Chapter 753: Helpless Help

More than half an hour later, just as Li Yuntian was absentmindedly looking at the official document in his hand, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Chief instructor, female officers Nuo Min and Li Hui were ordered to wait for Miss Liu Zhen to come and report." Soon, a crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he looked up at the door.

Immediately, three handsome women wearing black martial arts hall student uniforms walked in side by side, all of them heroic and sassy, with outstanding temperament.

Walking in the middle is Liu Zhen, on the left is Nomin, and on the right is Keiko Yamaguchi, because it is inconvenient for Keiko Yamaguchi to use a Japanese surname, so Li Yuntian named her "Li Hui".

I haven't seen her for a few years, and Keiko Yamaguchi has become a beautiful girl, and later Li Yuntian learned that when he saw Keiko Yamaguchi in Hangzhou Mansion, Keiko Yamaguchi was actually eleven years old, but she looked younger because of malnutrition.

With the improvement of her diet over the years, Keiko Yamaguchi has grown quickly, and although she is only fifteen years old, she already looks like a girl of eighteen or nineteen.

Thanks to Emperor Xuande's kindness, Jiangwutang began to recruit female students at the beginning of this year, called female officials, and after graduation, they will be assigned to serve in the subordinate industries of Jiangwutang, mainly engaged in secretarial work, and they are more patient than male students.

However, since there was no precedent for women to enter official schools in the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian wanted to avoid trouble, so the first batch of female students were selected from the children of the military families of the Jiangwutang in the Gyeonggi area.

As a result, Nomin and Keiko Yamaguchi were able to become one of the first two hundred female students of the Shobudo, and they were also assigned to a dormitory so that they could take care of each other.

Unlike the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was very lenient about women's education, and Empress Xu, the wife of the Yongle Emperor, was also committed to women's education, strongly advocating that women go to school.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the education system and institutions have been relatively perfect, but there is no official women's school, and in ancient times, due to the emphasis on men and women, women could not study in the official schools dominated by men in various places, and could only study private schools.

Since there are very few books for women to read, Empress Xu decided to compile a book suitable for women, so she collected "Female Constitution" and "Female Commandments" and combined with some remarks of Empress Xiaohui Ma, such as "Seeking wisdom and admonishment, prudence is the same as the beginning", "The law is more likely to be harmful, and the law is evil; The number of people will be troubled, and the people will be in trouble", "the people are self-respecting, and the virtuous should be kind", etc., and made 20 articles of "Internal Training", the main content of which involves virtue, self-cultivation, prudence, prudence, etc.

At the beginning of the "Internal Training", the principle of leniency and moderation in the education of children and grandchildren was proposed, pointing out that "the original is loving, and the punishment is strict." Kindness will not be appeased, and strictness will not hurt kindness", and his experience in the education of children and grandchildren was also written in the book.

In addition, Empress Xu also sent people to collect the good words and good deeds of the ancients extensively, and compiled a collection called "The Book of Persuasion". Emperor Yongle was deeply satisfied with this, so he ordered the promulgation of the world.

Li Yuntian took "Internal Training" and "Persuasion Book" as the basic subjects of the Wutang Women's School, and then added professional subjects, which constituted the education system of the Women's School.

Because it was the first time to wear the standard military uniform of the martial arts, Liu Zhen seemed very unaccustomed, but it felt very strange, this strange costume was not only easy to pass on, but also perfectly outlined her beautiful figure, but the wind buckle at her neck was not fastened like Nomin and Keiko Yamaguchi because of the neck injury.

Compared with Nuo Min with a faint smile on her face, Keiko Yamaguchi's expression seemed very calm, since she came to the capital, she had been living in Li Yuntian's mansion for more than three years, and she had always been very low-key, not smiling, silent, and following Lei Ting and Zhou Yuting to learn swordsmanship, and disguised herself as a man to listen to the lecture in the martial arts hall.

Li Yuntian did not ask about Keiko Yamaguchi's identity, it was obvious that Keiko Yamaguchi didn't want to reveal her past, and he was not interested in Keiko Yamaguchi's past, anyway, Keiko Yamaguchi couldn't hide it for a lifetime, he could see that Keiko Yamaguchi had a very heavy heart, and sooner or later he would confess the past to himself.

