Cui Mansion, the royal capital.
A few days ago, the earth dragon turned over and the beam on the roof fell, hitting him on the back and knocking him unconscious on the spot.
Fortunately, the beam saved his life and blocked the falling wood chips.
Cui Renjie was lying in bed recuperating. When he heard the news from his attendant, he was shocked and lifted the quilt, not caring about the wound on his back.
He asked anxiously, "What? Master Geng is dead?"
The attendant shuddered with fear. "To answer your Majesty, that's right. Master Geng's head somehow appeared in the palace under renovation today, giving the Emperor a fright!"
Master Geng was a person specially sent by Cui's ancestor in the [realm]. Originally, he contacted the ancestor in many ways just to kill a mortal, and the ancestor felt it was troublesome.
Now that Master Geng died because of a mortal, how could he face the wrath of the ancestor!
"Hurry! Help me go over and take a look!"
Supported by two or three servants, Cui Renjie quickly left the house.
After much effort, Bali walked into the palace which was already crowded with people.
Cui Renjie saw the Queen Mother and her son talking in the distance at a glance.
Hearing the whispers of the guards and palace maids around him, his expression immediately changed, and he scolded them: "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
He was very happy with the scolding, but he didn't notice the flash of displeasure on Ji Qin's face.
Cui Mi was still smiling as she was helped over by the palace maids. She asked her brother knowingly, "Are you angry, brother?"
Cui Renjie's face turned grim: "Queen Mother, what are you doing? Are you going to let everyone know that Master Geng was killed by a mortal?"
"Of course not, don't be angry, brother. I just want to maximize the role of Master Geng."
Cui Mi pointed at the slightly rotten head with a fierce look in his eyes.
"What?" Cui Renjie looked anxious.
"Master Geng is an immortal and a disciple of our Cui clan ancestor. Now that our ancestor knows that Master Geng has been killed, do you think he will let it go?"
Cui Renjie saw at a glance what his sister was going to do. After thinking for a while, he turned around and returned home in silence.
Indeed, with the help of the ancestors, it would be easy to get rid of Ji Wan, the biggest threat to the Cui family.
Ji Wan is already a prince with more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, and is the heir to the throne who can threaten Ji Qin!
Chuzhou.
Ji Wan held the messenger bird sent by Zuo Yue in his hand and watched the whole process of the incident.
She sighed in her heart, she and the Cui family were really at loggerheads, wanting to kill each other.
The messenger bird was sent by Zuo Yue.
In order to pave the way for the future, Zuo Yue and Gong Xu hid their identities, changed their appearances, and were all sent back to the capital by Ji Wan as spies.
Cui's hands have reached into Ji Wan's territory several times, and it is absolutely impossible for her to just sit there and endure it.
We must fight back!
Of course, she didn't take action before because she had to govern the three states and counties under her territory first before she could free up her hands to deal with the Cui family.
However... thinking of the ancestors of the Cui family mentioned in the messenger bird, Ji Wan turned and went to Moxiang Academy.
She wanted to go and ask her master whether the ancestor of the Cui family was a well-known figure in the [realm].
Well, the most important thing is to ask the master if you can win.
If you can't beat them, you'll be in trouble...
As soon as Ji Wan entered Moxiang Academy, he was startled by the disciples of Mr. Shunan gathered inside.
"What are you gentlemen doing?" Are they up to something weird again? If they do it again this time, she won't give Mr. Shunan any face!
Ma Xiang was the first to stand at the entrance of the space. When he saw Ji Wan coming in, he bowed solemnly to Ji Wan and said, "Your Highness, Xiang admits that his knowledge is too shallow to be a teacher in the academy.
I also ask you to revoke all the privileges you once gave Xiang, and let Xiang start as a student again."
Mr. Shunan's disciples behind Ma Xiang all performed the same movements as him.
Before, they were studying under Mr. Shunan while teaching the children at Moxiang Academy.
But, after that incident, they thought Ji Wan would not hire them again.
Unexpectedly, Ji Wan continued to teach them without any objection, and even gave them salaries as before for two consecutive months.
This morning, when they received the salary sent by the young eunuch, they felt guilty after discussing it, so they went to the gate of Moxiang Academy to block Ji Wan.
Ji Wan: "..." In fact, she had forgotten.
Now that the financial power is in Pei Xiang's hands, she is not responsible for paying salaries to her subordinates, so of course she can't remember it.
Pei Xiang saw that Ji Wan had not issued any special orders, so he naturally would not cause any unnecessary trouble. The treatment of these gentlemen naturally remained the same as before.
"So, gentlemen, you want to study with the children of Moxiang Academy?"
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
Since the last incident, Mr. Shunan's already serious education of them has become even more strict.
At Moxiang Academy, he worked tirelessly day and night to impart knowledge to them and teach them how to behave in society, vowing to change their mindset.
Mr. Shunan thought it was his fault that he had taught these disciples with incorrect ideas.
But the master is the mentor of this group of disciples, and they naturally feel bad seeing the master suffer such a setback.
Therefore, after discussing with Mr. Shunan, they decided to resign from their teaching positions to Ji Wan, accept Mr. Shunan's education, and return to their position as students.
Then he could enter the officialdom with his own real ability, instead of using the backdoor to get in for Mr. Shunan's sake.
When he learned about this, Mr. Shunan's face, which had been tense for days, finally showed some good expression to these unfilial disciples.
Nodded with relief.
"In that case, gentlemen, please arrange your own studies. I will treat you the same as the children in the academy."
They are treated the same as other children, with free food and accommodation, free books, paper, pens and ink, and tuition fees can be loaned out to be repaid after graduation.
But to be honest, the treatment is indeed not a little bit worse than that of a teacher.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone said in unison. Ji Wan also nodded and turned to meet his cheap master.
In my heart, I have a higher opinion of Mr. Shunan. Without destruction, there is no construction. The students have offended the counselors under Ji Wan.
