Sister, you traveled through time too?
Chapter 43 Suitable candidate
The sky gradually began to darken.
An Yi and An Er arrived late, but lived up to everyone's expectations and brought back a group of students and the dean of Qingshan Academy.
The main hall of the Princess's Mansion was magnificent. Tang Zhao sat at the top, with a chair next to her for Xiaoyu.
She and Tang Zhao sat down condescendingly, "Your Highness, kneeling there was a group of students."
There was also a middle-aged man, who was quite wealthy, wearing expensive clothes and was short in stature.
This man is the current president of Qingshan Academy.
Suisui was taken aside by Cuizhi and sat down obediently. He watched everything in confusion.
He was holding a small schoolbag, which contained the money that An Yi and An Er had snatched back.
But he wanted to know more, where did Jiang Hao go?
He hadn't seen Jiang Hao the whole day, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, but it wasn't the right time to ask, so he just sat there obediently.
All I heard was An Yi coming forward and reporting to Tang Zhao what had happened today.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, this group of students blocked Master Suisui on the road, intending to rob him in revenge, but was stopped by my subordinates."
After An Yi explained what happened today, he pointed out several other people among them. These were poor students who were often robbed.
The amount of money robbed from each student was as high as several thousand coins.
The more Tang Zhao listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. He looked coldly at the dean below and said in a deep voice:
"I didn't know that Qingshan Academy has become a den of bandits?"
"What? Dean Chen is still teaching students how to be bandits?"
Tang Zhao smiled sarcastically with a grim expression, which frightened the middle-aged man so much that he kowtowed quickly.
The man's surname was Chen. He had been the president of Qingshan Academy for eight years. He was so nervous that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he was extremely terrified.
"It is my fault that I did not notice the student's behavior. I will discipline him!"
"I hope the emperor will show mercy and give me a chance to make amends for my crime."
Dean Chen said quickly.
Tang Zhao ignored him and just pointed out a student who had been bullied for years.
He softened his voice and said, "Don't be afraid. Answer me truthfully. Have you reported it to the higher authorities? Have you sought help from the teachers in the academy?"
The student knelt in the hall and remained unperturbed no matter how Dean Chen signaled him.
He kowtowed respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for us. We have reported it many times, but to no avail."
"Among these robbers, there is Dean Chen's nephew. The dean has repeatedly condoned us and doesn't care about our lives at all."
"He threatened us, saying that if we dared to report it, he would expel us for deceiving the teacher and would never allow us to take the imperial examinations again."
"Fortunately, the Emperor and His Highness are wise and have noticed this, which gives us the opportunity to file a complaint!"
The student stood straight, and the other seven or eight bullied students kowtowed with him.
They said in unison: "Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
Tang Zhao asked them to stand up, then angrily asked Dean Chen if he had any other explanation.
"Your Majesty is very insightful! I am a loyal and devoted official who has devoted my whole heart to the academy!"
"Someone must have instructed these students to collude in their testimony. Your Majesty, please be vigilant!"
Dean Chen kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.
It seems to be the case, but Tang Zhao is not a fool.
"Oh, I will send someone to find out what's going on."
Tang Zhao sneered, which was considered as the final judgment for Dean Chen.
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed Dean Chen from his post and sent him to prison, and all the students who committed robbery were taken to the government for interrogation.
The rest of the accomplices were imprisoned and expelled from school, and none of them would be allowed to take the imperial examinations or become officials within three generations.
Compensation was also distributed to the victimized students, and it was stated that if similar situations occurred in the future, they would jointly file a petition.
He will definitely see it through to the end.
But Tang Zhao also understood that the family that Dean Chen supported would definitely not give up the fat piece of meat Qingshan Academy.
His bigger problem now is who to send to clean up the corrupt Qingshan Academy.
Tang Xiaoyu was silent on the side. The news that the emperor was personally renovating Qingshan Academy would spread soon and it could not be concealed.
She sent people to secretly protect these victimized students and did not allow their personal information to be disclosed to avoid retaliation.
With authority in your hands, dealing with these things is so easy; with power in your hands, you can do everything easily.
This was something Tang Zhao had never dared to think about before.
But they can really do it, they can do something for the people and they can change a lot of things.
As the night deepened, Tang Zhao was invited by Xiaoyu to stay and have tea.
He knew his sister must have something to say.
The two of them sat on the carpet in the tea room. Everyone was guarding outside and there were only the two of them in the room.
The soft, snow-white carpet was coated with a layer of golden light under the light, which was warm and charming.
The tea in the stove is boiling and the lights are bright.
Xiaoyu's face was so gentle and bright under the dim candlelight, as if adding a layer of glow to her whole person.
She gently poured the brewed tea into the cup.
Only after Tang Zhao drank a cup of hot tea did she feel relieved of her sorrow.
"Sister, you kept me here because you have something, right?" Tang Zhao smiled gently, holding a teacup in her hand.
The steam rising from the cup is warm and dissipates the chill of the autumn night when it comes to your nose.
"The position of the dean of Qingshan Academy is vacant, and many people are definitely eyeing it."
"The teachers and professors in the academy are probably not only connected, but also have the power secretly planted by the aristocratic families."
"If we want to tidy up this place, we need to appoint someone who is both knowledgeable and upright, and who can act decisively."
"This person must have a clean background and be able to convince the public."
"Are you worried about the candidate?"
Xiaoyu sipped her tea, her eyes as shrewd as ever. She spoke softly and revealed Tang Zhao's thoughts in one sentence.
“Yes, it’s a headache.”
"If we can't find a convincing candidate, the aristocratic families will probably still reach out to Qingshan Academy."
“But it is not easy to find someone with a clean background, extensive knowledge, and the ability to convince others.”
Tang Zhao sighed.
He suddenly looked at Xiaoyu with sparkling eyes and asked with a smile: "Sister, have you already thought of a candidate?"
Xiaoyu smiled without saying anything and just tapped his head.
Tang Zhao quickly shook Xiaoyu's arm and acted coquettishly, asking her to speak quickly.
Xiaoyu smiled and stopped teasing him.
She said sternly, "Master Taifu, Dong Xu."
"This person is suitable."
After hearing this, Tang Zhao immediately recalled it.
According to the original owner's memory, when he was still a prince, Dong Xu served as his teacher.
He is an upright person and has profound knowledge.
Moreover, he does not form cliques for personal gain and has an incredibly clean background. He is from Jiangnan and has no messy forces in the imperial city.
This guy is simply the perfect candidate.
Tang Zhao quickly asked: "Sister, have you ever had contact with Dong Xu?"
"This person meets the requirements, but I don't know if his personality will be enough."
Tang Zhao expressed his concerns. After all, the rectification of Qingshan Academy must be impartial and fair.
"Don't worry, I've made contact."
"Qingshan Academy needs people like him who dare to think and act."
"Dongxu is emotionally insensitive, cannot flatter or curry favor, and cannot be bribed."
"You'll find out if you investigate."
Tang Xiaoyu briefly explained it without much praise, and just asked Tang Zhao to check it out himself.
After all, she was just offering a suggestion.
As to whether it will work or not, it depends on Tang Zhao's thoughts on Dong Xu.
