The next day, Lu Zhi reported that after the re-examination notice was issued yesterday, only less than 2,000 people came to register for the exam. Compared with the huge number of students in the Imperial Academy, it was extremely small.

"These scholars really don't know how to advance and retreat. His Majesty has given them a second chance, but they pretend to behave and refuse to come to take the exam."

Meng Jian was a bit of a temper among many civil officials. After hearing the numbers reported by Lu Zhi, even in front of Liu He, his dissatisfaction with him was not concealed at all.

Qian Li was also frowning: "Your Majesty, it is really against the holy grace that the scholars are so slanderous."

"What Daozhun said is reasonable." Not long ago, because his father Zhao Yu suddenly fell seriously ill, Zhao Jin, the prefect of Mount Tai who rushed back to Luoyang, also stood up.

"Although we are also scholars, we are studying the church of saints to stabilize the country, rather than deceive our superiors and conceal our subordinates, and ignore our own selfish interests. I am fortunate to follow Your Majesty in my early years. For ten years, I know that Your Majesty can have today's foundation, and it depends entirely on benevolence and loving the people, so I have been supported by all the people and everyone uses their lives. I think that since scholars find it difficult to understand Your Majesty's kindness, it is better to abandon it. With such a solemn and vast Imperial Academy, within five years, thousands of good talents can be cultivated for the court. Since many scholars are unwilling to advance and retreat with the court, there is no need to regret it."

"Tiyu's words are also the voice of the ministers. Please do not need to compromise in this way."

Meng Jian, Shi Tao and others all started to advise.

Liu He looked at their expressions and burst into laughter.

"You guys... have I ever done something unsure?"

Everyone was stunned and asked, "Did Your Majesty have made arrangements long ago and can really take this opportunity to conquer the hearts of all the scholars in the world in one fell swoop?"

Liu He twisted his short beard: "Not only did the scholars in the world recruited all the people, but they won 70% of the people's hearts, but they were still sure. Two days later, the ministers will be optimistic."

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Early that morning, a large group of people gathered again at the gate of the Taixue School.

Lu Zhi, who had already had white hair, walked out in a row and tiger-like manner. When he saw him appear, everyone who was still noisy and talking quietly instantly.

Lu Zhi was not angry and was arrogant. His tiger's eyes opened slightly, and he glanced around, then said, "The assessment begins, and the scholar is getting started."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to return to the Imperial Academy.

"Director, wait."

A voice sounded from behind, and Lu Zhi instinctively turned around and looked at it. It was a young scholar about twenty-three or four years old. At the same time, he found that none of the many scholars behind him followed him in, which made him feel a little wrong.

"This student is about to start the assessment. Why don't you enter the Imperial Academy? Is there any question?"

The young student bowed to Lu Zhi and bowed to the end, looking very polite.

"I have some unknown things in my heart. I dared to ask the dean for advice. If I understand all my doubts, I will immediately enter the house for examination. I wonder if the dean is willing to give me advice?"

Lu Zhi frowned. He looked at the many other students. Seeing that they were all looking at him in unison, he guessed that this matter must be because these scholars had already secretly connected. Of course, it would not be a good thing, which made him feel a little alert.

However, no matter how alert he is, Lu Zhi, who is nearly 60 years old, has long been used to many strong storms, so how could he be frightened by such a small change?

He stood up again, bowed and returned the ceremony, and said, "I am grateful to Your Majesty for your position. I want to preach and receive teachings for the Han people and students. Since this student has some doubts, I will definitely answer if I know something."

"Okay, Lu Gong is open-minded, I admire him later."

The young student raised his thumbs up and said.

"Late students thought that whether it is classics, engineering, military, or medicine, if they want to achieve success in their studies and teach in some ways, books and classics are essential. Confucian and Taoist classics, famous medical works, military saints, and ancient teachings of workers and peasants should be the basics for teaching students in the Imperial Academy."

Lu Zhi did not refute this: "Yes, that's right."

The young student said: "Mr. Lu is my master of Han classics. He has a reputation in China. Few people can admire him. Since Mr. Lu also agrees with the words of the young, he would like to ask for advice, but I don't know..."

