Lu Zhantang came over and asked with concern: "How is it?"

It was not convenient to talk with so many people here, so Zhang Ronghua nodded.

He is not a solitary person, and the relationship between the two parties lies here. When he saw his signal flare, Lu Zhantang rushed over as soon as possible. In addition to his own troops, he also invited strong men. This sentiment is worthy of his gratitude.

His eyes fell on Jiang Daoyuan, and he could not refuse: "I am not worried about you, so I will take Lu Shenhun with me."

Lu Zhantang was confused and couldn't figure out where to go, so he watched patiently without saying anything.

Seeing Jiang Daoyuan's face, which was the color of soy sauce, his eyes were unwilling and helpless. He wanted to refuse but had no choice. He guessed that he must be bleeding heavily to have such an expression.

Silence was useless, Zhang Ronghua pressed forward step by step: "No?"

If one sheep is herded, two sheep are still herded!

The Sutra Pavilion is so big and contains many secret techniques and supernatural powers. Even if they work separately, they won't be able to remember many of them. Jiang Daoyuan said: "Okay! They must come out before dawn."

It was already early in the morning, and there were still more than two hours before dawn, so we tried to reduce losses as much as possible.

Zhang Ronghua smiled: "Okay!"

With a wave of his hand, everyone in the government office and Soul Palace retreated and waited outside.

"lead the way."

Jiang Daoyuan asked the others to disperse and walked in front with Qin Rushan.

in the crowd.

With the support of two female disciples from Zhan Tiantang, Xu Xirou looked at this scene. Although she didn't know what they talked about, one thing is certain. Changqing Academy paid a high price, otherwise Jiang Daoyuan would not have held it back. Qu being like this, with beautiful eyes and mediocre cultivation, single-handedly forcing Evergreen Academy to compromise, this is what she wants!

Several people stopped in the forbidden area. In front of them was a huge pavilion, nine stories high, majestic, exuding the atmosphere of time, ancient and long-standing. It was equipped with a super formation and was guarded by an old man.

On the door plaque were written three Chinese characters "Sutra Collection Pavilion" with flying dragons and phoenixes. Lu Zhantang was shocked. No wonder Jiang Daoyuan refused and hurriedly looked at Qinglin.

Zhang Ronghua reminded: "Don't waste it."

"En." Lu Zhantang solemnly agreed.

The formation has been opened.

Jiang Daoyuan made a gesture of invitation: "Master Hou, please!"

Entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

Zhang Ronghua walked towards the ninth floor. Jiang Daoyuan guessed it, and his heart bleeds. Things become more and more precious as you go up. Countless strong men from Evergreen Academy have tried their best to collect them, but now they have been beaten by pigs, and there are still two!

Arrived at the ninth floor.

There are a lot fewer bookshelves, only nine items, one item in six rows, and each row contains a jade box made of special materials to prevent the passage of time from corroding the books inside and ensure the integrity of the items.

Jiang Daoyuan said: "Master Hou has started."

Zhang Ronghua and Lu Zhantang nodded and separated. The latter was watched by Qin Rushan. He could read but couldn't copy. How much he could remember depended on his own ability.

Jiang Daoyuan turned into a follower and followed Zhang Ronghua.

to be honest.

Lu Zhantang didn't take Lu Zhantang seriously. Even if he was a divine soul user with advanced cultivation and so many magical powers, every one of them was top-notch. They were obscure and difficult to understand, and contained profound martial arts principles that were unfathomable. How many?

Zhang Ronghua is different, this guy is a civil servant!

Dealing with books, the Legend of the Emperor of Heaven can be written, if you memorize it by heart, who knows how much you can remember.

Scan around.

Zhang Ronghua said: "Isn't the Five Elements Phantom Spiritual Technique and the Great Five Elements Free Incarnation magical power here?"

Jiang Daoyuan said: "Except for them, the rest of the magical powers and secret techniques are here."

No more questions.

Walking to the bookshelf, opening the jade box and taking out the books inside, Zhang Ronghua sneered in his heart, let alone these few books, no matter how many they were, they would only be memorized but not read. Even if there were twice as many, they could be memorized before dawn.

Curb the vision, secretly use the Ling Qing Ming Sight to assist, scan it at a glance, and the content on the page will be memorized. Supported by the terrifying power of the soul, there is no need to worry about being unable to bear it.

A book for a few breaths and then the next….

Jiang Daoyuan was suspicious, remember? Impossible, it would be impossible for me, let alone him, if not, what is the intention? Wasting a valuable opportunity? I can't do it alone, don't you see that Lu Zhantang next to him is watching very carefully, desperately remembering, if he can't figure it out, continue to monitor!

After reading the supernatural powers and secret techniques on the ninth floor.

Without saying a word, Zhang Ronghua walked towards the eighth floor, Jiang Daoyuan followed.

