"Guo Yuanzheng, can you tell me what happened?"
On the dragon chair, Song Ji looked indifferently at Guo Zhao, the principal of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy. At the same time, he looked at Yun Ze, and his head felt a little painful unconsciously.
Why is this guy so capable of causing trouble? I want to kill him, but I can't let him go. Not to mention Yunze's literary talents, his painting skills alone make Song Ji even more reluctant to let him go.
He has no other hobbies except painting and calligraphy. The more prodigy he is in calligraphy and painting, the more he likes it. Otherwise, he would have sent people to kill Yunze as early as when someone reported that he might be rebelling.
He didn't want to hear Li Gang's side of the story, nor did he want to hear Yun Ze's side of the story, but he trusted the director of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy. After all, he picked it up with his own hands.
Guo Zhao looked slightly stunned when he heard this. He looked at Yun Ze and then at Li Gang, his face a little confused. He really didn't know what happened.
He didn't know exactly what was going on. He just instinctively felt that Yunze was too arrogant and domineering, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, I don't know much about this matter. Why don't you ask the person involved..." Guo Zhao raised his head and looked at Emperor Jing.
Although he doesn't like Yunze, he won't slander Yunze randomly. He has no good character, only integrity.
Of course, whether Yunze was right or Yunze was wrong, he still wanted to make it clear to the emperor that Yunze was not suitable to be the president of the calligraphy and painting academy.
When Song Ji heard this, he glanced at Yunze and then at Li Gang on the ground. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Li Gang on the ground quickly said:
"Your Majesty, as soon as Yunze, the high priest, arrived at the gate of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, he beat my son Li Ming for no reason. After the minister heard about this, he came over to argue with him, but he took advantage of the fact that he was personally conferred by Your Majesty. Da Jijiu, arrogantly and domineeringly beat Wei Chen, breaking the legs of Wei Chen and Wei Chen's son. Not only that, he also disabled more than 20 guards under Wei Chen. ,"
As soon as Li Gang said these words. Everyone at the scene was stunned, and everyone looked at Yunze with shock in their eyes.
They didn't care that Yunze was arrogant and domineering and maimed others by taking advantage of his status as a high priest. What they cared about was that Yunze single-handedly maimed more than 20 guards of the calligraphy and painting academy.
Is this person so fierce? It can simply be described as brutal.
Song Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, twitched his face when he heard this, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly. Especially when he heard that Yunze used his reputation to hurt people, it made him even more angry.
Seeing Song Ji's look, everyone present was shocked. Song Rui, Jing'an Hou and others suddenly became worried about Yunze. Song Ji's look clearly meant he was going to get angry.
Although Song Ji usually would not kill his subordinates casually, he had done so, especially those who annoyed him. Yunze clearly annoyed him.
Song Rui and Marquis Jing'an were ready to intercede for Yunze, but they didn't dare to move casually before Song Ji got angry.
However, when Li Gang and his son Li Ming saw this scene, a surge of pride filled their faces. They slandered Yunze by confusing right and wrong, and this time they were afraid that Yunze would not die. After all, there are so many sacrificial wines on my side to bear witness.
With Guo Zhao's support, he didn't believe he couldn't kill Yunze. At this time, one of the calligraphers and painters from the Painting and Calligraphy Academy said:
"Your Majesty, if such an arrogant, domineering, and crazy person serves as a grand sacrificial wine in our calligraphy and painting academy, it will really insult the reputation of our calligraphy and painting academy. Please punish Yun Ze."
"Your Majesty, please punish Yunze..."
Other sacrificial wines also followed suit.
Before the calligraphy and painting academy had finished playing, someone from Li Zheng's side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this son Yunze is really too arrogant. He has caused so much trouble in just a few days since he came to the capital. This son is absolutely This is a bad behavior and an insult to the saints. If such perverse people are not severely punished, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Following this man's voice, all the officials of Li Zhengyi's faction took a step forward and said: "Please ask your Majesty to judge... severely punish the murderer..."
Among these people, there are still some people who belong to King Kang's lineage, and they just took the opportunity to kill Yunze.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Song Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He was on the verge of an explosion.
If someone said Yunze was bad, he might not pay attention to it, but so many ginseng Yunze made him feel irritable, and he couldn't help but feel resentful towards Yunze.
His Highness Song Rui's expression changed drastically when he saw this scene. He quickly took a step forward and opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something else going on in this matter. Since the Yunze people are already here, why don't Your Majesty listen to his explanation. , or it’s not like what they said.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also feel that there is something hidden in this matter. It is best to investigate first... and it will not be too late to convict after the investigation."
Marquis Jing'an also followed suit. As he spoke out, many officials from Song Rui's faction also quickly echoed, but they did not immediately intercede for Yunze. But I hope Yunze can come out and clarify.
In addition to believing that Yunze would not mess around, they also had trouble interceding randomly when Song Ji was about to get angry. This will arouse Song Ji's resentment even more.
