Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 385: Ruan Dacheng hooks up with Cui Chengxiu

Judging from the current situation in the court, Cui Chengxiu's influence is very small, even insignificant. Compared with the other bigwigs, he is not even on the stage.

However, there must be a reason why Cui Chengxiu was able to be promoted so quickly. It could be that Wei Zhongxian contributed to it, or it could be that His Majesty took a liking to him.

In any case, this is a step that can be taken. As long as I can get on top of Cui Chengxiu, I will be able to advance.

As long as he entered the officialdom, Ruan Dacheng believed that with his abilities, he would have a bright future.

He had been thinking about what to do.

As the news of the academy reform spread, Ruan Dacheng knew immediately that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to make Cui Chengxiu accept him.

I have also found a way to advance myself. If I can do this well and become famous, I might even attract the attention of His Majesty.

The damage was nothing more than a bit of reputation, which Ruan Dacheng didn't care too much about. Besides, reputation is something that can be lost here and recovered there, so the loss won't be too great.

When the reform of the Royal Academy is completed, I will be the pioneer in advocating for the reform of the academy. Those students who were originally supposed to study in the academy will definitely support me. This is something that has been determined since their birth.

By that time, he would have earned back all his reputation and reputation. People like Wei Dazhong could just use it as a token of his loyalty.

The two of them looked at each other with ulterior motives and smiled.

Ruan Dacheng took a sip of tea and said, "I am so anxious because I have something else I want to tell Master Cui."

"What's the matter?" Cui Chengxiu asked hurriedly.

"Ever since word spread that the imperial court was going to reform the academies, some people have speculated that it would start with Shoushan Academy. Now, those with ulterior motives have begun planning their opposition."

"They want to gather people to express their disagreement, refuse to accept the court's reforms, and refuse to give up their land. They also want to oppose the court's reform of the academy and make a big fuss so that all scholars will join in."

"If this happens, the imperial court will inevitably be cautious and cancel this reform." Ruan Dacheng said with a sullen face, "After receiving this news, I can no longer sit still."

"These people, for their own selfish interests, disregard the greater good of the court. They are truly a disgrace to the nation! They are misleading the country and its people!"
