The crown prince supervised the country, coupled with the reform of the government, the court situation became turbulent again. In just two months, more than 20 officials were investigated because of unclear documents and unclear procedures when handing over work.

Although no one was killed, many were dismissed from office and sentenced to exile, and the six ministries of the cabinet were delegated powers. Officials were all adapting to their new powers.

But the emperor didn't respond to this, and he just stayed in the Yangju Palace to recuperate from his illness. He heard that Xu Yuanzheng and other imperial doctors had been ordered not to leave the palace, which showed that the emperor's condition was serious.

Just when everyone was caught in the excitement and panic of the new dynasty replacing the old dynasty, the uncle Wang's family sent Wang Rong, the second son of the eldest family's first son, to the military camp for training.

Many people didn't notice this message. It's just that there have been major events in the capital recently, and none of them are more eye-catching than this one. But those who were interested couldn't help their heart skipping a beat after hearing the news. After further investigation, they found that the Wang family had just entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother before sending Wang Rong to the barracks. Greetings, Your Majesty.

The emperor asked about the situation of the descendants of the Wang family, and Wang Rong was sent to the military camp the next day.

Since the death of the first emperor and the burial of Concubine Lan Gui, the imperial palace was under the control of the empress dowager and empress, not to mention watertight, at least the news would not spread all over the streets.

In the past, the news that could be spread was the news that the superiors wanted them to know, and as long as they wanted to, they could inquire about this news.

Confused people are naturally confused and don't understand what it means, but those who are in it and the smart people understand that the emperor is warning.

A warning to those who want to get close to the second and third princes with ulterior motives like Wang Rong, if they commit another crime, His Majesty may not be as gentle as he was with the Wang family. After all, the Wang family is the emperor's niece, and he will look at it for the sake of the Queen Mother. , but not necessarily so for others.

Wang Rong had just left Beijing, and all the people who were about to extend their hands shrank back. Except for the palace, Gu Jingyun was the second batch of people who received the news. Xiao Huangmen, who sent the letter, said with a smile: "It's already winter, and His Royal Highness may be even busier. Let's postpone his courses to the next year. I'll give him some homework here, and let him finish it before spring and hand it over to me." .”

The servant bowed in response, "Yes."

Gu Jingyun handed him a box, and said: "If you meet the second prince and the third prince at the place of His Royal Highness, please tell them for me, and say that it is cold, so there is no need for them to run out of the palace. They teach."

The servant responded more respectfully.

The tip of the protruding needle has been pulled out, so there is no need for them to come out.

The poor Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince didn't know, and when they heard the news, they wailed, "Mr. Gu, we are not afraid of the cold, we want to go out of the palace to study~~"

Hearing this, the prince looked at the two younger brothers with sympathy, wisely he didn't tell them that they might be used by the husband.

He dryly said something for Gu Jingyun, "Mr. Gu is also worried about you going out to catch the cold."

"We are in very good health, and we are not afraid of the cold at all." The second prince looked at the prince pitifully and said, "Brother prince, please intercede with Mr. Gu, and let us go to Qingxi Academy to listen to his class."

The third prince: "Yes, brother prince, I found that teaching at Qingxi Academy is more efficient."

The prince looked at them with more sympathy, "As far as I know, Mr. Gu seems to have handed over the sons to the royal father. The queen mother has a lot of opinions on your frequent trips out of the palace during this period, and it is a bit difficult for the royal father to recuperate in the nursing home alone. Depressed, do you think father and mother will be very happy to be invited by Mr. Gu?"

The second prince fell to the ground clutching his chest, "Mr. Gu is too much, why did you give us a message while giving us a report? And let the servant pass the message by the way, doesn't the father care about the government, why can you still see Mr. Gu's report?" ?”

The prince coughed lightly and said, "Because this is not government affairs, it is a family matter."

The second prince and the third prince burst into tears. They heard that the capital city is very lively in winter, because everyone has nothing to do, so they all ran to the streets to play, and they had to prepare new year's goods. They also wanted to see what the capital city looked like in winter.

The second prince and the third prince looked at the majestic Gongqiang, and felt very sad in their hearts. Although they were in the very center of the capital, they had never seen the grand occasion of the people spending the winter outside.

The second prince counted on his fingers, "Brother Prince, how long will it take before I leave the palace and open the house?"

The prince touched his younger brother's head, with a smile in his eyes and said: "Soon, you are thirteen years old, and you will be able to get married in three years, and you will be married in two years. After you get married, you can leave the palace and open the house. When the time comes, let the emperor make you a prince, and you can go out to play whenever you want."

The second prince feels even more sad, it will take another five years!

The third prince directly cried out "wow", the prince and the second prince looked down at the third younger brother whose hair could barely be combed into a bun, the sympathy in their eyes almost showed in substance. And the second prince finally felt less sad.

In any case, after the crown prince made a clear move and the emperor secretly intervened, Beijing was much quieter, and the speed of reform was accelerated. When the six ministries completed the power collection, the Yushitai, which supervised all officials, also completed the reform.