Use the power of your soul to build a model in your mind and simulate a Sutra Pavilion. There are nine floors in total. Corresponding to the one in front of you, the layout and bookshelves are exactly the same. There is no difference. The ninth floor is full, and the eight floors below are empty. .

time flies.

In less than two hours, Zhang Ronghua put down the last book in the hall on the first floor, looked at the sea of ​​books in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "It is indeed a school with a rich accumulation. In the hall on the first floor alone, there are more than 100,000 books. Collection of books.”

If he hadn't met him, the soul master had cultivated to the Holy Realm, and had the Sixth Realm Skill Near Tao to assist him with clear eyesight, plus a powerful memory, no other person would have been able to do it.

His expression remained unchanged, and he praised: "He is uniquely thick."

Satisfied, Jiang Daoyuan stroked his beard and pretended to be calm and said, "It's so-so."

asked tentatively.

"Have you remembered everything, Lord Marquis?"

Zhang Ronghua shook his head, with a well-balanced expression, and smiled bitterly: "With so many books, do you think it's possible?"

Jiang Daoyuan thought the same way. Looking at Daxia, even Hun Qingzhu couldn't do it, let alone him. He complimented: "With the knowledge of the Marquis, I can't remember everything. I think the harvest is not bad."

Zhang Ronghua smiled, gained a lot, and took the initiative to explain the matter.

After listening.

Jiang Daoyuan's face was livid, and he almost couldn't hold it back with a terrifying aura. It took him a while to calm down: "How should Su Zaitian handle it?"

"Imprisoned in the underworld, enduring the energy of the underworld, and repenting for the sins committed! The family has been captured and imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Although he didn't want to, Jiang Daoyuan still bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

patiently waiting.

Seeing that the morning court was approaching and Lu Zhantang had not come down yet, Zhang Ronghua said: "Can you please Dean Jiang to tell Envoy Lu Shenhun later that I have gone to court."

"must!"

After leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Zhang Ronghua walked outside.

Jiang Daoyuan thought about what happened tonight. Xu Xirou was not at fault. She was also a victim, and her innocence was almost lost. With her strong talent and ability, without any comfort, someone would poach her. Once she changes jobs, Evergreen Academy will pick her. If nothing is wrong, who should I blame if I don’t cherish it?

With the decision made, he walked towards the inner courtyard, ready to compensate her...

The entrance to the academy.

Mo Qi'an hurriedly greeted him: "Is the Marquis okay?"

"Yeah." Zhang Ronghua nodded.

Let the people from the government office go back first, while the people from the Soul Palace continue to wait here and walk towards the palace.

On the way, I put on my unicorn robe and put on a knowing smile. I made a lot of money this time. I will check after the morning.

Ziji Palace.

Seeing him coming, the officials looked over with fear. They heard a little about what happened last night. Although the punishment was not announced, the relevant personnel were imprisoned and detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. It can be deduced that Mr. Wei Ge was in a bad situation this time. It's heavy, you can't see your face, you can only see the back, and the coldness on your body is heavier than before.

Chu Xuping's eyes sparkled, his heart was cold, you can't laugh for long...

Chao will begin.

Wei Shang read out last night's punishment, appointed two people as Linzhou and Yingzhou Yin, people of Emperor Xia, and discussed several other matters before concluding.

On the way to Shangjingfu.

Changping chariot chases them away.

The three of them sat inside, and Zhang Ronghua explained what was going to happen next.

Ding Yi said: "Evergreen Academy has suffered so many losses during this period, and it won't dare to jump out in a short period of time, but Wei Ge must be careful."

Tie Changlin agreed: "The lower official thinks so too."

Zhang Ronghua shook his head: "No! With his political wisdom, he would not have made such a low-level mistake, otherwise he would have been captured last night. Even if he took action, he would wait for this matter to subside."

asked.

"How are things arranged in the academy?"

Tie Changlin sat up straight: "There is great resistance. There are vague signs of alliance among the academies in the capital, and the forces behind it are also working hard to stop us."

As expected.

The government government made great efforts to promote the reform of the academy and touched their cake. If there is peace, there will be ghosts.

The chances of talents coming out of poor families are much higher than those from rich families. Even if these people have many resources and endless collections of books, their families are powerful, their clansmen are born with rich clothes and fine food, and their elders are high-pressure, please be strict and make a decision. Despite the strict rules, the vast majority of people are still corrupted by the rich clothes and fine food, and only a few people succeed in learning.

The former is different. He was born in poverty, became independent very early, and was severely beaten by life. He understands what he wants, has a strong purpose, and knows that studying is the only way out. He seizes every opportunity and climbs up desperately to make himself stronger. And thus have it all.

Once promoted, the exemption of tuition fees, miscellaneous fees and food expenses will be like a ray of hope for those from poor families, allowing them to see the future, cherish this opportunity, and study hard to gain fame.

