Even the Imperial College came knocking, and as a result, the Shanhe Academy Newspaper was ordered not to participate in the war.
As the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, Chen Zhuangshi was very depressed.
That group of people in the Life Show are no match for the Imperial College.
The people in the Imperial College are serious and should not be underestimated.
It is the "Shanhe Academy News" that should take action against the Imperial College.
Shanhe Academy and the Imperial College are the real rivals.
Lifestyle shows, writing about eating, drinking and having fun are fine. But facing the Imperial College is simply not a match of the same level.
Chen Zhuangshi went to the headmaster for help.
Shi Shanchang said cheerfully, "Xiao Chen, I know what you're thinking. We can't just sit back and watch the Imperial College bully us. However, this is a critical moment. The Shanhe Academy Newspaper is known for its size, and you often publish radical content in it. If you join the fight, the situation will likely get out of control."
If the imperial court intervenes, the academy will be in great danger. You must understand that your mission now is to keep a low profile and not get involved in this melee to ensure that you are not shut down by the imperial court. Everyone who is instructing you, please behave yourself."
Chen Zhuangshi was so blocked that he couldn't say a word.
He went to the Academic Affairs Office to look for someone again.
All of them held the same attitude: they were not allowed to participate in this melee. This time, Shanhe Academy would only be spectators.
Chen Zhuangshi was so angry that his face turned pale.
He went to Yang Ji to complain, but Yang Ji was busy in seclusion, solving problems and preparing for next year's imperial examination.
However, considering their life-long friendship, Yang Ji still took a cup of tea to comfort him.
Yang Ji was a true scholar, and he quickly sorted out his thoughts. "The academy's decision is correct. At the beginning of the year, the empress dowager passed away, and so many people died in the palace. Some people say that His Majesty was heartbroken and killed people to vent his anger, but I don't think so.
It's clear that the Empress Dowager's death was no simple matter. It's just that we, ordinary people, have no way of knowing the truth. I suspect the situation at court is not optimistic either. His Majesty's temperament and character will undoubtedly change with the Empress Dowager's passing. Rushing forward now would be like handing the court a handle.
If Your Majesty doesn't mind, then everything will be fine. If Your Majesty does, even Madam Zhao might not be able to handle it. For the sake of the academy, it was right for the Shanhe Academy Newspaper not to participate in the conflict.
And Life Show isn't as weak as you think. Since they dared to challenge the Imperial College, they must have a killer move. Don't forget, Madam Zhao never fights an unprepared battle. Since they've explicitly ordered the Shanhe Academy Newspaper not to participate in the battle, it's likely that Life Show already has a killer weapon to deal with the Imperial College.
Chen Zhuangshi banged his head against the wall. "I understand everything Brother Yang said. I just can't accept it. For such a big thing, they actually excluded the Academy Newspaper and let a life show, which has only been established for a few months, take the lead. Is the life show too confident, or do they look down on our Academy Newspaper? It's really infuriating."
"I guess they think too highly of your college newspaper and think it's a bad idea to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken, so they don't want the college newspaper to participate in the war."
Chen Zhuangshi bared his teeth at Yang Ji. "Even though Brother Yang is praising our Academy Newspaper, I wouldn't be the least bit happy. The battle with the Imperial College should have been the Academy Newspaper's home turf, but instead, Life Show stole the spotlight."
Afterward, when others discussed this incident, I, as the editor-in-chief, felt ashamed to face the supporters of the Academy Newspaper. People asked me why the Academy Newspaper didn't join the fight, and whether I was a coward. I didn't know how to answer. I felt like I had let everyone down.
Yang Ji patted Chen Zhuangshi's shoulder and said, "You think too much."
Chen Zhuangshi became more and more upset, "Brother Yang, you are really not suitable for comforting people."
Yang Ji rolled his eyes at Chen Zhuangshi, "It's time for a cup of tea, please, Brother Chen."
"You're so heartless. Back then, we slept in the same bed..."
Yang Ji directly asked Chen Zhuangshi to leave.
Chen Zhuangshi was wandering around the academy and he wanted to find Wang Xuecheng.
As a result, Wang Xuecheng was busy recruiting students and had no time.
Only Yan Ci is left, and he can arrange his time freely.
Chen Zhuangshi made a prompt decision and rented a carriage at the entrance of the academy. He then drove to Wenqing Bookstore.
Enter through the back door and find Yan Ci.
Yan Ci was unkempt and had a sour smell on his body.
The sour taste made Chen Zhuangshi faint.
Chen Zhuangshi adjusted for a while, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and walked into the study again.
"Brother Yan, how many days have you not been out and washed?"
Yan Ci was stunned and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
He scratched his head, his hands greasy.
"Brother Chen is here. I can't remember how many days I haven't left the house. I even forgot when I last washed up!"
Chen Zhuangshi was very disgusted.
He glanced at the manuscript on the desk and asked, "Brother Yan, you lock yourself in your room all day. What are you busy with?"
