"Oh my, what are you doing with Song Jijiu?" Zhu Zhen asked, and said with a fussed look on his face: "Get up, get up, get up, I'm so worried."
But he didn't bend his waist or stretch his hands, he just looked at Song Ne's buttocks with a smile.
Song Ne leaned on the ground, feeling extremely ashamed, but did not move at all.
Because he really has no choice...
~~
Earlier, he personally came to the student dormitory and prepared to talk to them in person.
However, when he knocked on the door and angrily scolded these ignorant idiots, he was treated indifferently by them.
There was anger hidden on every young face. No matter how he scolded and told them to go to class quickly, they remained indifferent.
The kind of indifference that refuses to communicate and treats him as nothing...
What's even more outrageous is that when he left angrily, there was even a faint curse coming from behind:
"Bah, old thief!"
"Bitch traitor!"
"murderer!"
Although the scolding was not loud and sparse, it was a fatal blow to him...
Song Ne didn't look back to see who was scolding him, he just walked forward silently, his back that had always been strong gradually became rickety.
Standing in the deserted square, even though it was early summer, Song Ne felt the coldness of winter coming.
At that moment, Song Jijiu felt that his heart was broken.
Self-esteem, confidence, and career were all shattered...
Worthless.
At that moment, I was so desperate that I even wanted to take off my belt and hang myself from the big locust tree where Guozi studied.
~~
But soon, he realized that now was not the time to commit suicide, he had more important things to do...
So he threw away all his pride, knelt down humbly in front of Lao Liu, kowtowed and said, "Please come forward and let all the students go back to class?"
"Why should I help an old bastard who refuses to admit his mistake despite clearly doing something wrong?" Zhu Zhen was indifferent.
Song Ne raised his head and glanced at Lao Liu, his lips moved for a long time, and Fang struggled to squeeze out those three words from his throat——
"I was wrong……"
"I didn't hear what you said clearly." Lao Liu was very happy when he heard this, so he decided to feel happy again.
"I was wrong! I was wrong, so wrong!" Everything was stiff and stiff the first time, but became much smoother the second time. The amazing thing was that after Song Ne finished speaking, he felt much more relaxed.
.
"Then where did you go wrong?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.
"The old man's mistake was that he was stubborn and didn't know how to adapt. He thought that as long as the emperor supported me, he didn't need to worry too much. He thought that as long as I strictly enforced the school rules, was impartial and treated everyone equally, most of the students would still support me - but I didn't expect that going too far was not enough. They
The resentment towards me is already so heavy. With just a little provocation, we did stupid things together..."
"It's not easy. The reflection is quite sincere." Lao Liu smiled and nodded: "But it's not thorough enough - remember, your duty is to teach and educate people. When it comes to educating people, you must first treat your students as human beings.
——They will all serve as shepherds for the imperial court in the future. How bad is the first lesson you taught them about officialdom?
"In the future, like you, they will govern the prefectures and counties with harsh politics and restrain the people with torture. Even if they can satisfy the court for a while, they will definitely arouse resentment among the people. As long as they are abused for a long time, the people will turn against you at random!"
"Yes..." In the past, Song Ne would definitely have argued, but at this moment, he was speechless and could only bow his head and accept the lesson.
"Furthermore, old...the emperor and the imperial court take such good care of the Imperial College students in order to make them feel grateful, proud of their status as the emperor's disciples, and devote their lives to loyalty." Zhu Zhen sighed and said:
"It's a good idea to let you do this. The career of Guozi has become a lingering nightmare in their lives. Thinking about it in the future will wake them up in the middle of the night. Will they still feel the slightest gratitude to the imperial court and the emperor?"
"Yes, your Majesty is right." Song Ne bowed his head and said, "I have indeed failed to live up to your Majesty's high hopes. I am willing to die to thank Your Majesty."
"Afterwards..." Zhu Zhen chuckled and said, "Does that mean you can't die now?"
"Yes." Song Ne nodded and said, "If the guilty minister commits suicide at this time, the members of the family will be punished even more severely, and it is inevitable that the emperor will go on a killing spree."
"You are so weird," Zhu Zhen said with a more mocking look on his face: "Are you thinking about those students?"
"After all..." Song Ne sighed and said, "They are my students."
"Okay, now I still have students in my heart, so there is still hope." Zhu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
"Please reveal your identity, calm the situation, and advise the students to go back to school as soon as possible." Song Ne said sincerely: "As long as they rein in the situation before it is too late, there will be room for change. Your Majesty will treat them
The punishment will be much lighter.”
"The same goes for you." Lao Liu smiled lightly.
"The old man said that I will die to apologize afterwards." Song Ne replied calmly, with an expression on his face that said nothing could be more sad than a heartbroken one.
"Okay, but after the situation calms down, you must unconditionally agree to one condition." Zhu Zhen nodded.
"As long as I can do it." Song Ne also nodded.
"Of course it's within your ability." Zhu Zhen smiled.
"That's no problem." Song Ne agreed.
"Let's go in and have breakfast first." Zhu Zhen then reached out with a smile and pulled Song Ne up from the ground.
~~
After breakfast, Zhu Zhen asked Song Ne to wait for news while he returned to Shengzhen Hall.
Ma Junze and others had already become ants in a hot pot of anxiety. As soon as they saw him coming back, they immediately surrounded him.
"Your Highness, Xie Ke is finally back!"
"Something big happened!"
"Haha Shiqi, I'm not blind." Zhu Zhen smiled and greeted them into the hall and said:
"Song Jijiu has admitted his mistake to me, and now I am taking over the Guozixue."
"Ah ha, as long as His Highness reveals his identity, who will dare to make a mistake?" Ma Junze said with a sigh of relief.
"No, if I reveal my identity this time, it will only be counterproductive." Zhu Zhen shook his head decisively.
"Yes. Your Highness represents the imperial court. How can the imperial court be coerced by others? Those who refuse to give up will definitely be severely punished." Yang Shiqi immediately understood what his highness meant.
"If Your Highness gives in, it will set a bad precedent. In the future, if you are dissatisfied and make a fuss, why don't you just slap your nose in the face?"
"Haha Shiqi is right." Zhu Zhen smiled and nodded: "The court's laws cannot be challenged, but the laws are nothing more than human feelings. We must grasp this degree well."
"The king will immediately send people to arrest all the officials." He said in a deep voice:
"As for the students, I'll leave it to you."
"What are we going to do?" Several people were all excited, knowing that the time has come for His Highness to test himself.
"Split up and convince them to go back to class as soon as possible." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "Before I force the lecturers to admit the crime of inciting students to strike, they return to the teaching building, and I can pretend that nothing happened."
"Once all the officials confess, things will not get better." Zhu Zhen sighed and said, "We must try to avoid this situation of losing both sides."
"Understood!" Yang Shiqi and others loudly accepted the order.
