I have a little bit of talent

At this time, in the imperial palace in the capital city, dozens of miles away from the academy, several people stayed up all night, paying attention to the affairs of the academy.

The Great Zhou Palace was built quite magnificently, with pavilions, towers and dozens of palaces. The largest palace among them was called the Qinzheng Palace.

The Qinzheng Hall was usually where the Emperor of Zhou handled government affairs. During the day, he would meet with officials and listen to their reports, making decisions on all matters, big and small. At night, there were few people here except for some guards.

But at this time, the Qinzheng Hall was brightly lit, illuminating the entire hall.

There were only three people in the entire hall. One of them sat high on the dragon throne, wearing a brocade robe. He had a majestic look without even being angry. He was none other than the current ruler of the Great Zhou, Emperor Changlong!

One of the other two stood beside Emperor Changlong, with his hands behind his back, his facial features as if carved by a knife.

Even in this palace, this man looked around from time to time, very alert!

This man is obviously Emperor Changlong's personal bodyguard.

The other person was a middle-aged scholar, sitting in the front left corner of the hall, closest to the dragon throne. He had an extremely handsome face, but his eyes were a little dim at this moment, and he seemed to be a little uneasy.

"Dean Wenren, in consideration of your many years of service to the academy, I will leave Mu Qianqiu to you to handle on your own. Please make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Emperor Changlong lowered his eyes, and a voice came from above. This Confucian scholar was naturally Wenren Jingyi, the current president of the Beijing Academy.

Hearing what Emperor Changlong said, Wen Ren Jingyi quickly stood up, bowed deeply, and replied:

“Mu Qianqiu deserves death for doing such an evil thing, and I would like to thank Your Majesty for being magnanimous and allowing us to solve the problem ourselves.

“Otherwise, once this matter gets out, I’m afraid the reputation of the academy will be ruined, and I will be speechless in front of the predecessors of the academy.

"This matter was arranged by Junior Brother Fang. There is no way Mu Qianqiu can escape. He will definitely die!"

Wenren Jingyi was so angry that he cursed.

I was doing well. When I was busy, I taught and educated people, and cultivated my spirit. When I was free, I traveled around, saw the mountains and rivers, and lived a very comfortable life.

Recently, I was visiting old friends in Hanzhou, northern Xinjiang, and sightseeing. Unexpectedly, I received a letter from Fang Lu's soul while I was chatting and drinking tea with my friends.

When he saw this, he was so shocked that the tea spilled all over the floor. He hurriedly apologized to his friend and said goodbye, then hurried back to the capital to meet the emperor.

Our own academy has produced a person like Mu Qianqiu, who has also held the high position of the second principal for many years. This is really a serious matter. If we are not careful, the reputation of the academy for many years may be damaged. We have to be anxious!

Emperor Changlong continued, "Since it was arranged by Fang Lu, there should be no accidents."

Seeing that Wen Renjing looked unhappy, he immediately comforted him:

"Dean, there is no need to do this. Mu Qianqiu has been hiding for many years. I have seen him several times but never found any clues. It is understandable that you did not investigate for the time being.

"The academy has educated countless capable ministers and generals for our Great Zhou over the years. Fang Lu also graduated from the academy and has made great contributions.

"There is no way I would punish the academy just because of Mu Qianqiu."

Wenren Jingyi bowed again after hearing the words.

"Your Majesty is generous and I admire you very much.

"It's just that Mu Qianqiu has been the second headmaster for many years. After all, my academy didn't know how to judge people, so this happened. Your Majesty doesn't blame him because you are generous, but my academy can't just pretend that nothing happened.

"After all, after so many years of peace, even I have become a little slack. After this matter is over, I will conduct a thorough investigation of the academy. If anyone is found to have committed evil again, they will not be forgiven!"

Hearing Ren Jingyi's words, Emperor Changlong nodded and said:

“What the dean said is absolutely right. It seems that we need to investigate not only the academy but also the officials of our Great Zhou.

"After all, Mu Qianqiu has been the head of the mountain for many years, and many officials have graduated from his school.

"If these people are alright, that's fine. If they are..."

