Gyeonggi-do, Shicheng.

The Tingwei Mansion has been investigating Yuwen Xiaoce's case, but so far there is still no clue who the person who killed Yuwen Xiaoce is, and what method did this person use to avoid so many people as if he was invisible.

Daocheng Mansion, in the evening.

Not long after His Majesty woke up, Xue Huayi sat in the living room and ate supper. His supper was very simple, a bowl of rice porridge, a steamed bun, a plate of pickled vegetables, and a plate of sauce tofu.

He is already a second-rank official, but such a supper looks a bit simple.

Xue Huayi once said that when a person chooses to be an official, he must ask clearly what he needs. When he was chatting with Zhaoer and Zhener, Zhener once asked him, "You are an official in this way, you don't want to be a rich person or wealth, and you even have frugal food and clothing. Why is that?"

Xue Huayi replied at the time that people should not be too greedy.

Zhen'er wondered: "But sir, you have never been greedy for anything. Where can people come from?

Xue Huayi smiled and explained: "As an official, I am respected by the people. When the people see me, they want to worship me. Do you understand that people are the same people, because I have to bow because I wear official uniforms. If I don't have this official uniform, I can bear the bowing of others?"

"Since I have received respect and power, then I will be greedy for wealth and money, and something will happen."

Zhen'er was still young at that time, so she didn't understand what this meant. She just thought, wouldn't an official live a better life? Besides, even if an adult is not greedy and does not accept it, he can live a good life with his salary. After all, an adult is a person who can not communicate without socializing. What he is most annoying is the welcome and sending food and drink on the ground.

Adults say that is hypocrisy and that is a waste of time.

But adults live a very simple life. Adults don’t like to eat meat, but they require the two children Zhen’er and Zhao’er to eat meat because they can grow taller after eating meat.

Zhen'er also asked why this was the case, and the adult replied that he would be at peace.

In this life, no one has so much peace of mind. Most of them are heartless, and the other half are heartless.

Later, as he got older, Zhen'er and Zhao'er gradually understood a little. Adults had great aspirations and wanted to govern the country, so he did something that he knew was wrong but still did. So Adults made up for it from other places, which was to seek peace of mind.

But what Zhen'er doesn't understand is that this matter is wrong. If you make up for it from another matter, it is really a big difference?

Fortunately, Zhen'er and Zhao'er didn't think so much, but they just thought that it would be right for them to do whatever they did. Adults are their life-saving benefactors and their rebirth of parents.

All adults are right, this is what Zhen'er said, all adults are right, and all Zhen'er is right, this is what Zhao'er thinks.

Because Xue Huayi came back late, the two children had already eaten first. Logically, this was something that they didn't understand the rules, but this was Xue Huayi's request. The family didn't have to wait for him to have dinner together, because he didn't know when he was busy.

At this time, there were only five or six people in the Daocheng Mansion. Compared with the identity of a second-rank official, the number of servants was obviously not compatible. Zhen'er and Zhao'er were responsible for purchasing, while others were responsible for cleaning. Even if they were reduced, they would not be able to do anything.

According to the court's rules, the money for officials of the same grade as Xue Huayi was paid by the court for servants. This is the salary, but Xue Huayi never received this amount of money.

He said that the servants in the family served him and did not do things for the court, so he had to pay the money himself and take the court.

He felt guilty about Ting's money.

This statement later spread to the court and caused considerable controversy. The Ministry of Personnel even reported to Your Majesty specifically for this incident. His Majesty's reply was based on his own.

The three words "Your Majesty" are difficult to understand, so most officials do not receive the money.

"grown ups."

Zhao'er came over with a stack of files and put them on the table: "The files you asked me to sort out have been sorted out."

Zhen'er gave him a blank look: "Sir, are you having a meal!"

Xue Huayi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll see if you put it here for a while."

After drinking the last sip of porridge, he said after a moment of silence, "I told you two before to let you go back to the south. How are you thinking about it?"

Zhen'er shook her head: "If you don't go back, you won't go back."

Zhao'er said: "She doesn't come back, and I won't come back."

Zhen'er glared at him and thought to herself that this was nothing.

Xue Huayi said: "You two can't make decisions about this matter. I have to say that it will be the birthday of the Taoist lord in two days. You can help me buy some things and then go back to the south."

Zhen'er shook her head: "I don't mean it. Even if you let us go, we pretend to agree. I'll find a place to live here, but I don't know if the adults are there."

Xue Huayi sighed: "It's not too young anymore, can you not be willful?"

