Zhu Gaoxian read the confession from beginning to end, the three copies were exactly the same, and there was only a slight difference in the place where the handprints were pressed, he folded it up with satisfaction and walked out of the firewood room.

Zhu Gaoxian walked in front, waiting outside to listen to what happened from beginning to end, Zhang Fu, Zhang Ben, Jing Qing and others, their hearts were really mixed.

However, Zhu Gaoxian didn't speak, they couldn't come forward to comfort them, right?

When he returned to the study, Zhu Gaoxian asked the dog to seal all the confessions, and he handed the confession to Zhang Fu, "Arrange the right people to send Zhang Xu back to the capital, these three letters, one with Zhang Xu to my eldest brother, the other two, one to the hand of the king of Yingjun, and one to the emperor in my name." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Fu only felt a great responsibility, he never dreamed that the seemingly simple royal family still had so much dirt hidden.

At night, Zhu Gaoxian wrote a letter to Zhu Di.

"Dad, you should be happy to receive your son's letter, right? My son is thousands of miles away and misses you and my mother very much. When the warship gradually went offshore, the son thought that his father and mother must be standing on a high place and trying to see his son, and the son wanted to cry very much. ”

"Along the way, I couldn't eat well, and it was boring to stay on a warship, and I just lay on the deck and bask in the sun every day. More than ten days ago, my son stayed near the Penghu Islands for two or three days, and my son wrote a letter, I don't know if my father received it? The son laid down the island of Xiaoliuqiu, intending to build a military base there in the future. ”

"Three days ago, my son arrived in Champa, this is really a magical place, fortunately Zhang Fu and they have a stronghold here, otherwise my son would starve to death. The food they eat is actually not smelly and not eaten, and the wine they drink is delicious if they have maggots, and they came in with a woman who wanted her son to open meat, and when the son thought that the woman had grown up eating stinky fish, she had drunk maggot wine, and if she didn't brush her teeth, her son couldn't put his mouth down. ”

"Dad, before my son came, I forgot to arrange something. It is difficult for the Ming Imperial Academy to develop in Yingtianfu now, so you can find a way to move the academy to Beijing. Their teaching and mentoring work is more convenient. ”

"Zhang Fu and Zhang Ben are doing a good job here, Huang Fu is also a conscientious person, and it is time for Dad to promote Huang Fu. The growth of rubber here is gratifying, but the folk customs are really flattering. They thought that the Ming Dynasty had entered the realm of gods and Buddhas, and their sons had fooled them like this, if they wanted to incorporate Champa into the colony of the Ming Dynasty in the future, it would be best to do the things of education, eradicate some bad habits, and let their thoughts and culture be respected by the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Gaoxian only felt that there were a lot of words to write, he wrote thousands of words freely, and the time passed unconsciously, it was already in the middle of the moon, and the dog came to see it several times, His Royal Highness had not finished writing, and he did not dare to urge.

Zhu Gaoxian personally folded the letter and put it in an envelope, and he handed the letter to the dog, "You go and get back the confession I want to send to my father, and let Zhang Fu send this letter to the palace." ”

"Yes!"

The dog solemnly accepted the letter, although he didn't know why such a big thing was, His Royal Highness didn't plan to tell the emperor, but His Highness made sense in everything he did.

Although Zhang Fu was a little unwilling, he should have told the emperor about such a big matter, but His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness planned to help His Highness hide it, what is this? However, Zhang Fu did not dare to have any objections, he gave the confession to the dog and took the letter written by Zhu Gaoxian to the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxian tossed and turned on the bed, and tomorrow morning, he would set off for the warship, and the next stop would be Manraka.

According to Zheng He's route to the West, from Champa to Chenla, followed by Siam. Originally, the focus of Zhu Gaoxian's trip was Australia, and he should have traveled to Manraka, which would later be Malaysia, from Palembang through the Gulf of Indonesia to East Timor to Darwin's seaport.

There is no harbour in Darwin today, and it is home to the largest concentration of Aboriginal Australians.

The earlier you arrive in Australia, the sooner you can return to Daming.

However, Zhu Gaoxian's trip also had an important purpose, that is, to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and sign diplomatic agreements with some countries with which he belongs.

