235. A Gentleman's Revenge, From Morning to Night (Part 1) (Page 1/2)

This encirclement and suppression of Cui Xian ended with everyone except Cui Xian being "collectively injured".

It's... it's really hard to hold on.

The celestial official who came from the capital returned to Kaifeng City to rest after a short stay.

The Censor defecated several large amounts of urine in public and left in disgrace.

How happy the old scholars in the mountains were laughing before they came.

How miserable it was to cry when leaving.

As for the common people who came to join in the fun, they even shouted—

It’s not in vain, it’s not in vain!

After all, when they went down the mountain, County Magistrate Zhang was still kneeling miserably outside the mountain gate.

Hundreds of murderous officials from the Censorate put down their butcher knives and were busy repairing the mountain gate for Yuelu.

You don't usually see such a scene.

As the absolute 'protagonist' today, Cui Xian, the new headmaster of Yuelu, has become famous overnight!

The excitement has ended.

However, I think the shocking news that "Your Majesty personally supports Cui Shanzhang" will spread quickly by word of mouth and shock countless ordinary people.

Outside the mountain gate.

Xu Ning, Liu Chong and Ye Huaifeng were saying goodbye to Cui Xian.

"Yuelu is in trouble today, and I'm grateful to the three of you for coming to help."

Cui Xian smiled and cupped his hands: "I will remember this friendship in my heart."

Hearing this, the three of them were overjoyed.

As Liu Chong stared dumbfoundedly, Xu Ning pulled out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Cui Xian with a smile: "My family has been guarding Henan for some time, and we have some understanding of Henan's officialdom."

"You will inevitably have to deal with these people in the future. With this booklet, it will be much easier to do things."

Obviously, this is a register that records the information of all officials, big and small, in Henan.

Liu Chong: “…”

No, isn’t that what everyone wants to improve?

Cui Xian took the booklet and said with a smile, "Thank you, eunuch."

Xu Ning smiled and waved his hand with a very friendly attitude.

Unlike the promotions of civil officials and military commanders, the competition among eunuchs was brutal.

Or rather, brutality.

If you can't climb up, you will die.

Although Xu Ning was a eunuch guarding a province, the ancestor of the Imperial Household Department had countless godsons, so he had no chance of getting a rank.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent to Henan.

However, Henan produced a Wenquxing who was favored by the emperor, Cui Xian.

As long as I have a good relationship with Cui Xian now.

The next day he went all the way from Kaifeng to Beijing and entered the court.

Then Xu Ning would naturally be able to obtain an "admission ticket" to enter the Imperial Household Department.

Similarly, Ye Huaifeng also took advantage of Cui Xian's power today and was classified into the "Prime Minister Camp", so he had the confidence to kick Zhang Sai and fight Zhou Xiang.

It’s easy to be an official if you have someone in the court!

Only Liu Chong seemed to come to help, but it seemed that he did not help at all.

No progress at all!

With his qualifications, if he couldn't cling to Cui Xian, the "golden thigh", it would be almost impossible for him to move up.

From the third rank to the third rank, it seems that there is only one step difference.

In fact, it is like a chasm.

Therefore, it's time to leave.

Only Councillor Liu was reluctant to leave, holding Cui Xian's hand tightly and refusing to let go: "Maybe I drank too much tea instead of wine just now, and I actually felt a little tipsy."

"I think it would be more enjoyable to drink with the headmaster."

"Headmaster, let's keep in touch in the future."

Cui Xian couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay."

Only then did Liu Chong feel relieved and left with Xu Ning and Ye Huaifeng.

When they were leaving, the three of them turned back in tacit understanding and looked at the young mountain chief standing outside the mountain gate, with a figure as tall and straight as a pine or bamboo, and they were filled with admiration in their hearts.

...So young!

After expressing his feelings, Xu Ning smiled and said, "Mr. Cui may seem amiable, but he is actually a man who refuses to suffer any loss."

"I'm afraid many people will suffer next."

Hearing this.

Ye Huaifeng, Liu Chong and Xu Ning looked at each other, and all three of them showed the smile of the "winner".

One word: awesome!

Academy.

