Super God: Rise of Civilization.

You, Ouyang Xiu, are you a teacher who educates people?

Your face practically screams, "I'm a war maniac, come and fight me if you're a brother."

Ouyang Xiu glared at the old geezer and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, there are only three days left before the start of the new semester for all the universities in the empire. Is it inappropriate to change commanders at this time?"

"Are you trying to bargain with me?"

Yang Yu looked up at Ouyang Xiu, his dignified gaze falling upon him.

"I dare not, but I am a teacher and am not suited to manage public order!"

Ouyang Xiu had a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, I think it's a waste of the Minister of Education's talents to transfer him to the Ministry of Public Security."

"Why not transfer Education Minister Ouyang Xiu to the Tenth Combined Fleet as its commander?"

Justice Minister Ye Li's eyes flickered as she spoke.

If we can remove Ouyang Xiu from the center of imperial power, that would be the best thing.

"This humble general believes it is feasible."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi, who was standing calmly to the side, nodded slightly.

That's a good suggestion.

It's a pity that Ouyang Xiu didn't go to war.

He's the one who's always complaining about insufficient firepower, claiming that weapon range is justice, and that warship speed is territory.

"You, you all..."

Chapter 239 [Child Rearing]

Ouyang Xiuren was completely numb.

Those bastards.

You guys killed Sterling Burroughs, fine.

I have no grudge against you.

I'm one of them.

"The imperial decree has been issued; do you think you can simply retract it?"

The secretary-general's cold gaze fell on Ouyang Xiu.

Who do you think you are?

How dare you bargain with His Majesty the Emperor here?

Ignoring the Emperor's decree.

Do you want to die?

Yang Yu raised his hand to stop the secretary-general, saying, "The handover of work should be expedited. Delaying the handover will affect the start of the new semester for the empire's major universities..."

"promise."

Upon hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, Ouyang Xiu dared not continue shouting.

If he really delays the start of the new semester for all the major universities in the empire, there's no one Ouyang Xiu can save.

It could even implicate one's own family.

"Your Majesty, I propose that private schools be abolished and the plan to establish schools by private individuals be withdrawn."

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Gong Yao, quickly adapted to his role, truly embodying the spirit of a new broom sweeping clean.

The first fire spread to private schools.

"Are you crazy?"

Ouyang Xiu looked at the Minister of Education, Gong Yao, who had just handed over her duties in the cabinet, in disbelief. "Are you brainless?"

Do you know how many people's interests you've infringed upon?

The other ministers frowned, wondering if Gong Yao had gone mad.

Only Bai Qi and Long Zhi had a hint of relief and appreciation in their eyes. They just wondered if Bai Qi could withstand the pressure from those people.

"continue."

Yang Yu did not interrupt her, but put down his work and looked at Gong Yao.

"How many years have private schools existed in the empire?"

"From the birth of the empire to the present day, private schools have occupied at least 6,100 years of history."

"High tuition fees and excellent faculty have led to a shortage of teachers in many of the Empire's public institutions..."

Next up was a solo performance by Gong Yao, the newly appointed Minister of Education of the Empire.

A powerful and resounding voice echoed in the imperial study.

As Education Minister Gong Yao recounted his story, many ministers remained silent, listening attentively while also secretly observing the Emperor's expression.

"In conclusion, is it fair to the imperial public schools that private schools are attracting a large number of gifted students and a large number of faculty members?"

“If things continue like this, it will not be a good thing for the empire.”

"Furthermore, according to the latest survey, 60 percent of the students at Teito University come from private schools."

"More than 50% of the graduates end up working for the companies behind those private schools or returning to work at those private schools. What are their intentions?"

Gong Yao said in a deep voice.

The words were spoken.

Everyone fell silent, their gazes involuntarily falling on former Education Minister Ouyang Xiu.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I swear, I have absolutely no selfish motives in supporting private schools. I have always maintained impartiality."

"Besides, these are all personal actions, and the empire can't force others to do it."

Ouyang Xiu felt a chill run down her spine.

I was just transferred to the position of Minister of Public Security, and you're already targeting me?

What hatred, what resentment?

Yang Yu glanced at Ouyang Xiu and said, "You should discuss the education issue with the Prime Minister!"

"I'm waiting to retire."

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had given no further instructions, the ministers quickly withdrew from the Imperial Study.

Yang Yu picked up a document from the table and said, "The new broom sweeps clean, and the first thing he does is target private schools. What do you think?"

The secretary-general did not speak.

This is not something she can discuss.

Although he is the secretary-general, there are some things he shouldn't say, so he shouldn't say them.

"If it's deformed, then let it step off the stage of imperial history."

Yang Yu murmured softly.

Private schools have been expanding in recent years, and many of the companies behind them have also expanded as a result.

Gradually moving towards the direction of capital.

This is especially true for private schools.

In that case, let it step off the stage of the empire.

"Didn't I ask you to show her around the Imperial Palace?"

Suddenly, Yang Yu seemed to remember something.

"Your Majesty, Consort Zhao said she wants to learn about it herself and doesn't need me to accompany her," the secretary-general quickly said.

It's not that I'm unwilling to show Consort Zhao around the Imperial Palace, but rather that Consort Zhao wants to explore it on her own.

……

night.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As Yang Yu watched Wu Zhao walk in from outside the main hall, dressed in a wedding gown and embodying the spirit of Yu Luo, he couldn't help but recall the documents Long Yuan had given him in the Imperial Study earlier.

Wu Zhao is truly a master...

They have never been in a romantic relationship or had any intimate contact with the opposite sex.

"What do you want to do?"

He looked at Wu Zhao, who was dressed in a wedding gown, with a strange expression. "Why are you still wearing a wedding gown?"

In this regard.

She did not answer, but instead, dressed in a red wedding gown, danced gracefully inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Meanwhile, Long Yuan, who was hiding in the shadows of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, left the hall immediately and stopped paying attention to the situation there.

As graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming.

Graceful dance moves, delicate steps.

It's truly a feast for the eyes.

The dance ended there.

Wu Zhao bowed slightly and said, "I did not perform a dance for Your Majesty last night, please forgive me."

After listening.

Yang Yu then remembered that when Lieyang's daughters got married, they would dance for their husbands on their wedding night, offering their most beautiful moments to their husbands. (Purely fictional)

This is a dance piece dedicated only to her husband.

"If there's nothing else, you should go back and rest! I'm tired too."
