() Seeing the chaos in the classroom, the professor couldn't help but frowned, and his extremely serious face looked even more majestic. The person who is a professor of the Imperial Academy in this university cannot be afraid of the so-called powerful people, otherwise this professor will really

He couldn't take it, and he said with great displeasure: "What's going on with you? Are you gathering a crowd to make trouble? Sit down in your seat."

When Cui Linzhi saw the professor, a proud smile suddenly appeared on his face that was red with anger. He first reported to the professor: "Professor Zhou, it was Wang Wei who just hit someone first. It is really insulting to gentlemen. I ask Professor Zhou to

This barbarian is expelled from the Imperial Academy!"

Cui Linzhi gave Professor Zhou a subtle wink, thinking that so many filial piety every year would not be eaten by dogs. Professor Zhou had a close relationship with the Boling Cui family. Before he became the Guozi Professor, Boling

Among the staff of the Cui family, if it hadn't been for the help of the old man, Zhou Yan would not have been able to become a professor of the Imperial Academy so smoothly. The reason why he, Cui Linzhi, was able to show off his power in Taixue, was not because of the people above him.

And if Zhou Yan wants to take another step forward and become an eighth-grade Doctor of the Imperial Academy, he can't even think about it without the help of the Cui family.

Sure enough, when Zhou Yan heard Cui Linzhi's words, he showed him a friendly smile, and then looked at Wang Wei and his group with a serious expression. When he saw Wei Zhi, his face was a little stiff, because Wei Zhi had also

He once scolded him unscrupulously as a lackey of the Cui family. He had no outstanding knowledge other than following the script.

Seeing that Wei Zhi still had a condescending look of disdain on his face at this time, Zhou Yanteng immediately became angry. He didn't bother to take into account Wang Wei, the "top student", and hated Wang Wei in a loud voice.

Wei reprimanded: "Wang Wei, I see that you advance and retreat in a measured manner and behave gracefully on weekdays. Why are you so rude today? I didn't expect that you are a hypocrite with only talent but no virtue!"

Seeing Zhou Yan favoring Cui Linzhi so unscrupulously, the students around him were angry but dared not say anything. As for Cui Linzhi's informing behavior, many students showed disdain on their faces, thinking that Cui Linzhi was a villain.

When Wang Wei heard Zhou Yan's reprimand, his expression remained indifferent. He said unhurriedly: "Why does Professor Zhou just listen to one side and believe the other? You can ask the classmates around you to see who started the dispute first."

of."

Zhou Yan didn't care about the ins and outs, he just bit Wang Wei's bit and said: "No matter what, you are the only one who takes action, right? You are usually a student who reads the books of sages. How come you don't know whether a gentleman uses his words or not?"

Wang Wei retorted without changing his face: "The Analects of Confucius says that a gentleman is arrogant but not arrogant, and a villain is arrogant but not arrogant. Yes, it was indeed me who did it, but when faced with the insults of others, a true gentleman should be angry.

And if you draw your sword, otherwise you are just a submissive coward. May I ask Professor Zhou, where does this gentleman come from, and what is the basis for his words but not his actions?"

Nowadays, the trend of the Tang Dynasty is martial arts, and most scholars will also practice martial arts. Wang Wei's powerful words undoubtedly made all the students present applaud from the bottom of their hearts. How could Zhou Yan have expected the usually calm and cowardly Wang Wei to do this?

Ri turned out to be so sharp. He was refuted for a while and could not answer. His face turned green and red. Finally, he just held his neck and said stubbornly: "Wang Wei! You, you, get out of here. I won't accept you being so ignorant."

Distinguished students, students with such virtue as you will never pass the imperial examination!"

Although almost all the students around him are on Wang Wei's side, it is undeniable that in Taixue, even the lowest-level teaching assistant has authority that overwhelms all students. Family background is of no great use here unless someone

Teachers have a direct interest in teaching assistants, professors, etc., otherwise they would not be able to influence their authority.

The two students who were worried about Wang Wei couldn't help but talk:

"Although the truth is on Thirteenth Wang's side, the power is on Professor Zhou's side. This situation of Thirteenth Wang is really not good..."

"That's right, Professor Zhou always cares about face and never corrects his mistakes. In the past, when students pointed out his mistakes in class, he would give a rude explanation and then put on the students' shoes. This time, Wang Shisan made him lose such a big deal.

To save face, he will definitely inform Dr. Guozi or Jijiu and ask them to expel Wang Shisan."

"What a pity. Wang Shisan's talent is enough for him to be admitted as a Jinshi after graduating from Taixue. Now if he no longer has the status of 'student', I am afraid it will be a bit uncertain. After all, if he is not a student, he can only pass the township tribute."

You have to pass the provincial examination to take part in the provincial examination... But fortunately, he is a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, so it should be no problem for him to become an official in the future."

"You are wrong. You probably don't know yet. Wang Shisan's father just passed away. He has long since lost the chance to make love. The only way he can go is to take the imperial examination..."

…

In addition to the students who are worried about Wang Wei, there are naturally some people who are jealous of Wang Wei's talent and hate him. These people are basically very familiar with Cui Linzhi. When they whisper, they can't help but ridicule Wang Wei for overestimating his abilities.

