After briefly understanding the situation with the system, Yan Shu said to her mother, "I can see that you are worried. I have been away from home for three years. Don't you and dad treat me as your own family? You didn't even tell me when something happened at home."
Zhu was stunned. Seeing that the girl looked angry, she sighed, "How can we not treat you as our own family? It's obviously your father who didn't let me tell you. He said he was afraid that you would get angry if you knew. If His Majesty finds out by accident and gets angry, it will be bad for you."
Yan Shu deliberately asked, "Getting angry? Did you do something wrong?"
Zhu looked aggrieved, "How dare we? I'm afraid we are bullied because we are too honest."
Yan Shu then said, "In that case, why are you afraid of His Majesty getting angry? Do you think His Majesty is a tyrant..."
"Little ancestor, how can you say such nonsense?"
Zhu was so scared that she covered her mouth and said, "It's okay, I don't care about your father anymore. In fact, Tianrui got into trouble in Songhe Academy - a few people bullied him because he was from outside the area, and deliberately imitated his words to tease him. Tianrui ignored them, but who would have thought that they would tear up his books directly. As you know, Tianrui valued books the most, so he couldn't help but fight with them. Tianrui was taller, and the other party was short, so he didn't take advantage of him, and actually went to complain to the headmaster. They want Tianrui to admit his mistakes to them, otherwise they will kick him out of the academy."
Yan Shu raised her eyebrows, "Did Tianrui apologize?"
Zhu sighed, "You know the temper of that brat, he was so angry that he went home on the spot and hasn't been to the academy for three days."
Yan Shu said, "Good job Tianrui, you have backbone! It wasn't his fault in the first place. If he apologized, he would be bullied even more."
Zhu sighed, "That's what you said, but what should we do now? Will he never go to the academy in the future? That's the best academy in the capital, and there are not many people in Qingzhou who can go there."
Yan Shu hurriedly comforted her mother, "The capital is big. In addition to this academy, there are other academies. I just heard recently that this academy is actually not good in name only. You and dad don't have to worry. I Just find another one for Tianrui."
Hearing the lady say this, Zhu was still a little worried and said, "Your father didn't tell me because he was afraid of causing trouble for you."
Yan Shu smiled and said, "Father was bullied so much because he was too honest. You go back and tell him that I am now a concubine after all, but my brother was bullied like this. Where will I save face if it gets out?"
Zhu nodded, and then she relaxed her sad face a little, sighing, "I feel much better after telling you, otherwise I would have suffocated to death."
As she said this, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out the bag she brought with her, saying, "Look at my memory. I made some vegetable boxes for you at home just now, and I almost forgot to take them out." As she
said this, she took out a bag of hot delicious food just like last time.
Vegetable box?
Yan Shu's eyes lit up, "Great, I've been wanting to eat vegetable boxes these past two days. Mother and I are really close friends."
She took it and started eating immediately.
Well, the vegetable box with leek and egg filling, with broken vermicelli and some shrimp skin inside, was the most delicious. In a blink of an eye, she had already eaten one.
Zhu smiled and said, "Look at what you eat. If you don't know, you would think that what I make is better than the food I make!"
"It's really delicious,"
Yan Shu smiled and nodded, "Last time, even His Majesty praised the big buns you made for being delicious."
"What?"
Zhu was surprised, "Your Majesty also ate the buns I made?"
Yan Shu nodded and stretched out a palm to show her mother, "He ate five in a row."
Zhu opened her mouth wide.
It turns out that His Majesty can eat so much!
Tsk, it seems that if I make something to eat next time I enter the palace, I must make more.
Yan Shu ate three vegetable boxes in a row in front of her mother. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu left the palace.
After thinking for a while, she asked Ren Dong to get a food box and put three vegetable boxes in it. Then she went out and carried them to Qianming Palace.
Not long after, the king in the study smelled the fragrance of the vegetable boxes.
"This is a dish box made by my mother. I brought it when I entered the palace just now. If your majesty doesn't mind, please have a taste."
Yuwen Lan looked at the dish box, then looked at Yan Shu who was smiling in front of him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you so generous this time and took the initiative to send it to me?"
Yan Shu tried to smile sincerely, "I always think of your majesty first when I have something delicious."
