Due to Zhu Youxiao's indulgence, the news in the court basically couldn't be hidden.

When I heard that His Majesty was going to build a house for everyone, the court was excited for a while, and this matter has been discussed around these days. This made the atmosphere of the whole Mid-Autumn Festival warm and everyone was very happy.

However, there is also news about where to change the house. After all, the land in the capital is very tight, and since it is to build a house, it must be a large-scale use of land. It's not easy to do in the city.

Some people say that they want to build a house outside the capital.

As soon as this news came out, many people were in pain. Build a house outside the capital, and go to the city every day, how early does it have to go? How many miles do you have to make along the way? That's not going to work.

It is also said that if a house is to be built in the northwest corner of the palace, His Majesty will set aside a piece of land.

But this is not like words, it is a royal garden, it is His Majesty's thing, how can you cut a corner out there?

There are also people who say that they want to take all the seowon out of the city and build a house on the land of the original academy.

This statement has been agreed by many people, after all, this is the only one that sounds more reliable.

In such public opinion, the capital ushered in another big event, that is, the Southern Sect of the Confucian family has entered the city, that is, the new Yan Shenggong has arrived.

All of a sudden, the capital shook, and countless scholars began to run to the city gate, ready to welcome the new Yan Shenggong.

It is said that the new Yan Shenggong is also the dean of the Royal Academy, which has given a reassurance to scholars all over the world.

Although the Confucian family has no practical rights, it is with such prestige that their symbolism is too obvious.

His Majesty's willingness to use Yan Sheng Gong represents a certain political inclination of His Majesty. That's enough for the reader.

When Kong Shangqian came to the capital, he didn't expect so many people to greet him.

Looking at the black head, Kong Shangqian's heart suddenly became excited.

You must know that he came to Beijing this time to be said to be desperate, and all the land in his family was sold. It was all the inheritance accumulated by his family for several generations, and the belongings that he had saved for hundreds of years were all gone. If you don't sell it, your majesty will ask you to sell it, then you have to sell it.

Along the way, Kong Shangqian's heart was worried, how should he live after he arrived in the capital? Relying on the Fortune of the Fortune? Don't starve to death?

Worried all the way, Kong Shangqian instantly felt a lot more relieved when he saw that there were so many scholars coming to greet him.

After his family arrived here, there were so many people who came to greet him, and it seemed that he still underestimated what the Duke of Yansheng brought with him. With these things, I think the family will be able to live well.

The walk was very slow along the way, and the people of Suncheonfu only maintained order. Obviously, the imperial court intended to promote the entry of Yan Shenggong into Beijing.

Along the way, the capital is a lot more lively.

The Ministry of Rites also sent officials to greet them. The people of the Kong family need to settle down, and this has been prepared for a long time.

As for Kong Shangqian, he wants to enter the palace to see His Majesty.

All the way into the palace, Kong Shangqian was pondering, looking cautious and cautious.

You must know that their family is not the Confucian family in Shandong, and their family is very in awe of the royal family. After all, today's majesty has even cleaned up the Kong family in Shandong, let alone their family?

After walking in, Kong Shangqian's eyes did not squint, and his attitude was correct.

Seeing that Yan Sheng Gong was coming, a white and fat eunuch greeted him, with a bright smile on his face, arched his hand at Kong Shangqian, and said with a smile: "Our family Chen Hong, I came to welcome Yan Sheng Gong by His Majesty's will." ”

"I'm tired of my father-in-law." Kong Shangqian hurriedly said.

Although he has no foundation in the capital, the identity of Yan Shenggong is here, and Kong Shangqian is not an idiot, he has already sent people to the capital one step in advance before entering Beijing.

On the one hand, these people come to the front station, on the other hand, they are here to pull relations, and at the same time, they are also to find out the news.

Many of the big officials in the imperial court, Kong Shangqian already have information, such as the Chen Hong in front of him, which can be said to be the most trusted eunuch of His Majesty today.

The celebrant has been serving His Majesty closely. Such a character is not something that Kong Shangqian, a newcomer to Yan Shenggong, can afford to offend.

