Chapter 412 Academy gentlemen who think too much (5k) (this month's 400 monthly ticket plus more)

I chatted with the scholars for a while, and learned about the current situation of some students and gentlemen in the academy,
Wang Daoyi waved the two of them back and stayed alone in the gazebo.

"There are currently two pieces of information. One is that the fools are collecting information about the students. From this point of view, they are preparing to manipulate the students. Perhaps, after they have confirmed the attitudes of most of the students, the students in the academy, They will be encouraged by them to take the initiative to participate in the selection of the dean."

"There are a lot of fools who can control the students' choices. Unless Seven Stars uses its power to parachute down a dean, otherwise the person they support will be very likely to be elected."

"However, if Qixing uses his power to parachute someone over, the atmosphere of the academy will definitely deteriorate. At that time, fools can also achieve the purpose of destroying cultural inheritance."

"No. This purpose is probably Pantalone's own, tsk tsk tsk, the twisted Emperor's Chef is really scary."

Wang Daoyi fully understood Pantalone. Since this guy targeted Tongwen Academy, he might have the intention of tampering with Liyue Civilization.

Since Dijun doesn't want to look at him, then he distorts what Dijun cherishes. He should not be the distorted Dijun's chef, but the blackened Dijun's chef.

"Therefore, the most important thing is to defeat the actions of fools without using power or force, and to choose a gentleman with a firm stand as the new dean."

"So... among the four gentlemen, who is the most suitable person?"

Leaning on the pillar of the gazebo, Wang Daoyi thought silently.

The four gentlemen each have their own characteristics. Except for one Mr. Yan Ming who had contact with fools, the other three gentlemen seem to be very clean and self-sufficient people, and they seem to be able to be used as wooing targets.

However, Wang Daoyi was still a little curious about Mr. Yan Ming,
It was he who collected the money, let those Zhidong students in, and helped the fools complete the plan.

It was the 300 million moras in his hands that disappeared, but the old dean did not punish him.

This series of information seems to be telling Wang Daoyi that Mr. Yan Ming is very extraordinary, and he has a very important secret.

"Before the old dean left, he didn't tell me anything about the college. That is to say, in the old dean's view, the college can operate normally without him. So, who will be in charge of the school's operation?"

"Mr. Shi Jing who is loved by the students, or Mr. Jian Zhen who is in charge of the college's internal affairs."

"Or is it Mr. Feng Yuan who controls the external passage of the college, or that mysterious Mr. Yan Ming?"

"Heh, no matter who it is, among these four people, there must be someone left by the old dean. This person is someone who the old dean believes can stabilize the operation of the college, or even two, three, or... all of them. .”

For the old dean, Wang Daoyi trusts the wisdom of the other party very much. A person who has lived for a thousand years, even a stupid person, should see through many things.

Not to mention that the old dean can't be a stupid person,
Since the other party didn't tell Wang Daoyi anything about the academy, it meant that the other party had already made all the preparations before he passed away.

Shi Jing, Jian Zhen, Feng Yuan, Yan Ming.

Among the four most outstanding gentlemen in the college, there must be someone who can be trusted by the old dean.

Suddenly, Wang Daoyi's mind flashed, an inexplicable meaning appeared in his eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Perhaps... the old dean sees farther than everyone else."

He suddenly remembered that the old dean is the caretaker of time.

If the old dean predicted what would happen after his death,
Then Mr. Yan Ming's doubts seem to be explained.

With a hint of a smile, Wang Daoyi disappeared into the gazebo.

Feiyunpo · Pastoral Hall.

Several gentlemen came out of the Pastoral Hall supporting each other,
Behind them are walnuts.

"Everyone, the vigil is over, and we will leave the next thing to the Hall of Rebirth. You only need to wait for the final funeral, and then come to see the old dean for the last time."

Walnut said to several gentlemen,

The gentlemen bowed their hands towards Hu Tao one after another: "Then I will leave it to Hall Master Hu."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Hu Tao also bowed his hands.

