"It's too much to say that I founded the academy alone. The academy is what it is today because of everyone's contribution. I just contributed a little."
Han Du was not modest in saying this. From the establishment of the academy to now, he had indeed not exerted much effort.
Even Lao Zhu contributed more than himself, at least he has been concerned about the academy since its establishment.
But looking back at myself, since I stopped teaching students in the academy, besides giving money all the time, I would not go to the academy even when I have free time. I really feel unworthy of the evaluation of establishing the academy by myself.
"However, since you want to become my teacher, I still have to ask you something first."
"Excuse me, sir."
Yu Qian knew that the critical moment had come, and bowed to Han Du solemnly.
Han Du also sat upright and said in a serious tone, "You want to become my teacher. Are you here for learning or for a career?"
Yu Qian did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking, "Can't I become an official after becoming my disciple?"
"That's not true. I just want to know what you think." Han Du shook his head, "If you are here for an official career, it's very simple. With your intelligence, you can pass the Jinshi examination in a few years.
When the time comes, with my help, it will be easy for you to achieve success."
"What if I came here for learning?" Yu Qian glanced at Han Du and smiled.
Han Du was not angry and explained patiently, "Then after you become a disciple, go to the academy to study. See how you do, and then I will decide how to teach you."
Yu Qian was stunned and asked confusedly, "Why do you still need to go to the academy? Isn't it better to learn from the teacher?"
Han Du smiled faintly, shook his head and explained, "It's not that it's bad, but there are some things I can't teach you. For example, I can teach you knowledge and career, but I can teach you the youthful spirit and Fang Qiu's scholarly spirit.
I can’t help you.”
Yu Qian never dreamed that he would get such an answer. Suddenly he felt that becoming the master of Duke Zhen was the most correct choice in his life.
Because even when his father was teaching him, the most important thing he said was to tell him to study hard and not to disgrace his grandfather. He never considered whether a boy of his age also had dreams and ambitions.
idea?
"Students are willing to study knowledge with their teachers."
Han Du pointed at him and motioned for him to get up, "Being a disciple is not a trivial matter, and you need to invite someone to witness it. But you don't have to worry about this. You will live in the house these days, and you can just go through the ceremony when the time comes."
"Yes, teacher." Yu Qian immediately considered himself a disciple.
Han Du was also very satisfied with Qian, even if it was impossible for Ming Dynasty to encounter Tumu again
Even with such a big change like Bao, Yu Qian could not have the power to turn the tide.
But he himself is a very smart person, and finding talented people and teaching them is a great pleasure in life.
"Come here!" Han Du shouted towards the door.
A servant walked in and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
"Go tell Uncle Wu and send out invitations. I want to accept a disciple!"
"yes."
The problem of the Academy was solved, and the solution was twenty-three lines at once.
As the news spread, Yu Qian's name shocked the world!
Even Zhu Biao, who was deep in the palace, quickly got the news.
The moment he heard the news, Zhu Biao first didn't believe it. How difficult this question was, he had solved it himself, so he remembered it deeply.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Yu Qian is still a young man. Your Majesty has been so virtuous that he has raised such a heroic figure in the world. I congratulate you, Your Majesty!"
These words touched Zhu Biao's heart and made him laugh.
Then a question came to mind. You must know that the twenty-line arrangement was solved by Han Jingyun, and he had beaten the entire Ming Dynasty for so many years.
Now a young man has solved twenty-three lines. I wonder what she is thinking now.
And can she solve the twenty-three lines? If she can solve it, that would be great, but if not,
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao felt suddenly excited for no reason. He felt very uncomfortable after being crushed by Han Jingyun's wisdom for so many years.
Subconsciously, he turned back and glanced in the direction of Kunning Palace. Zhu Biao's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. He turned around and headed towards Kunning Palace.
When she walked into the palace, she saw Han Jingyun sitting by the window, holding a book and reading quietly. The sun shone in through the window and fell on her.
"The Queen is reading a book"
Han Jingyun glanced at it and put the book away helplessly. She likes a quiet environment to read, but as long as Zhu Biao comes, she will never be able to read quietly again.
"Why does the emperor have time to come to my place today?"
"You don't know yet, right?" Zhu Biao sat across from Han Jingyun with excitement on his face.
"What do you know?" Han Jingyun could obtain very little information after living in the palace for a long time, so she put most of her energy into mathematics.
Zhu Biao's whole body began to feel inexplicably agitated, "You stay in the book?"
The question at the entrance of the courtyard has been solved, and the solution is twenty-three lines."
"Oh? It was untied, or was it twenty-three lines?" Han Jingyun smiled faintly, and then said nothing else.
