The blazing sunshine shines on the red bricks and green tiles in Chang'an City, or on the splendid attic eaves.

Wang Yi stood in front of the academy door, raised his arms to block the dazzling light, looked at the white marble door carefully, looked at the statues of sages in front of the academy, and felt longing for it.

Countless years ago, on this land, the big countries were constantly arguing, and the small countries relied on the big countries just to protect themselves. War broke out among the big countries, and the people were in dire straits. The small countries could only follow the big countries to fight for self-protection.

The Master established the academy in troubled times with the aim of saving the world and benefiting the people. However, no country was willing to work with the Master to calm the people and benefit learning.

Later, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty emerged and established the Ming Dynasty, willing to work with the Master to find peace for the people. After countless years of war, they finally unified most of the countries on the mainland, leaving only Northern Qi and Southern Chu.

To this day, the contemporary Emperor Ming of the Ming Dynasty has a civilized and martial arts system. After decades, Wen emphasized Zhang Juzheng, encouraged imperial examinations, and appointed virtuous ministers. Wu tended to the King of Yan, attacked the Northern Qi from the north, and negotiated peace with Chu in the south. The Ming Dynasty achieved all-round development.

During the practice, some people admired the Master, and various academies appeared that specialized in teaching practice.

In front of Wang Yi is Baizi Academy. This academy is the top academy of Daming Academy, and naturally the most difficult academy to enter. There are many people who apply for it. This academy treats all students equally, regardless of whether they are from a wealthy family or a poor family. As

The top academies, Ming Dynasty specially set up the imperial examination for Baizi Academy - Baizi Imperial Examination.

Wang Yi was one of those who participated in the Baizi imperial examination.

The queue in front of White Marble House was very long, extending from the front door to the end of the street. Fortunately, the weather was hot and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

The white coarse shirt Wang Yi wore showed that he was not a noble son from a wealthy family, and it also showed that he was too poor to afford clothes.

On a wall of the academy, there are two huge sheets of paper, with nearly a hundred names densely written on them. The people in the team stared at those names with fiery eyes, trying hard to find if they were on them.

Wang Yi's eyes are also looking at the list. All the people on the list are the students recruited by Baizi Academy. He has been studying the books of sages for more than ten years, just for the list in front of him.

He found his name, number seventy-six. Not too high, not too low, just right.

"The lesson has come out." Someone in the crowd shouted.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it. The sun's rays reflected on the white marble, reflecting the light from the gate.

People who come out.

Several teachers looked at the people in front of the door with serious expressions, as if they felt their fiery gazes. The leader shouted, "Now we are going to issue the Baizi ID badges. Those who receive the badges can come to school tomorrow." After that,

, on a table they brought out, ready to start registration and handing out signs. People started to fight for it and looked forward.

"Quiet, those whose names are called now come forward to receive their identity badges." A young instructor shouted to the long queue in front.

Suddenly, everyone present began to become quiet, and they were all waiting quietly for their names to be read.

After ten years of hardship, the world will know about it.

I'm talking about this moment today.

The people in front quickly received their own identity cards, and gradually there were more and more people. Wang Yi kept listening to the names.

Seventy-four, seventy-five, seventy-seven.

People present were very surprised as to why they only skipped the seventy-sixth place.

Wang Yi was very shocked as to why his name was omitted. He was clearly on that list.

Wang Yi walked up to the instructor and said, "Hello, I am number seventy-six. Why didn't you pronounce my name?"

The teacher raised his head and glanced at Zhang Sheng, "Are you from Youzhou?"

"Yes, I'm from Youzhou." Wang Yi had long known that he was going to ask himself this.

"Someone wants your spot, you can put forward your conditions." The instructor looked at Wang Yi coldly.

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, "Can I ask why?"

Jiao Xi looked at Wang Yi condescendingly.

"There is no reason, I just can't do it if I say it can't be done."

"How can you, a poor scholar in cold clothes and rags, be able to enter our Baizi Academy?"

"Someone has taken a fancy to your spot."

The instructor looked at Wang Yi with a bit of mockery in his eyes. You came from the countryside and you entered Baizi Academy through my hands. That is a joke, a huge joke.

Wang Yi stood under the blazing sunshine and looked at the instructor. Everyone around him also listened to the instructor’s words. Although the instructor’s words made many of the poor disciples present quite angry, no one came to speak out for him at this time.

To be fair, people don't care for themselves, and people are more afraid of power. He didn't understand, shouldn't the quota for the Baizi imperial examination be easily obtained in the eyes of those big people? Why would they come to take away the things of a small person like himself?

It took more than ten years of hard work to achieve such a ranking. This is something that belongs to me.

"Say your request, my time is limited." The instructor said impatiently to Wang Yi again, this time the instructor's eyes showed undisguised contempt.

"I refuse." Wang Yi's body trembled slightly, but his voice was unusually clear: "I said I refuse this deal!"

The teacher heard clearly that the poor boy in front of him, this poor boy who could not even afford a good piece of clothing, rejected his own proposal and rejected the noble man.

"Say it again." The teacher couldn't believe it. Is it because he had a heat stroke due to the sun or was he old? Or was this young man crazy? He was sure that as long as Wang Yi agreed to this

Transaction, this means that he can have too many things, money, status, and friendship with noble people. As long as he does not treason, then Wang Yi can definitely walk sideways in the Ming Dynasty in the following days.

"I said, I refuse!" Wang Yi replied seriously, neither humble nor arrogant.

Several teachers around him turned around first and looked here. Several people looked at each other. Then everyone present also looked here.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene became solemn.

This is a very bad thing for one's reputation. There are some people who dare to refuse one's proposal, twice.

Wang Yi pointed to the paper on the wall and said, "I, the seventy-six of Wang Yi's Baizi imperial examinations, request to be issued my identity badges." His tone was very strong and his attitude was very resolute.

A trace of anger flashed in the instructor's eyes, and he angrily threw the identity card in his hand to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi took the identity card and turned to leave. Suddenly he said to the teacher, "You don't have to give me the identity card, you can look down on my background, but you should never look down on me, Youzhou. What happened back then, I, Youzhou

What a mistake. Even His Majesty has vindicated me, Youzhou, how can you, a little disciple, even resist His Majesty!"

Wang Yi directly pinned the charge of resisting Emperor Ming on the teacher.

"You!" The teacher was very angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. After all, if you talk about government affairs in public, you will be invited to Qintian Prison for tea, and no one who has entered Qintian Prison has come out intact.

of.

No one dared to speak out, and everyone stayed away.

"Tomorrow I will go to Jingzhao Mansion to cancel my quota." Wang Yi straightened his clothes, "Don't you want my quota? I, Wang Yi, want you to beg for it."