These people have been marked by Zhang Ronghua since they entered the government academy. Regardless of whether they are academically successful or not, they are all his disciples. If they enter the officialdom, they will be a huge help. Over time, like a snowball, their power will increase. Growing bigger and bigger, the power of the aristocratic family weakened until the foundation was exhausted.

The people above and behind the scenes will not sit idly by and let this happen.

In addition to these, there are also benefits!

It costs money to study in the academy, as well as food and miscellaneous expenses. At present, it is only one place in the capital. If the imperial court promotes it and the Great Xia Dynasty fully implements it, it will be a huge amount of money, which no one can dare to imagine.

When I gave the order before, I had expected this scene.

Zhang Ronghua said: "Speed ​​up the promotion. Those below dare to stop it. Those who deserve to be demoted should not be lenient. Those who deserve to be imprisoned should be arrested and let them dance to their heart's content. If the sky falls, I will be there to hold it up."

Tie Changlin felt relieved: "With your words, I will feel at ease as a low-ranking official."

While talking.

The Changping car arrived at the North-South Avenue.

Zhang Ronghua said: "Stop."

Ding Bo drove to a stop.

Ding Yi was puzzled: "Brother, where are you going?"

"Fate School." Zhang Ronghua didn't hide it either.

Last night Yang Hongling came over on his mistress and stayed on top of the Nine Heavens until he was fine before leaving. He had to go there for both business and personal reasons.

"Take a break tomorrow, wait for me at home, and go to Huo's house to propose marriage for you."

Ding Yi blushed, and replied embarrassedly.

After getting off the car, I saw them leaving and walking towards the Destiny Academy.

Qinglong Avenue, No. 188, is located in the center of the east city. It has an excellent location, covers a large area, and has a beautiful surrounding environment. It is planted with expensive and rare flowers and plants, and there is a park not far away.

The door plaque reads "Changtian Academy" in four golden characters. It is one of the five major academies in the capital. It has a long heritage and has a history of hundreds of years. It has a large collection of books, including many unique books and ancient scriptures.

The teaching force is strong, and every gentleman has a great reputation. The disciples he has trained, ranging from senior ministers to ordinary officials, have great power in the court.

backyard.

A room with guards guarding the outside, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.

hall.

There were five people sitting. The old man in the main seat was named Chang Xuezhi, the dean of Changtian Academy, and the other four were deputy deans.

The five people represented the five major families. The spokesmen promoted by the forces behind them, including the disciples they trained, were also divided among the five families. Some people did not want to serve, and resisted in various ways, ranging from being expelled from the academy, to ordering to be banned, to worst, using their power. Thrown into a cell.

They are the Chang family, the Zhu family, the Gao family, the Pang family and the Lu family.

The atmosphere was serious and depressing.

Chang Xuezhi took the lead to break the calm and said with a cold face: "You all know the situation. The Shangjing Mansion has already taken action. Once they succeed, we will have nothing to do with it. What will be the consequences? I have made it very clear. What do you think?"

Gao Qiangwen was the first to express his position: "The Marquis of Nancheng is going to kill everyone and promote the reform of the academy. No matter what, we must reduce his arrogance. It is best to let him lose his official position and demote him to a commoner!"

The other three were quite surprised and looked over subconsciously. Isn't this too cruel?

Chang Xuezhi was very satisfied and gave them reassurance: "This matter is not ours. I have already met with four other academies. Two of them agreed. Bailu Academy will not get involved, and Juluan Academy has a wait-and-see attitude." , all the remaining small and medium-sized academies support it! Furthermore, this matter is not a matter of the capital. As long as we take the lead and launch an offensive, other academies in Daxia will also participate, and their power in the court will stand up and crush the Marquis of Nancheng to death. , not giving him any chance to turn around."

Take a breath.

"Although the Marquis of Nancheng has great power, Jian is in the emperor's heart, and he is deeply loved by the saints, he also has many enemies. Behind him is only Pei Cai Cai, whom the prince ignores. Last night, he had a falling out with Mr. Wei Ge. It can be said that this operation is a sure shot. , it’s almost a certainty.”

After analyzing the pros and cons, everything was ready, and the remaining three vice-deans agreed.

Chang Xuezhi felt proud, thinking that he was about to step on the upstarts of Great Xia, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment. He did not dare to be careless. Nancheng Hou's methods were sharp, and he had to be cautious before the dust settled. He immediately explained the plan.

After listening.

Several people were excited, everything was arranged, and what they had to do was very simple.

Chang Xuezhi said: "Let's start!"

Out of the room.

Looking at the sky, Gao Qiangwen sneered in his heart: "Let you and Zhang Ronghua fight to the death, and I won't accompany you."

In the courtyard.

