Chapter 42
Shao Renfu stood quietly aside, watching Jiang Anyi chatting with the prince, the governor, Chen Hongzheng and others. Compared to the prince and others, Jiang Anyi was obviously immature and uneasy. It was this young awkwardness that made these people value Jiang Anyi.
Don’t bully the young man’s poor, this saying flashed through my mind. When Jiang Anyi took out a wooden sign of Buddhist guardians in the palace, Shao Renfu’s heart became heavier. People in the south didn’t know much about Mingpu Temple, and maybe they had never heard of Master Hongxin’s name, but Shao Renfu lived in the capital for a long time and heard of Master Hongxin’s name for him for a long time. As for Mingpu Temple, it was like a royal Zen temple. Countless officials and nobles were believers in the temple. Even the Empress Dowager would visit the Zen temple several times a year to incense.
Seeing Jiang Anyi walking towards him, Shao Renfu unconsciously smiled on his face, and for the first time he regretted secretly dealing with this talented young man, but unfortunately it was difficult to make up for the gap.
A carriage was rented on the street. When she got on the car, Shao Renfu glanced at the tall and thin Qin Haiming, and was standing in the shadow across the street with his head and mind shrinking. Shao Renfu felt a stir. Could it be that these two people were secretly making trouble?
The carriage was not slow and was running on the avenue. Shao Renfu thought for a long time and said, "Jiang Anyi, I have no consideration for today's affairs, which made you wronged. I am also thinking about the academy, for fear that someone would slander the academy, so I asked the officers and soldiers to take you to Sima's Mansion to clarify the whole story. Since the facts have been clear, I have put aside my mind and hope that you will not blame me for it."
"I dare not." Jiang Anyi replied lightly.
Seeing that Jiang Anyi's reaction was light, Shao Renfu stopped talking, closed his eyes to rest, and the carriage was terrible quiet.
When the carriage arrived at the academy, it was already completely dark. Shao Renfu and Jiang Anyi got out of the car and saw that the lights in front of the academy were brightly lit, and the entire Wuluo Mountain was burning like fire.
Shao Renfu thought to himself what was wrong. He quickly walked to the gate of the yard and saw countless students gathering in the empty field in front of the gate of the academy. Torches were inserted into trees, oil lamps and candles were placed in front of him. Everyone was waiting for Jiang Anyi's return.
"It was Mr. Shao who brought Jiang Anyi back." Cheers sounded from the crowd, and the cheers became louder and louder, which made the birds fly high, and the moon hid in the clouds.
In the government office, Jiang Anyi had heard the prince talk about the classmates from the academy gathering to petition in front of the Sima Mansion. He could get out so quickly because the classmates from the academy "robbed" him. Jiang Anyi's eyes were wet, and he stood in front of the fire, bowed deeply, and did not lift him up for a long time.
"Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi." The shouts gathered into neat calls. The crowd drowned Jiang Anyi. Everyone surrounded Jiang Anyi and cheered loudly, celebrating Jiang Anyi's return and celebrating his own victory.
Shao Renfu stood in front of the increasingly dark gate of the courtyard, watching the fire gradually fading away, his eyes were faint, and the troublesome autumn was coming.
As Shao Renfu expected, Jiang Anyi's incident seemed to remind some people. For a time, various organizations that had helped each other appear one after another. The conflict between the two people often evolved into the contradiction between the two organizations, and this kind of struggle tended to become increasingly fierce in the academy.
Jiang Anyi was shown as the representative of poor students, and everyone felt that the Sima Yamen had helped Jiang Anyi, so they often came to ask Jiang Anyi to come forward when they had something to do. Jiang Anyi was afraid of being in love and came forward to speak up for the poor students several times.
However, Jiang Anyi found that things were slipping uncontrollable, and he seemed to have returned to the situation where countless people came to search for them and had no time to study. Last time, Lin Yizhen helped him and sent someone to hide in the villa, but this time, Lin Yizhen seemed to be a little alienated from him. Jiang Anyi knew that it was because of the so-called opposition between the poor and the powerful. Due to the emergence of Jiang Anyi, the struggle between the poor and the powerful became fierce.
Senior Liu was very happy, the members of the Book Club were very happy, and the poor families were also happy, but Jiang Anyi felt very confused. There were lazy people in the poor families and good people among the powerful people. Why can't we get along in harmony with each other in the same academy?
The gentlemen in Juxian Hall were also worried, and Ling Xu said with a frown: "The evil wind is prevalent in the academy. Shao Xuelu, you have to think of a solution."
"What can I do? I'll stop asking me to fire Jiang Anyi." Zhao Xingfeng snatched the conversation.
Shao Renfu agreed with Zhao Xingfeng's words, but said, "We can't blame Jiang Anyi for the situation in the academy at the moment. I mean, wait for the mountain leader to come back and then discuss it. Calculate the day, the mountain leader should come back in two days."
Shi Ningzhong sighed: "This Jiang Anyi is really a trouble. He should have listened to Shao Xuelu's words at the beginning, and he did not accept him into the academy since he was beaten to the academy. How much more things have happened to the academy. Alas."
Seeing Ling Xu raise his eyebrows, Shi Ningzhong quickly raised his hand and signaled, "Mr. Ling, I won't argue with you, it's just my personal opinion."
Duan Shanfeng, who was sitting in front of him, stood up with a happy expression and smiled: "Chief Deng Shan, when will you come back?"