Speaking of this, his eyes bypassed Lu Zhi, looked into the Imperial Academy, and said, "What are the books in this Imperial Academy?"

Lu Zhi's pupils shrank, looking a little surprised.

His stunnedness naturally caused many misunderstandings among the students outside who had prejudice against the Imperial Academy.

"Duke Lu, is it because the Taixue School has very few books?"

"What else can I do to run an Imperial College like this? Wouldn't it be a misleading child?"

"Yes, my family is among the gentry. Although it is at the last level, it also has nearly 20,000 books. Since the Imperial Academy is the highest institution of Han Dynasty, it must have at least 200,000 to 300,000 books. Otherwise, how can it take on such a heavy responsibility?"

After listening to their complaints and ridicule, Lu Zhi came to his senses and hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry, please listen to me. Your Majesty has been planning the Imperial College for a year. In order to build such an institution, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, save money and save money. In order to build a new Imperial College, you will have enough books in the Imperial College, with no less than 400,000 volumes."

"Wow, four hundred thousand...god..."

"If there are really 400,000 books, then... that is a huge treasure. It is really a blessing for us to enter it to study..."

Many scholars were shocked by the number Lu Zhi said.

The young student raised his eyebrows before: "Oh? Is this true? But... how did I hear that there are no extremely vast buildings in the Taixue School. Mr. Lu must have known that a single "The Analects of Confucius" requires more than 20 bamboo slips, enough to fill a wooden box. If you want to put down hundreds of thousands of books, what a magnificent building is needed to be able to do it? I wonder which building is the library in the Taixue School? Could it be that this building is so ingenious that it is the skill of turning corruption into a god, and the booklet can be reduced and stored?"

The sarcasm in his words was beyond words, causing the scholars around him to burst into laughter.

The Imperial Academy covers a vast area, with a length of nearly a thousand feet, and during the period, the pavilions, towers, towers and buildings, there is no large number, but there is no building that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of books. Although these students are not in the Imperial Academy, it is not difficult to find out the layout.

Before he could answer, the scholars cheered again: "Yes, what a big library?"

"I heard that the Yang family of Hongnong has three library pavilions, each covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred feet, and can only store 100,000 books. If the Taixue School has 400,000 books, then I am afraid that at least 30% of the Taixue buildings can be used as collections, right?"

"Yes, I definitely don't believe it."

"I didn't expect that even such great masters as Mr. Lu would do such a deceiving act, which is really disappointing..."

The scholars' sarcasm made the young scholar even more proud.

"How is it, Mr. Lu? Are you wrong here?"

When Lu Zhiche asked, he was not surprised or busy. He asked back: "What? I think you are cheating you, but in fact, there is no collection of books in the Imperial Academy, so you are reluctant to accept the entrance exam?"

"Yes, this is exactly what I mean by late-schooling."

For some reason, after hearing this, Lu Zhi was not angry or embarrassed. Instead, he lowered his head and sighed, as if... he seemed a little disappointed and sad.

"Oh... I didn't expect that his Majesty was really guessed..."

Then, he raised his head again, looked at everyone, and his tone became firmer: "Since you are doubtful, as the head of the Tai Academy, I should explain this doubt."

When the scholars heard this, their eyes lit up.

"What, may Gong Lu want to invite Wansheng and others to look at the 400,000 volumes of classics?"

"If this happens, we will not only take the exam immediately, but even if we fail the exam today, we will definitely prepare for the exam again in the future. If we fight again, we will be admitted to the Imperial Academy no matter what."

"Yes, please help Mr. Lu to resolve our doubts."

The young scholar said, "Mr. Lu is so envious of this. Since this is the case, please lead us to the library and take us to the library to look at it."

The scholars were willing, but there was a bit of coldness in Lu Zhi's eyes.

"No, I can't take you to the library."

"What? What does Mr. Lu mean?" the young scholar said in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Lu's words are just for us to enjoy?"

For a moment, the scholars became excited.

Lu Zhi waved his hand: "No. It's just that Your Majesty has an order, and the Imperial Academy also has strict rules. The library is the first place of the Imperial Academy. Even I have the right to enter and read at any time, and cannot bring people in at will, let alone so many people."

