After calming down these unruly students, Yang Fan turned to Li Yifu and said:

"To deal with these dandy boys, you have to pay attention to methods. The more respectful you are, the more aggressive they will be."

"As the saying goes, if you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house and uncover the tiles. The more ruthless you are, the more cowardly they will be..."

The words were said in front of all the candidates, and everyone could hear them clearly, which almost made this group of children from a lawless family almost mad to death.

For a time, many students were filled with indignation and started talking quietly below, but no one dared to refute and act like the first person.

No matter how unhappy they are, these people just mutter a few words to vent their anger and depression at being looked down upon.

With Yang Fan's cold gaze, everyone immediately shut up and the whole place fell into silence.

Seeing such a scene, Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction, looked at other officials from the Ministry of Rites and said:

"As a court official, we must remember in the future that our Ministry of Rites is no longer someone who can be manipulated at will."

"If anyone dares to fry his wings, he will be disqualified from taking the imperial examination!"

"If these dandy boys continue to be so lawless, we will beat them to pieces. They may even come to us with a smile on their faces afterwards to plead for mercy!"

As for Yang Fan's arrogance, these aristocratic families just dismissed it, but when many candidates heard it, they all fell silent.

Although what Yang Fan said was unpleasant, it was very reasonable.

If you are really kicked out of the imperial examination, won't you be beaten to death when you go back?

As a result, all the students no longer dared to refute.

If they were deprived of the qualification to take the imperial examination, wouldn't they lose the ability to be arrogant and domineering in the future?

If they become a rice bug and are no longer of use to the family, the clan elder will not only beat them until their skin is torn to pieces, but may even strangle them to death!

Li Yifu was a little stunned. It was indeed Yang Fan's style. Who cares?

However, after thinking about it more carefully, Yang Fan is right.

After all, the current Ministry of Rites is not the former Ministry of Rites!

Now, not only does he have the support of His Majesty the Emperor, Yang Fan is also in control of the formulation of various policies for the imperial examination.

As long as you have the big killer weapon of the imperial examination in your hands, you will be in charge of the talent selection in the world.

No matter how prominent your family background is and how strong your backing is, what can they do without Yang Fan's approval?

Why are the children of these aristocratic families so afraid of Yang Fan? It's because Yang Fan is not afraid of anyone and doesn't give anyone face.

More importantly, Yang Fan always goes against the family?

Therefore, as long as Yang Fan is willing, he can directly deprive someone of their imperial examination qualifications!

Of course, the premise is that Yang Fan does not care about the consequences.

After all, once Yang Fan deliberately targets him and wants to be an official, he will have to live in the next life.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites suddenly became more energetic after thinking about it, and they were as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. When will the Ministry of Rites be able to be prosperous?

After stopping the chaos, Yang Fan ordered the leaders of Li Yifu to maintain order and at the same time organized the students to enter the venue in order.

Yang Fan, on the other hand, stood aside to prevent any changes.

The Imperial College inherited the former Sui Dynasty and its scale was grand.

As the highest institution of higher education in the Tang Dynasty, it has complete facilities. In addition to teaching buildings, warehouses, and sanatoriums, the campus buildings are all available.

There are dozens of houses alone, and the buildings are row upon row.

The sun hasn't fully risen yet, but the sky is already bright.

Yang Fan moved the chair and sat carelessly in front of the entrance door of the examination room. There was a desk in front of him, and officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and his bodyguards stood on both sides.

Soon, the candidates at the door were searched and let in.

Sitting on the chair, looking at these nervous candidates in front of me, I felt sad in my heart.

Who would have thought that one day he would become a hated invigilator.

I think back to the time when I was taking an exam and faced the worry of the invigilator, as if it was yesterday...

After thinking about it, Yang Fan ordered his soldiers to bring over a large vat and placed it next to the desk.

Then, facing Li Yifu, he said: "You are all young talents, and the future of the country depends on your hands."

"So, selecting the country's pillars of talent is what we should do."

"No!" Li Yifu looked like he was being taught.

Soon, everyone came in one after another, and many of the people being checked had some minor problems.

