Chapter 223: Lu Yuan's teachings are vulgar!! This won't do
Yan Shijin looked at this empty classroom and felt a bit dazed.
Although, he still has a few disciples.
But as a Three Senior Minister, Yan Shijin basically, whenever he gave a lecture, this classroom was always overcrowded.
The classroom couldn't hold them, and people were hanging on the windows and trees.
Whether it was Premier Yan Chonghui or the Vice Premier... uh... the previous Vice Premier, Kang Linfei's disciples, they would all come along.
After all, each of the Three Senior Ministers comes only once a month.
So, the students of the Guozijian, no matter whose disciples they are, as long as the Three Senior Ministers come to lecture, the disciples of the other two will also be present.
But today, attendance dropped by half.
Yan Shijin really encountered this situation for the first time.
Recently, is there some celebration, holiday, or something, that the students all went home??
Yan Shijin stood at the lectern, while organizing his teaching materials in his hand, and asked:
"Recently, is there some celebration or holiday, or is it the busy farming season, that everyone has gone home?"
Immediately, a student said:
"Qingbei Daxue has opened, and these past few days, many students are at Qingbei Daxue.
"One can freely enter Qingbei Daxue."
Huh?
Yan Shijin slightly furrowed his brows.
Yan Shijin knew about this matter of Qingbei Daxue.
Although, the Emperor's establishment of Qingbei Daxue bypassed the Cabinet and was directly issued to the Ministry of Rites; the specific details were unknown to Yan Shijin.
But Yan Shijin also knew a few minor details, as if it was that kid Lu Yuan who ran the school.
As for the rest, Yan Shijin wasn't clear about it.
After all, before Lu Yuan's Qingbei Daxue opened, not to mention outsiders, even the students of Qingbei Daxue didn't know what they came here to study.
Yan Shijin was even less clear.
This Qingbei Daxue only started lectures yesterday afternoon, and Yan Shijin today also wasn't clear about it.
One could also say... from the beginning, Yan Shijin, or rather the Cabinet, didn't take it seriously.
After all, that kid Lu Yuan is only twenty years old—what kind of school could he run?
What could he possibly teach?
It just feels like the Emperor is indulging this kid, letting him run wild.
But...
Looking at it this way...
It seems not quite right...
That kid... didn't he just lecture yesterday afternoon and this morning for two hours?
How come...
Half of the people at the Guozijian are gone...
Yan Shijin looked at his classroom; besides his own disciples, there were only a few scattered disciples of Yan Chonghui and Kang Linfei.
Where did everyone else go?
What the heck is that kid up to!!
Yan Shijin couldn't figure it out, but it wasn't appropriate to openly inquire.
After all...
As a Vice Premier giving a lecture, he actually had half his students snatched away by that twenty-year-old Lu Yuan.
This already looks bad on his face.
If he were to inquire about this and that, then...
That would really be bad.
This matter can only be investigated privately; for now...
Let's start the class.
After Yan Shijin organized his teaching materials for today, he cleared his throat and said:
"Class is in session."
"..."
Over at Qingbei Daxue, Gu Qingwan leaned against the window.
With her hands on the windowsill, her delicate chin resting on her arm, she gazed warmly at Lu Yuan, who was speaking passionately on the podium.
"Your Majesty, today Premier Yan Shijin is giving a lecture."
As Gu Qingwan was utterly absorbed in her gaze, a voice came from behind—the Grand Eunuch.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the Grand Eunuch's voice, Gu Qingwan blinked, her delicate chin lifting from her arm—just for a moment.
Gu Qingwan's lips curled into a strange smile.
Then she again placed her delicate chin on her arm, looking toward the distant Lu Yuan, and Gu Qingwan chuckled:
"That old fellow seeing his classroom half-empty, I don't know what funny expression he made; I, the Emperor, didn't see it myself—what a pity."
The Grand Eunuch behind her also laughed along:
"Your Majesty, the Azure Guard reported, saying that Premier Yan Shijin's expression at that time was very unpleasant, and he kept glancing toward Qingbei Daxue from time to time."
Upon hearing the Grand Eunuch's words, Gu Qingwan's lips curved into a perfect arc, and she then softly hummed:
This matter has only just begun; no matter how you say it, Yan Shijin's own disciples have actually returned.
I actually want to see what expression they'll have when, later on, these old fogies discover that none of their disciples return.
