When Yang Shen looked at Chen Qi who was lying on the ground, with blood flowing from his neck and twitching, he couldn't believe it for some reason. Is this the majestic Censor of Zuodu in the Ming Dynasty who was famous for his integrity?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that Chen Qi, the dignified censor of Zuodu in the past, the judge of Songyang Academy today, and the teacher of many scholars, would actually plot against his disciples like this.
.
It was obvious that Chen Qi knew that once these students attacked the governor of the East Factory, bloodshed would inevitably occur, but Chen Qi had no intention of stopping it. It was obvious that his purpose was to force Chu Yi to kill someone.
Only by killing someone, and being a scholar, can he make the matter bigger. When the time comes, scholars all over the world will be excited about it. Even if Chu Yi has extraordinary means, no matter how much the emperor favors him, I am afraid that at that time, the emperor will also
Chu Yi gave up.
The human heart is more dangerous than the mountains and rivers. In the past, Yang Shen only listened to his father and uncle telling him about the dangers of the officialdom. Since he had never entered the officialdom, he had not experienced it personally.
This time, Yang Shen really gained experience. As expected, a person cannot be judged by his appearance. As a teacher, Chen Qi actually used the life of his disciple as a chess piece.
"Poor, pathetic, pathetic!"
Looking at Chen Qi and the dozen or so lifeless academicians lying on the ground, Yang Shen sighed softly in his heart.
Although he didn't like Chu Yi's killing, Yang Shen also knew that from Chu Yi's point of view, he was showing mercy by not killing the academy.
The Governor of Dongchang, what kind of person is he? Are there not many people who have fallen directly or indirectly at the hands of Dongchang?
Cao Shaoqin seemed to be stimulated by the blood, a look of madness flashed in his eyes, and he said to Chu Yi in a sharp voice: "Supervisor, do you want to kill all those who dare to offend the Supervisor!"
After hearing Cao Shaoqin's words, those frightened scholars were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Some even wailed and begged for mercy, some cried bitterly, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Yi.
Suddenly, I, the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, who had been so upright and righteous before and did not take Chu Yi and others seriously at all, took various postures and showed their ugly appearance.
Among these scholars, even if there are some who have a little bit of backbone, Yang Shen will try his best to protect the other party at the risk of his life. However, not one of them dares to stand there.
Yang Shen let out a long sigh and glanced at these classmates who used to talk loudly and give pointers in front of him, and his eyes gradually became calm.
Chu Yi suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and looked at the scholars with a look of disdain in his eyes: "I said that I came here just to find a few books to read. You have to make things like this."
Big, why bother!"
There is so much regret in the hearts of these students. Who knew you were so unscrupulous? You kill people when you tell them to. We are the treasures of the Ming Dynasty. All of us are educated. In the future, we will occupy high positions and guard the world on behalf of the emperor.
of.
"This place with green mountains and green waters and beautiful scenery, well, I guess it is a geomantic treasure. If you can be buried here, you may have a good pregnancy in your next life! Do any of you object to this governor entering the academy?"
The bodies of the court judge Chen Qi and more than a dozen scholars have not yet cooled down. Looking at Chu Yi's smiling face, who dares to object? Didn't you hear what the other party said? The scenery here is beautiful and it is the most suitable place for burying people!
Seeing that each of these people were like quails, not even daring to take a breath, Chu Yi strode into the academy and said at the same time: "Chu Fang, Cao Shaoqin, you clean up this place. If the sacred place of the academy is stained with blood, wouldn't it be blasphemy?"
Are you a saint?"
Chu Yi entered the academy. At this moment, Chu Fang and Cao Shaoqin looked at each other, and shouted arrogantly to all the scholars and scholars present: "My governor is compassionate and does not share the same knowledge with you. I will let you go today."
, get out of here if you don’t want to!”
As if they had received an amnesty, everyone returned to the academy one by one. As for leaving, none of them dared to leave until the ferocious men like Chu Yi left.
Because they are afraid, if the other party suspects that they want to escape and publicize the murder in the academy, they will die miserably!
The few scholars who first caused the trouble didn't even dare to scream now, even though they were blind, but there were classmates around them who told them what happened.
Now think about it, although they are blind, they seem to be much luckier than Chen Qi and those classmates who lost their lives.
Just as they were about to leave, Cao Shaoqin's voice came: "Those blind people stay, and everyone else can get out."
Plop, plop!
When the students who had been blinded heard this, they were so frightened that their bodies softened and fell to the ground one by one. They were trembling but did not dare to cry loudly.
Chu Yi paused slightly, and when Yang Shen walked past him, Chu Yi could only hear Chu Yi say: "Yang Yongxiu, why not take this governor to the academy library!"
Yang Shen took a deep breath. Even though he was not afraid of Chu Yi's vicious reputation, seeing Chu Yi kill more than a dozen people in a row with his own eyes still cast a shadow over his heart. He nodded slowly and said, "Come with me, Lord Governor."
Chu Yi and Yang Shen walked side by side, with a relaxed posture, and the evil aura dissipated from his body. Yang Shen suddenly felt that Chu Yi, who was walking with him, had suddenly become a scholar like him.
After a short while, the academy library appeared in sight. Yang Shen led Chu Yi into it and introduced: "This is the academy library. It has three floors. It contains rare books, thousands of unique volumes, collected by the academy over the generations.
It has been passed down to this day and contains no less than one hundred thousand volumes."
Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Songyang Academy is indeed one of the four major academies in the world. Even though it was only converted into an academy in the Song Dynasty, it has been hundreds of years.
Over the past hundreds of years, many famous teachers and scholars have given lectures again, laying a profound foundation for the academy, so it is reasonable to have such a large collection of books.
He reached out and took a volume in his hand, flipped through it, and found a volume of moderate annotations. Looking at it, almost half of the books here were about Confucian classics, and there were only a handful of other types.
Of course, these few are also for Confucian classics. Many rare books circulated among the people can be found here. In this era when knowledge represents status, power and even money, there are so many classics. The prosperity of Songyang Academy can be seen.
Just imagine.
Even if Chu Yi did not conduct statistical surveys, he could imagine that there are definitely not a few people in this court who have such a relationship with Songyang Academy. Otherwise, a single Zuodu censor who has become an official cannot support it.
Songyang Academy is such a big situation.
After flipping through the pages, Chu Yi said to Yang Shen: "Songyang Academy was once the place where Luo Xue and Cheng Hao taught for more than ten years. There must be scriptures passed down by Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao in the academy!"
Yang Shen was slightly startled and said: "I have only come to the academy to study for less than half a year, but I don't know whether there are any handwritings left by the two sages here."
There was a hint of longing in Yang Shen's eyes. Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao were famous Confucians in the world, and they were the founders of Confucianism. They had great influence among literati, even hundreds of years later.
, still has a good influence, which can be seen just by looking at Yang Shen's reaction.
Chu Yi raised his brows and said loudly: "Bring me the oldest Xuezheng in the academy!"
As soon as the words fell, a cheering voice came from outside the library.
Not long after, I saw an old man with a handsome appearance, a gray beard, about sixty years old, and a look of fear on his face, who was brought here by a policeman.
"Superintendent, this person is Gongsun Xuezheng, the oldest person in the academy. According to others, this person has been in the academy for nearly fifty years. There is no one who is more familiar with Songyang Academy than him!
