"Huai Shang is delivering this memorial to explain the system of the academy and to try to remedy the current problems of the old administration. This matter is of vital importance. Please listen to Huai's words!"
As Wei Huai spoke, he wiped his face that was soaked by water drops. His eyes seemed clearer in the heavy rain.
"The academy system proposed by the official is to set up an academy in Nanjing, which can be called the 'Shangzheng Academy'. From the top to the literati and officials, down to the three religions and nine schools, everyone with profound and broad knowledge can enroll. Although this school has the function of teaching
However, the wish is to enable the academy to intervene in local government. If the government does something improper, the academy can impeach it and fight against the government branch to divide its exclusive power. In this way, the government is not the only one who is arbitrary.
Then we can eliminate the treacherous evil forces who take advantage of the chaos and the threats of the powerful clans, and control the territory. I hope the prince of the county will hear my plan, and please establish the system of academies!"
"Please establish the institution of the academy!" The crowds of people immediately bowed down in overwhelming numbers, with such overwhelming force that the horses were startled and neighed uncontrollably.
"I'd like to trouble King Wanjun to respond!"
Although Wan Heshun hadn't made a sound inside the curtain, he was already restless. He didn't want to have too much entanglement with these people, but now that they had tightly blocked the road, he had to compromise.
He listened to the sudden sound of rain, rubbed the oil umbrella in his hand, and was still thinking in his mind. Such a shrewd person had no idea; what he was afraid of was not that he would agree to the new policy that Wei Huai said, but that Wei Huai would
If you have the intention of "pursuing and fighting fiercely", you will be forced to have no way out, and you can only sigh, "I am destined to die."
"I'll come out and say something."
He nervously opened the car curtain, held up the umbrella, and then faced Wei Huai with a kind smile.
"Wei Jijiu is really working tirelessly for the people..." Wan Heshun jumped out of the car and said worriedly.
"As long as the king of the county can implement this policy and give Nanjing a real bright day, even if it means offering my Wei Huai's head... I'm afraid I won't hesitate!" Wei Huai had a stern look on his face, which seemed to brook no provocation.
Wan Heshun walked slowly to him.
"Just cover up the rain."
He handed the umbrella handle to Wei Huai's hand, with a sad look on his face, and his eyes were filled with complete pity. Wei Huai looked at him and even forgot that this was a person who had murderous intentions towards him.
"Everyone," Wan Heshun stood in the rain, the purple robe he was wearing was soaked through. He took off his robe, raised his arms and shouted: "I, Wan Heshun, am also a person who cares about the world, and I sympathize with you! I
How heartbreaking it is to see you all day long suffering at the hands of corrupt officials and having your land taken over by powerful clansmen!"
The bright green satin clothes on his body were lightened and dimmed by the rain; but he didn't care. He flicked his clothes and looked towards Wei Huai affectionately: "Fortunately, there is this Wei Jijiu, if not for this gentleman,
I, the people of Nanjing, don’t know who to look up to!”
"Ashamed..." Wei Huai whispered with tears in his eyes.
"Since Mr. Wei is so eager to save the country, I will make this clear to you: I can offer you a memorial of wine, and the academy system will be implemented immediately!"
Wei Huai suddenly raised his head. Although the rain had not stopped yet, he could already see a ray of sunshine in the dark clouds that gradually dispersed. "Thank you, Lord Commander!" Wei Huai shouted.
"I'm so touched that you can brave the wind and rain for this matter and come here to petition me! I have such people in Nanjing, why worry about not being able to prosper?" Wan Heshun sighed, and then showed a look of concern for the country.
The people's expressions said, "Your mission has been completed today. Please leave early to avoid the cold and wind!"
"yes……"
Before Wei Huai could say the word 'yes', he was interrupted by Xia Yuanlong's gentle pat. He turned around to look at Xia Yuanlong and saw him winking at him. The meaning was very clear: Don't leave easily.
he!
Wei Huai turned his head slightly and stared blankly at the big raindrops on the ground. He knew very well that if he let Wan Heshun go now, if he regretted it in the future, he would never have such a God-given opportunity again.
But he retreated. He didn't dare to risk everything at this moment. He didn't dare to be like Xia Yuanlong, who risked his life to force Wan Heshun into a dead end for the sake of reform. In order to overcome the hesitation in his heart, he turned around again
He always advised himself to believe that as a prince, he would never break his promise.
So, Wei Huai turned around hesitantly.
Xia Yuanlong stared into his eyes tightly, not daring to relax.
"Let's all go back." He finally said.
Xia Yuanlong lowered his head in disappointment. It felt like he had fallen from a high cliff into a bottomless abyss. He looked blankly at the people who were gradually retreating, and saw Wei Huai picking up the cane and standing up tremblingly.
"Mr. Wei, you have worked hard..." Wan Heshun stroked his back, then turned around and boarded the car with that extremely hypocritical smile.
The groom drove his car and drove past Xia Yuanlong, splashing mud and water all over him. He looked up at the sky and saw that the rain was no longer heavy.
"Renying, why are you still kneeling there? Get up." Yang Huaisheng asked.
"Brother Zhong Fang, why don't you know?" Xia Yuanlong smiled bitterly and looked up to the sky with a sigh.
Wei Huai's expectations were finally disappointed. Shortly after Wan Heshun returned home, he submitted a reply to the academy. Everyone looked at it and said that it was made like this, but it had roots and few branches and leaves. It was not detailed and he had no idea. Please also ask Wei Gong
Determine the strategy in detail and then implement it'.
Yang Huaisheng was so angry that he snatched the batch away, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it twice.
"This Wan Heshun is so cunning! He didn't just reject us outright, but he found this high-sounding excuse to make us suffer! We won't know what strategy will be decided in detail..." Yang Huaisheng sighed.
road.
"Brother Wei, why did you give in then? I don't think you are that kind of coward..." Xia Yuanlong shook his head helplessly and asked softly.
Wei Huai turned around silently, "I...I don't know, I might...but..." He seemed a little incoherent, "But it's too late to say anything now." He finally said sadly.
"It's such a huge project to continue writing..." Xia Yuanlong's heart ached when he thought of this.
"But since he said that, it means there is still a chance of improvement; he asked us to write the strategy, so let's write it now!" Wei Huai used the cane to stamp the ground, making a crisp sound.
"I made a big mistake, and I have to make up for it..." Wei Huai turned his face towards the two of them, "I wonder if you two brothers can help me?"
Xia Yuanlong and Yang Huaisheng immediately lifted their robes and knelt on the ground: "No matter what serious mistakes Ji Min made, we have to work with you to carry on the cause of reform. Is there any reason not to help?!"
Wei Huai hurriedly grabbed Xia and Yang and said, "Then let's write a "New Law and Practice Essentials" and work together on strategies for governing the country!"
