Chapter 145: Return to the Academy

The original plan was to climb the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang for a few days, but Liu Mingge, who had a fish meal, was not interested at all.

"That's it, Black Pearl will go upstairs in this Wuchang City for me, settle these people, and I'll follow this kid to Xiangyang and go back to the academy to have a look."

"Academy? Which college is Mr. Liu going to? Li Xiaofei asked

"There is only one Nanyang Academy in Xiangyang, you stupid boy!"

"Mr. Liu actually came out of Nanyang Academy?" Li Xiaofei was even more surprised, because in his consciousness, the people in Nanyang Academy were old-fashioned and serious nerds, and they couldn't teach people like Liu Mingge

"As soon as I look at you, I know what the nerds my brother taught have ruined the academy! Needless to say, the current gate of this academy must be an extremely symmetrical pair of stone lions, the vermilion lacquer gate, and the trees in the courtyard have also been cut down by them. There were no more students swimming naked in the pond behind the academy! Well, the matter of stealing peanuts and cucumbers is gone, and the fights are gone" Liu Mingge's eyes began to shine as soon as he mentioned the academy, and he talked a lot

"This, Mr. Liu, I've been there once, and you can count the inside and outside furnishings exactly the same, students, it is said that they all follow the rules, and even the size of the step is regulated. They are all good students, and everyone is very recognized! Li Xiaofei tried hard to recall his impression of the academy, and it was true that the current academy was in good order, so Liu Jianjian found such a group of people to help him govern the country.

"Whew! What kind of good student is this? Also recognized? are all a group of puppet clay sculptures, how can such people calm the world in today's troubled times? It's just that you're even more stupid to bring a bunch of nerds to the sky! It's stupid! Liu Mingge began to get excited, this is a scene that Li Xiaofei has never imagined

"Mr. Liu shouldn't have been removed from the academy back then! Speaking of the academy, he was so excited, "Li Xiaofei refused to let go of this opportunity to ridicule Liu Mingge, and deliberately stimulated him."

"Phew, my master had already designated me to be the cave master of the academy, but for the sake of a woman, I gave up and left the academy! Otherwise, how could the academy be what it is now! ”

"It turns out that Mr. Liu is a person with a story, haha, I'm very interested in this!" Li Xiaofei laughed

"Don't listen to the story of Liu Weaving, he was only a teenager back then, how could he give up the position of the cave master of the academy for a woman! The truth is that his senior brother and disciples were jealous of him and drove him away together! The black pearl, who had not spoken, revealed Liu Mingge's old bottom

"You woman, why don't you always understand amorous feelings, isn't it good for me to tell a love story to purify the young man's heart?" Liu Mingge was exposed by the black pearl, and his mood calmed down

"Mr. Liu, I won't hide it from you, our current emperor is very fond of the people of the academy. If you go back like this, I'm afraid you're not going to make an uproar," Li Xiaofei began to worry about Liu Mingge

"Really? As far as I know, today's emperor favors you more, and in addition, when I go to see the emperor, I will definitely show my real ability to move him! You can rest assured! Liu Mingge was still full of confidence when he talked about meeting the emperor

"Haha, Mr. Liu is a great talent in the world, of course there is no problem, but if the emperor reuses Mr. Liu, those people in the academy will not agree, they are all Shangshu Zhonglang officials now"

"You are pure-hearted, the current emperor has used the nerds of the academy on a large scale to restrain you in order to check and balance you old people, doesn't he need people to check and balance the people of the academy?" Liu Mingge's self-confidence lies in his belief that Liu Jian needs him to restrain the people in the academy

"Wouldn't it be better for us and the academy to restrain each other? Why did the emperor bother to get a third-party force? Li Xiaofei felt that it was most reasonable for the martial arts with Chen Jiajun as the main force to restrain the academy in the future

"You don't understand the emperor's mind, let alone what balance is, the two forces fight, you will fight to the death, but after having a third party, the fourth or even the fifth party, everyone will have scruples, and they will be afraid of being used as a gun, so that they can be balanced. In fact, the reason is very simple, two legs can't hold up the table, but three legs and four legs can, that's the reason! At present, there are actually four forces of Chen Jiajun, the academy, the inner supervisor, and the harem, but the inner supervisor and the harem are currently too weak to affect the first two forces. ”

"It seems that I'm really a little white, you scholars, you have different things in your head, I think only people like Mr. Liu can restrain the people of the academy, Chen Jiajun currently only has the power to parry but has no ability to fight back!" Li Xiaofei smiled helplessly, feeling that he had seen too little, and was completely unaware of the battle above the court, if he was involved one day, he might not survive for three days.

"If it weren't for the fact that I would be able to take Liu Xuan around the world in the future, I wouldn't be too lazy to help you unify this messy world. That's going to take me 20 years less! ”

Ten days later, Li Xiaofei and Liu Mingge arrived in Xiangyang, and they didn't even go home to see Liu Jian directly.

