On the other side, Young Master Yang glanced at the candidates present with a triumphant expression, as if he had defeated a big rooster.
"Okay, okay, put down the brushes in your hands! With me here, there is no need to answer these messy questions today."
"When the headmaster of Lanxiang Academy comes over in a while, I will personally tell him how to set the question!"
As soon as these words came out, many candidates put down their writing brushes and looked at Young Master Yan standing in the middle.
Several of them recognized Young Master Yan's identity, so they immediately bowed and saluted:
"I didn't expect that Brother Yan would actually come to take the exam. This really makes their Lanxiang Academy shine!"
"Yes, yes! Lanxiang Academy is just a low-class academy. To attract a figure like Mr. Yan, it must be received by the mountain chief himself."
"That makes sense. Our Young Master Yan has rejected a great talent from the Royal Academy. How can a mere Lanxiang Academy be worthy of Young Master Yan's status?"
Listening to the echoes of all the students, Mr. Yan felt extremely happy.
Even if he ordered three girls at Qunfang House in one go, he would definitely not feel as comfortable as he does now!
But he still did not forget the purpose of his trip. He raised his hand and temporarily suppressed the compliments from the students. Then he said with a righteous look:
"Now that you all understand my identity, I will not be pretentious."
"This test paper is unreasonable. I will naturally discuss this matter with the headmaster of Lanxiang Academy."
"But...there is one thing I want to ask of you."
Hearing that Mr. Yan was in trouble, he asked them for help. The faces of many students showed excitement.
"If Mr. Yan has any plans, just give him orders and wait."
"That's right, it's our blessing to be able to serve Mr. Yan."
Hearing this, Young Master Yan felt even more proud. Not only did he enjoy being treated like a star, but he also completed the tasks assigned by Mr. Sun.
And his friends secretly extended their thumbs to him.
Mr. Yan coughed lightly, his face suddenly became upright, and he assumed a compassionate posture.
"I think you all have realized that this test paper is unreasonable. But this classroom we are in is just one of hundreds of examination rooms."
"In order to save other students, we must reveal the news of changing the test papers to other students. Only in this way can we show the integrity of scholars like us."
"Therefore, I, Yan Liang, would like to ask you one thing. That is, please tell the students in other examination centers that this examination is cancelled."
As soon as this statement came out, many students raised their hands and said yes.
"Brother Yan, don't worry, just leave these little things to me!"
"That's right, what we do is also to do justice for heaven."
"Brother Yan has a heart for the world, we really admire him!"
Listening to the compliments from all directions, the smile on Mr. Yan's face grew stronger.
Huh, he's just a dead eunuch.
Even if you really come to see me, I won't see you.
Because you are not worthy at all!
…
At this moment, Yang Dong was leading several eunuchs from the West Factory to inspect the examination room.
He attaches great importance to this entrance examination of Lanxiang Academy. Of course, it is not only him who attaches great importance to this exam, but also the Emperor Zhou who is sitting on the dragon throne in the palace.
Yang Dong even had a vague feeling that Lin Chunqiu's old dog was also paying attention to this exam.
No matter which college it is, the purpose of recruiting students is only one, and that is to accumulate talents.
Now that the situation in the DPRK is in turmoil, Hou Jin's cavalry may go south at any time.
And some timid people have already fled towards the south.
Yang Dong is almost certain that as long as there is news in the capital that the Houjin Iron Cavalry is heading south.
At this moment, among the princes in the court, there must be many who have given up their official positions in order to escape for their lives.
After all, they may not be able to spend all the money they have earned over the years in ten lifetimes.
The plan of Yang Dong and the Empress is to fill these vacant positions with students trained by Lan Xiang Academy.
As a result, the power of the Empress's faction will inevitably grow rapidly in the court.
Although he is not on the same level as Lin Chunqiu, he is still on the same level as Lin Chunqiu. But at least it can make the restrictions on the empress a lot easier.
This is why Yang Dong attaches so much importance to this exam.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the conversation between two people not far away.
"Third uncle, what do you think of this matter?"
"From the scholar's tone, it seems that his background is astonishingly large. Should we invite the mountain chief here immediately?"
Then there was another steady voice,
"Isn't this inappropriate? Even though the scholar has an extraordinary status, he is here as a student after all. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for us to directly ask the mountain chief to come forward."
Speaking of this, the steady voice seemed to hesitate.
After a pause, he continued:
"That's all, I'll go with you and take a look first. Listen to what he wants! If he is really a talent, it won't be too late to inform the mountain chief."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of two footsteps went away into the distance.
Yang Dong frowned, pondered for a moment, and then followed.
But even he didn't expect that under Mr. Yan's call, more and more candidates would begin to protest in the examination room.
And in a dark corner, a pair of eyes were staring at the scene happening in Lan Xiang Academy.
"That boy from the Sun family, I didn't expect that this time he was unexpectedly reliable. In this way, it saved a lot of energy for me and others."
"Comrades, it's time to perform meritorious service! The chief minister said that if we burn down the Lanxiang Academy today, we will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"One hundred thousand taels!?"
The men in black behind him couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Although they earn a lot of money, they have never seen so much money.
With so much money, they can buy a large amount of land. Wouldn't it be nice to be a wealthy landowner with peace of mind?
As a result, the leader said again:
"The Chief Assistant also said that as long as everyone completes this vote, the Chief Assistant will let us leave. From now on, the disputes in the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with us!"
Hearing this, the other men in black trembled with excitement.
With money, there is freedom.
By then, the world will be big, and everywhere can be my hometown!
Buy a large tract of fertile land and acquire several wives and concubines.
Wife and children are on the hot bed. Isn’t it beautiful to live like this?
"Okay, everyone. How we go from here depends on your actions today."
"Lan Xiang Academy, we will burn it down!"
"Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground!"
After a few slogans, the men in black immediately dispersed and headed to the designated place to start the fire.
Some people died, but not completely...
