Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2314: Late Night Work



*yawn*

Song Chuan resisted his sleepiness and saw Prime Minister Lan there. He quickly cupped his fist and said, "Prime Minister Lan."

Prime Minister Lan nodded. He was actually also ready to rest. After all, Prime Minister Lan was no longer young. But when he received the report from the Capital Academy, he had no other choice but to come here.

The Capital Academy is an important place for Fei Yang Kingdom. It taught many of the younger generation to become the next ministers and officials. Even if not all of them were smart enough to become an official in the end, there would still be many officials came from this academy.

"What problem is it?" Song Chuan asked.

"A teacher is found to be a spy from Fan Yi Kingdom," Prime Minister Lan replied and stroked his forehead with headache.

He spent a long time discussing some matters with Prime Minister Xian not long ago. Now, he had to go to the Capital Academy because of another matter related to Fan Yi Kingdom and Prime Minister Lan was tired.

"How did they come here?" Song Chuan frowned.

The people who could enter Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City were monitored strictly. Relatively speaking, no one would be able to enter Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City easily in normal times.

With the war with several kingdoms over, the security in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City was naturally increased.

After all, they wouldn't want any incident to happen to the people in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City.

"He's born and raised in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City. It seems that he comes into contact with someone from Fan Yi Kingdom and switch side," Prime Minister Lan replied.

Those who could become teacher in the Capital Academy was naturally selected carefully. Their background would also be investigated carefully to make sure they would not be someone with other motives.

Even though they did think of expanding the people to those who used to come from other kingdoms, but this hadn't been put into notion yet.

Some ministers did come from other kingdoms, especially those who used to be an official before their kingdoms fell. After all, it was impossible to do a big overhaul of the ministers all of the sudden.

They have to make sure that everyone in the specific position had the ability to complete their task.

But for the position of the teachers in the academy, they still didn't choose those who come from different kingdoms. After all, it was unknown whether there were some others who have other intention when they came here.

For the sake of the students, they didn't do it.

At least, not yet.

In the future, it would be inevitable that everyone merged together and there would be a lot of mix. But for now, it would be better to be safe than sorry.

"So a betrayer," Song CHuan said with a frown.

It seemed that the people who thought that other kingdoms were more powerful still existed. But for him who had followed the process of war very clearly, he knew that Fan Yi Kingdom

was basically being cornered by Fei Yang Kingdom.

Why did they still want to side with Fan Yi Kingdom?

If they came from Fan Yi Kingdom, he might be able to understand a bit. After all, there were people who were loyal to their kingdoms and would undo their best to make sure that they would win in the war.

For these people, they would rather die for their kingdom rather than serving other kingdoms. Song Chuan understood it.

But these people who were from Fei Yang Kingdom and knew that Fan Yi Kingdom would lose, why did they still choose to side with Fan Yi Kingdom?

Isn't it unreasonable?

Prime Minister Lan seemed to see Song Chuan's confusion. He walked to the front where the guards have detained the teacher for more interrogation. They were hoping to obtain as much information as possible from him.

"He's offered money and sold the information and also to solicit new people to follow them," Prime Minister Lan said. "He had no intention to go to Fan Yi Kingdom, but he wishes to live a better life."

Those who betrayed their own kingdom didn't always think that the opponent could win.

They were simply people who wanted to make a profit based on the situation.

Even if they thought that the other party couldn't win, but if they could get some benefit from this situation, they would still do it.

This teacher was the same.

When the people from Fan Yi Kingdom came to them, he was clearly aware that the situation in Fan Yi Kingdom was not very good. But because of the benefit that they brought to his door,

he decided to follow them and listened to their words.

By doing a few simple things, he could get a lot of benefit.

So, why not?

"He's not poor, is he?" Song Chuan asked as they continued to walk.

"No, he's not poor." Prime Minister Lan shook his head.

Their tradition and teaching taught them to respect teachers very much. It was also because of this that the position of a teacher was very high and even Emperor Yang Zhou was very careful on who could become a teacher.

At the same time, the teachers in the Capital Academy were all given high salary and

extremely good treatment.

The main reason was naturally to make sure they would do their best for the children who would become the kingdom's pillars in the future.

These people were also very smart.

Most of them were usually advanced in age but there were also some middle aged teachers

who were capable enough for this position.

"But, the richer the people, the greedier they could be, isn't it?" Prime Minister Lan asked

quietly.

They were not poor, but they simply felt that they didn't have enough.

So that when they were offered a lot of benefits, they chose to follow through and do this.
