The carriage was very stable, and even if the road was occasionally bumpy, the tea on the table did not splash at all.

Zhang Min's doubts were answered, but not only did he not look happy, but he became even more serious.

After a long while, when the tea in the cup had cooled down, Zhang Mian asked.

"My lord, have you ever thought about what would happen if the Queen really gave birth to a legitimate son this time?"

The tone is obscure and incomprehensible, making it difficult to guess its meaning.

Zhu Yi's eyes flashed and she looked up at Zhang Xi without saying a word.

The carriage was quiet for a moment before Zhu Yi spoke.

"Shibo, you are so unfounded. The Emperor is anxious because he has lived in Nangong for a long time and cannot get involved in court affairs. However, I still say the same thing. You and I are people standing in the court, so what we see and worry about

different."

"If the emperor's legitimate son is really born, there may be big changes in the court and in the palace. However, no matter how big the changes are, there will always be traces. The government and the public, the civil and military elites, and the various forces surrounding

All are interrelated, we just need to stick to our true intentions and not be too objective, but there is no need to belittle ourselves."

These words avoided Zhang Xi's faint focus, which made him a little disappointed.

However, it only took a moment for Zhang Xi to gather his thoughts, put the distant thoughts behind him, and said.

"The Duke is right, I am in trouble. When the soldiers come, we will block the water and cover it with the earth. The past cannot be pursued, and the future cannot be known. Only by grasping the present can we feel at ease."

Having said this, Zhang Min recalled the shocking words Zhu Yi had said before in front of Chen Mao and others, and felt that the other party was a bright-sighted person.

In the final analysis, the political situation is volatile, and interests are eternal. Any talk of taking a long-term view is nonsense.

What people should fight for is immediate benefits!

To put it bluntly, what you get is yours. The British government has done so many things in the past, but it has always been hidden behind the scenes. Sometimes, it is even willing to sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation, but in the end, it is not a good thing.

Let’s look at Zhu Yi again. He quietly took back his title and gained the trust of the Supreme Emperor. Now he has gained a place in the court by leveraging the Emperor’s momentum. The originally shaky lintel has lost face in just half a year.

All the money was earned back.

What's the reason?

To put it bluntly, this person is a master who will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit.

If you think about it carefully, Cheng Guo Gongfu also took a lot of risks during the whole process. However, if you sort it out, you will find that every time Zhu Yi takes a risk, no matter how beautiful the words are, he must see the benefits before taking action.

This point is beyond Zhang Shi's reach.

Sometimes he is too soft-spoken and not aggressive enough. Perhaps this is the reason why the British government is still in decline even though he has been trying hard to maintain it.

As a result, the two of them looked at each other without saying anything. Soon after, they separated at the intersection ahead and went back to their mansions.

…………

The first snow of winter comes earlier than usual.

After one night, a thin layer of fire had accumulated all over the capital, and the fire in Qianqing Palace had naturally been lit long ago.

These days, the court is still arguing about the border situation, but for Zhu Qiyu, no matter what the trouble is in the court, his routine is unshakable.

Today was neither a court meeting nor a banquet. After getting up in the morning, he rarely took some time to go to the school next to Qianqing Palace.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, the stars and constellations are arrayed..."

It was just getting dark now, but the crisp sound of reading could already be heard from the school.

Zhu Qiyu stood outside the window, looking at the seven or eight little dolls with buns in their buns, and couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes.

Regarding the matter of enlightening princes and princesses, Zhu Qiyu had a bad experience in his previous life, so he was very cautious in this life.

According to his thinking, he originally planned to wait a little longer, but because Brother Ji expressed his desire to study several times openly and secretly, Zhu Qiyu slowly started to think about it.

Of course, in addition to Brother Ji, part of the reason was that Zhu Qiyu wanted to arrest the princess as well.

After all, Sister Hui, this crazy little girl, still has to get married, and studying can temper her temperament.

However, this matter has been delayed for a long time and has never been accomplished.

Everything else is fine, but this teacher is hard to find.

Logically speaking, the initiation of princes is usually done by palace eunuchs. It is convenient and easy to do. Anyway, it is just about recognizing a few words, so it is not difficult. A chamberlain with some knowledge can definitely do it.

However, since Wang Zhen's incident happened, everyone in the court was obviously a little taboo about it.

Of course, their main focus is on the prince, and ordinary princes don't care that much, let alone the princess.

However, these ministers did not care, but Zhu Qiyu himself had to consider it.

What's more, according to his plan, if this school is to be opened, it will not only be opened for Sister Hui'er and Brother Ji. In addition to the two of them, there will also be several princes and princesses from Nangong who will also teach.

Putting aside the grievances between him and Zhu Qizhen, after all, they are both descendants of the Zhu family, and some things must be considered in advance.

