"Have you finished the last matter?" Mo Liao asked in a deep voice.
"How can it fail if the people from the Black Mountain Sect take action?" Tan Xuan said confidently, "The poison is chronic. Within a month, everyone in the Jingnan Palace will be dead!"
"Yeah!" Mo Liao nodded with satisfaction.
In addition to Chu Younan, King Jingnan is also a major hidden danger. As for Su Bei, I heard that she is the descendant of the Snow Girl of the North. Whoever gets the Snow Girl will get the world. I don’t know if this is true or not, but killing her is definitely the right thing to do! ——
Prince Jingnan's Palace.
The news that Prince Su and his wife were going to open an academy spread quickly throughout Tongcheng, but the problem was that the land was too difficult to buy, and ready-made courtyards were even harder to buy.
Everyone knew that Prince Su and his wife had lived in the capital for a long time, and they would most likely go to their fiefdoms, and would definitely not stay in Tongcheng for long. If the land was sold to them, it would most likely lead to Yue Xian's revenge after they left.
So on the first day, there was a long line outside the gate of Yuejian Academy, demanding compensation and dropping out of school. But after a few days, there were fewer and fewer people.
First, people understood this truth, and second, Yuejian Academy introduced a new policy to reduce and exempt tuition fees by one year.
Chu Younan and Su Bei were very worried. Could it be that they were going to lose? At this moment, Master Duan came with Duan Anlan.
"I'm here, firstly, to thank the prince and princess for doing justice for my son, and secondly, to give this to you two." Mr. Duan said, taking out a piece of paper and handing it over.
Chu Younan opened it and saw that it was a land deed located in the city.
"Are you willing to sell it to us?" A light flashed in Su Bei's eyes.
It's really like giving a pillow to someone who is sleepy! Mr. Duan shook his head, "No, no, no, I'm not planning to sell it, I'm planning to give it away."
Chu Younan wanted to decline, but Su Bei had already nodded, "That's great! What are your conditions?"
Master Duan looked ashamed, "To be honest, my son has already offended Yue Hongcai, so it is definitely not appropriate for him to return to Yuejian Academy..."
"It would definitely not be appropriate for Duan Zhanfang to marry Yue Hongcai again!" Su Bei continued.
Mr. Duan was even more embarrassed, "This..."
He doesn't want to surrender, he just wants to leave himself another way out, okay?
"I... I don't have the conditions!" Mr. Duan gritted his teeth.
He originally wanted to use a courtyard to exchange his son for an official position. You know, Prince Su is a first-rank prince, much more reliable than Yuejian Academy. Seeing that Su Bei said this, he didn't dare to mention it, for fear of offending both sides.
Su Bei was surprised, "Really no conditions? If you have any conditions, just mention them!"
Chu Younan just drank tea and didn't say anything. He really didn't know whether Su Bei was really confused or just pretending to be confused.
Mr. Duan shook his head quickly. "No, no, I just want to thank you two. It's just a simple thank you, nothing else. If in the future my son..."
"Let him enter the academy, right? No problem, no problem!" Su Bei interrupted him confidently.
Duan Anlan is able to help Wu Yuanan, so he must be a good person. But don't let them say anything about buying an official position in front of Chu Younan. If that happens, Duan Anlan's official career may be completely ruined.
Mr. Duan almost broke his teeth. He was a businessman, and this was the first time in his life that he was doing a business that only lost money.
Now that we have the place, the primary issue is the teachers.
They have already sent a letter back to inform Chu Youyang about this. Considering that Empress Dowager Mei's pregnancy is stable, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Within two days, they received a reply from Chu Youyang. After reading it, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Chu Youyang said in the letter that Yuejian Academy should be closed immediately, and then all officials involved in the buying and selling of official positions should be caught. He also told them to take Empress Dowager Mei back quickly, not to worry about these trivial matters, and to take over the throne of emperor as soon as possible so that he could take Xue Jinrong to play around.
The previous one is still somewhat reliable, but he may not know that once Yuejian Academy is closed down, those officials who buy and sell official positions will definitely distance themselves from it as soon as possible, and nothing will be found at that time.
Now that they have spread the word that they are going to squeeze out Yuejian Academy, some people are bound to jump out.
I have to find a way myself! Naturally, I should find someone with a good reputation to take charge.
If it was in the capital, Chu Younan would definitely ask his teacher to come and take charge, but in a place like Tongcheng, it would be a waste of talent to ask the teacher to come. So he settled for the next best thing and wrote a letter to the teacher, asking him to recommend a few disciples to come to Tongcheng.
This matter was not very reliable, so he made preparations for both situations and also sought help from several scholars from the Hanlin Academy.
A few days later, this year's third place winner Wei Xiu came to visit and said, "Your Highness Prince Su, this is the letter of recommendation given to me by Elder Gu. He told me not to serve as an official in the court, but to follow you."
"You are actually Master Gu's disciple?" Chu Younan was surprised.
His teacher Gu Mingde was not like other teachers, who served in the imperial court and aspired to be the prince's or emperor's teachers in the future. Gu Mingde was like a wandering cloud and wild crane, teaching Chu Younan until he was fifteen, and then he went on a pilgrimage.
I only left an address for Chu Younan, and when I sent a letter to him, it might take ten days, half a month, or even a year or two for him to get back.
This time the efficiency is really high.
As soon as Wei Xiu arrived, Song Huaqing, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, also arrived.
"Your Highness Prince Su, after receiving your letter, I resigned from my official position and devoted myself to running a school for you." Song Huaqing is a very old-fashioned person, but he has always admired Chu Younan for being able to make great military achievements while not abandoning his studies.
These are two talented people, but it's a pity that they both came at the same time, and one of them didn't enter the court, and the other resigned...
"Could Chu Youyang have any feelings for you?" Su Bei's mouth twitched.
"It should be... no way..." Chu Younan held his forehead. He originally just wanted Song Huaqing to recommend someone to him, but he didn't expect this result.
If I gave this to someone else, I would be accused of forming a clique for personal gain.
I just hope Chu Youyang isn't that confused...
"There is another question..." Su Bei looked embarrassed, "Who should be the headmaster?"
Yes, if two people gave up their future to follow each other, it would cause conflicts without anyone knowing.
After thinking it over, Chu Younan finally decided, "Let Wei Xiu do it."
"What about Song Huaqing?"
Chu Younan was in a state of panic. Song Huaqing was a conservative person, and resigning from his official position was a major event in his life...
"How about letting Song Huaqing do it?" He thought about going back to the capital to open another academy, and then letting Song Huaqing be the principal. But who knew that before the two of them could come to an agreement, Chu Youyang's letter came again.
Chu Youyang was so angry that he actually said that these two people bullied him and would not allow them to serve as officials in the court from now on.
Now, there is no escape route for them...
Su Bei thought for a moment and said, "Let's draw lots..."
Is it so casual?
