Princess Rongshou was bowing her head and didn't answer, and Zai Yan stepped in from outside the door and laughed heartily: "It's so cool in this room!" ”

As soon as I raised my eyes and saw Zaiyan, I hurriedly took out the silk and strode over to help him wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, "It's hot outside," and then asked Ying'er to take a silk coat and put it on for Zaiyan, "The prince of Wang Shang is really, and he actually wears brocade clothes for the emperor on such a hot day!" As he spoke, he was about to go out and call Wang Shang in, but Zai Yan immediately raised his hand to stop me, "That's it, it's not a big deal, and besides, haven't I changed my clothes now?" ”

I looked at Zai Yan twice, and then I was willing to spare Wang Shang.

Then, Zai Yan walked to the back room, "Yo! The two of them were playing chess! ”

Princess Rongshou saluted and said with a smile: "What a game of chess!" It's been a long time coming! ”

I laughed, "The slave was drinking sweet soup with the eldest princess just now!" ”

Zai Xiang asked, "What sweet soup?" ”

Ying'er listened to the sound and quit in a hurry.

I laughed, "It's just a sweet soup made with wine, who knew that the eldest princess wouldn't be able to stop eating it." ”

Zai Yan sat sideways on the couch and said: "In the hot summer, it's better to eat less wine-stuffed sweet soup, otherwise it will be poisonous sores!" ”

Princess Rongshou frowned and said, "Why do you say that!" Isn't it trying to scare me? ”

Ying'er brought in a bowl and carefully placed it on the table.

Zai Yan picked up the spoon and scooped it, and said with a smile: "But it's okay, then call the Tai Hospital with a stick of rotten powder to use, and it will be fine in a few days, but the wound is more painful." ”

Princess Rongshou hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's scary to listen to, I won't eat it anymore." ”

Everyone laughed.

Que'er immediately moved a round stool, I turned around and sat on it, my arms propped up on the table, my eyes fell on Zaiyan, and asked lightly: "The emperor is in a good mood today, but everything is up to the top?" ”

Zai Yan sighed and slowly put down the spoon in his hand, "Don't mention it!" How can I be able to fulfill my heart one day! The ministers shouted every day that I would be long live, but I was thankful that I could live to thirty! ”

I frowned and hurriedly said, "The emperor is not allowed to talk nonsense!" Long live the emperor! ”

Zai Yan exhaled again.

Princess Rongshou tilted her head and said, "Is it so difficult?" However, the emperor's reform and reform methods are very popular among the people and scholars outside the palace! ”

Zai Yan's eyes flashed, and he turned to one side and asked, "Really?" ”

Princess Rongshou nodded, "The people all say that Chen's pros and cons are good governance, and the minions have also seen the "Shiwu Bao", which is very well written, anyway, other minions don't know, but Xiande, Zaigong and Pu Wei heard that they could have the opportunity to travel abroad, and they were all very excited, and they all sighed that they could finally go out to see the world, and there was also the Jingshi University Hall, before the slaves returned to the palace, they heard many people talking on the side of the road, and they went to see it twice before entering the palace, and the people who signed up at the entrance of the school were almost lined up at the entrance of the alley. It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively scene in the capital! ”

Zai Yan asked: "Zai Gong, Pu Wei, are they ready to go?" ”

Princess Rongshou thought for a moment and said, "It's only about these two days!" ”

Zai Yan said "um" and nodded, "What I wanted to do but didn't have a chance to do, they still have a chance." ”

Hearing this, my heart was sour.

Princess Rongshou pursed her lips, and after a moment, she asked again: "I wonder when the Jingshi University Hall will officially open?" ”

Zai Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Today, the court has discussed it, and it will be the end of the year to preside over the opening of the Jingshi University Hall at the earliest." ”

End?

In that case, Zai Yan will definitely not be able to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Normal University Hall!

I sighed softly.

Princess Rongshou smiled: "Don't worry, you can recruit more students!" ”

I smiled faintly and said, "The emperor can't wait for the school to start tomorrow!" The emperor had already written the manuscript for the opening ceremony two days ago. ”

Princess Rongshou was surprised, "The emperor is really diligent." ”

Zai Yan shook his hand lightly and said, "Diligence can make up for it." ”

Princess Rongshou and I couldn't help but look at each other in surprise and smiled: "The emperor is still clumsy? ”

Zai Yan just scooped a spoonful of sweet brew and slowly put it into his mouth, staring at us.

Princess Rongshou smiled: "If the emperor's qualifications are clumsy, what should others say?" ”

Zai Yan said in a shallow voice: "There are countless smart people in the world, I should be humble." ”

After a while, I said in a harmonious voice: "The matter of the Jingshi University Hall is also decided, and the emperor can finally relax for a while." "Counting up, it has only been a few days since Zai Yan was confined to Yingtai, and I really hope that he can put down what he is doing and enjoy the little free life he has left.

