Chapter 220: People’s hearts are unpredictable
"The scholars from the south of the Yangtze River are famous for their outstanding talents and learning. Even though the younger generation is from the Jin Kingdom, I admire you brothers very much. Those who can be ranked in the high school are all the proud sons of heaven and dragons and phoenixes among men. I would like to express my congratulations to you brothers in advance." .”
Although there are hundreds of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River who don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Wanyang Gourd, they naturally have to return the gift respectfully when Wanyang salutes and congratulates. The style of scholars and etiquette are vividly displayed at this moment.
Only a few people, including Liu Mingzhi, had strange expressions on their faces. They seemed to understand Wan Yang's intention, which was to elevate everyone to a high position.
Just as the saying goes that no matter what happens, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace, a mouse cries and a cat pretends to be compassionate. Wan Yang suddenly covered up the previous tense situation and turned to compliment everyone. He must have other intentions.
Wan Yang looked at the Jiangnan scholars who responded one after another and smiled evilly: "Brothers, all of you who are sitting high in the Gongyuan today must be famous people in this area. I led the Jin Kingdom envoy to the Dragon Kingdom this time because I want to pay homage to many scholars. I would like to ask for advice. Traditionally, the competition between Jin Kingdom and Dalong has always involved one person and multiple formations. If you lose, you will be replaced. Many celebrities have not even had the chance to play, and they have passed by the opportunity to become famous in the world. I am really sad. Therefore, In order to save your face, I would like to suggest that you can randomly select people from Puxian Academy to conduct the rest of the six elegant competitions, so that I can see that you are people who have lived in vain, and also for the scholars of the Jin Kingdom. What do you think of this opportunity to ask for advice?"
Wan Yang did not ask Qi Run and Zhao Fengshou for advice at all, but directly fanned the flames of the Jiangnan scholars.
It has to be said that Wan Yang's strategy was successful, or that his control over people's hearts was quite clear. After ten years of hard work, he became famous all over the world. Isn't the purpose of everyone here studying and taking the exam just to become famous?
In the past, when the two countries faced each other, they always selected those high-ranking scholars to compete, while the students outside the ten or even fifty were just spectators.
Wen Wu was first and Wu Wu was second. These scholars who were ranked behind were not very convinced by people like Liu Mingzhi. They just thought that the questions they encountered were things they were not good at, so they were ranked behind.
This is also a kind of unwillingness to admit defeat. We are all on the list. Why should I let you go if I have something to do? I will let you have the opportunity to become famous in the world.
Whether you win or lose against the scholars of Jin State Puxian Academy, it will be spread. It is just the difference between good reputation and bad reputation.
So after Wan Yang finished speaking, hundreds of high school scholars began to commotion, chatting with each other, and discussing the pros and cons.
Qi Run and Zhao Fengshou, who were on the high platform, both changed their expressions. They also saw how vicious Wan Yang's plan was.
Qin Bin is barely one of the evenly matched opponents among the twenty scholars of the Jin Kingdom. It's hard to say for the others.
By the same token, are there only twenty scholars in the Samantabhadra Academy of the Kingdom of Jin? No, these twenty scholars are also talented people selected from the short ones.
Playing the top twenty scholars of Puxian Yuan against the famous scholars from Jiangnan is like Tian Ji racing a horse and winning with superiority.
"This person is quite capable of inciting people at such a young age!"
"Master Qi, I see that something is not right now. These students below are obviously interested, and what Wan Yang said is well-founded. Even if we stop them, it will not help. Instead, we will have a reputation of suppressing the late scholars."
Qi Run waved his sleeves helplessly: "Confused, these people are really confused, young and frivolous. Do they think that the twenty people selected by the Kingdom of Jin to fight are all common people?"
"Sir, what should I do? This matter can no longer be suppressed!"
