Chapter 595
Over the next few days.
Li Er and Fang Xuanling went to the outside of the Dongmen early every morning.
What shocked him was that as the day of the imperial examination approached, the number of scholars entering the city every day continued to increase rapidly.
This is impossible!
Li Er had always felt that Great Tang had placed so many scholars from humble backgrounds under house arrest at the Bai Ludong Academy.
There shouldn't be many people left in the world who could still go to participate in Great Qin's imperial examination.
But the facts slapped him hard in the face.
Not only were there, but there were even more than the number of people who had participated in Great Tang's imperial examination before!
How could it be like this?
"Xuanling, did you see that? Did I see it wrong?"
Fang Xuanling's expression was grave.
He spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"Old Li, you didn't see it wrong, the scholars have all come. And among them, there are even the scholars from humble backgrounds who were under house arrest at the Bai Ludong Academy!
I have already seen several scholars who are somewhat famous in Great Tang."
Li Er felt his brain was not enough.
"Under house arrest at the Bai Ludong Academy, how did they get out?
Could it be that someone is rebelling again?"
A sense of foreboding rose in Li Er's heart.
It couldn't be that bad, could it?
Just after leaving Great Tang, someone is rebelling again?
And who else could rebel?
Li Tai, or Li Ke?
The scholars over there preparing to enter the city had already formed a long line.
Two people noticed Fang Xuanling watching from the side.
They approached.
"Minister Fang, what a coincidence, why do you have the interest to watch the scenery here?"
Watch what kind of scenery?
Apart from people, there are only people here, which eye of yours saw any scenery?
Fang Xuanling's heart was also very anxious and irritated.
But he restrained his emotions and did not curse out loud.
"You recognize me? Who are you?"
Those few scholars bowed to Fang Xuanling one after another.
They recognized Fang Xuanling, but they did not recognize Li Er.
One of them spoke up.
"I am of the younger generation of the Lu clan, and these few behind me are all descendants of the Pei clan."
This sentence shocked Fang Xuanling greatly.
Looking at Li Er again, his complexion was already very wrong.
Fang Xuanling's wife was precisely from the Fan Yanglu clan.
The scholar in front of him, speaking of it, even had some distant relative relationship with him.
Fang Xuanling's expression became stern, and he reprimanded.
"You are all descendants of Great Tang's aristocratic families, how could you run to Great Qin to participate in the imperial examination? Are you all collectively betraying the country?"
The scholar looked left and right.
"Minister Fang, please move to a place without people to talk."
The people lining up outside the Dongmen were bustling, and there were many eyes and ears.
After going to a slightly secluded place, the man explained.
"Minister Fang, this is the family's order. Let us come to Great Qin to be officials and act as spies. If we make great contributions in the future, there will be heavy rewards when we return to the family." There was no need to mention the other few from the Pei clan.
Because Pei Ji was toppled, the Pei clan no longer had a backbone. It is estimated that they also wanted to make contributions for Great Tang to restore the family's past glory.
So that's how it is!
Fang Xuanling nodded suddenly.
This could also be considered a way.
Although it seemed a bit lowly and despicable, Great Tang was already at a disadvantage and had no other choices.
Upon hearing this, Li Er realized that these scholars were here to enter the tiger's den and act as spies for Great Tang.
He was suddenly a bit moved.
Although the aristocratic families made Li Er, the Emperor, very difficult in many aspects.
But in times of crisis, they stood up and performed such righteous deeds.
One cannot help but be moved.
"You few are all good. This time, strive to achieve good results and be highly valued in Great Qin,
and return to bring honor to your ancestors!"
Several people were encouraged.
"Two lords, rest assured. Compared to those mud-legged people of Great Qin, we are like cranes among chickens, and we will definitely be highly valued!"
Li Er suddenly remembered the previous question.
"You few, when you came, was Jin Ling still okay? Was there any unusual movement?"
The man thought for a moment and said.
"There is no unusual movement, everything is as usual. Oh, it's just heard that several great Confucian scholars at the Bai Ludong Academy were beaten by the students!"
"What happened?"
