The little eunuch who passed the word of mouth rushed to the major academies overnight and spread the news of entering the palace tomorrow to the ears of several great Confucians.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was to discuss the beating of students on the street that happened today.

Yunfei Academy and Tongwenguan learned the news, and the students in the academy were naturally very happy.

But for these great Confucians, they are not very happy in their hearts, such a thing has happened, and it involves the three major academies, and the Holy Lord wants to summon them, that is for sure.

And if you want to take advantage of this matter to suppress the Egret Academy, the controversy in the court must have the upper hand.

This kind of thing alone is not enough to greatly damage the vitality of the Egret Academy, but at least it can weaken its prestige among the people to a certain extent.

Just doing this is enough.

Inside Egret Academy.

Xia Zhixu received the commandment, and there was no surprise in his heart.

However, the other teaching assistants of the academy had a faint look of worry on their faces.

They were certainly angry at Qin Yu for being so reckless and causing such a result, but since the matter had already happened, then the impact of the matter must be minimized.

"Mr. Xia, tomorrow when you face the saint, you will definitely have to face the accusations of the other two houses on this matter, I wonder if you have a good solution in your heart?"

Xia Zhixu shook his head and said, "There is a holy ruling, are you still afraid of their accusations?" ”

"That being said, we're still a little worried."

"There is no need to be like this, the Holy One is not a mediocre person, if they are allowed to join forces to suppress the White Egret Academy, it will destroy the current balance in Kyoto, which is not what the Holy One wants to see."

When the other people heard this, they felt that there was some truth in this, and they looked at each other and did not say anything more.

..

The next morning.

Xia Zhixu had just come to the main gate of the palace when he happened to meet Lu Li, the dean of Yunfei Academy, and Chang Yi, the curator of Tongwen Pavilion.

"It's been a long time since you've seen each other."

After all, what happened was wrong, so Xia Zhixu stepped forward and took the initiative to say hello.

The two of them didn't hold the shelf because of this, they also said hello in return, their attitude was peaceful, and there was no displeasure, but what they thought in their hearts is unknown.

The three of them walked towards the palace together.

The location of the outer palace is led by the guards who are responsible for the security of the palace, and after arriving at the door of the inner palace, the inner palace will lead the way.

When the early dynasties were not up, the emperor generally worked in the Chengde Palace.

However, because the weather is getting colder, although Dazhou is located in the east, the temperature is cold early.

Therefore, the eunuch who led the way took the three great Confucians to the warm pavilion.

Inside the warm pavilion.

Siu is also in the process of correcting the recitals submitted by the Cabinet.

A little eunuch walked in hurriedly and silently, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Shengshang, Mr. Xia, Mr. Lu, Mr. Chang and are waiting outside the pavilion." ”

The Zhu pen in Xiao Yi's hand paused, and then gestured to Gao Jing standing beside him.

Takai gestured and said loudly, "Please come in, three gentlemen." ”

"Yes."

The little eunuch got permission and bowed and withdrew.

After a while, Xia Zhixu and the others who were waiting outside the door were brought in.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Xiao Yi put down the pen in his hand and said to Gao Jing beside him, "Give the three gentlemen a seat." ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord."

The three of them hurriedly thanked each other, and sat down like this.

Xiao Yi put aside the recital in front of the table, glanced at the faces of the three of them, and then slowly spoke:

"The matter of Changle Street, I already have a clear understanding, the responsibility lies with the Egret Academy, there is no doubt about it, and inviting the three of you here today is not to consider the question of right and wrong, but about how to save the reputation of Yunfei Academy in this incident, and Qin Yu's remarks that insinuated the stele master."

When Xia Zhixu heard this, he glanced at the other two, and then faced Xiao Yi and said, "The main responsibility for this matter is still on the Egret Academy, no matter how the Holy Lord punishes him, the old man has nothing to say." ”

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Lu Li and Changyi to see what they said.

"It is all up to the Holy Lord."

The two had expected this situation for a long time, so they were not surprised.

The original purpose was to weaken the weight of the Egret Academy in the hearts of the saints, and at the same time to increase its influence among the people, as long as the final result was to come to the door to apologize, then the destination would be achieved.

Xiao Yi nodded, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke:

"The impact of the beating incident is very great, in order to take into account the face of Yunfei Academy and the beaten scholars, it is inevitable to come to the door to apologize, about this, can Mr. Xia and Mr. Lu accept this."

"What the Holy One says is just."

The two replied with no objection to this result.

Seeing that the two of them did not object, Xiao Yi continued: "As for the students who Qin Yu ridiculed, just come to the door to apologize, and let Qin Yu write a letter of apology and send it over, are you two willing to accept it?" ”

Lu Li and Changyi glanced at each other, still a little dissatisfied with this decision.

In essence, he wanted to suppress the prestige of the Egret Academy, and it would be great if he could come to apologize.

However, in view of the authority of the royal family and the avoidance of too rigid relations with the Egret Academy, he could only nod his head in agreement. But this kind of punishment is not painful at all for Qin Yu himself, so isn't Hu Shi's beating in vain?

Thinking of this, Lu Li hesitated for a while, but still spoke:

"The Holy Lord is indeed thoughtful, but Qin Yu has not been punished, it is inevitable that he will not be able to convince the public, and I hope that the Holy Lord will consider one or two."