Chenla was the first country on this trip.

Early the next morning, Sheyang led the subjects of the Zhancheng State, and sent Zhu Gaoxian to Xinzhou Wharf with Zhang Fu and Zhang Ben and other Ming courtiers.

Seeing the warship of the Ming Dynasty again, standing on the shore like a behemoth, the long pedal sticking out from the deck was on the shore, and the car drove on the deck first, and the legs of Sheyang and the others were trembling, and they just wanted to kneel.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" She Yang and the others knelt down.

Zhu Gaoxian gave a "waiver", and after he told Zhang Fu and Zhang Ben and others, he got on the warship with the congratulations of the two.

Zhang Fu looked at the warship with hot eyes, and said enviously, "Your Highness, the minister plans to learn to sail, and in the future, he will be able to lead this big guy to fight for His Highness in the distance." ”

What lingered in Zhang Fu's mind was the map of the world that he had seen in the Jinshen Temple, and he knew that there were many places in this world that the footsteps of the Ming people had never reached.

Zhu Gaoxian patted him on the shoulder, "There will be this day!" When I get back, the problem we need to solve is the north. I want to drive the Northern Yuan out of my Ming land. When the time comes, I will take you to the north, and do you remember where there is a country and what is it called? ”

"Russia?"

"Let's call it Russia, or the Grand Duchy of Russia. The development of the south depends on the resources of these countries, and in the north, we have to rely on the resources of Russia. “

At this time, the north should still be under the rule of the Golden Horde, what is going on, there is not much information about the Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, after Beiyuan is beaten away, Zhu Gaoxian can only take one step at a time.

Zhu Gaoxian's warship flew away in front, and after vacating a sea area, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty left in an orderly manner, followed by other warships escorting on both sides, seeing this scene, even Sheyang should be very envious.

He couldn't help but say to Zhang Ben, "These people don't know how many generations of blessings they have cultivated, so they will be reincarnated in the land of the Ming Dynasty and become Ming people." Lord Zhang, if I am born and die, can I be buried in the land of the Ming Dynasty? I want to be able to become a Ming man in my next life. ”

Zhang Ben didn't dare to say this, he said in his heart, with the character of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, if Sheyang Cai, a foreigner, wants to be reincarnated in the land of the Ming Dynasty, does he have to pay a land occupation fee?

It's entirely possible.

He pondered and said, "I'm afraid you still have to apply to my Ming Imperial Court for this matter, and I can't say what kind of policy it is." However, you are still young and your life has just begun, is it a bit too early to say that you will die? ”

"Not early, since I have ascended the throne, from now on, I will have to look for a cemetery. Can I submit a table to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and make a trip to Beijing, mainly asking for a burial in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhang Ben was a little helpless, but he couldn't refuse, he couldn't help but slander, you just inherited the throne, you don't want to operate well in the country, what are you going to do in Daming?

Aren't you afraid that the throne will be robbed?

Zhang Ben thought about it, with them now guarding the Champa Kingdom, Sheyang should be the king who personally participated in the enthronement ceremony by His Royal Highness, and the Jaya monk Gyabrama was executed, who dares to grab the throne with Sheyang now?

It can be said that Sheyang should be the most secure king on the throne in the history of Champa, even if he never goes to court, as long as he obediently listens to the words of Daming, Champa will be fine.

When the king is in this position, even Zhang Ben is very envious.

Zhang Xu and his confession, as well as Zhu Gaoxian's letter to Zhu Di, were sent to the capital in mid-April.

At noon, after Zhu Di had lunch, he walked around the temple a few times, spent half an hour, felt a little tired, and returned to the side hall for a nap.

He had a dream, dreaming that Zhu Gaoxian came back, and when he saw his son in the dream, Zhu Di was so excited that he refused to wake up from the dream.