Liu Mingge didn't kneel down when he saw Liu Jian, and Li Xiaofei was slightly embarrassed after kneeling, "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Liu Mingge, who has traveled overseas for many years, and now he has come to Your Majesty with fifty boats and a lot of supplies!" ”

"Fortunately, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu has good manners, and he is a master at first glance!" Although Liu Jian was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't care about these etiquettes when he heard that he had brought the fleet and supplies

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, I eat whole grains, a layman, I didn't give His Majesty a big gift today, and my Majesty will not be surprised! Now that I'm here, I still have something to say to Your Majesty alone! ”

After Liu Mingge finished speaking, he hugged his arms and looked at Li Xiaofei, Li Xiaofei was a little surprised, this Mr. Liu actually had to break him up, he really couldn't guess his thoughts.

Liu Jian understood: "Xiaofei, you have also worked hard for more than half a year, tomorrow the court will definitely be rewarded, it is not early today, you should go home quickly!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty!" Li Xiaofei's words have long been said to be ripe, and they have also come out today

"You go home and pick up the child, your two wives are going to smoke you when you go back, don't do this with me!"

Li Xiaofei went home with interest.

When he returned home, he had six lines of tears, scolded and cried, and Li Xiaofei had to kneel on the washboard to reply.

The matter of Liu Mingge's return had already been reported to Shen Yuanhao and the rest of the academy. It's not that the inner prison leaked secrets, but that the person with a five-foot-long giant sword on his body is very swaggering wherever he goes, if it weren't for Liu Mingge's nearly nine feet long, this sword would be extremely incongruous on his back.

In addition, Liu Mingge took the fruits and snacks from roadside vendors all the way to the city without giving money, and Li Xiaofei threw a lot of money in the back, which had already caused a sensation in the city.

"Oh no! Liu Mingge is back! ”

"What? Uncle Shi is still alive? ”

"Didn't he hear from him? Back then, it was said that he was buried in the sea, could this be a fake? ”

"That long sword and style of doing things, there is no second person! No one else can learn it! ”

Everyone in Nanyang Academy was busy, they were all important ministers of the Xiliang Small Imperial Court, and they could make Taishan collapse in front of Emperor Liu Jian without changing their color, but when they heard Liu Mingge's name, they all panicked one by one.

"Don't panic, he's a rebel of the academy! We are on the right path, what are we afraid of him doing? "Shen Yuanhao is the dean in the end, and he is much stronger than others

"Yes, yes, he's heretical!"

"But we can't beat him, can we?"

"We are decent and reasonable, if we don't do it first, he won't make a move. Hurry up and meditate and pranayama, let's brake with stillness! "Shen Yuanhao seems to know Liu Mingge better, and he seems to be confident.

"Then let's pack up and go back to the academy, shall we?" Chen Zhengnan felt that he should go back to the academy before Liu Mingge.

"No, just wait for him in Shangshu Mansion, let's go first, doesn't it seem like we have stage fright?" Shen Yuanhao immediately rejected it

However, this matter was not up to them, and immediately an internal supervisor came to pass on Liu Jian's message: "Your Majesty, please Shang Shuling and you go to the academy immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

Shen Yuanhao and the others knelt on the ground and were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly thanked them.

Looking at the back of the inner prison in the distance, Shen Yuanhao sighed: "It seems that he has already expected our thoughts, everyone, good and evil cannot be separated, and we must not bow to him today!" Let's go to the academy together! ”

The more people there are, the more momentum will be enough, everyone thinks so, so the people who are officials in the court and the central government all follow, but Shen Yuanhao knows in his heart that in the face of a character like Liu Mingge, it is useless to have a lot of people.

When Liu Mingge came out of Liu Jian, he had an edict and a token in his hand, and went straight to the academy.

Back at the academy, the four nurses at the door stretched out their hands to stop Liu Mingge, Liu Mingge entered the door in a flash, the four nurses hurriedly rubbed their eyes, and then looked inside, there was no trace of Liu Mingge anymore.

"Did that guy go in just now?"

"There's someone going in, can't it be so fast?"

"Probably we were wrong, there are so many people coming and going at this door!"

"I guess it's wrong!"

Liu Mingge carried the long sword on his back until he entered the main hall, and several disciples came out to interrogate, and as soon as he took out the token given by the emperor, everyone hurriedly retreated.

On the throne of the main hall of the academy are the two sages of Confucius and Mencius and the great sages of the academy, Liu Mingge untied his sword and kowtowed respectfully several times.

After kowtowing, Liu Mingge got up and picked up his sword and sat on the main seat where the cave master usually sits, and several disciples who were waiting here panicked: "Distinguished guest, this position can only be sat by the cave master, please let it out!" ”

"Although you have the emperor's token, you can't mess around in the academy!"