"Lord Guogong, Xia Guan has just returned from a visit to the palace, so I have waited here for a long time, and I hope that Lord Guogong will atone for his sins." It didn't take long for Li Yuntian to smile and chat with Nuo Min about the life of female officials in the martial arts hall, and when Liu Zhen and Keiko Yamaguchi were sitting a little cramped, an old man in an official robe came in at the door, arched his hand to Li Yuntian and said, followed by two medical officers from the Tai Hospital who were carrying medicine boxes on their backs.

The old man was Imperial Physician Liu, his eyes were red, his expression was haggard, and he looked very tired.

"There's Lao Liu's doctor." Seeing this, the corners of Li Yuntian's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but then he returned to normal, and bowed slightly to Imperial Doctor Liu disapprovingly.

After checking the injury on Liu Zhen's neck, Imperial Doctor Liu bandaged her again, and instructed Liu Zhen to take some precautions, and then got up to say goodbye, if he followed his diagnosis and treatment requirements, Liu Zhen's neck would not leave a scar that affected the appearance.

"Chief instructor, has the emperor's condition worsened?" After Imperial Physician Liu yawned and left, Nuo Min couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Li Yuntian in a low voice.

When outsiders were present, Nuo Min called Li Yuntian "chief instructor", and in private, she called Li Yuntian "Xianggong" like Lei Ting, after all, she was also Li Yuntian's wife.

"Oh?" Li Yuntian didn't expect Nuo Min to ask this question, so he looked at her with a smile, "How do you know?" ”

Imperial Physician Liu's specialty is surgical injuries, and it is obvious that Emperor Xuande's illness requires an internal medicine physician, so it seems that Imperial Physician Liu has no connection with Emperor Xuande's.

"Imperial Physician Liu looked tired and looked like he had worked hard for a long time, but the clothes on his body were clean and tidy without the slightest blood stain, which meant that he did not treat people in the palace."

Nuo Min groaned for a while, and said to Li Yuntian in a coquettish voice, "If you can let Imperial Doctor Liu wait in the palace for a long time, then only the emperor who is not safe in the dragon body." ”

When Li Yuntian heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a smile of approval, Nuo Min's analysis was very correct, although Emperor Xuande had an internal disease, but once his condition changed, then those doctors in the Tai Hospital with superb medical skills and deep qualifications, whether they were internal medicine or surgery, would have to wait in the palace to conduct the highest level of consultation in the Ming Dynasty in order to come up with the best treatment plan.

Subsequently, Li Yuntian's eyes were full of gloomy looks, which meant that Emperor Xuande's condition was very bad, he and Emperor Xuande had tacitly cooperated over the years, and there was both the righteousness of the monarch and the love of friendship between the two, so he didn't want Emperor Xuande to have an accident in public or private.

Fortunately, it seems that Emperor Xuande is in danger this time, otherwise Imperial Doctor Liu would definitely not seem so relaxed, and Li Yuntian and other important ministers of the imperial court have already been urgently summoned to the palace to wait.

Liu Zhen and Keiko Yamaguchi's eyes suddenly showed shocked expressions when they heard this, the two of them were far away from the court, so they didn't know that Emperor Xuande was sick, and they never thought that Emperor Xuande's condition would be so serious.

In fact, in addition to those close ministers around Emperor Xuande, the other ministers in the court did not know the extent of Emperor Xuande's illness, after all, not all ministers could have the honor to attack and serve by Emperor Xuande's side.

"These days, you will live in the female officer's dormitory in the lecture hall first, and you can heal your injuries with peace of mind." Li Yuntian quickly recovered from Emperor Xuande's illness, he knew that now was not the time to be sad, so he smiled and said to Liu Zhen, it was obvious that he could not show his face again until Liu Zhen's injury was healed.

"Lord Xie Guogong." Liu Zhen bowed to Li Yuntian when she heard this, her face showed a relaxed look, to be honest, she was very interested in the women's college in the martial arts hall, and wanted to know about the operation of the first government-run women's college in Daming.

"Lord Guogong, the people have something to say to Lord Guogong, I don't know if it is convenient for Lord Guogong." Nomin and Keiko Yamaguchi then led Liu Zhen to the women's dormitory in the lecture hall, and when they walked to the door, Liu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then stopped and turned around and said to Li Yuntian, who was sitting behind the desk and was about to look through the official documents.

"Let's go out for a walk, after staying in the house for a long time, it's time to move your body." Li Yuntian felt a little surprised, but seeing that Liu Zhen looked like he wanted to say something, he quickly felt something, so he got up and moved his neck, took off the military coat hanging on the hanger on the side and walked out of the door.

Seeing this, Liu Zhen hurriedly followed, and Nomin smiled at Keiko Yamaguchi and stayed in the room to wait for Li Yuntian and Liu Zhen to come back.