With all these things put together, there is actually only one most critical issue, and that is to have a good teacher.

Because of this matter, Zhu Qiyu had a headache for a long time. He asked the cabinet to choose from the Hanlin Academy several times, but after passing the examination, he was not satisfied with it.

Once, he even had the idea of ​​calling that old guy Hu Hui into the palace to be a lecturer.

Of course, it didn't happen in the end.

If Zhu Qiyu had proposed this errand, Hu Hui would definitely be happy. However, let alone asking the dignified Minister of Rites to teach a few children how to read, it would be overkill and overkill. Let’s just talk about the unnecessary unnecessary consequences that would arise if word of this matter spread. Guessing is enough to give people a headache.

You must know that those who teach Donggong are just a group of bachelors from the cabinet. If Hu Hu, a laborer from such a small school, takes action, it is destined to cause a storm in the court.

With no other choice, this matter has been shelved. It was not until recently that the primary school was really opened.

As for the teacher, after repeated consideration, Zhu Qiyu finally handed it over to Yi Ming!

The reason why I chose him was not only because of his knowledge and character, but more importantly, of course, because Yi Ming was an old minister of Prince Tan's Palace, and he was more secure to use.

"Pop!"

Two soft sounds brought Zhu Qiyu back to his senses. He followed the sound and saw that the sound of reading in the room had disappeared at some point.

Through the window, you can see Yi Ming holding a ruler in his hand. In front of him, Sister Hui pouted, her little hands were shrinking and turned red, and her big watery eyes were full of crystal water. However,

But she refused to shed tears no matter what.

"Your Highness, Princess, do you know that you are wrong?"

Yi Ming's slightly stern voice sounded, making the atmosphere in the room a little tense. All the little kids looked at Sister Hui, looking timid, obviously very frightened.

Sister Hui was obviously very scared, but even though she was young, she had a very bad temper, and she refused to bow her head in the face of the stern master.

However, this look obviously made Yi Ming even more angry.

Originally it was just a small matter, but Sister Hui's stubborn temper made this matter offend the teacher's dignity. How could this be so serious?

With a straight face, Yi Ming scolded lightly and said.

"Hand out!"

"Snapped"!

The ruler was raised high, but it was not heavy when it fell. It could be seen that Yi Ming still retained his strength.

However, even so, it was not gentle. The blow hit her white and tender little hand, and Zhu Qiyu could see Sister Hui's body trembling with the naked eye.

"Your Highness, Princess, do you know that you are wrong?"

Yi Ming's voice sounded again, becoming more severe.

Zhu Qiyu frowned and almost wanted to break in. However, fortunately, he felt distressed, but in the end he still had sense and stopped abruptly.

At this time, Wynn spoke cautiously and said.

"Your Majesty, I asked someone to ask. Yesterday, I was just having fun and didn't do the homework that Bachelor Yi left for me, so..."

The atmosphere in the room became more and more tense. Sister Hui'er's character usually seemed out of control, but in fact, she was the most stubborn.

Right now, this little girl is clearly trying to get into trouble and refuses to admit her mistake.

Seeing that Yi Ming's face was getting darker and darker, and the ruler had been raised again, Zhu Qiyu was also a little anxious. He couldn't help but move his steps and wanted to go in. However, at this moment, someone took a step ahead of him and stopped Hui.

In front of my sister.

"His Royal Highness King Hui?"

Yi Ming frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then put down the ruler in his hand, but the look on his face became even more ugly and said.

"What is your Highness doing? Standing up for the Fifth Princess?"

Nowadays, there are not too few heirs in the palace. On the Supreme Emperor's side, there are four sons and four daughters, and on Zhu Qiyu's side, there are also two sons and two daughters, each of whom has a title.

Among these children, the prince Zhu Jianshen established a separate school in the East Palace, the emperor's youngest son Xu Wang Zhu Jianchun, Zhu Qiyu's youngest son Zhu Jianshu, and the youngest daughter Huai'an Princess Zhu Nianyun were all in the school.

The only slight difference is that the prince is called by a title, but the princess is not easy to distinguish, so for the sake of distinction, they are called in order of age.

Although Sister Hui is Zhu Qiyu's first daughter, Zhu Qizhen's four daughters, Princess Chongqing, Princess Jiashan, Princess Chun'an, and Princess Chongde, are all older than her.

Therefore, in order to distinguish them, the palace often calls Sister Hui the fifth princess.

Of course, strictly speaking, this kind of title is not appropriate. Mr. Wang specifically asked Zhu Qiyu what he meant before, and after getting his nod, he slowly called him this way.

Zhu Jianji protected his sister behind him and looked straight at Yi Ming, who was obviously a little scared, but in the end, he still saluted uprightly and said.