Huang Yan was standing aside waiting, the little eunuch gestured outside, Huang Yan hurriedly glanced at Zhu Di, tiptoed out, the little eunuch said in a low voice, "A messenger has been sent over there in Zhancheng." ”

Huang Yan hurriedly walked out, outside the palace gate, the messenger knelt on the ground, saw Huang Yan come out, and said busily, "The fourth highness has a letter." ”

At this moment, Zhu Di's voice came, "What about Huang Yan?" Where did this dog go? ”

Huang Yan was suddenly excited, and hurriedly instructed the messenger, "You wait first, the emperor may want to summon you!" ”

This is just a small flag, how could he be qualified to see Zhu Di, but today he felt that with the blessing of His Royal Highness, he might have this honor, and said busily, "Thank you, father-in-law!" ”

Huang Yan had already turned around and walked in quickly, he turned his tail and said hello first, "The emperor is very happy!" ”

"Dajo what?" Zhu Di sat on the couch, took the tea handed by the little eunuch, took a sip, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"His Royal Highness went to Champa and sent a letter." Huang Yan smiled, "The messenger is still waiting outside the door!" Your Majesty, the slave maid went to bring in the letter of the Fourth Highness? ”

Zhu Di hurriedly put on his shoes and wanted to go down, shouting, "Hurry up, I want to ask about the situation of the fourth child." ”

"Yes!" Huang Yan served Zhu Di to put on shoes, and said with a smile, "This is really an honor for this little flag." ”

This is also an exception in the palace, the last time, the letter sent from Xiaoliuqiu Island was originally received by the internal supervisors like a baton, but Zhu Di had to ask the messenger to come in and ask clearly, where did the Fourth Highness go? Who did you meet? How are you eating? Have you lost weight?

This time, Jinyiwei simply let the messenger come in, also in case the emperor wanted to meet him in person.

The messenger came in, knelt in the side hall, and brought the letter with both hands.

Zhu Di took it and read it from beginning to end, his eyes were teary, Huang Yan handed the handkerchief next to him, and he didn't know what words to say to comfort, but he only saw such a majestic person as the emperor, looking at the letter, laughing and crying while reading, which made people look at it but felt very bitter.

The little eunuch at the door shook again, and Huang Yan hurried over, only to know that it was the queen who came and asked to see the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is here!"

"Quick, please come in, I'm going to see the queen."

Zhu Di knew that the queen must have heard that her youngest son had a letter, so she hurried over, he hurriedly blew his nose, got up and went out, and when he arrived at the door, the queen wanted to worship, he took the queen's hand, "You come, the fourth child has a letter!" ”

The queen's tears came out, "The concubine heard that the fourth child came with a letter, and the concubine really couldn't wait." Is this the messenger who sent a letter to Xiao Si? ”

"Exactly, you tell me about the Fourth Highness, I and the queen listen!"

The latter words are addressed to the Messenger.

"His Royal Highness arrived at Xinzhou Port on March 30, and the king and ministers of the Champa Kingdom and General Zhang greeted His Highness at the port. His Royal Highness did not live in the royal palace of Champa, but in the embassy of the Ming Dynasty in Champ. “

"Why?"

Xu thought that even if it was the palace of Zhancheng, it would definitely be better than any embassy, could it be that such a small country as Zhancheng would dare not give up the palace to his son?

The Xu family has always been virtuous, but at this time, her son is far away in the world, and her heart is tormented, so she can only think about her son everywhere.

Zhu Di thought of what was written in his son's letter, and handed the letter to Xu with a smile, "The fourth child is not used to living in the palace, he is not used to eating, and he is not used to drinking." I heard that the people who eat fish in Champa only eat smelly food, and drink only maggots when they drink alcohol, which is really disgusting. ”

Xu almost wanted to vomit, she happened to see the paragraph written by Zhu Gaoxian here, her hands were shaking, and she was very distressed, "This kid, why did he run so far." It is said that it is difficult to go out for a thousand days at home, what this ancestor said is true, he went out, where can he get used to eating other people's things? ”

Xu Shi hurriedly asked the little flag, "Is it okay for the Fourth Highness to eat and live in the embassy?" ”

"Gou'er's father-in-law arranged it, and invited the cook of Daming to cook food for His Highness, and His Highness ate very well in those three days."

"That's good, that's good!" Xu stroked her heart, she felt that her youngest son had left, and her heart was empty.

Seeing that Xu's emotions were a little uncontrollable, Zhu Di waved his hand, let Huang Yan go out with a stingy attitude, and ordered, "Reward one hundred taels of silver and a sword!" ”

Now the sword is not worth much, but the emperor's reward can still be used as an heirloom.