But in her heart, she said, "It's better to take the initiative to send it to you than to eat it yourself. There are four left in the palace now. If you go to eat, it will be good if you can leave two for me. 】
Yuwen Lan, "..."
He knew it.
However, the dish box looked golden in color and exuded a simple and fresh fragrance, which was indeed somewhat tempting.
He was a little hungry, so he picked up one and ate it, and asked casually, "Did you have a good chat with your mother just now?"
Yan Shu said, "Very well, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
But in her heart, she said, "What a bullshit, my mother didn't even know that her own brother was bullied like this!"
Yuwen Lan, "???"
Before he could ask again, he heard her angrily, "This capital city doesn't tolerate honest people at all, what a bullshit Songhe Academy, what a bullshit principal, I'll kill you!"
Yuwen Lan, "..."
Songhe Academy?
He vaguely remembered that the last time her father brought her brother to visit him, he seemed to have mentioned that her brother wanted to study at Songhe Academy.
Hearing this... Could it be that the boy was bullied in the academy?
He tried to say, "If there is anything, you can tell me."
But she shook her head as if nothing had happened, and said, "I have nothing to do. Your Majesty, please eat first. I will go back to write the story book and show it to Your Majesty after it is finished." But
in her heart, she said, "When I write down all the crimes of that scumbag for you to see, you will definitely be angry!!!"
Yuwen Lan, "..."
It was the first time he saw her so angry.
He did not dare to ask any more questions, so he nodded and watched her leave.
However, his curiosity came, and after thinking about it, he called the Jinyiwei.
~~
About half an hour later, the Jinyiwei who went out to investigate returned to report to the king.
"Your Majesty, it turned out that Master Li was bullied in the academy because of his outsider status. Seeing that he was knowledgeable and quick-witted, the other party was jealous and deliberately teased and tore up his books. Master Li was so angry that he punched back twice. Now the academy dean has ordered him to go home and reflect on himself."
What?
Yuwen Lan almost thought he had heard wrongly, "He was bullied? And was he ordered to go home?"
Jinyiwei said, "Because the bully was Jiang Mingzhi, the grandson of Wuyang Marquis, and Mr. Li did not reveal his identity when he entered the school. The academy thought he was a commoner and dealt with him in this way."
Yuwen Lan almost laughed out of anger, "Commoners must be bullied? A place where people study and learn has become such a powerful place."
No wonder Yan Shu was so angry just now.
He thought for a while and said, "Ask the Censorate to send someone to see what is going on in the academy."
Jinyiwei agreed.
~~
But it is said that after Zhu returned home, she hurriedly told her husband and son what her daughter said.
"Shu'er said that it was not Tianrui's fault and that we don't need to be afraid. She will find another academy for Tianrui."
Li Huaizhi, the Earl of Loyalty, said, "How can she find an academy for Tianrui in the palace? Besides, the teacher in Qingzhou also spent a lot of effort to find a favor for us. If we just leave, wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts?"
Zhu said, "Then what should we do? Does Tianrui have to admit his mistakes and be humiliated?"
Li Huaizhi thought about it and said to his son, "Let's go. Dad will accompany you again today to see if we can convince them."
Li Tianrui agreed and followed his father out.
Li Huaizhi was a very principled person. Even when he went to the academy in person, he still did not reveal his identity as an earl.
So he waited outside the door for a full hour before he finally met the headmaster, Bi Jinghuai, who had been reluctant to see him.
Li Huaizhi, intending to talk things over, saluted and said, "My son is straightforward by nature. Although he is a bit naughty, he won't do anything excessive. I believe that the dean still has some misunderstandings about this matter. Please find out the truth and ask my son to go back to school."
Unexpectedly, the seemingly elegant dean smiled and said, "You have just arrived in the capital. Considering that your son is talented, please listen to my advice and go to those classmates to apologize. If they forgive you, you can naturally come back to school. Otherwise, you may not be able to stay in this academy."
Li Tianrui was so angry that he couldn't help but say, "Dad, I don't want to study anymore. Let's go home."
Look, what can Dad do now? The dean is still so biased and doesn't make any sense!
"Mr. Li, wait a minute."
Just as he finished speaking, a man in his forties came in from outside.
Seeing the father and son of the Li family were stunned, the man took the initiative to explain, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I was ordered by your daughter to come and understand your son's affairs."
