Zhu Gaoxian still lives in his original courtyard, and the people who serve him are still the same people, after he freshened up, after a short rest, the dog came in, and reported, "Your Highness, Fang Xiaoru asks to see!" ”

"Let him in!"

Zhu Gaoxian sat up, waited for Fang Xiaoru to come in, saluted, he pointed to the stool next to him, "Sit down, sit down and say!" ”

Fang Xiaoru quickly glanced at Zhu Gaoxian, he touched the small notebook in his sleeve, and was a little nervous, "Your Highness, the minister is here to report on the affairs of the Ming Imperial Academy, everything is going well, in the second half of this year, about a thousand students can be enrolled, and the facilities and resources have been prepared." ”

"How many people can graduate this year?" Zhu Gaoxian asked.

"There are 600 graduates, but Miss Mu wants to encourage them to stay in school, and the ministers and others have selected 20 people from those who are willing to stay in school, and they will be selected according to their teaching ability after the school starts."

"How are the grades determined?" Zhu Gaoxian asked curiously, he didn't expect that he didn't leave this information, and he didn't expect that these two people could still create it.

Fang Xiaoru was a little ashamed, and said, "The ministers also drafted a holy decree according to the level of lecturers, teaching assistants, associate professors, professors, and academicians mentioned by His Highness before, and submitted it to the emperor, and the emperor approved it. ”

Zhu Gaoxian nodded and said, "Actually, in my original idea, it was best for associate professors to be divided into three grades, and professors to be divided into one to four levels, of which only first-level professors could obtain the title of academician." However, none of this is important, at the moment, the most important thing for Daming is to cultivate talents. ”

"Yes! What His Highness said is very true! Fang Xiaoru said, "In addition to the 600 students who are about to graduate this year, 20 of them have stayed in school, and all the rest have already had jobs, which can be said to be in short supply. ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "In this way, among the 1,000 students, they have been assessed once a year, and if they pass the assessment, they can go up. ”

"Yes!" Fang Xiaoru was a little uncertain, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be necessary to recompile the teaching materials?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian pressed his eyebrows, he planned to stimulate the potential of his thoughts, and see if he could make up some teaching materials through his thoughts, and said, "Bring me the existing teaching materials." ”

As soon as Zhu Gaoxian finished speaking, he saw the dog at the door looking very anxious, and he nodded.

The dog walked in quickly, and Fang Xiaoru hurriedly stood up and moved to the side.

"What's going on?"

Gou'er said, "If you go back to Your Highness, just when the Emperor and Empress Fang and the two Highnesses entered the city, someone used a firewood cart as a cover and pulled a cart of bows and arrows in. ”

Zhu Gaoxian was a little surprised, he thought about it for a while, and was about to ask his father if he knew there, when he thought of Ji Gang, he said, "You go and find Huang Yan!" ”

Huang Yan is the one who serves his father, it stands to reason that Zhu Gaoxian should not be able to call Huang Yan, it is very inappropriate to call the people around his father for questioning, Fang Xiaoru was about to remind him, but Zhu Gaoxian said, "I still have to stay in Beijing for a few days, you go first, and I will talk to you later." ”

The Academy of Sciences was set up in Beijing City, next to Jishuitan, thinking that His Royal Highness would definitely go to see it, Fang Xiaoru planned to report to His Royal Highness at that time.

But he still gritted his teeth and reminded, "Your Highness, Huang Gonggong is a person who serves the emperor. ”

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and nodded, "Yes, what Principal Fang said is extremely true, but there is a reason for today's incident, so this king will not explain it to Principal Fang." ”

The dog had already walked quickly, and seeing that His Royal Highness had already served tea, Fang Xiaoru had no choice but to retreat.

He stood for a moment under the eaves of the porch outside the door, feeling a little uneasy.

His Royal Highness has been out for more than a year, and even those of them in Beijing have heard that the emperor is very kind to His Royal Highness, and he also has great trust, and many political affairs are handled by His Royal Highness, and the whole body is full of praise for His Highness, saying that His Royal Highness must be the future prince.

Fang Xiaoru saw the dog leading Huang Yan to walk quickly, and Huang Yan wiped the sweat on his forehead as he walked, and asked, "Your Highness didn't wait long, did you?" ”

When the two saw Fang Xiaoru, they only nodded, and before they had time to say hello, they entered Zhu Gaoxian's house.

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a while, he didn't know what was going on, and he also knew that he couldn't stand here for a long time, so he had to raise his feet and leave.

Huang Yan wanted to salute Zhu Gaoxian, but Zhu Gaoxian hurriedly raised his hand to stop, "Father-in-law Huang, if you are like this, it will be difficult for me to do things!" ”

Huang Yan smiled and flattered, "Your Highness always thinks so highly of slaves and maids, and when you come back from overseas, you bring so many gifts to slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids look at those jewels and spices, and they are so moved that they don't know how to repay Your Highness." ”

"You are the one who serves your father, and our brothers don't do their filial piety by our father's side on weekdays, and they all depend on you!"

"This is what slaves and maids should do!"

