Xiao Muting was wearing a black dragon brocade robe, standing in the corridor at the entrance of the main hall of Tianlong Academy with his hands behind his back. All the teachers and students of the academy were standing under the steps.
Today is the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, which is also the day when the college starts school. After the dean, Marquis of Yangyang, personally called his name, he came over and reported: "Your Highness, many students and teachers are here."
Xiao Muting nodded to him expressionlessly, and then looked at the people standing in the courtyard.
"You are all intellectuals. Logically speaking, you should not be involved in court affairs, let alone establish factions. But unfortunately, some people came to Tianlong Academy with tasks, and they were not taught careers.
Rather, it is an order. I have always had a merciful heart and do not want to kill innocent people. If you come forward, I will leave you alone and wait for a whole body. I will personally send guards to send you back to your respective places.
In front of my master, you can be considered loyal." He said coldly.
All the teachers and students in the courtyard couldn't help but look at each other. Some people's expressions were full of confusion and incomprehension, others showed panic, and a very few people looked calm, maybe because they were not involved and felt magnanimous.
Still, they are not afraid of being scalded by boiling water and think it is impossible to suspect them.
But none of these people stood up and admitted it. This made Marquis Yanyang's face dull, and his eyes flashed with contempt. He snorted: "It is said that literati have their own pride, but in my eyes,
Come on, they are nothing more than timid and incompetent people who can only do some small tricks behind the scenes and secretly deceive people. They are really shameful and not aboveboard. The recommendation of such a person is not a great talent.
, they are just cowardly people."
"Naturally, they will not take the initiative to admit it. They are shouldering a heavy responsibility. How can they expose themselves like this? Doesn't the Marquis of Yanyang know what lurking is? It is no different from being careful." Xiao Muting said coldly and mockingly.
The Marquis of Yanyang deliberately pretended to be surprised and said "Oh..." before looking at the teachers and students below: "Tianlong College is originally a place to cultivate students with both good character and academic performance in this county. The purpose is to make the best students in this county
Students can go to school and make contributions to Shengqin to the best of their ability in the future. It is unimaginable, but it has become a base for some of you to cultivate your own small forces. It is really ridiculous and insulting to politeness!"
There were already people below with displeased expressions on their faces, and the anger in their eyes became even more intense.
At this time, a gentleman stood up and said loudly: "What your Highness and the Marquis said is absolutely true. Whoever did it, just stand up and admit it. Don't harm all the teachers and students and follow you to embarrass yourself. I, Wang Zhizhong, have always disdained it."
When you are with such people, knowledge is a very pure thing. Whether you are a teacher, a friend, or a student, everyone is equal. What I pay more attention to is moral character and conduct. The three of us must follow the way of our teacher. There is no learning.
There is no limit to learning, but if you are associated with a political party or a faction in the court, it will really be despised and it will damage the essence of this college."
"Mr. Wang is right. The purpose of setting up a college here is to allow students in the county to go to school, so that aspiring students in the county will not lose their education because I am the vassal king of this place.
The power to seek fame, but it seems that some people have taken advantage of my good intentions and resorted to such dirty methods and tricks in a place where learning is like the academy. It is really eye-opening for me." Xiao Mutinghei
He said in a cold voice with a stern face.
The teachers and students in the courtyard looked at each other, trying to figure out something from each other's expressions.
At this time, a group of black armor soldiers rushed in from outside the academy, wearing black masks and holding long swords at their waists.
Their appearance frightened these weak students. Some of the timid ones screamed and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Some students stood there without daring to move, while their whole bodies were shaking.
, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was pale and bloodless.
When the Xuanjia Army rushed in and surrounded a row of thirty white-clothed students standing on the right, everyone else saw clearly that these people were students sent by the Puyang clan.
"If my king has the patience today, I will give you another half an hour to think carefully about how to explain the matter clearly. Otherwise, none of you will be able to return to your original clan alive, let alone
Don't expect to go to the capital and get any position as a first-class Taishi scholar, huh!" Xiao Muting narrowed his eyes darkly and said in a colder voice.
At this time, there was a loud gasping sound in the venue. This was the advantage of having more people. Some people even chuckled and asked the people around them: "Did you hear me right? First-grade Taishi Grandmaster, this
What kind of official position is it and why have I never heard of it?"
"I have never heard of such an official position, and it is still a first-class one. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous..."
"No wonder, it turns out that such a big official... has to have a destiny..."
Immediately, there were discussions in the academy, and the sarcasm became even louder. Everyone finally understood why His Highness King Chen was so angry. Isn't this just poaching, and the target was the Puyang family, which has always been rumored to be particularly mysterious.
, everyone knows that the people in this family are very capable, but judging from the few months they have been together, they are nothing more than that, and they really don’t see any superior skills.
Xiao Muting looked at the teachers present again and raised his lips coldly: "I will give you one more chance. Everyone, listen carefully. I will only give you half an hour. I will be at the Provincial Industry Pavilion in the backyard.
I'm waiting inside. If anyone comes to confess or report, I will receive them. I won't wait if they are late. When the time comes, don't blame me for not respecting teachers, because some people really don't respect being a teacher, let alone teaching.
Karma, let alone the Tao."
He waved his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the backyard. The surrounded Puyang clan were also taken away by the Xuanjia Army. The remaining teachers and students in the courtyard had different expressions and inner activities.
It can be said that thousands of horses are galloping.
The Marquis of Yanyang held his hands in front of him, looked at the people in the courtyard indifferently, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said loudly: "Everyone, His Highness King Chen has shown mercy. I hope you will not miss this opportunity. If it is true,
I learned the truth from other people’s mouths. I thought I would explain the situation again, but there was no chance. I would like to advise those people to surrender themselves. At least they can get a good attitude. His Highness, King Chen, is not a bad person.
A reasonable person would send him back to his master safely."
He turned around and entered the backyard. In the Provincial Pavilion, he drank the tea that Xiao Muting poured for him and sighed: "It's such a quiet and pure place for teaching, but it has been turned into a mess by these people. It's really unbelievable."
Decency."
Xiao Muting calmly raised the corner of his mouth: "Where there are people, there will be disputes. This is inevitable. Moreover, these people must have a mission when they come. They will move the things from the capital here.
It’s not practical because they want to keep it simple.”
"Your Highness is really able to keep his composure." The Marquis of Yanyang said with great admiration.
"What else, have they all been chopped off? Of course not, whoever is at fault will bear the responsibility, and innocent people should not be implicated. This is what my Han'er said. Otherwise, it will damage the reputation of us dignitaries and dignitaries, and it is not cost-effective.
And in this way, it also serves as a warning, the best of both worlds." Xiao Muting raised his cup and drank tea leisurely.
"Will it work? I don't think so, these people will not give up." The Marquis of Yanyang shook his head disapprovingly.
Xiao Muting smiled coldly: "If there are any more offenders, don't blame me for being ruthless. They can really make waves in our territory. The battles I have fought for so many years have not been in vain."
"Be polite first and then attack with force?" Marquis Yanyang immediately understood his intention, and then raised his lips and raised his eyebrows in a smile: "What a good plan."