After all, Li Huaizhibi had just arrived and didn't know the officials in the court very well. At this time, he could only nod and say, "Thank you for your hard work."
The other party nodded and said to the headmaster Bi Jinghuai, "I have just learned from several students in the academy. Since the other party was disrespectful to Mr. Li first, he tore up the book and pulled it, so it is reasonable for Mr. Li to fight back. As the head of the academy, you should distinguish right from wrong, comfort the wronged, and punish the violent. Otherwise, how can you teach and educate people?"
After saying this, the headmaster Bi Jinghuai looked at him quietly.
Although he has a good temperament, he looks unfamiliar and does not seem to be an official.
Bi Jinghuai smiled and said, "Your Excellency probably came to Beijing from another place. Beijing is full of powerful people, unlike other places. Any student in my academy might be the son of a prince."
The other party looked puzzled and said, "Even so, what does it have to do with this matter? A prince is guilty of the same crime as a commoner. Can you confuse right and wrong just because the perpetrator has a different identity?"
Bi Jinghuai smiled again, "I'm not confusing right and wrong. There is a saying that goes, a slap in the face may not make a sound. If Li Tianrui had not been in the wrong first, the other party would not have bullied him. Otherwise, there are so many people in the academy, why don't they bully others?" As soon as
these words came out, the three of them were very angry.
Fifteen-year-old Li Tianrui snorted again, "My mistake was that I thought this Songhe Academy was a good place! I shouldn't have come here." Then
he looked at Li Huaizhi and said, "Dad, let's go."
At this point, Li Huaizhi no longer had any hope.
He sighed heavily and said to the visitor, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here. In this case, I'd better find another place for my son to study. It turns out that this academy is still out of our reach."
He was about to turn around.
But he heard the other party say, "Wait a minute, uncle."
Uncle?
Bi Jinghuai paused when he heard the words.
Is he calling that country bumpkin?
But he heard the other party also shook his head and sighed, "If I hadn't seen it myself, I would not believe it. Under the emperor's feet, such a thing of turning black into white would happen in Songhe Academy. I will report it to the court. It seems that this academy needs to be investigated thoroughly."
Li Huaizhi nodded, and then he and the other party walked out of the academy.
Bi Jinghuai was stunned.
Report to the court?
Who are they?
Could he be wrong?
~~
After leaving Songhe Academy, when the Li family father and son returned home again, the king in the palace also listened to the report of Zuo Junliang, the right deputy governor.
He frowned and asked, "How did Bi Jinghuai become the principal of Songhe Academy?"
Zuo Junliang said, "This person entered Songhe Academy 20 years ago and was promoted from secretary to senior. It happened that the previous principal was old, and the position of principal was originally to be passed on to the then hall master Xu Daoguang, but the then Ministry of Rites and Ceremonials suddenly intervened and helped this person ascend to the position of principal."
The Ministry of Rites intervened?
Oh, it seems that the remnants of the former Minister of Rites have not been cleaned up yet?
Yuwen Lan said, "Investigate the then Ministry of Rites and Ceremonials, if there are any who have violated the law and abused their duties, not a single one will be spared."
Zuo Junliang hurriedly agreed.
~~
Perhaps because she was too angry, Yan Shu's writing speed today was as fast as if she were assisted by God.
She started writing in the morning, and finished the storybook before dinner.
Just as she put down her pen, she heard the system say, "There is new progress. The headmaster of Songhe Academy, Bi Jinghuai, found out that your father is the Earl of Zhongyi. He was shocked and ran to your house to apologize."
Apologize?
Yan Shu raised her eyebrows and said, "Then did my father and Tianrui forgive him?"
The system said, "Your father is polite, but he has made up his mind not to go back. He has already asked three academies for your brother. They know that your brother has won the first place in the county examination, and they are all vying for him.
Yan Shu was proud, "Of course, if you can't stay here, there will be other places for you! If apologies are useful, what is the use of laws? This scumbag has already pissed me off. I must kill him!" 】
But she had some doubts, 【He would rather go and apologize himself, why did he have to protect the three bastards who bullied Tianrui?】
System, 【Because the leader who bullied your brother is called Jiang Mingzhi, and he is the grandson of Marquis Wuyang. You know Marquis Wuyang, he is the eldest princess's father-in-law.】
Yan Shu, "..."
So that's it.