Zhang Ronghua explained the matter again, and the old master stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "After hiding it for so long, we still got the two magical powers to control the palace, and even the Sutra Pavilion was abducted."

Yang Hongling corrected: "Buy one, get one free, you're a good guy!"

Get out the pen and paper.

Zhang Ronghua wrote down the magical power of the Great Five Elements of Freedom and handed it over.

The old master was not polite and looked at it seriously, nodding from time to time. When he finished, he praised: "In terms of the level of sophistication, the magical power of the three academy palaces is better than that of the Evergreen Academy."

Yang Hongling was curious: "Grandpa, how much will your strength increase after you finish training?"

"Before the Sixth Realm skills are close to the Dao, the increase will be about 30%. After cultivating to the Sixth Realm, five incarnations will be condensed, and the improvement will be five times. The continent is so big that no one can stop it anymore!"

"What about the two magical powers of Jixia Academy?"

The old master shook his head: "Qinglin's ability to obtain the Great Five Elements' free incarnation magical power this time was purely accidental. Such a thing cannot be replicated. It is extremely difficult to obtain it!"

Yang Hongling asked the key point: "How long will it take to reach the sixth realm?"

"!!!" The old master had a black line on his head, and a flock of crows seemed to be flying over his head.

Didn’t I just say that? This great magical power is more exquisite than the Great Five Elements Sky-Breaking Sword Formation, and more difficult to cultivate than the Dharma-Xiang Heaven and Earth. If you want to master it, you won't be able to do it within a few years.

He glared angrily: "Grandpa has to do a lot, such as integrating the Great Five Elements Sky-Breaking Sword Formation and the Taizhou Celestial Star Sword Formation, plus other chores, so he has very little time to practice."

Yang Hongling curled her lips, but did not expose it this time.

The old master stood up: "You guys talk, I have merged the two sword formations."

Yang Hongling's beautiful gem-like eyes blinked smartly: "Is Xu Xirou willing to commit herself to you?"

boom!

Zhang Ronghua hit her on the head angrily: "What are you thinking about? She and I are not even friends."

not worried.

Yang Hongling said: "Many of the disciples of the Holy Church are at a bottleneck. Many demons and ghosts have sneaked into the capital recently. We just take this opportunity to improve their practical experience and see if they can break through in a life-and-death crisis."

"be safe!"

"Taking Xiaosi with us is enough to solve all the troubles."

Chatted for a while.

Zhang Ronghua said goodbye. The reform of the academy had reached a critical point. With him in charge, Ding Yi and Tie Changlin were more confident. As soon as they left the academy, Chang Ping Che Zhu came over quickly, frowning slightly, shall we start?

The car stopped.

Ding Yi came out quickly, looking anxious: "Brother, something happened."

Zhang Ronghua greeted: "Let's talk in the car!"

Got into the car and drove out.

Ding Bo drove the car and rushed towards the government office.

Ding Yi solemnly said: "They took action, led by Changtian Academy, combined with Zhenglin Academy and Taiyi Academy, and many small and medium-sized academies suspended classes. Countless scholars protested and rushed towards the Suzaku Gate, asking Your Majesty to seek justice!"

"What about Bailu Academy and Juluan Academy?"

"The former is not involved, the disciples are strictly forbidden to go out, the gate is closed, and all visitors are refused; the latter is watching, if we are weak, we may take the opportunity to step on it."

Zhang Ronghua asked again: "Which people in the palace jumped out?"

Ding Yidao: "The censor headed by Chu Xuping in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jin Zhijian headed by Taixuan Temple, he is Taixuan Temple Lang, Zheng Sanpin, besides them, there are also many officials from other departments participating in the reform of the academy, and the people trained are unbearable Reuse it for a long time, and it will affect the foundation of Daxia, please ask for orders outside the imperial study!"

State your guess.

"Mr. Wei Ge is taking this opportunity to make a fuss?"

"No!" Zhang Ronghua was sure.

"The case has just been settled, and now His Majesty is the first one not to let him go. You can find any reason to make him uncomfortable. Right now, you should go to the vegetable market and supervise and kill Wei Wei and others."

Ding Yi's eyes widened: "Has Chu Xuping voted for someone else?"

"The possibility is very high." Zhang Ronghua said seriously.

"Last night's incident hit Elder Wei Ge very hard. He couldn't even keep his own son. His prestige was almost lost. Some people inevitably have ideas and prepare one or two more ways out."

Ding Yi asked: "How to do it?"

Zhang Ronghua smiled: "If there is only Chu Xuping, I won't be interested at all, but Jin Zhijian will get involved. After he is taken down, let our people take the position. Taixuan Temple will occupy an important position. We will wait for the battle of elders next month to master the propaganda." Quan, Uncle Pei will get twice the result with half the effort."

Again.