After watching the gentlemen leave, Hu Tao shook his head slightly, and then returned to the Hall of Rebirth.

under night,
The gentlemen said goodbye to each other: "Students, it's getting late, let's go home and rest first, and we can talk about things tomorrow when we go back to the college."

"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The gentlemen dispersed and went home.

But Shi Jing, Jian Zhen, Feng Yuan, and Yan Ming, the four well-known gentlemen on the list, did not go home separately, but got together again and walked to the academy.

"Three, the old dean has left, but the academy cannot be left without an owner. We still have to choose one person to deal with the prying eyes of Qixing and those outsiders."

"Brother Shi Jing said that before the old dean left, he entrusted the academy to us, so we can't let the old dean down."

"Hey, you saw the wake for the past two days. The old headmaster had just left, and those people started thinking about it. I'm worried. That's all, Yan Ming, what's going on with you."

"After what happened last time, those outsiders haven't contacted me for a long time, but now that the academy has undergone major changes, they will definitely come to me soon."

"Cooperating with bandits, I have wronged you, brother Yan Ming."

"It's not a grievance. Those people entertained me with good food and drink, and it's not that I was abused." Yan Ming shook his head, but his eyes were still a little disappointed. Obviously, Yan Ming, who had received an orthodox education, was very friendly to fools. It is very disgusting to cooperate with such things, but now for the sake of the big plan, I have to wrong myself.

A group of people talked to each other and walked towards the academy on the quiet night road.

After they left, a figure emerged from the shadows by the roadside, it was Wang Daoyi.

"Sure enough, these four gentlemen are all left behind by the old dean. If Seven Star and Fools don't intervene, these four can completely control the academy."

"However, the cooperation between Yan Ming and the Fools was actually planned by themselves. It seems that when the Fools are planning the Academy, the people in the Academy are also planning the Fools."

"In their chat just now, it seemed that they were also full of guard against Seven Stars. Then, in the current game, there is another camp belonging to the academy."

Seven Stars, Academy, Fools,
The entanglement of the three parties is the real situation of this game.

"However, with me intervening now, the game can no longer be played according to your wishes."

Wang Dao's eyes flashed, he felt that he had found something interesting, and then his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Midnight,

Yan Ming and his classmates finished their discussion and returned to their dormitory alone.
As one of the most important teachers in the academy, he has his own dormitory in the academy, which is convenient for him to rest.

But this time, when Yan Ming opened the door, he immediately saw a handsome young man sitting at his desk, flipping through his teaching documents.

"Yeah, Mr. Yan Ming is back. I'm taking the liberty to visit. I hope you don't mind."

The young man closed the manuscript in his hand, then stood up, seemingly taking a step, but appeared in front of Yan Ming like a stream of light.

Seeing this miraculous scene, Yan Ming's expression changed, and he gave up the choice of calling for help.

With the speed shown by the other party, the other party could kill him before he even yelled out.

"Your self-acceptance is a thief. It would be too impolite for Your Excellency to enter my house and flip through my manuscript."

Yan Ming backed away as calmly as possible,
Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly: "Sir, don't be afraid, I have no malicious intentions, otherwise you would have been lying on the ground long ago."

"My main reason for this trip is to ask my husband a question. What did the old dean tell you, and what are you going to do next?"

Wang Daoyi took a few steps forward and asked Yan Ming, his words seemed to be pressing.

Yan Ming's expression was stern, he thought quickly in his mind, looked at Wang Daoyi, and then suddenly said, "Are you from Seven Stars?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Wang Daoyi looked at him with interest, but there was a dangerous light in his eyes, as if he would hunt him down in the next moment.

Yan Ming didn't change his expression, looked calm, looked at Wang Daoyi, and then shook his head slightly: "Because those outsiders are not so rude, they want to bribe the master of the academy, before we clearly refuse, or in other words, lose the recruitment Before our hopes, those outsiders would be kind to us."

"And the academy has a special status in Liyue. I think that only people from Qixing may sneak into my dormitory. Hmph, Qixing. Just after the old dean left, you can't wait to take the academy back?"