Xiaoqi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and followed out.

Xu couldn't help crying, "This kid, it's really worrying, there are so many talents in Daming, it's not good for anyone to lead this team, I want him to lead the team." I can't even eat a good meal! ”

Zhu Di was also crying heartache, the two hugged each other, no one could comfort anyone, and in the end he could only think on the bright side, Zhu Di also repeatedly promised that when his son came back, he would not let him go anywhere, and Xu slowly calmed down.

Zhu Di personally sent the Xu family back, and when he came back, Huang Yan whispered to him, "Your Majesty, I heard that this time it was sent back with the letter from His Royal Highness, as well as Zhang Xu, the brother of Princess Kangjun, there are two letters, one was sent to King Yingjun, and the other was sent to King Kangjun with Zhang Xu. ”

Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Have you inquired clearly?" What really happened in Champa? ”

The slave asked the little flag, saying that Zhang Xu went to Zhancheng and wanted to let Zhancheng give him all the blue incense, and he came to Daming to sell it. For this matter, Zhang Xu and Zhang Ben had a conflict, and it happened that His Royal Highness went down, and His Royal Highness asked Zhang Fu to escort Zhang Xu, but during the interrogation, His Royal Highness personally interrogated, Zhang Fu and Zhang Ben were not in front of him, and no one knew what was interrogated? ”

This made Zhu Di unable to feel at ease, "Go and inquire again!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Yan originally wanted to install people in Zhu Gaochi's mansion, but now he has a justifiable reason and opportunity.

"Go and call Xia Yuanji and Zhao Yi, I have something to explain to them." Zhu Di thought for a while, "Call Fang Xiaoru and the girl of the Mu family into the palace as well!" ”

Huang Yan was stunned for a moment, what kind of thing is it, the girl from the Mu family needs to be present? Do you want to give marriage to His Royal Highness and the girl of the Mu family?

At the same time that Huang Yan thought of the marriage, Zhu Di also thought of what his son said in his letter, Zhanchengguo wanted the princess to sleep with him, but he disliked the bad breath of the princess and returned to Kunning Palace.

The queen was talking to Mama Tang about Zhu Gaoxian, and Mama Tang was very flattering, saying that His Royal Highness had a lot of potential.

Hearing that Zhu Di had returned, the queen hurriedly got up and greeted him out, "What's the matter with the emperor?" Why don't you let Huang Yan or someone come to talk to the concubine, the concubine will go over. ”

"Just take two more steps, if the queen is free, she will also walk more, what the fourth brother said, life lies in movement." Zhu Di took the queen's hand into the hall, "I remembered the marriage of the fourth child, and I want to settle the matter as soon as possible, and it also saves the Mu family from worrying about it all the time, the girl of the Mu family is not young, she is so old, many of them are married." ”

"Yes, the concubine also thought of it, the third child will get married in May, and the marriage of the fourth child should also be decided."

"I want to summon the girl of the Mu family into the palace today, and the marriage will be handed over to you?"

"Yes, the concubine also wants to see the Mu family girl."

Not long after, Xia Yuanji, Zhao Qian, Fang Xiaoru and Mu Ruyan entered the palace together, and when they saw Mu Ruyan, Zhao Di's eyes were about to pop out, and after saluting in front of Zhu Di, Zhao Yan couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, how can the ministers and others meet with the woman, this, this is really unseemly." ”

Does he still want to be an official in the same dynasty as a woman?

"Today, I don't talk about government politics, I only talk about academic matters." Zhu Di pretended not to understand what Zhao Yi meant, and introduced Fang Xiaoru and Mu Ruyan, "Before His Royal Highness left Beijing, he entrusted the Ming Imperial Academy to these two, one is in charge of internal affairs and the other is in charge of foreign affairs. ”

The Ming Imperial Academy is a freak, it is not within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Shan has always been obsessed, at this moment, the opportunity was delivered to him, Zhao Shan decided not to speak first, and planned to make a preemptive attack after figuring out the situation.

"Let's talk about the recent situation of the Ming Imperial Academy first!" Zhu Di said.