"What should we do? What can we do? If you and I dare to order suppression, it will definitely cause a mutiny. The people here are not ordinary students. They are high school candidates who are qualified to participate in the court meeting. If a mutiny occurs Neither you nor I can eat and walk around."
"But if they really come on the field at will, the top ten students can be said to be good, and some of them can give it a try. If these students at the bottom of the crane come on the field, aren't they going to give rankings to the scholars of the Jin Kingdom? Today's competition If we lose and lose the face of the court, we will not be able to live with it."
Qi Run looked at the hundreds of Jiangnan scholars who were talking more and more intensely, frowning and waving to Liu Mingzhi, who was lower down: "Zhi'er, come up, I have something to say to you."
The matter had reached the point where it was out of control. Liu Mingzhi did not hesitate and walked directly to the high platform: "Father-in-law, Mr. Zhao, this man named Wan obviously uses offense as defense. He provoked the hearts of all the students here not to be content with others, and it was very difficult for him to do so. It’s clear he succeeded.”
Liu Mingzhi turned to look at the scholars who were already eager to take the stage, and immediately concluded that Wan Yang's plan was successful.
Seeing Liu Mingzhi on stage talking to Qi Run and Zhao Fengshou in a low voice, Wan Yang turned a blind eye and stood there looking at Liu Mingzhi's figure: "Liu, no matter how you try to drive away wolves and devour tigers, you can win." People’s hearts?”
Zhao Fengshou looked at the many students below attentively: "We have won two games in a row. As long as there are three more games left, the overall situation will be decided. No matter what happens, the two ties left will not lose the dignity of the court. Liu Jieyuan, you have Any good ideas?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered slightly: "If the brothers Hu Jun, Li Peichao, Lin Yangming, and Qi Liang come on stage, they may not be able to fight. However, it is not that the juniors want to weaken their own morale. If the brothers from behind come on stage, the defeat will be defeated. It has been determined that the scholars of Jin State's Samantabhadra Academy are definitely not a mob, but are all elites. But the two adults also saw it, and they can no longer control it. The most troublesome thing is that if Hu Jun is named by name, who will The confrontation between brothers will definitely arouse the rebellious psychology of the other scholars, and the juniors will have nothing to do."
"More than a hundred scholars can't all come on stage. We can only choose six people to face each other. We can just draw lots to decide. It won't take much time. How difficult can it be for you to make a little move? I'm going on and on!" Li Yugang narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched and said in an impatient tone.
The three people's eyes lit up, and they all looked sideways at Li Yugang, who was sitting high on the side like a passerby. They tacitly thought of a word, old fox.
Also, only six people can play out of more than 100 people. It's unfair to let anyone play, so let's make it fair. Draw lots to decide who will play. It's fair and reasonable.
If you alienate people's hearts, we will gather them to see who has the better strategy. We will draw lots and do a little behind-the-scenes operation. It's really not that difficult.
It seems that the result has been discussed, and many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River saluted Qi Run, Zhao Fengshou and others: "Your Majesty, we are all willing to strive for the country's prestige. Please grant us your permission."
Liu Mingzhi didn't want to stay up there any longer, so he walked down slowly, walked slowly to Wan Yang and looked directly at him: "You are so vicious!"
Wan Yang smiled noncommittally and pointed at the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River: "Brother Liu, when people suffer from scarcity but not equality, it is not because they are vicious, but because they are greedy. If they are all dedicated to serving the public, I will This little trick is just the way of a clown."
Liu Mingzhi also glanced at the many scholars who were obsessed with the idea of becoming famous all over the world: "You are really powerful in your schemes, and you know how to grasp people's hearts, but there is an old saying in our Dragon Kingdom, you have Zhang Liang's plan, I have done it before Wall Ladder, let’s ride on the donkey and read the songbook and see.”
As a habit, Young Master Liu couldn't help but take out a folding fan from his sleeve and opened it in a smart way.
Wan Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at the folding fan in Young Master Liu's hand: "My Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan."
