After Sun Yuanhua saw Zhu Youxiao, he immediately went to meet his master Xu Guangqi. Xu Guangqi is now busy working in the fields, dressed as a farmer, and now he doesn't look like a court member of the third grade.

"I've heard the news of your mission to the West as a teacher, why are you looking for a teacher this time?" Xu Guangqi said.

"It will take five years for my disciple to go to the West, so I came to see him. In addition, there was another thing that the disciple was very confused about, so he came to ask the gentleman for advice. Sun Yuanhua was puzzled by Zhu Youxiao.

"What?" Xu Guangqi asked.

"Your Majesty summoned the disciple today and said a lot of inexplicable things to the disciple......" Then Sun Yuanhua told some of the things that Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty naturally has a reason for doing this, Westerners have indeed surpassed the Ming Dynasty in mathematics, astronomy, geography and other aspects, and the teacher discovered this problem when he translated Western books with Tang Ruowang and others." Xu Guangqi said.

"What puzzles the disciple is that His Majesty said that the earth revolves around the sun, and the emperor wants the disciple to get Galileo and Kepler back no matter what means they use." Sun Yuanhua said.

"I have heard the idea that the earth revolves around the sun, but I have heard that this is just a fallacy. As for these two people, it is likely that they are the masters of Western learning, and you can ask John Tang about these two people, and John Tang may know better. Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said.

"In fact, what puzzles the disciple the most is, how does Your Majesty know this? Could it be that His Majesty is really the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven as rumored? Sun Yuanhua asked softly.

"As a courtier, how can you talk about Your Majesty behind your back? Is this the way to be a courtier? Regardless of whether Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven or not, as long as Your Majesty can revive the Ming Dynasty. Xu Guangqi said sternly.

"Sir, the disciple knows his mistake, please punish him." Sun Yuanhua said respectfully.

"Forget it, if you have any questions, you can ask Your Majesty face to face, Your Majesty today is not the same as in the past, and he will definitely give you an explanation." Xu Guangqi said.

"Yes, disciple understands." Sun Yuanhua said. But he was complaining in his heart: Today, His Majesty asked me not to ask for reasons.

……

After Sun Yuanhua saw Xu Guangqi, he did not see Tang Ruowang. Instead, he began to select the people who accompanied him in the country.

It's just that the current Guozijian is not as good as before. Now most of the prisoners of Guozijian are regular prisoners, and the so-called routine prisons are donated funds to the prison, and the regular prisons have directly led to the decline of the Guozijian since the appearance of Jingtai years.

During the Hongwu period, the inmates of Guozijian participated in the examination of Guozijian, and they could get points, and those who passed the points could get their origin, and "those who accumulated eight points within the year were passed, and their origins." In the Yongle period, the history of the prisoner became more important, and the so-called calendar was to go to the government department to do basic work. Historical background has become the only way for prisoners to be born, and if they pass the calendar, they will be promoted and awarded.

In the Chenghua year, there were more and more regular supervisors, and the quality of prisoners dropped sharply, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, even public opinion despised Guozijian, and this highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty became a joke. The style of study is corrupt, and the morale is declining, which is also one of the reasons for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Yuanhua didn't pick out a few agreeable people for a long time in Guozijian, so he had to apply to the emperor to choose among the people.

Sun Yuanhua's application was naturally approved by Zhu Youxiao. It was also this incident that attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention to Guozijian. He decided to deal a heavy hand with Guozi.

"Who is the priest of the country now?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Nan Shizhong, this person is about to be transferred to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites." Wang Liqian replied.

"I'm going to let Liu Zongzhou serve as the priest of the country, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao said.

Liu Zongzhou is known as the last master of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, and is a figure in the palace of Xinxue, who died on hunger strike after the death of the Ming Dynasty. His ideology and doctrine also play the role of inheriting the past and opening up the future. Some scholars in later generations even believed that after Liu Zongzhou's death from hunger strike, the lifeblood of the Chinese nation and the lifeblood of Chinese culture had a crisis, and this crisis has continued to this day.

But let Liu Zongzhou serve as the priest of the country, and Zhu Youxiao was worried that he would try his best to obstruct his new policy, so he was very hesitant. But Guozijian needs drastic reforms, and Liu Zongzhou is undoubtedly a very suitable person.

"This ...... Liu Zongzhou was cut down and returned to his hometown because of the impeachment of Wei Wei and the Hakka family, and he was talented, but he was old-fashioned. Wang Liqian didn't know how to answer, he didn't know what Zhu Youxiao meant at all.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "First pass Liu Zongzhou to see the driver." Zhu Youxiao decided to see him first.

"No, Your Majesty has one more matter, Dongchang will report that Guiying will enter Beijing in three days." Wang Liqian said softly.

"So soon, let him dry first, and report his itinerary at any time." Zhu Youxiao said.

……

The makeshift stage of the Royal Academy of Arts has been set up after three days, and this performance of "Mourning for the Heavenly King" is a condensed version, but it has little impact on the quality of the opera.

In this day and age, there are not many ways to entertain, and opera can be considered the most popular show. And this time the opera performance is specially for the royal performance, you can imagine how big the impact is, and the empty alleys of thousands of people are not enough to describe this grand occasion.

The performance is held every afternoon and is only performed for three consecutive days.

"Xiaoyi, hurry up, they are all gone, and they won't be able to occupy a place if they don't go."

"Xiaoyu, don't worry, there's still more than half an hour." Xiaoyi said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, do you see that there are still people in the alley? Everyone goes, if you don't leave, I'll go first! Xiaoyu urged.

"Wait for me, wait for me, I'll be fine right away." Xiaoyi said.

When the two came to the performance venue, they found that the entire performance venue was already full of people, and they could only stand outside the venue to watch, not to mention hearing the people on the stage at such a distance, even the faces could not be seen clearly, the only thing they could see was the back of their heads.

"You, you said come early, you see, now even the trees are full of people." Xiaoyu complained.

"Let's squeeze in." Xiaoyi said.

"How squeezed, don't you see the Jinyi guards everywhere?" Xiaoyu said angrily.

In order to maintain order and ensure the safety of the cast and crew, Jinyiwei originally only mobilized ten people, but when he arrived at the scene, he found that the number of people was not enough at all, and then hundreds of people were mobilized.

"I'll come over tomorrow after breakfast and take a seat to see who robs me." Xiaoyi said depressedly.

"That's all for today." Xiaoyu also said helplessly.

The two of them could only watch the figures on the stage dance from a distance, of course, they couldn't hear anything clearly, and most of the time they could still see the back of their heads.
