Chapter 236: Su Dishi's Method of Protecting His Faults
When Ye Tang woke up, it was already noon. If she hadn't been hungry, she would have wanted to sleep a little longer.
In addition to the sister Lu Taohua, there were eight maids arranged by Luo Shun serving Ye Tang in the palace. Among them, there were two first-class maids, Cuiying and Xueya.
Xueya is good at doing hair buns, such as the Lingxu bun, the lily bun, the double knife bun... No matter how complicated the hairstyle is, she can complete it easily without hurting Ye Tang's hair at all.
While Xueya was doing Ye Tang's hair, Taohua was telling Ye Tang what happened in the capital today.
"A new pastry shop has opened on Zhuangyuan Street in the east. It's a branch of Lu Ji. There was a disturbance at Yimin Clinic this morning, but it was quickly dealt with by the clinic..." She finished her speech and mentioned the Qiao family: "Princess, there are rumors outside that the Qiao family was robbed. The police were notified, but the thief has not been caught yet."
"I don't know who that thief is, but he really did a great thing for the people!"
Taohua knew that the Qiao family bullied Ye Pingan. Gensheng was seriously injured because of this incident and has not fully recovered yet!
The Qiao family deserves death!
Dressing is complete.
Jamel Xiao was still sleeping.
Ye Tang asked someone to bring lunch into the room.
The aroma of food was trying hard to get into Jamel Xiao’s nose.
Jamel Xiao got up in a daze, followed the fragrance and climbed out of bed, walked to the table with his eyes closed, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Eating with eyes closed is really something special.
After eating and drinking, Jamel Xiao returned to bed in a daze, pulled the quilt around him, wrapped himself like a caterpillar, and fell asleep again.
Ye Tang ignored him and went straight to Lanxinyuan.
Su Yinghuai is here.
He already knew about Ye Ping'an.
"Are you safe?" Su Yinghuai asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
Ye Tang sat down and said to him, "I'm not injured, but I was quite frightened. I was depressed for a long time yesterday. Today, I should be much better. I'm with my grandfather now."
Su Yinghuai snorted: "Your grandfather is being a rogue again. It's noon, but he hasn't come back yet. He is deliberately delaying the class!"
He said, and waved his hand again: "Forget it, for Ping An's sake, I won't bother with him today, let them play as they please!"
He could see that among the four students, Ye Tang was the most studious, Xiao Jingxuan was the most talented but unfortunately too lazy, Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an were not good at studying but they were very enthusiastic in learning military tactics and could draw inferences from one example, so they had the potential to be generals.
He is truly worthy of being Shangguan Zhenhua’s offspring.
Su Yinghuai said sternly: "Princess, you should have informed me of Ping An's situation as soon as possible. He is my student."
Anyone who bullies his students is bullying him.
Ye Tang replied: "It happened too suddenly, so I was unable to inform you in time, and we have already solved the problem of Ping An."
Su Yinghuai: "Now that the problem is solved, will you exclude me from it?"
Ye Tang: "...I won't do that next time."
"There won't be a next time. Since I'm your teacher, I have to protect you. How did you solve this matter?"
Ye Tang told the story of Qiao Yuliang's death and the Qiao family's compensation of three million taels of silver.
"The teacher won't blame us for asking for too much, right?" Ye Tang asked cautiously.
Su Yinghuai rolled his eyes at her and said, "You want to offset the injustice my students have suffered with the death of a bastard and a few million taels of silver? It's not that easy. You're asking for too little!"
"Well, with your brains, you can only ask for this much compensation. You don't need to worry about what happens next. I'm here to add fuel to the fire. The Qiao family is living too comfortably. They really think they are invincible just because they are rich enough to rival a country. What lawless profiteers!"
Ye Tang didn't expect Su Yinghuai to be so angry. She thought they were just his students, ordinary students, not a real family. But he didn't seem to treat them as ordinary students, but as a family.
Once you become his student, you are his child. Once a teacher, always a father. As a teacher, you must make decisions for your own children.
Yuanqi Academy.
At noon, a big incident happened in the academy. Five students of the Qiao family were expelled from the academy. The reason was that these students did not respect their teachers, made trouble in class, interrupted the teacher, refused to correct their mistakes, held a grudge because they were punished by the teacher to stand, and secretly found someone to beat the teacher, stole other people's poems, cheated in exams, etc.
Every single one of these things was considered as absurd behavior and was condemned by scholars.
In addition to the students, the academy also expelled two teachers, both of whom were members of the Qiao family. Their crimes were announced in front of all the teachers and students in the academy.
The two teachers took advantage of their power to bully their students, bully men and women behind their backs, and even kept mistresses, allowing their illegitimate sons to bully their wives and sons.
Yuanqi Academy has many rules and is quite strict for teachers and students. No matter what their status is, they must abide by the rules and regulations of the academy. A teacher must set an example and have a proper lifestyle before he can teach and educate people. Otherwise, he will mislead the students.
A teacher who can't even manage the rear quarters is not worthy of staying in Yuanqi Academy.
The news that the Qiao family's students and teacher were expelled was spread intentionally by someone unknown, but it spread throughout the capital in less than half an hour.
At the same time, Emperor Yuanwu also received six memorials impeaching officials of the Qiao family.
The Yuan Dynasty allowed merchants to take part in imperial examinations, and as long as they were capable, they could serve as officials in the court.
The Qiao family was good at business, but they didn't have many sons and daughters who were good at studying. Over the years, only three of them had entered the court as officials, and they were all minor officials. The most successful one was only the right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, and that was only because the Qiao family spent money to ask Gao Yi to help promote him.
Now these three Qiao family officials who have made no achievements have all been impeached.
The more Emperor Yuanwu read the memorial, the angrier he became. These three officials of the Qiao family were all just there to do nothing. They had been in office for nearly ten years, but they had done very little real work. Instead, they did a lot of sneaky things and even resold official positions.
Outrageous!
"I clearly said that it is forbidden to resell official positions, but this Right Minister Qiao dared to be so bold and presumptuous."
"Investigate, thoroughly investigate this bastard who disregards the law!"
All three officials of the Qiao family were investigated and punished.
Emperor Yuanwu carefully examined the six memorials and then realized that the six ministers who impeached the officials of the Qiao family were all from Yuanqi Academy and had been instructed by the imperial teacher.
Emperor Yuanwu guessed something and sent people to investigate, only then did he find out what had happened to Ye Ping'an.
"Teacher, is this revenge for your own students?"
The Imperial Preceptor seems gentle and lenient towards others, but in fact he is narrow-minded and protective of his own people.
Since he accepted Ye Ping'an as his student, he would naturally protect him.
Emperor Yuanwu smiled and thought of the time when he and Nangong Yanchu became apprentices. At that time, they often got into trouble outside. Although the imperial teacher blamed them, he also solved a lot of problems for them.
"I'm afraid these are not the only ways the teacher protects his students."