Yan Ming's voice was somewhat unwilling, but more bitter.

In Liyue's thousands of years of development,

Although the Liyue Seven Stars are nominally the existences that assist the emperor in ruling Liyue, everyone should listen to the Seven Stars.

But in fact it is not the case.

You see, even the General Affairs Department directly under Qixing has developed an organization like the secret library, let alone other organizations.

Liyue has seven stars and eight sects, many chambers of commerce, the Hall of Rebirth that walks between life and death, an academy that teaches and educates people and inherits civilization, and there are many ancient alchemist families.
These people, apart from the Seven Stars and Eight Sects, the Seven Stars can mobilize not many forces.

Therefore, in Yan Ming's view, Wang Daoyi was sent by Qixing, probably to threaten or persuade him to obey Qixing.

Yan Ming was unwilling because the Academy had operated independently for thousands of years, but now they were going to return to the seven-star rule in their hands, which might lead to the trend of politics affecting academic development.

Yan Ming was bitter because if Qixing really used power to subdue the academy, then they could only accept it. As for cooperating with fools and fighting against Qixing, the gentlemen of the academy never thought about it.

In their plan, they want to use fools to educate the students and let them know that sometimes, bad people will pretend to be good people,

As a result, halfway through the plan, the old dean passed away.

So the gentlemen revised the plan again, wanting to introduce the variable of fools, so that Seven Stars can transfer the pressure on the academy to fools.

Then the academy can maintain itself as much as possible in the game between the seven stars and the fools.

In this way, Qixing could not directly intervene in the academy without the intervention of fools.
After all, when there are foreign enemies, if you still forcibly suppress your own people, that would be a shame.

Therefore, to bring in the crowd of fools, balance the seven stars, and then negotiate with the seven stars to handle the appointment of the next dean, this is the academy's plan.

Unfortunately, the arrival of Wang Daoyi made this plan impossible to continue.

Yan Ming looked at Wang Daoyi with ashen eyes. He felt that the academy was about to lose its 'neutral and objective' academic standpoint.

The corner of Wang Daoyi's mouth twitched, then he glanced at Yan Ming speechlessly, stretched out his hand to grab the man, and dragged him back to the room.

Although I don't care about being seen, it's better to hide if I can, so that I can enjoy playing detective games.

"I'm afraid you think a little too much. Although I have some cooperation with Ningguang, I am not her person."

"I came here just to find out what's going on at the academy, and to foil Pantalone's plot."

Wang Daoyi said to Yan Ming with the feeling of playing a game and talking to an NPC.

Yan Ming was a little confused, it seemed that things were a little different from what he thought,
He hesitated for a while, looked at Wang Daoyi, and asked, "So, you are not from Qixing?"

"Of course, didn't I say that. I have cooperated with Ningguang, but I am not her." Wang Daoyi nodded seriously, and answered Yan Ming's question again.

"Then you are not a fool?"

Wang Daoyi curled his lips: "Mr. Yan Ming, although you are not a working teacher, you are still a teacher anyway. Can you not be obedient and miss it? As I said before, I came here to deal with fools."

Yan Ming nodded, and then recovered his expression, with a trace of wariness in his eyes, he looked at Wang Daoyi again: "You are neither a member of Seven Stars nor a member of fools, then who are you?"

From Yan Ming's point of view, the affairs of the academy involve Qixing and the Fools, and no outsiders should be involved.

"My name is Wang Daoyi, have you heard of it?"

"Wang Dao Yi Wang Dao Yi" Yan Ming felt a little familiar, and then a flash of light flashed in his mind, "Wang Dao Yi!! It's you!"

The name Wang Daoyi, among ordinary people in Liyue, may not be special, or even very common. Everyone has heard it, and at most they can say that the name has a charm,
But among Liyue's middle and upper echelons, this name is too scary.

Whether it is the battle between Tianheng Mountain and the executive officers of the fools,

The battle between Qing Cezhuang and the remnants of the Demon God,
Even Yu Wei who killed the whirlpool later in Guyun Pavilion, Ba Zhu.

