Chapter 2233 Has Meng Yunzheng gone mad?
"Two years ago, Ah Yun had already begun inviting learned scholars from all over the country to teach at the academy. For example, Mr. Huai'an, a famous Confucian scholar, was invited by Ah Yun with great effort."
"The first batch of students has already been recruited, and all the preliminary preparations have been completed. We are just waiting for A-Yun to pass the imperial examination so that classes can officially begin."
"Sir, this academy wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision by A-Yun. It was a decision he made after many years of careful consideration, and he has put in a lot of effort for it. Perhaps you are right, if A-Yun were in the imperial court, he could achieve great things. But as the headmaster of the academy, I believe he can also cultivate many officials who can make contributions to the court and the nation. Isn't that good enough?"
Qi Chan glanced at her, then at the painting on the wall.
On his way here, he prepared persuasive words to say to Shu Yu, even listing the pros and cons one, two, three, and four times. He was very confident in his eloquence and felt that Shu Yu was a knowledgeable girl who was wholeheartedly concerned for Meng Yunzheng, so she would definitely be able to understand what he was saying.
However, at this moment, he suddenly couldn't say a word.
From this painting and from Shu Yu's words, he learned how determined Meng Yunzheng was to open an academy and become its headmaster.
He thought he was going to return empty-handed this time.
Finally, Qi Chan let out a long sigh, "Well, it's a pity, but you're right. There are top performers in every profession. Someone as intelligent and brave as Meng Yunzheng would achieve great things no matter where he is."
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
Shu Yu then looked at Yao Tianqin, who rubbed his temples. "Since the Grand Tutor has said so, I won't try to persuade you any further. Just think it through yourself, so you don't regret it later."
No, even if he regrets it, the Emperor will probably still reserve a position for Meng Yunzheng.
This kid has plenty of options.
Qi Chan and Yao Tianqin ultimately returned empty-handed and left Lu Ji.
However, Meng Yunzheng's refusal to be granted an official position in court swept through the entire capital's powerful and wealthy families in just half a day.
The first reaction of everyone present was the same as that of the civil and military officials present at the time—had Meng Yunzheng gone mad?
He worked so hard and finally became the top scholar in the imperial examination. Good heavens, he was about to rise to the top and soar to great heights, but he didn't even get a single day of official position before he had to go back.
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
Xiang family.
When Xiao Ruojun heard this, she spat out her tea. "Meng Yunzheng is going home to be the headmaster of the academy? What about Ayu?"
Xiang Weinan quickly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face, saying, "Of course we'll go back together."
Xiao Ruojun: Doesn't that mean she and Ayu will be separated again?
Ten thousand families.
Hou, who was helping Lord Wan massage his forehead, suddenly exerted force and almost poked his eye.
Lord Wan scoffed, not daring to let her press it again, and quickly pulled her to sit down to the side.
Hou was still somewhat dazed. "Why is this happening? Wasn't he the top scholar in the imperial examination? He's the number one scholar! Why is he going back to teaching?"
She suddenly stood up. "No, I have to go find A-Yu. A-Yu has already opened shops in the capital. And what's wrong with him? He's quit his official post. What will happen to A-Yu now?"
Lord Wan grabbed her arm. "Princess Wen'an must know about this. I heard from the Emperor that Meng Yunzheng made his decision three years ago. Do you think Princess Wen'an wouldn't know about her relationship with Meng Yunzheng?"
