Chapter 46 Gu Jieyuan's Morality is Lacking
I didn't expect Uncle Liu to leave Lishan Academy and start to let himself go. I didn't expect this kind of Uncle Liu. When Song Yanjin was in Lishan Academy, he was only concerned with dealing with jackals, and he and Uncle Liu were at most nodding acquaintances.
In fact, Master Ge was right. The person in charge should deal with the trouble outside the door. But Uncle Liu was determined to save face and had to confront Master Ge. He only felt comfortable when he saw him get red in the face with anger.
The two of them would definitely start fighting soon, so in order to avoid hurting innocent people, Song Yanjin quietly pulled Bai Zhu out with the book in his arms.
The chief academic officer and several old scholars in the attic of the Imperial College looked down at the students from the Qingyun Academy who were shouting and making noises at the door.
Shi Jiancheng drooped his face and said, "It's really immoral that such a domineering and arrogant person can pass the exam..."
Yang Jijiu, a man with a square face and wearing a dark, loose official uniform, sneered, "You have the ability, but I haven't seen you teach it."
"Pfft~"
The old scholars behind him couldn't help laughing.
They had not expected the rise of Qingyun Academy. In just a month, they had turned a loser into a talent. No one from the Imperial College was at the top of the list!
However, everything makes sense since Mr. Su teaches at Qingyun Academy. Yang Jijiu glanced at the Qingyun Academy across the street with a distant gaze. He decided to visit Mr. Su one day to learn from his rich teaching experience.
Being laughed at by his colleagues, Shi Jiancheng felt a little guilty, "I will go and chase them away. It is disgraceful for the Royal Academy to have such a commotion."
After saying this, he turned and left, and his student Qiao Jiuyang followed him.
"Mr. Shi is just an old-fashioned person. He lets the kids make noises and play when they are old enough. They will stop when they have made enough noises. Why would he care about other students in the academy?"
The person who spoke was Zhuang Lao, the Prince's Junior Tutor. Today, at the invitation of his good friend Yang Jijiu, he went out of the palace to watch the announcement of the autumn examination results. It was thought that he wanted to show off the talented students from the Imperial College, but unexpectedly, he was swept by the Qingyun Academy which suddenly appeared.
Master Lin beside him sighed, "One wave pushes another, and the previous wave dies on the beach."
He has a good relationship with Mr. Su in private and they occasionally get together on weekdays. He knows a lot about Qingyun Academy. His colleagues only attribute the credit to Mr. Su, but he doesn't think so. The young Principal Song is a very capable guy.
"Pah, pah, pah! Elder Lin, you are such an indecent person, you actually said such discouraging words." Master Zhou was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "It's too early to say that. The Spring Examination is still to come, and the outcome is not yet determined."
The announcement of the results of the small autumn examination completely aroused the desire to win among the teachers in the Imperial College, and the competition between the two academies began invisibly.
Shi Jiancheng came to the door and yelled, "What are you doing here, you bastards? What kind of bullshit bet is causing such an embarrassment here?"
"Everyone get out of here!"
What Xia Yunheng couldn't stand the most in the Imperial College was the Chief Supervisor in front of him, who had been biased towards Lu Jie without knowing right from wrong, causing him to suffer many punishments.
Now that he is no longer a student of the Imperial College, he does not need to respect his teachers. He put his hands on his hips and fired at full force, "How dare the running dog of the Lu family act so arrogantly in front of this prince? The bet was made by Lu Jie. Dare to do but not to take responsibility is the style of your Imperial College. It is really shameful to the world."
"Hand Lu Jie over to me now, or I'll make this known to everyone in the capital, and let everyone see what kind of crap the Imperial College has produced!"
"Hand over Lu Jie."
"Hand over Lu Jie."
Behind the prince, the students of Qingyun Academy raised their hands in protest.
