Chapter 97 Xiuyuan, I believe you!

Chu Yian was really pissed off.

Chu Xiuyuan has been an official for many years and loves to criticize the emperor in the court whenever he has nothing to do. Does he really not realize how badly he has offended the emperor?

The reason why we didn't kill him before was because we were afraid of giving people a reason to criticize us and being condemned by scholars all over the world, but it is not difficult to find a reason to punish him.

The emperor's patience with him has obviously reached its limit, and this time he will definitely demote Chu Xiuyuan.

Not only do we need to devalue it, we need to devalue it severely.

I just think her suggestion is okay. Promoting Chu Xiuyuan to a higher position and sending him far away will not only avoid giving people a chance to talk about him, but people might even praise him for his magnanimity.

Otherwise, considering what Chu Xiuyuan has done over the years, how could he still stand in front of her and accuse her so confidently?

Chu Yian stared at Chu Xiuyuan. The more she looked, the more she felt that this man was really ungrateful. She should have followed the emperor's words and asked him to banish Chu Xiuyuan from Shengjing and send him away.

With any luck, they won't have to see each other again in this life.

Seeing the anger in Chu Yian's eyes, Chu Xiuyuan's anger froze on his face, and he felt a little confused.

Huh? Is... is that so?

Did he misunderstand Chu Yian?

But the next second, Chu Xiuyuan stiffened his neck and said, "Jinheling is too far away anyway, and it's very cold in winter. You can definitely suggest to the emperor that I go to a better place."

"I'm already this old, and my health has not improved in recent years. I don't know if I can make it to Jinheling alive."

Chu Xiuyuan felt very aggrieved and had no hope for the future. He felt that he would die in a foreign land sooner or later, and he couldn't help but sob softly.

Even if Chu Yian resented him, they were still family after all.

He didn't say anything when she instigated Hua to divorce him. He really hadn't considered his family's feelings over the years.

But he was slowly changing, trying to make Fahrenheit accept him again.

But who knew that at this critical moment the emperor would suddenly order him to leave Beijing, and go to such a remote place.

If he really went there, Chu Xiuyuan felt that he would die on the way.

Even if he was lucky enough to reach Jinheling, it would be difficult to survive there. It was poor and cold there. He was used to living in Shengjing, so how could he get used to the weather there?

Chu Xiuyuan felt very aggrieved. Chu Yian was his daughter! How could he be so cruel?

Chu Yian, listening to Chu Xiuyuan crying softly: ...

Chu Yian took a deep breath. This was only because Chu Xiuyuan was her father now. If it was anyone else, she would have slapped him in the face.

Chu Yian endured and endured, suppressing the evil fire in his heart. After that, he patted Chu Xiuyuan's shoulder and said earnestly: "Xiuyuan, although I haven't witnessed what you have done in the court over the years, you should know that the emperor hates you very much."

"But the emperor still promoted you and sent you to Jinheling. Do you know why?"

Chu Xiuyuan was even more upset, and his crying stopped: "What did you call me? I'm your dad!!"

Chu Yian sighed and said earnestly: "It's not important. Look, although Jinheling is farther away, colder, poorer, and the people are more fierce..."

Chu Xiuyuan wanted to cry again.

Chu Yian said quickly, "But there's the most fertile land over there. As long as we can get through that period, when summer comes, count on your fingers how many places can be as cool as over there."

"We can't just look at the surface of things, nor can we focus on the bad aspects."

"Listen, work hard when you get there. Xiuyuan, you're a very talented person. What was the name of the guy who was the top scorer in the high school entrance exam two years ago?"

Chu Xiuyuan wiped his eyes and choked up, "You Xuanyu."

"Yes, that's You Xuanyu. He was able to successfully become the top scorer in the imperial examination thanks to your guidance. Don't you think it's a waste of your talent to be in a place like Shengjing?"

"Why? Because most of the people who come to Shengjing have already completed their studies and are here to take the palace examination."

"Everyone else has their own teachers. There are four major academies around Shengjing, and most of the students go to those academies."

"Xiuyuan, I know you're better at educating the people than being a censor, but where exactly do we need education more?"

"That's right, Jinheling!"

Chu Xiuyuan: ...Don’t fool me, seriously.

Chu Yian was very disappointed: "Don't you think it's meaningless to guide students who have already achieved academic success? Even if they get your guidance, they won't say you are their teacher when they go out."

"Of course you have to start from scratch. Don't you think it would be more fulfilling to train someone from scratch to become a Jinshi?"

"Although you are leaving Beijing today, many people may laugh at you, but I know you don't care at all, Dad."

"What do other people's opinions have to do with you? Dad, why was the emperor ordered you to leave the capital? It's because my father has a spirit that no one else has."

Seeing Chu Yian stop, Chu Xiuyuan swallowed his saliva, his eyes lit up with anticipation, and asked: "What spirit?"

Meeting Chu Xiuyuan's gaze, Chu Yian spoke more earnestly, and patted his shoulder even harder: "How can I bow my head and serve the rich and powerful, and make me unhappy? That's why you left Beijing."

"But I believe that before long, you will return to the capital with your countless accomplished students. Then you will let those who mock you see clearly who is right!"

"Xiuyuan, forty is the perfect age to strive for success! Don't waste your time, and I believe my judgment will be correct!"

"You will surely accomplish great things, bringing honor to us, your children, and enabling us to speak to others with dignity in the future."

Qin Huaishu, who was sitting nearby, said: ...

I always feel that his sister-in-law's eyes are so determined that they reveal a kind of evil spirit.

This is also the ability to brainwash.

Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Yian, and Chu Yian nodded heavily at him, his eyes full of trust in him and unwavering determination.

Chu Xiuyuan's eyes became moist again.

It turns out that his daughter trusts him so much...

He suddenly felt that the road ahead was not so difficult, at least it was no longer a sea of ​​fire and swords.

It seems that going to Jinheling is the only way to better realize his life value.

Chu Yian was right. He was sent away just because he didn't want to please the emperor.

It's not that he is incompetent, but that he is unwilling to go along with others and serve the powerful.

But with his ability, he couldn't stay in Jinheling forever. Sooner or later, he would have to return to Shengjing.

When that time comes, he will come back in glory and tell everyone that even though he, Chu Xiuyuan, has gone to such a far place, he can live a good life and even achieve some achievements.

Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips, and a hint of determination gradually appeared in his eyes.

He also raised his hand and patted Chu Yian's shoulder heavily, without any more questioning in his tone.

"Yi An, I was sorry for you in the past, but I already know I was wrong. I don't know when we will meet again. Please take good care of your mother for me."

"Take good care of yourself in Shengjing and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Yian deeply, turned around and walked away without looking back, his steps steady and firm, even his back straightened.

Chu Yian: ...

Chu Yian breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending Old Deng away.

She didn't expect Chu Xiuyuan to achieve anything great, as long as he didn't cause trouble or oppress the people.

Chu Yian just wanted to send the man away quickly, but what she never expected was that the excitement today was so strong that Chu Xiuyuan really started to carry out drastic education after he went to Jinheling.

Thanks to his long-term persistence, he really achieved some results and brought a lot of useful talents to Dashun.

But that’s all in the past.

Chu Yian calculated the time and realized that he had brainwashed Chu Xiuyuan for too long, and the incense stick was about to expire.

She had to go back quickly.

The moment he turned around, he remembered that his elder brother was sitting here. Chu Yian turned his head to look at Qin Huaishu, and then saw Qin Huaishu's complicated expression.

Chu Yian's old face turned red. He saluted him slightly, turned around and ran away very quickly.