After seeing off Ye Huaifeng and the other two, Cui Xian turned around and saw hundreds of young students from Yuelu staring at him with sparkling eyes.

Even dozens of Yuelu old teachers, all dressed in their proper attire, stood at the front of the students.

Waiting for the principal's lecture.

Cui Xian handled today's crisis perfectly.

So handsome!

He conquered all the teachers and students of Yuelu.

This is what a headmaster should look like!

However.

Cui Xian looked at hundreds of teachers and students, nodded slightly, and finally walked into the courtyard.

Leaving the teachers and students with a cold back.

Hundreds of teachers and students looked bewildered.

What's going on?

Why did the headmaster leave without saying a word?

Pei Jian looked at them sympathetically: "No way, no way."

"You don't think that just because your headmaster performed so well today and passed your test, you can let him become your headmaster, right?"

"I've told you before, once your headmaster stands there, you'll all have to follow him around and show your courtesy."

"So, the rules of the game are: you, from now on, find a way to gain your headmaster's approval, pass his test, and get him to acknowledge you."

"Understand?"

A group of Yuelu teachers and students were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Gao Qi gloated beside him: "Think about it, it's been nearly ten days since the old headmaster passed away."

"From the instructors to the students, who has ever taken the initiative to look for your headmaster? Who has ever taken the initiative to call him headmaster?"

"Even now, I haven't told him what your names are or how many people are in the academy."

"Then why would he acknowledge you?"

"You even dared to acknowledge him!"

Yan Siyuan made his final summary, looked at the group of ashamed teachers and students, and said coldly: "What a bunch of hypocritical men!"

"It's too low!"

Hundreds of "lower-headed men" were scolded, their faces flushed red, and they obeyed in timidity, full of regret.

Who knew at the beginning that Xinshan would be so vigorous?

The other side.

Outside the headmaster's house.

The four gentlemen, Ji Fu, Ban Lin, Xun Zhang and Dong Lai, were waiting for Cui Xian.

beside.

There was a simple and heavy four-horse carriage parked there.

That was the carriage that Huan Ying used when he traveled around the country to give lectures. Today, it has been passed down to the new principal.

"Look, I told you, my apprentice can handle this kind of small situation."

Seeing Cui Xian return, Mr. Donglai said with a smile, "Since you are leaving the mountain, take off your mourning clothes. Before Duke Huan passed away, he had two sets of clothes made for you."

"Having inherited the position of headmaster, you now have status. From now on, when you go out, you must dress more solemnly and formally."

Earlier, Zhang Sai broke into the room, and during this crisis, none of the four gentlemen showed up.

Because guarding the mountain gate is the mountain chief's duty.

Mr. Ban Lin and Mr. Xun Zhang, holding two sets of clothes in their hands, smiled at Cui Xian and said, "Try them on."

Cui Xian bowed towards the place where Duke Huan was buried.

With the help of several gentlemen, he took off his white mourning clothes and put on the new clothes prepared by Duke Huan.

It was a solemn dark blue robe.

The collar, cuffs and hem are decorated with patterns of pine, bamboo and plum respectively.

The three friends of winter symbolize the integrity of a gentleman and the style of a scholar's writing.

The robe is lined with water and cloud patterns, surrounded by pine, bamboo and plum.

All rivers flow and eventually flow into the sea.

The cultural heritage is long and the thoughts are like clouds.

On the chest, a jade sceptre was embroidered with silk thread of the same color.

That is the symbol of Yuelu Mountain, the pursuit of real jade.

The mountain breeze blew into the courtyard.

Cui Xian, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood beside the carriage, his wide sleeves and hem swaying in the wind.

The embroidered patterns of clouds and water flow.

It is as if the millennium cultural heritage and the tide of thought of the times are draped over the body.

Cui Xian was already tall, fair and handsome, and now wearing this new dress, he looked even more calm and steady.

He has the demeanor of a dean of a temple!

The four gentlemen were very satisfied.

Dong Lai looked a little dazed. In the blink of an eye, his little apprentice had already started to be the head of the academy!

That’s great, that’s great.

He subconsciously wanted to touch his apprentice's head, but then realized it was inappropriate.

