"The emperor must have known something, to insult me in this way."
"Master, there is even worse news." The servant lowered his head, and Prime Minister Jin naturally didn't care about his appearance.
He frowned, feeling unhappy. He had waited for news all day yesterday, but nothing came back.
There has been a lot of bad news this morning, and I don't know what's going on at the Yang Mansion.
The Yang family should all be in jail by now!
"The Imperial Guards took away the Sang people from the back mountains last night and sent all the students home. The academy was also sealed off."
Prime Minister Jin's face changed drastically. Could it be that his identity as a Sang person has been discovered?
No, although he founded the academy, he has long stopped interfering in the affairs of the academy, and the investigation will definitely not lead to him.
He suppressed his panic and looked at the servant who lowered his head, "Did any news come from the Yang Mansion yesterday?"
"At the Yang Mansion, it's said that some people from the Sang Kingdom disguised themselves as servants and attempted to assassinate His Majesty, but they were all captured alive by the Yang family." The servant paused for a moment, and just before Prime Minister Jin became angry, he quickly said, "The Imperial Guards interrogated them overnight and discovered that many officials in the court were from the Sang Kingdom, thus uncovering the Spring Examination substitution case."
"Now, everyone in the court is in danger. There are rumors that these people are related to you. Those who were arrested are your disciples who graduated from the Jinyu Academy, and..."
"Go on." Prime Minister Jin looked at the sky outside the courtyard wall with a dark face.
"Yesterday, all three princes were assassinated by the Sang people, but the second prince was unharmed. Now everyone is speculating whether the second prince has any connection to the Sang country."
"Stupid, all stupid."
Prime Minister Jin felt his scalp tingling when he thought about the Second Prince’s background being discovered. Are all the people sent by Sang Kingdom idiots?
I was afraid that the emperor would suspect the second prince.
All these things are inextricably linked to him. The emperor must have had some suspicions about him.
I think letting him raise pigs is a test from the emperor, but once the fact that he raises pigs is confirmed, I am afraid that the second prince will no longer have anything to do with that position.
When did the emperor begin to change his temperament and act decisively?
It seems to have been since the little princess was born.
Hmm! Prime Minister Jin racked his brains but couldn't figure out why the emperor knew all the arrangements in advance.
Has he been pretending all these years?
However, since the emperor has already suspected him, he will definitely arrange people to monitor him.
At this moment, he not only has to raise pigs, but also do it well so that the people will continue to praise him. Only in this way will the emperor be wary of him, and the second prince may still have a chance.
The Sang people suffered defeat after defeat, and he had to cut off contact with these people as soon as possible.
He can only be a Qin citizen now, and he must be a teacher loved by the Qin people, so he must raise this pig.
"Hu..." Prime Minister Jin exhaled a breath of foul air and lay back in his chair again, "You can get off!"
The servant then responded and retreated.
When the servant reached the corner of the woodshed, he tore off the mask on his face, revealing his usual slightly childish face.
This person was An Yi, who was ordered by Emperor Qin Yuanhao to bring the news to the Prime Minister to test his reaction.
It seems the Prime Minister has made his choice.

A few days later.
In the eastern suburbs of the capital, a bulletin board was established to accommodate the refugees' new homes.
Previously, we paid attention to the construction of new houses for refugees, and later there was an explanation of the greenhouse planting situation, so this area has not been abandoned.
As a result, people would go there to take a look every morning during the market.
The scholars required for the bulletin board can still be used today. They only need to be able to read and write, and there is no requirement for whether they are juren or not.
But you must come here to serve the people and recite the announcement as required.
The court provided salaries, and many scholars signed up to participate.
When Chu Tianyi came over with the little princess in his arms, he happened to hear the people chatting.
"Mr. Zhou, what's new today?" an old man carrying a shoulder pole came over. "Yesterday I heard some cucumbers were ripening in the greenhouse and were dragged to the East Market for sale at a low price. They were sold out immediately. I wonder if there will be any left today?"
"My grandson always wants to eat fruits and vegetables in winter. He's really picky."
"Uncle Wu, you're making fun of me too! My father doesn't know I gathered the cucumbers a long time ago, so please don't tell him." The scholar's face lit up with nostalgia when he heard the old man talking about cucumbers. "I was lucky enough to taste that cucumber once, and it was truly full of water. It's truly amazing that such a vegetable can be grown in winter."
[Haha, fresh fruits and vegetables are really rare in winter. I hope you guys keep up the good work!]
[Once all the research is complete, we can invite the common people to learn. The court will help them sell the vegetables and fruits they grow.]
[Sending it southwards, or exchanging it with the barbarians, would be excellent.]
【The national treasury can be quickly replenished, and the people can also make money. 】
"If you study hard, your grandfather will be more excited when slaughtering pigs. If he knew that you are not studying at home and come here to read the list, he will definitely come to catch you." The old man surnamed Wu had a smiling face.
"Not many people raise pigs these days, let alone come to my house to slaughter them," said the man surnamed Zhou, looking dejected. "The Jinyu Academy has been shut down, so we students can only study at home."
They will take part in the Spring Examination next year. Now that the academy is closed, what will happen to the knowledge they have missed?
He came here to study for the list after a friend introduced him to the Jinyu Academy, which was closed down.
If the two of them share the salary equally, life at home will be easier.
[I just heard from the Emperor that the situation at the Jinyu Academy is already in today's announcement. I'll let everyone know soon. I don't know how surprised I am.]
[There seems to be an enrollment guide for Qinhan Academy! ]
The scholar muttered, "Why is today's announcement so late?"
"Jinyu Academy? That's great!"
"I'm also planning to send my son there. It's said that it was founded by the Prime Minister. As long as he studies there, he can become a high-ranking official."
"It's a pity that the money we saved our entire lives might not even be enough to cover the teacher's gift for one year."
[Ordinary people who wanted to study in academy had to spend all their wealth to support one person, placing all their hopes on one person. You can see how much pressure there was!]
However, such people are always a minority. They only care about studying and have no knowledge of common sense. Can such people really do practical things and understand the real people?
Sure enough, when the scholar named Zhou heard this, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
He is the same, but there are constant natural disasters these days and he can't make much money from slaughtering pigs. He comes here to read the list in order to reduce the burden on his family.
But in the capital, Jinyu Academy is the only one that dominates, and it is said that there will be prediction questions in the early spring of next year.
Uncle Zhou saw him like this and patted him on the shoulder. "Boy, your family has been butchering pigs for generations, and only you can afford to go to school. Don't let your family down!"
[Killing pigs for generations, let me see.]
[Hey, Emperor Dad, his family is the chosen one for castration! ]
