CHAPTER XVII

I have realized my gaffe, and I obediently sat back in my seat at the moment, in fact, I don't hate life in the palace very much, my aunt and Hao Xi treat me very well, but the palace is restrained, my brother is on an errand in the court from morning to night, I am free in the house alone, where do I want to go back?!

"Your Highness, just ......" Although my brother was a little worried, he also understood that this was not the time to think about family matters, so he turned to speak, I guessed that he was going to mention what had just happened, and I was worried that he would say what I had just said, so I immediately stepped on him, and he immediately understood, and then said: "There are many things that have not been discussed just now, and there are still some things that need to be decided by His Highness." ”

I don't know if Ling Haoxuan noticed my small movements, he looked at me deeply, then looked at my brother and said, "Master Su, please speak." ”

My brother immediately clarified the categories of college courses we had just mentioned, and seeing that the attention of the three of them had shifted to these, I sat quietly on the side.

"The curriculum can be set up in Guozi Studies, Tai Studies, Four Studies, Law Studies, Calligraphy and Arithmetic, which are taught by Mr. Tai Academy." Ling Haoxuan frowned for a long time and spoke.

"You can also teach some art of war and martial arts, and now most of the generals in the court are inherited from generation to generation, and it is difficult to form a system." Ling Haoqian gently put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and opened his mouth to add.

"This is naturally the best, and excellent generals and professors can be selected in the army, so that they have both theory and actual combat experience." Ling Haoxuan looked at him with agreement and added.

"There are also specialties such as medicine, astronomical calendars, and weapons manufacturing. Although there have been special channels for these in the past, after all, they are very useful and it is best to add them if possible. I listened attentively and spoke unconsciously.

The atmosphere around seemed to freeze suddenly, and then, everyone who was interested in the same did not interrupt, and continued to listen to me: "I think it can be divided into different school systems, after all, it is the time to employ people, according to the qualifications and expertise of students, divided into different shifts, set up different class hours, so that you can replenish blood to the court in time, and it is also convenient for talent rotation." ”

"What Miss Su said is very true, and these should naturally be taken into account." After I finished speaking, Ling Haoxuan nodded silently.

I raised my eyes and smiled, and looked into his eyes, full of tenderness.

The early spring days are short, and a trace of the remnant sun is drowned behind the distant mountains in an instant. My brother talked excitedly with Ling Haoxuan and Ling Haoqian, and he was fascinated by what he said, and he listened even more fascinated. The burning lamp and candle crackled, and the three of them didn't even notice it, sometimes sighing, sometimes laughing.

I instructed the maid to light up four yarn lamps in the four corners of the study, boil strong tea, and finally had a little warmth in the cold night, I turned my head to look at the silent figure in front of the desk, compared to the excitement of my brother and Ling Haoxuan, his words were obviously much less, most of the time just sat there quietly, and said a word or two from time to time in a critical place, the lights shone on his slender figure, and a halo was laid on his handsome face, his eyes were deep, his complexion was extremely white, and he was dressed in a moon-white warm cloud pattern gown, It looks handsome and dusty in the light. As if sensing that I was looking at him, he turned his eyes to me with a lazy smile in his eyes.

My heart jumped, and I dodged at once, only to feel that my face was red and hot, and it was like a flame, and it rushed to my neck, and then my heart jumped wildly, and I did not dare to look around, but sat quietly aside. However, after this look-at-a-kind, I could always detect a sight falling on me, and it was really difficult to sit still, so I raised my feet and walked to the front yard, and when I reached the corridor, I thought about it and stopped, called Huaibi, and ordered: "There are two highnesses here, this night is probably over, you go and see, send some delicious food, and wait for them to rest." ”

"Why isn't Miss in there?" Huaibi blinked, teasing me for a long time, and before I could fight back, he floated away: "The slave knows it, and she will definitely serve me well." ”

"Dead girl!" I blushed and scolded, thinking that I was funny, and finally looked in the direction of Huailu Hall and left silently.

No one thought that this chat, it was a candle all night, and the next day the red sun was in the window, I finally stepped into the Huailu Hall again, next to the desk, the three of them leaned back on the chair, their eyes were red and their faces were blue, but their expressions were excited and excited, and they were not tired, and the snacks on the table were placed there as they were, and it seemed that they were so focused that they forgot to eat last night. I sighed softly and reminded helplessly: "Your Highnesses, the time has passed, it's time to have breakfast." ”

The three of them were stunned, looking blankly at the morning light outside the window, Ling Haoxuan turned his eyes to look at me, he didn't look haggard at all after a night's sleep, but the stubble was faintly visible, but it was a little more mature, and when he saw me looking at him, he chuckled: "It's already morning, don't bother, it's disturbing Miss's rest!"

I shook my head slightly, how could I not know the importance of what they were talking about, and instructed the maid to put some small dishes and rice porridge, and said with a smile: "There is nothing good to entertain the two highnesses, I have been busy all night, I don't dare to prepare some greasy things, I only made small dishes and rice porridge, and I hope that the two highnesses will not dislike it." ”

"It's already hard to disturb, how can you let the young lady bother to work!" Ling Haoqian raised his eyes to look at me.

