The Suzhou magistrate shook his hand, and the shiny piece of wood fell on the table.
"Zhu Che, dean of the Participating Academy, what are you here to discuss? Let me explain to you first."
Zhu Che nodded and immediately said: "The original intention of establishing this court is to enable Suzhou Prefecture to prosper and develop stably. We had many conflicts with the government due to some misunderstandings before, but that is also
It is definitely not my intention to provoke outsiders. From now on, our college will sever its relationship with Nanjing Weihuai and would like to ask the government to send officials to take up posts in the college to supervise everyone's words and deeds and ensure that everything follows the law and does not cause trouble.
"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, and the people outside the hall started talking one after another. A wave of noise almost drowned out all the sounds.
Song Zhang hurriedly stopped the crowd and shouted to them: "Common people, don't make any noise for now. If you think about it carefully, the government office is just the pillars of the shed, and the academy is the roof of the shed. Without the pillars, the shed is just the roof."
I can't get up. Wei Huai in Nanjing doesn't know this truth, so he spends many years in vain and only writes articles. He can't build a shed."
These words are reasonable and reasonable, and the protest just now has disappeared a lot.
The hall gradually became quiet, and the prefect patted Xingmu again and continued to ask: "The so-called 'sending officials to take office', how many people do you need to send? What is the name of the official? How much power does it have?"
Zhu Che was ordered to reply: "It is enough to send only one person to the palace. However, the name of the official cannot be decided by ordinary people. It depends on the official's will. As for the third question, we have already made arrangements: this official
Be on the same level as the dean and may not issue orders without authorization
Those who are members of the academy must discuss it with the dean before it can be implemented; they do not participate in discussions in the academy on weekdays, and can only handle the submitted documents. After consideration, they will be forwarded to the Yamen. These are all measures proposed by Wang Yanke. If they are too harsh, they can still be implemented.
Please give me some advice."
Several officials sitting next to him gradually couldn't hold themselves back and were about to stand up to argue. When Wang Zhengui winked at the prefect, the prefect quickly reacted and interrupted the debate that was supposed to begin: "Mr. Zhu's words are very important to me.
There is nothing wrong with it. This academy is closely related to the scholars and people of Suzhou. It is a move that benefits the people and should be approved by Sir."
Zhu Che and others were overjoyed, so they called the office desk to bring the paper on which the words were recorded, wrote a big word "accurate" with their own hands, stamped it with the official seal, and handed it to Zhu Che.
He couldn't believe that the negotiation was going so smoothly. He touched the soft paper with slightly trembling hands, as if he was in a dream.
"Sir, please note that this official document is still useful and should be kept well to avoid having nothing to compare with when discussing matters in the future."
"Thank you Futai, thank you for your great kindness!" Zhu Che's voice became more choked up. He had never been so close to his ideal.
Back at the academy, everyone was gearing up and couldn't wait to achieve great things.
But the previous counselors were quite displeased and sat in silence for a while before they dared to speak: "Dean, what did you say to the government?"
Zhu Che told the truth: "We have made an appointment. On the 16th, he will send an official to his place. We will entertain him warmly and arrange a place to live. Then he will take office."
Hearing this, the three counselors were too timid to ask any further questions. Only Counselor Han swallowed his saliva, clasped his fists and remonstrated: "The government has strong soldiers. If we continue to follow their orders and do not resist, in case of fraud,
, the academy is not far from destruction!"
Zhu Che suddenly turned red with anger: "The government has a written contract with us, and Zhu is not a person like Xia Yuanlong, how can he regard me as an enemy? You have made mistakes before, and now you have come to destroy what has been done.
What do you want to do with your plan? I think the academy in Nanjing is suitable for you to go to! Just go!"
Wang Zhengui was quietly leaning against the window and listening. When he heard this roar, he was so frightened that he turned around and looked at the doormen on both sides: "Have you heard that?"
"I heard it." Those disciples had always benefited from Zhen Gui and had been monitoring Zhu Che for him, and now they finally seized the opportunity.
Wang Zhengui smiled sinisterly: "Then you know... what you should do, right? I'll take a step first and wait for news from you!" After that, he hurriedly left with small steps.
The four counselors were scolded badly, and they all hung their heads listlessly, listening to Zhu Che's scolding.
The Han ginseng couldn't bear it anymore, so she stood up and said, "Dean! Let's... let's go out right now so as not to make you unhappy."
He waved and left together with the three people.
Zhu Che was still confused. He took several deep breaths and shouted: "Governor Song, let's go too!"
The four people walked for a while and reached the edge of the pond. They looked at the scenery and sighed. Counselor Han accidentally raised his head and saw a few people with malicious intentions coming directly in front of him. He immediately became alert and shouted: "
Who!"
The people in front of them got closer step by step, and they gradually recognized their faces - they turned out to be Wang Zhengui's new confidants.
"Four old gentlemen, our Dean Zhu has ordered that you will be removed from the academy and you will no longer be able to serve here." The vicious eyes of his confidants revealed murderous intent.
Counselor Han's eyes widened angrily: "Dean Zhu just left the main hall and didn't take even two steps. How can I find the time to give you orders?"
The confidants laughed and said: "As expected, you are the counselor of the academy, and your tone is not small! Didn't the dean just now scold you for 'corrupting the established strategy' and tell you to go to Nanjing?"
Counselor Han's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He didn't expect that Wang Zhengui's network of influence was so huge, and all these conversations fell into his ears without exception.
With a bit of panic, he forced himself to say: "But there was no formal order!"
"Master Wang, don't care if you give an order or not, take him away!" The henchman waved his sleeves, and two evil men came out of the diagonal stab, and easily pulled Counselor Han over. The latter still struggled to break free, and kept swearing in his mouth.
, a fist as big as a sandbag hit him, causing one of his front teeth to fall out, and blood seeping out of his mouth.
The three counselors looked pale, so they had no choice but to walk over and be tied up honestly.
Inside the book room.
"Kneel down!" The confidant kicked the Fourth Counselor on the knee, but Counselor Han did not say a word.
Wang Zhengui sat on the imperial chair, crossed his legs, and accepted the kneeling prayers of his four colleagues.
"Find the names of these four people and erase them with one stroke."
The well-known waiter stood by and said "yes", then he took out a blue book and crossed out all four of his names.
Counselor Han pointed at Zhengui and laughed up to the sky: "Now that everyone in the academy is your minions, how long can you be arrogant? If Mr. Zhu understands the truth, it will not be over until you are chopped up alive by then!"
"What a pity, I won't give Zhu Che time to react," Wang Zhengui wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "As soon as the government soldiers arrive, your academy will lose everything."
