It only took one day for the news of Ying Changge's generous rewards for the top 25 in the scientific examination to spread throughout Daqin, and even other dynasties in the Kyushu mainland had heard about it.

It's just that there is one more thing that has spread throughout Daqin.

On the day of the county examination, the crown prince massacred nearly a hundred Confucian scholars. Nowadays, scholars all over the world are a little excited.

Moreover, more and more people began to suspect that this test question was aimed at Confucianism.

"His Royal Highness!" Zhang Han hurried in from outside the residence.

Looking at Zhang Han's appearance, Ying Changge was a little curious: "Why does General Zhang look so flustered?"

"His Royal Highness, I don't know who instigated it. Nowadays, hundreds of candidates who failed the county examination went to the gate of Daqin College, and they all yelled that our examiners cheated, and that students like them who had Confucianism in their hearts were ignored. In the eyes!" Zhang Han said.

Although he didn't know what it meant, he could probably understand why he came here.

Hearing this, Ying Changge's eyes turned cold.

Unexpectedly, someone started to jump out to disturb the order.

"By the way, His Royal Highness, there is one more thing. I don't know who spread the rumors, saying that the few people we have just appointed in the court are all pre-appointed by His Royal Highness, including women entering the court!"

"Now all kinds of comments are starting to come out!" Zhang Han worried.

Although he is a general, he also understands that this kind of public opinion atmosphere is extremely unfavorable to Ying Changge.

And if Ying Changge cannot give a reasonable statement, I am afraid that Ying Changge will be impeached, and the imperial examination system just held will be overthrown in an instant.

At that time, everything that Ying Changge did will be reduced to nothing.

And once Ying Changge reaches this scene, the future of Ying Changge may be extremely slim.

But Ying Changge didn't speak, but gently put down the book in his hand.

"General Zhang, on the battlefield, if you were going to let them go, so you no longer want to entangle with the enemy, but the enemy is still provocative, what would you do?" Ying Changge asked with a smile.

Zhang Han's face turned serious: "There is no emotion on the battlefield. Strong is strong, and weak is weak. If I am stronger than him, I will not let them go. We must eradicate the roots!"

"Then what do you think I should do?" Hearing this, Ying Changge looked at Zhang Han with a smile.

Zhang Han was taken aback for a moment.

……

"You have to give us an explanation. There are so many of us. I don't believe that so many of us are not capable enough!"

"Either let us read the test paper, or let Fengchang come out and give us an explanation!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Seeing these Confucian scholars who are getting louder and louder in front of them, the guards all have a headache.

With so many people, they dare not move without the order from above.

"Either get out now, or take responsibility for what happens!" A cold female voice sounded.

Lu Zhi, who was wearing an official uniform, got off a carriage that was coming.

Seeing Lu's pheasant appear, someone booed immediately.

"Lu Zhi, you were just lucky enough to use your beauty to win the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince. If it weren't for your skin, do you really think that you, a woman, can get into the palace?"

"In the past, I actually thought you were really a talented woman!"

"Hmph, you are just lucky, and now you are proud here, do you deserve it?!"

"..."

Hearing some unbearable insults from the crowd, even Lu Zhi's heart turned pale.

"Enough!" Lu Zhi shouted angrily.

"If you have any opinions on the imperial examination, you can directly write to His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince, please announce the policies and opinions of all candidates!"

"Hmph, how dare a group of men dare to yell and scold at the gate of the college like street shrews?"

Hearing Lu Zhi's angry scolding, everyone was silent for a moment.

"Hmph, abolish the imperial examination system and restore the nomination system!"

"Corrupting ink and cheating in imperial examinations is a way to harm the country. Restore the recommendation system!"

"Abolish the imperial examination system!"

"..."

Suddenly, several sporadic voices sounded in the crowd.

In this way, the mood of the crowd was mobilized again, and they started shouting again.

"presumptuous!"

A thick voice sounded.

Zhang Han led two teams of guards, and it didn't take long to surround everyone in it.

"Why, is the prince going to kill someone in front of the academy again?!"

"Hmph, go against the grain, even if you kill us, the next group of disciples will accuse you of your crimes!"

"If we don't give us justice, we will never give up!"

"..."

Someone yelled a few more times, and everyone who was a little scared because of the spear suddenly regained their confidence.

Zhang Han came to Lu Zhi's side and bowed slightly: "See Tai Bu!"

"General Zhang, what does His Royal Highness say?"

Zhang Han raised his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "His Royal Highness said, to cut the grass, we must get rid of the roots."

"His Royal Highness, you mean here?" Lu Zhi's complexion changed.

If all these people are killed here, the effect may not be very good.

Zhang Han shook his head: "Lead them into the palace."

Lu Zhi's heart also trembled.

Zhang Han turned around: "Everyone be quiet!"

As the voice gradually weakened, Zhang Han continued to speak: "His Royal Highness learned about this, and specially ordered me to come here to invite you into the palace. At that time, His Royal Highness will definitely give you a reasonable reason!"

……

Outside the Xianyang Palace.

Many Confucian scholars have gathered here.

I don't know when it started, the mainstream voice in the crowd has become the abolition of the imperial examination.

"General Zhang, where is the prince?"

"Yeah, you let us come here, but we haven't seen where the prince is!"

"You are not deceiving us, are you?"

"..."

someone asked.

But Zhang Han just smiled mysteriously, and brought Lu Zhi to the side.

All the black-armored soldiers spread out and stood around the area.

Invisibly, those Confucian scholars were surrounded in the center.

After a long time, when the quarrel among those Confucian scholars became louder, the gate of Xianyang Palace opened slowly with a creak.

Behind the heavy palace gate, rows of soldiers stood neatly.

At the front, Ying Changge was wearing a dark black robe. Behind him, Li Si, Xiao He, Wang Jian, and Wang Ben lined up on the left and right.

As Ying Changge came out, the black-armored soldiers behind him also walked out in neat steps.

The Confucian scholars outside had never seen such a scene before, but when they heard the orderly footsteps of the soldiers, their complexions turned pale in an instant.

"Look at the top!" Someone said in horror.

Everyone looked up, only to find that on the wall of the Xianyang Palace, a soldier had stood up at some point, holding a big bow and arrow in his hand!

Ying Changge came under the city wall, staring at the Confucian scholars in front of him with indifferent expressions.

In front of the noisy Xianyang Palace, it became extremely quiet for a while.

Many Confucian scholars' legs were trembling. If it weren't for the crowd around them, they might have collapsed to the ground.

"It's a pleasure to see you all here."

Ying Changge opened his hands and smiled.

"I just heard that you seem to have a lot of dissatisfaction with me?"

"Tsk, I also feel deeply painful when I hear the news. Maybe, what I did is really bad."

"So, I will set up another examination room in front of Xianyang Palace. As long as you can answer my questions, I can immediately order you to enter the court as a prince."

"However, if you can't answer..."

Ying Changge's eyes were full of coldness: "Then don't blame the prince for being ruthless."