"What should I do according to Mr. Lu's wish? I will not give up until I see the library today." The young student's tone became a little aggressive, and among the many scholars, there were also constant helping to make fun of the scholars, which made the scholars feel a little anxious.

"Yes, I will never give up!"

"If Your Majesty insults the scholars so wildly, even though we are slight, we must not be bullied!"

Many scholars were excited and shouted loudly, so their voices became hoarse.

Seeing that the scene was getting out of control, Lu Zhi reached out and pressed it, plucked the energy of the Dantian, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, please listen to me."

Everyone gradually calmed down, but the look at Lu Zhi also showed some bad intentions.

Lu Zhi said: "My Imperial Academy's library is managed by a dedicated person. I am responsible for all the academic affairs, assessments, and selecting talents for the imperial school, but this library is not something I can do. If you want to enter the view, you must obtain the consent of this person or ask for the imperial edict of Your Majesty. Otherwise, even if the Grand Marshal Yang Gong comes here, you will be rejected."

"Wow, this person is so arrogant." Some scholars said dissatisfied.

"Hey, I can't say that. If this person really shoulders the burden of protecting 400,000 books, and be cautious, it would be true."

"Then he should come out in person. Whether it is accurate or not, he should explain it to us. He is just a guardian of the library. What is his reputation and status in front of us?"

"That's right, Your Majesty has never liked scholars. I'm afraid he's sent a martial artist to guard the library, and it's unknown..."

"If this is true, it will defile so many classics..."

At this moment, a somewhat cold and arrogant voice came from the gate of the Imperial Academy.

"Who is gossiping here and slandering me?"

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look over. They saw a thin and fair man in his thirties, wrapped in a fur cloak, walking slowly from the Imperial Academy and finally stood at a step behind Lu Zhi.

This man stood on the steps, condescending, and his head was raised very high, as if he was looking at people through his nostrils, especially his eyes, which seemed to be closed, and seemed to be open, as if he did not take the thousands of scholars outside the door in his eyes.

"Who is this guy? Just look at his expression, you will know that he is not a good person..."

Some scholars immediately became unhappy, but more scholars seemed to have a look of ghosts and stared at the person coming.

Seeing this, the other scholars were very surprised. They pushed the people around them and asked, "What's wrong, do you know this person?"

Some scholars swallowed their saliva, pointed their fingers at the man tremblingly, and said, "Emperor...Huangfu...Huangfu Han..."

These three words are like a stone, which smashed into the calming lake surface, causing huge waves in an instant.

"What? He is Huangfu Han?"

"The book fanatic from the Huangfu family in the legend?"

"I have heard that General Cavalry had a nephew who had been fond of books since he was a child and never left his books. He was only twenty years old and said that he had read a lot of books. He has read all the books that are circulated in the world today. He is knowledgeable and well-known. However, he lives in the mansion on weekdays and rarely goes out. Otherwise, he would have been able to form a school and recruit disciples long ago."

"Isn't that right? I've heard of this man's name for a long time. When he was twenty years old, he was invited by several Confucian scholars. He had two debates in Chang'an and Luoyang. Although he was young at that time, he was able to defend more than 20 famous masters with his own strength. He became famous for a while and was in the limelight."

"That's right, I'm right. I personally experienced the scene in Chang'an City and still remember it fresh. At that time, Huangfu Han became my idol. If a scholar has such knowledge, he will have no regrets even if he dies!"

"It's just that when His Majesty, when he was sent to Yanmen, when His Majesty wiped out Zhang Jiao in his early years, Old General Huangfu sent this person and entrusted him to his Majesty to take care of him. From then on, Huangfu Han disappeared and never appeared again. He didn't know where to study hard, and he didn't expect that he would appear here today."

"Can't it be..."

There was some speculation in everyone's mind and they looked at Huangfu Han one after another.

Huangfu looked at them coldly, his lips slightly moved: "Yes, the guardian of the Taixue Library Pavilion is here."

"Wow..." Everyone was surprised and happy.