"You still have the habit of living in the capital, right?" Li Yuntian and Liu Zhen walked in the moonlit and cold courtyard, the two of them were lonely and speechless along the way, several guards followed from a distance, and when they arrived at a remote rockery, Li Yuntian took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field and asked with a smile.

Both of them are wrapped in Jiangwutang's black military coats, and now Jiangwutang has been able to mass-produce military coats made of cotton cloth, which are stuffed with cotton regiments with very good warmth and have gradually begun to change their outfits in the local troops and Xiaowu troops of the Liaodong Military Region and the Shanbei Military Region.

"Hmm." Liu Zhen smiled at Li Yuntian when he heard this, "Originally, I thought that Seoul was big enough, but when I came to Beijing City, I realized that I used to sit in a well and watch the sky, but I didn't expect Beijing City to be so huge and magnificent. ”

"I heard that Nanjing City is more magnificent than Beijing, and I really want to see it." Saying that, Liu Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

"The emperor has decided to expand the city, and in a few years the size of Beijing will be five or six times the size of the current city, and it will become the first city in the world." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and revealed a message to Liu Zhen.

"How much does it cost?" Liu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Li Yuntian with a stunned expression, she really couldn't imagine the grand scene after the expansion of Beijing City several times.

"The expansion of the city is not an overnight thing, the Ming Dynasty has now pacified the Jiaozhi rebels in the south, and defeated the remnants of the Northern Yuan in the north, the society is stable and prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and a new capital will be expanded within 20 years." Li Yuntian smiled and said disapprovingly, with the current economic development speed of the Ming Dynasty, the expansion project of Beijing City can definitely be completed.

"Lord Guogong, before the people's daughter came to the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness summoned the people's daughter into the palace and gave the people's daughter the position of the official of the father's brother's hall."

Liu Zhen had been shocked by the news revealed by Li Yuntian at this time, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty was beyond the reach of the Korean Kingdom, so he hesitated for a moment and bit his lip and said to Li Yuntian, "His Royal Highness wants the people to find out from Lord Guogong how the Ming Dynasty will treat our country." ”

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he heard this, he had already guessed that Liu Zhen was going to tell him about this, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to be alone with him.

Of course, Yoo Jin didn't want to get information from him, but felt very helpless about the request of the king of Joseon, and asked him for help because of the attack.

"The maiden just wants to know how to reply to His Highness the Lord." Liu Zhen's bright eyes flashed and smiled at Li Yuntian.

"Emperor Taizu once set fifteen countries that would not be conquered, as long as the king of Joseon can keep his own peace and fulfill his duties, then the Ming Dynasty will recuperate in these years and will not start a war lightly."

Li Yuntian saw that Liu Zhen had pushed the problem onto himself again, so he smiled and said meaningfully, "Besides, the North Korean country is cold, the land is barren, and the people's livelihood is withering. ”

"The maiden knows how to reply to His Highness." Liu Zhen's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of surprise, no wonder Li Yuntian wanted to reveal to her that Daming was preparing to expand the imperial city, it turned out that Daming would recuperate in the future, and naturally he would not start a war lightly, so it seemed that Li Yuntian had guessed her intentions, and then Liu Zhen came back to his senses, smiled slightly and said to Li Yuntian in a coquettish voice.

In fact, Liu Zhen doesn't care about how the Ming Dynasty treats the Korean Kingdom, she is a prostitute born in the Shengdou Xiaomin can't reach this kind of military affairs at all, plus the Korean Kingdom is a vassal state with a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is respected as the Heavenly Empire, the people of the Korean Kingdom are quite yearning for the Ming Dynasty, and some people even call themselves "Ming Korea" after their deaths.

Therefore, if the Korean Kingdom can be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, it will also be a blessing for the people of the Korean Kingdom.

However, this is not a good thing for Liu Zhen, the reason why her father and brother were exceptionally promoted to the rank of court official by the king of Joseon is precisely because the king of Joseon took a fancy to the close relationship between her and Li Yuntian, and then left his father and brother as hostages to threaten, if the Ming Dynasty attacked the kingdom of Joseon, then the king of Joseon would definitely kill them without hesitation.

Fortunately, Liu Zhen still has Li Yuntian to rely on, if Da Ming really attacked the Korean Kingdom, then she believes that Li Yuntian will definitely not save her to death, and with Li Yuntian's talent, he will definitely be able to find a way to rescue her father and brother.
