After learning that Deng Ming was about to return to Chengdu city, he immediately caused a sensation in the city.

Perhaps because Deng Ming has not been in Chengdu recently, senior officials from western Sichuan governments such as Liu Yao, Liu Jinge, Xiong Lan, and Qin Xiucai were eager to report their achievements to him; the same scholars had not had many opportunities to see the actual ruler of western Sichuan; and those powers were like scholars who had just arrived in Sichuan, and they did not have complete imperial citizenship, so they were even more eager to see the style of this young prince. When they were controlled by the Qing court, Deng Ming's name was well-known, and now they could finally see with their own eyes whether he really had three heads and six arms.

The two factions in the academy also tacitly paused the quarrel and carefully prepared for the homework they wanted to show Deng Ming. Whether it was Meng Zhengfa, Zhu Zhiyu, Hui Shiyang, Gong Yong, these were their first meeting with Deng Ming. Both sides knew very well that it would be no exaggeration to use this opportunity to leave a good impression on Deng Ming, no matter how important it was, it might be possible to decide the victory or defeat of this debate and determine their position in the academy.

"Gong Yong has made a lot of talk these days, scolding Emperor Taizu's saint son and grandson all of them." Meng Zhengfa thought he was sure to win.

The power of Chengdu Academy exceeded that of Meng Zhengfa's imagination before he arrived in Chengdu. During Fengjie, Meng Zhengfa and Zhu Zhiyu once speculated that this academy was similar to the traditional tribute school and was a certification institution that granted students the qualifications to be an official. Deng Ming wanted to train candidate officials who were absolutely loyal to him and had a teacher-student friendship with him through this structure. Wen Anzhi did not deny Meng Zhengfa's speculation, because this was originally the advice he gave to Deng Ming privately. Wen Anzhi did not intend to mention the content of that private conversation again. He thought Deng Ming understood his meaning. This time when Meng Zhengfa and Zhu Zhiyu visited Wen Anzhi, although the old supervisor did not make it clear, he still hinted at Deng Ming's identity as the young Tang King.

Meng Zhengfa and Zhu Zhiyu had long heard that Deng Ming, who held military power, had always acted without any scruples, but before arriving in Chengdu, he would never have thought that it would be so excessive: the chief executives in western Sichuan were appointed and removed by Deng Ming without even saying hello to the court. Now, the King of Jin is the most respectful to the emperor, and the Prince of Yanping will at least take a formality and recommend it to the court when appointing civil and military officials. However, Deng Ming was too lazy to leave such a mockery, and he directly granted positions or fame with a stroke of his pen. The fame and reputation of the scholar was given tens of thousands, and later it was tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands.

In addition, Deng Ming also openly denied the applicability of the emperor's law, and compared himself to the Emperor Taizu of Han in front of generals, subordinates and troops many times. Compared with Wen Anzhi, Zhu Zhiyu and Meng Zhengfa were much less loyal to Yongli. Especially Meng Zhengfa, if Deng Ming did not show similar performance, he would be a little uneasy, worried that the other party would settle his surrender. After experiencing repeated disappointments to the emperor and the court, Zhu Zhiyu was not disgusted with a wise and powerful young royal family who came to compete for leadership. Zhu Zhiyu, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan had a very good relationship. These two princes were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but were far from being loyal to the Emperor Yongli. As for Meng Zhengfa, Wang Fuzhi and other friends were not very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, let alone Yongli.

Although Deng Ming's academy has not awarded tribute students and students' fame, it is only a matter of time before Meng Zhengfa and Zhu Zhiyu estimate that this is only a matter of time. This academy is mainly to educate children. This point is correct. The traitors were originally to train them from an early age. These children eat the free lunch given by Deng Ming, and sometimes they can take some of them back for their younger siblings. Sitting in the classroom built by Deng Ming and learning the textbooks designated by Deng Ming, they will not have any feelings for the Emperor Yongli; after these children get the official fame given by Deng Ming, Meng Zhengfa estimates that these officials can "persuade" Yongli to abdicate.

Going further, Deng Ming's academy also trained professors to try to let these professors popularize universal education, and even teach female students. Meng Zhengfa and Zhu Zhiyu did not expect this in advance, but they thought in their hearts that Deng Ming had made great plans, so his move must have profound meaning.

But no matter what, Deng Ming was a member of the Ming Dynasty, and was highly respected and well-informed Wen Anzhi also hinted that he was the descendant of the King of Tang, so Deng Ming would have to maintain the reputation of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty since the Ming Taizu. Although he did not have Deng Ming's direct ancestors, he could not allow Gong Yan to pour black water. Denying the political achievements of the King of Yan was beneficial to the King of Tang Dynasty robbing ranks and power, but it should be just right. For example, Gong Yan did this, not only was the King of Yan a victim, but the legitimacy of the entire Ming royal family began to be questioned.

Therefore, Meng Zhengfa believed that Deng Ming might have been happy to hear Gong Yan’s remarks at the beginning, but now his goal has been almost achieved, and it is time to stop Gong Yan from continuing to smear the Ming Dynasty.

"Gong Yan burned the God Lord's Card, Hui Shiyang wanted to be a father of the Three Kingdoms." Meng Zhengfa had already figured out the theme of his speech when he saw Deng Ming. Even if Gong Yan had never burned the throne of Deng Ming's ancestors, his remarks were a serious insult to the Ming Dynasty. Maintaining the reputation of the King of Yan may not be a heartfelt wish for Deng Ming, but it would be of great benefit to his reputation.

