Let us go back to the first day of the first lunar month in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu.
Early that morning, Lao Zhu took Yunxi to worship at the Ancestral Temple. This was Yunxi’s second time to worship at the Ancestral Temple after he was canonized as the emperor’s grandson. Although Yunxi had experienced soul penetration, he still did not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, thinking that it was
It is caused by scientific principles that the scientific level of the 21st century has not yet reached, so I am not pious when I come to worship the ancestors of the Zhu family, but I am very sincere on the surface.
Instead, Yunxi paid attention to the tablets in the Ancestral Temple: Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Zhu Wenzheng, Deng Yu, Liu Ji... and the recently added Mu Ying and Lan Yu, all of whom were famous for later generations.
Ah! It is with the efforts of these people that "Expelling the Tartars and Restoring China" has changed from a slogan to a reality. "God's way will be restored, and China will be rewarded" is not a fantasy. No matter what they think in their hearts, they should
be remembered forever.
The emotional Yunxi filled his eyes with tears because he thought of the "historical contribution" of Xu Da and others. After paying homage, Lao Zhu turned around and saw Yunxi with tears dripping down his face. He was surprised at first, and then felt relieved.
There was a big banquet in the evening, and Yunxi and Lao Zhu attended again. However, there were too many people. Yunxi could not remember a few people, and he had no time to talk to someone alone; and he had to act according to etiquette, which was more important than doing work.
Tired, Yunxi ended the banquet in great pain, returned to Wenhua Hall and lay down on the bed to sleep.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, starting from the second day of the first lunar month, the holidays ended. All officials had to go to work on time and complete the work according to the quantity. They were not allowed to slack off. Every year, some people were punished for slacking off on the first lunar month; Lao Zhu also returned to work.
Yunxi also quickly returned to work and was busier than before; people from all provinces outside Zhili who came to the capital to study at the martial arts hall had already arrived in the capital, so preparations for the martial arts hall had to be stepped up.
In the second year of junior high school, Yunxi went to inspect the construction of the school building and lecture hall of the Martial Arts Hall. The school building had been built, but the outer walls of the teaching lecture hall had not yet been painted. The decoration and wall painting materials at this time were more toxic than those of later generations. Although the ancients did not know
principle, but we also know that it should be ventilated and dried.
However, most people in ancient times did not have the conditions to decorate their houses. The school building of Jiangwu Hall adhered to the concept of economy and did not carry out interior decoration, so it did not need to be left open for a few days. Yunxi directly let the students who had already arrived in the capital live here.
Then Yunxi has to think about classes. Other classes are easy to handle, and the husband has already made time. No matter what day the class starts, it can be done; but the only general in Beijing is Cao Zhen, and Cao Zhen cannot be the only one in the three classes.
Zhen can speak alone; besides, as for the eight Lu Shiban, unless he has three bodies, there is no way he can speak alone. Yunxi tried his best to persuade Lao Zhu to order the transfer of Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Ying Guogong Fu Youde and others.
return.
In fact, Lao Zhu had already planned to let them return to Beijing. He just planned to wait for the second or third time before recalling them. Now it is just a few days earlier, which doesn't matter.
Now even the students coming to the martial arts hall from various provinces that have not yet arrived in the capital have already submitted their student lists, so Yunxi needs to determine the candidates for each class.
It's easy to say that there are only two classes in the naval class. Yunxi didn't bother and just assigned students from Guangdong, Zhejiang and Beiping provinces to one class, and students from Fujian, Zhili and Shandong provinces to one class.
It would be a lot more troublesome to divide the Lu division into different classes. First of all, there are a lot of powerful children. Yunxi and Lao Zhu discussed it and decided not to let them all gather in the same class, otherwise there would be a problem of being too biased towards this class.
, so there are three or four children of the Duke's family in the same class, together with other students from 'ordinary' backgrounds - in fact, most of the students from other provinces have hereditary families, but there are three ordinary soldiers among the fifteen places in the capital.
Born student.
In order to confirm that these three people were indeed ordinary soldiers, Yunxi specifically asked Chang Sen, Geng Xuan, Guo Zhen and Zhang Shu before he could be sure.
