"I am unworthy of being a scholar!"
After hearing Ruan Dacheng's words, Cui Chengxiu's face darkened.
Although Cui Chengxiu knew in his heart that there was definitely some exaggeration in these words, Ruan Dacheng came here for nothing more than a career. The more he exaggerated the matter, the more urgent it was, the more he needed him.
Under such circumstances, Ruan Dacheng would definitely say something that was not so practical, and it would not be a big problem if he exaggerated a little.
However, there is one thing that Ruan Dacheng will not lie about, and that is the matter itself. In other words, there are really people who are preparing to do this, and they want to connect with each other and stand up against Cui Chengxiu.
Although Cui Chengxiu was the only one in the court who proposed the reconstruction of the Royal Academy, he knew in his heart that the determination to carry this matter out was very strong, mainly reflected by His Majesty.
There were some people in the court who agreed, but not many; there were some who opposed, but no one raised the issue.
The reason is not whether there are many or few people who oppose it. Those who support it dare not speak out, and those who oppose it dare not speak out. It is simply because Your Majesty has suppressed them.
If the reconstruction of the Royal Academy goes smoothly, that would be fine; but if something goes wrong, or even if there is a heated debate, there will definitely be people who stand up to oppose it.
The person who actually handles this matter will definitely become the target of public criticism, but this is not the most critical point.
The most crucial thing is His Majesty. If something goes wrong and I mess it up, how can I explain to His Majesty?
Your Majesty has done so many things in the past and suppressed so many people. If you mess up here, let alone use this matter to gain merit and build a future, I am afraid that everything you have now will be lost.
Cui Chengxiu understood that if he lost the trust of His Majesty, he would be completely finished.
When he is done, those who have offended him will trample him into the mud.
Cui Chengxiu looked at Ruan Dacheng and said gloomily, "Who wants to cause trouble?"
"It's Wei Dazhong."
Seeing that Cui Chengxiu was angry, Ruan Dacheng knew that his words had worked, so he couldn't wait to tell others about Wei Dazhong.
As long as Wei Dazhong was removed from office, reform would be possible. Zhong Yuzheng was old, indecisive, and lacked a strong opinion. He had the final say on the reform of Shoushan Academy.
Once the reform of Shoushan Academy succeeds, it will become another imperial academy in the capital. By then, his status will surely rise, and he will surely be able to embark on a new official path.
"Wei Dazhong." Cui Chengxiu's eyebrows jumped when he heard the name and asked, "But he is Gao Panlong's student?"
"Lord Cui also knows him?" Ruan Dacheng asked hurriedly.
Cui Chengxiu nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it. Before this, there was a debate in the capital about the Royal Academy. Wei Dazhong once opposed the establishment of the Royal Academy. I didn't expect this person to want to jump out now. It seems that he still has evil intentions!"
"Yes!" Ruan Dacheng nodded, and said with emotion, "These people just won't give up. He plans to go around and make connections. When I heard about it, I came to report it to Lord Cui."
"This matter is very important." Cui Chengxiu nodded and said, "I will remember this achievement for you. Since it is this Wei Dazhong who is causing trouble, then get rid of him."
After saying this, Cui Chengxiu turned to look at Ruan Dacheng and asked, "If Wei Dazhong is eliminated, are you sure you can control Shoushan Academy?"
After hearing this, Ruan Dacheng knew that his chance had come.
Ruan Dacheng said, "Don't worry about this. There will definitely be no problem."
Cui Chengxiu nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "This matter cannot be made a big deal, and Wei Dazhong cannot be arrested for this matter. Once someone is arrested for this matter, the matter will become a big deal."
Ruan Dacheng nodded and agreed, "That's true. You have to know that there are still many foolish people in this world. If this matter gets out of hand and the court arrests Wei Dazhong, it will only cause a backlash from these people. At that time, they will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. There will definitely be people behind the scenes fanning the flames. If that happens, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."
Cui Chengxiu nodded and said, "That's true, so we need to find a way to quietly capture Wei Dazhong."
After thinking for a while, Cui Chengxiu asked again: "Do you have any good ideas?"
"It's actually quite simple," Ruan Dacheng said, stroking his beard. "Whether it's Shuntian Prefecture or the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as long as someone takes action, it'll be fine. Just find a pretext, even if it's just someone fighting with Wei Dazhong, or someone tipping him off. Arrest him, but don't find a serious crime, or it'll draw attention. And if it's a false accusation, the person who brought the case will also be implicated, which would be disastrous."
"As long as Wei Dazhong is arrested and locked up for ten days or half a month, the matter will be over. Once the reform of Shoushan Academy is completed, he can be released. By then, it will be too late for him to do anything and he can only accept his fate. If he still wants to make trouble, he can be arrested and severely punished."
After hearing Ruan Dacheng's words, Cui Chengxiu smiled and said, "Indeed. Although this treacherous person disregarded the interests of the country for his own selfish interests and deserved severe punishment, the overall situation was of paramount importance, so I had to let him go for now."
"Your Excellency is wise." Ruan Dacheng said flatteringly.
"Very good, I'll make arrangements right away, and you can go back. After Wei Dazhong is arrested, I'll go to Shoushan Academy to discuss matters with you, and we'll work things out then. As long as the reform of Shoushan Academy is complete, the other academies will naturally be fine. When that happens, I'll recommend you to His Majesty."
