Chapter 16: I Have the Final Say
On the day of the opening of Chang'an College, Ye Tian had no intention of holding any ceremony.
The ceremonial things are not all meaningless, and sometimes they can really play a role in stirring people's hearts and raising their morale.
But the refugees have been living in the mountains for months, and they have seen and even participated in many things. Ye Tian believes that giving them time to feel and understand on their own may not be worse than holding a school opening ceremony and saying a few empty words.
And if they are willing to be satisfied with the status quo and are unwilling to fight for their future, then it is useless for others to say more.
But I didn't expect that there would be an accident for no reason.
When Ye Tian and the others came to the gate of Chang'an College, the first thing they saw was several circles of people inside and outside. Looking through the gap between the heads, a small space was vacated in the center of the circle, and two groups of people were confronting and arguing.
The periphery was full of students and their families, and soon found out about Ye Tian's arrival, and hurriedly retreated to both sides to make a passage.
The movement here also attracted the attention of two groups of people in the center of the circle.
Those two groups of people, one dressed differently, and the identities of some of them were clear at a glance, and they were government officials. The rest of the people are old and young, and judging by their clothes, they can also judge their origin - they are the masters and students of the Qiyang official school. The other group of people is dressed very uniformly, who is not the guard who is in charge of guarding the academy today?
The two groups of people saw that the onlookers made way for Ye Tian and a few people, even if they didn't know Ye Tian's appearance, they could guess who they would be based on the rumored description and other people's reactions.
The scene was silent for a while.
Ye Tian's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He led Gu Liuli and Su Linglong into the center slowly, stood in front of the two groups of people, looked around at both sides, and finally looked at the empty place, and asked, "What's the trouble?"
didn't look at any of them, coupled with this gloomy face, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and no one answered.
Obviously he is only the head of a third-rate force, and his actual age is not yet a weak crown, why is he so dignified?
Fu Dongnan walked to Ye Tian's side, bent down slightly, whispered a few words, and then retreated to the place where he should stand, making enough gestures to set off Ye Tian's power.
Ye Tian looked at the oldest, about sixty years old, and asked, "Is this Mr. Wei Zitingwei?"
"It's the old man. Wei Ziting nodded and asked, "Little brother is the head of Ye Tianye?"
"Yes. Ye Tian smiled and said: "I have heard that Mr. Wei is famous for a long time, and I don't know what I have to say when I come to the door today, and why did there be an accident here?"
What he said about "being famous after a long time" is not a polite remark.
Wei Ziting once served as a doctor of Dahua Guozijian, and his official residence was six products, and soon after returning to his hometown of Qiyang, he was invited by the prefect of Qiyang to serve as the director of Qiyang official school. Although this official scholar did not belong to the court officials, Wei Ziting had the experience of serving in the Guozijian and still had a high status and prestige among the literati in Qiyang.
Chang'an College hired teachers earlier, and Xu Haoran asked Wei Ziting to come forward and introduce several literati with real talents. It's just that Wei Ziting didn't want to have any intersection with the martial arts sect, so he firmly refused.
Wei Ziting saw that Ye Tian's attitude was much gentler in an instant, his heart was greatly calm, and he listened to his question again, and immediately said in a cold voice: "Before the old man says what he wants, Master Ye might as well give the old man an explanation first, why would Chang'an start beating people?"
Ye Tian was slightly stunned, looked at several gentlemen and students behind him, and found that there was a young man in his twenties whose face was pale, his clothes were wet and dirty, and he even fell on the snow.
Ye Tian turned his head to look at the group of guards, but he didn't see the chief of the guards, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Who are you under the command?"
One person replied, "Chief Guo Peng." ”
Qiu Rubai came over and explained: "Every day, the tasks of the department are arranged, and several guard commanders have to concentrate on training. But they all have a designated person to temporarily manage their subordinates. ”
Ye Tian knew about this and didn't mean to blame Qiu Rubai or Guo Peng. He continued to ask the person who had just answered: "Who is the person designated by Guo Peng?"
