When Ruan Dacheng heard Cui Chengxiu say this, his face immediately turned ugly.
This incident was obviously beyond Ruan Dacheng's expectations. He did not expect that Cui Chengxiu would not be able to convince His Majesty.
Now that things have come to this, it will probably be even more difficult to persuade His Majesty.
Ruan Dacheng asked worriedly, "Master Cui, what should we do next?"
"What can I do?" Cui Chengxiu said unhappily, "Before I left, His Majesty specifically told me not to act rashly. Now, no matter what I do, it will displease His Majesty. All I can do is wait and see what happens."
After saying this, Cui Chengxiu looked at Ruan Dacheng with a gloomy face and said very seriously: "Ruan Dacheng, you have to keep a close eye on this place. No matter what, nothing can happen, otherwise you will end up in trouble."
Hearing the threat in Cui Chengxiu's tone, Ruan Dacheng groaned in his heart.
However, he also understood that there was no way to negotiate with Cui Chengxiu at this time. Even if he had a hard time, he couldn't speak out and could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
Ruan Dacheng nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry, Master Cui, I will do my best."
At this point, not only for Cui Chengxiu, but also for himself, Ruan Dacheng had no choice but to do his best.
"Then go quickly." Cui Chengxiu nodded, his tone slightly relaxed.
He also knew that Ruan Dacheng could not be blamed entirely for this matter, and his attitude just now was nothing more than to scare Ruan Dacheng.
It's okay to vent your anger, but forcing Ruan Dacheng too much may backfire.
Ruan Dacheng nodded and turned back.
When he returned to the crowd, Ruan Dacheng found that Zhong Yuzheng had not finished speaking and was still talking nonstop.
The atmosphere at the scene was not as lively as before. Many students began to look dejected, and some even dozed off.
It was obvious that Zhong Yuzheng's speech was too long, and most of it was stuff the students had already heard before. The fact that they didn't get bored was a big concession to Zhong Yuzheng.
This actually made Ruan Dacheng feel relieved. This was the best thing that could happen.
Zhong Yuzheng was already speaking until his mouth was dry, and he said with some regret, "Then, let's work together to make this a success and set an example for scholars all over the world!"
"Good!" Loud cheers suddenly rang out from all around.
After this cheer, all the students seemed to react and started to cheer. The atmosphere around them became lively again.
A scholar walked out from the crowd. It was Wang Linsheng.
Ruan Dacheng's gaze fell on Wang Linsheng's face, and his brows instantly frowned.
He stared at Wang Linsheng closely, wishing he could slap him in the face and then arrest him.
From the moment these people arrived at Shoushan Academy, Wang Linsheng had been jumping up and down. Ruan Dacheng could clearly see his movements. This showed one thing: Wang Linsheng had other intentions.
Ruan Dacheng has a thorough understanding of some people's thoughts.
At times like this, people who jump up and down often have ulterior motives.
Wang Linsheng stood in front of the crowd and said loudly, "Wen Tianxiang once said, 'What is the point of reading the books of the sages? Confucius said to achieve martyrdom, Mencius said to pursue righteousness.' Today is the time for us students to achieve martyrdom and pursue righteousness!"
"Your Majesty has established the Royal Academy and has accepted scholars from all over the world. This is a blessing for scholars like us. This is a prosperous era unprecedented in history!"
"Your Majesty's dedication to promoting culture and education, and upholding the teachings of the sages, is truly a model for all emperors throughout history, and a blessing for scholars like us! Being born under the rule of such a sage monarch is a blessing for scholars like us!"
"But today, someone actually wants to take advantage of your majesty's kindness to carry out their own selfish agenda. This is truly a heinous crime! How can scholars like us sit idly by and watch?"
"It's time to be loyal to the emperor and serve our country! Fellow students, today is the day for us to be loyal to the emperor and serve our country! Follow us and make our voices heard here, so that everyone will know what we are thinking!"
When they heard Wang Linsheng's words, the crowd exploded.
Countless people shouted loudly, obviously agreeing with Wang Linsheng's statement.
Hearing Wang Linsheng say this, Ruan Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, Wang Linsheng has not reached the point of going crazy. He is speaking well of His Majesty, and if the words are spread out, he will gain a good reputation.
This made Ruan Dacheng understand one thing: Wang Linsheng thought the same as he did.
This way, things will be easier.
I'm afraid that if I hire a young and inexperienced person who doesn't know how to handle things, it will be difficult to get things done.
So Ruan Dacheng stood in the crowd without moving forward or speaking.
It would be best to calm things down now. It would be inappropriate to say anything.
The news of the students gathering in the capital could not be concealed, and soon the news reached the ears of officials at all levels.
It was then reported step by step and soon reached the cabinet.
After receiving this news, the cabinet was also shocked. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen?
This is not a small matter. If something really happens collectively, it will be terrible.
So the three cabinet ministers, led by Han Yu, did not dare to neglect and immediately sent the news to the palace. Han Yu and others were also waiting for the emperor's summons, hoping to come up with a solution quickly to resolve the matter.
In the cabinet room, a man was sitting there with a not very good expression on his face.
Huang Kezun said, "Isn't this nonsense? What does Cui Chengxiu do for a living? Your Majesty entrusted him with such a major task and asked so many government offices to cooperate with him, and this is the result he came up with."