So Kong Shangqian's attitude was very polite, and he also reached out and took a jade pendant and stuffed it into Chen Hong's hand, and said with a smile: "A thing on the road, Gonggong Chen took it and played with it." ”

It's not something you just get, it's a good thing.

The Kong family has accumulated hundreds of years of belongings, and naturally there are many good things. There may not be that much money, but there are a lot of things.

The one given to Chen Hong is a fine jade pendant, which is warm and soft to the touch, and you can know that it is an old object when you touch it.

Chen Hong hurriedly returned the jade pendant to Kong Shangqian, and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to collect the things of the Holy Father." When you are on an errand by Your Majesty's side, you need to know some measure, and you can't take things indiscriminately. ”

This made Kong Shangqian stunned, is this still a eunuch?

You know, the eunuchs in the palace are notoriously dead and ask for money. Don't say that you send it, if you don't send it, he will even open his mouth to blackmail you. Now that he doesn't want the things he sent to his hand, has the world changed?

Chen Hong didn't explain this to Kong Shangqian, but just smiled and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Yan Shenggong should come quickly, Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace." ”

"I'm tired of Grandpa Chen!" Kong Shangqian hurriedly said.

The two walked in one after the other, and soon saw Zhu Youxiao in the main hall.

After the big salute, Kong Shangqian knelt there quietly, waiting for Zhu Youxiao to receive him.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for Kong Shangqian to see this young majesty, and his heart was full of fear.

It's really that His Majesty's reputation is too big, and there are many rumors outside. Although there are many untruths, one thing is certain, the majesty in front of him is very assertive, and he can do things very simply.

This time, I hope to leave a good impression on His Majesty.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head, glanced at Kong Shangqian, and said with a bright smile on his face: "Yan Shenggong, excuse me." ”

After hearing this, Kong Shangqian hurriedly stood up.

After Kong Shangqian stood up, Zhu Youxiao looked up and down.

Speaking of which, in terms of appearance alone, Kong Shangqian looks pretty good, and he looks like a scholar, which is very in line with people's yearning for a scholar. His facial features are upright, his eyes are clear, his beard is sprinkled on his chest, and his whole person exudes righteousness.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao said: "The Southern Sect of the Confucian family has always admired it in my heart. If it hadn't been taken over by Hu back then, the title of Duke Yan would have been yours. Now it's the right thing to do. Once you have a knighthood, do it well, and don't let me down. ”

After listening to His Majesty's words, Kong Shangqian's heart finally felt a little better, and he was moved.

How many people can understand the grievances his family has suffered for so many years?

It is enough to be able to get His Majesty's words.

From then on, it was the time when his family was in charge, and no one could question it.

In this way, the good days of his family are coming.

Kong Shangqian said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En. From this day forward, the ministers should do their best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Needless to say, these are not to be said." Come, come on. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's call, Kong Shangqian hurriedly took a few steps forward and came straight to Zhu Youxiao, but he still stopped more than a dozen steps away.

You can't go any further, and if you go any further, it will be against the duty of a courtier.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Kong Shangqian and didn't say anything.

"See this map?" Zhu Youxiao pointed to the map in front of him and said to Kong Shangqian with a smile: "Here, I am going to build a new city. Here is a brand new Confucian Temple, and next to the Confucian Temple is the Yansheng Mansion. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Kong Shangqian's face showed a shocked expression.

Because the piece of land that His Majesty painted is really not small.

The scale of the Confucian Temple was built very large, which Kong Shangqian could understand.

But the Yansheng Mansion next to it, from the scope of His Majesty's painting, it is not small.

Your Majesty is going to build him a big mansion?!

Kong Shangqian's heart was suddenly excited, but there was also some hesitation, His Majesty is so good to him, I'm afraid this is not a very good thing, right?

As the saying goes, if you don't succeed, Your Majesty is so good to him, I'm afraid it's not easy for him to do things.

But this is the Emperor's gift, and you must not only accept it, but accept it with joy.