Dare to challenge the teacher as a student, or with this Professor Zhou...

Wei Zhi, Cui Hao, and Lu Xiang looked at each other and were about to help Wang Wei when they heard a solemn yet majestic voice: "You are saying that Wang Xiaolang has no moral character and is not qualified to be here."

Taixue is studying, but you still want him to get out?"

Professor Zhou was furious and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Who are you to question my authority as a professor..."

Just when he turned around, he saw the Imperial Concubine's sacrificial wine being carefully served beside the old man who was full of official power. He shrank back halfway through his angry words and said tremblingly: "Hey, Dr. He, what are you doing?"

coming?"

The person who came was none other than He Zhizhang. He was going to invite Wang Wei to the classroom this afternoon, but he suddenly remembered that there was a class at Taixue today, so he came to ask for leave for Wang Wei and planned to focus on Wang Wei's daily studies.

As for why the Guozi Jijiu is carefully accompanied by He Zhizhang, it is because the position of the Guozi Jijiu is equivalent to the principal of later generations, and He Zhizhang, the position of Dr. Taichang, also has the power to supervise the entire Imperial College, similar to a school inspector.

, but it is also in charge of matters such as sacrifices. In the past, Dr. Taichang was also in charge of the church.

It can be said that Dr. Taichang, a genuine seventh-grade official, is a sinecure, but he is an extremely noble and distinguished one among the sinecures. When the prince of the country offered wine in front of Dr. Taichang, even if the quality was not much different,

But in fact, it means superior and subordinate.

At this time, the expression on Han Quan's face was a bit ugly as the prince was offering wine, just because he had just said good things about Wang Wei in front of He Zhizhang. After all, he was quite well-informed and also knew about Wang Wei's rescue of He Zhizhang.

, so Han Quan, who was better at figuring things out, led He Zhizhang to see Wang Wei's situation while praising Wang Wei unreservedly for how talented he was and how gentlemanly he behaved in daily life.

But who would have thought that as soon as he arrived in front of this classroom, he heard Zhou Yan yelling about Wang Wei, get out of here, he has no virtue and will not pass the imperial examination. Isn't this a slap in the face of the prince of the country?

?

Moreover, Han Quan thought that he knew Wang Wei's situation quite well. He had maintained excellent grades and good governance in the two years since he entered school. Otherwise, he would not have been so confident to say good things about Wang Wei in front of He Zhizhang. As a result,

but……

Before He Zhizhang could explain his purpose, Han Quan immediately rushed to fill in the omission: "Professor Zhou, what nonsense were you talking about just now? Wang Xiaolang has outstanding talent, excellent morals and learning, and is a role model for the students in Taixue Middle School. How can he

You said it so badly, I think you are overworked and it’s time for you to take a rest.”

Han Quan had a serious look on his face and reprimanded condescendingly. The so-called official rank is overwhelming, not to mention that the position of Han Quan, the Imperial Prince Jijiu, is two levels higher than that of Zhou Yan, the Imperial Prince Professor. In this Imperial College, there is no such person.

Who has more power than Han Quan? His warning tone made Zhou Yan's bones weak.

Even though Zhou Yan always pretends to be stern, in fact he has no backbone. He takes his position as Guozi professor very seriously, otherwise he wouldn't be so fawning to Cui Linzhi, but he didn't expect that,

Wang Wei actually still has such a backing, doesn't it mean that the Wang family in Hedong has lost power? Why does the Siming Kuai Ke, who is famous in the world of literature, still value Wang Wei so much?

After all, Zhou Yan's information was not as well informed as Han Quan's. At this time, he was covered in cold sweat, but he just echoed tremblingly: "Han Jijiu, you are right. In fact, this student, Thirteenth Lang Wang, is talented and has good conduct, but I am just because

He had a different opinion on a question, so I acted on impulse, I, I..."

He Zhizhang frowned and said calmly: "Just because you have different opinions on an issue, you say such harsh words? You are really a stubborn professor. Confucius said that if there are three people walking together, there must be my teacher. Sometimes the students' opinions are not necessarily the same.

Just worse than the professor, forget it, let’s not worry about it this time, Professor Zhou, I hope you will pay attention next time, teach students to be more patient, and don’t reprimand them so unreasonably.”

Zhou Yanzuo looked like he was listening attentively, bent down slightly, and promised with a frightened expression: "Dr. He is so right. I promise not to let this happen again next time. I just reflected on it and felt that Wang Shi

Saburo is indeed a true gentleman!"

Seeing Professor Zhou being so arrogant and respectful, some students who were gloating about his misfortune snickered in a low voice. They felt that Professor Zhou was so spineless, but they didn't know that in the officialdom, such behavior was actually normal.

As long as you keep your official position, you can continue to dominate, but losing your official position just for the sake of your so-called integrity is really not worth it. At least that's what Zhou Yan thinks.

Cui Linzhi, who had looked arrogant and proud just now, was stunned by the sudden turn of the situation. He had no idea why He Zhizhang and Han Quan would support Wang Wei. This made no sense!
