"All dear friends, please get up. Apex 23S. The fastest update." Yun said with a smile: "I am not summoning you to see you today to discuss matters. You all need to get up. There is no need to kneel down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone agreed and bowed again before standing up.
Yun glanced around their faces and saw that although almost everyone was trying their best to suppress it, their happiness could not be concealed. Of course he knew the reason, but at this time he did not say anything about it, but said: "Hui Zu, Chang Sheng, Lan Zhen, Li Jinglong, Cao Che, Geng Xuan, and Xue Ning, please don’t disperse with everyone after the court tomorrow, come to Qianqing Palace, I have something to tell you.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The seven people he named agreed.
"Cao Che, how is Lord Cao? I have been too busy these days and have not had time to visit him. I really should go and have a look. Geng Xuan, I heard that Marquis Geng is not in good health when he comes back from Shaanxi. He will go to court. I am also holding myself together, and I have been sick recently." Yun added. After Chen Huan and Zhang Yi were defeated, Cao Zhen and Geng Bingwen were the only two founding heroes left in the imperial court, and among them Geng Bingwen had long become the only Yun also has no intention of knocking down the first batch of heroes who have been awarded titles, so of course he has to pay attention to them at this time.
"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your concern. Although my father has not been very well since his serious illness last year, he is still in good health and has no serious problems. He still practices martial arts in the indoor martial arts field every day. Your Majesty is so busy with things, how can you delay your time because of my father? If my father knew about it, he would definitely try his best to persuade your majesty not to go," Cao Che said.
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your concern for your father. Because my father is old and the northwest is cold, he is ill, but it is not serious. In the past few days, I have been sick and have found a famous doctor to treat my father. It is just a winter injury. After taking the medicine, there is nothing wrong with me. It’s just that I have to stay at home to recuperate for a few more days when I am old, which is not worthy of His Majesty’s concern." Geng Xuan also said.
"Having said that, they are all the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. They followed the late emperor to fight for the Ming Dynasty. How could I ignore them? I will go and see them when I am free in two days." Yun said.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Cao Che and Geng Xuan could only say.
Suddenly, many envious eyes looked at the two of them. His Majesty just said those words to those children, and now he told them that he wanted to visit their father. It can be seen that the two families were going to get a big piece of the cake.
Naturally, there are people who are jealous of them, but now that Yun is here, the jealous people only dare to lower their heads and dare not raise their heads to look, for fear of being discovered by Yun.
Yun said a few words to Cao Che and Geng Xuan again, asking them to leave. Then he coughed a few times and said loudly: "I have tentatively decided that the academic system of this school will be six years, just like the Martial Arts Hall and the Imperial College. Generally, we take a rest from the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth day of every month, and from the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month to the second day of February during the Chinese New Year. That’s all.” He suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said to the parents of the students in front of him: “They are just children, I decided to The practice of bathing every ten days has been changed to bathing every five days. If you take a bath on the fifth or tenth day of the month, you can go home. There is also a summer vacation in July every year, so there is no need to go to school."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Almost all the parents of the students said happily. Although they sent their children here because of the emperor's order and because they believed that the emperor would not cheat so many people, they are their children after all. , it would be a lie to say that I don’t miss it. Especially the female relatives at home are not always out of the house. According to the original regulations, they have so few holidays for a month and they can’t see each other very often. They can only stay together for a while during the Chinese New Year; according to the original regulations, they can only stay together for a while during the Chinese New Year. How can I not be happy that the new regulations can be seen for more than twice as long?
"My dear friends, you don't need to thank me. I didn't think about this well at the beginning. The students in this school are only 12 or 13 years old. How can they be the same as the students in the Jiangwu Hall or the Imperial College? It's reasonable to give them a thank you holiday.
As it should be.”
Yun waved his hand and continued: "I have already laid out the rules for what they will learn in these six years. The six arts of the gentleman, including etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and number set by Confucius, are the first, supplemented by what I think they should learn.
Some things.”
"According to the rules, no one who is not from the school is allowed to enter the school without my permission. I will instruct the person guarding the gate. If an irrelevant person is let in, I will deal with him severely!"
Yun said a few more words, and finally said to them: "There are two things I would like to ask you, dear ministers. They are completely different from the students of the Imperial College or the Jiangwu Hall. Their future official positions will not be those who need to study something intensively.
It is an official position, but an official position that oversees the overall situation, so what they learn will be similar to the Imperial College or the Martial Arts Hall, but most places are not the same, so don't be surprised when you hear about it in the future."
"Secondly, in a few days, some of my clan members will also be sent to this school to study. You don't have to be surprised either."
But even if he said this, how could the people present not be surprised? The first thing was fine. They had all been prepared after hearing Yun Shicai's speech to the students, but the second thing was too unexpected.
The children of the clan actually want to study in this school? Many people had shocked looks on their faces.
Yun still didn't care and continued: "On the day when the clan members come to study in this school, I will come again to warn all students, regardless of whether they are clan members or not, they must treat each other as equals and must call each other classmates instead of classmates.
Any other names. If I find out that you have other names, or someone is trying to deceive you by honoring your status, I will never let you go easily."
"I have nothing else to tell you. It's getting late now, and I should go back to the palace. Dear friends, you can stay in this school for a while longer, but you must leave before the beginning of the day. The students are still young, so they can't be greedy.
Night."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Everyone said hurriedly.
Yun nodded and was about to leave the school and return to the palace. At this time, it was already dark, and he saw that all four of his children were sleepy, especially the three sons who were standing aside with their eyes squinted.
It's time to go back.
Everyone was about to bow down to see him off. But then Li Jinglong suddenly remembered something and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not named this school yet. If the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly. I ask your Majesty to give it a name."
Everyone also said as if suddenly enlightened: "Your Majesty, please give me a name."
"Yes, I almost forgot," Yun said with a smile: "It really should be given a name. Otherwise, a school without an official name would not look good."
"In that case, let's call this school Five Cities Academy."
