Wen Zhenmeng got into the carriage and his body was still trembling, which was angry. He originally thought that the eunuchs in the DPRK and China had not yet been cleared, and that peace should still be valued among the comrades of the party. And his remarks in the court meeting today were indeed a bit excessive, but he didn't expect Liu Zongzhou to look dignified, looking like a humble gentleman, but he was so frivolous in private, which made Wen Zhenmeng angrily go straight to the carriage and go home.

Yao Ximeng, the nephew sitting next to him, looked at his uncle with some concern, but he didn't expect Mr. Qishan, who is known as a gentleman in the party, to be so narrow-minded. He persuaded his uncle, who had always been stubborn, to take the initiative to come to repair for the unity of his party.

As a result, Mr. Yushan avoided saying nothing, and painted a portrait of Zhong Kui looking at the sky with his hands on the prayer post. I have to say that the person who painted Zhong Kui has profound skills, and he only painted a Zhong Kui alive with just a few strokes.

But to use Zhong Kui to turn them away from the door is not to treat them as little ghosts. Yao Ximeng was also dizzy at this time, forgetting that there was no Wen Zhenmeng's name on this worship post. He took it for granted that Liu Zongzhou regarded their uncle and nephew as treacherous and drew Zhong Kui to exorcise evil spirits.

Although Yao Ximeng was annoyed, he still restrained himself. However, Wen Zhenmeng is really angry, Wen Zhenmeng is a young man, but he has never been able to pass the Jinshi, and he has failed the ten examinations, so that he has also been ridiculed by many fellow villagers, although the last time he finally became a big man, but his self-esteem is also extremely strong, and it can even be said that he is conceited.

Wen Zhen Meng dared to write to Tianqi to attack Wei Zhongxian and other eunuch members when the eunuch party was at its most arrogant, but it was not driven by this extremely conceited character.

If Wen Zhenmeng still had the heart to repair just before he came, then on the way back, his hostility towards Liu Zongzhou had surpassed the so-called remnants of the eunuch party.

Wen Zhenmeng's carriage slowly disappeared into the dim light that was gradually blurring as the sun continued to fall. For the civilians of the capital, it was an ordinary day, no different from usual. But it was a long and bizarre day for the officials of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the impression of the eunuch party was nothing more than a mess of loose sand united by interests, but at today's court meeting, people are surprised to find that the Donglin party does not seem to be able to unite there.

When the sun rises again, it is a new day in the capital. People living in the vicinity of Guozijian found that the street leading to Guozijian was re-covered with loess today, and the garbage piled up in the vicinity of Guozijian had been cleared.

This situation is only the spring and autumn two sacrifices of the Confucius Temple in the Guozijian every year, but today is not a day of memorial, many well-informed people finally inquired, it turns out that today is the Emperor Chongzhen, who has just ascended the throne, came to inspect the Guozijian.

Zhu Youzhen sat on a chariot, a carriage decorated with jade and ivory. The carriage was surrounded only by a fence and a circular roof, and silk and cloth curtains obscured Zhu Youzhen's communication with the outside world.

The two-wheeled carriage without a shock suspension system and the backrest without wooden carriage plates make this seemingly luxurious and noble emperor's frame not comfortable to sit on at all. And the ceremonial officials who were in charge of the emperor's travel, on the grounds that the frame halogen book was formulated by Chengzu, rejected Zhu Youzhen's request for a light car to travel.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, the reason why these officials must insist that the emperor must have a guard of honor when traveling is not because, as they say, they want to ensure the emperor's prestige. Instead, they were afraid that after the emperor's travel was too simple, these officials would not be able to know when the emperor would appear with them.

If this was not his first trip to Guozijian, and to show that he valued his future university, he would not have compromised with the ceremonial officer and traveled in such a seemingly grand but very uncomfortable way.

Guozijian is in the Chongjiao Workshop in the north of the city, close to Ding'anmen. When Zhu Youzhen's guard of honor arrived outside the gate of Guozijian, Xu Guangqi and the officials in the former Guozijian had already knelt outside the gate to welcome the emperor's arrival.

The frame stopped, and under the guidance of the two eunuchs, Zhu Youzhen walked in front of these officials, asked them to come together, and briefly expressed condolences. These officials in the Guozi Prison, except for the original sacrificial wine, have never had the opportunity to see the emperor in their lives, and it is a dream for them to be able to talk to Chongzhen at such a close distance.

In the early stage, Guozijian was still the training place of Ming officials, whether it was Taizu or Chengzu, they attached great importance to it, but when the officials from the imperial examination became the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty, Guozijian was no longer valued by the emperor.

If it weren't for the Confucian Temple being in the Guozijian, it is estimated that the Ming Emperor would not have remembered what the Guozijian was. In this way, it became a common practice for the officials of the country to not see the emperor.

Zhu Youzhen ordered the transformation of Guozijian into a university and abolished the official status of Guozijian's teachers. But when Chongzhen got off the frame, he didn't go directly into the Guozi Prison, but helped these officials one by one and gave them cordial condolences, and all the dissatisfaction of these lowly officials disappeared.

