Lin Ping'an was very excited, because he was about to face Chongzhen, the last emperor with the most tragic colors in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"I despised Liangde and bowed, and I was to blame the heavens, causing the rebels to approach the Jingshi and receive the ministers by mistake. I die, I have no face to see my ancestors, I go to the crown, cover my face with my hair, let the thief split the corpse, and don't hurt the people. ”

His mind came up with the body swaying from the crooked-necked tree on the coal mountain, and the last words on the corpse's clothes, but he couldn't connect with the thin boy in the corner.

When Lin Ping'an read the history of the Ming Dynasty in his last life, he liked this controversial emperor very much.

Some people say that he was stubborn, too suspicious, and lacked ability, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Some people also say that he was unlucky and took over a mess, and although he worked hard, he was powerless to return to the sky.

However, in Lin Ping'an's heart, all this does not seem to be very important, the romantic characters always have to take a curtain call, the wheel of history always has to move forward, what he admires the most is that as an emperor, Chongzhen has maintained the last dignity, especially the sentence Don't hurt the people, it is even more moving.

Lin Ping'an walked towards Zhu Youzhen, his steps were a little anxious, as if he couldn't wait.

A hint of astonishment flashed in the eyes of the young man in the corner, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

Before this, Zhu Youzhen had never seen Lin Ping'an, but for some reason, looking at Lin Ping'an, who was also young, at this time, his heart was filled with a strange feeling.

It's a strange feeling, as if you've known each other for a long time.

In fact, he could not have come at all today, because no one invited him.

In this regard, Zhu Youzhen was not surprised at all, because he was very clear about his positioning.

Perhaps it was the royal bloodline that made him know the principles of doing things as a royal family at a very young age.

The wind and waves in the Ming court were too great, and he felt that his body was too weak to bear.

Especially now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has no heirs, this makes him feel even more uneasy.

Therefore, he is cautious, studies behind closed doors every day, never has close contacts with any courtiers, and is a transparent little prince with peace of mind.

However, not going out does not mean that he does not know the things that happened in the capital, of course he knows those rumors about Lin Ping'an, and at the same time, he can't help but wonder, what is so special about this legendary young man?

So today he came, standing silently in the corner like a passerby, quietly looking at the young man on the stage.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Xin."

Lin Ping'an bowed deeply to Zhu Youzhen, but his eyes were staring at the other party without blinking, as if he wanted to see the other party clearly.

Zhu Youzhen returned the salute, his attitude was very humble, and then the two of them were speechless.

Because I don't know what to say.

Lin Ping'an felt that he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

Zhu Youzhen also fell silent, although Lin Ping'an's words just now stirred up a huge wave in his heart, but in front of so many people, it was impossible for him to say anything.

The two young men just looked at each other, both with a smile on their faces, but they both remained silent, and the scene looked not only awkward, but even a little weird.

"Sister Ye, what's wrong with her, young master?"

Liu Ru asked with a wink, she was born in Qinglou, and naturally knew that there was a kind of person in this world who liked the same sex, and the eyes of these two people staring at each other in front of her really made her feel a little worried.

Ye Yunshu shook her head, a trace of dazedness flashed in her eyes, and the painting style in front of her made her feel very embarrassed, and her toes were eager to dig out a few holes in the ground.

She patted Liu Rus and said softly:

"Don't think about it, maybe the young master saw King Xin and was speechless with joy."

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian, Yang Lian and others also saw Zhu Youzhen and immediately walked over, which resolved this embarrassing style of painting.

"King Xin, why are you interested in coming here?"

Wei Zhongxian asked with a smile, he had a good impression of Zhu Youzhen.

Because in his heart, the other party is too young to pose any threat to him, and more importantly, Zhu Youzhen has always respected him very much, and he calls the factory when he meets, which is really flattering.

"I've seen the factory."

Zhu Youxian shouted at Wei Zhongxian, and at the same time arched his hand at Yang Lian and the others.

Yang Lian and the others hurriedly returned the salute, and they were also a little strange in their hearts, they all knew that this prince didn't hear anything outside the window, but today he came here inexplicably, and he came alone, which was really unexpected.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen spoke, because he also saw the doubts in everyone's eyes, and only heard him say:

"This king has heard of Dean Lin for a long time, and today coincides with a grand event, so I can't help but come to join in the fun, but it disturbs you a little."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately relieved, in their eyes, this king of faith was already young, isn't it normal to be a little curious?