After these days of debate, Meng Zheng found out that Bai's own Edge is not a match for Gong Yong, but losing to a Jinshi is not a shame to study politics. This kind of debate never depends on the level of level, but only on whether the political direction is correct. Meng Zhengfa has been maintaining the reputation of the Ming Dynasty royal family, which can ensure that he is invincible. As for his previous incident of shaving his hair and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Meng Zhengfa felt that Deng Ming would not pursue it. Through Chen Zuocai, Deng Ming's grand aura could be seen.

Chen Zuocai was the detached emperor of Yongli. At least once, Deng Ming fully trusted him and handed him the key position of academy sacrificial wine. In the eyes of those who are accustomed to official conspiracies, he handed over this position to Chen Zuocai, but the textbooks and lecture content were completely decided by Deng Ming. Deng Ming probably wanted to force Chen Zuocai to resign on his own or gain a reputation of betraying Yongli. In fact, Deng Ming had no interference with Chen Zuocai. In the past, the court would not be so willing to be so obedient to the Imperial College. Deng Ming also endured Chen Zuocai's face - he heard that Deng Ming looked ugly at the time, but whoever was supposed to look good would probably not look good.

The result of all this is that Chen Zuocai, the die-hard loyalty to Yongli, has become suspicious. Although Chen Zuocai has been clamoring that Deng Ming despises scholars, Chen Zuocai will never call Deng Ming a traitor now - although Deng Ming is already Sima Zhao's heart is obvious.

Even if Chen Zuocai can still harden his heart and accuse Deng Ming of being unjust, the people around him may not praise him for his loyalty, but instead think that he is ungrateful and ungrateful. An Yunnan gentry went to join the Emperor of Yongli, and had been running for so many years, following Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Mu Tianbo and others to fight against thieves everywhere. However, Ma Jixiang, the elders of the Ross Pavilion who persuaded Sun Kewang, did not take him seriously at all. How did the emperor repay this loyal scholar? Mr. Qian! Even a gentry in a remote area without fame and fortune would not be given such a position.

If Chen Zuocai scolded Deng Ming for Yongli, then he would have all the righteousness to Yongli's monarch and ministers. But how should Deng Ming calculate his kindness to him? Meng Zhengfa, Zhu Zhiyu privately felt that Chen Zuocai might have one way to do both, that is, after scolding Deng Ming, the usurping thief for the emperor, he would then lay down his sword and punish him for thanking Duke Baoguo for his kindness, otherwise he would be stung by someone.

In my heart, Meng Zhengfa also envied Chen Zuocai's experience. If he had received such favors back then, he would have been embarrassed to shave his head and go home to get married. But there was still time. Meng Zhengfa was a scholar of Longwu, so he would definitely be able to let Deng Minggao take a look.

...

When Meng Zhengfa and Zhu Zhiyu discussed countermeasures, Gong Yong was on the way to find Hui Shiyang. Like his opponent, Gong Yong also thought he was sure to win. If Deng Ming was the third prince of Zhu, then Gong Yong could not think of a reason to tolerate his ancestors scolding him for more than ten generations, let alone burning the Taimiao of their Zhu family, who were the ancestors of the third prince.

Although Deng Ming was not in the city these days, I heard that he was in the 51 Pavilion on the outskirts of the city. If he wanted to stop Gong Yong, a message would be enough. But Gong Yong got accurate information from Liu Jinge, that is, Deng Ming did not ask about this matter at all, and never once.

Now the forces of the camp have controlled Chengdu, Xuzhou, and Kuidong Army have an alliance to respond. If the education direction of the academy is controlled and a large number of officials who are interested in the academy's career will be firmly held in the hands of the academy. The camp was a loss of lack of literati, but this time it will be completely different. Western Sichuan can not only provide troops and materials, but also an academy can continuously produce reliable scholars who have committed suicide. Isn't this the imperial capital? Moreover, the atmosphere of the academy in Sichuan was even more grand than before Gong Yong came. The education targets include agriculture, industry and commerce in western Sichuan. If millions of people were educated to be supported, would they still worry that there would be no civil and military officials available in the future?

"Where is Lao Pingzhang?"

Gong Yong saw a entourage of Hui Shiyang. Gong Yong's entourage was all his old subordinates brought from Shaanxi and fought guerrillas for more than ten years, while Hui Shiyang's entourage was provided by the Kuidong Army.

"Lao Pingzhang is practicing etiquette," replied the follower. They had no scruples when they met privately. All the old names of the past came out: "Please come in, Shangshu."

When academy debates about this issue, Hui Shiyang was not as clear-cut as Gong Yong. In fact, he has always remained neutral and did not show any tendency. Although Gong Yong has been promoting Deng Ming as the King of Chuang, Hui Shiyang still has some doubts about this. As long as Deng Ming's life experience is still a little doubtful, he will not overwhelm the bets. Hui Shiyang has never burned the god-master card of the old Zhu family, and he does not need to give up his strategy of betting on both sides.

Hui Shiyang did not intend to make any extreme remarks when he met tomorrow, and he was determined to kowtow and bow.

When Gong Yan came in, Hui Shiyang's two entourages were holding a large bronze mirror. Lao Pingzhang was kneeling three times and knocking nine times at it, while examining his most subtle movements with a picky look.

"You're here." When Gong Yong came in, Hui Shiyang still saluted to the bronze mirror meticulously and greeted him lightly.

"Thank you for your hard work in the old master." Gong Yong walked behind Hui Shiyang and responded politely.

"I haven't performed rituals for many years, so I can't do it without practicing." Hui Shiyang sighed softly: "You can't be rude tomorrow, so that Meng Zhengfa can pick up the problem."