As Song Rui and others spoke these words, Song Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly calmed down a bit. He looked at Yunze, who had been silent and had an indifferent expression, with a slightly stunned expression and a slight curl of the corner of his mouth.
He admired Yunze's attitude, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't panic when things happened. This magnanimity alone made him feel a little more happy about Yunze. The anger caused by Li Gang's words just calmed down.
"Yunze, since you are also a party involved, you can admit to the charges they are suing you for!" He said to Yunze calmly.
At this time, he was already thinking in his mind that if Yunze could defend himself, even if the explanation was not very reasonable, he would decide to help Yunze. Let him get out of this.
Hearing this, Yunze glanced at Song Lin who had been trying to speak but was stopped by his eyes. He smiled and gave her a reassuring look. He saluted Song Ji and said:
"Thank you for your majesty's wisdom... Before Wei Chen clarifies for himself, may your Majesty allow Wei Chen to ask Guo Yuanzheng and Li Zhong a few words about the wine ceremony..."
As soon as he said these words, everyone and Song Ji were shocked. This guy didn't clarify for himself at this time, but asked questions. What did he mean? ? Is he wasting his time?
However, Song Ji didn't care. He nodded to Yunze and said, "That's right... you all get up!"
His personality is like that. When he likes you, he won't care too much about anything you do. But when he doesn't like you, if you offend him, his life may be in danger.
Now he just likes Yunze, not only because of Yunze's talent and learning, but also because of Yunze's calmness and calmness. Of course, it was also because Yunze flattered him before and it made him feel good!
The main reason was because of Yunze's superb painting skills, which made him reluctant to kill Yunze.
Hearing this, Yun Ze smiled slightly. He stood up and walked towards Guo Zhao, giving a slight salute to the old man. Although the old man didn't like him, he didn't confuse right and wrong, which made Yunze respect him a bit.
"Guo Yuanzheng, I would like to ask, you should be retired soon!"
Hearing this, Guo Zhao said with an indifferent expression on his face: "I am ninety-nine this year, and will be eighty in half a year. Your Majesty, considering the hard work of our minister, has already allowed us to retire at eighty..."
There was a look of pride on his face. If a person like him retired, he would be able to obtain an honor that ordinary people could not achieve.
Others may get nothing if they retire with honor, but if he retires with honor, he may even be granted a title, which is what the emperor promised him. Therefore, when talking about his retirement, the old man's face was filled with pride.
However, he couldn't figure it out. Yunze suddenly asked him what he meant by retiring. Not only did he not know, but the people around him and Song Ji on the dragon throne didn't understand either.
At this time, Yunze changed the topic and said, "Since the old academy is about to retire in half a year, I don't know who the next president of the Calligraphy and Painting Academy will be... Among all the academy, who is the most suitable!"
As soon as Yunze said these words, everyone was stunned. Everyone came back to their senses, and their eyes on Yun suddenly became a little ugly. Especially Li Gang and the other people offering wine, their eyes were about to burst out with fire.
Everyone thought that Yunze wanted to ask for the position of the Chancellor in front of the emperor. He himself had not solved the crisis of being punished. Could it be that this kid had his eyes on the position of the Chancellor.
Song Ji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also frowned and felt a little unhappy. He had originally intended for Yunze to take over as the head of Guo Zhaoyuan. However, asking Yunze for it is a completely different matter.
Even Song Rui and Marquis Jing'an looked at Yunze with some astonishment. They instinctively felt that Yunze might want this chancellor, but they thought it was unlikely.
After all, Song Rui had wanted to introduce Yunze to Beijing countless times before, but Yunze refused them all. If Yunze is really greedy for power. With his ability, he wanted to help Yunze rise to power.
But he is not just a dean, he may even take over his class in the future. They instinctively felt that Yunze might have another purpose.
Although Guo Zhao was stunned, he still said with a cold face: "Your Majesty should have made the decision on this matter, but if I were to recommend it, of course it would be Li Gang and Li Zhong offering wine..."
He also thought that Yunze was trying to gain some legitimacy from the hospital, and he couldn't help but feel contempt for Yunze in his heart. Moreover, he seemed to be telling Yunze openly.
Don't think that His Majesty wants you to be the Chancellor, but I won't recommend you. The best candidate in my mind is of course Li Zhong Jijiu!
Following his statement, other Jijiujiu from the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting also quickly followed suit: "Yes, of course Li Zhongjijiu should be the next president of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Whether it is talent, learning or conduct, Li Zhongjijiu can be the next president." Much better than someone else!"
"That is, we strongly recommend that Li Zhongjijiu take over as Guo Yuanzheng."
"Your Majesty, we are willing to recommend Li Zhong Jijiu as the president of the academy..."
The people talking about the wine ceremony were getting more and more excited. It was not yet time to discuss who would take over. Moreover, Guo Zhao had not resigned yet. These people actually took the opportunity to ask for an official position from Li Gang.
