Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Chapter 1102: Race Against Time (4)

“What about the White Deer Institute and the Giant Phoenix Institute?”

” The former is not involved and strictly forbids disciples from going out. The gate is closed and all visitors are rejected. The latter is watching. If we are weak, we might take the opportunity to step on them.”

“Who jumped out from the palace?” Zhang Ronghua asked again.

Ding Yi said,” The Imperial Censorate is led by Chu Xuping, and the Tai Xuan Temple is led by Jin Zhijian. He is a Tai Xuan Temple official, a third-grade official. Other than them, many officials from other departments have also participated in the reform of the Academy. The people trained are not suitable for important positions. If this continues, it will affect the foundation of Xia. They are asking for orders outside the royal study!”

He voiced out his guess.

“Grand Secretary Wei is using this opportunity to make a fuss?”

“I won’t!” Zhang Ronghua was very sure.

” The case has just been decided. Now that we’ve made a move, His Majesty will not let him off the hook. Any random reason can make him feel uncomfortable. He should be heading to the market now to supervise the execution of Guard Wei and the others.”

Ding Yi widened his eyes.

“The possibility is very high.” Zhang Ronghua said seriously.

” What happened last night was a huge blow to Grand Secretary Wei. He couldn’t even protect his own son, and his prestige was almost completely lost. Some people might have ideas, so prepare one or two more backup plans.”

“How?” asked Ding Yi.

Zhang Ronghua smiled.” If it’s just Chu Xuping, I won’t be interested at all. But Jin Zhijian is involved. After we take him down, we’ll let our people take over the position. Tai Xuan Temple will occupy an important position. When the fight for the position of the Pavilion Elders comes next month, we’ll have the right to publicize it. Uncle Pei will be able to do twice the work with half the effort.”

He said again.

“If my guess is correct, His Majesty’s men are already on their way.”

“You’re still smiling at a time like this?” Ding Yi scratched the back of his head.

“If someone gives you money and talent, wouldn’t you laugh?” Zhang Ronghua asked.

“So ruthless?” Ding Yi was dumbfounded.

“If you want to do things, it’s inevitable that there will be conflicts. If you don’t solve them, even if the government orders are out of the government office, they won’t be implemented! After this, the reform of the academies would be a foregone conclusion, and no one could change it. With Shangjing Prefecture as a pilot, His Majesty would see the results and naturally promote it gradually until all the academies in Great Xia were exempted from tuition fees. Not to mention these officials, even the court officials would not be able to stop it. Moreover, the target this time is not them, nor do we expect to take down these people. It is the Academy in the capital. Take this opportunity to get rid of all the stumbling blocks in front of you. In this way, it will be easier for you to do it.”

It took Ding Yi quite a while to recover from his shock. He had a big appetite. This time, he was aiming at the Academy in the capital. It was far more exciting than the fight with Grand Secretary Wei.

” Everyone else is watching,” Zhang Ronghua said.” Once I’m weak, everyone will hit me when I’m down. They’ll use this opportunity to take me down.”

Ding Yi understood this. The Academy’s matter was of great importance. Not only the capital, but all the academies in Great Xia were involved.

“Use all our forces to investigate the Changtian Academy,” Zhang Ronghua ordered.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

” Wait for my news!” Ding Yi’s eyes flashed with a cold light and he was filled with killing intent.

They arrived at the government office.

Sensing.

Eunuch Xiao rode on his Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse and led a group of Human Emperor Guards over.” Lord Marquis,” he said,” His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace!”

“Let’s go!” Zhang Ronghua said.

Wait for ge to leave.

Ding Yi followed the plan and used all his power to investigate the Changtian Academy…

In the royal study.

Zhang Ronghua looked around and saw hundreds of officials everywhere. There were more than he had expected. The reform of the Academy was getting more and more urgent. Several factions had joined forces. Some people from the neutral faction had also joined the fight. They were not afraid at all. It was getting more and more fun!

A man’s life was like a tree’s shadow. Seeing him come over, most of the officials were shocked. They suppressed their fear and did not let their inner thoughts show on their faces.

Eunuch Xiao pushed open the door and made an inviting gesture.

They entered the main hall.

There were a few people standing there. Chu Xuping and Jin Zhijian were in front. The people behind them were of high rank. The lowest rank was at least Rank-3. They walked quietly to three steps away from the imperial platform. Zhang Ronghua bowed.” Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Emperor Xia put down his pen. Wei Shang took it and hung it on the pen rack. He asked in a deep voice,” I heard from the ministers that you are pushing for the reform of the Academy. Every household in the capital and the small towns and villages under your jurisdiction will have a quota. Tuition fees, miscellaneous fees, and food expenses will be exempted?”

“There is such a thing.” Zhang Ronghua said.

“In my opinion, there are countless talents in Great Xia, especially those from the Humble Class. They are restricted by their family backgrounds. Some of them are clearly talented in studying, but they don’t have money. They don’t even have the money to buy books, ink, and brush, let alone study. They have no choice but to work early to support their families. If they are given a chance to change their fate and live a better life, they will definitely cherish it and study hard to make a name for themselves. When they grow up, whether it is to be an official or a businessman, it will be a great thing for Great Xia.”Being an official brings benefits to the region, doing business drives economic development, and then feedback to the people. They earn more wages, and their lives will naturally become better. At that time, everyone will have new clothes to wear, meat for three meals a day, and they can even go to restaurants to drink from time to time.”

“Nonsense!” Chu Xuping scolded.

“If Censor Chu has any brilliant ideas, you may speak them out,” said Zhang Ronghua.

” Firstly, the imperial court doesn’t have so much money to provide free education for all scholars. Secondly, no one will cherish what they get for no reason. The people they train won’t even be able to govern the place, let alone stand on their own. Thirdly, they will form a vicious competition with the academies all over the world. A lot of energy is wasted on snatching talents and scheming, which will increase the cost. In the long run, each generation will be worse than the last. The major academies in the Fourth Capital have already stopped learning. I heard from them that… If the Shangjing government doesn’t stop the reform of the academy, as long as they don’t return to school, the scholars will have no books to read. The fifth imperial examination is coming soon. With this commotion in the government, when the scholars from all over the world gather in the capital, they will definitely be in a panic and have no interest in the imperial examination. When they go back and spread the news, it may cause a riot.” The more Chu Xuping spoke, the more agitated he became. He pointed angrily.
