"What, he's leaving?" Zhu Che was not very happy, but looked at him in confusion.

"There was an accident in Nanjing, and he went by himself." Zhen Gui held his hand.

"That's all this guy can do...... Why did he tell you only one person and then leave without saying goodbye? Zhu Che asked nonchalantly.

This question made Wang Zhengui feel excited, and his hairs stood on end; He raised his head vigilantly, but after seeing Zhu Che's expression, he was immediately relieved. "Xia Renying just had a big quarrel with the princes, and he was still angry in his heart, I am afraid that he will not have time to do this."

Zhu Che clapped his hands and said: "This is better, I can show my strength in Suzhou!" ”

He stood up with a little excitement and wandered around the hall for a while, but then suddenly stopped and glanced helplessly at Wang Zhengui.

Wang Zhengui was silent, but arched his hand to him, signaling him to speak if he had something to say.

"Jin Gui, although this is the case, but since you have asked for the name of participating in politics and offended the government, how should you deal with it now?" Zhu Che sighed bitterly.

Wang Zhengui thought for a while, and then said: "In the past, Xia Vice League instructed me that after the name of the Academy of Political Participation was established, people with lofty ideals should be recruited to expand the ranks. Although there is some arrogance and ignorance in this statement, it can still be heard in half of it. ”

"Halfway through?"

"Yes," Wang Zhengui nodded, "We can add and synthesize the opinions of the people, write a document and submit it to the prefect, and handle it according to the procedures, instead of further gathering people to make trouble, it will definitely give a good impression to the government and distinguish us from Xia Yuanlong's party." ”

Zhu Che suddenly woke up: "That's right, we must first abandon Xia Yuanlong's thoughts and let the world know that I am a school of my own in Suzhou!" I just don't know who can do it, tell the people of Futai? ”

Wang Zhengui opened his mouth and slowly pointed his left hand at himself, and was about to introduce himself, but was interrupted by a few ghost crying wolf howls outside.

Zhu Che ordered Zhengui to sit first, and he hurriedly opened the door and went out, and asked the scholar: "Who is crying in the outer courtyard?" ”

The scholar was frightened and couldn't speak, pointed behind him, and saw Song Zhang, dressed in a white linen mourning robe and wearing a white hat, stumbling in, his face covered with tears, crying hoarsely, almost dumb.

Zhu Che stood there straight, and only after a moment did he come to his senses and hold the shoulders of Vice Dean Song Zhang: "Governor Song, Governor Song, what happened?" ”

Song Zhang wiped away a handful of tears and grabbed Zhu Che's arm: "Professor Yao died in his apartment this morning, and I learned at noon that my mood could not be calmed down so far...... Strong support body, I am here to mourn ......"

Zhu Che listened, his body staggered, his eyes rolled white, and he almost leaned back. Fortunately, others supported him and sat down at the bottom of the steps, and then wept bitterly, and Song Zhang cried for a long time, lamenting that the sky is not long.

Zhu Che changed into white clothes and white scarves, set up Yao Xiaogu's spiritual seat in the main hall, led a group of scholars from the academy, personally kowtowed as a sacrifice, and read the eulogy with Zhen Gui and others.

After a moment of silence, Wang Zhengui coughed a few times, took off his hat, and persuaded Zhu Che in public: "People are dead and cannot be resurrected." Professor Yiu's mission in this life is to accomplish the great cause of the College and save the people of Li from misery. Now the government is in a hurry, if you don't decide the plan early, but abolish the official business, I'm afraid it is not Yao Gong's original wish. I hope that the dean's heartless pain will not make the deceased regret for life. ”

Zhu Che has always used Zhengui as a confidant, and when he heard his words, he resolutely covered the grief in his heart, gritted his teeth, wiped his tears, and beckoned to Song Zhang: "Come, go into the inner room and talk." ”

When the three of them entered the back room, Wang Zhengui repeated the previous words, and then turned his head and said to Song Zhang: "Since the governor doesn't want to care about mundane affairs and provoke right and wrong, then he will be left to his subordinates to deal with it." ”

Although this was Song Zhang's heart, today, because of Yao Xiaogu's death, he suddenly remembered the vice president's advice before his death.

"Wang Zhengui is not available...... Song Zhang thought silently in his heart, and glanced at the fat man with a cold face, "Mr. Yao persuaded him with death at the beginning, and this statement is like a will, and it carries a lot of weight. Shall its corpse be discarded before it is cold? After thinking about it, he gave an unexpected answer: "Jin Gui, as a salt class, is still not very convenient to take care of the affairs of the book; I don't know anything about secular affairs, but for the sake of the bright future of the college, it's nothing to be tired. Dean, leave it to me. ”

"I am responsible for giving opinions and arranging who to do, and I will listen to you." Wang Zhengui showed a smile that no one noticed, just squinted his eyes, and the afterglow was Zhu Che.

Zhu Che was stunned by his unusual courage, and couldn't help but sigh again and again: "Good, good!" It is very suitable for you to experience Si Gan, Governor Song's heart can be learned, and he will be able to succeed immediately! ”

Song Zhang, who had a withered face, had a lot of ruddy face, and was busy thanking Zhu Che and Wang Zhengui.

"It's just that Yao Gongfang is gone, the soul is not at peace, we can't rush for utilitarianism, forget the word love and righteousness, this is the purpose of my academy. When mourning for Yao Gong for three days, the plaque of the Academy of Politics was replaced. "Everyone said yes, and then it was done.

In order to prevent the sudden change of the situation in the past three days and the danger of being taken advantage of by the government, Song Zhang went to the experience department every day to check the correspondence of the departments to ensure the circulation of information; Therefore, Wang Zhengui didn't dare to move, he didn't even dare to see the prefect's face, and he only used secret letters to communicate in everything, which was very troublesome.

Fortunately, time flies, and as soon as the three-day mourning period has passed, the college is finally willing to make a big move. Under Zhu Che's supervision, the workers removed the large plaque of the original Sihe Academy, replaced it with the four golden characters of 'Participating in the Political Academy' written by him, decorated it with a blue background, and nailed it to the door. In the end, two or three layers of people were crowded, and almost a thick wall was formed, and the officers and soldiers could not restrain the inspection.

Zhu Che held the outstretched hands of the people all the way, and was about to return to the house, when Wang Zhengui persuaded him: "If you take advantage of this to preach to the public and explain the truth, you can win the hearts of the people!" ”

Zhu Che was afraid that the government would ask for guilt, but he thought that Zhengui said that it must be a good plan, so he reluctantly obeyed, walked to the front steps with Governor Song, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, Zhu Mou dared to set up this 'Politics Academy', not to resist the government, but to solve the malpractice and save the trouble, and help the world to get on the right path, so it is not as extreme and useless as Wei's, and it has fallen into empty talk." In the future, all scholars with great talents, regardless of whether they are high or low, will be able to enter the academy to participate in politics and discuss politics, and speak to the government! ”

The people all stood up and cheered.

"Also, don't you think that the drum in front of the yamen is dusty, and no one dares to knock on it! Then this academy is a new drum to ensure that you can speak as you like! ”

When the literati heard such a generous statement, they also shouted hello to the people, but the voice instantly disappeared into the sound of the crowd.
