220. I Extend the Life of the Dynasty (Part 1) (Page 1/2)

"good!"

Seeing Cui Xian take the Qiuzhen jade, Huan Ying's old face was full of wrinkles with smile.

He shook Cui Xian's hand tremblingly, his whole body filled with joy: "The Book of Changes says, 'The yellow robe is extremely auspicious, and the culture is in the middle.' Now I have a talent like a unicorn and a phoenix. It is truly the blessing of Yuelu for a hundred years!"

"Confucius once lamented, 'The phoenix has not yet arrived,' yet we now see the celestial hubs radiant with light and the earth veins auspicious. Isn't this a reflection of the verse in the Book of Documents, 'Heaven and man have been made to work for us.'"

"I wish you to hold this jade sceptre and follow the example of the Zhou Li, 'using the gnomon to correct the sun's shadow', for all the students in the world..."

Speaking of this.

The old man's frail figure swayed slightly, and then he took a deep breath and said seriously, "Set your mind on the right path, and open the window to enlightenment!"

How satisfied must he be with Cui Xian to express such a blessing in public!

The old Confucian scholars who cried and begged Huan Ying to "revoke his decision" were so shocked that they were speechless.

At this moment, they finally realized——

Mr. Huan Ying is serious!

He was determined to pass on the position of headmaster to Cui Xian!

Everyone was shocked.

Only Cui Xian noticed that Mr. Huan Ying's thin body was staggering and almost falling.

He quickly supported Huan Ying and heard the old man chuckle softly, "Don't make a sound. Follow me back to the academy."

"good."

Cui Xian nodded calmly, carefully supported Huan Ying, and walked down from the debate platform.

Dong Lai, Ban Lin and Xun Zhang looked at each other and quickly followed.

They boarded the carriage one after another, and then slowly left under the gazes of countless people.

Until a long time later.

A sharp voice cut through the air: "How can the traitor Cui Xian, a child, be the head of Yuelu Mountain? We will oppose it to the death!"

These words completely ignited the anger and frustration that had been accumulating among the old Confucian scholars for a long time!

Under the horrified gaze of countless people.

Hundreds of old Confucian scholars formed a parade team, angrily denouncing the Confucian thief Cui Xian while heading towards the Kaifeng government office.

The most serious literati riot during the Jiahe period has begun!

The people who were there to watch the fun realized that something was wrong and fled from this dangerous place in a hurry.

Even Pei Jian, Zhuang Jin and others did not dare to show off. They escorted Lao Cui and others and left urgently!

Only a few young scholars were left, wandering among the crowd in confusion and helplessness.

The old scholars' hysterical curses.

The cries of frightened children.

The squeezed shoes, books, pens and ink were scattered all over the floor.

Outside the previously bustling and bustling Kaifeng Prefecture School, suddenly—

It's a complete mess!

Panic spread among the crowd.

In the panic, no one noticed that the Daxiangguo Temple, which had been bustling with incense all year round, suddenly closed its gates!

A little later.

Kaifeng County School announced a strike.

Not long after.

Kaifeng Prefecture School announced a strike.

Academies and schools in the city followed suit.

Then, countless study rooms closed during the day.

A large number of old Confucian scholars and scholars in Confucian robes took to the streets, shouting slogans such as "Oppose the traitor Cui Xian to succeed the position of the principal", "Defend the Book of Documents to the death", and "Execute the heretic Cui Xian".

The entire city of Kaifeng was alarmed.

Every common people feels insecure.

To the end.

Outside the Kaifeng County Government Office and the Prefecture Government Office, there were many scholars who came to ask for favors!

The fire of Confucian thought reform finally ignited completely!

Inside the county government office.

The Kaifeng County Magistrate's face turned pale. He ignored the deafening shouts outside, trembling as he took off his black hat and prepared to write a letter of resignation.

What a coincidence.

In the Kaifeng government office, the prefect was doing the same thing.

Since the chieftain Huan Ying admitted defeat, the error of "Shang Shu" was finally determined, and he even wanted to pass the position of chieftain to Cui Xianqi.

These two veteran officials were mentally prepared.

run!

The water is too deep here.

If you don't run now, you might not even be able to keep your 'whole body'!

