Chapter 96 Dancing on a Grave
Is there a conflict between the new Chancellor of the Imperial Academy and the previous Chancellor?
Is there a contradiction?
Everyone looked at each other, and one by one they shook their heads.
Nobody really knew about this.
[They're laughing so hard they're about to strike it rich. Outsiders thought the former and new Chancellor of the Imperial Academy were good buddies, but no one expected that the happiest person after the former Chancellor's death wouldn't be his wife or his two sons, but rather the new Chancellor.]
If the people from the Imperial Academy were here, they would definitely refute Shen Zhiyi.
After the former Chancellor of the Imperial Academy was beaten to death, the Vice Minister of Works, out of consideration for the years of nurturing and guidance he had received, still buried him in the ancestral graveyard.
【result……】
Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up as she excitedly looked up at the top of everyone's heads.
On a dark and windy night, before an empty grave, a shadowy figure lurked about.
If it weren't for the surveillance camera's ability to adjust its brightness to daylight, one would never have guessed that the furtive figure was actually the newly appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Academy.
Everyone looked at the newly appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Academy with suspicion.
No, what are you doing at someone else's ancestral grave in the middle of the night?
The newly appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Academy trembled, wishing he could slap himself on the spot.
Let him talk too much; he has no reason to stand up and say anything.
"I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything."
Some people lamented.
"It seems the rumors were true. The two Chancellors of the Imperial Academy had a really good relationship."
How could he not have done anything? He must have been secretly mourning his friend.
The newly appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Academy collapsed on the spot.
He looked at the old emperor with tears in his eyes and shook his head frantically.
He didn't!
He really didn't!
Who just said that? They're trying to get him into trouble!
The former Chancellor of the Imperial Academy was beaten to death by the Emperor. If he still has a good relationship with the former Chancellor, he's just asking for trouble.
not to mention……
[Hahaha, everyone probably thinks the new Chancellor of the Imperial Academy is secretly offering incense and prayers to his friend late at night, away from the old emperor.]
[Wrong, wrong! This kid first performed a shamanistic ritual on the grave of the former Chancellor of the Imperial Academy—that's like dancing on someone's grave! And that's not all; he then peed on it and finally barked like a dog.]
Everyone: ...It seems the rumors are untrue; they don't look like they have a good relationship.
Old Emperor: What kind of fetish is this?
The official in charge of the Ministry of Works looked rather grim.
[Haha, here's the funniest part: Although that official in the Ministry of Works had a father who wasn't human, no matter what, people are still human, and he still loved his father deep down. So what?]
The Ministry of Works official wished he could sew Shen Zhiyi's head back on the spot.
So he secretly went to pay respects at the grave of the former Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, and wept bitterly over the grave.
【But, you're too late, Minister of Works. Your tears are coming from above—piss, uh, you know what I mean. So how could you come up behind everyone else to mourn your father?】
[Is it the kind where you use your front and back feet?]
[But it's nothing, anyway, even the Ministry of Works official wouldn't know, and it would be rather disgusting if he did.]
The Ministry of Works official felt like the sky was falling.
He not only knew, but he also knew the entire process in great detail.
The low, suppressed laughter from his colleagues around him made him even more embarrassed.
He said that there was a smell of urine on the grave.
Case solved!
Come on!
The Ministry of Works official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present."
Since your new Chancellor of the Imperial Academy is against it, then he will do the opposite and annoy the other party to death!
"I believe that being down-to-earth is very important. We have studied hard for decades, all for the purpose of serving the country and realizing our lofty ambitions. But if we only have knowledge from books and have not done it ourselves, then we cannot talk about experience. I advocate adding practical courses."
Before the old emperor could speak, the newly appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Academy stepped forward again.
"No, no, the purpose of sending the successful candidates in the imperial examinations to various counties each year is precisely to accumulate experience."
The Ministry of Works official revealed a wicked smile; these were exactly the words he had been waiting for.
"Just for the sake of those new officials' experience, the people will encounter unknown difficulties in the process. That's one thing. Most importantly, the county magistrate must be paid a salary."
The old emperor's breath hitched; his stingy nature began to stir.
Yes, yes!
Why should I spend money to let those county magistrates gain experience?
Why can't we learn those experiences directly while studying?
If he passes the exam, he can just use it directly.
[The words of the Assistant Minister of Works have struck a chord with the old emperor, but while they sound easy, implementing them will undoubtedly present a host of problems.]
The old emperor waved his hand dismissively, saying that any policy implemented would face difficulties.
But with so many people to support, we can't possibly fail to resolve such a small matter.
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, I think it is not advisable to promote this matter nationwide immediately. We can try it out at the Imperial Academy first. If it works, we can gradually promote it. If it doesn't work, it won't be a big waste."
This is just a pilot program.
The old emperor nodded in agreement: "Alright, you should take this matter very seriously, Grand Master."
The newly appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Academy: "..."
"The minister obeys the order."
[Hahaha, this new Chancellor of the Imperial Academy must be having a headache. With just one word from the old emperor, everyone below has to rack their brains.]
[Add practical lessons? In which areas? How to implement them? And how to ensure the methods are effective?]
[Tsk tsk tsk, what an unscrupulous boss.]
After a brief moment of reflection, Shen Zhiyi gave a smug smile.
Hehe, thank goodness it wasn't me.
The newly appointed Chancellor of the Imperial Academy: You're still laughing! You actually kept laughing! That's exactly what you came up with.
The Ministry of Works official snorted coldly. Shen Lang is a good person, what's wrong with him smiling!
The two began to stare at each other.
【Huh? Where's the old emperor?】
The two looked at the spot where the old emperor had been sitting, but no one was there.
[Oh, so he went to the toilet. I think he felt the urge during court, and he held it in for so long. I'll remember that, hahaha.]
The old emperor, preparing to relieve himself: Who keeps a record of the emperor going to the toilet in their daily records?
The old emperor is no longer here, and the ministers have not received any decree to leave, so they dare not move about.
But exchanging pleasantries in hushed tones—no, I mean, discussing in hushed tones how to implement the addition of practical lessons—was still feasible.
[That's strange. Why does that Imperial Secretary have such a stern face? He looks exactly like... something else? Like someone owes him five hundred taels of silver.]
The secretary, who had been silent all along, stiffened slightly.
Zhang Sheren leaned closer and whispered in Shen Zhiyi's ear, "Lin Sheren has always been like this, and he doesn't have a very good temper. Shen Lang, don't be too direct with your eyes."
Shen Zhiyi quickly lowered her head and asked Zhang Sheren in a low voice, "Am I very obvious?"
Zhang Sheren nodded vigorously.
[What's wrong with that? Even if I'm dressed as a man, I'm still using my real face!]
