In an instant, the atmosphere reached a climax and the shouting became extremely loud.

Zhong Yu was feeling relieved, but also a little worried, so he stretched out his hands and pressed them down, wanting to say something.

He originally thought it would have no effect, but unexpectedly, just by stretching out his hand and pressing it, the students around him instantly quieted down.

This is a manifestation of prestige.

Even Zhong Yuzheng hadn't expected this. He felt very relieved in his heart that this day had finally come.

In the past, when Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou, and others were in power, they had the final say in Shoushan Academy. Now, it's finally his turn! And his prestige has finally reached its peak!

After having this feeling, Zhong Yuzheng couldn't help but feel a little elated. He cleared his throat and said, "I already know that all of you students are sincerely willing to serve your country. Your arrival today is a blessing for my Shoushan Academy and for me, Zhong. It is a testament to the contribution of my Ming Dynasty culture and education!"

Zhong Yu was talking endlessly, and as he spoke, he actually went back to his student days and began to talk about his views on scholars and the way of sages. He never stopped talking.

Ruan Dacheng on the side was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, and he felt terrible.

If they were to gather these people together, it would be a big trouble. But Ruan Dacheng had no good solution. He couldn't interrupt Zhong Yuzheng in this situation.

If he interrupted Zhong Yuzheng at this moment and expressed his opinion, he would probably become the target of public criticism. In such a situation, this kind of thing must not be done, and he had to think of other ways.

Ruan Dacheng glanced back and suddenly found Cui Chengxiu.

Ruan Dacheng walked towards Cui Chengxiu quietly.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Zhong Yuzheng, and no one paid any attention to Ruan Dacheng. This allowed him to easily reach Cui Chengxiu.

"Sir Cui, what's going on?" Ruan Dacheng looked at Cui Chengxiu and asked anxiously.

Glancing at Ruan Dacheng, Cui Chengxiu said unhappily, "I still want to know what's going on."

"What is Zhong Yu talking about? Is he talking nonsense?"

Ruan Dacheng shook his head and said, "No."

Ruan Dacheng still dared to say this. After all, Zhong Yuzheng was in high spirits and was talking about his outlook on life and ideals.

Zhong Yuzheng had been teaching at Shoushan Academy for many years, so he naturally had a fondness for teaching. He had never had so many admirers in his life, nor had so many people attended his lectures, so it was natural that he couldn't stop talking when he started.

However, Ruan Dacheng was sure that Zhong Yuzheng would not speak nonsense.

In Ruan Dacheng's eyes, Zhong Yuzheng is just a bookworm, old-fashioned and upright, and can be regarded as an old scholar.

Cui Chengxiu nodded and said, "That's good! You must do your best to maintain the situation here and absolutely no chaos can occur. Do you understand?"

Ruan Dacheng nodded and asked, "Master Cui, did you gain anything from your visit to the palace?"

Hearing this, Cui Chengxiu's face suddenly turned ugly. He glared at Ruan Dacheng, and was actually very angry with Ruan Dacheng.

If it weren't for this guy, why would so many things happen?

Now, His Majesty is still considering it, but there's already a commotion outside. How will His Majesty view me? Will he say I'm incompetent?

If I had handled things properly, how could it have become such a mess? The bigger the mess, the more trouble I'll have to bear. All of this is Ruan Dacheng's fault!

Ruan Dacheng didn't know that Cui Chengxiu had blamed him, and still looked at Cui Chengxiu with expectation.

In Ruan Dacheng's opinion, this matter was not difficult to resolve. As long as the palace gave a guarantee, it would be no big deal at all. When the time came, these people would naturally disperse.

But Ruan Dacheng also knew that the difficulty lay in this point: His Majesty might not agree. If someone said something in front of His Majesty, the consequences would be unpredictable.

So Ruan Dacheng was looking forward to seeing Cui Chengxiu, hoping that Cui Chengxiu could bring him good news.

After all, Ruan Dacheng also knew Cui Chengxiu's identity, and he also had connections in the palace.

Apart from other things, Wei Zhongxian, the head of the East Factory, was very close to Cui Chengxiu. If Wei Zhongxian had spoken up for him, this matter might not have been impossible.

"Your Majesty didn't say anything, just said he'd consider it." Cui Chengxiu looked at Ruan Dacheng, sighed, and said, "Even if there was originally a plan for success, with this group of people making such a fuss, there's no telling what the outcome will be."
