Yunxi returned to Wenhua Palace, calmed down his emotions, and then called all four eunuchs under him.
Wang Jin, Wang Bu, and the others each had their own affairs, and they were not always around Yunxi. Only Wang Xi had no management skills, so after sorting out the affairs of Wenhua Palace, he stayed with Yunxi.
The other three do not always meet Yunxi.
In terms of closeness to Yunxi, of course Wang Jin is the first, followed by Wang Xi, Wang Bu and Wang Gong are the third and fourth; but in terms of their current power, Wang Bu is the first, Wang Jin, Wang Xi are the second and third, and Wang Bu and Wang Gong are the third and fourth.
Wang Gong is fourth.
Because Wang Bu was very capable of management, and even Wang Jin could not manage Wenhua Palace in an orderly manner. Yunxi, because the four of them would not rebel, did not care about the general affairs of Wenhua Palace, so Wang Bu came from behind. However,
Wang Bu knew in his heart that his 'holy family' was not as good as Wang Jin and Wang Xi, so he treated them as his superiors, and he was fine with them.
The four of them were very surprised as to why Yunxi called them here. Yunxi had a very regular schedule on weekdays. Even if he wanted to talk to them, it was usually during lunch.
When all four people arrived, Yunxi said without deliberately going behind the other eunuchs' backs: "Today, the emperor's grandpa proposed my marriage." Yunxi felt that as the person he trusted the most, he should know it now.
The four eunuchs below had different expressions, but they were all surprised.
As his name suggests, Wang Xi was the first to look happy after being surprised and said: "Your Highness is finally getting married. Congratulations to Your Highness."
Wang Jin and others also said in unison: "Congratulations, Your Highness."
It was getting late now. After Yunxi finished saying what he wanted to say, he waved his hand to let them go. He didn't care whether he could read it or not, so he picked up the book and read it for a while before falling asleep.
The next morning, Yunxi got up and went to Chunhe Hall where Concubine Li and Yunying lived.
When he arrived at the Chunhe Hall and saw Concubine Li and Yunying, Yunxi exchanged a few pleasantries and said, "Grandpa Huang has chosen the grandson concubine for me."
Concubine Li stood up and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. I wonder which family is so lucky to be chosen as the Grand Concubine?"
Yunying also stood up and said: "I wonder who can be lucky enough to be my third sister-in-law for three lifetimes?"
Yunxi said: "She is the daughter of Xue Ning, the commander of Jinwu's rear guard."
Concubine Li's surprised expression flashed away, and then she immediately returned to a smiling face and said "congratulations".
Yunxi also returned the gift.
After the congratulations, when Yunxi planned to inform Concubine Li about Wenying's 'junma', Concubine Li said first, "Your Highness will probably talk about Yunying's husband-in-law next."
Yunxi said: "I can't hide anything from you." Then he said to Yunying who blushed and lowered her head to go out: "I am your brother, we are all a family, there is no need to avoid anything."
Then he said: "Your Majesty chose Cao Che, the second son of Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, as Yunying's honored guest; and officially gave Yunying the title: Princess of Jiangdu."
They didn't care about the title. Even if it was not good, they would just ask Yunxi to change it when he succeeded to the throne and made her a princess; but the choice of guest of honor could not be changed.
Concubine Li couldn't hold back her frustrated expression at all; Yunying kept her head lowered so that she couldn't see her expression.
Seeing Concubine Li's expression, Yunxi immediately said, "My concubine did tell me before that she did not want Yunying to marry into Fengjue's family; but this is the emperor's wish, and I cannot possibly change the emperor's wish."
"And grandpa will definitely not let Cao Zhen die a happy death. Please don't worry, Madam."
Concubine Li did not dare to complain about Yunxi, so she could only say: "That's the case, I'm relieved." She sent Yunxi out of Chunhe Hall with good words, and sent Yunying back to her dormitory.
But after coming back, Concubine Li sat in the room and sighed. She also knew that marrying Yunying at this time was to win over people for Yunxi, and she would not be executed like Li Shanchang; but marrying a general meant going to the battlefield to fight.
ah!
