However, just when Yang Fan was thinking about whom to cut, the name of Donglin Academy had already spread to many people's ears.
After all, one family is happy and the other is sad.
Yang Fan's Donglin Academy had a good start, almost reaching half of the terrifying pass rate, so the rest of the place was naturally wailing.
He was directly rolled into a dishdog.
In the Xu family private school, an old Juren with a gray beard, wearing a long robe, and a literary temperament stood up suddenly, his whole body trembling with anger.
"What, you haven't even passed the Tongsheng Examination?"
He stared at the dozen or so children in the classroom with an extremely ugly look on his face.
The old man's name was Song Yang, and he was a teacher hired by the Xu family at a huge expense.
Because he lost his wife in his early years, he often lived in Xu's mansion.
Delicious food and drinks are served all year round.
Every now and then, a beautiful maid would come to warm him up, an old bachelor, and his life was going quite smoothly.
Naturally, the Xu family treated him like this not because they wanted to have a father above their heads and to voluntarily be the scapegoat, but because they wanted him to do their best to cultivate the new generation of the Xu family.
The Xu family is a merchant family. Mr. Xu sincerely hopes that the family will become a scholarly family, and no matter what happens, he will let his children obtain fame.
Only fame can be passed down from generation to generation!
Money is, after all, something external to oneself.
Fortunately, none of the dozen or so children in this wave passed the exam, and they were all wiped out.
When the time came for the Xu family to blame him, Song Yang felt that he couldn't afford it, so it was strange that his face looked good!
"You, you are simply the worst class I have ever led!"
Song Yang had a dark face, pointed at everyone in the school, and said with an angry look.
The person below said unconvinced: "That's what you taught me, sir!"
"Xu Xiaoliu! Don't think that I can't see you if you are hiding behind! What are you whispering secretly! I'm not old enough to be deaf or blinded yet!"
Song Yang glared at a child behind the crowd and said angrily.
After venting for a while, he finally calmed down and asked.
"Come on, what's going on?"
"Based on your usual level, even if the number of children admitted to the examination is limited, you can pass at least three or five. If you are not lucky, you can pass one. How can you not win any of them?"
Finally, one child had the courage to explain the situation.
"Is such that……"
A group of children also followed suit.
After learning the details, Song Yang didn't believe it: "How is it possible! An academy that came out of nowhere has passed so many people?"
"Sir, it's true."
"Moreover, the son of the blacksmith family not far from our house is also studying in that academy, and he passed this time..."
"And the second donkey from the grocery store!"
"The two dogs from the cart pulling family..."
Seeing them getting more and more outrageous, Song Yang interrupted them directly: "Okay, stop talking, I will investigate this matter myself!"
After that, he left the private school directly and went to the government office.
As soon as he reached the halfway point, he saw many familiar faces. They were teachers from many wealthy households nearby, or teachers from local private schools.
"Old Song, are you also going to the government?"
Someone took the initiative to say hello.
"Uh, what, are you going too?"
Song Yang's heart sank.
"Of course, I was supposed to be a sure winner in the exam, but I failed! I have to go and ask for an explanation today!"
"It's similar over there. There were about fifty people taking the exam, and only one of them got a good grade. This kind of result is just a slap in my face!"
Everyone spoke with indignation.
Among them, the name Donglin Academy was naturally mentioned.
After everyone put their pieces together, they suddenly discovered that this academy actually recruited a group of students with low-level household registrations, and many of them had actually passed the childbirth examination!
"There must be something fishy here!"
"They must have cheated!"
A group of people said through gritted teeth.
Of course, there were some poor families mixed in among them, and they hated them even more.
The fame that I had always held in my hands has just gone away like this. It’s like my uncle can tolerate it and my aunt can’t!
"Let's go to the government and ask for an explanation! If they don't change the results of this childbirth test, I will die in the government hall today!"
Soon, a group of people arrived at the government office.
These people were either older or had great fame. For a while, even the guards did not dare to stop them, and they were forced into the lobby.
"Nonsense! What do you want to do? Break into the lobby. Do you want to rebel?"
Originally, the governor was drinking tea in the back hall with the admiral Xuezheng sent from above. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden chaos in front, and the servants quickly invited him out.
As soon as he came out, he shouted directly.
The "rebel" hat was thrown out, instantly calming the scene.
After all, few people dare to bear the name of rebellion.
"Sir, we were wronged!"
The knees of these rotten literati have never been very stable, so the words they shouted about being knocked to death in front of the hall were like farting, and they fell to their knees.
Soon, Fu Yin learned the ins and outs of the matter. When he heard that it was related to the Tongsheng Examination, he immediately invited the academic administrator out of the back hall.
"The test results are fine."
Xuezheng said calmly.
"Impossible! How could they, an academy that came out of nowhere, pass so many people!"
"That's right, look at the students there. They are either from farmers or from lowly households. Are they qualified to pass the childbirth examination? I don't believe it!"
"There must be something wrong, most likely the question is leaked..."
boom!
As soon as the last words came out, Xuezheng's face immediately darkened, his eyes swept over their faces with a sinister look, and he said in a cold voice: "You mean, I am leaking the question?"
"Don't dare!"
Everyone's hearts trembled.
"Don't tell me what can and cannot be said, you don't know clearly!"
The academic administrator's cold eyes swept over everyone: "The results of the exam are like this, there are no problems! If the students you teach are not good, you can't blame others!"
"Stop acting like a fool in front of me, get out of here!"
Xuezheng reprimanded.
A group of people who had entered the lobby on the strength of their fame were all cowed and retreated in dejection.
After all, academic administration is qualified to destroy their reputation.
"What a bunch of old thieves!"
Xuezheng looked at their backs and couldn't help but said coldly.
"Why bother getting angry over these idiots!"
Fu Yin smiled and comforted him, then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, what is Donglin Academy that is so scary, with almost half of the pass rate?"
"Yes, I have read all the papers of those students. They all have a solid foundation and have been trained many times. I don't know how they were taught in that academy!"
The scholar nodded and said affirmatively: "With a little more polishing in a year or two, I'm afraid even those who won the exam will have some hope, not to mention scholars."
"hiss!"
As soon as these words came out, even Fu Yin took a breath of air when he heard them.
If you lift a person, you are already a master.
"This Donglin Academy looks really extraordinary!"
Fu Yin immediately became interested.
Even though he is a governor, his children may not be able to continue to be officials. They still have to take the imperial examination. If they can be sent to Donglin Academy, wouldn't there be great hope?
Don’t be afraid of spending some money, being able to win is better than anything else.
Xuezheng saw his thoughts at a glance and whispered: "I heard that the academy seems to be related to Marquis Xuanwei, one of the princes of the town..."
