So Cui Chengxiu prepared to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, and go talk to someone first.
The current head of Shoushan Academy is Zhong Yuzheng. Originally, there were Gao Panlong and others, but now they are gone. All of them have been dealt with by His Majesty, leaving Zhong Yuzheng as the only one in charge.
At this time, in Shoushan Academy, the news had already reached here, and Zhong Yuzheng's face looked very ugly.
Zhong Yuzheng had no way of interfering with the decisions made at court. Now that the Donglin Party had been completely swept out of the court, academies were being established and lectures were being given in various places, all in an effort to build strength and return to the court.
But now Cui Chengxiu is digging up Donglin's roots. He is so cruel. He has no bottom line and is wholeheartedly flattering his superiors. He is a disgrace to scholars!
"Brother Zhong, even if you walk around, it won't help."
A man was sitting on a chair nearby. He looked at Zhong Yuzheng with a wry smile on his face and said helplessly, "At this point, what we have to do is find a solution. Otherwise, what's the point of being so anxious?"
After hearing this, Zhong Yuzheng sighed helplessly, turned to look at the man and said slowly: "Things have come to this point, what can we do? Now that His Majesty has issued an order and no one in the court objects, what can we do even if we object? Jizhi, do you have any good ideas?"
Hearing this, the man sitting on the chair said, "At this point, there really is no room for maneuver. The court has made a decision to use the capital as a pilot. If the capital moves, our Shoushan Academy will inevitably be affected."
"Even if this matter is handed over to Cui Chengxiu, Cui Chengxiu would not dare to speak out indiscriminately to persecute him. Otherwise, if someone impeaches him and something happens, it will hurt the reputation of the royal family. Most importantly, if this matter cannot be accomplished, Cui Chengxiu will have no choice but to bear the consequences. So we don't need to be too anxious, just wait and see what they say."
After hearing this, Zhong Yuzheng nodded, but still said with some resignation, "But the people below won't listen to me. If things get out of hand this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it. Jizhi, you've always been full of tricks, why don't you come up with a plan?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult," the man sighed. "We're not afraid of something going wrong, but we're afraid of someone taking advantage of us. If someone secretly instigates us, I'm afraid we'll be pushed to the forefront. If we agree to rebuild the Royal Academy, we'll be cursed by everyone. If we don't agree, we won't be able to explain ourselves to His Majesty."
"You mean, those people will use us to ruin this matter?" Zhong Yuzheng looked at the man and said with a serious face.
"That's right." The man stroked his beard and nodded. "We're definitely not the only ones opposing this, but they don't dare to speak out publicly. They can only make small moves behind the scenes. If the matter in Beijing is ruined, there's no way we can spread it nationwide."
"As for how to disrupt the capital, the only way is to oppose it from the very beginning. This way, the court will be embarrassed, and at that point, the matter will naturally fail. However, the first family to stand up and oppose it will probably become a target in the court."
"Ruan Dacheng, don't exaggerate!"
At this moment, suddenly another voice rang out like thunder out of the blue.
Then, a man walked in from outside.
This is a man in his fifties, also dressed like a scholar.
"Wei Dazhong, was what I said wrong?" Ruan Dacheng looked at the person who walked in and said with a serious face.
Seeing the two men confronting each other, Zhong Yuzheng sighed helplessly.
These two people have never gotten along, and now they are on opposite sides because of this incident. I'm afraid that this time the quarrel will never end.
"Of course not." Wei Dazhong glared at Ruan Dacheng and said, "We founded the academy to spread the teachings of the sages. Many of the teachers in the academy are not even from the imperial examination system. Even if they are, they do not hold official positions. Their sole mission is to study and spread the teachings of the sages. How can the teachings of the sages be desecrated!"
"What kind of teaching does the Royal Academy offer? There are even crude warriors among its students. If the Capital Academy becomes like that, and all the other academies in the world become like that, then what is the true path of a sage?"