When Xiao Yi heard this, he frowned, he was able to let Qin Yu come to the door to apologize, this was already a great damage to the prestige of the Egret Academy, how could he still be an inch away from Lu Li.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse this, Takai, who was standing on the side, took two steps forward at this time and said in his ear:

"Holy Lord, if you don't punish Qin Yu, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the students of Yunfei Academy, and even intensify the fight between the two academies.

Xiao Yi also made some sense when he heard it, his eyes swept downward, and he looked at Xia Zhixu.

"Mr. Xia, I don't know what you think of Mr. Lu's words."

"It's all up to the Holy One."

"Well, according to my thoughts, about this Qin Yu...."

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the pavilion.

"Holy Lord, the king of the criminal department has come to see you!"

Xiao Yi was stunned, not understanding what Wang Yue was doing here at this time.

After muttering for a while, he let Takai announce that he was in.

Wang Yue, the servant of the Criminal Department, trotted all the way into the warm pavilion. When he saw that the deans of the three major academies were actually there, the expression on his face changed slightly.

Then he took a few steps forward and bowed towards Xiao Yi.

"Wang Shilang, come to see me at this time, what's the matter?"

"Saint, something is wrong, Qin Yu of Egret Academy rushed to Yunfei Academy not long ago and beat the students inside."

"What did you say!"

Before Xiao Yi could speak, Lu Li, who was sitting below, stood up with an incredible expression on his face.

"This matter is in a uproar, I heard that it was the students of Yunfei Academy who made disrespectful remarks and insulted Egret Academy, after being heard by that Qin Yu, he couldn't get angry, so he went directly to the door."

"How is it now?" Xiao Yi's face was a little ugly.

"The situation at the scene has stabilized, dozens of disciples of Yunfei Academy have been injured, and that Qin Yu has also been subdued. However, the situation is not optimistic. Wang Yue hurriedly replied.

Lu Li's face was even more red with anger at this moment, and he looked at Xia Zhi and Xu Li angrily and shouted; "Xia Zhixu, is this the student taught by your Egret Academy!"

"The academy was humiliated, Qin Yu came to the door to ask for the explanation, although the way was a little reckless, it can be seen that he also has blood, the old man is very pleased!"

"You!"

Lu Li wanted to say something, but at this time, Wang Yue spoke again:

"Although the students of Yunfei Academy have been injured, but that Qin Yu, if it weren't for the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department who went quickly, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do it....."

Hearing that he was almost killed, Xiao Yi's face instantly turned blue and slapped the table fiercely!

"Bang!"

The loud sound startled the others present.

Lu Li and Xia Zhixu reacted at this time, where they were now, and hurriedly suppressed the anger in their hearts and pleaded guilty.

Xiao Yi stared at the two of them with an ugly face, took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed his anger and said, "I still have to think about how to deal with these things, let's go back first." ”

Xia Zhixu and the three of them didn't dare to say anything more at this time, and after bowing their hands, they left the warm pavilion and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Except for Changyi's face, there was no emotion, but the other two were full of anger!

At the same time, there were constant wails in Yunfei Academy, and the voices of insulting Qin Yu were also one after another, like a shrew scolding the street.

This made Lu Yi, who hurried back and heard it, his face full of iron.

As for the other side, Qin Yu was lying on the couch with a blue nose and swollen face at this time, surrounded by many people.

It wasn't until Xia Zhixu came back that the rest of the disciples gradually dispersed, leaving Wang Yu and Zhang Miao in the room.

In the face of the inquiry, Wang Yu and Zhang Miao did not dare to hide it, and told the ins and outs of the matter.

After Xia Zhixu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "If something like this happens, it seems that Qin Yu can't continue to stay in Liyang, and the old man will present an excerpt to the saint later, let Qin Yu go to Youlan County, and let him reflect on it." ”

"Master Xia, then this matter ....."

Zhang Miao wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wang Yu on the side.

Xia Zhixu glanced at Zhang Miao and said calmly: "Don't worry about it anymore, the old man will deal with it." ”

The two hurriedly whispered "yes".

..

What has happened in the past few days is spreading among the people in the city.

Most of the spearheads were pointed at Qin Yu.

After all, it was true that Qin Yu hit people first, and after someone deliberately guided the public opinion, it had already become a form of collapse, and the vast majority of the people began to have some resistance to the Egret Academy in their hearts.

However, fortunately, Yunfei Academy and Tongwen Hall were afraid of the royal family, and they did not dare to suppress it too blatantly.

Early in the morning.

Qin Yu led the horse, carrying the burden on his back, and slowly walked out of the west gate of Liyang.

After walking across the suspension bridge, Qin Yu stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zhang, you don't need to send it anymore, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the morning class." ”

"It's a long way to go, so be careful on the road." Zhang Miao instructed.

Qin Yu nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.

On the side, Wang Yu's expression was still stern, but when he looked at Qin Yu, whose injuries had not yet fully recovered, his face softened slightly.

"Master Xia is also doing this for your own good, these few good things you have done are making a lot of noise, sending you to Youlan County is to hone your character, and secondly, to avoid the limelight, don't live up to Master Xia's hard work."

Qin Yu sighed, didn't say anything more, and after bending down and saluting the two, he turned over and rode away.