The senior eunuch behind him hurriedly put on an apologetic smile and said:
Yes, given Lord Lu's eloquence, speaking of this matter, it seems it won't take many days before this situation arises.
A faint smile appeared on Gu Qingwan's face, and then she said:
By then, you must assign the Heaven‑holding Guard to keep an eye on them for me; I want to have their expressions painted down for me to see!
Seeing that Gu Qingwan was in a good mood, the senior eunuch also hurriedly agreed and uttered auspicious words.
Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan in the distance, then glanced at the Guozijian students who were listening entranced, and couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes.
First, Gu Qingwan knew that Lu Yuan had come to run a school, and certainly not to steal the cabinet's disciples.
But this accidental turn of events dealt the cabinet a heavy blow.
Before this, because the cabinet's disciples were always restrained by the cabinet when they acted.
But now…
Those three old fogies' good days…
are probably coming to an end…
……
Meanwhile, over at the Guozijian,
Yan Shijin was finding it hard to continue teaching.
Leaving aside other matters, Yan Shijin himself was feeling a bit unsettled.
You say, things were fine, but suddenly I lost half of my students.
Who could keep their composure in this!
More importantly, how could Yan Shijin not understand what the three of them rely on to oppose the emperor?
Today, suddenly half of the students are gone.
Although… my disciples have come back.
But the problem is, if today it were Yan Chonghui coming, or Kang Linfei coming.
Then their disciples would also come back, but similarly, my disciples would likely have a large half going to Qingbei Daxue.
Although, everyone can still summon one's disciples.
But this situation is always a bad omen.
Besides this, Yan Shijin also discovered a problem.
That is……
My disciples……
They have come back……
The people have come back, but their spirits are feisty.
These people aren't really paying attention in class now; they often zone out.
Yan Shijin could tell with his heels where his disciples' spirits have gone.
They're definitely still over at Qingbei Daxue and haven't come back!
Even the disciples listening to my lectures aren't paying attention, and what I lecture on isn't interesting either.
Most importantly……
There's a huge commotion over at Qingbei Daxue!!
They've been shouting over there all the time.
Although I can't make out what they're saying, it's just a rumbling sound.
But it's exactly that rumbling sound that is the most irritating.
After more than half an hour, Yan Shijin threw down the book in his hand and stopped lecturing!
Yan Shijin actually wanted to go see and hear what this twenty‑something‑year‑old Lu Yuan was lecturing about.
He actually managed to drag half of the Guozijian people over!!
Moreover…… why are you shouting so loudly!!
Afterward, Yan Shijin grew angrier the more he thought, and he turned and stormed out.
The students in the classroom were a bit dazed, but after coming to their senses, everyone immediately got up and followed.
Afterward, Yan Shijin led the way in front, with his students behind him.
The Guozijian is very close to Qingbei Daxue; Yan Shijin went out the gate, crossed the street, and arrived at the Qingbei Daxue side.
At this moment, Lu Yuan's voice also gradually became clear.
Just as Yan Shijin was about to listen carefully to what Lu Yuan was lecturing on,
On the other side of the wall, inside Qingbei Daxue, there was a burst of laughter.
I don't know what Lu Yuan was talking about.
How did it make everyone laugh?
But Yan Shijin couldn't help but frown repeatedly.
Is this a lecture??
How is it like holding a tea party, or like storytelling under a bridge?
So improper?
And still be so boisterous??
What on earth is this for??
With a head full of question marks, Yan Shijin arrived at the gate of Qingbei University.
As Lu Yuan previously said, Qingbei University is in the form of open lectures.
Anyone can come in to listen.
If you're willing to come, it doesn't matter whether you're a student of the Guozijian or of Qingbei University—either is fine.
Even if you're a commoner, as long as you don't delay your work or anything, you can come in to listen— that's fine too!
Of course, the main reason is that Qingbei University's basic facilities are still not completed.
There isn't even an iron gate at the entrance.
Once Qingbei University is fully built later, naturally there will still be some rules.
Seeing Yan Shijin leading people in, Lu Yuan, standing on the podium, naturally noticed.
Lu Yuan isn't blind; if several hundred people suddenly rushed in and he didn't see them, that would be strange.
However, Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered to deal with Yan Shijin and continued his lecture.
Meanwhile, in the small room, Gu Qingwan watched the crowd entering the gate, especially noting Yan Shijin leading them.
A hint of a playful smile appeared on Gu Qingwan's face.
Yo, you can't hold back anymore, you also want to come take a look?