Emperor Changlong spoke in a calm tone, but Wenren Jingyi sensed a murderous aura from it. He could imagine that if Mu Qianqiu's disciples were involved with him, their fate would not be good.

At this moment, Wenren Jingyi seemed to sense something, stood up and looked towards the direction of the academy.

"Junior Brother Chao has already dispersed the formation, and Mu Qianqiu's aura has dissipated."

Emperor Changlong also stood up and walked down the steps, coming to the side of Wenren Jingyi. The guard followed closely beside him, and the two of them also looked towards the direction of the academy.

"It's a pity that Mu Qianqiu, with all his cultivation, doesn't think about serving the country, but instead does those unorthodox things!"

After all, it is rare to find a master. Even though Emperor Changlong is the lord of the Great Zhou and has knowledge far beyond ordinary people, he couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

"Everyone is free to punish traitors, and Your Majesty need not look askance at them."

The guard next to him spoke for the first time, and said murderously:

"Not only Mu Qianqiu, but also Huaicheng Wei Ming is the same!

"Deceiving superiors and subordinates is a way to death!"

Wei Ming was the former lord of Huaicheng City, and now he was imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Emperor Changlong looked at the guard in surprise, then laughed:

"Xiao Mo, you have been by my side for decades, and I thought you would be unmoved by this matter, but now it seems that is not the case.

"You haven't been around me for many years and you're itching to do anything, right?"

Xiao Mo's expression finally changed a little, he seemed excited, but also unwilling.

“Opponents are hard to come by. Mu Qianqiu has mastered his domain and achieved the Dharmakāya, so he is a rare opponent.

"But Lord Fang Lu must have his reasons for arranging Han Tieyi to take action!"

"Of course you can deal with Mu Qianqiu, but it's hard to kill him."

Wenren Jingyi started to explain at the right time, and when he saw Emperor Changlong and Xiao Mo looking at him, he smiled and said:

"Lord Xiao is indeed a master with profound cultivation, even better than Namu Qianqiu, but you are good at defense but not attack. You can defeat him but it is difficult to kill him. If you let him escape, the consequences will be disastrous."

"But Han Tieyi is always strong and powerful, and he uses his full power to attack with one punch. With his deliberate plan, Mu Qianqiu has no chance of survival."

Emperor Changlong took over the conversation and continued.

"Your Majesty is intelligent, and I admire you!"

Emperor Changlong waved his hand, not caring about Wenren Jingyi's compliments, and continued;

"Fang Lu has always acted very cautiously and carefully, but this time he actually let his eldest son Fang Zheng take the risk of facing Mu Qianqiu.

"It seems that Fang Lu has great trust in his son."

"Fang Zheng is very similar to his father, with both his talent and ability being top-notch, and with his special status,

"If Fang Zheng hadn't been there to hold him back, Mu Qianqiu might not have been able to stay."

Wenren Jingyi explained:

"From the results, it is clear that Fang Zheng has lived up to the trust."

"Indeed, Fang Lu is really enviable for having such a son."

Emperor Changlong sighed a little.

“I heard that this matter was first discovered by Fang Mu, the second son of Fang Lu, who is well-known in our Great Zhou for being a parasite.

"It seems that the rumors are indeed unbelievable. The Fang family is full of talented people!"

Emperor Changlong's eyes turned and he smiled again:

"This Fang Mu is just a young man, so he is a little young, but Fang Zheng is more suitable.

"I want to choose one of my daughters to marry Fang Zheng. Who do you think is suitable?"

This sudden question made Wenren Jingyi a little at a loss. He quickly evaded the question:

"Your Majesty, you should ask Junior Brother Fang about this matter. How dare I have any opinion?

"The world doesn't know, but Your Majesty doesn't know that even though I am the dean and a senior brother, I have always listened to Junior Brother Fang."

Emperor Changlong burst into laughter at these words.

"That's right. Everyone knows that Dean Wenren is not afraid of anything except his junior brother."

Wenren Jingyi was embarrassed and didn't know how to reply.

Even Xiao Mo's stern face showed a rare smile.

This Qinzheng Hall was filled with a rare happy atmosphere.