Lin Ping'an also returned to normal at this time, it was the third year of the Apocalypse, and there were still four years before the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he had enough time to communicate with the future emperor in front of him, so he was naturally not in a hurry.

Jiang Xingzhou and the others were so happy, there were too many surprises today, so they couldn't bear it, these characters in front of them were all at the level of big guys, not to mention such close contact, it was difficult to see each other.

Especially at this moment, there is a prince, that is the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor, Lin Ping'an's face is really big enough!

Zhu Youzhen arched his hand at Lin Ping'an, and said very seriously:

"I heard Dean Lin say just now that this Bamboo Forest Academy will not only teach students a subset of poems, but also teach some things such as natural science, this king is very interested in this, I wonder if Dean Lin can make an exception to accept this king's student?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

It doesn't matter if someone else wants to be a student, but who is Zhu Youzhen?

That's a dignified King of Faith!

Traditionally, the education of the children of the imperial family has been taught by the great Confucians in the court, where is it possible to study in an academy?

Isn't that a joke?

Yang Lian and the others all frowned, Zhu Youzhen's proposal was not in harmony with etiquette, in their opinion, this was absolutely impossible!

Shi Gan glanced at Lin Ping'an, Jiang Xingzhou and the others were also anxious, afraid that Lin Ping'an would be young and ignorant, so he agreed.

Whatever is terrible, Lin Ping'an actually nodded.

He said to Zhu Youzhen:

"Natural science is all-encompassing, and there are countless mysteries waiting for us to discover between heaven and earth.

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed solemnly to Lin Ping'an and him, and shouted in his mouth:

"In this way, there is Mr. Law!"

Everyone's eyes widened as they watched this scene.

Zhu Youzhen's ninety-degree bow was obviously a disciple's salute to Lin Ping'an, but Lin Ping'an was disrespectful, and he didn't mean to avoid it at all, which was really a bit too much.

Yang Lian shook his head slightly, looked at the two teenagers in front of him, and couldn't help but shout in his heart: "Nonsense, this is simply nonsense." ”

He has already made up his mind at the moment, and he will explain this matter to His Majesty tomorrow, the ancestral etiquette must not be messed up, and Lin Ping'an cannot become Zhu Youzhen's teacher no matter what!

A trace of worry appeared on the faces of Jiang Xingzhou and the others, but it was inconvenient to say anything at this time, so they could only remain silent.

Lin Ping'an looked at everyone's expressions, how could he not know what these people were thinking, but he didn't care.

"Zhu Youzhen's teacher, that is the future emperor!"

He cried out in his heart.

He will never let go of such an opportunity, because only in this way can he justifiably have more contact with the future emperor, have the right to speak in the future court, save the Ming Dynasty, and avenge his Wan'er.

And all this will be based on Zhu Youzhen's trust!

So at this point he must accept it!

These thoughts are naturally impossible for others to know, the reigning Emperor of the Apocalypse at this time is only eighteen years old, no one would have thought that this young emperor would die in four years, let alone that the transparent little prince in front of him would become the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, two disciples ran in panting, these two people looked extremely strange, but they looked at everyone but stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Xingzhou asked in a deep voice.

A disciple hesitated for a long time before stammering:

"There were a few Houjin people from outside the academy, claiming to have been sent by Dolgon, the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, to congratulate the opening ceremony.

When the words fell, the scene was in an uproar, and everyone showed a shocked expression on their faces.

"How could Lin Ping'an have a connection with the Houjin people?"

"And it's the prince of Nurhachi!"

This news is really exciting enough, Jiang Xingzhou and the others opened their mouths wide, and they felt a faint bad feeling in their hearts.

Among the people at the scene, except for a very few people such as Hua Fangfang and Nangong Cheng, who knew about it, the rest of the people were confused.

Today's Daming and Houjin are in the same boat, fornicating with Houjin is a big crime, if this matter is spread out, I am afraid that this academy will not be able to open immediately.

Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Ping'an, seeing that he was also a little confused, he never expected such a thing to happen at this juncture.

Outside the academy, six people dressed as Houjin bowed to Lin Ping'an and shouted:

"Dean Lin, Dolgon ordered me to come and congratulate the academy ceremony, just a small courtesy, I hope Dean Lin will accept it with a smile!"

Perhaps to reassure everyone, after saying this, he waved his hand, and the rest of the men immediately opened the boxes on the carriage.

There were twelve chests in total, and each one was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and jade, as well as specialties from Liaodong.

Lin Ping'an looked at these boxes, and the face of Dolgon appeared in his mind, he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said:

"Thank you Dorgon for me!"

