(I made a mistake again. Xue Baoqin should be called Xue Yejin … nicknamed Brother Jin. I don't know what I was thinking when I was writing that chapter the day before yesterday. Yesterday, when I followed up, I felt that there might be a problem, so I flipped to the front, but I didn't find it. Then, when I was writing, the leader looked at me and said that this name, tsk tsk … really. I asked her, "Is there anyone who doesn't like Xue Baoqin?" Thanks to Book Friend, Young Master Shi and the 72 Cups of Wine for the correction. I changed it very quickly yesterday. I hope everyone didn't see it …)
…
…
"I was the one who allowed this instructor and those students to return."
"He also reported to me about the Xue family's child."
"If there's a mistake, it's my fault. Please forgive me, Lord Zong."
After hearing these three sentences, the way Chen Changsheng looked at the bishop named Mei Chuan changed a little.
Bishop Mei Chuan's manner of speaking was very gentle. His bearing was very elegant and his etiquette was perfect. Even though the person he was talking to was Chen Changsheng, he still gave off a feeling that he was neither servile nor overbearing.
Chen Chang Sheng felt that this person had a familiar feeling, but the most important question was – when did the Tradition Academy have a professor?
Su Mo Yu said, "You are the Education Overseer. Why is it that when a teacher condones those students to commit evil, not only do you not punish them, but you also protect them?"
Mei Chuan calmly said, "The Orthodox Academy is a holy ground. How could the son of a sinner be blasphemed? I'm doing this for the sake of the academy. "
Chen Changsheng looked at Bishop Mei Chuan. The sense of familiarity was becoming more and more obvious.
Bishop Mei Chuan smiled and prepared to continue explaining his thoughts.
He seemed very calm, but he was actually rather nervous. After all, his actions were highly likely to offend the Pope.
More importantly, he was prepared to use this matter and the words that followed, as well as the relationship between the two of them, to obtain more benefits.
Unfortunately, Chen Chang Sheng didn't give him the chance to continue.
Chen Chang Sheng had a faint feeling that if he were to continue talking with the other, he would end up with a result that he was unwilling to accept.
In other words, before Bishop Mei Chuan took the initiative to show up, he had already prepared the process and rhythm of the conversation.
The people who were best at interrupting the rhythm and process of a conversation were usually the unreasonable and unruly people.
Chen Chang Sheng couldn't do it, but the Tradition Academy never lacked such people.
He turned to Su Mo Yu and asked, "Where is he?"
Su Mo Yu pointed to the back and said, "I drank too much last night and slept in there."
"Wake him up." Chen Chang Sheng said, "If I remember correctly, this is something that the supervisor should be in charge of."
The superintendent of the Tradition Academy was Tang Thirty Six.
When it came to being unreasonable, no one was better than him at it. Who asked him to be so rich?
Tang Thirty Six rubbed his eyes and walked into the room in his pajamas. After listening to Su Mo Yu's simple description, he yawned.
He then looked at the teacher who had allowed the students to beat and humiliate Xue Yejin and said, "Scram."
His voice was not very loud. Of course, it did not sound like thunder, but it was very crisp, like a radish that had been soaked in water for an entire night being bitten in half.
The instructor immediately broke out in a sweat. He looked at Bishop Mei Chuan and did not dare delay any further. He quickly retreated.
Three years ago, he had been an instructor in the Orthodox Academy and was well aware of the temperament of this academy superintendent.
If he did not hurry up and leave, then roll out of the Orthodox Academy, then he might never have the chance to roll out in this lifetime.
Mei Chuan slightly arched his brows, apparently not expecting this young master of the Tang clan to have such prestige in the Orthodox Academy.
Tang Thirty Six looked at him.
Mei Chuan had already mentally prepared himself. When the other opened his mouth to tell him to scram, he knew how to smile so that he would not care.
But Tang Thirty Six did not say this word, instead asking, "Who are you?"
Mei Chuan stared blankly for a long while before responding, saying, "I am the education overseer of the Orthodox Academy."
Tang Thirty Six asked, "When did the Orthodox Academy have an education overseer that I didn't even know about?"
To be sent by the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education to such an important place as the Orthodox Academy as an education overseer, Mei Chuan's background was naturally unusual.
So Tang Thirty Six was not prepared to ask about his background, nor was he prepared to give him a chance to say anything.
This was precisely why Chen Changsheng had him appear.