Yan Ci looked distressed. "I'm busy writing. Life Show is published every three days, and my legendary novel needs to be submitted every three days, at least 3,000 words. To be honest, Brother Chen, I'm running out of ideas and very depressed. To avoid distraction, I decided to retreat and practice."
Chen Zhuangshi was speechless.
He pointed at Yan Ci and asked, "Is this the result of your retreat?"
Yan Ci looked down at himself, then raised his arm and sniffed under his armpit. He felt very good about himself.
He said, "It's fine, no problem. The retreat has been very effective. I've finished five manuscripts, submitted three, and have two left in reserve. It gives me a break."
"Brother Yan, don't forget to wash up while you take a breath. I'll treat you, Brother Wang, and everyone else to dinner tonight."
"That's great!" Yan Ci felt a little hungry when he heard about food.
No matter how deep their friendship was, Chen Zhuangshi could no longer endure this sour feeling.
He turned around and hurried out of the study.
He opened his mouth wide and took a breath of fresh air.
Oh my god, I almost suffocated to death in there.
Yan Ci is amazing, he can create in his daily life without any obstacles.
When Huang Qubing passed through the moon-shaped gate, he saw Chen Zhuangshi. Without a second thought, he turned around and ran away, as if he had seen a ghost.
Chen Zhuangshi also saw Huang Qubing and his eyes lit up.
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang, wait for me..."
Huang Qubing walked faster and faster, almost running.
But he was still caught up by Chen Zhuangshi.
Chen Zhuangshi slapped Huang Qubing on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huang, let's talk."
"There's nothing to talk about." Huang Qubing said with a forced smile.
He did not forget that when the Life Show was first established, Chen Zhuangshi found fault with it all day long and almost suffocated him to death.
Chen Zhuangshi chuckled and blew a breath of hot air into Huang Qubing's ear, which stimulated Huang Qubing so much that he almost jumped up.
Then, Chen Zhuangshi whispered, "Dealing with the Imperial College isn't easy, is it? The people you have on hand probably aren't up to the task, so you'll have to look for someone from outside. You don't have to look far for help. Dealing with the Imperial College is what our Academy Newspaper is best at. If you need outside help, come to me. Look, I'm offering myself to you, how sincere I am."
Huang Qubing looked Chen Zhuangshi up and down, his eyes full of distrust.
Chen Zhuangshi straightened his chest and raised his head. "Reading the Academy Newspaper? I'm not very talented, but as the editor-in-chief of the Academy Newspaper, my other abilities are average, but when it comes to verbal battles, I've never lost. The Imperial College is even easier to deal with. I'm good at dealing with cultural hooligans like the Imperial College! I promise to beat them to a pulp."
"Won't it affect your studies at the academy?" Huang Qubing asked.
Chen Zhuangshi chuckled, "No delay, absolutely no delay. I'm very happy to help."
Huang Qubing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can come and help. But don't give me any dictates about the life show."
"Don't worry, I promise not to interfere with your daily arrangements. I'll just take care of the verbal battle."
The two reached a preliminary consensus and smiled proudly.
Chen Zhuangshi praised his own wit.
The academy did not allow other academies to sign up to participate in the war, but it did not forbid him from participating in the war.
He has now temporarily joined the Life Show to help the Life Show beat up the Imperial College. Just thinking about it makes him excited.
When he read the article written by Cai Zhongshan and Xu Chengye exposing the Imperial College, he was so excited that goose bumps appeared all over his body. Every cell in his body was dancing.
He decided that he would live in Wenqing Bookstore until the end of the war.
As for the Academy Newspaper, he would leave it to his subordinates to worry about for the time being. Anyway, the articles in the Academy Newspaper's recent issues were very standard and mediocre, and they didn't arouse his enthusiasm at all.
"The content is very detailed, but the language isn't sharp or poignant enough; it's too gentle. Maybe I've written too many romance novels and was so focused on the story that I forgot it was actually a war."
After saying that, Chen Zhuangshi picked up his pen and started polishing it.
His words were sharp and experienced. His original combat power of five points was directly increased to ten points after this modification.
After reading it, I suddenly felt a burning sensation.
"The people at the Imperial College will probably be furious after reading this."
"That's the effect we want. Our goal is to make the flames of war even more intense. Abandon all sentimentality and attack the enemy with the boldest, most unbridled, and most incisive words. As the saying goes, strike the snake at its weakest point. We must show no mercy."
Then Chen Zhuangshi changed the title.
The original title "On the History of the Decline of the Imperial College" was changed to "Never seen such a shameless Imperial College"!
Huang Qubing clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Excellent! This title is more compelling. Let's stick with it. Old Chen, revise the manuscript quickly. It needs to be finalized by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. It will be published the day after tomorrow morning, so time is limited."
Chen Zhuangshi held up the pen and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry. I promise to finish revising all the manuscripts before noon tomorrow. Also, don't call me Old Chen. I'm not as old as you."
Huang Qubing's mouth twitched, "You are only a few years younger than me."
"Even if it's only a month younger, I'm still younger than you. Call me Mr. Chen next time, and I'll be grateful."
Huang Qubing pointed at him and said, "I have never seen anyone as shameless as you."
Hahaha……