Tsk tsk, no wonder this scumbag is so protective of the bastard who beat people, it turns out that he is the eldest princess's nephew from the in-laws' family. He can't afford to offend him. It turns out
that people of the same family are alike, what kind of people are these.
At this moment, I heard the system say, 【Seeing that your father did not forgive him, Bi Jinghuai knew that this matter was not easy to deal with, and now he ran to the residence of the head of the Ministry of Rites to discuss countermeasures.】
Yan Shu narrowed her eyes, 【Head of the Ministry of Rites? The one who slept with his wife? He dares to protect this scumbag and go against me? 】
System,【Don't dare. Wei Guangze, the head of the Ministry of Rites, told him to figure it out himself, and got him out. 】
Yan Shu raised her eyebrows,【Good! I like to see these scums crawling around in panic the most! 】
But the system said again,【Don't be too happy too soon, Bi Jinghuai gritted his teeth and went directly to the Jiang Mansion, saying that he could use the conditions of recommending Jiang Mingzhi to enter the Imperial College, and asked the Jiang family to protect him. 】
Yan Shu chuckled,【Just listen to him bragging! Recommending him to the Imperial College? The Imperial College is so strict now that even a fly can't fly in. It would be a miracle if the little bastard from the Jiang family could get in! 】
At this moment, the emperor walked in leisurely from outside.
So she said goodbye to the system first, and went forward to salute, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you."
Yuwen Lan said no, and asked, "Is the meal ready?"
Yan Shu said no, "I just finished writing the storybook, and was planning to ask the kitchen to send it."
Yuwen Lan said, "That's perfect, I'll eat with you."
Well, with her, the food tasted especially delicious.
Yan Shu happily agreed, and asked the palace maid to serve the meal.
Taking this opportunity, Yuwen Lan asked again, "What kind of storybook did you write today?"
Yan Shu was about to tell him, and hurriedly said, "I wrote a story about a scumbag who got his comeuppance today."
Scum?
Yuwen Lan thought to himself, this word sounds a bit like that "scumbag".
But literally speaking, scumbag seems to be worse.
Well, she always spoke much faster than the Censorate, so he nodded, "Interesting, tell me about it."
Yan Shu cleared her throat and said, "There was a scholar who grew up in a poor family and had no status, so he suffered a lot. He was determined to make a name for himself and was particularly utilitarian. He was about to reach the age of marriage, but because his family was too poor, he could not find a wife."
"But the scholar found out that there was a wealthy family in the same village whose daughter was also very pretty, but she was simple-minded. So he planned to take advantage of the rain to damage the girl's ox cart, and then pretended to pass by and give her an umbrella, which made the girl fall in love with him. The wealthy family loved their daughter and eventually married her to him. With the financial support from his father-in-law, this man concentrated on preparing for the imperial examinations, and his wife took care of all the household affairs."
Yuwen Lan nodded, "This man did marry a A good wife, what happened next? "
Yan Shu said, "Later, this man was lucky enough to get married, but unfortunately he had no connections, no power, and no ability, so he was always a small official, far from his goal. Later, by chance, this man entered a prestigious academy to teach, and he found that many students who graduated from this academy became officials, which could help him expand his network and cling to power. This man began to use this opportunity to work hard."
"His wife had been raising the child in her hometown, and when the child reached school age, the mother and son came to the capital to live with him. But at that moment, his wife's misfortune came."
"An official took a fancy to his wife and coveted her secretly. This scholar knew clearly what the other party was thinking, but he did not protect his wife. In order to become the head of the mountain, he forced his wife to serve the official. Later, he bribed the official with a large sum of money, and finally became the head of the mountain."
Hearing this, Yuwen Lan was shocked, "For fame and fortune, this man actually forced his wife to serve others?"
Yan Shu nodded, "That's right."
He is indeed a scumbag.
Yuwen Lan asked, "What about his wife?"
Yan Shu said with regret, "His wife was so humiliated that she became depressed and died early."
Yuwen Lan sighed, "What happened later?"
Then she said, "With his control, the academy, which originally had a good academic atmosphere, began to gradually lean towards the powerful and wealthy, accepting many children from wealthy families and constantly raising the tuition fees, allowing them to profit from it, but those children from ordinary families could only look on and stay away."
"Later, this man even communicated with officials in the court and secretly became a broker for buying and selling official positions, making huge profits from it."
