Academies are originally a place where scholars are well-educated and taught their knowledge. In recent decades, academies have changed.

Officials who have lost their power and dismissed from office especially like to go to the academy to give lectures. It is called lectures, but it is actually a big complaint, attacking and slandering political enemies, and criticizing the government. To put it bluntly, it is a swearing.

In the late Jiajing Dynasty, the people in the academy loved to scold Yan Song the most; in the early Longqing Dynasty, the people in the academy loved to scold the chief assistant Xu Jie the most; in the Wanli Dynasty, the one who was scolded the most naturally became Zhang Juzheng.

Anyway, whoever is in power will scold anyone in the academy.

Whether it was Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, they all turned a blind eye to the existence of the academy. Because they understood this truth: they were not afraid of scoundrels, but they were afraid of scoundrels who read poetry and books! Those complaining scholars control the public opinion among the people. After a hundred years, whether they will be infamous for thousands of years or will be remembered forever depends on how the scholars use their pens.

He Liu said sternly: "He Xinzhou, please explain it clearly! There are many academies in the world. Which academies do you plan to use to spread this demon book?"

He Xinzhou replied: "We plan to distribute 30,000 books to 72 academies in Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Fujian, Yunnan and Guizhou. The scholars of the academy will spread these books all over the world."

He Liu exclaimed: "Seventy-two academies? Have all these academies followed He Xinyin and your orders?"

He Xinzhou admitted, "Sir. My cousin He Xinyin spent more than ten years creating an alliance of academies in various places. It is called 'Zhiliang Alliance'. All of these 72 academies belong to Zhiliang Alliance. The only one in charge of the academies in each academies is my cousin's life."

He Liu asked: "Do you publish and distribute this monster book to ruin Zhang Shoufu's reputation among the people?"

He Xinzhou nodded: "My cousin said that the first thing he had to do to defeat a prime minister in the dynasty is to make his reputation among the people."

He Shizhong interrupted: "You are so deliberate and harmful to Mr. Zhang. Is it just because the new policy he implemented that has damaged the interests of scholars?"

He Xinzhou said: "Yes, not."

He Liu smiled and said, "Shizhong. Dad answered the question you asked for He Xinzhou. There is a kind of person in the world. As long as he is not in power, he will be afraid that the world will not be in chaos! He Xinyin is such a person! With Mr. Zhang in our Ming Dynasty, it will not be in chaos. Only by eliminating Mr. Zhang and letting the world be in chaos, can people like He Xinyin take advantage of the chaos. I am right, He Xinzhou?"

He Xinzhou remained silent.

Li Zipian asked, "He Xinzhou, I'm very curious. Who are the professors and students in the academy under Zhiliangmeng?"

He Xinzhou replied: "The heads of the seventy-two academies and professors are all appointed by the resigned officials who have been dismissed for opposing the new policy in recent years; as for the students, most of them are officials and nobles and even sons of royal relatives."

As soon as He Xinzhou said this, He Liu frowned.

It seems that the seventy-two academies are like a rope, tied together all the officials, nobles, royal relatives, and scholars who oppose the new policy!

He Xinyin created this good alliance with ulterior motives! He wanted to unite all those who opposed the new policy through the academy and attack Zhang Juzheng!

He Liudao: "He Xinzhou, you are quite honest in the face of the Great Exercise of the Beizhen Fushi. Don't worry, I will not let you suffer any more. Come on, take him to the imperial prison and take him under strict supervision."

Two strong men took He Xinzhou down.

He Liudao: "This case has a great relationship. I want to go to the cabinet to report to Shoufu Zhang immediately."

Half an hour later, Xiyuan and the cabinet were paid.

Zhang Juzheng read a few pages of "The Biography of Zhang Taiyue, the Powerful Traitor".

Zhang Juzheng is a smart man among the smart people. A monster book that insults him; an alliance of seventy-two academies; an ulterior motive of learning scholars; a group of retired officials who lost their power; a group of children of royal relatives and nobles...

Linking this series of things, Zhang Juzheng vaguely felt that an undercurrent was surging among the people. This undercurrent was obviously aimed at Zhang Juzheng and the new policy.

Zhang Juzheng sighed meaningfully: "Oh, there are brothers everywhere, why are there storms?"

He Liudao: "Mr. Zhang, I want to go to Jiangnan in person to arrest He Xinyin and seal these 72 academies."

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand: "Forget it, Lao Liu. Let's send someone else! Seizing seventy-two academies and arresting great scholars of the world. This job is too dirty! Once you do this job, scholars all over the world will use their pen to nail you to the pillar of shame in history forever! You have done too much effort for me, the new policy, and too many things. I don't want you to be scolded by thousands of scholars as cruel officials and evil slaves after you die!"

He Liu smiled bitterly and asked Zhang Juzheng: "Ha, this job is too dirty? Does Mr. Zhang think I am clean now? I have worked in the Jinyiwei for 37 years. I have caught, tidied, and killed too many people. Through this beautiful flying fish suit, I can smell the strong smell of blood on my body. I am not afraid to do this dirty job again! I like to do things with a beginning and an end. Back then, I promised Mr. Xu Jie to do my best to assist you, implement the new policy, and benefit the people. I have never forgotten this promise."

Zhang Juzheng stood up and bowed respectfully to He Liu: "Old Liu, thank you!"

He Liudao: "It should be my behalf for the poor people in the world, Mr. Zhang, you! In order for them to live a good life, you offended all the royal families and gentry in the world. Those people, you dare not attack you when you are alive. After you a hundred years, they may ask your descendants to vent their anger!"

Zhang Juzheng said firmly: "Don't worry about the price when saving the people from water and fire! No matter how big the price I am, Zhang Juzheng, can bear it calmly! Oh, it's just opening a coffin and whipping the corpse and exiling his descendants! If I am afraid of these, just be a mediocre official who does not do anything with money. Why do you have to implement the new policy?"

He Liudao: "Mr. Zhang, tell me, what should I do now?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Zhiliang Alliance was created by He Xinyin. He beat the snake and beat seven inches! First, you must arrest He Xinyin. Then, seize the seventy-two academies to which Zhiliang Alliance belongs. All the academies of the chief academies are arrested! As for the students in the academies, they are all nobles and the children of the officials' families, and they are all arrested. Sever them all and send them home."

He Liudao: "There is always a crime to arrest people. I think it's a crime to be insulted by He Xinyin, to form an official association, and to commit evil intentions?"

Zhang Juzheng nodded: "Well. Very good, just use this crime."

He Liudao: "Mr. Zhang, I will go back first and then interrogate He Xinzhou again to ask about He Xinyin's whereabouts. After clarifying the whereabouts of the culprit, I will leave Beijing to handle this job."