"If my guess is correct, His Majesty's people are already on their way."

Ding Yi scratched the back of his head: "Are you still laughing at this time?"

Zhang Ronghua asked back: "Would you not laugh if someone gave you money or talent?"

Ding Yi was stunned: "So cruel?"

"If you want to do things, you will inevitably struggle. If you don't solve them, the decree will not be implemented even if it goes out of the government office! After this time, the reform of the Academy will be a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it. With the pilot project of Shangjing Mansion, Your Majesty will see the results , it will naturally be promoted gradually until all the academies in Daxia are exempt from tuition fees, etc. Not to mention the officials, even if the princes of the imperial court end, they will not be able to stop it. Moreover, the target this time is not them, and they are not expected to do so. It’s the academy in the capital that took these people down, take this opportunity to remove all the stumbling blocks in front of you, so that it will be easier for you to do it again.”

It took a long time for Ding Yi to come to his senses. Brother had a big appetite. This time, the knife was aimed at the academy in the capital, which was far more exciting than fighting Wei Ge.

Zhang Ronghua said again: "Other people are watching. Once the power is weak, everyone will make trouble and take this opportunity to bring me down."

Ding Yi understands this truth, the matter of the academies is very important, not only in the capital, but also in all the academies in Daxia.

Zhang Ronghua ordered: "Use all forces to investigate Changtian Academy."

Ding Yi's eyes flickered coldly, and he was full of murderous intent: "Wait for my news!"

Just arrived at the government office.

Induction.

Eunuch Xiao rode the sacred Tianlong horse and came with a group of imperial guards. When he got close, he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace!"

Zhang Ronghua said: "Let's go!"

Wait for brother to leave.

According to the plan, Ding Yi used all his strength to investigate Changtian Academy...

Royal study room.

Zhang Ronghua took a look, there were officials everywhere, there were hundreds of them, more than expected, the reform of the academy was imminent, several factions united, some people from the neutral faction also ended, there was no fear at all, it was getting more and more fun!

The life of a person, the shadow of a tree, most of the officials were startled when they saw him coming, and suppressed their fear, not letting their inner thoughts show on their faces.

Eunuch Xiao pushed open the palace door and made a gesture of invitation.

Entered the main hall.

There were some people standing, Chu Xuping and Jin Zhijian were in front, and the people behind were not low in rank. The last time they were from the third rank, they walked three steps away from the imperial platform calmly. Zhang Ronghua bowed and saluted: "I have seen Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia put down the pen, Wei Shang took it and hung it on the pen stand, and asked in a deep voice: "I heard from you ministers that you are promoting the reform of the academy, but for the capital city and the small towns and villages under its jurisdiction, there will be one quota for each household, and tuition fees will be exempted. Miscellaneous expenses, food expenses?”

"There is such a thing." Zhang Ronghua said.

"In my opinion, there are countless talents in Daxia, especially those from poor families. Due to their family background, some people obviously have the talent for reading, but they have no money, let alone reading, and they don't even have money to buy books, pens and ink. I have no choice but to work early to support my family. If I give them a chance to change their destiny and live a better life, I will cherish it and study hard to get ahead. When they grow up, whether it is an official or a business, for Daxia It is a huge good thing, benefiting one side for officials, and driving economic development through business, and then feeding back to the people, earning more wages, and life will naturally become better. At that time, everyone will have new clothes to wear and three meals a day There is meat in every meal, and you can go to a restaurant to have a drink from time to time."

Chu Xuping shouted: "That's a bunch of nonsense!"

Zhang Ronghua said: "Chu Yushi may wish to tell you what insight you have."

"Firstly, the imperial court does not have so much money to provide free education to scholars all over the world. Secondly, no one will cherish the things they get for free. The people they train will not be able to govern the place, let alone stand alone. Thirdly, vicious competition has formed with Tianxia Academy. A lot of energy is wasted on snatching talents, intrigues, and increasing costs. In the long run, each generation will be worse than the last. Fourthly, major academies in the capital have suspended school. I learned from their mouths that going to Beijing will not stop. The reform of the academies means that if classes are not resumed, scholars will have no books to read. The Fifth Imperial Examination is about to take place. If the government makes such a fuss, when scholars from all over the world gather in the capital, people will be panicked and have no intention of taking the imperial examination. When the news spreads about their return, riots may occur. ." Chu Xuping became more and more excited as he spoke, and pointed angrily.

"Can you afford these consequences?"

He turned around and bowed to Emperor Xia, speaking harshly.

"Zhang Ronghua doesn't know how to manage the place, and he gave random orders, which caused the current disaster. I beg your Majesty to remove him from the position of governor!"

Jin Zhijian was confused. What Chu Xuping said was inconsistent with the plan. According to the previous discussion, shouldn't he be dismissed from all official positions and titles, and then demoted to a commoner?