I didn't dare to look back, just lowered my eyes and smiled, walked to the side, helped Huaibi put down the dishes on the tray together, and sat quietly on the side.

And what I don't know is that a casual joke is put into practice at the fastest speed, the imperial city's fast horse envoy and the emperor's personal issuance of the talent order like a meteor, north to the original, south to Lancheng, east out of Huai'an, west into Minzhou, scattered to the major cities. Within a few days, the news of the emperor's thirst for talent spread among the students in the famous mountains and rivers in the city and countryside, and it became more exciting news than the autumn festival every year.

The difference here is that the autumn festival aims to promote culture, although it will also select individual people of insight to become officials, but there are very few people who can go out of school and enter the office through this way, and today's Zhenglin Academy is hand-picked by the emperor, His Royal Highness King Rui personally operated, the Ministry of Shangshu served as the head of the academy, and there are erudite Confucianism, the court Qinggui personally taught, it is conceivable that after graduation will inevitably be in the phase, how not to make people excited? After all, studying is not for the purpose of applying it to the world, and to enter the WTO with knowledge to achieve the purpose of making meritorious contributions. Now, the merit order is a dazzling fire, spreading all over the world when the ice and snow melt.

The moonlit night was silent, the cold wind was lonely, and only the light breeze brought the rustle of leaves. I sat silently by the lake, the lake level was so quiet and picturesque, no one thought that my unintentional words would take root so quickly, and even, when I heard that the academy had been built from Weishan, I was shocked.

Oh, yes! Where is there a stronger execution than the prince! And I can also see Ling Haoxuan's imperial heart from this, and see his eagerness to seek talents. It's just that I didn't expect that his thoughts would not be concealed at all, does he really not care that my brother and I are the queen's nephews?

The lake was bright in the distance, and there was a faint sound of footsteps, breaking the silence of this moment.

"Ruo'er, are you here?"

The elder brother walked briskly, with a faint hint of alcohol.

"Why did my brother come back so late?" I glanced at him and patted the grass next to me.

He sighed softly, picked up the robe in his hand and put it on my body: "Carefully catch a cold, although the sun is good during the day, it is a little cool at night. ”

I tightened my neckline and nodded slightly.

"Brother, but you're coming back from King Rui's Mansion?" I leaned on my lap and turned my head to look at him.

He nodded and said with a smile: "The academy has already been built, it was originally the manor of King Rui, and it was changed into a academy after a little repair. His Royal Highness specially selected the gentleman from the Tai Academy, and selected a few talents from the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Engineering to teach coursework, and also invited a few Confucians from the people, now, can you rest assured? ”

I glanced at him, "What do I have to worry about?!" ”

He looked at me with a smile on his face, full of incomprehensibility.

I looked at him inexplicably and said, "What's your expression?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Rui asked me to convey this." He looked at me with a smile: "I've relayed the original text!" ”

I was stunned, and a bad premonition faintly arose in my heart: "Why are you telling me?!" What does this have to do with me! ”

He saw that I was faintly angry, sighed faintly, and said, "I know that you don't have any thoughts about His Royal Highness King Rui, but he does mind your thoughts very much. And ......"

He hesitated slightly.

I glanced at him, and he had to speak: "He invited you to go to the academy tomorrow to have a look, now the news of enrollment has been spread by the government offices, tomorrow is the day of registration, according to the meaning of His Royal Highness King Rui, the opening ceremony of the academy will not be held separately, directly set on the first day of registration, so it is more lively, he knows that you love to be lively, and wants you to go and see it together." ”

I was stunned and reflexively shook my head, "I'm not going, I don't understand this." ”

"This academy was your idea, how could you not understand it!" He smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "His Royal Highness King Rui is a rare and wise person, don't blindly avoid him." ”

I was a little angry: "What do you mean by that?" I don't take his money, why should I go and work for him! ”

The second brother was choked by me and laughed, and said, "I have already brought the words, it is up to you whether to go or not!" He got up and patted the dirt on his body, took a few steps, and suddenly stopped again, and said, "Tomorrow, His Royal Highness King Jing will also go with him." ”

The clear shadow seemed to suddenly break into my heart, I hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay! ”

I finally agreed, but he was slightly stunned, looked at me deeply for a while, and finally didn't say anything more......

Zhenglin Academy has become the first academy in Tianyu at the fastest speed, not because it is appointed by the emperor, nor is it managed by King Rui, nor is it the head of the academy by the official department Shangshu, but because it gathers talented people from all over the world, regardless of aristocracy and poor families, only select people with outstanding knowledge.

Everyone knows that the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, the officials of the six ministries teach in person, and once they are enrolled, even if they have no qualifications, relying on the various relationships between them alone, it is enough to mix up in this life. Therefore, as soon as the news of Zhenglin Academy's enrollment came out, not only did the children of the poor families have a channel to fulfill their wishes, but even the nobles of the family also yearn for it, who would be afraid of having more relationships?! Besides, even if there are some doors, how many people have such deep doors?! As a result, all the scholars in the world sharpened their heads and drilled in.