The two exchanged a few words, and the topic was on the right track, Zhu Gaoxian raised his hand, the dog understood what he meant, and stood at the door, in case someone came to eavesdrop.

Seeing this, Huang Yan's expression became more and more solemn, he stood with his hands down, an old face, and a triangular eye with drooping eyelids, still shining brightly.

"If you talk about who knows Ji Gang best in this world, except for Huang Da with you, this king really can't think of a second person!" Zhu Gaoxian smiled, "Tell me, who has Ji Gang been in contact with in the past year or so?" What did you do? ”

Huang Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Your Highness has won the award, the slave maid and Ji Gang are both close to the emperor, and they deal with each other every day, and the closer they get to each other, they will understand each other better." ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxian was going to serve tea, Huang Yan hurriedly stepped forward, hunched his waist, and put the tea in Zhu Gaoxian's hand, "Commander Ji wants to say what he has done, and he has done a lot, last year's Wanshou Festival, according to the previous rules, the local government sent some girls who were willing to serve the emperor into Beijing, and after a hand of Ji Gang, after entering the palace, the slaves and maids looked at it, hey, there was no one who stood out." ”

Huang Yan approached Zhu Gaoxian and said, "I heard that Commander Ji has made the family repair the courtyard all the year round, and the pavilions and pavilions in it are even hollowed out deep underground. ”

Zhu Gaoxian pinched the tea bowl, restrained the anger in his heart, and asked, "You mainly tell me, does he have any dealings with other countries?" ”

Huang Yan originally wanted to talk about the close relationship between Ji Gang and the eldest prince, but when he thought about it, he couldn't get close to each other, and said, "The slave maid has heard people say several times that the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have entered Beijing, and some people have seen with their own eyes that the people with the front foot Tatar came out, and the back foot, and the Ji Commander also came out of the restaurant. ”

"Okay, I know, if there is any news, remember to tell this king!"

Huang Yan couldn't ask for it, "The slave and maid remember, the emperor still has something to do, and the slave and maid are busy first." ”

Later, Zhu Gaoxian asked Guo Zi to come, and when he learned that Guo Zi was summoned by Zhu Di, he waited a little, sat at the table, and wrote the Northern Yuan Dynasty and Ji Gang, and always felt that something was missing in the middle?

He pondered it, and there was a link missing.

With Ji Gang's status and status, his net worth and life are tied to the imperial power, if there is no emperor, he is nothing.

But why did he collude with the Northern Yuan?

Although what Huang Yan said was very vague, at their level, they left half of what they said and did, giving themselves a way out and giving others a little more space.

Therefore, although Huang Yan said that it was only seen by someone, Zhu Gaoxian can be sure that if Huang Yan did not have conclusive evidence, he would not say such ambiguous words.

Huang Yan has been by his father's side for more than ten years, acting steadily and knowing what to say and what not to say.

Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but think that when the secret box was set up, many people were there, but Ji Gang was missing.

Could it be that Ji Gang learned something from this?

There is someone behind him, who could it be? Eldest or third?

Zhu Gaoxian called out to the dog and asked, "The eldest princess, oh, who is Princess Kangjun?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian continued, Zhu Gaoxian only asked people to prepare gifts to send over, and his father only brought a stroke in the letter, and did not specify who it was, Zhu Gaoxian naturally didn't know anything about it.

"If I go back to His Royal Highness, I heard that it is the side concubine Fuzheng, whose maiden name is Wei." The dog said.

Zhu Gaoxian remembered it and couldn't help but smile, "I see!" ”

He thought for a moment, "Arrange someone to investigate Wei's family, I heard that the surname Wei comes from the Northern Yuan Dynasty." ”

The dog trembled, if Wei Shi came from the Northern Yuan Dynasty and now became the princess of Kangjun, what a terrible thing it was!

"Also, gather information on Tatar and Varat to me!" Zhu Gaoxian commanded one by one.

Fang Xiaoru returned to the Ming Imperial Academy, in the east of the city, which used to be the Privy Council of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Di personally set the address, and later repaired it, becoming a modern university, which means that the Ming Dynasty will be led by the power of science and technology to modernize.

There is a small two-story building in the courtyard, and in the middle is the principal's office, which has never been used, only Mu Ruyan comes in and wipes it every day.

Pearl, who has been requisitioned to become a tutor at the school, is busy with the affairs of the house every day, and even if she wants to come and clean the principal's office, she does not have the time.

Mu Ruyan was a little excited when she saw Fang Xiaoru coming back, and asked, "Lord Fang, have you seen Your Highness?" ”

The holy decree has been issued, and on the day the emperor gave Zhu Gaoxian and Mu Ruyan a marriage, he had already named Mu Ruyan as Princess Yan, but she had not yet passed the door, so everyone called her naturally not a princess.

"Miss Mu, I met His Highness, but His Highness was very busy and didn't ask much about the academy, but gave two instructions."

Mu Ruyan hurriedly cheered up, eager to let Fang Xiaoru stop talking for the time being, she went to get paper and pen to record.
