After calming down these unruly students, Yang Fan turned to Li Yifu and said:
"To deal with these dandy boys, you have to pay attention to methods. The more respectful you are, the more aggressive they will be."
"As the saying goes, if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house and uncover the tiles. The more ruthless you are, the more cowardly they will be..."
The words were said in front of all the candidates, and everyone could hear them clearly, which almost made this group of children from a lawless family almost mad to death.
For a time, many students were filled with indignation and started talking quietly below, but no one dared to refute or take the lead.
No matter how unhappy they are, these people just mutter a few words to vent their anger and depression at being looked down upon.
With Yang Fan's cold gaze, everyone immediately shut up and the whole place fell into silence.
Seeing such a scene, Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction, looked at other officials from the Ministry of Rites and said:
"As a court official, we must remember in the future that our Ministry of Rites is no longer someone who can be manipulated at will."
Read the book
"If anyone dares to fry his wings, he will be disqualified from participating in the imperial examination!"
"If these dandy boys continue to be so lawless, I don't have to wait for you to say anything. The elders of the family will beat them to pieces."
"They even have to come to us with a smile to plead for mercy afterwards!"
As for Yang Fan's arrogance, these aristocratic families just dismissed it, but many candidates fell silent when they heard it.
Although what Yang Fan said was unpleasant, it was very reasonable.
None of the students dared to refute.
If you are deprived of the qualification to take the imperial examination, won't you lose the ability to be arrogant and domineering in the future?
If they become a rice bug and are no longer of use to the family, the clan elder will not only beat them until their skin is torn to pieces, but may even strangle them to death!
Li Yifu was a little stunned. It was indeed Yang Fan's style. Who cares?
However, after thinking about it carefully, Yang Fan was right.
After all, the current Ministry of Rites is not the former Ministry of Rites!
Now not only does he have the support of His Majesty the Emperor, Yang Fan is also in control of the formulation of various policies for the imperial examination.
As long as you have the big killer weapon of the imperial examination in your hands, you will be in charge of the talent selection in the world.
No matter how prominent your family background is and how strong your backing is, what can they do without Yang Fan's approval?
Why are the children of these aristocratic families so afraid of Yang Fan? It's because Yang Fan is not afraid of anyone and doesn't give anyone face.
More importantly, Yang Fan is always against the family?
Therefore, as long as Yang Fan is willing, he can directly deprive someone of their qualifications for the imperial examination!
Of course, the premise is that Yang Fan is reckless.
After all, once Yang Fan deliberately targets him and wants to be an official, he will have to live in the next life.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites suddenly became more energetic after thinking about it, and they were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. When will the Ministry of Rites be prosperous?
After stopping the chaos, Yang Fan asked Li Junxian to lead others to maintain order and at the same time organized the students to enter the venue in order.
Yang Fan, on the other hand, stood aside in case something changed.
The Imperial College inherited the former Sui Dynasty, and its scale was grand.
As the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, it has complete facilities. In addition to teaching buildings, warehouses, and sanatoriums, the campus buildings are all available.
There are dozens of houses alone, and the buildings are row upon row.
The sun hasn't fully risen yet, but it's already bright.
Yang Fan moved the chair and sat carelessly in front of the entrance door of the examination room. There was a book in front of him, and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and his own bodyguards stood on both sides.
Soon, the candidates at the door were searched and let in.
Sitting on the chair, looking at these nervous and anxious candidates in front of me, I felt sad in my heart.
Who would have thought that one day he would become a hated invigilator.
It feels like yesterday when I think back to the time I faced the invigilator when I was taking the exam. I was worried about being found out if cheat sheets were found, and I was afraid of being discovered when I peeked at other people’s answers.
After thinking about it, Yang Fan ordered his soldiers to bring over a large vat and placed it next to the eucalyptus.
Then, facing Li Yifu, he said: "You are all young talents, and the future of the country depends on your hands."
"So, selecting the country's pillars of talent is what we should do."
"No!" Li Yifu looked like he was being taught.
Soon, everyone came in one after another, and many of the people being checked had some minor problems.
As for the person who was found carrying something, as long as he didn't mess around, Yang Fan could pretend he didn't see it.
I didn't realize that I was also a candidate at this time.
Seeing how everyone was afraid to express their feelings, Yang Fan felt as comfortable as drinking ice water.