"Yes!" Mu Ruyan took a step on her knees, but before she could speak, Zhu Di said, "Miss Mu, you get up, let Huang Yan bring you a chair, you sit and talk!" ”

Zhu Di's words stunned the other three, what kind of treatment is this?

Xia Yuanji only thought about it, and his heart was relieved.

His Royal Highness's subordinates are really full of talents, and a woman can be cultivated by him and be in charge of herself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Ruyan adhered to Zhu Gaoxian's tradition of not talking nonsense, and said concisely, "This class of students will soon be able to graduate in June, and at that time, they will go to various fields to make their own contributions to Daming's industry." ”

"The last batch of students, a total of four, has been crowned as academicians by the emperor, has accepted the appointment of the college, become the professor of the college, their positions will be topped by the best of the previous students, at the same time, some cutting-edge and difficult projects, the four academicians will also be able to support."

Mu Ruyan said, "All in all, the talents cultivated by the college and the development of the industrial field have formed a virtuous promotion and continuous development cycle, which is a good thing to see." In addition, the first set of textbooks of the college has been successfully compiled, and the next batch of students can also use it. Our preliminary budget is that 400 students will be recruited in the next session, of which 100 will be directly recruited from schools in Beijing, and the remaining 300 places will be recruited by examination. ”

Zhao Yan didn't agree, and asked, "Why do you want to be directly admitted from the school in Beijing?" Isn't that unfair to other students? ”

"Very fair!" Mu Ruyan was neither humble nor arrogant, "The school in Beijing was presided over by His Royal Highness back then, and the students recruited were either young and participated in the defense of Beijing, or they were orphans. The content they learned included the mathematics textbooks compiled by His Highness and some of the basics of physics and chemistry, and many of them were no worse than the students of the Ming Imperial Academy. ”

It is no wonder that over the years, the Ming Imperial Academy has recruited students from the south, and the officials from the north have never spoken.

Zhao Qian thought about it for a moment at this time, but he broke out in a cold sweat.

The industrial base of the Ming Dynasty is basically all in Beijing, and even the students trained by the Ming Imperial Academy have gone to the north to participate in the construction, such as the warship base in Zhigu, the thermal power plant in Beijing, the automobile base, and the oil refinery...... Not to mention these, there is actually a school hidden.

"How many students does this school enroll?" Zhao Yan seemed to see the ending of the officials in the south who were going to divide him and eat him, he couldn't hold his breath and asked, "Why doesn't the Ministry of Rites know about this?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said unhurriedly, "Now that the Ministry of Rites knows, can we send teachers to the schools over there?" There are more than 600 students in that school, and only about 200 students can go on to higher education this year. ”

"What age?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Your Highness requires that the students of that school can only take the entrance examination when they are fourteen years old."

"If about 200 students graduated, why only 100 were admitted? Why don't you admit 200 students together? Zhao Qian ignored the royal front and said cool words.

Fang Xiaoru glanced at him vigorously, "Lord Zhao, the other more than ninety students can take the exam. ”

Zhao Li understands that those with poor grades can go directly to higher education, and those with good grades can be directly crushed by taking exams.

This is too much!

Zhao Yi arched his hand to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in the past, when His Royal Highness was a teacher, he could still recruit more than a hundred students, but now there are a total of four academicians as teachers, and the Ming Imperial Academy should be able to expand the number of students." ”

The Ming Imperial Academy is the son's territory, and everything is the son's final say.

Zhu Di didn't intend to interfere, so he said to the mud, "The rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done little by little, so you can't ignore the quality for the sake of pursuing quantity, right?" ”

"That's what the emperor said!" Mu Ruyan took over the topic and said, "Starting from this class of students, the Ming Imperial Academy will implement an examination graduation system, and only after passing the exam will they be allowed to graduate." ”

Zhu Di said with a smile, "This is a good system, lest some people think that when they enter the Ming Imperial Academy, they will be served an iron rice bowl." ”

Zhu Di originally summoned the four of them for the relocation of the school, but who knows, the topic slowly deviated, and he asked, "Having said so much, you can also talk about the difficulties!" ”

Mu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Imperial Academy has been using electricity from a small thermal power plant, and the power is insufficient, so it can't affect the power consumption of the palace!" ”

Zhu Dixin said that the daughter-in-law chosen by his son was really good, and he was about to doze off, so someone sent a pillow.