Zhen'er said: "It's because you're not young anymore that you're sensible. You're the only two of us by your side, so let's go."

Xue Huayi was silent.

Zhao'er smiled and said, "Zhen'er, you talk back to the adult again. Let's go out first to calm the adults themselves."

"You two"

Xue Huayi was silent for a moment and said, "Since you neither want to leave, then do something for me."

Speaking of which, they are children, but in fact they are already in their teenage years and don’t look short.

"You two can't go back to the south, but you can't stay with me."

Xue Huayi said: "I will find a way to arrange for you two to go to Yanta Academy in Chang'an City. The academy also accepts female students. With the things you two have learned from me over the years, it is not difficult to get into the academy."

He paused for a moment and continued, "If you want to help me, then help me do serious things. I will need greater helpers in the future. If you two have no identities, you can't really help me. After going to the academy, you will study hard, and after you finish your studies in the future, do you understand?"

Zhao'er looked at Zhen'er, and Zhen'er was silent.

"Use your real name, Chen Zhao, Yao Zhen'er."

Xue Huayi said: "Most of the children who study in a college go in at a young age and study hard in a college before they can graduate. However, not all such people are in a college. The college has a three-year course. After you graduate, I happen to be planning a big deal."

He looked at Zhaoer: "After you graduate from the academy, I will arrange for you to be a small helper in the Ministry of War. You have no rank and official position, but you are all important things to come into contact with."

"Zhen Er, some of the female officials in the palace come from the academy, which is why the academy accepts female disciples. You can go to the palace."

Zhen'er looked at Zhao'er, then nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhao'er thought about it and nodded: "Then can we live together?"

Zhen'er's face suddenly turned red.

Chang'an City.

Zhuang Yong accompanied the old dean for a walk in the academy. The old dean looked in good spirits. Although Chen Leng and Meng Chang'an had left Chang'an for a while, the old man's condition did not become bad.

"A while ago, His Highness the Crown Prince came to the academy almost every three or five days."

The old dean looked at Zhuang Yong: "You should understand what Your Majesty means."

Zhuang Yong nodded: "I understand that Your Majesty asked His Highness the Crown Prince to personally search for talents in the academy. Especially in the three-year academic studies, most of the academy chose to go to the academy for further study because of a failure in the imperial examination. There are many young talents among them. Recently, Your Highness has been there."

The old dean said, "So you have to keep an eye on it over there. You also know that the academy may not be all talents, and the academy also needs to make money."

Zhuang Yong smiled: "Yes."

Most of the students in the academy are selected by local institutions. They have been studying in the academy since they were seven or eight years old, and have graduated for ten years, and a half are the kind of schoolwork for three years. His Royal Highness wants to choose a talent, and the nearest path is among those who have studied for three years.

But the academy also needs to make money.

The dean's words made Zhuang Yong laugh. Every parent in the world thinks that their children are not ordinary people, and they think that their children are capable of making. Even parents who are slightly disappointed with their children, as long as they spend some money, they may have a good future for their children and will not be stingy.

So the revenue of the academy is actually pretty good.

"I'm staring at it."

Zhuang Yong helped the old dean walk forward, and said as he walked: "In fact, there will be more people in the academy in about three years. The sir can see that His Majesty will definitely make a second northern expedition, and the East Palace will inevitably need a large number of people."

The old dean said, "But we can't wait until three years later to choose the talent for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We have to choose now. You have to get busy these days, organize a list, and let the teachers below choose people."

"yes."

Zhuang Yong nodded.

The old dean said: "Think about it, Lai Cheng is from a college and takes over as the chief minister of the cabinet. If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Jushan, whom His Majesty personally trained, will take over Lai Cheng's class in the future. In this way, the two chief ministers will all come from the academy, and if there is a third chief minister, it will also come from the academy."

Zhuang Yong nodded again: "The reputation is very good."

The old dean said: "It's not just a reputation. If three prime ministers can really be produced in a row, I can at least imagine how many people will be able to send money to the academy in the future."

Zhuang Yong: ""

The old dean smiled: "You are not used to your identity yet. When you get used to it, you will know that it is a good thing to have money in the academy. Otherwise, how could so many poor children survive for ten years?"

Zhuang Yong felt a little moved, and then he understood what the old dean meant.

"In the future, you have been in the academy for a long time and see more children from poor families who have worked hard to study hard, you will understand how important money is. The academy's responsibility is to cultivate talents for Daning, and talents do not have their own background."

The old dean looked at Zhuang Yong: "Take it slow."

Zhuang Yong nodded: "Student remembers it."