Seeing some students trying to avoid inspection, Yang Fan said coldly: "I would like to advise everyone not to take chances. All the officials here are very sharp-eyed."
"If he is found out later, he will have no choice but to be tested for qualifications for life."
"Of course, there are many people from aristocratic families who fish in troubled waters and want to have good luck and pass exams to enter official careers."
"But I can tell you that it is impossible!
"Since you are poor scholars who have been studying hard for several years since childhood, I just want to say that everyone only has this chance now. I hope you can cherish this exam and don't ruin your future by mistake!"
All the candidates looked at each other.
One candidate hesitated for a moment, looked at Yang Fan's coldness with a guilty conscience, gritted his teeth, and took off his cotton-padded jacket.
The lining of the cotton-padded jacket was densely covered with small prints, which amazed the invigilating officials and puzzled them - how was he going to read these answers during the exam later?
This candidate was probably a poor scholar with an average family background. After taking off his cotton-padded jacket, he was left with only a middle coat. The clothes were not neatly lined, so it was difficult to get in.
The student probably knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the exam, and he looked very depressed.
After studying hard for many years, I thought that one day I would be able to get out of slavery with my knowledge and that I would be able to live a prosperous life.
But in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
Today, I am in my twenties and still have accomplished nothing.
The imperial examination is simply a God-given opportunity for poor students like them who study hard.
You can leap into the dragon gate with a strategy in mind!
But who would have thought that he would die before fighting?
Even so, this candidate is just sorry.
At the same time, I feel ashamed that my parents will have to accompany me to suffer for a few more years, waiting for the next imperial examination.
But if his involvement is discovered, there will be no chance of becoming an official in the imperial examination for the rest of his life.
Such an ending would be a disaster for him, and he absolutely cannot bear it!
The breeze blew, making the candidate shiver. He smiled wryly and bowed to Yang Fan: "I'm afraid the student won't be able to complete the exam. However, the student's family is poor. If he gets sick, it will be a huge expense and add burden to the family out of thin air. . Therefore, the student requests to withdraw from this exam and continue to work hard in the next session. I hope your permission will be granted."
Although Que is described as destitute, he is able to remain calm in the face of desperate situations.
Especially when it comes to the poverty of the family, there is no trace of embarrassment and inferiority. This free and easy mood is indeed rare.
Yang Fan smiled slightly, stood up, and waved his hand gently:
"A poor person cannot be short-lived in his ambition. Isn't it the accumulation of generations of ancestors that make those aristocratic families seem to be famous and glorious?"
"In this world, there has never been a sudden explosion, let alone a poor family that will sink forever!"
"As long as you maintain this open-mindedness, you will one day be able to stand out and honor your ancestors. I am optimistic about you!"
"As for this exam, it's up to you whether you want to leave or not."
Yang Fan patted the candidates hard on the shoulders twice to encourage them.
Thinking back to his past life, Yang Fan was also a poor boy living in a ravine, his family was destitute, and he was in dire straits!
It is education that allows him to walk out of the mountains...
No matter what the original intention of His Majesty Li Er was in establishing the imperial examination.
It is undeniable that it provides a ladder to heaven for those poor scholars who are full of fighting spirit and ideals and are unwilling to succumb to others.
It enables those poor scholars with perseverance and ability to rely on their own hard work and efforts to change their destiny and bring glory to their family!
In the morning, he is a farmer, and in the evening, he is the emperor's hall!
There is no derogatory connotation in this sentence, but only endless inspiration and miracles!
Most of the candidates waiting in line outside the gate also witnessed this scene.
Many people were shocked by Yang Fan's words, especially those students from poor families!
Yes, there has never been a family that rose up overnight, let alone a poor family that would sink forever!
This sentence simply spoke to their hearts!
Cui Dage felt hot in his heart, and tears immediately burst out...
After calming down his excitement, Cui Dad said loudly: "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for your words, which will never be forgotten by the students! Cui Dad will definitely come out on top in this exam to repay Lord Marquis for his kindness!"
After saying that, he tightened his shirt and followed the official to the examination room.
Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Yang Fan stood there stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Damn, this kid is so shameless, he actually deliberately got married...!"
Seeing Yang Fan say this, everyone suddenly burst into boos...