War means death, and maybe one day her heroic husband-in-law will die on the battlefield. She has been a widow for more than two years, and she doesn't want her daughter to be a widow again.
But it's too late to say anything now. Concubine Li could only pretend to smile and talk to Yunying.
Yunxi came out of Chunhe Hall and returned to his Wenhua Hall to take care of things. These days, Lao Zhu gave some less important matters to Yunxi for criticism, and then took care of them himself.
It took more than an hour for Yunxi to finish marking his essays and send them to Jinshen Hall. It was already close to noon. After Yunxi had eaten, he took Wang Xi on horseback to visit the martial arts hall.
A quarter of an hour later, Yunxi arrived at the Martial Arts Hall. At this time, most of the classes in the Martial Arts Hall were finished. Only the regular combat classes without fixed teaching items were still unfinished, so the sound of lectures that Yunxi was accustomed to could not be heard.
But that doesn't mean that students can relax. They also have a graduation exam, allowing all the students in the class to write questions. Each course will be scored out of ten, and there will be an overall ranking and a ranking for the two subjects of waterway.
Everyone knows that those at the top will definitely develop better, so everyone studies hard; and for those who have no ambitions, they can't do too poorly in the exam, as that would be too embarrassing, and there are rumors that the results will be too high.
Those who are bad will be deprived of their hereditary rights, so they are all "sharpening their weapons before the battle".
Along the way, Yunxi saw people studying hard, just like the overcrowded study rooms in modern universities before the final exam. There were also many people practicing martial arts or horse arching on the playground.
At this time Yunxi met Lan Yu's second son Lan Lian. When Lan Lian saw Yun Xi, he first saluted and then immediately said: "Congratulations, Your Highness."
The person next to him heard this and asked, "What's the good news for Your Highness?"
Before Wang Xi could speak, Lan Lian deliberately showed off and said: "This morning, His Majesty sent someone to announce that the eldest daughter of Mr.
Come on." He saw his servant at noon, so he heard about it.
Other students immediately came over and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness." Everyone had smiles on their faces.
However, there are also students from Beijing or Zhili who have heard or seen the flowers of the Xue sisters, and secretly feel sad for the two flowers...
Yunxi returned the greetings one by one. As more and more people congratulated him, Yunxi regretted that he had come to teach martial arts in the past few days. He should have taken care of the things to go to the yamen in the past few days; no matter what the yamen officials did,
I don’t dare to be like the students in the martial arts hall.
Yunxi finally managed to get almost all the students to return gifts before he had time to go to the office of Secretary Lian Zining.
Lian Zining obviously heard the sound outside and also said to Yunxi: "Congratulations, Your Highness."
Yunxi replied: "What kind of false etiquette are you talking to me about? It won't be too late to congratulate you when we get married. How are things going?"
Lian Zining regained his serious expression and said: "The gentlemen have already prepared the test questions for five courses including geography, and the answers have also been prepared for them; we have also discussed how to take the exams for the archery and horse class and the martial arts class. It's just a battle.
Your Highness has not yet made it clear how the strategy, command and combat examples will be tested."
Yunxi said: "I have thought clearly. These three courses will be merged into one exam. I plan to ask His Majesty to ask a question to describe the actual situation on the battlefield and let the students write down their own solutions; if they are not good at writing,
, you can let the secretary write it for you; your majesty and I will handle the final examination paper in person."
Lian Zining said: "Your Highness's method is good. The only way to know their abilities better than this is to fight on the battlefield."
Yunxi smiled and said: "Don't let them listen to what you said." He added: "You wait until I leave to inform them of this matter so that they can prepare. And the exam time has been set, starting from the beginning of next month.
At the beginning of the fifth day, there will be archery and horse classes first, then geography and other classes, and finally martial arts classes, with one-on-one competitions; I haven’t decided how to give this class a score yet, let’s talk about it later.”
Then Yunxi chatted for a few more words and left.
After Yunxi left, Lian Zining immediately wrote down the arrangement of the exam sequence and exam format, and asked the secretary to post it on the 'public notice board'.
