After the apocalypse pressed the topaz on his forehead, he closed his eyes and waited, who knew that he waited and waited without waiting for the white light to come, and occasionally he could perceive groups of white dots passing by in an instant, but it felt not so real, just like a person who wanted to see the sun looking up but could only see the dark night sky, and occasionally saw one or two points of starlight. Regardless of whether the apocalypse turned the topaz over or fell over, the expected white light still did not appear, and after about two quarters of an hour, the apocalypse remembered whether the day was wrong, remembering that the earthquake was the eighth day of the fourth month, and today was the first day of the first month of April, and it seemed that he had given himself some time to make arrangements.

After figuring out that it was because of the time problem, Apocalypse turned over and stood up, and thought about putting the topaz in the box. Then he shouted, "Someone, get a lock and lock the box." ”

I saw Tan Jing come in and ask, "Is the emperor resting?" The queen and several maids were in a hurry, they were afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest, so they went to the next room to wait, and the servants went to find the lock, did they want to notify them to come? ”

Apocalypse nodded and didn't speak, thinking that there were still so many people who cared about him, and it seemed that it was not appropriate to leave without arranging things. After a while, I saw that the queen, Feng Siqin and Princess Ningde, as well as Zhang Chunying, Liu Sanlang, Wei Xiaolan and others who rushed to get the news, all came, and they all looked worried. Apocalypse smiled, "What's wrong with you? I'm just slightly unwell, just take a break, it's nothing. By the way, how happened to King Xin's choice of concubine? ”

The queen said: "The emperor is fine, and the concubines will rest assured." It is believed that the king's selection of concubines has been completed, that is, the three ladies have begun, and the concubines have ordered them to wait for the decree in the side hall, and the others have ordered people to give silver to return to their hometowns. ”

Princess Ningde said: "Brother Huang, you are suddenly unwell, which scared me and King Xin very much, King Xin told me outside to inform him if I had news, and I will go." ”

The apocalypse said, "Go, tell the king of the letter that the marriage will be completed in three days, and the three women will enter the palace of the king of the letter together and seal it as he wants." ”

Princess Ningde was surprised: "So fast? Is it in time? ”

Apocalypse said, "The mansion and the family are ready, what is too late?" Why don't you take a shower, hang up some festive things, invite someone to eat, and then go into the cave room? Three days is enough. Besides, King Xin hugged everyone else and let people go home? You are the same, on the sixth day of the fourth month of April, your marriage with Liu Youfu has also been done, and there are still five days for you to prepare, the queen and a few of you are free to help the sixth sister prepare, don't lose the etiquette at that time. ”

After the queen and several other servants agreed, Tianqi said to Tan Jing again: "Spread the decree, the left and right elders of the Jiaxin Palace, Huang Zunsu and Qian Qianyi, are the attendants of the Ministry of Rites, and will arrange the marriage of King Xin and Princess Ningde with the Ministry of Rites and other people in the Zongren Mansion. Tan Jing listened, and hurriedly summoned the celebrant and the others to write the order.

Tianqi looked at the relocked box on the table, thought for a while and said to Yang Gongchun: "Lock up this room for a while and send someone to take care of it, the things in it are related to the Buddha, I want to use them to offer to the Buddha on the eighth birthday of the Buddha in the first month of April, during which no one is allowed to enter so as not to desecrate the Buddha." ”

Yang Gongchun said: "The emperor can rest assured, the slave guarantees that not a single fly can fly in." ”

In the past few days, Apocalypse has been very busy and happy, and everyone knows that he was not feeling well when he believed in the king's choice of concubine, and he may have been tired. Think about it, although there are capable people such as King Xin, Sun Chengzong, Gao Panlong, Yang Lian and other capable people in government affairs, military affairs and government affairs, and Wei Zhongxian and Yang Gongchun and others who let Jinyiwei collect them carefully, but major and difficult matters still have to be decided by Tianqi himself. There are so many things to be done with someone to help, I really don't know how to live if no one helps and someone makes a bad one.

Because no one has come to disturb him these days, the apocalypse can accompany his wives to play everywhere every day, go to climb the mountain when the weather is not hot, take an open-top boat to row on the Nanhaizi when it is hot, and put a few tables of mahjong on the table when he is tired. Halfway through the letter king and Princess Ningde when they got married, they all entered the palace to visit, and the apocalypse comforted and rewarded, one day the apocalypse also went out of the palace with Wei Xiaolan and Chen Mingzhu, and walked around the night market in the inner city to see the night scene.

