Che Ming was still not executed, although the old man was angry and put him on death row, but he didn't plan to really put him to death, plus the eighth master secretly interceded with someone, and the old man also took advantage of the situation to exempt Che Ming from the death penalty, of course, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is inevitable, the old man issued a clear edict, and Che Ming will be dismissed from office for the people, and he will never be used! This edict, the dark tide of persuading the prince that was still surging in the court stopped, and there was no side, for the people of the time, learning literary and martial arts, just to sell the emperor's family, if it was labeled as never used, that life's efforts can be completely finished, since no one is willing to do so, because of this, no one dares to make a fuss about the establishment of the prince, because Yinren was abolished again and the chaotic court situation is also stable.

On the first day of the seventh month of the 48th year of Kangxi, the old man issued an edict again, approving the dividends proposed by the Eight Banners firm, a total of 9.18 million taels of silver will be distributed to the children of the Eight Banners according to the grade. This edict, the children of the Eight Banners are all cheering, heated discussions, for the next year's dividends have been endless expectations, since no one pays attention to the abolition of the prince, so far, the turmoil of the prince can be regarded as completely exposed.

Although the courtiers did not dare to move on this matter, but in private there was a lot of discussion about whose name was written in the edict hidden behind the plaque in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and there were many versions of speculation, but in general, the third master had the highest popularity, and he was faintly regarded as the hottest candidate. The middle-level officials of the fifth grade, as for the first- and second-rank officials who are extremely popular ministers, have not moved, and it is obvious that the original purpose of the old man not to appoint a prince to reduce the intensity of the party struggle has been basically achieved.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye it is the beginning of September, the rest of the two months, the situation is as stable as water, not to mention the wind and waves, that is, even a bubble has not been raised, the only thing that can be said to be a matter is only one, that is, the third group of the "Eight Banners Firm" voyage fleet full of all kinds of goods and the strong hope of the children of the Eight Banners set sail from Guangzhou and Jiaoao again, with the help of the monsoon and then to the East Ying and the South Sea, and the previous time is slightly different is that the fleet to the East Ying has increased from eighteen to twenty-two, and the number of ships to the South Seas remains the same, It seems that there is not much difference, but in fact, there are hidden mysteries, but only a few people can know what these mysteries are all over the world.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the day was already cool, the Changchun Garden for summer vacation was a little uncomfortable, the old man then returned to the imperial city in early September, but it was obviously a little slack in government affairs, since the end of June and then abolished the prince, the Communist Party has only been on the court four times, even if it has returned to the palace, half a month in a row, has never been to the court, even Zhu Pi folds are much less than in previous years, most of the government affairs are handed over to Zhang Tingyu and other scholars to deal with, as for the affairs of the ministries, it is very rarely asked, It's a big shopkeeper.

As soon as the old man's lazy government came out, the courtiers couldn't help but have some criticism, and even some rumors circulated indiscriminately among the government and the opposition, and there were different opinions, some said that the old man was not safe in the dragon's body, and some said that the old man was **** by the beauty of the harem, so that the king was not early from then on, and the harem successively had more than a dozen new draft girls pregnant The news spread out, which confirmed the notoriety of the old man's addiction to wine, but no matter how the rumors spread among the government and the opposition, Hongqing didn't pay attention to it at all, not for anything else, Just because he knows very well that the old man is not really lazy, but to use this to investigate the ability of the elder brothers to govern, in view of this, Hongqing will not care about those gossip, every day step by step into the school management department, the days are also tight, no, I got up early in the morning today, hurriedly had breakfast, and went straight to the imperial city, entered the palace from Tiananmen Square, and wandered all the way to the upper study, which just turned the screen at the door, and the footsteps couldn't help but be a meal, there was no other, The vice president of Xi Yan, who has always been known for his strictness, has already sat behind the copywriter.

"The student has seen Master Yan."

Yan Jun has always been punctual, and he will definitely not show up when he is not in class, but now he is sitting here so early, which is obviously a little wrong, but at this moment, he can't allow Hongqing to think about it, so he can only take a few quick steps, grab the copy, and salute respectfully.

"Hmm."

Hearing the sound, Yan Jun raised his head, and when he saw that it was Hongqing, he didn't say much, just said noncommittally, and motioned for Hongqing to sit down by himself.

Well? What's the matter, is there something wrong with this guy's eyes?

