Wu Hai, Fang Yingwu, Tang Yan and others agreed with Song Chi to visit a brothel together on a certain day.

These people were somewhat frightened. They were just ordinary students, while Song Chi had already begun to get involved in the court struggle. No, he had already been involved.

The Jinyiwei leader just said it very clearly that Song Chi was the one who committed the crime against the Han family.

This is really scary.

"My sister said she will treat you to a banquet at Cuiweiju tomorrow night." Gu Ronghua took the opportunity to make an appointment with Song Chi.

“I don’t necessarily have the time.”

Song Chi said truthfully that with the outbreak of the Jixian incident he would also become the target of public criticism. Originally he was hiding behind the scenes, but now he was put in the spotlight. The Jinyiwei who had just arrested Han Yuanzheng knew that it was him who did it.

I don’t know which link has the problem.

The most important thing now is intelligence. Song Chi has asked Lao Mo to start building it, but this takes time.

If we can’t deal with problems when they arise, we will be too passive.

It seems I have to go look for the quadruplets, Song Chi thought.

Others looked surprised. In the eyes of many people, Miss Gu Rongsan of the Gu family was a goddess-level figure. Talented men like them couldn't even meet her if they wanted to. But now she took the initiative to ask Song Chi out, but Song Chi actually refused.

"Okay, I'll talk to my sister." Gu Ronghua didn't say anything.

At this time, Liu Feng, who was standing beside him, said, "In half a month, the academy examination will be held twice every three years. If you fail the examination, you will be expelled from the academy."

"Don't question me. I'm the academy supervisor. I have the right."

Liu Feng had no expression on his face, just like a strict principal in school. If you can't get first place in the class in this exam, get out of here.

But that was just an incentive, Liu Feng was purely evil.

He can indeed do so without worrying about the consequences.

Song Chidan asked, "Supervisor Liu, you really spared no effort to get me out of Nandu Academy."

Liu Feng could not deny it.

The Han family's trouble was caused by Song Chi. He didn't know the specific inside story yet, but Master Ming had already told the Prime Minister's attitude when he came to Jiangzhou. This kid offended Master Ming so much that he will definitely become a thorn in the Prime Minister's side.

The closer we get to this point, the more we cannot retreat and must spare no effort.

Only in this way can one gain the appreciation of the Prime Minister and enter the officialdom.

There is nothing wrong with teaching and educating people, but the officialdom is more open and open. For this goal, he was willing to take the risk of tarnishing his reputation by targeting Song Chi.

"You wanted to kick me out of Nandu Academy, but I insisted on staying. You all thought it was impossible for me to win the first place in the literary competition, but I did it."

Song Chi said calmly, "I'm going to make this clear today. Not only will I pass the academy exam, I'm going to pass the provincial exam as well... Everyone knows you're ostracizing me. The more outstanding I become, the more I'll slap you in the face!"

"Don't think that just because you have talent and literary fame, you can become arrogant. The Great Zhou is full of talented people, and the last thing they lack is talented people."

"Am I arrogant and insolent?"

Song Chi laughed, "Aren't you guys going too far? Stop talking nonsense and wait and see how I pass the college entrance examination."

"When you pass the college entrance examination, I will congratulate you in person." Liu Feng left expressionlessly and turned around with a gloomy face.

"Brother Song, I'm afraid your college entrance examination is going to be difficult."

Several people gathered around.

Wu Hai leaned in closer and whispered, "I heard that Song Ming has already announced that you will not be allowed to pass the academy exam, and as for the provincial exam, you can forget about it."

"The imperial examinations have been chaotic since ancient times, and it has become even more so since the rise of the Prime Minister. If you don't write plum poems or join the literary party, no matter how talented you are, it will be of no use."

Tang Yan echoed, "So-called talented scholars are just tools in the eyes of those in power. If they want to use you, you are a human being. If they don't, you are worse than a dog."

Song Chi was a little surprised that his new disciple was an angry young man.

No wonder he dared to approach me without any hesitation.

Fang Yingwu, Wu Hai and others looked strange. They all knew some inside information. Among the four great talents of the same period as Hao Yongzhen, only he was still alive. The other three were dead.

They did not die of natural causes. One of them was caught and imprisoned by the government for committing a crime. It was said that he was gang-raped to death by the prisoners in the prison because of his outstanding appearance.

Another person went crazy and became a beggar from a talented man, and froze to death in the winter. Another person suddenly fell seriously ill.

To date, only Hao Yongzhen is still alive.

This is certainly not a coincidence, it’s just that many inside information is simply not accessible to ordinary people.

Tang Yan should have known something before he said this.

If the superior uses you, you are a talent; if the superior doesn’t use you, you are not even a dog.

Fame and talent are important, but in the final analysis it is power and status that matter.

Your unattainable courtesan might be enjoying the pleasure of some important man at night. This is reality.

“My favorite thing to do is make the impossible possible.”

Song Chi looked at Li Yi and said, "Spread the word now that the Donglin Society is recruiting new members. I just won the first prize, so I have some influence. You must make it clear that you are joining the Donglin Society only to appreciate poetry and prose together, and nothing else, to dispel others' concerns."

"clear."

Li Yiying was decisive because he knew that the Donglin Society was about to rise.

Song Chigang won the first place and his poems were widely circulated. With his appeal, he will surely attract many members.

"Also...if there are candidates taking the entrance exam to Donglin Academy, I can provide free tutoring and make up for their studies. I guarantee they'll pass."

When Song Chi finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Can you pass the college entrance examination with free tutoring? That's just a fantasy.

The Academy Examination was held twice every three years and was a very important stage in the imperial examination. Passing the Academy Examination would give one the status of a scholar, which meant that one no longer had to kneel as an official, could be exempted from corvee labor, and achieve a real class leap.