But, it's not something you can just watch if you want to!!
Immediately, Gu Qingwan went from leaning on the windowsill to leaning back against the chair behind her.
Her beautiful legs crossed, one beautiful foot lightly swinging the tip of her high-heeled shoe, she said with a playful expression:
"Drive him away."
The chief eunuch was taken aback, then hastily bowed and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Just as the chief eunuch was about to leave, Gu Qingwan directly said:
"Wait, you do it like this."
"Huh?"
The chief eunuch was startled, then hurriedly bent down to listen.
……
At this moment, Yan Shijin was already standing at the doorway, beginning to listen.
No need to go inside; beyond this gate is the drill field, and in front of Lu Yuan there is also a large loudspeaker.
Now whatever Lu Yuan says, Yan Shijin hears it crystal clear.
Meanwhile, after Lu Yuan finished explaining a segment,
he took a sip of water steeped with sterculia seed, waited for his assistant to bring up a basin of boiling water, then continued:
"Next, I'd like to ask everyone something— is there anyone who dares to urinate into this basin of boiling water!!"
Lu Yuan said this while also making a gesture as if to undo his belt.
The students of Qingbei University include not only males but also females, though their proportion is very small.
After all, I'll say something some people don't like to hear.
In the vast majority of professions, the topmost, most outstanding individuals are mostly male.
Even on Earth, the most eminent gynecologists are overwhelmingly male.
The Qingbei University run by Lu Yuan is truly not biased toward males; it's entirely based on ability, so there's no need to harp on gender equality here.
At this moment, the female students of the school, feeling shy, immediately covered their faces, peeking at Lu Yuan through the gaps between their fingers.
However, Lu Yuan was just making a gesture, and immediately he looked at those female students and grinned, saying:
"What's there to be shy about? As president, I can really solve it!"
Lu Yuan's words made the students burst into laughter, and the female students, still shy, lowered their hands.
Meanwhile, the chief eunuch in the room went out to attend to business according to Gu Qingwan's instructions.
Gu Qingwan listened to Lu Yuan's words, watched his earlier action, and couldn't help but blush.
This little thing really does nothing but act improperly~
Really annoying~
Afterward, Lu Yuan continued looking at the students before him and said with a smile:
"Come on, come on, is there any brave soul who dares to urinate toward this basin of hot water? If you dare, I, the president, will reward you with a hundred bucks!"
Just as Lu Yuan finished speaking, quite a few classmates' eyes lit up, and they immediately stood up and shouted loudly:
"President, I'll go!"
One leads to another.
Soon, a dozen or so students stood up.
Of course, the vast majority didn't stand up, because everyone knows there must be something else going on here.
Even the students who stood up know they probably won't earn that hundred bucks.
But they're just joining in for the fun~
Sure enough, after these people stood up, Lu Yuan immediately grinned and said:
"You dare, but the president's advice is that you shouldn't try; otherwise…… you'll end up as roasted chicken~"
Roasted chicken?
Everyone was taken aback, very curious.
How does urinating on boiling water turn into roasted chicken??
Lu Yuan laughed, said nothing, then threw a handful of broken tea leaves into this large basin of boiling water, and then said:
Come, everyone gather over and observe carefully.
At once, everyone instantly stood up and ran toward Lu Yuan.
The Qingbei Daxue folks were sitting on the benches, with desks in front blocking them, so they were a bit slow to get up.
Those Guozijian students sitting around on the ground almost instantly sprang up and rushed toward Lu Yuan.
Even those disciples standing behind Yan Shijin, a dozen or so of them, instantly rushed toward Lu Yuan.
Everyone wanted to go see, afraid that if they were late they wouldn't get a good spot.
At this moment, Yan Shijin was dumbfounded.
No……
Is Lu Yuan giving a lecture??
Is Lu Yuan teaching?!!
This is again the motion of untying one's belt, his mouth constantly spitting out talk of feces and urine, and he would often just be urinating.
What on earth is Lu Yuan teaching?!!
Even something like this, there are people who want to watch and want to listen?!!
As for those Qingbei Daxue people, forget it—I don't even know where they dug up these vulgar folks.
But how can the Guozijian students also be listening to this talk of feces and urine?!!
Vulgar learning!!
Vulgar learning, ah!!!
This isn't proper scholarship!!
Thanks to Lingdu Shangchen old brother for the 888 coin tip, thanks a lot~
Who would have thought, a new chapter at four in the morning.
Please call me the updating assassin.
