"We know that there is nothing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't do."

Sima Shao said modestly: "Where, what can I do?" You have to thank the county for your accommodation. ”

All the students frowned and said, "That dog officer, forget it!" ”

Sima Shao said with a smile: "Hurry up and talk about it with other classmates, don't go back to your hometown with a sad face, I estimate that it won't take more than a month to resume classes." ”

All the students clasped their fists together and said, "We can resume classes, thank you His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Sima Shao shook his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I am your senior, called Senior Brother!" ”

All the students smiled together and said, "Senior brother." ”

I heard that the academy didn't need to be closed, and the students who were going to leave at the moment were all called back.

It's just that some people walked too fast, and they didn't have time to get to the ferry, and a few students immediately agreed to send letters to their homes, telling them to return to the academy in full.

At that moment, all the students were happily returning to the academy.

Xu Weiran went out and met a few people who scolded: "How did you do it? Do you dare to come back, aren't you afraid that the officers and soldiers will arrest you one by one? ”

Seeing Xu Weiran say this, all the students looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.

Sima Shao said to Xu Weiran: "Brother Xu! ”

Xu Weiran was surprised and said, "Your Highness, why are you back?" They didn't ask you to help, did they? ”

Then Xu Weiran stomped his feet and said: "Confused, you are the champion now, and your every move has attracted their attention, if you are involved in this matter, will you have your fame in the future?" Hurry back to the mansion and don't get involved. ”

Sima Shao said with a smile: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I have already negotiated this matter with the magistrate. ”

At that moment, His Royal Highness Xu made the matter clear to Xu Weiran.

Xu Weiran suddenly said: "I see." ”

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, our academy can be saved, thanks to His Highness!" ”

......

Sima Shao arched his hand and said: "Brother Xu, this is just a little bit of a trivial thing, in fact, the county magistrate is also a reasonable person." ”

Xu Weiran nodded and said, "Yes, it is better to remember people with grievances, than to remember people with gratitude." ”

At that moment, Xu Weiran said to the surrounding students: "You remember that this matter is over, and you are not allowed to go to the government to make trouble again, and the dean told you to prepare for next year's government examination and imperial examination, which is your top priority." ”

All the students laughed and said yes at the moment.

A student smiled and said, "Brother Xu, let's hurry up and tell the dean about this!" ”

"Yes! The dean must be happier than we are. And they all said yes.

"That's not it, this academy is the dean's hard work for decades!"

Xu Weiran smiled and said, "Okay then." ”

So everyone walked to the dean's place, and on the way they met all the lecturers, and they were happy to learn that the college did not need to close.

When they arrived at the dean's place, everyone saw that the door was closed.

Everyone was standing outside the door, and Xu Weiran walked up a few steps and shouted to the door: "Dean? ”

Called a few words.

No one in the room answered, Xu Weiran looked back left and right and asked, "Which of you saw the dean leave the academy today?" ”

Everyone said, "I don't see it." ”

A lecturer said: "I saw that after the students left today, the dean locked the courtyard himself, and then returned to the house alone, probably in the house without going out." ”

Xu Weiran listened and pushed the door in front of the door of the library. But when he saw that the door could not be pushed, it seemed that someone had blocked it with a bolt from the inside.

Someone said: "Could it be that the dean is taking a nap?" ”

Another said: "But the dean never locks the door when he takes a nap!" ”

Xu Weiran was also strange in his heart, stretched out his hand and tapped on the door: "Dean? Dean? ”

No one answered in the room, and when they saw these students, they also knocked on the door and shouted to the door: "Dean? Dean? ”

In this way, even if it is a nap, it should be heard, but there is no answer in the door, and several students are a little panicked, and they start to knock on the door, but the door frame does not move at all.

Sima Shao asked Lin Feng, "Before you left today, what did the dean say to you?" ”

Lin Feng said: "The dean warned us that the eldest husband should do something, you are still young, not as old as him, why ......"

Sima Shao suddenly changed color and said: "Confused! Why didn't you hear it! ”

Lin Feng and several students also sweated on their foreheads and said, "I, I." I waited for the grief and indignation in my heart at that time, and I didn't pay attention. ”

Sima Shao stepped forward and shouted, "What are you waiting for?" Knock the door open! ”

At that moment, a few students with great strength slammed the door hard, and after a few clicks, the door loosened a crack.

A person went in and looked inside the crack in the door, and suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Dean he, Dean he ......"

More than a dozen students didn't say a word at the moment, and slammed the door together.

With a thud, the door was slammed open.

Everyone rushed into the house together, a small stool on the ground overturned, and a three-foot white silk straddled over the main beam of the room.

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

The students raised their heads and shouted in unison, looking at the dean with a calm complexion and closed eyes.

But seeing that the dean's appearance was still kind, the Confucian robe on his body was as neat as usual, as meticulous as his studies.

The dean dismissed all the students and let them leave the academy, and then hanged himself alone in his room with the door closed.

"Dean!" The students were in mourning.

Xu Weiran and more than a dozen students knelt on the ground, holding the body of the dean who had been angry for a long time with his hands and crying.

Then the students carefully lifted him up from the white silk and then held him flat on the ground.

All the students were crying beside the dean, and Xu Weiran also wept: "Dean, why don't you talk to me." ”

Several students cried and said, "Dean, His Royal Highness the Prince, I have already told the magistrate that our academy does not need to be closed. Did you hear that? ”

Lin Feng paused and blamed himself: "We are still a step late. ”

Chen Xinggui squatted on the ground and said, "What's the use of you talking about this now?" ”

Dozens of people knelt beside the dean in the library, including students and lecturers.

Sima Shao picked up a piece of white paper with words written on it on the table next to the room, and a pen rested next to the white paper.

Xu Weiran held up the paper, his wrist trembled slightly, but he saw a few words written on the white paper.

......

Xu Weiran looked at the students and said, "The dean said that people are inherently dead, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather, and they tend to be different when they are used. Taishang does not insult the first, then does not insult the body, then does not insult the reason, then does not insult the rhetoric, and then humiliates the body; secondly, it is easy to be humiliated, secondly, it is humiliated, secondly, it is humiliated, secondly, it is humiliated, secondly, it is humiliated, it is humiliated, and it is extremely corrupt. ”

Xu Weiran said and spoke, and he stopped choking and couldn't say another word, and finally he could only bow down to the dean's corpse, and then turn his head and walk out of the house.

The students on the side also went to the dean one by one, bowed and bowed, and then walked out of the study room.

When it was Sima Shao's turn.

Sima Shao saw the dean's serene face, and felt uncomfortable for a while, thinking of his earnest teaching to the students on weekdays, and remembering that although he was old and didn't know how long he could live, he wanted to see the scenery of the first day of his students' scientific examination, but now he was ......

Sima Shao couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart, and finally bowed, got up and walked outside the house.
