am indeed very unfamiliar with the chores in the academy. I need you to pay more attention!"
The corners of Fang Xiaoru's mouth twitched, and the tea cup that was originally brought to his mouth was put down as if frustrated.
At this time, no matter how good the tribute tea was, there was no taste in his mouth. He reluctantly squeezed out a sentence, "I have a premonition that sooner or later, you will be exhausted to death by you."
Han Du smiled and shook his head, "Then you should quickly train a successor and then leave all the affairs to him. Wouldn't it be easier for you?"
"If you want to say that, then I really have a candidate." Fang Xiaoru turned away from his displeasure and looked at Han Du with a smile.
Han Du's heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You don't want to say it's Yu Qian, do you?"
"Haha..." Fang Xiaoru looked at Han Du solemnly and sighed deeply: "Your eyes are still as vicious as ever. I thought you wouldn't think of it, but I didn't expect that you would do it so easily." Just guessed it.”
"Yes, it's Yu Qian!"
"Why do you think he can inherit the academy?" Han Du asked Fang Xiaoru seriously without smiling.
Fang Xiaoru did not answer directly, but took a deep breath and sighed: "The academy will definitely be the number one in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and it is the place that scholars in the world dream of. I also have selfish motives. If there are really disciples who can inherit the academy, I will not be with you. polite!"
Fang Xiaoru turned her head and looked into Han Du's eyes, not even the slightest bit joking.
After a while, he collected
Looking back, he sighed again: "It's a pity. Although I have many disciples, only a few of them can achieve success, and none of them can compare with Yu Qian, or even far apart."
"Even if my skin is thicker than the corner of the city wall, I still don't have the shame to let them take charge of the academy! If they can be teachers in the academy, I will be satisfied."
After hearing this, Han Du lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to worry about Yu Qian. He doesn't even know whether he wants to be in charge of the academy or not."
"What? He didn't mention it to you?" Not only did this not make Fang Xiaoru feel happy at all, but he actually became very nervous.
"No." Han Du shook his head directly, "He is also a person who likes to study knowledge. I am afraid that his interest in studying knowledge is far greater than being in charge of the academy!"
"You're confused!" Fang Xiaoru slapped his palms heavily on the chair with a stern expression.
Han Du was slightly startled. He didn't expect Fang Xiaoru's reaction to be so big, "What's wrong?"
Fang Xiaoru's chest rose and fell violently, and his mouth felt dry for a while. He immediately picked up the tea cup and took a few sips. You must know that he pays the most attention to etiquette when drinking tea on weekdays. He only tastes the sweetness and fragrance of tea in small sips, and will not do such tacky drinking behavior.
"Although the academy is now ahead of the Imperial College, you don't think that the Imperial College is willing to admit defeat, right?"
Imperial College... Han Du lowered his head and pondered.
For thousands of years, the Imperial College has been the best university in the world. Although it has gone through many dynasties, this has not changed at all.
Now that the academy is taking advantage of him, the Imperial College must be
I won't give in to this.
"You mean, the Imperial College will still attack the Academy?"
"It's not that it will happen again, it's definitely!" Fang Xiaoru reminded loudly, "I know those people in the Imperial College very well, even if they don't make any move now. But that is not bowing to the academy, but they are shrinking their minions and preparing to give the academy A full blow."
The fist must be retracted first, and then punched out to gain strength. Han Du naturally understood this truth.
It was just that there had been no movement from the Imperial College, so Han Du ignored them for the time being. Now being reminded by Fang Xiaoru, Han Du suddenly felt that what he said was very reasonable.
The Imperial College has a long history. Even if the academy suddenly emerges very rapidly, it will not leave the Imperial College with no room to fight back.
However, from the beginning to the end, the Imperial College only made an effort once to allocate Jinshi quotas, and never again.
This is not normal!
Originally, Han Du thought that he would be satisfied if he got half of the places in the Imperial College, but now it seems that is not the case.
That's right, competing with the academy, how can one have the comfort of a dominant family? What's more, the Imperial College was originally a dominant family, but the academy robbed them of their glory.
If it were Han Du himself, he wouldn't let it go.
"hiss......"
Seeing Han Du's eyes flashing, Fang Xiaoru continued to remind: "Therefore, there must be a strong man to guard the academy in order to deal with the counterattack of the Imperial College. This candidate, the entire academy must be Yu Qian. Even if he is really unwilling, You also have to convince him. Matters related to the survival of the academy cannot be tolerated by him."
After finishing speaking, he quickly went to Korea to visit
He added, "I know that you have always doted on Qian, but now is not the time for you to show your deep love for master and disciple. You must put the overall situation first!"
The overall situation is important! ! !
Han Du rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, never expecting that one day he would be trapped by these four words.
