What made Zhou Zhi feel strange was that Guozijian had little contact with the outside world, but the news that Zhou Zhi and his wife killed Li Guang to eliminate harm for the people and the court spread only on the 221st day of the first month.

Everyone's eyes are very different from those of the previous year, full of great admiration. Of course, there are also jealous people among them, such as Liu Kaixian, Xu Kuibi and others in the "Four Youths of Beijing".

However, Guo Xun seems to have changed a lot of attitude towards Zhou Zhi. Maybe his father Guo Liang really taught him a good lesson. Because of this matter, Guo Liang was also involved in it and was reprimanded by the emperor. So Guo Xun rarely brought a smiling face in front of Zhou Zhi.

He actually called Zhou Zhi his brother very closely, which made Zhou Zhi very puzzled. According to the development of history, Guo Xun was the future Marquis of Wuding, and later became the Duke of the Kingdom. But this guy is taking grace and power, and he is in the limelight for a while. It can be regarded as a scourge of the Ming court.

No matter what happens to him in the future, now that Guo Xun has taken the initiative to approach him, he is on guard and gets along with him. After all, in this capital, he has very few connections, and it will not hurt him to meet more people.

Of course, Zhou Zhi doesn't care much about the handling of interpersonal relationships. This year is the year of Dabi, and there are only seven months left after the autumn exam. Zhou Zhi is going to be promoted in the exam this year. After all, his mentor Yang Yiqing has placed great hopes on himself, and let him come to Guozijian to study, if there is no improvement in studying here, then how can he be worthy of Yang Yiqing.

Besides, I am also eighteen years old this year, and at the age of eighteen, I was raised in the exam, and there are many such people in the history of the Ming Dynasty. I can enter the Ming officialdom as soon as possible, exercise as soon as possible, not to mention the glorious lintel, and do more things for the court and the people.

Besides, in this national prison, many people have a much better background than themselves, such as Liu Kaixian and others, they have long been promoted now, but they have not relaxed at all in reading and writing, so why should they not work hard.

In short, now is to put all your energy into reading and composing, and work hard.

Such days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it entered February of the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty. On this day, Zhou Zhi went to Minglun Hall as usual to listen to Mr. Zhuge Hou's lecture.

At the beginning of the class, Cheng Minzheng, the priest of the country, walked side by side with a middle-aged man about forty years old, and the middle-aged man was followed by a boy in his teens.

The boy wears a blue scarf on his head and wears a robe. The appearance is very handsome, and he walks with a clear eye, a literary crepe, like a little adult.

When Zhuge saw the middle-aged man, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've seen Lord Yang!" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuge is polite!" ”

Cheng Minzheng, the priest of the country, stepped onto the podium with a smile, glanced down, and said in a deep voice, "This is Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Zhongyun, Yang Ting, and Lord Yang." ”

Almost all the students in the audience were stunned. Don't look at Zuo Chunfang, Zuo Zhongyun is just a six-grade official, but Yang Tinghe's name is unknown to everyone. Yang Tinghe became famous as a teenager, and at the age of twelve, he passed the local examination, which can be called a model and idol for all students.

Including Zhou Zhi, he learned about Yang Ting and his people from the history books in later generations. Unexpectedly, Yang Tinghe stood in front alive at this time. looked at Yang Tinghe's bookish face, but there was an unruly but unruly but extremely stable and sophisticated aura coming out of the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Obviously, this man is a man of great ambitions.

Others may not know Yang Tinghe's future achievements, but Zhou Zhi is very clear. At this time, this middle-aged man with a bookish spirit, although he has not officially stepped onto the stage of Ming politics. But in the future, he will be the commander of the two dynasties, and he will be a well-known figure in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

In the words of the history books, Yang Tinghe was an upright official, erudite and upright throughout his life, and played a certain role in revitalizing the decline of the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

After a brief period of astonishment, all the students stood up in unison, and they all arched their hands, "I've seen Lord Yang." ”

Yang Tinghe returned the salute to everyone with a smile.

Cheng Minzheng, the priest of the country, turned his head and glanced at Yang Tinghe, his expression was obviously cautious.

Although Cheng Minzheng is said to be a fourth-grade official, and Yang Tinghe is a sixth-grade official, Cheng Minzheng is very clear that Yang Tinghe is now the lecture of the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, and he specializes in teaching Zhu Houzhao to read. When Zhu Houzhao becomes the emperor in the future, this Yang Tinghe is bound to become an important minister.

It is necessary to wait for Yang Ting and the future to really grasp the power, and then to get close to Yang Ting, then it will definitely not be rushed.

It is for this reason that when Yang Tinghe found Cheng Minzheng and asked his own son Yang Shen, who was only ten years old, to come to Guozijian to study, Cheng Minzheng immediately agreed. At this time, the little boy standing behind Yang Tinghe, with a small face, and even a little arrogant, was Yang Shen.

In fact, according to what Cheng Minzheng and Yang Tinghe agreed in advance, Yang Shen could come to Guozijian to study before the year. But Yang Shen was only nine years old last year, and the weather was cold, and he had a wind chill, so he delayed until now.

However, Yang Shen is actually very qualified to come to Guozijian to study. As early as last year, Yang Shen was only nine years old and was admitted to Xiucai. In the area of Xindu, Sichuan, it is known as a "prodigy".

Cheng Minzheng, the priest of the country, then introduced Yang Shen and everyone got acquainted. Yang Shen strode forward and stepped onto the podium with a pretentious matter. He was very small, and standing on the stage at this time, he could only be barely seen by the people sitting in the back of Minglun Hall.

Yang Shen arched his hand towards everyone, and said crisply, "Yang Shen has seen all the seniors!" ”

Then he bowed slightly.

His attitude is actually understandable, and this can be regarded as a kind of respect for everyone when he first arrives. In fact, it seems that only Yang Shen has such a treatment introduced by Cheng Minzheng alone. For example, ordinary people wait for the Guozijian to come to the country, and after registering in the classics hall, they will blend in with the many prisoners. As for getting acquainted with everyone, it is only a matter of taking your time in the future.

The "Four Young Masters of the Capital" sitting in the back now only have three eldest young masters. After Jiang Lun was driven home by the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, he needed to reflect at home for half a year, and naturally he had not come to the country at this time.

Xu Kuibi, Guo Xun and Liu Kaixian suddenly laughed.

Especially Xu Kuibi and Guo Xun, they are relatives, where will they take the little Yang Tinghe in their eyes? Even if they knew that Yang Tinghe was the prince's teacher, the prince's teacher was not just Yang Tinghe. Their parents didn't look at Yang Tinghe at all.

Xu Kuibi even stood up and said with a smile, "Lord Sacrificial Wine, our Guozijian is really getting worse and worse, when will we be able to let a stinky child come to study?" It's ridiculous! ”

With him taking the lead, many prisoners in Minglun Hall said in unison, "Yes, a little child also came to study in the Guozijian as a prisoner, isn't this to ruin the reputation of our Guozijian?" ”
