Chapter 37: Critical Illness and Illness (3)
The door was pushed open, and a plainly dressed literati greeted him, and Xia Yuanlong recognized it at a glance as someone from the alliance and motioned for him to sit down.
"Is Nanjing okay?" Xia Yuanlong asked worriedly.
The man shook his head sadly: "If it's good, how can I come back to you?" ”
"Say it quickly!" Xia Yuanlong urged.
"It's King Wanjun who is preparing to take over the academy."
"Take over the academy......" Xia Yuanlong paused, "What kind of takeover method?" ”
"All the expenses of the academy are under the control of the government, so the entire academy will be handed over to others, which is really amazing!"
"This condition is too unreasonable, I don't know if Mr. Wei refused?" Xia Yuanlong continued to ask.
"No, no."
Xia Yuanlong's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, and stood up: "I have to go back!" ”
"Can you walk today?"
Xia Yuanlong walked quickly to the door and leaned against the wall: "It's still too late." Everyone walked, slept well, arranged some things tomorrow, and set off at noon. ”
"Don't rush to leave, stay here for the night."
The next morning, Xia Yuanlong went to the lecture hall first, waited for a while, and saw Vice President Zhu and the four counselors coming immediately.
"There was a sudden change in Nanjing, and I had to leave Suzhou. Mr. Zhu, you are the dean, and Governor Song will take your place; The counselor will choose one more person to fill in. In the future, it will all depend on you to support the academy, and it will be difficult to come back. Xia Yuanlong said.
Zhu Che hurriedly said: "As soon as the dean goes, I'm afraid there will be chaos here!" ”
Xia Yuanlong touched his forehead: "This is also easy to do." There is another post of inspector here, which is vacant for the time being, and when I return to Nanjing, I will send someone to serve as an inspector. ”
"Okay, as long as we can't cut off the connection with Nanjing, let's relax." Governor Song stroked his beard.
Xia Yuanlong dusted his sleeves, "It's too late to say goodbye to everyone, I'll leave immediately and say goodbye!" He walked down the lecture hall and walked side by side with the man from Nanjing.
At the gate of Sihe Academy in Nanjing, there were several more teams of burly officers and soldiers. Xia Yuanlong felt déjà vu in this scene, but the situation was completely different.
He jumped off his horse, and the two officers and soldiers raised their guns horizontally: "What are you doing?" Sign-up word. ”
Xia Yuanlong was very calm: "Xia Yuanlong, the deputy leader of the Sihe Academy and the deputy leader of the Sihe Academy, please get out of the way." ”
The officer and soldier showed a pair of fierce eyes: "The king of the county has an order, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at this moment." ”
Xia Yuanlong snorted disdainfully: "I am the deputy alliance leader of the academy, and I have to go in no matter what." ”
The officers and soldiers shouted: "Stand down! ”
Xia Yuanlong glared at him angrily, and took a step forward, and the officers and soldiers took a step back with a fierce light, until the tip of the spear reached his chest.
"I'm the chief of the country, do you know what's wrong?" He gripped the handle of the gun with all his strength, as if he was about to cut it off.
The officer's hand shook first, and he slowly withdrew his gun. "Get out of the way!" He waved his hand and said.
"Renying!" Wei Huai trotted out of the study and shouted with open arms.
"Brother Hemin!" Xia Yuanlong hurriedly caught up, "What's going on here?" ”
Wei Huai leaned on the vine crutch and said, "Renying will sit down first and talk slowly." ”
"Has the situation in Suzhou eased?" Wei Huai pretended to be calm and asked.
"Rest assured. However, Li Pheasant Zhong and I were deposed and replaced with a new dean...... It's not over, but the situation has stabilized. After Xia Yuanlong finished speaking, he asked him rhetorically: "Jimin, why did the Wan Dang attack us?" ”
Wei Huai sighed, his breath trembling a little: "I made a big mistake at that time. The reason for this is that the dispute between the Wan Party and the Mainland Party has intensified, many innocent officials have been punished, and many people have been implicated. The city of Nanjing was in a panic, and everywhere was afraid of catching fast soldiers. Wan Heshun also pretended to be worried about the country and the people at this time, saying that he couldn't bear to see the people like this, so he summoned me to the government to discuss countermeasures. I was so anxious that I couldn't think too much about it for a while, so I went straight to his house. As a result, the prince changed his words and talked about 'taking over the academy'......"
"I was on his turf, and I didn't dare to refute, so I immediately agreed to let me go back to the academy. I wanted to take a step at a time, but who knew that Wan Heshun posted the news of taking over the academy and sent the army to come directly for questioning. I did agree to Wandang's request, what else can I say? Gathering the people and fighting against the government, this panacea will not work at all. ”
Xia Yuanlong clapped his hands: "Why don't you call me back?" ”
Wei Huai patted him on the shoulder: "Someone mentioned it to me, but I'm afraid that you are tired of dealing with big things in Suzhou, and you are tired of what you do." ”
Xia Yuanlong smiled bitterly.
"I have to go to the palace again and persuade the king of Wanjun, no one can help us except him." Wei Huai said solemnly.
"Governor Ye's Mansion may be able to make a difference......" Xia Yuanlong pinched his cheek, "It's best for you to go into the palace to explore the style, but it's hard to talk about it." ”
Wei Huai knocked on his crutches: "No more verbose, I'll leave immediately!" He was determined to step out of the threshold.
"Official uniform, don't be in such a hurry!" Xia Yuanlong took off the official uniform hanging on the chair and threw it into his arms.
"Yue Gong," Zheng Shiyan, the leader of the Yue Mansion, held the helmet in his hand, knelt one leg forward, and said, "Wei and the people went to the palace again." ”
Lu Fangxuan smiled: "Wan Heshun's good strategy." ”
"The subordinates are ignorant, and they really don't know what to do." Zheng Shiyan stood behind him.
"You still can't see it? This academy represents the people's hearts, and a person like him who behaves despicably wants to play with the people's hearts. He took over the academy, not only forcing the entire Nanjing Literary and Art League to express his stance for this party struggle, but also coercing thousands of people to help it prestige. ”
"It's so dangerous, you should have intervened early." Zheng Shiyan suggested.
Lu Fangxuan laughed again: "No need, no need!" When someone came forward, we added firewood to it and set it on fire. Commander Zheng, probe again. ”
"Yes." Zheng Shiyan clenched his fists.
Wei Huai walked to the living room of the palace, walked to the wall, and saw Ye Yongjia coming out with a pile of papers.
"Governor Ye." He stood in front of Ye Yongjia.
"Mr. Wei." Ye Yongjia bowed.
"What are you doing with this?" Wei Huai glanced at his paperwork.
"Laying off people, arresting people, killing people, but these three sets." Ye Yongjia sneered, "Maybe a good official can't be a good official for the time being." ”
"Looks like I slapped me at the wrong time, right?" Wei Huai asked jokingly.
After hearing this, Yongjia just laughed dryly, and soon they both smiled.
"The academy is in trouble?" Ye Yongjia knew that his heart was dull, and he had already saved eight or nine.
"I don't know what to do," Wei Huai shook his head, "Renying said that you can play a key role, and I feel that way too." But I don't even know your role in that. No matter what the role is, after all, it is no match for the government that monopolizes power, and the strength of you and me is weak after all, and the same is true of the power of the people of Nanjing. Wei Huai sadly rubbed shoulders with him and walked over.
