But no matter what, Li Heng finally left the show, and Muzijiao probably won’t be able to make any waves in the future.
The heads of the Muzi Sect rebels who had been identified, including the stone tablet that caused the ricochet that day, became a place for people to watch. The first group of onlookers described the scene vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty wrote a letter asking her to go back quickly, but Yan Shiyue wanted to stay here for a while and build a large academy.
She had been thinking about this issue when the rankings were divided between north and south, and now was the time.
There's no need to go to Fucheng, it's just right here. Peace has the advantage of being quiet.
She used money to choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. She spared no expense and bought many books. She first built a library that was not inferior to the Imperial College and Imperial College, and then recruited famous scholars from all over the country to come and teach.
She ran around for several days before choosing a mountain. She bought the entire mountain and built it to accommodate more than 2,000 people.
Shen Qian and others persuaded her not to go so big, but she refused.
It should not only be big, but also good, with a good environment, with mountains, water and green plants. The dormitories where students live have first-class facilities. They are warm in winter and cool in summer. Although there are four people in a room, they are cleverly separated by folding angles. , we have a small space where we can study hard without disturbing each other.
Students are treated well, and teachers are treated even better.
In addition to the academy, a circle of small houses with two, three, and four entrances were built in the circle. The great scholars who were preparing to teach could bring their families and live in them.
It was also a coincidence that as soon as she had some preliminary ideas, an old acquaintance came to her door.
It was the student from Gusu who built Huo Qijing's house. He took the initiative to come to the house with his growing Cheng family class and helped with the design, claiming that he would not pay any wages.
Of course, she still had to pay for the labor. After the drawings were approved, some people were quickly gathered to help build it, and the Yue Workshop also had free manpower to build everything needed.
At the same time, Yan Shirong drafted a letter to recruit great Confucian scholars, and then distributed it through Yan Bao to the world.
When the prince received the letter and came to see Xu Wenqu, Xu Wenqu was busy writing.
As soon as they came back from the south, they encountered Yan Shirong's problem. After the matter was settled, Yan Shiyue wanted to build an academy again.
During their trip, they did get to know a few great Confucians from the South, but they didn't think much of them.
After all, these great scholars have long taken root in the south and are not willing to move easily. Besides, great scholars with names and surnames all value their status and reputation. It would be better if they could just hire one person and one family, but what she wanted to do was to be the Imperial College In such a big academy, that is to say, every gentleman is "one", and no one wants to go there.
Xu Wenqu was currently writing letters to those he knew.
The prince asked him: "Yueer is looking for you?"
"No," Xu asked the channel: "But Yue'er told me about this idea a long time ago."
The prince really didn't know what she was thinking: "Isn't it an academy?"
"No," Xu Wenqu wrote in a precise manner: "What she wants is a 'school'."
This matter was not a temporary achievement, and Yan Shiyue was not in a hurry.
Qinzhou was considered her territory, and she felt comfortable there. She even went back to Jubao Village several times to visit Qiao Sangyu and Yuefang.
As the birthplace of Lady Fortune, Jubao Village has infinite scenery. People from all over the country want to marry here and get some blessings. The village is much more lively than when she left, and the old patriarch is getting younger and younger.
Tang Xiu's parents also came to see her. They heard that their daughter was not married yet, but they didn't say anything. They just said that it was all up to His Highness.
On the other hand, Fourth Uncle Tang... I heard that his secret recipe was deceived by Uncle Tang less than three months after she left. Now that Uncle Tang has been invited away, he is competing with Fushou Liquor in a wine shop in the town.
, the two brothers had completely fallen out.
Yan Shiyue didn't intend to help either.
If this person doesn't stand up for himself, even if she helps him for a while, he won't be able to help him forever.
Xia Yuhui probably had the same idea, so he didn't interfere.
But she was not a fake princess. She just went to see Fourth Uncle Tang once, and Third Uncle Tang came to apologize. It is said that she knelt at the door and kowtowed, crying bitterly.
Fourth Uncle Tang only said that they would not be allowed to sell Fushou Wine in the future and did not take any money from them.
These things, for her to see now, are really trivial. Even hearing them as gossip is boring.
A few days later, someone handed over the post. It was Zhu Zhongyuan, a well-known scholar.
It is said that this man was born with the same Jinshi, but he failed to pass the imperial examination, and then "laughed away" on the spot without becoming an official. It is said that he was very talented and had many disciples, so he was called the number one scholar among the people.
Yan Shiyue doesn't know whether his articles are good or bad, and she can't understand his articles anyway.
But according to Xia Yuhui, it's still pretty good.
Moreover, this person has quite a temper, and she is a royal princess no matter how you say it. However, the post he sent was not a request for an audience, but "I am at a certain place at a certain time of a certain year and a certain month." It meant that he wanted her to come and visit her.
After all, it was just the beginning of the matter. Besides, he had come to Longmen County on his own. Yan Shiyue was still willing to tolerate the weird tempers of these literati. In any case, he had to behave like a corporal of courtesy, right?
So she took Xia Yuhui to meet him.
Zhu Zhongyuan was a fat little old man. He came out with his disciples and had a humble attitude. After sitting down, he said: "I thought His Highness would bring Xu Liuyuan here."
Yan Shiyue said: "Mr. Xu is not here as he is studying in front of the imperial family. This Mr. Xia is also a graduate student. He just encountered an accident and did not take part in the subsequent exams."
Zhu Zhongyuan glanced at Xia Yuhui and said with a smile: "A slightest loss is like a thousand miles."
What do you mean? Does it mean that he is not very good if he has not passed the examination? Then if you have passed the imperial examination but failed in the morning examination, it is also a slight mistake, right?
Yan Shiyue didn't understand what he meant and didn't speak.
Then Zhu Zhongyuan and Xia Yuhui chatted for a while citing scriptures, but Yan Shiyue couldn't understand many of them.
I just heard what he said time and time again: "There are many students in the north who are ambitious but not very talented, and the private schools in various places are both good and bad. Once you enter the examination room, you will inevitably make people laugh..."
When she said it for the first time, Yan Shiyue didn't interrupt, but after saying it twice more, she couldn't help it and said, "Isn't Mr. Zhu a northerner himself? Why do you look down on northern students so much?"
Zhu Zhongyuan paused. Then he said: "I heard that it was His Highness who proposed the North-South ranking list?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Yes."
Zhu Zhongyuan smiled.
It's the kind of tolerant smile an adult would show when seeing an ignorant child: "This is inappropriate. The imperial examination is a matter of survival of the fittest. If we just want everyone to be happy, doesn't it deviate from the original intention?"
Yan Shiyue only said: "Although I proposed this matter, it was only after the imperial meeting passed the decree."
Zhu Zhongyuan shook his head repeatedly, but said no more. Then he said: "I heard that Your Highness is going to build an academy, and I am willing to contribute my modest efforts."
Yan Shiyue said: "I have long admired Mr. Zhu's name. If he is willing to come, we will naturally welcome him."
Zhu Zhongyuan smiled reservedly and said, "It's just that I have a condition."
