Even after Li Shimin had left the Imperial College, the group of Imperial College students were still immersed in their fanaticism. To be able to gain the Emperor's attention, this was a great deal of trust for these hot-blooded students who had yet to graduate from the Imperial College. They believed that in the future, the matter of the Emperor and his minister entrusting him with the Emperor's favor would definitely become a much-told story that would be passed down in the Imperial College forever.
After a long while, the group of students finally calmed down slightly. However, from the looks of it, these students seemed to have changed completely in such a short period of time.
Meton looked at the fanatical students and sighed inwardly. Li Shimin was indeed one of the best among the Emperors. With just a few words, he was able to make all the students unswervingly loyal to him. It was conceivable that this batch of Imperial College students would definitely remember the Emperor and his minister entrusting him with the Emperor's favor when they stepped into the bureaucracy in the future. The chances of corruption would be greatly reduced.
"Alright, we will now announce the results of the Annual Examination!" Imperial Academician Ma Jiayun announced loudly.
The group of Imperial College students instantly quieted down and turned their gazes towards Meton. Whether Mo Jiazi would be able to achieve first place in six subjects in the Imperial College would depend on the last subject.
"Meton, I believe in you. This time, you will definitely get first place as well!" Qin Huaiyu whispered behind Meton.
After Li Chengqian and the other two left with Li Shimin, Qin Huaiyu and the other two came out alive again.
"First place in six subjects. Just because others can't do it, doesn't mean that you can't do it!"
Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin also nodded their heads firmly. They had blind faith in Meton.
Meton was instantly touched. To be able to meet these three people in the Imperial College was definitely not a wasted trip.
"First place in five or six doesn't matter. It's just an empty title!" Meton didn't take it to heart.
However, just because Meton didn't care, it didn't mean that the other students didn't care. After all, if Meton achieved first place in six subjects, they would lose face too. No one wanted to have an insurmountable mountain above their heads.
Imperial Academician Ma Jiayun slowly looked at the group of students and finally cast his gaze on Meton. He revealed a knowing smile and said loudly, "First place in the Annual Examination …"
The group of students' hearts were in their throats. they all wanted to hear their names from Ma Jiayun.
"First place in the first place, Room C Meton!" Ma Jiayun's voice suddenly rose's voice.
Ma Jiayun's words were like a clap of thunder that exploded among the students of the Imperial College. Immediately, everyone was stunned.
"First place in the Imperial College!"
"First place in six subjects!
… … …
The voices echoed in everyone's minds. An unprecedented record in the Imperial College was born. However, they had become Mo Jiazi's stepping stones.
Everyone's hearts were filled with bitterness. Although they had done their best, the final result was still difficult to accept.
"Hahaha, Meton, I told you you could do it!"
Qin Huaiyu and the other two laughed excitedly. They were even more excited than if they had achieved first place in six subjects.
Although Meton had expected this, when he heard that he had achieved first place in six subjects in the Imperial College, he couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile. A classic would always be a classic. It wouldn't fade with the passing of time.
"We don't accept this!" Suddenly, Wei Sian shouted loudly.
"Yes, we don't accept this!" Immediately, many Imperial College students joined in the clamor. How could a young man's temperament truly convince others? Although they admitted that Mo Jiazi was indeed talented, who could be perfect? How could he be able to achieve first place in every subject?
Ma Jiayun's expression became stern. He shouted, "Nonsense! This was personally appointed by His Majesty and witnessed by all the professors. How can we allow you to question it?"
Many students were immediately discouraged. However, there was more dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Wei Sian gritted his teeth and said with his head held high, "If that's the case, then let's pay attention to Meton's strategy of enriching the people and strengthening the country. Let's see how amazing it is and let us be convinced."
"That's right!" The group of Imperial College students also shouted one after another.
Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Wei Sian could not help but show a complacent smile. There was no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. As long as someone refuted Meton's essay, the reputation of the Village Mo's First Place in six subjects would be greatly reduced.
Ma Jiayun, the Imperial College professor, could not help but look at Kong Yingda. Kong Yingda nodded helplessly. Since what was done could not be undone, Kong Yingda did not have to be a villain. The Imperial College could give Mo Jiazi the First Place in six subjects. Although it was somewhat embarrassing for the Confucians, it also proved that they were upright and upright.
Ma Jiayun nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let's have the Old Man read Meton's work, 'Young Tang Dynasty'."
"'Young Tang Dynasty'."
The group of students suddenly turned around and stared at Meton. Like the group of professors, when the students heard that Meton used the style of argumentation again, they suddenly had a bad feeling. They were afraid that they would lose this time.
Meton was probably the first person in history to be able to make people admit defeat just by using the title of an essay.
Sure enough, Meton's essay did not disappoint the crowd. There was not a single word about how to govern a country. It only talked about the importance of young people. As Ma Jiayun read it word by word, the students could not help but be immersed in themselves. Suddenly, their blood boiled and they became excited and heroic.
Young people were sensitive and had strong self-esteem, but they could not get the approval of adults. Meton's essay could be said to have shouted out their hearts. Everyone thought that they were the protagonists in the story. Everyone dreamed that one day they would be able to stand in the imperial court and judge the country.
Only then did the crowd understand the reason why Li Shimin spoke to them. It was probably because of Meton's essay that they had the opportunity to see the emperor's face.
This was the opportunity that Meton had fought for them.
"Beautiful young people of the Tang Dynasty, immortal with the heavens. Strong young people of the Tang Dynasty, boundless with the country." When this sentence was read for the last time, all the students suddenly read it in unison. The scene was extremely shocking.
"Brother Mo is a genius! We are sincerely convinced! "
The group of Imperial College students immediately bowed. No matter how arrogant they were, they could not help but admire the essay. Meton's essay was about all the young people of the Tang Dynasty. If they denied this essay, they would be denying themselves.
At this moment, even Wei Sian's face was full of bitterness. He had never thought that Mo Jiazi's essay would be so sharp that it could make all the students admire him in one fell swoop. No matter how much he nitpicked, he could not find any contradictions.
"I don't dare to, I don't dare to, I encourage you!" Meton did not dare to be arrogant and quickly bowed back.
"Haha! I encourage you! "
The group of Imperial College students suddenly burst into laughter.
A temporary defeat was nothing. They were still young people, and there was still a long way to go. When the time came, they would compete with Mo Jiazi to be the best.
The group of professors also smiled. Not discouraged despite the defeat, this was what the Imperial College hoped for.
At this point, the Imperial College's competition for the first grade had officially come to an end.
