"Your Highness Ninth!" Cui Guangyun called out to Li Chen after leaving the imperial city.

Li Chen opened the curtain and looked at him with a frown.

Cui Guangyun's face seemed to be covered with a deep and heavy gray, "Your Highness, do you really want to be an enemy of my family? I heard that you and Cui Hao, a direct descendant of the Cui family, have a life-and-death friendship, so why do you need to be aggressive?"

Li Chen shook his head and said: "Master Cui, don't you understand? I have never wanted to be your enemy, and now the imperial examination will not involve my relationship with Cui Hao."

Cui Guangyun was slightly startled, "Then why do you target our family like this?"

Li Chen just asked: "Have I ever targeted anyone? The imperial examination is for people all over the world. Whoever is more talented and learned should be on the list. Apart from setting up a college, do you think I have ever interfered with various matters related to the imperial examination?"

Cui Guangyun's expression gradually changed as he listened to Li Yun's words. Finally, he turned cold and asked angrily and mockingly: "Does your Highness believe it?"

Li Chen looked at him quietly, listening to his increasingly louder voice, watching him waving his hands and pointing at the empty street, as if poking the noses of those poor disciples, "Your Highness! Those people have never heard of me in their lives.

The real classics of the Holy Dynasty, relying on a few enlightenment books, and looking at those unofficial histories or fragments circulated among the people, do you really think they can be compared with our nephews at home?"

As he spoke, he became more and more angry, as if he was angrily denounced the unfairness of this imperial examination, as if he wanted to tear up the test papers of those poor children, "Our nephew was born with the thousands of years of classics of the clan,

You can read the knowledge of countless sages in the past at any time, how can those people compare?"

Listening to these impassioned words, Li Chen suddenly understood the anger of the minister in front of him. He remembered that since the academy was opened, those students from poor backgrounds had spent all day and night forgetting to eat and sleep, even destroying their bodies and risking their lives to study. Li Chen's heart suddenly burst out.

Ten times more angry than Cui Guangyun.

He said: "It turns out that you are unwilling to admit that you will lose at the hands of these poor people."

Cui Guangyun's generosity came to an abrupt end, and the cynicism that was about to freeze on his face finally thawed. He said: "I know that after His Highness opened the academy, he stuffed most of the classics of the Holy Dynasty into it, but you should

You know, compared to decades of immersion in the atmosphere, those scholars only watched it for two months, what are they?"

"Haha." Li Chen suddenly laughed, and the ridicule in his heart at this moment was much deeper than that of the servant from the Cui family.

Cui Guangyun didn't know the reason why the Ninth Prince in front of him suddenly laughed, but he could feel Li Chen's emotions, especially the disdain in his laughter. He frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Li Chen smiled and said: "Actually, you are right. Compared with the accumulation of thousands of years of your family, the personal efforts of these poor scholars are indeed nothing. However, some of your nephews spend days and nights just to read.

Reluctant to fall asleep? Is there anyone out there who, smelling the fragrance of books, is as hungry and thirsty as if he is about to starve to death?"

Cui Guangyun remained silent, but he didn't understand why Li Chen suddenly mentioned this.

Li Chen continued: "Just because you were born with this, of course you have never experienced it, and you don't even understand what I just said. But my students have all come out of the mud, and they all live in poor families and eat every day.

Poor people who have to spare five cents to buy half a volume of books. Of course you will not understand that on the day when he entered the academy, the top scholar in the imperial examination, he held many classics with tears in his eyes and asked his classmates: If there is anything in the future,

How can you live without seeing these classics for a day?"

Li Chen imitated Guan Fou's accent very much. It was an accent from a town forty miles outside Kyoto. In the words of the inner city of Kyoto: Ouch, this is just a broken village——

But Li Chen studied seriously and looked at Cui Guangyun seriously, "My students are holding books and looking at the classics that you usually have at your fingertips day and night. Guan Fou lost 20 pounds in two months, and he has steamed buns and classics.

, laughed and said that body is not as important as knowledge. So, Mr. Cui, where is the nephew you just mentioned?"

Cui Guangyun was speechless, but still angry.

Li Chen pointed to the long street outside the imperial city, "The nephews of the aristocratic family pride themselves on elegance. They play songs every night and are accompanied by beautiful women on boats. Just because they are born to be aloof and have half of their feet on the threshold of the temple, there are very few people.

Really take the classics into consideration. As I said just now, I never thought about favoring anyone in the face of knowledge. I just gave them a chance to look at those books, but it took them a few months to defeat them.

You and your nephews have been immersed in this for ten years. This is your problem, not theirs. Mr. Cui, you did not lose unjustly."

After saying that he had not lost unjustly, Li Chen threw off his long sleeves and strolled out of the long street, heading towards the academy outside the city.

On the long street, Cui Guangyun looked at his back and snorted after a while, "I don't know what to say!"

In the academy, the students who had been waiting for several hours looked eagerly. When they saw Li Chen's figure, they hurriedly gathered around, "Your Highness!"

"teacher!"

Li Chen looked at the extremely young faces in front of him, bowed deeply and said, "I am ashamed of you all."

The students couldn't hide their disappointment, and Guan Mou's tears almost hung in his eyes. Years of hope and hard work these days were about to come to nothing, but they still trembled in a low voice: "Your Highness is not like this -"

Li Chen said: "Those scumbags said that this imperial examination is invalid and that there will be another exam in three days. This time, I and the Four Realms practitioners from various aristocratic families will take the exam to prevent anyone from cheating."

There was a moment of silence, but soon there was cheering again!

Guan Fou's face showed the spirit of a young man again. He put his arms around the shoulders of his classmates and said excitedly: "It turns out that I am taking the exam again. I am relying on my real talent and practical knowledge. So what if I take the exam ten times and a hundred times? I

If you win the first prize once, you can win ten times a hundred times! Test them to convince them!"