In full view of everyone, Yang Fan was naturally embarrassed to catch up and kick the bastard to the ground, and then explain clearly...
Yang Fan was extremely depressed and was no longer in the mood to play tricks to gain fame.
With a wave of his hand, all the candidates who passed the gate were searched once and twice. Those found with illegal items were mercilessly expelled, their identities and names were recorded, and they were permanently deprived of the qualifications for the imperial examination.
Fortunately, he ignored Yang Fan's warning and cried and cried after being found out, but it was all to no avail.
Yang Fan had a cold face and was made unhappy by Cui Da. Naturally, he took all his anger out on these candidates.
When expelling a candidate and ushering in the next group of candidates, Yang Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, he pointed at the candidate on the left and said: "Come here, let me search that boy carefully, every item." Search your clothes, every corner, and every place on your body where you can hide something!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to this unlucky candidate. Needless to say, this person must have a grudge against Yang Fan!
The examinee's face turned pale with anger and he protested: "Marquis Zhongyi, why is it that someone else is simply searching their clothes, but a certain person has to be searched all over his body? This is not fair. You are avenging a private vendetta and deliberately targeting me."
Yang Fan put on a leather robe sent by his guards, heated his hands with a hot teapot, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, who dares to target the son of the eldest grandson? As for public revenge... I It’s just a matter of public revenge, what can you do?”
Everyone in the audience was stunned!
I have seen arrogant people, but never seen such arrogant people...
The candidate was naturally Chang Sun Wen, and Yang Fan was almost angry to death when he heard this!
Are you too arrogant to avenge a private vendetta so blatantly?
When he was angry, he naturally did not dare to mess with Yang Fan.
Not to mention this guy's untouchable character, just being deprived of his qualifications for the exam would be fatal!
Thinking about my father's servants at home and his eager eyes hoping that I would get good grades, if I was expelled without even taking the exam, would I be sent to Lingnan by my family?
Changsun Wen took a deep breath and stopped looking at Yang Fan's irritating face. He opened his hands and allowed himself to be searched.
He couldn't help but be secretly proud. As early as he knew that Yang Fan asked for a body search, he had thrown away all the bits and pieces on his body.
Just kidding, this bastard will be damned if he doesn't cause trouble for himself!
as expected……
What a foresight!
Changsun Wen was secretly proud of his decision before the battle. If he had just thought of luck, it would have been a complete tragedy at this moment.
As for what to do with the exams without those cheat sheets, this is no longer something Sun Wen has to consider.
Suffice it to say that Yang Fan deliberately targeted himself during the exam, making him very nervous and failing to meet his standards, so he could naturally talk to his family about it.
And now that so many witnesses are present, they can all confirm that Yang Fan is deliberately targeting him.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wen couldn't help but feel proud instead of being angry.
Mom, we also have luck, it’s a blessing in disguise, haha!
Looking at Yang Fan proudly, Changsun Wen was not afraid at all.
Yang Fan saw the yamen officer groping around Changsun Wen for a long time without any results, and couldn't help but feel suspicious:
Could it be that this kid has real talent and can pass the exam without cheating? Then I've made a mistake...
After pondering for a moment, he glanced at Su Dingfang beside him.
Su Dingfang understood, walked to Changsun Wen, and joined in the search process.
There may be one or two students from poor families in simple clothes, but they are all talented and famous people from all over the world, and their demeanor is also extraordinary.
The gate of the Imperial College was closed tightly. Seeing that it was getting late, more and more candidates gathered outside the gate.
Everyone was worried that if the door opened late, it would delay the exam time, so they started talking secretly.
"What the hell, why aren't you opening the door?"
"That's right, I went in a long time ago!"
"It's estimated that it will take an hour or two to get all the candidates in. I heard they will be searched and checked. How long will it take?"
"Are you still going to be searched?" Some candidates who had prepared cheat sheets asked nervously.
"Of course!"
"I heard that this exam is very strict. You are not even allowed to prepare food yourself. Even paper, pens, ink, and inkstones are all provided by the imperial court. All cheating must be eliminated..."
"If there is someone who has cheat sheets on their body, I advise you to take them out as soon as possible. I heard that if they are found out, they will be reported to the Information Department immediately and they will never be hired!"
Many candidates started to fight with each other and turned pale.
Those who had small notes secretly gave them to the slaves around them...