But Mei Chuan's reaction was faster than expected.
He ignored Tang Thirty Six, turning to Chen Changsheng and saying, "The deceased Archbishop Mei Li Sha is my uncle."
So he was Mei Li Sha's nephew.
As expected.
Chen Changsheng's conjecture had been verified, so he naturally understood why Su Mo Yu was in such a difficult situation.
The entire continent knew of Mei Li Sha's relationship with him and the Orthodox Academy.
The room was quiet for a very long time.
"I only want to ask one question."
Tang Thirty Six looked at Mei Chuan and asked, "Why did you agree to let those teachers and students return?"
Mei Chuan's expression did not change as he calmly replied, "The decisions of the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education must comply with His Majesty's decree."
This question was not wrong.
The Orthodox Academy was one of the Six Ivies and was under the direct jurisdiction of the Li Palace, but it was still in the capital, on the territory of the Great Zhou.
The problem was that everyone knew that this could not be the emperor's decree. It could only be Shang Xingzhou's will.
"I understand."
Tang Thirty Six also appeared very calm. He said to Mei Chuan, "Could I trouble Sir to temporarily leave so that we can discuss things?"
Mei Chuan smiled. "Of course."
After saying this, he bowed to Chen Chang Sheng and retreated from the room.
The room once more fell silent for a very long time.
Tang Thirty Six looked at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng said nothing.
Mo Yu had not mentioned these matters in her letter, as she was not a member of the Orthodoxy, so it was impossible for her to know of the undercurrents hidden beneath the surface.
But they all knew very well that the problem lay in the Bureau of Traditional Education.
The Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education managed the Five Ivies and was the most important Sacred Hall of the Li Palace. It had an extremely special status in the Orthodoxy.
Mei Lisha and Mao Qiu Yu were the two archbishops with the highest status and the most seniority.
The Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education had always been within the sphere of influence of the Orthodoxy's conservative faction. It had been at odds with the Orthodoxy's new faction, represented by Linghai Zhiwang and Daoist Siyuan, for many years.
In the process of the Orthodox Academy's rebirth, the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education and the late Archbishop Mei Lisha played an extremely important role.
In the eyes of a normal person, the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education should act as it did in the past, supporting the Orthodox Academy, supporting Chen Changsheng who had already become the Pope.
But Chen Chang Sheng knew this wasn't the case.
The reason the conservative faction of the Orthodoxy had supported the Orthodox Academy was not because of him, but because of his teacher.
In other words, they had always been supporting his teacher.
To them, the Tradition Academy had never belonged to Chen Chang Sheng, and it definitely didn't belong to youngsters like Tang Thirty Six.
From start to finish, the Orthodox Academy should have belonged to Shang Xingzhou, to those old friends who had died for the faith.
In the three years that Chen Changsheng had been away from the capital, the Li Palace had sealed off the Opening Array, making it rather difficult for anyone to extend a hand into it.
But the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education was outside the Li Palace, and under Shang Xingzhou's prestige and methods, the conservative faction of the Orthodoxy was gaining more and more control over the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education.
They naturally wanted to wrest back control of the Orthodox Academy, or at the very least, they wanted to regain enough influence.
It was already rather difficult for Su Moyu to last until now.
Tang Thirty Six looked at Su Moyu and asked, "Principal Mao?"
This was the problem he was most worried about.
Su Moyu replied, "Principal Mao has been in seclusion for a long time. These matters should have nothing to do with him."
Both Tang Thirty Six and Chen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief at this answer.
But the problem facing the Orthodox Academy was still very difficult to resolve.
The Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education, or perhaps Shang Xingzhou, was very shrewd and ruthless. The person they had chosen was very thorny.
Not even Tang Thirty Six could tell him to scram.
After all, Mei Chuan was Mei Lisha's relative.
Tang Thirty Six looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "But this is the Orthodox Academy."
Chen Changsheng was quiet for a very long time, then replied, "Yes."
Tang Thirty Six said, "I didn't tell him to scram because I knew that it was meaningless."
Chen Changsheng fell silent again, then replied, "Yes."
Tang Thirty Six turned and walked out of the room.
Su Moyu vaguely guessed at what Tang Thirty Six was preparing to do. His expression suddenly changed as he stood up, preparing to stop him.
But Chen Changsheng said nothing more.
Su Moyu's voice trembled as he asked, "Is there a need for this?"
