Chapter 458: You are not worthy of being the dean
Baiqiu, for the practitioners of the Dajin Dynasty, is a familiar and unfamiliar name. In comparison, people are more accustomed to calling him Dean.
Dajin First Academy, the dean of Chunqiu Academy.
But it is said that Dean Bai has been traveling around the world over the years, so it has not appeared in the eyes of the world for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Dean Bai will appear in the Kyoto Imperial Garden and beside the prince again.
And it was when it was about to decide the ownership of the Emperor of Dajin.
Xia Sheng did not know Bai Qiu because he had never seen this dean who had seen the head but not the tail since he entered the Chunqiu Academy.
But he knew the thorny flowers at the hem of the white mound's clothes.
In Quan Dajin, there are only two places where people can print the thorn flower patterns on their clothes in such a grand manner.
One is the Thorn Army.
The other is the Spring and Autumn Academy.
More importantly, Xia Sheng could clearly feel the surging sword energy storm in the old man's body.
Therefore, Xia Sheng knew that the old man was a powerful man like himself.
In this way, there are few answers to choose from.
There are only two martial masters in the Thorn Army, one is Ye Jiang, and the other is the right of the deputy commander Kuang Qi, who was buried in Nanchuan two years ago.
In Chunqiu Academy, except for Tang Zi'an, Wei Qiuyue and Hu Shuo, only one person has more strength than the level of honor.
Naturally, it is the White Hill.
As the honorary teacher of the Chunqiu Academy, Xia Sheng should salute when he saw the dean, but he did not do so at this time, but gently held the Haoran sword on his waist.
"Bold! Dean Bai is right now, you dare to hold the sword! It's so rebellious!"
The prince took a step back and pointed at Xia Sheng with his hand. The splendor in his eyes was a bit fierce on the outside and weak on the inside.
It was not because Xia Sheng actually returned from the Jinyuan Secret Realm alive, but during the period when Xia Sheng came to him, the imperial guards in the East Palace did not respond at all.
Even Chang Xin and his royal masters never showed up.
If it weren't for Dean Bai's side, the prince would have been frightened and ran away with his head in his arms.
But in fact, from beginning to end, Xia Sheng did not focus on the prince, but was looking at Bai Qiu.
At this moment, when hearing the prince's heart-killing words, Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile coldly: "Director? So you are the dean of Chunqiu Academy? I really don't know if it was my Dajin's misfortune or the academy's misfortune."
Upon hearing this, the prince wanted to say something else, but saw Bai Qiu gently raise an arm to stop the prince's subsequent rebuke.
"This should be Teacher Xia. Although I have been away from Bujushan in the past two years, I have heard a lot of rumors about Teacher Xia. The academy is in trouble these days, thanks to Teacher Xia's care."
Although Bai Qiu called Xia Sheng "Xia Teaching", it did not mean too high between the lines, but seemed very sincere.
Unfortunately, Xia Sheng was not grateful for this, but instead smiled and shook his head: "Director Bai? I really don't know what kind of virtue you are, what qualifications are to become the dean of Chunqiu Academy?"
"Where are you when Mu Bei crawled into the mountains and Vice President Tang died?"
"When the academy retreated step by step in the Spring Examination Competition and was humiliated by Tianxing Academy in all kinds of ways, where are you?"
"When Academician Zhou, Shen Hui and other teachers and students of the academy were killed by a traitor on their way back to the academy and were wiped out, where were you?"
"Where are you when the Judgment Department, the Ministry of Justice, and His Highness the Crown Prince blocked the mountains and locked the roads and wanted to harm the disciples of the academy?"
"By the way, maybe President Bai doesn't know yet. Just at the moment when you and I met, the Barbarian King Cangshan was leading an army of 100,000 to raid Buju Mountain. I went to mobilize the Thorn Army to go to Buju Mountain to rescue the siege. I dare to ask, what have you done?"
Every word from Xia Sheng was like a sharp sword, piercing Bai Qiu's heart fiercely. When his last word fell, Bai Qiu's face finally changed a little.
