In a remote corner of the palace.
Two hot sentences, entangled with each other.
The temperature in the air was rising, and the clothes left on the soft couch almost piled up into a small mountain.
Just when the two were planning to fight for three hundred rounds.
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Xiao Dongzi, Xiao Dongzi!"
"Come out quickly, His Majesty summons you urgently!"
"In the direction of Guyuguan, Hou Jin's army seems to have made new movements!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong, who was originally looking greedy, felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him from head to toe.
Wait, is there something new at Guyyu Pass?
Is it possible that Hou Jin's army went south?
Yang Dong immediately perked up and cast an apologetic look at Ji Siyu, who was breathing heavily on the soft couch.
"You are not allowed to leave yet, at least... at least wait until I tell you Houjin's latest battle report, okay?"
On the soft couch, Ji Siyu's face was flushed, with a look of hesitation on his cheeks.
After a moment, she nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
…
Outside the capital, Lanxiang Academy.
Counting the days, it has been some time since Lanxiang Academy started classes.
But starting from the second day, some students chose to leave Lanxiang Academy one after another.
At the foot of the hill on the west side of the academy is the student dormitory.
In the dormitory, Zhao Yu had just finished washing his face in the bathroom when he heard a roommate in the same dormitory speaking to persuade everyone:
"Dear classmates, this Lanxiang Academy is really misleading students! Please stop having high hopes, okay? It's better to leave with me quickly and review as soon as possible to take the imperial examination."
As soon as these words came out, many roommates looked a little shaken in their eyes.
The roommate who persuaded the person to leave saw this and immediately added fuel to the fire.
"Let me ask you, has it been a month since we entered school? But if you think about it carefully, is it all arithmetic that those gentlemen have taught us these days?"
As soon as this statement came out, many students immediately spoke in agreement.
"What this brother said is true. Our gentleman spends all his time in the same cage as a chicken and a rabbit. I really can't figure it out. What's the use of thinking about these questions?"
"Brother, I have great advice! We, the scholars, should cultivate our moral integrity, harmonize our family, govern the country and bring peace to the world. Can we cultivate our body through mere arithmetic? Or can we manage our family? Or can we govern our country and bring peace to the world?"
After hearing this, most of the students couldn't help but clapped their hands.
I have to say that this man's words revealed almost all the questions in everyone's mind.
Didn't they join Lanxiang Academy just to have a place to study so that they could take the imperial examination and win the honor when they had the opportunity in the future?
But now it seems that the content taught in Lanxiang Academy has little to do with the imperial examination.
As a result, many students naturally started to think about quitting.
It's just that Lanxiang Academy, after all, includes food and accommodation. Living here, objectively speaking, can save a lot of money. Therefore, for many students, although they were a little shaken, they did not choose to leave immediately.
After all, three cents is enough to stump a heroic man, and even these so-called superior scholars are still not exempt from the vulgarity.
"Brothers and classmates! The matter has come to this, don't you still understand?"
The man who initially advised everyone to leave, spoke again.
"This Lanxiang Academy is clearly deliberately trying to undermine our will to take the imperial examination and then waste our time."
"If you don't wake up in time, your life will be wasted!"
"Wake up, leaving Lanxiang Academy as soon as possible is the only way out for you and me."
At this moment, many students' thoughts have begun to waver.
Zhao Yu on the side was wiping his hair, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Leave Lanxiang Academy? You can even think of such a bad idea!"
When he heard that his idea was called a "bad idea," a blush of anger immediately appeared on the student's cheeks.
"Brother, I ask myself, I have never provoked you, so why are you forcing me so hard?"
"You think I'm forcing you?"
Zhao Yu was startled at first, and then a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Okay, in that case, just leave. If you want to come to Lanxiang Academy, I won't like a guy like you who eats everything."
As soon as these words came out, the student's expression immediately changed.
"If you are so mean and slanderous, who will take advantage of you?"
"Isn't it?"
Zhao Yu smiled coldly,
"I guess you got a lot of benefits from that Mr. Wu. Otherwise, why did you go to such lengths to publicize the disadvantages of Lanxiang Academy? And since Lanxiang Academy is so bad, why didn't you leave immediately?"
"me……"
The man was speechless, and for a moment, he was speechless.
"Why, you stopped talking? Maybe I guessed it right!"
Zhao Yu smiled coldly, then cupped his hands towards the other students and said loudly:
"If you think about it carefully, if Lanxiang Academy is really just trying to harm us, why would it spend so much manpower, material and financial resources to build an academy? Wouldn't it be more direct to open more cheap brothels? "
As soon as these words came out, a look of sudden realization appeared on the cheeks of many students.
What's more, his face was filled with evil smiles.
"What Brother Zhao said is absolutely true. If Manager Yang really wants us to sink, he can just open a few more brothels. Why go to such trouble?"
At this time, another student asked.
"Brother Zhao, I still don't understand. Since, as you said, this Lanxiang Academy was not established to kill our willpower, then why do the gentlemen here pay so much attention to arithmetic?"
This question made Zhao Yu frown slightly.
But in his heart, he felt a little relieved. Because there are finally students who are starting to think about the true purpose of Lanxiang Academy.
As an ordinary person, Zhao Yu naturally had no way of knowing the true purpose of establishing Lanxiang Academy.
But unlike other students, he had indeed had contact with Manager Yang.
It is precisely because of this that he has different ideas from other students.
Manager Yang, who entered Luozhou single-handedly, turned a poor, flood-prone state into a place with abundant food and clothing.
For such a person who is close to a genius, no matter what he does, he naturally has a reason.
And vaguely, Zhao Yu also felt that arithmetic was not without its merits. For example, a few days ago, when I was helping the restaurant settle accounts, my speed was obviously much faster.
In addition, the chief clerk of the Yamen will occasionally look for some people to help with counting.
He stayed at Lanxiang Academy for a month, but found many things and became much more comfortable with them.
Some people died, but not completely...
