"This Huangfu Qingluo was so noble and arrogant in the past. Now that he has disappeared for several years, he is willing to be a mere library guard? Do you really have such charm today?"

"It's hard to say that if there were 400,000 books in the library, it would not be a strange thing to be willing to stay in it with his reputation as a bookworm."

When everyone was speculating, the young scholar bowed to Huangfu Han and said, "I haven't seen Brother Huangfu for many years. When I see him today, my style remains the same."

Huangfu Han glanced at him: "Who are you? If you don't know me, you don't have to get close to me."

"You..." The young scholar felt embarrassed and a little angry on his face.

He forced himself to endure the unhappiness in his heart and directly asked: "I dare to ask Mr. Huangfu, since he is the guard of the library, he must have known the books and classics in it. I wonder if what Mr. Lu said just now, it is true that it is more than 400,000 books from various schools are hidden?"

He questioned Lu Zhi's words so openly that even though Lu Zhi was extremely well-educated, his face would inevitably turn a little dark.

Huangfu Han looked at the person directly at this time, but his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"What are you worthy of questioning Mr. Lu?"

"You...how dare you be so rude?" The young scholar stared at the boss's eyes, very angry.

"Hmph... Why do you need to talk about etiquette when dealing with rude people?" Huangfu Han sneered at him, not caring at all.

The young scholar was so angry that his face turned red, which made Lu Zhi feel very happy: "This cold nephew has not seen him for several years and has become more and more extraordinary."

At this time, another scholar stood up: "Huangfu Han, I respect you as a fellow scholar and a leader of us. I just gave you some shameful face. Don't be ungrateful."

"That is, there are very few books in this Imperial Academy. Are you not afraid of being punished by God when you and Duke Lu help the evil and deceive the scholars and the people of the world?"

"Yes, I will never go to the Imperial Academy!"

"Not only can I not wait, I will spread this act of deceiving the world and stealing fame all over the world, so that everyone can see your ugly face clearly, and let you wait for the bad news for thousands of years and be scolded by future generations."

Huangfu Han's expression remained unchanged. He looked at them coldly, then said, "Why, do you really think that this great Han Chinese top university does not have even 400,000 books?"

Several scholars sneered: "If there are really so many books, why should you delay so much and refuse to let me wait and see it?"

"That's right, it must be fake."

Huangfu Han put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "You really want to go to the library and take a look at it yourself. Do Fang Ken believe it?"

"That's natural. As the saying goes: Listening to the ear is false, and seeing to the eyes is true. If we had not seen it with our own eyes, we would never believe that there were 400,000 books in the Imperial Academy."

"Yes, I absolutely don't believe it. If we wait for thousands of scholars today, if we cannot see the library, we will definitely refuse to leave."

All the scholars shouted in unison, and the crowd was excited, and the voices almost spread across half of Luoyang City.

Huangfu Han yawned: "The library is the first place in the Imperial Academy. You are not from the Imperial Academy and you must not enter. But I think you are eager to learn, so I am the guardian who cannot make an exception. But... Since you want to make an exception, you naturally have to exchange it with other conditions to be fair."

The scholars did not expect him to answer like this, and they immediately became puzzled: "Conditions? What conditions do you want?"

Huangfu Han carried his hands on his back and walked forward two steps: "A certain family has decided that after seeing the library, you will definitely rush to enter the Imperial Academy. But Your Majesty has an order. This re-examination is the last time this year. Since you missed it, you could not enter the school at first, but the crowd was in a raging situation at that time, and you were afraid that Your Majesty and the Dean would not be able to refuse. But if you agree, you will be cold again and you will have the heart of a scholastic student three days ago."

"I'm too proud, right? Even if there are 400,000 books in the library, we may not necessarily come to study."

"That is, more than 30,000 books in my family are enough for me to study for half my life. Today I am waiting here not to enroll in school, but to clarify the truth and give me an explanation to the great man."

These people were so honest and righteous, which made Huangfu Han say in secret: "It's so hypocritical, pretending to be like that."

He immediately said, "Since I have said that, I have my own reason. By then, if you wait for thousands of people, you will really be in the Imperial Academy, the dean will be unstoppable."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Zhi and bowed and said, "Dean, what do you think?"

Lu Zhi nodded: "My nephew said it well. The Imperial Academy is the highest institution of learning, and it is intended to spread knowledge. If these scholars really want to enroll together, I really cannot refuse it. If a nephew has a way to deal with it, please teach me quickly."

"I dare not, the dean has orders, and I will follow you."

Huangfu Han stood up straight again and looked at the many scholars: "In view of this, I would like to propose a condition below. If you want to enter the Taixue scholar, you will take the exam now. Those who pass the exam will naturally be students of the Taixue. But if you refuse to take the exam, you must first read the library. By then, it is not impossible to enter the Taixue, but you can't be a student anymore."

Everyone was surprised and said, "What else can I do when I entered the Imperial Academy but didn't become a student?"

Huangfu Han said: "Of course, you are a chore. You have to wait for all matters such as collecting water, chopping firewood, sweeping the floor, washing and washing. You must do it yourself and not ask someone to do it for you. Otherwise, you will be driven out of the Imperial Academy immediately and you will never be allowed to enter this school again."

As soon as he said this, thousands of scholars burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Listen to what he said... Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Huangfu Qingleng, you are too confident, right?"

"Not to mention that it is for 400,000 books, even if there are 800,000 books, we will never be humiliated for it and will be a servant."

"A real man can kill a soldier, but not be humiliated. Huangfu Han, you made the wrong plan."