What?
Yuwen Lan couldn't help it for a moment and shouted angrily, "It's ridiculous!"
A profit-seeking and calculating scholar ruined the most important academy in the capital like this.
No wonder, no wonder!
Calculate it, this person became the headmaster of Songhe Academy about fifteen years ago, so how many termites have been born in these fifteen years!
Father, father, you were obsessed with cultivation back then, and what have you done to the court!
But Yan Shu approached him and said, "Your Majesty also thinks it's absurd, if this kind of thing happened now, this scholar must be severely punished by the law."
Yuwen Lan nodded very cooperatively, "Yes, to prevent it from happening, I will ask someone to investigate."
Yan Shu nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty is wise."
Yuwen Lan said, "You haven't told me the ending of that scholar yet."
He wanted to know how she would kill such a scum.
But she said, "Because this person made the academy full of smoke and miasma, all the people who came after him followed in his footsteps. In order to take the position of dean as soon as possible, they poisoned his food, and this person was poisoned to death. After his death, his soul came to the underworld, and the ghosts listed his crimes. King Yanluo was furious and sentenced him to all the punishments in the underworld. First, he was chopped with knives and axes, then fried in oil and cooked with fire, and finally turned into a stone in the toilet, forcing people to dump filth on him every day."
Yuwen Lan, "..."
"Why did the underworld appear?"
This was too unexpected. It turned into a strange story novel?
But Yan Shu smiled evilly, "Because his crimes are too numerous to list, it is obviously not enough to die once in the mortal world, of course he must go to the underworld to receive full punishment."
Yuwen Lan, "..."
Well, it can be seen that she is very angry.
Of course, he just listened, and he wanted to cut this person into pieces.
At this time, the dinner was already served, and Fu Hai bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please have dinner."
Yuwen Lan collected his thoughts and came to the table with her first.
But Yan Shu exclaimed, "There are brewed crabs!"
Yuwen Lan also glanced at the table.
However, in the meantime, the story she just told emerged in his mind -
turning that person into a stone in the pit...
"..."
Tsk, I can't eat anymore.
~~
That night, the new story was delivered to the bookseller.
Since Master Xiaoyao had not published a book for a while, people were very interested in him. Seeing that this book was so popular, the bookseller ordered printing overnight. By the next morning, more than a hundred copies had been sold.
After reading it, everyone was shocked.
It can be said that this person's shamelessness is even worse than those before.
Of course, the final ending is also very refreshing.
While feeling comfortable, everyone began to guess the identity of this person.
Because Yan Shu did not change his identity, she directly wrote that the other party was the president of the academy, and it was a long-standing and prestigious academy in the capital...
Tsk, you can figure out who the other party is with your toes.
At this time, news came out that after investigation by the Censorate, the principal of Songhe Academy, Bi Jinghuai, was involved in buying and selling officials, bribery and corruption, and was directly imprisoned.
Within a month, he was sentenced to death by beheading, and more than a dozen other officials involved were removed from their posts and held accountable, without exception.
Songhe Academy was also taken over by the court and reformed, and it would be opened to the people after the reform was completed.
As for the cause of the incident, Jiang Mingzhi, the son of the Jiang family who bullied his classmates from other places in the academy, did not escape punishment.
In the end, he was punished by the king with sixty strokes of the cane, and his legs were almost disabled after the beating.
After the incident came to an end, everyone was impressed by the power of Mr. Xiaoyao, and speculation about his identity was like a wave.
This is a story that turned a whole academy upside down. He is really a god!
Of course, Yan Shu was very calm about this. Anyway, the emperor was backing her up. Many people outside already believed that she was a new organization that obeyed the emperor, similar to the Jinyiwei or the Censorate, specializing in collecting secret intelligence to create public opinion for investigating corruption and darkness.
Just when she was eating melon seeds and making friends in the harem, hiding her achievements and fame, the system brought her new news.
[Pay attention, the Jiang family has been holding a grudge against the little rascal since he was beaten. Recently, they are looking for Concubine Ning in the palace and the son-in-law Zhao Chengwen, preparing to cause trouble for your Li family. ]
Yan Shu's eyes lit up.
Great, it seems that the book "Double-faced Talent Dies Under Flowers" can finally be published.
This is really a fortune, it can't be stopped!
