The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

The Spring and Autumn Academy in Qinghe County wasn't well-known, and it was a mess before Jiang Fengmian arrived. However, Jiang Fengmian possessed considerable skill, having reformed the academy's old systems in a short period of time, recruiting teachers and students. In just one year, he had made the academy famous. If he could become the principal of Yousong Academy, the emperor could rest assured. He possesses both ability and character.

Jiang Fengmian had been in Qinghe County for such a long time, yet he had remained single and had never considered getting married. He was a little excited to be back this time, after all, to see Xie Qingzhi. Jiang Fengmian was far away in Qinghe, and I wondered if he knew that Xie Qingzhi was divorced. It would be wonderful if the two could rekindle their past relationship. Compared to Xie Qingzhi's love for those messy people, this Jiang Fengmian was undoubtedly a pure love god, even still keeping his virginity for Xie Qingzhi.

Given Jiang Fengmian's mild-mannered personality, it would likely take some time for these two to reconcile. Furthermore, Jiang Fengmian would need to stay in the capital so they could have the chance to see each other more often.

Although Gu Jianchu really wanted to watch the show, she would never interfere in such matters.

Jiang Fengmian is very good, and maybe the abilities of other teachers are not inferior to Jiang Fengmian. As for whether Jiang Fengmian can stay in the capital and be picked up by her, it still depends on his own efforts.

The next day, Xie Ci'an met with the five masters in the Chuigong Hall. He asked them a few simple questions and some academic issues, and then let them go.

As the five of them walked down the corridor, they couldn't help but discuss quietly, "The Emperor's question is too simple, and it's unclear which of us the Emperor wants to use."

After Du Chao from Baitong Academy finished speaking, Liang Mo from Qiunan Academy continued, "I heard that the new emperor is moody, and the questions the emperor asked us are all so confusing that we have no clue. It could be anyone in the end. What do you think, Brother Jiang? I heard that you're from the capital and even ranked in the top three in the imperial examination. If your father hadn't offended the previous emperor, he wouldn't have been banished to a place as miserable as Qinghe. You should know something about the emperor, right?"

Everyone has known each other's identities in order to know each other. After all, the dean of a small place is different from the dean of Yousong Academy. After all, it is the capital, and it is the academy that the emperor values most. How can the identity and status be compared with that of a small place?

Everyone wants to stay in the capital.

Jiang Fengmian was dressed in white, with a casual demeanor. He didn't take the things Liang Mo mentioned too seriously. Instead, he said gently, "The abilities of all of you are superior to mine. Even if I have to choose, I will definitely choose from among you. As for the emperor, although I grew up in the capital, I haven't seen him for many years. When the emperor conquered the northwest, he was so brave and invincible. How could mortals like us see him?"

Jiang Fengmian spoke beautifully and got away with it without offending anyone.

After saying this, Jiang Fengmian followed the young eunuch and walked straight out of the palace.

The remaining deans exchanged polite words and left.

Once they left the palace, ambition was evident on everyone's face.

Gu Jianchu's life in Chuigong Palace was quite comfortable. Every day he just ate and slept, and occasionally helped the emperor sort out some letters sent from various parties.

Gu Jianchu took the tea from Xiao Fuzi and placed it next to Xie Ci'an. He then walked behind the man, rubbed Xie Ci'an's brow, and said softly, "Your Majesty, my elder sister has been under house arrest for a while, and she hasn't done anything serious. Why don't you arrest those guards outside my elder sister's mansion? Now everyone in the capital is speculating, and some people think that your Majesty is at odds with my elder sister and is deliberately making things difficult for her."

Xie Ci'an's hand holding the pen suddenly paused, and then he placed the pen on the inkstone beside him. With a casual pull, Gu Jianchu sat in Xie Ci'an's arms. His fingers gently lifted Gu Jianchu's chin, forcing Gu Jianchu to look at him, "Why did Ah Chu suddenly plead for her?"

"I'm not begging for mercy, sister. I'm also responsible for leaving the palace this time. Xie Qingzhi only suggested it at that time. If I hadn't agreed, my elder sister couldn't have taken me out of the palace. Even if Sanlang wanted to punish me, he couldn't just punish my elder sister." Gu Jianchu's fingers were wrapped around the belt around Xie Ci'an's waist.

Xie Ci'an was only thinking about Gu Jianchu's safety at the time, and didn't think about anything else.

Xie Ci'an lowered his head and kissed the corner of Gu Jianchu's lips. "Since Ah Chu has spoken to me, I can't afford to offend Ah Chu. Cheng Song, send someone to inform the Five Cities Military Department and have them withdraw all the guards outside the *** Mansion."

Although Cheng Song didn't know what means the Queen used to make Xie Ci'an withdraw his troops, he immediately followed the Emperor's instructions.

Xie Ci'an patted Gu Jianchu's lower back and said gently, "Since you've helped Ah Chu solve the problem with my elder sister, Ah Chu, can you help me sort out that pile of letters?"

"It's a small matter, a small matter." Gu Jianchu walked to the couch beside him with a stack of letters and sat down.

In the past, these things were done by Xiao Fuzi. Since Gu Jianchu came, Xie Ci'an handed these things over to Gu Jianchu.

Gu Jianchu sorted and arranged the letters according to where they were submitted and their importance.

This does prevent some officials from interfering in the matter.

In the past, some officials put important local letters at the bottom for their own selfish desires. By the time Xie Ci'an saw them, it was too late. Since then, Xie Ci'an asked Xiao Fuzi to prioritize all the letters sent to him.

Gu Jianchu looked at the bare envelope and couldn't help but frown, "Your Majesty, what do you think is going on?"

It was the first time that Gu Jianchu saw an envelope with nothing on it. He didn't know whether he was in a hurry and forgot to write, or he accidentally put an empty envelope in it.

Xie Ci'an said gently, "Take it apart and take a look?"

Even if someone makes such a mistake, the eunuch in charge of the writing will check it carefully before sending it over. He will never send a blank piece of paper over. Since it is placed in there, it must be something important.

Gu Jianchu followed Xie Ci'an's instructions and opened the envelope. The more he looked at the contents, the uglier his expression became. After scanning it, Gu Jianchu immediately handed it to Xie Ci'an. "It's a letter accusing Du Chao of Baitong Academy."

After Xie Ci'an took a look at it, he tightened his grip on the letter and slammed it heavily on the table. "I never thought a mere scholar would do such a thing."

Perhaps when scholars do evil things, they are much more disgusting than those warriors.

Gu Jianchu advised from the side, "Your Majesty, please do not be angry. We still don't know who wrote this letter, and we don't know whether the contents of the letter are true or false. If it is a false accusation by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't it be an injustice to a good person?"