As for the person who was found carrying something, as long as he didn't mess around, Yang Fan could pretend he didn't see it.

I didn't realize that I was also a candidate at this time.

Seeing how everyone was afraid to express their feelings, Yang Fan felt as comfortable as drinking ice water.

Seeing some students trying to avoid inspection, Yang Fan said coldly: "I would like to advise everyone not to take chances. All the officials here are very sharp-eyed."

"If you are found out later, you will have no choice but to be tested for qualifications for life."

"Of course, there are many people from aristocratic families who fish in troubled waters and want to have good luck and pass exams to enter official careers."

"But I can tell you that it is impossible!

"Since you are poor scholars who have studied hard for several years since childhood, I just want to say that everyone only has this chance now. I hope you can cherish this exam and don't ruin your future by mistake!"

All the candidates looked at each other in shock.

One candidate hesitated for a moment, looked at Yang Fan's coldness with a guilty conscience, gritted his teeth, and took off his cotton-padded jacket.

The lining of the cotton-padded jacket was densely covered with small prints, which amazed the invigilating officials and puzzled them - how was he going to read these answers during the exam later?

This candidate is probably a poor scholar with an average family background. After taking off his cotton-padded jacket, he is left with only a middle coat. The clothes are not neatly lined, so it is difficult to get in.

The student probably knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the exam, and he looked very depressed.

After studying hard for many years, I thought that one day I would be able to get out of slavery with my knowledge and that I would be able to live a prosperous life and shine on my family.

But in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

Today, I am in my twenties and still have accomplished nothing.

The imperial examination is simply a God-given opportunity for poor students like them who study hard.

You can leap into the dragon gate with a strategy in mind!

But who would have thought that he would be killed before the battle?

Even so, this candidate is just sorry.

At the same time, I felt ashamed that my parents would have to accompany me to suffer for a few more years, waiting for the next imperial examination.

But if his involvement is discovered, he will never have the opportunity to take the imperial examination and become an official in his life.

For him, such an ending would be nothing less than a catastrophe, and he absolutely cannot bear it!

The breeze blew, making the candidate shiver. He smiled bitterly and bowed to Yang Fan: "I'm afraid the student won't be able to complete the exam. However, the student's family is poor. If he gets sick, it will be a huge expense and add burden to the family out of thin air.

. Therefore, the student requests to withdraw from this exam and continue to work hard in the next session. I hope your permission will be granted."

Although Que is described as desolate, he is able to remain calm and composed in the face of desperate situations.

Especially when it comes to the poverty of the family, there is no trace of embarrassment and inferiority. This free and easy state of mind is indeed rare.

Yang Fan smiled slightly, stood up, and waved his hand gently:

"People cannot be short-lived if they are poor. Aren't the achievements of those aristocratic families that seem prominent and glorious accumulated from generation to generation?"

"In this world, there has never been a sudden explosion, let alone a poor family that will sink forever!"

"As long as you maintain this open-mindedness, you will one day be able to stand out and honor your ancestors. I am optimistic about you!"

"As for this exam, it's up to you if you can't leave."

Yang Fan patted the candidates on the shoulders hard twice to encourage them.

Thinking back to his past life, Yang Fan was also a poor boy living in a ravine, his family was destitute, and he was in dire straits!

It is education that allows him to walk out of the mountains...

Regardless of His Majesty Li Er's original intention of establishing the imperial examination.

It is undeniable that it provides a ladder to heaven for those poor scholars who are full of fighting spirit and ideals and are unwilling to succumb to others.

It enables those poor scholars with perseverance and ability to rely on their own hard work and efforts to change their destiny and bring glory to their family!

In the morning, he is the farmer's husband, and in the evening, he is the emperor's hall!

There is no derogatory connotation in this sentence, but only endless inspiration and miracles!

Most of the candidates waiting in line outside the gate to enter the venue also witnessed this scene with their own eyes.

Many people were shocked by Yang Fan's words, especially those students from poor families!

Yes, there has never been a family that rose up overnight, let alone a poor family that would sink forever!