Because Kaifeng will soon become the center of the "Confucian classics storm" in Daliang. The eyes of the literary world, officialdom, gentry, and even His Majesty will all look here!

In order to buy myself time to "escape".

The Kaifeng prefect issued a notice: It has been confirmed that within seven days at the latest, the former Sichuan Provincial Surveillance Commissioner Cen Hongchang will rush to Kaifeng, Henan, to serve as the Governor of Henan.

And this new governor is a staunch believer in the ancient text and classics school!

Very good!

As long as Lord Cen is here, Cui Xian will never be able to inherit the position of the principal of Yuelu Academy!

The old scholars cried with joy.

Among them, an old scholar remembered something and cried, "The governor and I were classmates. We both studied in Yuelu!"

"As a student of Yuelu, Master Cen will definitely not watch that traitor Cui Xian succeed the position of the headmaster!"

What?

The new governor was once a student at Yuelu?!

Cui Xian, the thief, don't be so arrogant!

The person who is going to take you away is here!

Zhuangyuan Lane, Cui family.

The situation outside was chaotic and urgent, causing all the members of the Cui family, including Pei Jian and others, to turn pale with anxiety.

Bodyguard Dashan reported the latest news: "Those scholars have surrounded the county and prefectural government offices, trying to pressure the government and attack the young master!"

What should I do?

Chen was so worried about her son's safety that she immediately asked, "Mom! Can we give away the thousands of pounds of frosting we have?"

"Once frosting enters the market, a large amount of capital will flow back. We can then recruit workers and build a sugar factory! By then, as Xian'er said, even if the Henan Provincial Governor comes, he won't be able to easily touch our family."

Hearing Chen's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

But Mrs. Cui didn't say anything.

She was so panicked that her hands were shaking, but since Xian Ge'er was not around, she was the backbone of the family and she had to stand up!

What daughter-in-law Chen said seemed to be fine.

But Old Cui keenly felt that the cards had to be played one by one in order to maximize the benefits!

The most urgent thing is that the Cui family’s greatest reliance has never been icing.

But——

Official report!

Kaifeng is in chaos!

So, regarding Cui Xian's debate, the content of the debate, including Mr. Huan Ying's succession, must be announced to the whole of Daliang as soon as possible!

It must be announced word for word and in full.

Once you are slow to act and are slandered by people with ulterior motives, it will be difficult to explain yourself even if you are right.

Seizing the mouthpiece of public opinion is the top priority!

"No, you listen to me. Tonight, everyone must go out and print the latest issue of the official newspaper!"

"Brother Jian, take your men and go buy ink and paper throughout Kaifeng! Eldest wife, go and urgently recruit a group of printing workers. Second wife, go and buy two more printing houses."

"In extraordinary times, we must prepare in advance."

"Big brother and second brother, you two will be responsible for supervising the craftsmen to print the official newspaper."

Old Cui took a deep breath, and her thoughts became clearer as she spoke: "Tomorrow morning, we will distribute the new issue of 'Bianliang Gazette' for free throughout Kaifeng!"

"Remember, after the official report is sent out, everyone, return home immediately!"

"Once this issue of the official newspaper is released, the enemies lurking in the shadows will target the Cui family and their printing house!"

"Now that Brother Xian is not here, I, the old woman, am in charge."

"The printing house and the sugar factory can be discarded! But everyone present here is the most important. I want to protect you for Brother Xian."

Although Mrs. Cui's words were trembling, they were powerful.

The group of people who were originally in a panic stared at her blankly, and for some reason, they became much calmer.

Because at this moment, Old Cui really looks like Cui Xian!

According to Mr. Cui's instructions, everyone did their job and got busy.

In the main hall.

Old Cui sat like this from the afternoon until dark.

Xian Ge'er never came back.

The news coming back from Dashan was getting worse and worse.

When night falls.

Kaifeng was suddenly covered with dark clouds and it started to rain.

This summer rainstorm came suddenly.

Dark clouds loomed overhead and strong winds blew fiercely.

Old Cui sat in the main hall, looking at the night sky outside with heavy rain, her old eyes were full of determination and resoluteness!

Don't be afraid, Brother Xian.

In this level, your grandmother and the whole family will accompany you to get through it!
