Chapter 760 Making a Plan
"Which two roads?" Xiao Yue asked hurriedly.
"The first way is for us to go to the emperor together and plead our case to buy time to find out the truth. The so-called evil spirit theory is totally unfounded. I think someone must have done something behind the scenes. If we can find out everything, we can naturally clear the bad name of the Women's Academy."
As Jiang Suining finished speaking, Wei Yao and Lu Yan shook their heads almost at the same time.
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Lu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the emperor will also feel that this matter is not right, but even if he determines that there is something else going on, it will take time to investigate. If we continue to delay like this, the news in the imperial city will be abuzz, which is definitely not what the emperor wants to see."
"Yes, I agree with Ayan. The news in the imperial city is so serious now. Even if it is to appease the people, I am afraid that the emperor will take action against the women's academy." Wei Yao said.
Xiao Yue also agreed with their ideas in her heart.
When she first came to this era, she still had some unrealistic fantasies, always thinking that things would go as she wished. But now she has long seen clearly that for Emperor Xiao, who is on the throne, the first thing he considers is not the truth, but the face and dignity of the royal family.
Even if they wanted to investigate this matter, they would probably close the girls' college first and then let people investigate it slowly.
Moreover, with so many national affairs to attend, perhaps there is simply no energy to devote to this matter, and in the end the only option is to close the girls' college.
"What is the second way you are talking about?" Xiao Yue asked Jiang Suining directly.
“This second path…”
Jiang Suining was silent for a moment, motioned Xier who was standing beside him to stay outside the room and not let anyone approach, and then he continued to speak.
"If I tell you about this second option, it may be considered disrespectful, and if I choose to do this, I may offend the emperor. Are you sure you want to listen?"
Xiao Yue said: "It's already this time, you don't need to worry about it anymore. There are only a few of us here, so even if it's inappropriate to say it out loud, it won't be spread out."
"That's right, Sui Ning, just tell me." Wei Yao asked.
Looking at them, Jiang Suining lowered his voice and said, "Since someone wants to use rumors and the people's gossip to force the emperor to take action against the Women's Academy, we may not be able to take advantage of this."
"You mean we should use rumors to fight back?" Lu Yan frowned in confusion. "But in this situation, how can we use rumors? And even if we fight back against Minister Zhong, we might end up hurting both sides."
Jiang Suining shook his head, "It's not aimed at Zhong Xingyun, but at the emperor."
The rumors about the girls' academy in the imperial city are now too rampant. If the emperor takes the people's opinions into consideration, ordering the closure of the girls' academy would be the simplest way.
However, if these rumors were not only directed at the women's academy, but also involved the emperor, things would be different.
For example, when people discuss the girls' academy that was originally agreed to by the emperor, they feel that the emperor and the court made a mistake in their policy. Once it reaches this point, whether the girls' academy is closed or not involves whether the emperor made a mistake in his decision.
Naturally, it would not be possible for Emperor Xiao to simply order the closure of the women's academy and be done with it.
After hearing Jiang Suining's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Yes, this way, we are dragging our father and us into the same boat. If we close the girls' academy directly, it would be like slapping our father in the face. This is a good idea!" Xiao Yue finally smiled, and her uneasy heart relaxed a little.
Wei Yao also thought this was a good idea. "Yes, this way, even Zhong Xingyun would have to be considerate and restrained. And once these rumors spread, the emperor will definitely pay more attention to them, and he might even send someone to investigate the matter of being possessed by evil spirits."
Compared to the two people's immediate agreement, Lu Yan was a little more hesitant.
"Although this method is good, I am worried that if the emperor wants to appease the people as soon as possible, he will eventually admit that he made a wrong decision and directly order the closure of the girls' academy. What should we do then?"
Jiang Suining smiled softly, "Then we should spread the message just now and create another wave of momentum, so that another wave of discussion will hold the opposite opinion. They will think that the women's academy is a manifestation of the emperor's kindness and compassion for women, and it is the best decision. The women's academy must not be closed."
"That's great!" Wei Yao smiled. "The two groups hold completely opposite opinions. If the emperor wants to follow the will of the people, it will be difficult to decide which group to follow at the moment!"
Lu Yan also hurriedly said: "As long as the emperor hesitates and does not immediately close the women's academy, this matter will have a turn for the better, and we will have time to investigate what exactly is going on with the evil spirit."
"Then let's do it this way!" Xiao Yue said.
"Although this method can temporarily prevent the women's academy from being closed immediately, it is related to the royal family and the emperor after all. Are you sure you really want to go this way?" Jiang Suining looked at several people and confirmed again.
She was confident that while spreading the news, no one would be able to find out who was secretly spreading it.
But this matter is not a joke after all. Before doing this, the interests involved must be made clear so that Ayan and Ayao can think it through.
"Anyway, we have put so much effort into the Women's College, it must not be closed. Although this approach is a bit risky, I think it's worth it." Wei Yao did not hesitate.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan agreed with Wei Yao.
As for Xiao Yue, she had less respect for the so-called imperial power and the emperor than Lu Yan and Wei Yao, so she naturally agreed without hesitation.
The response measures were decided quickly, and Jiang Suining assigned people to arrange the spread of the news.
In addition, she and Wei Yao will find a way to go to the Zhong family to inquire about the news.
Lu Yan is meticulous and is in charge of matters in the palace during this period, ensuring that nothing goes wrong with the female official.
As for Xiao Yue, she quickly returned to the palace and secretly kept an eye on the news in the palace, especially the reaction from Emperor Xiao, and communicated with them in a timely manner.
As for the female students in the Girls' Academy, Jiang Suining and the others could only try their best to comfort them, but if any of them insisted on leaving, they would not force them to stay.
In the evening of that day, Jiang Suining and Wei Yao arrived at Ning Garden together.
The news about the Zhong family that Jiang Suining had sent people to inquire about before was also delivered.
"So the Zhong family didn't hire a doctor at all?" Wei Yao frowned, surprised. "Zhong Yixue suddenly went crazy on the street. She was so abnormal, but they didn't even hire a doctor for her. Could it be that Zhong Xingyun was really so cruel to his own daughter?"
