After being busy for so long, although it was already dark at this time, none of the students in the academy left and spoke in groups of three or five. The students came here not entirely for Qiu Wenpu to get cold, but for the list of tributes.

Qiu Wenpu is a famous scholar, with many talents all over the world, but nothing is absolutely absolute. Not all the disciples he taught can be officials. Just like a pyramid, successful disciples are just a few people on the top of the tower, and most of them are still unable to get a ranking in the scientific examination.

The most important thing is to have self-knowledge. Many wealthy disciples from the family came to Xiantong Academy to study, not because they really wanted to pass the Jinshi exam, nor were they greedy for the title of Xiantong Academy. They were superior to those who studied in famous academies? That is not necessarily the case that studying in such a famous academies is still the result of the scientific examination, which is even more embarrassing if it is spread!

Many students are sent here by their families for connections and for those classmates who study with them. In modern terms, they want to become members of the network of relationships!

The disciples in Xiantong Academy are either rich or noble. If they are classmates, they can help each other if they have any problems in the future. After entering the officialdom, those students who passed the imperial examination can join forces and form a small circle. Everyone is their own people, and officials protect each other and support each other. Those who passed the exam and those who failed the exam can collude with officials and businessmen, money helps power, and power creates momentum, forming a large force. Wouldn't that be convenient for anything!

Qiu Wenpu is a mature and wise man, of course he understands this truth, so his conditions for recruiting disciples are very strict. First, it depends on qualifications. This is the guarantee of being able to pass the science exam. If the qualifications are good, he will pay for the money to accept this disciple to support him in his studies. Secondly, it depends on the background. If the family is rich, even if the qualifications are poor, he will be admitted to the academy.

Although this approach is utilitarian, it is very difficult for people to live in the world and not stained with mud. If they want to learn from Tao Yuanming as calm as Tao Yuanming, it will be even more difficult. At least for Master Qiu, it is very difficult to do this, and he has no intention of doing this!

In this way, the students in the academy will naturally be divided into two circles. One is that they are good at studying. This kind of person has hope of passing the exam and becoming an official in the future, so everyone has close contact. The other circle has no hope of passing the exam, but the family has rich people, most of them are playboys.

Wang Ping'an and Cheng Jisheng entered the academy through the back door and saw hundreds of people standing in the back garden. They took advantage of the moonlight and found that the hall in front was full of people. It seemed that all the disciples of the academy were coming tonight.

They didn't know about the list of tributes. Wang Ping'an said: "It seems that Mr. Qiu's ability to educate people is indeed superb. He was sick and so many people came to visit him. He was so late and was still waiting here. Should we go over and tell them that Mr. Qiu's illness has nothing important?"

Cheng Jisheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need. If you talk about it over, they will pester you and ask for questions. Maybe you will also inform them so that they can go in and meet the teacher. I have seen a lot of such flattery methods in Chang'an!"

The two of them walked slowly along the pond, and two girls Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu followed behind.

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "When it comes to Chang'an, there are high-ranking officials everywhere. Are there sometimes high-ranking officials sick, and so many people gather outside his door?"

Cheng Jisheng shouted and said, "These many people are also called Duo? When I was in Chang'an, I once said that Mr. Changsun was sick. Although you lived in the countryside, you should have heard of Mr. Wuji's name?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "It's like thunder!" No one knew that Changsun Wuji knew so much that he could no longer know. The first person in Lingyan Pavilion, the real power faction in the Tang Dynasty court, let alone people of this era, even later generations knew the name of Changsun Wuji.

Cheng Jisheng said, "Once, Mr. Changsun was sick. I and his colleagues from the Imperial Medical Office went to see him. Hey, guess what, the people who visited him were lined up from the street to the end of the street and said there were one or two thousand people, which was said to be less. Mr. Changsun didn't like this kind of flattery, so he sent his family to drive those people away. You guess what, those who visited him actually knelt on the ground and cried loudly, saying that he would not leave, and shout that if they were not allowed to come in to pay their respects, they would kneel to death at the door!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "One or two thousand people were kneeling at the door, the scene was spectacular!"

"Who said no?" When talking about the past, Cheng Jisheng suddenly turned dark, and he was silent for a while, and said, "Peace, you will be an official in Beijing in the future. Although you plan to take the medical exam, you may not have to go to the Imperial Medical Office. I think you are very good at dealing with people, so it is better to ask for favors and go to another official office!"

Wang Ping'an said oh and asked, "Why is this?"

The two walked to a willow tree, Cheng Jisheng broke a willow branch, and played with it in his hands, as if he was thinking about something. Wang Ping'an didn't ask, but just stood quietly aside.

Cheng Jisheng sighed, threw away the willow branches, and said, "Although being an imperial doctor is brilliant, the risk is too great. To be with the king is like a tiger. If you never fail, everything is easy to say. With the trust of the emperor, it is not difficult to rise to the top. If you show some strengths in other aspects, it is possible to enter the center in the future. But if you fail, then something big will be wrong!"

Wang Ping'an nodded silently. He understood this principle. Seeing Cheng Jisheng suddenly sighed. It was possible that he remembered the past, and he should have missed it!

Sure enough, Cheng Jisheng said: "I was very energetic back then. I thought I could achieve the imperial physician order by relying on traditional Chinese medicine, but I didn't expect that once I went to the palace to treat a talented person. After the medicine he prescribed, she started to lose her hair. The talented person was afraid of losing favor because of this, so he told the palace manager to cry and told me that the matter was found here..." He spread his hands and said: "I had to resign and returned to Xuzhou in a mess!"

Wang Ping'an blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "Is that talented man surnamed Wu?" He remembered that Wu Zetian was here. Wasn't he just a talented man at the beginning?

"Not the surname Wu, but Qin." Cheng Jisheng didn't know why he asked this question, and then said, "So, if you have to go to the Imperial Medical Office in the future, you must study gynecology and pediatrics thoroughly. As long as you are proficient in these two subjects, the people in the palace will like you. You can't even think that the hardest wind in the world is the pillow wind!"

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "There is no need. If the emperor is blown by the wind a lot, he thinks that I often enter the palace and is suspected of being filthy in the inner court, wouldn't that be bad!"

Cheng Jisheng was stunned and then laughed loudly. Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu listened on the side, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

At this time, the old servant Qiu Cai ran over and said, "My master just now had a slight diarrhea. The young master asked the old slave to come and ask if it was the result of the medication?"

Wang Ping'an waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's normal. After two quarters of an hour, I will spray it again!"

Cheng Jisheng said, "I'm going to see it. Ping An, take this opportunity to talk to those students. This will be of great help to your future!"

After saying that, he quickly returned to the courtyard.