Don't think too much, it's time to do it yourself.

"Your Majesty, the great Confucians and scholars in the city have gathered a hundred feet away from the Zhuque Gate. Please make the decision for them. I suggest that Zhang Ronghua be demoted to a commoner to set an example and appease the scholars in the world!"

"Idiot!" Chu Xuping cursed in his heart.

Emperor Xia said: "How do you explain it?"

Zhang Ronghua's expression remained unchanged, and he was in control of the development of the matter up to now: "I don't agree with you. Blindly sticking to the rules is of course helpless, but it misses the opportunity to make Daxia stronger. What Chu Yushi said is a complete joke! The imperial court There is not so much money, but the Shangjing Prefecture has it. As a governor, if you cannot do something practical for the people under your rule, what is the difference between you and those who are just waiting to die? Use the government office as a pilot, and wait for the results to come out. Based on the local income, etc. , and then let Tianji Pavilion come up with a reasonable charter, this problem can be solved. Allowing them to enroll for free is just a chance. The academy will conduct assessments every year, and combined with their usual performance, will expel those who are sneaky and unmotivated. The so-called vicious competition in the academy is just to touch the interests of some people, and they are afraid that talents and money will fall into the hands of the imperial court, so they try to stop it in every possible way!"

After a pause, he continued.

"The suspension of private schools is their business. Scholars have no books to read. It's just an excuse. There are so many public academies in the capital that you can transfer to another school. The government office can just do the school registration work, and it can't affect the imperial examination. If it does affect it, it won't affect the imperial examination. What's the deal with the government office? If you don't work hard at ordinary times, you will be blinded at critical times. Without real materials, how can you stand out and win the first place?"

Looking at them, every word is like a knife.

"I suspect that Chu Yushi and others, including external ministers, have been bribed by many academies to protect their own interests and take the opportunity to suppress and prevent Daxia from becoming stronger."

Chu Xuping almost spit out a mouthful of blood in anger. Once he puts on this big hat, the skin on his body will be stripped off and he will be thrown into prison. He hurriedly retorted: "Spurt blood on others!"

Jin Zhijian and others were also anxious and started to defend themselves, claiming that they were dedicated to serving the public good and had no interest in anything with them, let alone being bribed. Everything they did was done with Daxia in mind.

Eee!

The door of the palace opened, and Eunuch Xiao came in with a pile of memorials, half a man tall. Wei Shang came down, took the things and returned again, placing them in the corner of the imperial case.

Emperor Xia took a book and opened it casually. Like the previous two batches, he impeached Zhang Ronghua about reforming the academy. He put down the memorial and said, "I'm tired, let's all go down!"

His Majesty's reaction was within Zhang Ronghua's expectation.

Chu Xuping and the others were stunned, wondering if they had heard wrongly. Seeing that His Majesty closed his eyes and was concentrating, they did not dare to stay any longer. They decided in their hearts that they would launch an attack in the court tomorrow, and they could hide for a while.

Wait for everyone to leave.

Emperor Xia's eyes flashed: "Do you think Qinglin can solve this matter within one day?"

Wei Shang flattered him: "The Marquis is the person your Majesty likes. Others can't do it, but he can't do it!"

Emperor Xia smiled: "Killing two birds with one stone, if Qinglin's reform is successful and promoted in the name of the imperial court, the talents from poor families will be used by me, and the people will be able to bathe in the emperor's favor. In the long run, the place will be stable, and no one will try to riot or spread opposition. My unfavorable rumors don’t need me to take action, and the people can defeat them."

Stretching out his palm, Wei Shang handed over the imperial brush.

Write a line of big characters on the paper - Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. It is majestic and domineering. It is a school of its own and carries a great trend.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your calligraphy has reached the sixth level."

Emperor Xia ordered: "Order someone to frame this painting and give it to Zhang Qin!"

"yes!"

Outside.

Zhang Ronghua made a pun: "Old Wei Ge knows?"

Chu Xuping understood what he meant. He had received so many favors, including his current position. The former had put in a lot of effort. Now that he was betrayed, he would naturally not give up. If he dared to do so, he would not be afraid of revenge. He counterattacked with a cold face: "Master Hou has this energy. You might as well think more about how to get through this hurdle.”

"I am very curious about how Mr. Wei Ge deals with people who cheat on others!"

Zhang Ronghua left with his hands behind his back without even looking at these ministers.

Arrive at Zhuque Gate.

Shi Bo received Ding Yi's message and drove his chariot to wait here.

Got in the car.

Zhang Ronghua ordered: "Go to Bailu Academy."

A hundred feet away.

Surrounded by many scholars, the ones standing at the front were the Confucian scholars. Different from the Confucian scholars in the academy, these people were only highly educated and had no cultivation. Looking at the passing cars, their eyes were spitting fire. Some people The fists were clenched tightly. If looks could kill, Zhang Ronghua would be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts.