So, he awkwardly patted Cui Xian's shoulder and said with a pleased smile, "It's very handsome. It fits you very well."

"Go, go down the mountain. Go, take your own path."

Nanyang lay dormant for five years.

Once opened, the world was shocked.

Next, it is Cui Xian’s era!

Cui Xian bowed and said with a smile, "Teacher, please escort me to the mountain gate."

Okay, okay!

Young birds fly high and young tigers roar in the valley.

These old guys really deserve to be sent off.

So, accompanied by four gentlemen, Cui Xian walked towards the mountain gate.

later.

Four horses pulled the carriage and followed slowly.

When they walked to the front yard and saw Cui Xian walking out in the dean's robe, everyone's eyes widened.

Then they all bowed their heads and saluted.

What's the meaning?

The headmaster is going down the mountain?

This is too fierce. After solving a crisis, he is going down the mountain to settle accounts?

A gentleman takes revenge from morning to night!

Stimulate!

Cui Xian did not respond. He walked up to Old Cui and said with a smile, "Grandma, please wait a few days."

"Grandson, please go down the mountain first. There are a few small matters that need to be taken care of."

"Then, it will be up to you, Grandmother, to lead the entire family into battle. Be prepared to go all out and work hard for the rise of the Cui family!"

These words made Old Cui and others excited.

The Cui family has been waiting for this moment!

Beside them, Zhuang Jin, Gao Qi, Pei Jian, Su Qi and others straightened their clothes and looked at Cui Xian eagerly.

Brother Xian, look at us, look at us!

We also want to go down the mountain with you and kill everyone!

Cui Xian's eyes swept over them one by one. After a moment's thought, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhuang Jin, Brother Gao Qi, come with me."

Zhuang Jin and Gao Qi were so happy that they almost fainted.

Ignoring the murderous looks of Pei Jian and the others, they happily jumped onto the carriage.

Then, Cui Xian looked at the unlucky student who had nearly been stabbed today and asked, "Can you make tea?"

The student was stunned for a moment.

Then he realized what was happening, baring his teeth and grinning foolishly: "Yes, yes, students can do it! Not only can they make tea, but they can also make the bed, fold the quilt, change clothes and tie hair!"

"Headmaster, I will do anything for you!"

As he spoke, he was afraid that Cui Xian would go back on his word.

Under the envious and jealous gazes of countless students, he jumped onto the carriage in a hurry with a flushed face.

The sun sets.

The sky is filled with rosy clouds.

The mountains are all red and the forests are dyed red.

Under the gazes of countless people, Cui Xian, dressed in a dark blue robe, boarded the carriage.

He stood in the car and turned around to look at the hundreds of Yuelu teachers and students who were staring at him eagerly, and said with a smile: "During the period when I am away, all students must study hard and work hard all year round."

Hearing this, hundreds of teachers and students in Yuelu shed tears of emotion.

Family members, who understands!

The headmaster is finally willing to discipline us!

However, the next moment, their headmaster smiled and continued, "When we return, we will give you all a learning test."

The students' expressions suddenly became tense.

"Including the teachers in the academy."

Now, a group of gray-haired teachers also lost their composure!

After these two sentences stunned all the teachers and students in the school.

He leaned over and got into the carriage.

At the mountain gate.

Dong Lai, his hair gradually turning gray, waved towards his disciple and said, "Master, I have something to say to you."

Cui Xian lifted the car curtain and pretended to listen.

result.

Mr. Donglai thought for a long time, then finally smiled with relief. He looked at his most proud disciple and said, "Mencius, Li Lou Part 2, says: 'A great man is one who retains the innocence of a child.'"

Cui Xian was slightly stunned.

In fact, this sentence, in his time and space, can be translated as:

May you travel for half your life and still be a young man when you return.

This is probably the most sincere blessing a teacher can give to his apprentice.

Cui Xian looked at Dong Lai and bowed earnestly: "I will keep this in mind."

"drive!"

The driver blew a clear whistle, and the four-horse carriage with the "Yuelu" flag hanging on it officially set off on its journey under the rosy clouds.

After months of being abused by the "traitors" and persecuted by all sides——

Cui Xian, the head of Yuelu Mountain, came down the mountain to give lectures.