When the visitor heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, saluted Lin Ping'an again, and turned around and left with the rest of the people.

There was silence at the scene, and everyone looked at the boxes and fell silent.

Jiang Xingzhou and the others suddenly complained bitterly, and he shouted in his heart:

"Dean, Dean, how can you accept these gifts? Isn't this a basin on our academy? ”

Yang Lian's face was extremely ugly, he was a very principled person, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes when he looked at Lin Ping'an at this moment.

"Lin Ping'an, you actually have an old relationship with the Houjin Prince?"

There was a hint of coldness in Yang Lian's words, as if he was suppressing endless anger.

Lin Ping'an nodded silently, and said with some difficulty: "Dolgon is my sworn brother. ”

Yang Lian let out a hehe sneer from his mouth, and said to Lin Ping'an:

"It is a big sin to fornicate with gold, this matter will be enlightened by the old man, you ....... the academy"

Before he could finish speaking, a sigh came out of his mouth, and he turned and walked away.

Shi Gan looked at all this in front of him in amazement, he pulled Larin Ping'an's sleeve, and asked Ai Ai in anticipation:

"Big brother, is what you just said true?"

Lin Ping'an nodded again, in fact, he could not admit it, but he felt that he couldn't help but admit it, because the eyes of Dolgon in his mind were so clear, as if he was looking at himself at the moment.

Shi Fenglai sighed in his heart, pulled Shi Gan, and walked out of the academy with a trace of loneliness and regret.

Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and patted Lin Ping'an, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Boy, we can't help you with this matter, so you can do it yourself."

After saying this, he also departed,

There is no way not to leave, and there is no way to say something else, this kind of thing is too big, he doesn't even dare to say anything to comfort Lin Ping'an.

Lin Ping'an smiled bitterly, silently looking at the backs of these people leaving, but Zhu Youzhen's voice came from his ears:

"Sir, this king believes in you!"

Zhu Youzhen's voice was very calm, and after saying this, he nodded at Lin Ping'an and walked out of the academy alone.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Jiang Xingzhou and the others almost wanted to cry without tears, and at the same time, an indescribable fear rose in their hearts.

The law of the Ming Dynasty is very strict, especially in this kind of thing, it is simply a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, if Lin Ping'an is guilty of a major crime, then they will definitely be inseparable.

A moment ago, he was given an eight-rank official position by His Majesty the Emperor, and he was about to be beheaded in the blink of an eye, and this huge contrast made several people almost sit on the ground.

Lin Ping'an looked at the pale faces and couldn't help but smile.

He is not a brainless person, since the Nangong City appeared in Shengjing City, then everything about himself has naturally been known clearly by the night watchman, needless to say that His Majesty the Emperor must also know it.

These people haven't mentioned this matter for so long, and they are so like this to themselves, and they are married and official, obviously in their eyes, this is not a big deal.

In that case, why should I worry, if I don't admit my relationship with Dorgon, it will be bad!

Seeing the smile on Lin Ping'an's face, Jiang Xingzhou's faces were full of bitterness, and he almost said in a trembling voice:

"Dean, this is not a trivial matter!"

Lin Ping'an stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Xingzhou in fear, and comforted: "Even if there is something, it has nothing to do with you and others, and I will naturally make it clear to Your Majesty when the time comes, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Jiang Xingzhou nodded silently, a trace of emotion surged in his heart, and he could only sigh silently in his heart:

"He is still a child after all, how can he know the seriousness of this matter, even if he says it explicitly to His Majesty, it seems that his people are in a catastrophe this time."

Wei Wuya was calmer, he looked in the direction of the backyard, and said in a deep voice to the few disciples in front of him:

"It's not allowed to spread here, especially in the backyard."

These disciples were all his henchmen, and at this time, their expressions were awe-inspiring, and they nodded heavily.

In the blink of an eye, most of the guests were gone, leaving the black-clad Nightwatch.

Hua Fangfang smiled, looked at Lin Ping'an with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and smiled at Nangong Cheng on the side:

"What's the matter, although this son is a little weaker, the blood of this body is very much to my liking."

Nangong Cheng nodded slightly, the calmness and calmness shown by Lin Ping'an today made him a little impressed, he smiled at the side and said:

"Xiaoxiao, I think this kid is good, if you hadn't asked for it, then change it?"

Yan Xiaoxiao's pretty face suddenly turned into a big red cloth, and she shouted helplessly in her heart:

"Uncle Nangong, do you know that he wants to compare himself to a poem with me!"