Liu Mingge rose into the air and kicked the Taishi chair on the main seat into several pieces: "It's just a broken chair, you guys are really stupid to read!" ”

"How can you casually destroy the academy's property?"

"This is the position of the judge's book, let me tell you, this matter is not over today!"

"If you want to make trouble in the academy, our eight hundred disciples will definitely fight you to the end!"

Liu Mingge crossed his sword in front of him and sat down and laughed, "Yo, this academy is the same as the sects on the rivers and lakes, and it is worthy of being taught by my senior brother Yang Hengxin, haha"

"You madman! How dare you insult our ancestors! ”

"Someone, arrest this madman!"

Suddenly, dozens of disciples came at the door, holding a ring ruler and a wooden stick, to arrest Liu Mingge

Liu Mingge sneered: "Are you trying to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors?" Isn't there anyone in this academy who knows the name of my Liu Mingge? ”

As soon as they heard Liu Mingge report to his home, everyone hurriedly took a few steps back, and the wooden stick in their hands tightened.

Of course Liu Mingge understands what is going on, his brothers and nephews have smeared him a lot over the years, and the name Liu Mingge has become the number one villain in the hearts of the teachers and students of Nanyang Academy.

Liu Mingge just wanted to educate these disciples, and the guards scattered one after another

"Uncle Shi came from afar, and the little nephews were late to take over, so I ask Uncle Shi to forgive me!" Shen Yuanhao arrived with the others

Originally, Shen Yuanhao was just pretending to be polite, but Liu Mingge glared at everyone: "Did you hear it, your masters all call me uncle, just now which disciples who didn't succeed still came to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, they all hit me with my left hand thirty times on the right cheek and my right hand on the left side thirty times!" ”

Uncle Zhen Yuanhao shouted, and the disciples were naturally obedient, and the slaps outside the door came one after another.

Shen Yuanhao's face turned blue, but fortunately, Liu Mingge only waited for them to hit five times before stopping: "Forget it, it's all elm pimples, it's boring!" Boring! Judging Yuanhao, take me to see the room of the academy, is the food still so unpalatable! ”

Chen Zhengnan answered first: "Uncle Shi didn't come back to worship the ancestor, but went to the room first, this is not in accordance with the rules!" What's more, the gentleman is far away from cooking! ”

"What a gentleman and a chef! You don't kill them, but they die because you're going to eat meat! Others have sinned because you went to kill, and they have to make it for you to eat, and you still pick and choose when you eat! You are a gentleman, no wonder there are so many hypocrites in the world! The gun shot the first bird, and Chen Zhengnan was the first to be speechless by Liu Mingge

"Uncle Shi, this is also the way of a saint, we are adhering to the teachings of the saint, you call us hypocrites, it's not appropriate!" Huang Chuanting came up again

"Hehe, there are thousands of holy words of the saints, you will remember this food and never get tired of it! Have you remembered the hadith that in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they will not change their pleasures? Talk to me about the classics! You're still far away! How did my brother teach you such a group of mediocre people! ”

Huang Chuanting thought that he could refute Liu Mingge with the words of a sage, but he didn't expect Liu Mingge to refute it again by quoting scriptures.

Shen Yuanhao knew that the classics and ancient books could not be compared to Liu Mingge, so he smiled and said: "Thank you Uncle for your teachings, now there are many more dishes in this room than in the early years, and I also ask Uncle Shi to go and give some advice!" ”

"In the end, it's the eldest disciple of the academy, or is it sensible, okay, I won't scold you, this meal is the first major event in life, and no classics and principles can compare to the truth of eating! By the way, I ordered the room to add food and wine, and today I want to celebrate with all the disciples of the academy, and now the emperor has named me prime minister! After that, he took out the edict and showed it to Shen Yuanhao

Shen Yuanhao almost didn't catch the edict, he originally thought that the position of prime minister would be his sooner or later, and he had been wary of Chen Hongyi, but he was picked up by the rebellious uncle who ran back from overseas.

Could it be that the emperor is crazy and even gave the prime minister of the head of civil officials to a madman who has just returned from overseas?

Shen Yuanhao looked at the content of the edict and thought about it carefully, and he understood that there were many treasures in the army and fleet brought back by this rebellious uncle, and there was a crucial sentence in the edict: "Overseas lonely loyalty shows the courtiers", it is obvious that the emperor knows the grievances between Liu Mingge and the academy, and the reason why he gave Liu Mingge the position of prime minister is to let him restrain the power of the academy.

Since the wood has been completed, then accept it, anyway, the coming day is long, so the surface article is full of work, and Shen Yuanhao entertained the prime minister's uncle with the highest standard banquet, and the feelings of teachers and students were expressed during the banquet, which seemed to be harmonious and tight at first glance. Liu Mingge did not refuse to toast and toast, the academy went into battle together, and finally after Liu Mingge ate the last plate of snacks, the teachers and students of the academy couldn't hold back and fell to the ground, Liu Mingge wiped his mouth and walked away!