It looks very quiet during the day, but at night the apocalypse is very busy, and every day after dinner, he has to stay alone for an hour and write down his arrangements.

First of all, after he leaves, the DPRK and China must not be chaotic, and both government and military affairs must operate normally, as for the reform of the administration of officials, let it be natural, no one will be Zhang Juzheng and Wang Anshi, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to change smoothly. If you let someone who doesn't know how to force it, it is very likely that the tiger will not become an anti-dog, and it is better to go with the flow. The ancients also said that governing the country is to not disturb the people, and when the time comes, it will come naturally, and now it is better not to pull out the seedlings to help them grow.

The most promising thing for the Apocalypse was the establishment of the Sacred College and the Liberal Arts Academy, where debates were often held, and not only retired ministers, but also celebrities who gave lectures in private came to exchange ideas. Tianqi has always said to Liu Zongzhou that no one should engage in academic debate with others on the premise that they are correct at any time, and everyone should communicate with each other with the attitude of learning and perfecting themselves in order to make continuous progress. Liu Zongzhou felt that what Tianqi said was reasonable, and he repeatedly asked for it when he usually presided over the debate, and it can be said that the academic atmosphere in the current Holy Academy is very strong and healthy.

There is no major movement in the Bo Academy at this time, only Ni Yuanlu, Sun Yuanhua, Mao Yuanyi and others are studying cannons and muskets, although there is no big progress, but there are a lot of small improvements, and they also recruit some interested people to study together, I believe that it is only a matter of time before they get a big breakthrough with their strength.

Xu Guangqi was not idle as the host of the Bo College, and when he himself was trying to write a book to publicize his experience in agricultural politics and the calendar, he also invited many people who had a good relationship with him to study military industry, mathematics and science and other issues in the Bo College, including a few foreigners. Apocalypse knew that the purpose of these foreigners was to preach, and in order to win the favor of the court officials and gentry, he also took out some knowledge of the West to attract people's attention. Although the Bo Academy did not attract the attention of many people like the Holy Academy, the Apocalypse believed that they would have a strong accumulation one day.

The Doctoral College and the Holy College are for the discovery of new knowledge, and the other for the rational use of old and new knowledge, and it can be said that these two institutions are the hope of the Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent the paralysis or even disintegration of these two institutions after his departure, the Apocalypse has repeatedly decreed that no one is allowed to attack the two institutions in speech, and if there are different opinions, they can debate in the Holy Academy, and if they are right, they will do what you say, but if there are people who are unwilling to put their words on the surface and say them in private, but privately spread rumors and slander the Holy Academy and the Bo Academy, the Apocalypse orders that they will be severely punished according to the crime of bewitching the public.

Now that he is leaving, Tianqi has decided to take care of the Holy Academy and the Bo Academy, and in the past few days, he has taken the time to go around these two places, and has given Mo to ask Sun Chengzong and King Xin to write inscriptions for the two institutions, and the Prime Minister of the Government Council and the Chief Military Aircraft Scholar of the Military Affairs Yuan are all in this inscription, even if someone wants to move here in the future, they will have to weigh their own weight. Moreover, the Apocalypse also announced that from now on in the two great institutions of the Holy College and the Polyma, no one would bow down to anyone, as a sign of respect for knowledge, and demanded that this decree be engraved on a stone tablet and placed prominently at the door.

After a few busy days, the eighth day of the fourth month is approaching in the blink of an eye. On the seventh night of the first lunar month, Apocalypse summoned the queen to the room where the boxes were kept, and told everyone else to leave the room without eavesdropping. Seeing the apocalypse's cautious expression, the queen asked, "What's the matter with the emperor calling his concubines here at night?" ”

Apocalypse said, "The queen takes a look at this room, is there anything new to discover?" ”

The queen looked left and right and asked, "I didn't find anything, is the emperor going to tear down this place and rebuild it?" ”

Apocalypse asked in surprise, "Why did the queen say that?" How can this be rebuilt? ”

The queen said: "The concubine also heard someone say two days ago, saying that many rooms in the Qianqing Palace are old, and the people who slept around here a few nights ago were groggy, always dreaming that something kept calling in the dream, and the concubine thought that although this house is still strong, will there be unclean things after a long time?" Just ask someone to renovate it, Wei Zhongxian just sent more than 100,000 taels of silver two days ago, and it should be no problem to renovate it. ”

Tianqi nodded and said, "It seems that Wei Zhongxian has had a good time in the past two months. ”