Zai Yan said: "Although the matter of the Jingshi University Hall is settled, there are many other things that need to be completed one by one. ”

Princess Rongshou asked curiously: "What other new measures does the emperor have?" ”

Zai Yan said with a smile: "I just met Tan Sitong and Lin Xu in the Qianqing Palace, I have always wanted to abolish the eight shares, change the new chapter of the imperial examination, and the battalions on both sides of the Eight Banners of the edict are half converted to foreign guns, in fact, these ideas, I have mentioned them before, but because of the matter of the Beijing Normal University Hall, I have not taken all the mention of the process for the time being, since the matter of the Beijing Normal University Hall is now almost over, it is time to solve the matter related to the imperial examination and the change of foreign guns, after all, the purpose of my establishment of the Beijing Normal University Hall is to completely change the imperial examination system that does more harm than good today, After the First Sino-Japanese War, I learned from the pain and felt that in addition to some specific factors, it was also imperative for the Qing army to extract the essence of Western equipment. ”

Princess Rongshou became more and more excited: "This relationship is good! ”

It looks like Zai Yan won't let go easily.

That's it!

So, I asked: "Has the emperor ever wondered why Western munitions are being replaced so quickly?" Why does the West import so many interesting things from time to time? ”

Princess Rongshou said: "Yes, before I entered the palace, I also ordered an alarm clock in a small shop outside, and when the time came, it would ring by itself, which was very interesting, and I had never seen it before!" ”

Zai Yan said: "Don't say, there are so many wonderful ideas in the minds of Westerners!" As for the camera that Zhen'er always liked to play with when she first entered the palace, it was the first time I had seen it before! ”

I said helplessly: "It's a pity that it was later taken away by Lafayette." ”

Zai Xiang immediately stared at me with all the soft eyes, as a way to express the regret in his heart.

Suddenly, I smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is an innovation and an invention, because Westerners are not bound by their thoughts, and there are often friendly exchanges between countries. ”

Zai Yan frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "I remember reading a Western book, and the ideas in it are indeed not the same as those of the Qing Dynasty, which can make people's thinking have another kind of development. ”

Princess Rongshou asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Zai Yan thought about it, and then asked Ying'er to take a pile of paper and a pen from the case, and he drew a big circle on the white paper, pushed it in front of Princess Rongshou, and asked her, "What does the eldest princess think of this?" ”

Princess Rongshou looked at it for a long time without knowing why, and finally said on her back: "Circle! He looked at me again and whispered, "Isn't it?" ”

Jae-yan also looked at me.

I laughed, "Naturally, it's not just a circle, Celestia take a look!" ”

Princess Rongshou looked at it for a long time, but still shook her head, "Aren't they all circles when you look horizontally and vertically?" ”

Zai Xiang smiled: "It can be a circle or a full moon. ”

I also laughed, "It can be not only a full moon, but also a mooncake." ”

"It can be not only a moon cake, but also a flatbread. ”

I said, "It can be not only a flatbread, but also a dish." ”

As he spoke, Zai Yan and I couldn't help but smile.

Princess Rongshou pouted and scratched her head, "What! ”

Zai Yan raised his hand and nodded in the direction of Princess Rongshou and said: "It can be seen that this is the drawbacks of the Qing Dynasty imperial examination system today. ”

Princess Rongshou smiled, "Let's talk about it, go around and around, and then it's back to the matter of the imperial examination." ”

Indeed, it all starts with the education system.

I also laughed, "So, the emperor's vision of things is accurate!" ”

Therefore, the next day, Zaiyan issued another edict in the early court, ruling the Zhan Shifu, Tongzheng Division, Dali, Guanglu, Taifu, and Honglu Temples, and merging them into the cabinet, and the Ministry of Rites, Soldiers, and Criminal Departments were also in charge. The edict was revised to establish a new chapter in the imperial examination, starting from the lower department, the township, the meeting, and the year of the examination, and changing the examination strategy. And the battalions on both sides of the Eight Banners were all converted to foreign guns with their semi-reposed.

For a time, the government and the opposition were shaken, and while the ministers were arguing about this matter, there was no shortage of gossiping people in the Forbidden City Palace, and soon, the matter spread all over the palace, up to Ningshou Palace, down to Xin Zheku, there are those who agree with me, such as Ziyu, such as Princess Rongshou, and those who disagree with it, such as Cixi, such as Dunyi Rongqing Imperial Concubine, and more who stand in neutrality, such as Yu Guifei, such as Concubine Jin.