Zhu Biao felt his excitement drop rapidly, and asked with a look of disbelief on his face, "Aren't you curious about the kind of person who solved the problem?"
"Well, I'm curious." Han Jingyun nodded seriously.
Zhu Biao felt something was blocked in his throat. He held it in for a long time and said with a red face, "You are just perfunctory with me. You are not curious at all."
"I'm curious, really." Han Jingyun added lightly.
Zhu Biao stood up helplessly and sighed, "Forget it, that's it. I'll go find out what kind of hero he is."
After saying that, he lifted his buttocks and left.
After Han Jingyun waited for him to leave, she smiled with satisfaction, picked up the book again and continued reading. After a while, her eyebrows began to tremble slightly, obviously she encountered some difficulty.
The people had just been shocked and excited by the news that Yu Qian had unlocked the twenty-three lines, and the next moment they were shocked by another news.
"The Duke of Zhen Guo has accepted a disciple, and the Duke of Zhen Guo wants to take Yu Qian as his disciple!"
Everyone who heard the news had their eyes reddened. Everyone knew that being accepted as a disciple by Duke Zhen was an even greater opportunity than reaching the sky in one step.
Who can not be jealous?
But after the jealousy, everyone looked helpless. They didn't have such an opportunity, and they could only blame themselves for their own incompetence.
If they have the ability to solve the academy's problems, they might also be accepted as disciples by Duke Zhen.
However, although they were disappointed in their hearts, it did not hinder the people's nature of gossiping. When the day came when Duke Zhen Guo officially accepted his disciples, even if they had no chance to enter Duke Zhen Guo's mansion, there were still people gathered outside the gate and refused to disperse. They
I just want to get as much first-hand information as possible, even if I go back and brag to others.
On this day, Yu Qian was wearing a satin blue shirt and stood politely next to the teacher, greeting the guests who came to the door.
"The Duke of Ying is here!"
Fu Youde was killed by Zhu Di. After Zhu Di's defeat, Zhu Biao immediately let Fu Zhong inherit the title in order to appease Duke Ying's lineage. Not only that, but in order to show Fu Youde's loyalty, Zhu Biao granted Duke Ying two thousand shishilu.
, even more than Handu’s.
Now, the Yingguo Palace is also one of the wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty.
"The Founding Duke has arrived! The Xin Guo Duke has arrived! The Wei Guo Duke has arrived!"
Chang Sheng, Tang Ding and Xu Huizu came together.
Although Han Du did not have much contact with Chang Sheng and Xu Huizu, they were both close confidants of Zhu Biao, and their relationship was relatively harmonious.
Now that Han Du is recruiting an unprecedented number of disciples, they will naturally come to support him.
Moreover, Yu Qian, who can be favored by Han Du, is not a mortal. Maybe they will have to deal with each other in the future. It is of course a good thing to get to know each other now.
"This is your disciple, right? What a talented person." Fu Zhong stroked his beard, took out a string of agarwood and stuffed it into Yu Qian's hand, "It's a little gadget, let's play with it."
Yu Qian was not an ignorant person. When he saw that the pendant on the string was a piece of warm suet-fat white jade, he immediately knew that this thing was extremely precious.
"This thing is too valuable, please take it back."
Fu Zhong's eyes widened and he became a little unhappy, "There is no reason to take back the things I sent out."
Yu Qian suddenly froze in embarrassment and looked at Han Du at a loss.
Han Du nodded slightly and nodded, "Take it."
Han Du and Yu Qian were standing here today just to accept the gift for him. If he didn't accept it, wouldn't he have been standing here for a long time in vain?
"Haha, I also have gadgets, let's play with them." Tang Ding took out a palm-sized delicate wooden box and handed it to Yu Qian.
Although I don’t know what is inside the box, the rosewood box alone is worth a lot of money, and the contents inside are certainly even more precious.
Everyone came in and gave Yu Qian the same gadgets they talked about. After a while, Yu Qian's hands were not enough.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"
Zhu Biao walked in with Han Jingyun with a smile.
"I will pay my respects to the emperor and my queen."
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor"
"The empress is a thousand years old"
Zhu Biao's smile did not diminish. He looked at the people kneeling in front of him and raised his hands, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yu Qian stood up with everyone, and just as he shook his head, he saw the emperor staring directly at him, and subconsciously shrank.
Zhu Biao was amused by Yu Qian's actions and laughed and said, "Are you Yu Qian?"
Yu Qian bowed quickly and said, "Back to the emperor, the common man is Yu Qian."
"It's true that a hero comes from a young age. You really fought hard for all the men in the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Biao sighed deeply.
When the people nearby heard this, they all subconsciously looked at the queen and nodded to themselves with concern.