Before the man could speak, a person next to him consciously answered: "Master, it's me." ”
Zhou Chengjian, Tian Bin, or the Li family of the original Yunshan faction planted the nail in the Chang'an Society.
Is he the temporary commander designated by Guo Peng?
Ye Tian immediately understood: It is estimated that Guo Peng heard about the relationship between the original Yunshan faction and the Chang'an Society, and thought that Zhou Chengjian was more trustworthy than the other guards who joined later, right?
He glanced at Zhou Chengjian deeply and asked, "What did Mr. Wei say about beating people?"
Zhou Chengjian looked resentful and pointed at the person opposite: "As soon as these guys come, they will obstruct the lectures of the masters." When we heard the news, we stopped them, and they called us a bunch of reckless people who were not qualified to talk to them. The brothers were so angry that they pushed and shoved a few times, and the man slipped and fell, and the gang was about to do something with us. ”
As soon as his voice fell, Wei Ziting immediately blew his beard and glared at him: "Nonsense! When have we ever scolded you for being reckless?"
"We asked you why you were obstructing the lecture, and you said that there was no need to explain it to us, didn't you mean it?"
"Can you call the shots about this academy? Otherwise, why would the old man have to explain it to you? Also, even if the old man said that there is no need to explain it to you, can this mean the same as calling you a reckless man? Ridiculous!"
Zhou Chengjian shouted angrily: "Then let's push a few times, what does it mean to beat people?"
Wei Ziting's lips trembled angrily: "It's not a beating, why are you pushing?"
"Why do you hinder our master from Chang'an Academy's lecture? Since you are unreasonable, why do we have to talk about it?"
"That's enough!" Ye Tian stopped arguing and asked Wei Ziting: "Dare to ask Mr. Wei, what is the matter of obstructing the class?" I have the final say on the matter of Chang'an College, you can explain it to me. ”
"Okay, the old man will discuss the matter with you first. Wei Ziting said: "You invited a fireworks woman to give a lecture here, yes or no?"
"So what?"
"Hmph! The old man asked you, how can these fireworks women be virtuous, and how dare you let them be the teachers?
Before Xu Haoran asked Wei Ziting to come forward to introduce Mr. Teaching, Ben also suggested to Ye Tian to see if he could invite Wei Ziting over as a guest gentleman. At that time, Ye Tian considered that Wei Ziting had few setbacks in his life, and it was difficult to understand that ordinary people could not help themselves, and he had been deeply affected by the environment in the past fifty or sixty years, and his thinking was old and stubborn, and many things might not be acceptable, so he vetoed Xu Haoran's suggestion.
Unexpectedly, today he came uninvited to stir up trouble and didn't say anything, and insulted several Qing'er in the Songzhu Pavilion in public.
Ye Tian saw that in the crowd of onlookers, those Qing'er of the Songzhu Pavilion listened to Wei Ziting's words, and their eyes were red with shame and indignation, he didn't laugh angrily, and asked, "In addition to this matter, does Mr. Wei have any other advice?"
"Of course!" Wei Ziting said confidently: "Your Chang'an College also has a science and engineering major, which includes astronomy, arithmetic, etc....... It's ridiculous that they can be called sir?"
"Also, what is the meaning of the economics major? What qualifications do peddlers and pawns have to ascend to the elegant room? What is the point of openly teaching female workers in the academy? Do you have to ask men to learn these boudoir trades too?"
Wei Ziting said a lot in one breath, and Ye Tian always kept a smile.
At the end, Wei Ziting said again: "Master Ye, I know that everything you do is out of kindness, but I also ask you not to insult the sage's legacy." Unrelated people and things, or canceled!"
Ye Tian asked, "Mr. Wei is finished?"
"That's all the old man said, you see how you want to solve it. ”
"Solved? Okay. Ye Tian looked around: "Everyone should go to class, everything is as usual." Everyone else dispersed, and the guards stayed. ”
Wei Ziting was stunned and asked angrily, "Master Ye, didn't you hear the old man's words?"
"I just don't know if Mr. Wei heard me. ”
"What?"
"I have the final say on the affairs of Chang'an College. ”