Looking closer and closer, the speed of the Tianji car did not slow down, and continued to drive forward, looking like it was going to crush it.

The souls of those who stood in front were frightened, and they hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to stop them. As they retreated, the people behind quickly followed up, making way for a thoroughfare.

Uncle Shi was concentrating on driving. He was not worthy of even taking a look at this group of stupid people.

inside the car.

Zhang Ronghua sipped tea and said to himself that it was a pity that if someone insulted or did something radical, if the charge of assaulting an official of the imperial court was suppressed, they would be killed.

White Deer Academy.

Backyard, study.

An old man and a middle-aged man were sitting across the table. The old man's name was Bai Junyi, and the middle-aged man's name was Bai Anmin. They were the dean. They were father and son.

Although Bailu Academy ranks at the bottom of the five major academies, its power is single. Unlike the former, which is controlled by the five academies, there is only the Bai family. It has been inherited for more than two hundred years and continues to this day. It adheres to the concept of doing knowledge and teaching good disciples, and has a strong academic style. , The relationship between classmates is generally very good, and there are few intrigues.

Bai Anmin asked, "Father, why are you here?"

Bai Junyi is not confused, he is still very smart, his wise eyes flashed, and he arched in the direction of Shangjing Mansion: "Master Hou is coming."

"You don't ask about world affairs, and you are still so well-informed?"

Bai Junyi shook his head: "Guess."

Knowing that his son is puzzled, he patiently guides him.

"Judging from the Marquis's acting style, he will definitely not compromise. With his strong ability, most of them will succeed. No one can stop the reform of the academy. If you are involved in this vortex, you have to take sides even if you don't want to take sides. Presumably, Marquis If you want to break the situation, you can use the academy of the government to solve the problem. However, there are not enough teachers, especially those with rich teaching skills, and cannot accept many scholars. But we are different. We have a long heritage and a strong foundation. To put it more arrogantly, as long as the space is enough, we can The gentlemen cultivated in these years, even if all the scholars in the capital flood in, they can survive in a stable way."

This is the terrifying accumulation of the five academies! It is also the most precious wealth!

Bai Anmin asked again: "Isn't there still a Destiny Academy?"

Bai Junyi sighed: "Miss Yang hasn't come in yet, and her help is limited. If she wants to marry such a talented person, she must be worthy of being one of the best."

"Have you decided?"

Bai Junyi took a sip of tea: "Your personality is suitable for learning, but your political vision is not good, and your methods are even worse! If this continues, there will be no way to stop someone from taking action against us. Taking refuge in the Marquis will offend a large number of people, but the rewards will be very high , from now on, the capital city will be respected by the government office and us, Juluan Academy remains, and every year is worse than every year, and the other three academies cease to exist.”

"So cruel?"

“Don’t be an official if you’re kind-hearted, and don’t hold power if you’re soft-hearted!”

"What if the Marquis fails?"

Bai Junyi smiled slightly: "We, the Bai family, can afford to bet on an academy. If we win, we can board the Marquis's ship. So far, no one in Daxia dares to touch it. Even if dad leaves, with the Marquis' care, you can pass on the academy." "

Bai Anmin lowered his head in shame: "It's useless, I've made you bother!"

Bai Junyi ordered: "Let people open the middle door, sprinkle water, clean, spread red carpets, sprinkle incense, and summon all the vice presidents, scholars and disciples to wear formal clothes and welcome them in the front yard."

"yes!"

As soon as the Tianji car stopped here, the senior academy officials, headed by Bai Junyi, came to greet them from the door.

Uncle Shi put the little horse on the ground.

Zhang Ronghua got out of the car and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling satisfied. There were smart people in White Deer Academy who saw this matter clearly.

Bai Junyi saluted: "I have met the Marquis!"

"No need to be polite."

"The Marquis took time out of his busy schedule to inspect the development of the academy and cared about thousands of scholars, which is admirable!"

Zhang Ronghua said: "It's within the responsibilities."

Bai Junyi made an invitation gesture: "Master Marquis, please!"

Leading the way, they entered the academy on the red carpet and stopped in the backyard lobby.

There were only two of them. Bai Anmin served tea and then left.

Bai Junyi is a good person. Since he decided to take refuge, he was straightforward and decisive without any hesitation. When he saw Zhang Ronghua put down his teacup, he took the initiative to speak: "White Deer Academy will follow the lead of Mr. Hou!"

Very surprised.

Zhang Ronghua took a deep look at him, guessed it, and his smile became brighter. He thought about it and made a promise without being an official fan: "As long as I am here, White Deer Academy will be prosperous."

Bai Junyi stood up: "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

The business talk was finished faster than expected. Zhang Ronghua stayed for a while longer. The more we chatted, the more he felt that his wisdom was extraordinary and he thought highly of him.