Everyone shook their faces and saw that it was Deng Haonan who was covered in dust.
Deng Haonan first went to the table to fill herbal tea, then sat down and said, "I heard the students in the academy cause trouble in Texas, so I hurried back early. What's going on?"
Everyone introduced the situation in a verbal way. Deng Haonan thought for a while and asked Shao Renfu: "Mr. Shao, you are a student. How should you deal with this matter?"
Shao Renfu cursed in his heart, Deng Haonan was indeed uneasy and pushed the tricky things to himself. Shao Renfu smiled and said, "Everyone was talking about this just now. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Shi meant to open Jiang Anyi out of the academy. Mr. Ling tended to deal with a few people who took the lead in causing trouble. No matter how I deal with it, the unhealthy trend of the academy cannot be encouraged at the moment, otherwise Zechang Academy would be destroyed in our hands. I wonder what the mountain leader meant?"
Deng Haonan sighed and said, "The ice is not cold for a day. For a long time, the academy has taken too much care for the children of powerful people. The aggrieved people were arrested and exposed by Jiang Anyi. The root cause is that the academy cannot treat students equally."
Ling Xu folded his thigh and praised: "The mountain leader is right."
Others don’t say anything, and anyone with a discerning eye knows the problem. The key is that no one can change this situation. Compared with the "highest grades and no poor families, low grades and no nobles" in the Great Wei Dynasty, it is much better now. At least the poor children can change their destiny through the imperial examination.
Deng Haonan asked again: "Do you know who is the leader of both sides?"
Shao Renfu said: "The poor party is nominally led by Jiang Anyi, but in fact, Liu Yushan is in the organization, and the other side is unknown, but Qin Haiming jumps up and down very actively."
Deng Haonan got up and paced back and forth in the hall for a few times, stopped his legs and said, "This matter cannot be delayed anymore, otherwise it will be out of control. The situation is like a mess now, and it needs to be cut by a quick knife."
The tone was decisive and everyone was stunned.
Deng Haonan announced without doubt: "This incident arose because of Jiang Anyi. Even if it is not Jiang Anyi's original intention, Jiang Anyi should not stay in the academy anymore and advise him to drop out of school."
Ling Xu jumped up and said anxiously: "Captain of the Mountain, how could you be so indiscriminate? How unfair to Jiang Anyi, the academy also lost a charming talent in vain."
Zhao Xingfeng showed joy on his face, and Shi Ningzhong sighed: "There is no need for the person who tied the bell to untie it. Shi admired him."
Shao Renfu did not expect that Deng Haonan would actually give this fierce medicine. You should know that Jiang Anyi came to the academy to study and was invited by Deng Haonan. Now he decided to persuade him to leave. It would have a great impact on Deng Haonan's reputation if he spread it. Not to mention that Jiang Anyi was a talent appreciated by the King of Anyang. He was friends with the prince and was friends with Chen Hongzheng. What was Deng Haonan's idea?
Deng Shanzhuan did not explain and continued: "Liu Yushan and others will participate in the provincial examination this year. According to previous years, they will not leave the academy until June. Now the academy is in trouble, so Liu Yushan and others will leave the academy in the next few days."
Everyone was shocked again. Deng Shan’s long sword was fast enough.
"Qin Haiming has ulterior motives and cannot let go of it lightly. He will open it out of the academy and will not step into the academy again."
Shao Renfu secretly admired that the three types of people were handled with different severity and were reasonable and well-founded, so that people could not find fault. According to Deng Haonan's method, the conflicts in the academy could indeed be dispersed invisibly.
"Shao Xuelu, please inform the students. In addition, you must solemnly tell everyone that in the future, the dispute will be handled according to the rules of the college. If the rules of the college are not specified, the Xuelu will make a decision. If you are not convinced of the decision, you can submit it to Juxiantang for discussion and decision. If you have a private gang and a large number of people are threatened, you will start a revolution."
Feng Shanchang's decision soon spread in the academy. Jiang Anyi learned that he was persuaded to leave by the academy, and was stunned. Sitting at the table, he felt that someone was constantly visiting him, saying some comforting words, and finally sighed and left.
As if he had lost his soul, Jiang Anyi felt a "boom" sound in his head, a bit like a coma when he was struck by lightning. Countless pictures in his mind flashed like a lantern, and he felt depressed and wanted to vomit.
Li Shicheng looked at Jiang Anyi worriedly, poured him a glass of water, and left quietly, leaving Jiang Anyi alone with peace and quiet.
Quiet, it's really quiet. The trees blow the leaves and make a "rustling" sound. The roses at the corner of the courtyard are blooming brightly, and the bees are heard.
Jiang Anyi couldn't understand why the mountain chief expelled him from the academy. Wasn't he who invited him to study at the first place? In the academy, although he did not have close contact with the mountain chief, Jiang Anyi could feel the mountain chief's concern for him. Through Liu Yushan, he pulled himself into the Book Fragrance Club. The praise he praised him during the monthly exam incident all meant that the mountain chief admired him. Why did the mountain chief do this this time?
The footsteps stopped from far away and stopped in front of the door. Who is this? Senior Liu is here, Lin Yizhen is here, friends from the Book Club are here, and friends they know are here, but what's the use? It can't change my fate of leaving the academy.
Jiang Anyi lowered his head, not wanting to know who the person was.
"Jiang Anyi."
