The decree for the construction of the Imperial Army's camp and the four Great Academies was issued simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, the ground for the four Great Academies has been leveled, but there's still no movement at the Imperial Army's camp.
The four cabinet ministers originally each managed one academy. Ultimately, Wang He decided to give Donglin Academy to Li Weisheng.
The reasoning behind this decision is quite solid. Li Weisheng came from the West, ascended to the court, wielding thunderous influence to suppress the Eastern Jin royal family and nobility, initiating reforms, and aiming to put the Pure Stream in power.
Such a figure, let alone with a colossal force behind him, even if he came alone, how could he not deserve a share?
The civil servants quickly divided positions among themselves and started enthusiastically. They clearly see that one academy, decades later, would be a significant force in politics.