These officials were selected into the Guozijian because they could not be admitted to the Jinshi, and their hearts were full of resentment, and their talents and Jinshi may not be much worse, but once they were elected to the Guozijian, they could only serve in this low-level official position for life.

Now that Chongzhen has stripped them of the last coat on which they maintain their self-esteem, some people are naturally very angry. But now Chongzhen has returned their self-esteem to them in another form, a respect they had not received before, which has raised a little hope for the university that will soon be renamed.

When Zhu Youzhen helped these officials up one by one and had a brief conversation, the ceremonial officer who accompanied the emperor on his trip was constantly giving him hints. I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will not continue this kind of behavior that is completely unceremonious, but Zhu Youzhen turned a deaf ear to this.

Judging from the excitement on the faces of these officials whom he personally lifted, Zhu Youzhen somewhat understood why future generations, regardless of Chinese and foreign leaders, liked to do some pro-people actions, and this was undoubtedly the best way to buy people's hearts.

If most of the officials here used to be loyal to his status as emperor, then Zhu Youzhen can be sure that many people now have some elements of personal allegiance to him.

There were about dozens of officials in Guozi Prison, and it took Zhu Youzhen more than half an hour to meet with them. Near the main entrance of Guozijian was Xu Guangqi and two Western missionaries.

After Xu Guangqi's introduction, one of these two is called Jinnige and the other is Deng Yuhan. These two are not only academicians of the upcoming Daming Royal Academy of Sciences, but also teachers of Western studies at Yenching University in the future.

Because of the turmoil in which Guozijian erected a statue of Wei Zhongxian, Guozijian priest wine and priest were transferred, and now the highest official in Guozijian is Liu Yourong, who has always been regarded as a good gentleman.

Because Guozijian was about to be changed to a university, Zhu Youzhen did not appoint a new priest and priest. Liu Yourong stood behind Xu Guangqi, and he didn't dare to come out until Zhu Youzhen began to inquire about the situation in Guozi Prison before he came out to explain the situation in Guozi Prison for Chongzhen.

The east side of Guozijian is the Confucian Temple, and the west side is Taixue. And Zhu Youzhen must first go to the Confucian Temple to pay tribute to the sages, and then enter Taixue to listen to lectures.

When Zhu Youzhen entered Taixue, he was greeted by a circle of buildings surrounding the buildings on a high platform in the center of a pool, which looked like a copper coin.

The building on this high platform is called Biyong, and the buildings on the left and right sides of Biyong are called six halls, which are: Frankness Hall, Chengxin Hall, Chongzhi Hall, Monastery Hall, Justice Hall, Guangye Hall, which are the classrooms of the tribute students and prison students.

The prisoners of Guozijian all stood on the squares on both sides of the road in front of Biyong, welcoming Chongzhen's arrival. According to the previous practice, at this moment, Zhu Youzhen should enter Biyong and take a seat, and then lecture these prisoners.

However, it is obvious that today, Zhu Youzhen does not plan to go into Biyong, which the prisoners cannot see, and lecture these prisoners through the inner attendants.

He stopped halfway down the road and looked at the prisoners to the left and right. If the prisoners didn't stand far enough, it was estimated that it would look even more ugly, and Zhu Youzhen's estimate was about 400 people.

Zhu Youzhen observed very carefully, the prisoners standing on both sides of the road were relatively young and good-looking, but there were all kinds of characters standing in the back, and there were several prisoners of age, and it was estimated that they could be the fathers of the prisoners in the front row.

Seeing that these prisoners had only stood for such a short time, and they were all staggering, Zhu Youzhen's original idea of hoping to select a few talents from them suddenly disappeared a little.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen standing still, the supervisor Liu Yourong was a little at a loss, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Guangqi as if he was asking for help, this Lord Xu seemed to be going to manage the affairs of the university in the future, so Liu Yourong had a familiar face in front of Xu Guangqi since the morning.

Seeing Liu Yourong asking for help after being busy with him in the morning, Xu Guangqi couldn't help coughing, stepped forward and said to Chongzhen: "Please move to Biyong, Your Majesty, so that you can lecture the prisoners." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled at Xu Guangqi and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, please wait." ”

Then Zhu Youzhen suddenly raised his voice and said to these prisoners: "Today is the first time I have come to Guozijian, and I should have said something to you. But when I think about it, it doesn't seem like a good fit. I know nothing about you, what can I say to you?

Guozijian was originally the place where I cultivated the pillars of the country, but I was very disappointed, in the past 50 years, Guozijian has not produced a talent that can be called a pillar. If I come here today and just give you a few words of encouragement, then the meaning of my coming here will be lost.

So I decided that before I speak, let you tell me for yourselves what kind of person you are. Wait a minute, all the prisoners go back to their seats, write two articles and give them to me, one is a brief introduction to yourself, no more than 50 words; The other is to write an article about what you are best at or what you like. Essay norms are not limited to either article, but the time is limited to one hour. ”