Listening to the laughter of everyone, Huangfu Han didn't care: "How about it, do you agree to this condition? If you agree, I will take you to the library. If you don't agree, please come back. It's not because I, Huangfu Han, boasted that this library, except for Your Majesty, has not been agreed to, and no one can take a step, no matter if you are a royal relative."

Looking at his swearing look, many scholars felt a little excited.

"I see that he is so calm, can he..."

"Is that something? I don't believe that there are so many books in the library. For a long time, the court has not purchased books in large quantities, nor has it ordered people to urgently copy various classics. The books presented by many ministers in the court are only more than 100,000 books at most. The so-called "smart women cannot cook without rice. If you are not a god today, how can you create these books out of thin air?"

"Brother said it is reasonable. I think Huangfu Han is just a pretentious thing. I'll play with him to the end."

"Yes, play to the end. Besides, even if there are really 400,000 volumes, so what? If we don't go to the Imperial Academy, we don't need to be the servile servant. No matter what, we won't lose."

The scholars quickly made up their minds.

"Huangfu Han, I have agreed, so I will do it."

"Everyone agrees? There is no exception? No one wants to take the exam now?"

Huangfu Han asked again.

The scholars replied in unison: "No, we all want to see the style of the library."

When Huangfu Han heard this, he sneered: "Since that's the case, then let me do it."

He turned his head and said to Lu Zhi: "Please go with the dean."

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Haha, I have only been to this library once. Since then, I have been lingering and unable to sleep or eat. This time I borrowed them all."

The two led the way in front, and the thousands of scholars entered one after another and entered the Imperial Academy.

This Imperial Academy covers a vast area, and there are many corridors of Quyuan. Everyone walked along the way, but after a while, they did not arrive at the library, which made the scholars even more convinced that the other party was playing with them.

Many scholars secretly connected each other and were discussing how to attack later to give Huangfu Han and Lu Zhi a warning.

Huangfu Han and Lu Zhi, who were leading the way in front, suddenly stopped: "Everyone, when you arrive, this place is the library."

Everyone came to their senses and looked around. They saw lush forests and bamboos on both sides, pavilions and towers, and rockery fish ponds, which were very exquisite.

In front of them, there were four four-story buildings. Each of these four buildings was connected by corridors, with building appearance, flying eaves and cliffs, carved beams and painted buildings, which were extremely spectacular.

"Everyone, these four small buildings are library books, which correspond to the four academies. However, dozens of books on the four academies such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Three Character Classic", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and "Records of the Grand Historian" are all treasured in the four academies."

When the scholars saw Huangfu Han really brought them to the library, they became confused again.

"Is what Mr. Lu said true?"

"All of this has reached such a point, and whether he is true or not, can he still retreat?"

The young scholar who had been talking before stood up again: "Since that's the case, please take us and come in and appreciate it carefully, so that we can also let young and knowledgeable people and see the style of the Han Imperial Academy."

Huangfu Han looked at him with some fun: "Don't worry, since you have been here, I will naturally take you in, but don't forget the promise you have to wait at that time."

He walked to the entrance of one of the pavilions with the words "Book Pavilion·Sutra" and said a few words to the four guards guarding the door. The four men slowly pushed open the four seemingly thick doors.

He stood at the door and made a "please" gesture to thousands of scholars.

The scholars looked at each other and saw a hint of hesitation from each other's eyes. However, as the saying goes, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. At this moment, they cannot hesitate.

"Just go in, just take the opportunity to expose them."

The young scholar walked over first, and the rest of the scholars followed one after another.

"After entering the gate, we immediately spread around and check the books everywhere. I see that there will be words mixed with books without words, many false books, or multiple copies of the same book, and place them in various places to fill in the numbers. As long as we find out the problem, we can attack."

"Yes, today we must make this mixed Taixue, which is notorious."

All the scholars made up their minds and waited to walk into the four gates.

The four gates were very wide enough to accommodate a hundred people in parallel at the same time. When the first group of scholars had just walked to the door, for some reason, they suddenly stopped and stopped walking forward, which surprised the scholars behind them.

"What's going on? What happened? Why did you suddenly stop?"

The people behind kept urging the group of scholars in front, but what responded to them was the sudden burst of exclamations from these scholars.

"Oh my God...oh my... how is this possible..."

Lu Zhi and Huangfu Han stood on both sides of the door, looking at them with a sarcastic look on their faces, without saying a word.

Listening to these amazement, the people behind him became more and more anxious. Just as they were about to squeeze forward, they were scolded by the four guards who were guarding the door and shouted: "Boldly, the library is in the important place, and you must not push and jump into the line, otherwise you will be beaten to the fifteenth in public."

Looking at the fierce-looking guard, especially seeing a long whip in their hands, the scholars swallowed and quickly gave up the idea of ​​squeezing over.

At this time, Huangfu Han reminded him: "All scholars outside the door, have you not smelled any breath?"

After he reminded him, the scholars outside the door hurriedly sniffed hard.

Immediately afterwards, a group of scholars who were approaching the gate suddenly shouted: "Ah...this...this is...the fragrance of ink..."

"And, there is another smell... This is... the smell is a bit familiar, but I just can't remember where I smelled it..."

"Ah, I remembered it! Three years ago, I smelled this smell at my home in Kong Beihai, Qingzhou. It was the smell of "Lüshi Chunqiu" copied by Zuo Bo paper. It was the smell of paper, and it was a lot, a lot of paper!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused these thousands of scholars to fall into madness.