"I also have this concern, the electricity in the palace must not be delayed, and the research and teaching of the Ming Imperial Academy cannot be affected. Daming now has no other place except for a large thermal power plant in Beijing. Daming's industry is also over there. ”

"Exactly!" Mu Ruyan said, "Your Majesty, the four academicians of our institute want to guide industrial projects and teach, and they are very mistaken to run at both ends of Beijing and Yingtianfu. ”

"So be it!" Zhu Di took over the conversation and said to Xia Yuanji and Song Li, "The Ming Imperial Academy will move to Beijing, and you will teach there, so the four academicians don't have to run at both ends." ”

"Yes!" Mu Ruyan is not a courtier, so it is difficult to say "the minister obeys the order".

Fang Xiaoru knelt down, "The ministers obey the order, the emperor is sage!" ”

Xia Yuanji is still confused, how can I say that he wants to move the Ming Imperial Academy away? He thought of the city of Beijing that the emperor had been preparing to build, and it was obvious that the capital was going to be moved, so he didn't say much.

Zhao Qian was going to oppose it vigorously, he knelt down busily, "Your Majesty, no!" ”

"Why not?" Zhu Dixin said, this school is yours? You put a lot of thought into it, what right do you have?

"This academy is the brainchild of the Four Highnesses, whether to move or not, the minister thinks that he will have to wait for the four princes to come back before making a decision."

Zhu Di waited for this sentence, he took out Zhu Gaoxian's letter and raised it towards Zhao Xuan, "Look at it, this is the letter written back by His Royal Highness, and he asked me to help him move the Ming Imperial Academy to Beijing." You don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhao Li still did not relent, "Your Majesty, the industry of the Ming Dynasty has taken root in the north, there is nothing in the south, there is only one Ming Imperial Academy, the minister thinks that if the Ming Dynasty wants to move the school to the north, won't the students and ordinary people in the south be cold?" ”

"Chilling?" Mu Ruyan raised her eyebrows and said in the same way as Zhu Gaoxian, "Why are you cold?" Daming has the development plan of Daming, and now His Royal Highness has taken the merchants of the south to carry out maritime trade, open up routes for them, exterminate pirates, and Daming's warships will escort them, and will give them a peaceful sea area in the future, so that they can rest assured that they can make money. ”

Zhu Di didn't expect this daughter-in-law to be so spicy, she admired it very much, and nodded almost invisibly.

"In the future, industrial products can come from the north, and the south will sell my Ming's goods in all directions through maritime trade, and bring back the resources that the Ming needs, why not?"

"What does this have to do with the Ming Imperial Academy's move to the north?"

"Lord Zhao, we must let the development of affairs be carried out in accordance with the laws that conform to it, and do not forcibly change the laws of development for our own selfishness. In the future, if the Ming Dynasty develops to a certain extent, it will definitely open a science and engineering college in the south, but now the industry here can be said to be too backward than the north, and the demand for talents in the industrial field has become a short board in the industrial development of my Ming Dynasty. As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you should be able to perceive this. ”

This wording is too sharp, if Zhao Li is still raising the bar, it means that he is not qualified to do this book of etiquette.

Fang Xiaoru also nodded slightly, originally these words should have been said by him, because he was responsible for communicating with the imperial court. Zhu Gaoxian used his strength, but he didn't expect that Mu Ruyan didn't want anyone to have a negative opinion on Zhu Gaoxian's decision, and she was ruthless to Zhao Xian.

The relocation of the school was decided.

Zhao Meng left the palace angrily, Xia Yuanji was far behind him, but Zhao Liang couldn't see Xia Yuanji's determination to avoid him, he was still waiting for him at the palace gate, and said very unceremoniously after meeting, "Lord Xia, the official forgot, you are still from Jiangxi, and the official thinks you are from Hebei!" ”

Xia Yuanjihu is a native of Xiangyin, Changsha Prefecture, and his ancestral home is Dexing, Jiangxi, and he is not a southerner from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he is also in the Yangtze River Basin, which is different from the Yellow River Basin in Hebei.