Leave in a while.

Bai Junyi led the academy's top management to the door, watched Che Zhu disappear, and smiled happily: "The last worry has finally been resolved."

Go back to the government office.

As soon as he entered the room and before he sat down, Ding Yi hurriedly came in from the outside with an excited look on his face: "Brother, good news!"

He took out a stack of incriminating evidence from his Xumi bag and handed it over.

Take it.

It is very thick, with dozens of sheets in total, recording evidence of the crimes of Changtian Academy, Zhenglin Academy and Taiyi Academy.

The first one records the story of Li Hao. He is very talented in reading. He has studied hard for many years and is very talented. He is about to take the college exam, but he is called by Chang Xuezhi to promise some benefits and order him to work for his elder family. The former does not agree. The following Sanluan resorted to tricks and locked him in. Relying on the relationship behind him, the jailer deliberately mutilated his limbs during interrogation, and released him after serving his sentence.

Read them one by one.

The people recorded in each piece of criminal evidence had almost the same experience as Li Hao. They had excellent grades and were framed by the three academies.

Put these things away.

Zhang Ronghua's face was very cold: "Go and call Mo Qi'an and Lu Jian."

Ding Yi responded and asked someone to pass on the order.

The two rushed over quickly, and saluted with fists together: "I've seen Lord Hou!"

Zhang Ronghua ordered: "You each take a team to Zhenglin Academy and Taiyi Academy, arrest all high-level officials, close the academy, destroy all rebels, and kill some people if necessary."

"Yes (No)!"

Ding Yi asked: "Brother, shall we go to Changtian Academy?"

Zhang Ronghua said: "Let's go!"

He quickly left with a battalion of soldiers.

Looking at the three people who came in, Chang Xuezhi frowned: "Where is Vice President Gao?"

Vice President Dou said: "I didn't see it."

I didn't think much about it, maybe there was some delay, and I didn't know that Gao Qiangwen fled the battle.

Chang Xuezhi asked: "Has the Marquis of Nancheng fallen?"

Vice President Dou shook his head: "There was news from the palace that Master Chu had a confrontation with him in the imperial study. Master Jin suggested that Zhang Ronghua should be dismissed from all official positions and demoted to a commoner. Your Majesty used the excuse of being "tired" to delay the time. The outcome has been decided. It can't affect the overall situation, and we will launch an attack in the court tomorrow, and His Majesty will have no excuse to delay."

Chang Xuezhi smiled proudly while stroking his beard, and said sarcastically: "Who does he think he is if he wants to single-handedly change the structure of the academy? Even His Majesty would not dare to act rashly."

The three agreed, as if seeing Zhang Ronghua's downfall, they smiled happily.

A great scholar looked panicked and ran in hurriedly. Before he could speak, Chang Xuezhi put on the dean's air and shouted: "Where are the etiquette? Where did you throw them?"

"Nan, the Marquis of Nancheng brought people here, and also surrounded the academy, and broke in violently!"

Chang Xuezhi stood up abruptly and roared, "He dares!"

Zhang Ronghua came in from outside: "Why don't you dare?"

If you don't see the person, you don't know how scary it is.

He was so arrogant before, but now he is so cowardly. Chang Xuezhi took three steps back in fear. When he came back to his senses, he felt ashamed for his fear. He remembered the law of Daxia and said righteously: " As an official ordered by the imperial court, he led troops into the academy for no reason, knowingly broke the law, and the crime is aggravated, the dean will sue you at the Metropolitan Procuratorate later!"

Zhang Ronghua stepped forward. Every time he took a step, he took a step back. The other three people hid on the side. They agreed to advance and retreat together. When disaster came, they flew away separately. They retreated to the corner. There was no way to retreat. Chang Xuezhi stopped. , trembling violently because of fear: "You... what do you want to do?"

"When bullying the weak, have you ever thought about Daxia's law? Did you remember it when you met someone you couldn't afford?"

"nonsense……!"

boom!

As soon as he said two words, Zhang Ronghua kicked him in the face roughly.

"Ah..." Chang Xuezhi screamed, smashed two chairs and fell to the ground.

A wave of his hand.

Zhang Ronghua ordered: "Take it!"

The soldiers rushed forward, two of them were holding one of them, and they were tied directly to him with iron chains.

"Search Changtian Academy and transport the property, account books, etc. back to the government office!"

Chang Xuezhi's eyes burst into flames: "It's too much to bully others!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Ronghua kicked him unconscious.

Ding Yi ordered people to do it, and fierce noises came from outside. Some great scholars and disciples attacked the soldiers and tried to stop them. They scolded them excessively and shouted all kinds of unpleasant words.

Zhang Ronghua's eyes were cold: "Go over."