Hongqing is sensitive by nature, although a strange light in Yan Jun's eyes is just a flash, but Hongqing is extremely keenly aware of it, and can't help muttering in his heart, but there are too few clues, but it is difficult to get anything to speak of, so he simply didn't pay much attention to it, and put the scriptures and other things that should be studied today on the copy, and then quietly waited for the start of the class. All the people did not dare to be as casual as they were on weekdays, and they all sat upright, waiting for the bell on the corner tower of Tiananmen Square to ring.

"When, when, when......"

Chen Shi Zhengpai, the bell rang on time, and all the dragon sons and grandsons who were sitting upright in a fake appearance were in high spirits, and their eyes were all cast on Yan Jun's body, no side, just because Yan Jun's teaching was too strict, except for Hongqing and Hongli, the rest of the brothers were not less punished by Yan Jun, even if they were the fattest old sixteen, they were also afraid of Yan Jun.

"Ahem, what I learned today, the general outline of "University", Hongli!"

When the bell rang, Yan Jun did not check the homework of the previous class first as in the past, but faked a cough, cleared his throat slightly, and pointed out the questions he had studied today, and then raised his voice to point out the name of Hongli.

"The students are here."

Hearing Yan Jun's roll call, Hongli, who was sitting upright in his seat, didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got up, and respectfully hugged his fists and agreed.

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem, what does this Master Yan want to do?

Yan Jun often let Hongli read in the past, and at the beginning of the time, he pointed out Hongli's name, and everyone didn't think it was strange, this time Hongli had stood up, and everyone also opened the scriptures, ready to follow the recitation, Hongqing is no exception, the difference is that Hongqing faintly felt that today's morning class must be strange, but for a while, he couldn't guess where the root was, and his brows inadvertently wrinkled slightly.

"Have you ever studied "University"?"

Everyone was ready to read along, but Yan Jun did not let Hongli read it directly as usual, but asked casually.

"If you return to Master Yan, the student has indeed studied this scripture."

"University" is one of the four books and five classics, for the Confucian children of the compulsory course, Hongli has been in this study for more than two years, this scripture has long been very familiar, this time to hear Yan Jun such a question, I can't help but be quite suspicious, but I didn't think about it, and hurriedly replied.

"Well, can you carry it?"

Yan Jun was obviously extremely satisfied with Hongli's respectful attitude, nodded approvingly, and then continued to ask.

"Yes."

At this time, Hongli still couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Yan Jun's gourd, but no matter what, Hongli didn't dare to be rude, although he muttered in his heart, he responded respectfully in his mouth.

"Well, that's all right."

Yan Jun glanced at Hongli and commanded quietly.

"Yes, the student obeys."

Although he didn't know why, Yan Jun had an order, and Hongli didn't dare to disobey it, so he respectfully responded to the promise, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and recited melodiously: "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." Knowing and then deciding; Calm and then be quiet; Quiet and then peaceful; Calm and then be able to think; After thinking about it, you can get ......"

The general outline of the "University" is not too long, only more than 300 words, although the speed of Hongli's recitation is not fast, but it is the time of a cup of tea is the end of the whole text, there is not the slightest error, whether it is the reading of the sentence or the scripture itself, are accurate, it is obvious that Hongli has worked the scriptures.

"Good, although it is good to be able to memorize the whole text, it must be able to understand it, which is the foundation of the study of the text, is it possible?"

Although he had known Hongli's erudition for a long time, he could really hear Hongli recite the scriptures so familiarly, Yan Jun's always flat and serious face still showed a smile of appreciation, but seeing that he nodded kindly, he asked again.

"If you go back to the strict teacher, the students can barely do it."

Without knowing Yan Jun's true intentions, Hongli didn't dare to say too much, so he replied humbly.

"That's good, today's lesson will be based on the solution of the general outline, and see who can express the true meaning of the general outline in the most concise words, so you can come first."

Yan Jun nodded quietly and opened today's topic.

"Yes, the student obeys."

As soon as he heard Yan Jun's question, Hongli didn't dare to slack off, first respectfully agreed, and then groaned slightly, and slowly said: "Yan Shi Mingjian, the student thinks that the eight words can be interpreted in the whole text, and it should be Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world!" ”

"Well said!"

As soon as Hongli's words fell, a cheer had risen, but it was not from Yan Jun's mouth, but from the screen......