The scene was awkward for a while. Shi Jiancheng was scolded as a running dog of the Lu family in front of all the students. His old face was as black as the bottom of a pot. It seemed that Lu Jie lost the bet. He turned his back and ordered the servant to call Lu Jie out to explain clearly.
Seeing the servant leave, the people behind Xia Yunheng gave up and let go, waiting for someone to give an explanation.
Gu Jiajing openly whispered to his brother Xia Yunheng, "Did you see Old Shi's face? This is the first time I see him get humiliated. Hahahaha."
Xia Yunheng giggled foolishly. In one word, cool! Shi Jiancheng saw the two people's little tricks and didn't take them seriously. He was an ignorant child.
Lu Jie hid in the library, pretending not to hear the servant's call outside, and pretended to be looking for a book on the bookshelf.
A student came out from the door holding a book, and the servant asked casually, "Have you seen Lu Jie?"
The people around Shi Jiancheng and the students of the Imperial College knew it very well. They tilted their heads inside and said, "He is hiding in there like a turtle."
Everyone knew that there was such a big commotion at the door. Even if Lu Jie had many top queens and aunts, he couldn't save the reputation of the Imperial College.
The servant expressed his gratitude and went inside. He found the person on the second floor. He didn't care whether he was a young master from a noble family or not. He just carried the person on his back and rushed to the door.
"Hey~ Why are you touching me? I'm the nephew of the current queen, let me go."
Lu Jie tried to break free using his hands and feet. What a courageous guy!
The servant has been working all year round and has plenty of strength, so he is more than capable of dealing with a rich young man.
Seeing Lu Jie being carried out from the gate of the Imperial College, Xia Yunheng and Gu Jiajing laughed without caring about their image.
"Hahaha, Lu Jie, you have come to this day too. You can dig a hole and bury yourself in it."
"I think it's better for him to be a coward."
"Hahaha!"
Gongye Zhiqian and his younger brothers who had passed the imperial examination laughed out loud. They did not dare to say anything that would anger the young master from aristocratic family, but that did not stop them from laughing.
Shi Jiancheng bowed his head and clasped his fists to Lu Jie, "Mr. Lu, please come forward and tell me what the bet is about."
A supervisor saluted to the students, but the well-educated and polite students looked disdainful. What a realistic life.
Lu Jie raised his head proudly, "What bet? How come I don't know about it?"
Just pretend to be unconscious. If he really wants to admit it, he has to crawl under the crotch of that bastard Gu Jiajing. He can be shameless but he cannot lose the reputation of the Lu family.
This statement completely angered everyone, and everyone pointed at him and cursed: "How shameless! We were all there that day and heard it with our own ears. How could you turn your back on me?"
"Lu Jie, you are shameless and your words are bullshit. There were so many people present at the tribute hall that day. I wonder how you will survive in the capital from now on."
Xia Yunheng was so angry that he uttered many harsh words. Although he didn't learn much knowledge from his elder cousin, he learned a lot of polite and cursing techniques.
"Empress Lu is of noble character. I didn't expect that the Lu family would produce such a capable person." Gu Jiajing's years of anger were finally released, and it felt so damn satisfying to curse her out.
It was Queen Lu's persuasion that caused his sister to guard the border for many years. Today, he finally fought for his sister.
Lu Jie gnashed his teeth, his eyes red with grievance. When had he ever felt so aggrieved?
The empty head uttered, "You can just scold me, why did you escalate it to my aunt?"
Finally, Shi Jiancheng caught him wrong, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Gu Jieyuan committed treason and openly insulted the current queen. I will now go to the palace to report to Your Majesty that Gu Jieyuan has a lack of moral character and is unworthy of being the champion of the provincial examination. He should be stripped of his title and disqualified from the imperial examination."
With such a big hat, it would not be too much for Gu Jiajing and his entire family to be executed, but he himself was not in a hurry, "What's wrong with me praising the queen's noble character?"
Xia Yunheng naturally stood on his brother's side, "You don't have to go, I will go to the palace and let my uncle judge for us. It is absolutely fair."
