Chapter 445: Defending Shi Wending to be beaten

When the little devil saw Shen Yibai running over, he asked in confusion, "What are you and Xinglu doing? Why are you calling my name?"

Shen Yibai laughed and muttered, "It's useless to shout, no one knows you, everyone only knows Qin Ye who ranked first."

Zong Jincheng: “!!”

This is impossible!

Wei Shaoling over there saw that everyone was attacking him, and he knew that his plan had failed. However, he was not worried because the competition in the imperial examination was brutal, and most people here would fail. Once he entered the officialdom, no one would know him!

So he didn't continue arguing, but squeezed out of the crowd, holding up his folding fan to cover his face.

"Didn't you just say with confidence that Qin Ye knows everything? Don't walk away in shame, eh? You call him a great talent, but I think he is just a nobody!"

"A person with such bad moral character has the nerve to teach others to pay more attention to morality when writing policy papers. He is really a model of saying one thing and doing another. It is because there are such people in the court that the officialdom is so corrupt."

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. Only time can reveal a person's true character. The imperial examination can only screen out talents, but it cannot screen out good people from bad ones."

After the students had complained enough, they all turned to Zong Jincheng to thank him: "Thank you for your reminder, young master. Otherwise, we would have been deceived by the vicious Wei Shaoling this year."

"I don't know how to address you, young master? When I saw you arguing with Wei Shaoling just now, you had clear thoughts. You look like a person with profound knowledge and achievements. At least you are a virgin, right?"

Zong Jincheng originally intended to pretend to be a virgin boy, but he was flattered by others, so he just followed Wei Xinglu's reversed identity and started to give a random name: "I am a humble person, Zong Wenxiu."

"A man who was born with erection? You are actually a man who was born with erection? Little brother, you look only in your teens, it's incredible, you were born with erection at such a young age?"

Zong Jincheng raised his head proudly: "Of course, I passed the Tongzilang exam and became a Gongren. I will take the Huiyuanlang exam again this year and pass it!"

"Awesome, awesome!"

Shen Yibai came over and asked unhappily, "Jincheng, shouldn't you report my name?"

Zong Jincheng tilted his head and replied, "I won't report your name. You're the last one. It's embarrassing."

Shen Yibai: “!!!”

This is too much!

Shen Yibai was angry. He asked everyone sweetly, "Hello, brothers. My name is Zong Jincheng. Haven't you heard of my name?"

The students were confused: "No, who are you?"

"Zong Jincheng? His last name is also Zong. Could he be a brother of Zong Wenxiu?"

Shen Yibai added fuel to the fire: "I am the second in Qingbo Academy, a child prodigy second only to Qin Ye, and I also won the Asian Yuan in the autumn examination this year!"

"Oh... the second place after Qin Ye, you have to work harder, little brother. The Autumn Examination is just a provincial examination, and everyone will only pay attention to the first place. But don't be discouraged, there are many people paying attention to the imperial examination. As long as you can pass the exam, you will still be remembered."

"Yes, yes, wait for the exam. Don't compete with Qin Ye. A genius like him is hard to come by in a century. It's good enough for you to make the list at your age. Don't make it too hard on yourself."

Word after word of comfort touched my heart.

The little devil endured it for a moment, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Just wait and see how I beat Qin Ye to a pulp!"

After saying that, he grabbed Shen Yibai and went back to his seat.

The students' voices came from behind: "Work hard, Zong Wenxiu. I think you'll be better than Zong Jincheng next to you. As for Qin Ye, forget it. If you set your goals too high, you'll probably fail."

Zong Wenxiu himself, who was suddenly encouraged, said: "?"

He felt that he could not pass his younger brother in the exam, and he had no plan to pass Qin Ye.

"Pfft...Hahaha..." Shen Yibai burst out laughing, "Jincheng, did you hear that? They said you can only beat me in the test, not Qin Ye."

The little devil gnashed his teeth and said, "Shut up, you idiot."

"No, no, who told you to say I was last? I'm clearly 50th!"

"I'm going to fight you!" The little devil rushed over and fought with him.

After a while, Shen Yibai, with his messy hair, suddenly shouted: "Remember this, everyone, this year's champion will definitely be Zong Jincheng! Zong Jincheng is invincible! Zong Jincheng is the strongest! Zong Jincheng is the best in the world!"

The students looked at his face that had just been beaten, sighed, and continued discussing the policy essay questions.

Little Devil: “…” Suddenly I wanted to reveal my identity.

Next time I will never pretend to be someone else.

It’s not fun at all, huh╯^╰!

Fortunately, after this farce, the library returned to its normal discussion state. The students did not hide their opinions as imagined, but discussed the policy viewpoints seriously.

"The holy books teach us: Sympathizing with the weak is kindness, and liking the strong is to cling to the powerful. But I think otherwise. Brothers, please think about it: If the weak are the enemy countries that bully us, will we still sympathize with them? If the strong are our relatives, will we still despise them?"

"Brother Gong's words make sense, which is why we need to read the books of sages thoroughly. We cannot characterize all people or things based on a single sentence. We need to analyze specific cases."

…

The seven young boys all listened attentively.

Although "Qin Ye" was here to keep order, in the eyes of the students there, this was just a table of children. They were discussing enthusiastically among themselves and didn't bother to talk to Qin Ye.

The library is busier than the teahouse.

They talked about everything from books of sages to policy directions and recent political affairs, analyzing the current situation in the officialdom. Some shared how their own high-ranking officials in other provinces did their work, and some talked about the current situation of high-ranking officials in Beijing.

Finally, someone suddenly said mysteriously, "Did you hear? The Left Chief of the Censorate was caned by the Emperor again yesterday!"

“…”

The boys all turned their eyes to Weixing Road.

The son of the person involved is sitting here.

The students there were still saying, "I heard that this Zuodu Shi was caned by the emperor for the second time after taking office. Why does he always make mistakes?"

Wei Xinglu covered his head with one hand and silently corrected himself: "This is the third time, okay..."

On average, I get beaten once every two months.

Every time he performs steadily, he will receive fifty strokes of the stick.

It just so happened that his biological father, Yu Shi, had a stubborn and aggressive temper. After being beaten by the emperor, he became even more angry. His fighting power became stronger and stronger, and he got up and started to fight.

After participating in this, participate in that.

The Qing Dynasty's outline cannot be delayed.

The rumors among the people have become like this: "Who knows? Maybe he is a bad official, otherwise why would he be beaten so often? I think the emperor is almost fed up with him. It is said that he will not let it go so easily next time."
