Chapter 172 Provoking the Imperial College Students
He slapped Bu Yuqi directly in the face.
It was just a loss of a game. The two brothers would have to stay in the Imperial College in the future. What Bu Yujie said slapped the face of the Imperial College teacher and was equivalent to planting a thorn in the hearts of all the teachers.
In the future, they will be on guard against their brothers, so how can they teach them wholeheartedly?
When Bu Yuqi's words spread, the students of the Imperial College and the officials of the aristocratic families outside said that the people of the Bu family did not know the rules and had forgotten to respect their teachers.
Bu Yuxuan scolded Bu Yuji harshly: "Apologize to the teacher."
Bu Yuji was very dissatisfied, but he still listened to Bu Yuxuan's words and apologized respectfully to the teachers. However, as soon as he said that, the teachers' faces turned ugly.
After hearing Bu Yujie's apology, there was no big change on his face. Even Master Ouyang, who was very supportive of the two young masters of the Bu family, had his mouth twitching.
In order to regain the dignity that Bu Yuqi had lost, Bu Yuxuan could only bow to Zhai Yun and say, "This young master lost. This young master is willing to keep his promise and stay at home until the competition."
Although Bu Yuqi was very dissatisfied, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
When the other teachers saw Bu Yuxuan's pious attitude, their expressions softened. They all thought to themselves that he was worthy of being a role model of the academy, who was neither arrogant when he won nor discouraged when he lost, and who could bend and stretch.
Bu Yuxuan and Bu Yuji left in disgrace. As they exited the hospital, Bu Yuji was very unwilling to give in: "Brother, why should we be afraid of him? Why not just make him disappear? If we go home defeated like this, where will we save our face in the future?"
After hearing what Bu Yuqi said, Bu Yuxuan was also dissatisfied. He looked back at the gate of the academy with hatred in his eyes. "This Yu Yun came with bad intentions. We underestimated him."
Bu Yuxuan now doesn't believe that Yu Yun is just a country bumpkin. Yu Yun has been provoking everyone in the academy since he entered it, and he even went so far as to offend them. It is too coincidental that he appears at this time.
Bu Yuji pondered Bu Yuxuan's words carefully, and suddenly thought of something, "How do you think he got into the Imperial College? If he was really a country bumpkin, he probably wouldn't even be able to find the door of the Imperial College. And he came at this time, could it be..."
As Bu Yuji thought about it, her expression suddenly turned grim. She asked Bu Yuxuan in disbelief, "Could he be one of Prince Rui Feng Chenyi's men? Is he here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Bu Yuxuan looked at Bu Yujie, who was smart for once, and smiled contemptuously. This smile made Bu Yujie realize that he had guessed right.
Bu Yuji's face turned pale in an instant: "It's over, it's over, we've fallen into a trap! What should we do? King Rui's men have driven us back home. We've messed up what my aunt asked us to do!"
Bu Yuji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, while Bu Yuxuan looked very calm. "Yu Yun is too naive. Does he think he can do whatever he wants just by confining us to our homes? The Imperial College is full of our people. Even if they are not in the academy, they are all our spies there. He can't escape from my aunt's control!"
After Bu Yuxuan's reminder, Bu Yuji knew what to do next and a smile immediately spread across his face. "Brother, don't worry. I'll make arrangements right away and make sure to keep a close eye on Yu Yun's every move."
Bu Yuxuan and Bu Yujie left. Seeing that everything was fine, the other teachers helped Master Qin leave. Before leaving, Master Qin gave Zhai Yun a meaningful look.
Bu Yuxuan, Bu Yujie and the two little bullies left. Some students in the Imperial College felt lost, while others felt relieved. They looked at Zhai Yun with mixed eyes.
Although the Imperial College had already judged the best candidates for each of the six arts, Zhai Yun herself felt that it was still necessary to hold a competition within the Imperial College first.
In order for these people to show their true strength, there must be something to attract them to fight.
Zhai Yun looked at the crowd gradually dispersing, and suddenly laughed with extreme joy, saying as she laughed: "Great! I defeated the most outstanding student in the Imperial College. My career in the government is in sight. I can finally hold my head high and serve my country!"
The students who were gradually dispersing from the Imperial College were attracted by Zhai Yun's voice that was so happy that she lost her composure. The departing students slowly gathered together again because they heard the words "a career in the officialdom is in sight"?
They study hard here just to pass the imperial examinations. The prospect of a career in officialdom is a fatal attraction for each of them.
Some students couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by a career in sight? Yuyun, are you too happy? How can a career in sight be achieved just because you beat Mr. Bu?"
Zhai Yun pretended not to know that so many people had gathered around him. He came back to his senses from his excessive excitement, looked at the students surrounding him, and pretended to be frightened.
Then he said timidly, "If Fengli Country wins the contest between the two countries, the students who represent Fengli Country will be rewarded. King Rui will recommend these pillars of the country to serve in the court. Don't you know that?"
The students were stunned when they heard what Zhai Yun said. Recommending someone for an official position was a great thing!
"He's talking nonsense! Don't listen to him. Prince Rui is not popular in the court. Emperor Xing'an dislikes his son the most. He abandoned him at the border and ignored him for more than ten years. As soon as he came back, he started to confront Emperor Xing'an. The officials he recommended will only be despised!" A student shouted righteously in the crowd.
Feng Chenyi's reputation in Fengli Country is indeed not very good. Even ordinary people who never leave their homes should have heard of him. What this student said makes sense.
As soon as he said this, the slight interest that had just been aroused in all the students of the Imperial College was instantly extinguished.
Looking at the students about to leave, Zhai Yun said nonchalantly, "Go ahead! You're a bunch of idiots! The people selected this time represent the entire Fengli Kingdom. If they win, they will also win the reputation of the entire Fengli Kingdom, and even more so, the reputation of Emperor Xing'an. The heroes selected this time are the heroes of the entire Fengli Kingdom, and everyone can see it. Feng Chenyi's recommendation is just a matter of convenience!"
At such a time when the whole country was celebrating, Emperor Xing'an would not refuse such a proposal.
The students who had walked a few steps away stopped one after another. Some of them had already turned back, while those who had not returned stopped where they were and began to think carefully.
Yes, when two countries compete with each other, winning means winning the face of one country and the monarch. As long as you win, an official will give you a slight recommendation and give the meritorious official a position, which is just a matter of course.
Some smart students were the first to react, "I want to participate in the competition!"
All of a sudden, the students of the Imperial College rushed to participate, "I, I want to participate in the competition."
The Imperial College was suddenly in an uproar, with voices rising and falling and arguments going on. They were all vying to join the war and become the hero, taking on the responsibility!
Everyone in the Imperial College wants to go there.