People in the middle and high levels have more or less heard of these things,
They all got a name that cannot be offended——Wang Daoyi.

Of course, as one of the four senior students of Tongwen Academy, Yan Ming knew a little more.

For example, the relationship between Wang Daoyi and the old dean.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency Wang Daoyi. I was rude before. If I knew you were here, I should sweep the couch to welcome you."

As he said that, Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, he remembered that Wang Daoyi didn't come to the door normally, but slipped into his room, and it might be impossible to sweep the couch to greet him.

"It seems that you know a lot about me, so I won't talk too much. I want you to cooperate with me on one thing."

Wang Daoyi looked at Yan Ming and said,
After following the four gentlemen all the way, Wang Daoyi basically confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the four gentlemen. They kept the spirit to test the other gentlemen.
Yan Ming's contact with fools is itself a scheme of Mr. Academy.

This also proves that the people chosen by the old dean are not problematic, they are loyal and trustworthy.

However, Wang Daoyi's purpose is not to confirm whether these gentlemen are good or bad, his purpose is to teach fools a lesson.

"You said, I will definitely cooperate." Yan Ming nodded very directly.

Wang Daoyi felt a little uncomfortable. This has changed from preferring death to surrendering to being arrogant and respectful. It feels somewhat disconnected.

"Don't you want to ask me what I want you to do first?" Wang Daoyi asked,
Yan Ming shook his head Fei: "No, you may not know that before the old dean passed away, he told the four of us that in the future, the four of you must support each other in order to preserve the academy. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, go to Find Wang Daoyi, he will help you once.', this is the old dean's last words, so I will not doubt that the old dean is willing to trust you."

Wang Dao frowned, not because he didn't believe Yan Ming's words,

The other party is still unable to lie in front of him, so it means that the last words are true.

But Wang Daoyi never promised to help the academy, where did the old dean get the confidence to say that Wang Daoyi would help once in a while.

After thinking about it, Wang Daoyi finally shook his head slightly,
According to his temperament, if there is a real disaster in the academy and these people beg him, then for the sake of the old dean, he will really help out once.

After one pass, the favor is used up.

From this point of view, the old dean has guessed Wang Daoyi thoroughly.

"Well, if that's the case, then I'm not going to be polite."

"Since your previous plan was to attract the fools, attract the attention of the Seven Stars, and save the academy in the cracks, then the plan is revised now so that you can still contact the fools. This time, we will set up a big trick for the fools. "

"I don't have any objection to that, but Qixing's side." Yan Ming looked at Wang Daoyi, revealing some hesitation in his words.

"Heh, how long has it been since you've lived in the academy for a long time and haven't communicated with Qixing?" Wang Daoyi sneered, and then said, "As long as you stand firm and defend Liyue's interests, Qixing will not make things difficult for you."

"To put it bluntly, the Hall of Rebirth, the Secret Treasury, the alchemist family, and even the major chambers of commerce, there are so many forces that are out of Seven Star's control. Did Seven Star express the intention of completely controlling it?"

"Although contemporary Tianquan is a woman, she is so powerful that even the immortals who don't like her have to admit that you have made a lot of things. In fact, you just need to find Ningguang. Tell Ningguang your position and appeal, and Ningguang will give you a good answer."

Regarding the operation of the gentlemen of the Academy, Wang Daoyi can only say that these people think too much and misjudged Qixing as a party that is not good for the Academy.
In fact, as soon as Wang Dao knew about Ningguang, the other party did have a strong desire for power, but Ningguang's desire for power came from her love for Liyue.

Her pursuit of power is for the development of Liyue, not for dictatorship.

Ningguang sent Ye Lan to investigate the academy, just because she was afraid that there would be problems with the next successor of the academy.
At the same time, they did not receive any friendly information from the academy.

That's why Yelan made the move to investigate the academy.

Therefore, as long as the Academy promises Seven Stars that it is willing to agree with Seven Stars on major issues of right and wrong, it will ensure that the inheritance of culture will not be altered or distorted.

Then, Seven Star wouldn't care who the next dean is.