Yunxi carefully looked at the files of the three of them. They were indeed excellent. They were only sixteen or seventeen years old and had strong martial arts skills. They were also literate and familiar with the four books. They were modest and good-looking. They met all the standards for talent evaluation in this era. No wonder
Can be selected to enter the martial arts hall.
Yunxi finally decided to let these three people gather in the same class. "Let's see if there will be sparks among the top students." Yunxi thought.
Class division is very troublesome, and students with bad family relationships cannot be placed in the same class, otherwise the class may become unstable. People from the same faction can be placed in the same class, but they cannot be placed in the same class as students from the leader of their faction.
class.
In addition, province issues, age issues, etc. need to be considered, to name a few. Yunxi, Geng Xuan and others spent several days in the Wenhua Hall, and asked Chang Sheng and Chang Sen's opinions before they compiled the class list.
Completed and reported to Lao Zhu. As for telling students which class they are in, it is Chen Xingshan's job.
The last thing to be determined next was the start time of classes. On Xinyou Day of the first lunar month, Yunxi and Lao Zhu went to worship heaven. On the way back, Yunxi asked: "Grandpa Huang, it's almost February now. How about the martial arts hall?"
When do you plan to start classes?"
Lao Zhu pondered for a moment and said: "February 2nd is the day when the dragon raises its head, so choose it on the third day of February."
After Yunxi came back, he made arrangements for the start of classes. Now, students from all over the country who came to teach martial arts, except for those who were delayed due to accidents, have already arrived in the capital. Yunxi also asked Chen Xingshan to inform them that school will start on February 3rd.
Speaking of which, Yunxi sent Chen Xingshan to take charge of matters one after another. Except for people close to Chen Xingshan, everyone else thought that he was trusted and reused by Yunxi. This made Yunxi not pay attention when being taught by Hanlin Xu Zongshi and Chen Nanbin.
The worried scholar became calmer.
Yunxi was in charge of the "opening ceremony" again. He hurriedly completed the preparations on the first day of February and was waiting for the start of school on the third day of February.
On the third day of February, all the students were woken up at Yinshi (3 to 5 am). Many students may have just woken up in the morning and didn't know where they were, and they scolded the person who woke them up.
But when they saw clearly where they were, except for three or five people who still didn't feel anything, the others immediately woke up and covered their mouths, and some even apologized to the people who came to wake them up.
Then they washed themselves up. Because Yunxi insisted that servants were not allowed to be brought into the school building, violators would be immediately expelled. The parents of these students also felt that it was really inappropriate to bring servants into the martial arts hall, so they did not dare to insist.
Most of these people who come from families with 1,000 households or less have no servants of their own, so they have to do all the washing and fetching water themselves, which is not much of a problem. Among those who command families, how many of them have fetched water themselves? They are all replaced by servants.
, so the washing speed on site is extremely slow, the order is still poor, and it can be chaotic.
It wasn't until two o'clock that they were organized to line up on the playground.
At two o'clock in the morning, there was a noise outside, and groups of guards walked into the playground. The students lining up on the playground immediately became energetic because they knew that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was here.
Speaking of letting Lao Zhu personally preside over the opening ceremony, it was Yunxi who persuaded Lao Zhu through repeated persuasion. Yunxi thought: First of all, Lao Zhu was the principal of the Martial Arts Hall, but no one could remember this. Now let Lao Zhu
Zhu personally presided over the opening ceremony, which reminded them that old Zhu was the principal. Speaking of which, these students were also disciples of the emperor, so they paid more attention to them.
Later, once these students remember that they are the emperor's disciples, they should be able to increase their interest in serious study - there is a gap between the crown prince and the emperor after all - and reduce the possibility of causing trouble.
Lao Zhu came here after leaving the court. He and Yunxi came by car together at Chengtianmen. Not only them, but also all the gentlemen and all the generals came to attend the opening ceremony. The lineup was very gorgeous. If there was a chlorine gas at this time,
Poison them all to death, and Ming Dynasty will be finished.
After Lao Zhu got out of the car, he walked to the stage step by step. When he reached the center of the stage and cleared his throat, everyone was fully focused because the formal ceremony was about to begin.