"The barbarians arrived at Buju Mountain?"
Xia Sheng looked at the anxious look that was not fake in Bai Qiu's eyes and nodded: "Fortunately, you didn't act too cold, which made me feel a little relieved. Since that's the case, I will give you a chance to explain."
From a certain perspective, Xia Sheng’s words at this time were a bit ridiculous, but the prince did not laugh, and Bai Qiu did not laugh either.
Because Xia Sheng has proved that he has the qualification to give this explanation with the azure light on his wrist.
Bai Qiu sighed slowly: "It's you who gave me no choice."
This sentence is very vague, but Xia Sheng understood the profound meaning hidden in it.
Baiqiu had no choice because Xia Sheng chose the Ninth Prince.
Once the ninth prince takes office, he will definitely support the Ye family and the Jingthorn Army to deal with the Pei family.
Baiqiu can't let this happen.
Because of six words.
The death of Emperor Taizong.
I still remember when I was in the secret realm of Jinyuan, Hu Tianxing once told Xia Sheng that there were five culprits in the death of Emperor Taizong: the king of grassland Nalan Ruoxue, the prince's Taishi Baichuan, Xu Yidao, the descendant of Xu Bei, the powerful general Zhu Yuanba, who was responsible for the Northern Expedition, and the sword saint Pei Xu.
In this way, it is easy to understand why the Xu family turned a blind eye to the battle of Guihua Lane.
Because among the people who were going to kill Xia Sheng that day, there were people from the Pei family.
Since more than two hundred years ago, the Pei family and the Xu family have formed an unbreakable alliance.
Baiqiu chose the prince today for the same reason.
Because Shirakawa is his uncle and the brother of the previous president of the Spring and Autumn Academy, Baifu.
Therefore, the Chunqiu Academy, the Xu family and the Pei family have always been the most natural allies.
Although Bai Qiu didn't know that Xia Sheng had already worshipped Pei Yuan as his teacher at this time, during the Great Sacrifice of Heaven, Xia Sheng joined forces with Mu Chenyi to severely hurt Pei Xu, so the relationship between Xia Sheng and the Pei family became extremely complicated.
No one knows whether King Ning would attack the Pei family if he took office.
But Baiqiu must kill this possibility in advance.
Xia Sheng understood Bai Qiu’s reason, but it did not mean that he would accept it.
So at the next moment, Xia Sheng shook his head and said, "I did not expect you to appear here today. Maybe with my current strength, I can't kill you in a short time, but in the same way, you can't kill me, and most importantly, you are more anxious than me."
Bai Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"
"Because I am a descendant of Lochul."
As soon as this said, the calmness on Bai Qiu's face was finally broken, because he also understood the profound meaning of Xia Sheng's words.
Now the Dajin Dynasty is on the verge of breaking. The Qin family's rebellion in the capital will bring great turmoil to Luoyang. The demon clan has crossed the Shuo River and is heading straight towards the hinterland of Dajin. The grassland people have destroyed the Xiling army and will soon be at the foot of Luoyang. On Mount Buju, there are still 100,000 troops of the Barbarian King waiting for it.
If the throne of Dajin is delayed and there is no monarch in the country, then Dajin will be finished.
To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the country. This is the supreme truth that Emperor Jin told Qin Xiaohua. It is more appropriate to place it at this time and here.
Xia Sheng was a descendant of Luoqiu, so he could watch the Dajin Dynasty towards destruction without being moved.
But Baiqiu can't do it.
Even though Xia Sheng thought that he was not competent as a dean, he was the dean of Chunqiu Academy after all.
He must put the academy first, the great jin first, and the world first!
Therefore, Xia Sheng could spend endlessly with him, even if he could not kill him, it would be enough as long as he dragged the prince down and refused to succeed him.
But the white hill cannot afford it.
After a long silence, Bai Qiu finally tightened the long sword around his waist and swung the most important and critical sword in his life.
He slashed at the head of Prince Zhao Hao.
