As soon as Zhu Youzhen mentioned the need to implement new-style education and establish new-style schools, and even to convene a court meeting for this, Song Yingxing, Fang Yizhi, and other officials who were keen on the development of sacred science, that is, natural science, could not help but be greatly excited, as if they saw in a trance that a new era was coming.

And in this new era, people are no longer talking about the way of the sages and sages, but also about the study of things related to the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon.

Zhu Youzhen also had some discussions with the scientific research frontier personnel of the Ming Dynasty at the military industrial base, and even decisively suspended some topics that wasted manpower, material and financial resources, determined to consolidate the basic education and basic research of the Ming Dynasty at the cost of this.

It wasn't until nightfall that Zhu Youzhen left the military base and returned to the Forbidden City.

Zhu Youjian walked to Jingren Palace by the moonlight.

Among the concubines, Qi Guiren is the woman who haunts him the most, he has always wanted to eat her, but he has never been empty.

Today, he discussed for a long time with the officials of the military industrial base, which made him seem to see a brighter future for Daming, which made him feel very good, so he thought about taking advantage of this time to take down Qi Guiren directly.

"Aifei, why don't you make good tea to eat?"

repulsed the accompanying officials, Zhu Youzhen did not let them shout that His Majesty had arrived, but walked inside while undressing his coat, but saw Xu Zhaohua, Qi Deqian, and Zhu Yujiao playing and playing.

Zhu Yujiao didn't know why she and Xu Zhaohua moved her hand to grab Xu Zhaohua's placket and pull it out, but pulled out a crystal pendant:

"Sister Zhaohua, who gave it to you, such a beautiful crystal pendant, you hide it so tightly, is it your sweetheart?"

"What nonsense!"

Xu Zhaohua was flustered for a while, and hurriedly hid the crystal pendant in it, secretly thinking in his heart that it was good that the queen didn't see it, otherwise this misunderstanding would be big.

Zhu Youzhen saw it, and was slightly stunned in his heart, and walked over: "Changping, you go back first." ”

"Yes, father", Zhu Yujiao could see that her father's face was not good, so she obediently left here.

"Erchen also retired", Xu Zhaohua also left here.

Zhu Youzhen just nodded.

Qi Guiren didn't understand why as soon as His Majesty came, the whole air became so quiet, and she seemed to sense that something was wrong, and stood up consciously: "Your Majesty! ”

"Serve the food, I'm hungry!"

Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath and sat down.

Looking at Xu Zhaohua and Zhu Yujiao, who were still whispering and laughing outside the house, he didn't know whether he should believe that he saw this scene in front of him.

Are they really innocent daughters?

After eating for a while, Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, and Qi Guiren didn't speak, she only felt that today's majesty was different from the past, and she felt inexplicably afraid.

"Why are you still stunned, why don't you come over quickly!"

Zhu Youzhen suddenly shouted and slapped him on the couch.

Qi Guiren couldn't help but tremble, and then walked over tremblingly: "Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty command?" ”

Zhu Youzhen frantically pulled Qi Guiren directly into his arms, and then pressed directly on the collapse, while Qi Guiren was so frightened that he directly closed his eyes and trembled.

Zhu Youzhen felt bored when he saw this, and said, "It's boring!" And he fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen ordered someone to call Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang.

"I remember that Dongchang reported before that the envoy of the Korean State went to Nanjing to present a gift to the queen, and there were two crystal pendants on the gift list?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"There is a return to Your Majesty, but our people say that when she returned to Beijing, the queen gave this thing to King Hui and King Yong."

Wang Chengen didn't know why, as soon as his words fell, His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen in front of him was already frosty, and he was so frightened that he couldn't do it, and he was afraid of disaster.

Zhu Youzhen was indeed quite shocked in his heart, but then he just smiled slightly:

"It's good, it's good, I didn't see it, I didn't see it!"

Wang Chengen didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor suddenly said that it was good, but he didn't dare to ask more, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen waving his hand to let him retreat, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he retreated.

On that day, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen stayed in the Qianqing Palace, did not see anyone and did not summon any concubines to sleep.

……

In an inconspicuous Fengyue place outside the Daming Gate in the capital, a few stunners were laughing with a few men outside, and there were only two people in the room except for a lamp.

Both men were silent.

After the wax oil ticked and fell on the lampstand, one or two of the old men with white sideburns and thin physique spoke:

"There is news from the palace that His Majesty has lost his temper in Jingren Palace today."

"Jingren Palace is the bedroom of the Qi nobles, who doesn't know why His Majesty favors the Qi nobles the most, why he lost his temper in Jingren Palace."

Another old man wearing a watermelon hat and stroking his black beard and belly asked with some surprise.

"This is not important, the important thing is that Qi Guiren and Xu Suitang of the celebrant supervisor have always had the best relationship with their cousins, and Xu Suitang's father is the eldest son of the emperor, I believe that Your Majesty will not lose his temper for no reason, as an emperor, he is not manic because of the jealousy of women, probably because of the emperor's eldest son and his party, although we don't know what provoked Your Majesty, but this may undoubtedly be the best opportunity for Gao Hongtu not to get the position of the first assistant of the cabinet."

The thin old man laughed after speaking, and seemed to be in a good mood, and his cloudy eyes could not hide his joy.

"Well, is it, but could it be that you think too much, Gao Hongtu has been favored by His Majesty recently, and it is said that even King Hui and King Yong were affirmed by His Majesty yesterday."

As soon as the pot-bellied old man asked, the thin old man stared at him with a frosty face: "You are always so hesitant!" Whether it's or not, you have to try it to know, I have a plan to throw a stone and ask for directions, you find your trusted imperial history, and report this matter. ”

As he spoke, the thin old man handed over a piece of newspaper: "It has begun to circulate in the market, you can take a look, the writing is good, comparable to the words of the golden bottle 0 plum." ”

"When the first assistant night royal eighteen daughters, the prostitute 0 laughed and shocked the neighbors!"

The pot-bellied old man read the first sentence, then looked at it carefully, and couldn't help asking, "Is it true?" ”

"Do you think that he has such good physical strength in the old state of Gao Hongtu, whether he is true or not, His Majesty's willingness to believe it is true, and His Majesty's unwillingness to believe it is false."

……

The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, looking at the endless sky outside the window covered with thick clouds, Zhu Youzhen doesn't know what to say to himself.

The vast number of beings in this empire has always been not so simple, over the years, I have killed many people, and I have reused many people, there are not many people who put their hearts into their hearts, and there are not a few people who rely on their arms, but sometimes people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and it still seems a little simple to explain this world by the supremacy of interests.

"Your Majesty, the day of the Inner Court has arrived, and Xu Zhaohua has been promoted to the master of ceremonies, I wonder if Your Majesty still has any objections?" At this time, He Xin walked over.
