"What does it mean? Does Lord Zhang not know? I, Liu Xiangqing, is the magistrate, not the president of Mingzhi Academy. It is already enough to come here today to give Lord Zhang a face. I am busy with official duties, and a small Mingzhi Academy cannot put too much energy into it. Let's do this..." He suddenly shouted: "Come, send me the plaque."

At the door, two big men walked quickly with a plaque, with four golden words on it: "Indifferent and clear ambitions"

"Now Lord Zhang is old, so don't worry about these things anymore. Please accept this plaque, which is considered a gratitude to me."

Liu Xiangqing waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's thank Lord Zhang for his contribution to Dunyi over the years."

More than a dozen officials bowed and bowed.

"Thank you Lord Zhang for your contribution."

Zhang Yizhi's body was trembling slightly. The golden plaque fell into his eyes, like a thorn, and the sound of gratitude came from his ears tinged his nerves.

Liu Xiangqing's words are obscure, but he has already made his position clear.

This is all I can do. In the future, Zhang Yizhi will stop meddling in these matters. It will give you enough face to erect a plaque.

"Take me away your plaque and don't taint my eyes." Zhang Yizhi finally couldn't help but shout loudly: "You will leave, and I will take care of this Mingzhi Academy in the future."

Faced with Zhang Yizhi's anger, Liu Xiangqing still had a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhang, this Mingzhi Academy has nothing to do with you. Don't forget that when you donated, you said it clearly and left it to the magistrate of Dunyi County to supervise it by our Nanlin. Now we have spent decades to build the academy into a first-class institution. You are clearly here to seize the credit."

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Yizhi was extremely angry. He laughed instead of angry at this time. Looking at the group of local officials in front of him who did not take him seriously, he laughed: "Mr. Liu is indeed very verbal, and I am indeed no longer a court official. But you all seem to have forgotten a little. Although Mingzhi Academy is under Dunyi and supervised by Nanlin, who owns the files of the Ministry of Rites? I have never given up on this ownership for so many years, right?"

As he said that, Zhang Yizhi suddenly took out a document with a big red seal from his arms and threw it on the ground.

"Everyone, take your things with you and leave. From tomorrow on, Mingzhi Academy has no relationship with you anymore." Zhang Yizhi said in a deep voice.

More than a dozen officials' expressions changed drastically in an instant.

Now Mingzhi Academy is the No. 1 Academy in Nanlin, and their descendants are also studying here. If they are really taken back, their losses will be great.

Liu Xiangqing obviously did not expect that Zhang Yizhi was prepared and had a bad face. This could be related to the income of more than 100,000 taels a year.

"Mr. Zhang, I will stay on the front line in everything and I want to see you in the future."

"Stay a line? Hahaha, it's also a blessing that you can say such things. Fortunately, I am not in Kyoto now, otherwise just what I did just now, you, the governor, should be exiled to the frontier and exiled for thousands of miles." Zhang Yizhi stood up, glanced at them, and had no intention of saying anything else.

"Get out!"

Liu Xiangqing's eyes were slightly cold. Facing the gaze of more than a dozen colleagues, he winked, turned around and left.

He was the only one left in Mingzhi Academy.

"It's outrageous, it's outrageous!" Zhang Yizhi slapped the chair of the Grand Master and finally couldn't help but vent.

Lu Gong floated out of the corner and landed beside him. "Don't be angry, Mr. Zhang."

"How can I not be angry? My decades of hard work have completely become their tool for making money. When I was in court, I was like this, which shows that these people did not take the law seriously at all."

"What should we do next?" Lu Gong asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yizhi calmed down.

"I still have some savings. I should be able to maintain it with a few teachers, and I myself should be able to maintain it. Everything is already in place, so we don't need to add it." Zhang Yizhi thought for a while, turned to look at Lu Gong and said, "Lu Gong, thank you for accompanying me all the way. I will continue to trouble you for the next thing."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will do my best." Lu Gong said seriously.

Zhang Yizhi is now alone and is no longer the prime minister of the dynasty. It is even more difficult to gain a foothold here, and he may be targeted soon.

The old man settled down and closed the door of the academy. The next morning, he got up early and packed up, and prepared to go to various households and lobby local children to come to school.

Lu Gong followed closely behind, watching from a distance, trying his best to ensure his safety.

The old man went from house to house and walked for a long time, but the heroic spirit on his face gradually disappeared.

At noon, he sat tiredly on the side of the road, leaning against Lu Gong, and sighed: "This world is really too difficult."

Lu Gong had already realized what was going on.

The image of Mingzhi Academy has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Zhang Yizhi was naturally regarded as a liar when he rashly asked the children of ordinary families to study.

"I can finally understand why Changshou is willing to join the army and is not willing to study anymore. The path of literati is almost broken for ordinary children." Zhang Yizhi sighed long.

Half a day of lobbying has exhausted him.

"Didn't there be any?" Lu Gong was a little surprised.

Zhang Yizhi shook his head helplessly and stood up: "Let's go! It seems that he has to think of another way."

He reached out and patted Lu Gong, turned around and headed towards the academy.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the academy, he suddenly became stunned.

The gate of the academy had been closed again, and the sound of Lang Lang reading came from inside, drilling into their ears.

If it weren't for the extra row of soldiers at the entrance of the academy, Lu Gong would almost doubt that everything that happened last night would be a dream.

Zhang Yizhi had already rushed over subconsciously and was about to walk into the academy.

Two soldiers stopped him.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yizhi was furious.

"We received a report that someone attempted to destroy Mingzhi Academy and influence the students inside. From today on, all the idle people are not allowed to approach and go away!" The soldier waved the spear in his hand and drove Zhang Yizhi away.

"I am Zhang Yizhi, you can get out of here." Zhang Yizhi grabbed the spear and said loudly.

The soldier shook, pushed him away, and glared: "I don't care who you are, and I'm not allowed to approach the academy, otherwise I will be arrested."

Another soldier rushed over and aimed his spear in his hand at Zhang Yizhi without hesitation.

Obviously, if he dares to move around again, they will really take action.

"How could this happen..." Zhang Yizhi was at a loss, looked at the gate of the academy from afar, and murmured.
Chapter completed!