Zhu Youxiao did not go to see Kong Shangqian, but continued: "On the east side of the Confucian Temple, I will build a academy, and this academy will be the largest academy in the Ming Dynasty now. ”

"In addition to that, on this side is the Royal Children's Academy, and next to it is the Martial Academy. On the other side, a new seowon will be built. ”

"When the construction of this new city is completed, it will become the cultural and educational center of the Ming Dynasty. Yan Sheng Gong is in charge of the Tianxia Academy, and I don't need to say much about the heavy responsibility. At that time, Aiqing will understand. ”

"I will leave this matter to Aiqing, and I hope Aiqing will not live up to my expectations."

Kong Shangqian was already shocked by Zhu Youxiao's plan.

Your Majesty was going to do such a big thing? How much manpower and material resources will be needed for this? How much does it cost?

That's a big deal!

Kong Shangqian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best!" ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "In this way, it's the best." After your family came to Beijing, they have arranged a house for you. It's not very big, but it's enough. Let's stay for now. When the construction of the Yansheng Mansion is completed, it will not be too late for you to live in it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Kong Shangqian hurriedly agreed.

"Alright, there's nothing going on here, you can step down. After you go back, settle down at home, and if there is anything you can bring up, I will help you solve it one by one. Zhu Youxiao looked at Kong Shangqian, and said in a gentle tone and with a bright smile.

For Kong Shangqian, Zhu Youxiao still values it very much, this is a person he needs to reuse very much in the next period of time.

The reform of the academy is being carried out, and many problems have been exposed in various places, and there are even many impeachment scripts.

Among them, it is not uncommon to secretly solicit bribes and encroach on land; There are also many things like collusion between officials and businessmen and secretly making profits; There were even officials and scholars who secretly reached out to the Royal Academy, secretly forming gangs and factions, wanting to maintain the previous academy system.

This kind of thing has always happened, and Zhu Youxiao has always been able to receive secret reports, but he didn't care.

The reason is very simple, Zhu Youxiao is waiting for this matter to be completed. After the reform of the academy was completed, it was time for him to take action. Let's not mention the liquidation after the fact, how to adjust the direction still needs Kong Shangqian.

Now that Kong Shangqian has entered the capital, Zhu Youxiao's next plan can also be put on the agenda.

Turning his head to look at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said, "Did Bi Maokang want to meet him a few days ago?" ”

The actual master of the Ming Hundred Gongyuan is also famous in the imperial court, but he is still far from being high and powerful.

But in Zhu Youxiao's heart, Bi Maokang is a talent he really values very much. So when Bi Maokang wanted to meet him, Zhu Youxiao knew it as soon as possible.

It's just that the past two days have been a little inconvenient, and after learning that there is nothing too urgent, Zhu Youxiao didn't see Bi Maokang.

But this time is different, Kong Shangqian has already entered the capital, and Zhu Youxiao's new city plan can also be put on a date, and it is time to meet Bi Maokang.

Zhu Youxiao said: "You can arrange it and meet him tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed respectfully.

As Kong Shangqian entered the palace to see Zhu Youxiao, the news about the new city spread.

All of a sudden, the whole capital was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about this matter.

Readers think it's a big event. The Holy Land of the Great Ming Dynasty, who wouldn't want to witness such a place?

Today, His Majesty's heart of promoting culture and education is really a great way to shine through the ages.

Those who oppose the reform of the academy and jump around in the reform of the academy are really ill-intentioned, and such people should be caught and killed.

Such a public opinion environment was quickly formed, mainly because there were many trolls jumping up and down. These sailors are naturally the people arranged by Zhu Youxiao.

Now the days of these sailors can be said to be like fish in water, which is different from the sailors of later generations. The navy army of later generations will have to fight with people, and now at this time, they don't have to fight with people at all.

If anyone speaks violently, or does something excessive, I'm sorry, take a day trip to the East Factory.

After swimming in, it's okay to explain clearly; If the explanation is not clear, then the crime will be punished, and if you don't do it well, you have to take off a layer of skin.

So in such a situation, the water army quickly took control of the upstream, and the direction of public opinion also changed.

Grasp both hands with both hands, both hands should be hard.

However, compared to these people, the nobles and merchants also set their sights on the land of the new city.

To put it bluntly, it will be a great place to make a fortune. Not to mention the others, just the students of the academy and the scholars who gather here from all over the world are all rich people.

The new town is bound to be a good place to do business.