And Zhao Li is a native of Xingtai, Hebei, and moved to Kaifeng in infancy.

It's just that Zhao Li has been promoted a lot of southern scholars for so many years, and in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, he served as a member of the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, he moved to Zhejiang to participate in politics.

Qi Tai is a native of Zhejiang, Zhao Qi was protected by Qi Tai, and his political achievements were Pei Ran, so he was valued by Emperor Taizu Gao, and later became a member of Emperor Jianwen's team.

Zhao Li can be said to have the support of Zhejiang scholars and come all the way, if he is in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he will lose the Ming Imperial Academy, not to mention Zhejiang, the literati in the entire south will not be able to tolerate him.

Xia Yuanji saw that he couldn't hide, and he didn't say the words "Lord Zhao's ancestor is a northerner", and arched his hand, "Lord Zhao, you really can't complain about me." The reason why I, the head of the household, can still sleep every day, the court asks for money everywhere, and I can deal with it everywhere, is because of the support of the Ming Imperial Academy, you say, I can't throw myself away for you, right? ”

"You ......" Zhao Meng stomped his feet, "You say, how do you explain this matter?" How to explain to the people in the south? ”

Xia Yuanji arched his hand in the direction of the palace, "The emperor is arbitrary, and now the common people in the south who can speak well have followed the four highnesses to the sea, and when they come back, everyone has made a lot of money, if you really want to explain, neither you nor I can explain, naturally there are four highnesses to explain." ”

"Besides, when the Ming Imperial Academy moved to Beijing, did you say that students from the south are not allowed to apply for the exam?"

"They are all Ming people, why don't you let students from the south apply for the exam?"

"Yes! They are all Daming colleges, what is the difference between the south and the north? Xia Yuanji arched his hand again, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Lord Zhao to chat!" ”

This matter has nothing to do with him, he is an official in the same dynasty, and they are all of general rank, Xia Yuanji did not care about the attitude with Zhao Li on the surface, but in fact, he was still uncomfortable in his heart.

Mu Ruyan was called to Kunning Palace by the queen, and the queen heard about Mu Ruyan's performance in front of the emperor and ministers, although she felt that this girl was a little spicy, but she thought that when people first came to the capital, they were not so spicy.

Alas, presumably, it was also a good thing done by his youngest son.

Zhu Di asked Huang Yan to bring a sentence to the queen, "Miss Mu has a bold personality and is decisive, worthy of her son!" ”

The queen's eyes softened when she looked at Mu Ruyan, and after she waited for Mu Ruyan to salute, she took Mu Ruyan's hand, "Good boy, His Royal Highness is not at home, and the affairs of the Ming Imperial Academy must be entrusted to you, it's really hard!" ”

"The courtiers are not hard at all!" Mu Ruyan's face glowed with dazzling brilliance, compared to other girls in the capital, it was completely different, there was a kind of career success and complacency, and her spirit was flying.

"The courtiers are doing everything according to the instructions of the Fourth Highness, and many things are also very interesting to do." Mu Ruyan said with a smile, compared to the last time she had an accident in the palace, Mu Ruyan at this time was less cautious and more energetic.

"That's good!" The queen smiled and said to Mama Tang, "You say, if the fourth child has this blessing, wouldn't it be good to marry such a capable girl in the future?" ”

I'm afraid that the harem will interfere in politics.

Mu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and then she lowered her head in shame, but the joy in her heart was like bubbles in Coca-Cola water, desperately bubbling out.

Mama Tang said with a smile, "A few days ago, Mrs. Xiping Hou wrote a letter, didn't she say that she hadn't given Miss Mu a suitable candidate yet?" The slave maid felt that Miss Mu and His Royal Highness were really a natural pair. ”

This is actually a bit of a faux pas.

But since the emperor has seen this marriage, even if Mu Ruyan doesn't want to marry Zhu Gaoxian, it is impossible.

The queen saw that the little girl was so ashamed that she was about to get under the table, so she waved her hand to let Mama Tang go down, and said, "The emperor and I both grew up watching you, and I want to give you and the fourth highness the marriage. ”