Of course, this is just the beginning, because the reform is not only aimed at the capital, but also at the localities. The Yushitai will monitor all the officials. In the future, the censors will be sent to inspect the various places, and each province will also send officials from the Yushitai to station. In the same way as before, the local governor also took on the responsibility of supervision.

So everyone found that there was a shortage of people in the court, extremely short of people, not only Beijing officials, but also local officials. Everyone focused on the upcoming Chunwei, and the number of people admitted in Chunwei this year may increase.

The scholars who had been burying their heads in their studies and ignoring the affairs of the court could not help being shocked when they heard the news, and their minds began to float.

The students of Professor Gu Jingyun's Gui fifth class gathered around Gu Jingyun to inquire about the news. Everyone knew that he was the prince's teacher. Now that the prince is in charge of the country, I'm afraid no one would know this matter better than him.

Gu Jingyun looked at the students who were eagerly looking at him and smiled, then shook his head and said, "I have never heard His Highness say that Chunwei will increase the number of students admitted."

Everyone was slightly disappointed.

"Then, do you know who the chief examiner for this subject is?"

Gu Jingyun still smiled and shook his head, "This matter has not yet been decided, but I think it's either Ouyang Shangshu or the Jinzhang Academy. There are still four months before Chunwei, and your main energy should still be on the classics and theories. In my spare time, I will review the Four Books and Five Classics, and only recite the original text. I also need to spare time to review mathematics and law, "

Gu Jingyun paused and said: "The cabinet delegates powers, and the six ministries also delegate some powers to local governments, and they place more emphasis on the practical ability of officials, so you must not spend less than one-fifth of your time on mathematics and law. Arrange your own time."

The students' hearts moved when they heard the words, and they all looked at each other. Seeing that Gu Jingyun got up to leave, the ten people hurriedly stepped aside and sent him off respectfully.

As soon as Gu Jingyun left, everyone immediately surrounded Zhao Ning, "Tell me, Zigui, do you have any important points for you to learn about arithmetic and law?"

"How much time do you spend on arithmetic and the law every day?"

"Did you get the definite news that arithmetic and law will increase substantially?"

Zhao Ning stretched out a hand from the crowd and shouted: "Brother Shi, save me!"

Shi Wei pushed him onto the chair, pressed his chest and said viciously: "Save you? That's fine, let's start with the real thing. Do you have any materials for you to review, sir? Hand it over and don't kill me!"

"That's right, hand it over and don't kill it."

Although everyone is Gu Jingyun's student, Zhao Ning is different. He is a formal apprentice, so the resources he enjoys are naturally different.

After seeing Gu Jingyun's knowledge, it is impossible to say that everyone is not envious and jealous. They think they are good enough. When they were assigned to Mr. Gu Jingyun, they still murmured in their hearts, but their progress in the past two months All can be described as huge.

What Gu Jingyun taught them was not only the knowledge from books, but also some knowledge that only the elders would pass on to future generations. He also taught them all of them, including the way of being an official.

If at the beginning everyone was only superficial towards Gu Jingyun, and had doubts about his knowledge and character, now they have firmly believed in him, and really regarded him as a mentor.

Zhao Ning "resisted tenaciously" for a while, and finally lost, he could only take out a bound booklet from his book basket and said, "Okay, don't force me, promise, this is jointly issued by my husband and my teacher's wife." The questions are all about mathematics, law and other miscellaneous subjects, sir said, after I finish all these subjects and understand them well, I don’t have to worry about miscellaneous subjects.”

When everyone heard the words, they rushed forward to fight for it.

Zhao Ning yelled: "Don't snatch it, don't snatch it, I only have one copy, if it is broken, it will be gone, if you want to copy it, you can't damage my booklet..."

When Zhao Ning got out from the siege of the nine people, his hair almost fell apart. Seeing Shi Wei standing beside him happily, he jumped up in anger and beat him up, "You provoked it."

Shi Wei yelled: "If you are in trouble, you should share the blessings, and I am all for Mr. Gu."

"Bah, I think it's for your own sake. Look what you've done to me?"

"Okay, okay, it's alright if I'm wrong, I'll make them gentle next time," Shi Wei walked out with a smile on his shoulders, and said cheerfully: "Now that they got the brochure, even if they don't If you like miscellaneous subjects, you will try your best to learn them, but that's the 'small stove' prescribed by your husband, just by listening to it, you will know how rare it is."

Zhao Ning couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"At that time, if the acceptance rate of Mr. Gu's class is high, then his position in Qingxi Academy will be more stable... Uh," seeing the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, Shi Wei's smile froze, "Gu Brother?"

Zhao Ning stopped and looked at the other party, then looked at Shi Wei suspiciously, "Gu?"

Gu Lekang bowed his hands and bowed, looked at Zhao Ning and said, "You are Zhao Zigui, my servant, Gu Lekang, I want to meet Mr. Gu, may I introduce you?"
