The reason why Huang Xie is in a good mood is simple to say -
A few days ago, Xiong Wuliang had a battle of wits and courage with the local clans. In the end, the academy students made a decisive move... It could be said that it was a desperate move that turned defeat into victory in an instant, causing those arrogant clans to be completely defeated.
Now, thousands of academy students have become officials in the four counties.
And he did a good job. After a short adaptation period, he was even better than those officials who came from the clan.
It can be regarded as answering the saying that has been circulated in the academy for a long time - although we are from farmers, we are no worse than wealthy families!
By the way, Xiong Wuliang looked more like a human being this time - seeing that the academy was doing well, he waved his hand and allocated thousands of gold as funds for the academy... Even for Huang Xie, who was born in the Huang family, this amount of money was not a small amount. .
With money, we can continue to expand the scale of the academy, recruit more students, and improve the food in the canteen...
Next year, the academy is expected to expand its enrollment by 2,000 students! The age is relaxed to 8 to 18 years old!
Think of the thousands of students who all call themselves "Master"...
Huang Xie was so happy that he almost passed out!
That old man Kong was nothing more than that, right?
He lost a bet with Xiong Wuliang and had to work in the fiefdom for three years... But at present, Huang Xie is really reluctant to part with the academy he cultivated with all his heart.
Being the boss in today's powerful academy is much better than fighting in the court!
As for returning to the prince? Continue to be a staff member?
It doesn't seem interesting.
Whenever he thinks about this, Huang Xie will fall into deep entanglements... As Xiong Wuliang said, working in the academy is meaningful and can improve himself... If he leaves the academy, where can there be such a good place?
Three years later, where to go?
But... Huang Xie was too lazy to think so much. At this moment, he happily came to his bedroom hidden by the bamboo forest and opened the door...
A gust of wind blew.
A bright white sword stabbed at Huang Xie's head steadily and hard... Huang Xie was shocked and fell backwards, narrowly dodging the sword edge... Two strands of broken hair followed. The sword is falling in the wind.
At this moment, Huang Xie was extremely grateful that he was still 'a child'.
The assassin screamed in surprise, as if he didn't expect that the headmaster of Quyang Academy was actually a short child... He originally wanted to stab the person in the chest, but Huang Xie was short, so the sword edge was aimed at the head. Huang Xie ducked and avoided it.
Huang Xie didn't care about his image anymore, turned around and ran away!
While running, shouting for help!
At the same time, he drew the sword from his waist and tried his best to resist the assassin's sword.
It’s also thanks to the fact that the noble princes of this era all learned swordsmanship...Before the Han and Tang dynasties, even the literati could juggle a few tricks (it is said that Confucius was a 1.9-meter-tall Shandong man who admired archery and driving chariots. He was indeed a fierce man) , not comparable to those corrupt Confucians after the Song Dynasty who were not diligent in their four bodies and indifferent to their five grains.
In just a moment, dozens of soldiers guarding the academy rushed over... The students along the way also picked up their weapons and pounced on the masked assassin.
The assassin groaned in frustration, turned around and ran away.
Huang Xie was left alone, surrounded by concerned students, still in shock.
…
Almost at the same time, Qu Yuan was also assassinated... But Qu Yuan was still working overtime in the Hou Mansion to review official documents. As we all know - the Hou Mansion was closely protected by Qingyu Guards and Black Feather Guards everywhere...
Before the unlucky assassin could take action, he was captured by a group of big men in green or black clothes.
Xiong Wuliang was currently conducting a unique botanical experiment with Xiaoyi in the backyard - they got a lot of weeds of unknown species and tried to find a substitute for 'fennel'.
Fennel is native to the Mediterranean region and was introduced to China during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties...Xiong Wuliang was very greedy for fennel beans, so he tried it today.
Listening to Huang Wu and Yin Yu rushing to report the assassination incident, Xiong Wuliang's face turned ugly! It would be fine to assassinate Huang Xie, but Qu Yuan was in the Hou Mansion. This assassin actually dared to enter the Hou Mansion to assassinate him?
How unreasonable!
"Find out the mastermind." Xiong Wuliang ordered with a gloomy face: "Look at the Qingyu Guards and the Black Feather Guards. Whoever can find out the assassin first will be rewarded by me!"
Huang Wu and Yin Yu looked at each other and turned around and left almost at the same time, for fear of being a step too late.
"Wait a minute." Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "Carry it farther away for interrogation. Don't shock the female family members in the Hou Mansion."
In less than half an hour, Huang Wu and Yin Yu came back covered in blood: "The assassins have been recruited, and they have recruited everything! They just barely removed every hair on their own mother's body!"
"Assassins are dead warriors, with poison in their mouths...but these methods cannot be hidden from us."
"According to the confession, the assassin was a dead soldier of Guo Mansion! Guo Huai sent two people to assassinate Qu Yuan and Huang Xie respectively..."
Mr. Xiong Wu was stunned!
This Guo family doesn't even intend to cause trouble to them... They are really looking for death!
Is face so important?
Speaking of which, Huang Wu and Yin Yu do have something... Even dead men can be found out, but I don't know what method they used...
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense - if the assassins sent by Qin or Zhaoju could just assassinate themselves, why bother to assassinate Qu Yuan and Huang Xie?
In the last round of confrontation, these clans were defeated by Huang Xie's Quyang Academy. It is reasonable to hate Huang Xie deeply... As for Qu Yuan, it is even more hateful! The 'Inspection Order' was issued by Qu Yuan!
Qu Yuan came in a hurry - he had just learned that someone was going to assassinate him.
"Quzi, are you okay?" Xiong Wuliang reassured him casually.
Of course it's okay, not even a hair fell out... This is the benefit of working overtime for me!
Look at that Huang Xie, he was almost stabbed!
This is the consequences of leaving get off work on time!
Qu Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, my lord... This must be the fault of the clan!"
Xiong Wuliang was very surprised - didn't you know that Qu Yuan also had the ability to predict events like a god?
"The Lord has almost completely dismissed the officials from the clans. For these clans, it is tantamount to destroying the foundation! This is a deep hatred that has lasted for hundreds of years, and no amount of revenge can be exaggerated!"
"Assassinating Chen and Huang Xie, but not daring to assassinate the Lord... I guess it must be the clan's fault!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded approvingly.
really.
I still underestimated the vengeance of those clans... Think about it, Wu Qi, who was famous and had great victory in the Chu Kingdom, was finally shot to death by the arrows of those crazy clans... The interests of the old clans in the Chu Kingdom , it’s really not easy to move.
And Xiong Wuliang deprived the clan of its official privileges. This simply destroyed the foundation of the clan's strength!
No wonder the Guo family lost their lychees...
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand and said concisely: "Send the order!"
"Search the Guo Mansion and put everyone in jail!"
"Move quickly, don't let them escape!"
Want to resist?
Just in time to let other people who secretly oppose the reform take a look at Xiong Wuliang's iron fist!
The momentum of reform is unstoppable!
