062: The old man becomes the essence
"It's also a grievance for that guy." He tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper inside and shook it open, and slowly looked at the content on it. After a while, he folded the letter paper again. "It seems that this leisure time is not enough."
The old slave was stunned for a moment, "Is this planning to enter Beijing?"
"Go and have a look." Yang Qi stood up and walked into the study, and the old slave followed him. "Your Majesty opened two universities in Shengjing, Shengjing University and Shengjing Women's University, and added a new yamen, the Ministry of Education. The boy said in the letter that Your Majesty asked him to persuade me to return to Beijing and serve as the Minister of Education. I don't need to be cared about anything else, just to keep in mind the private schools in the world. I am a little interested in this."
He started to be nearly forty years old and would accept a disciple every year during the imperial examination. Over the years, he also accepted more than 30.
The Yao family's rebel party was destroyed, and ten or eight died. Except for three or two who died prematurely and three or two who resigned due to illness, the rest are currently in the court.
Su Ying, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Rites, Guan Sinian, and Minister of Justice, Lin Jianshan, both of them were from Yang Qi.
"Shengjing Women's University?" Lao Nu was a little confused. "This little Majesty set a precedent and actually allowed women to enter school."
"It can be seen that it is not easy to do things under this little emperor." Yang Qi has been in the officialdom for decades, and has seen more deeply and thoroughly than others.
The old slave was puzzled, "What does this mean by the master? Do you disagree with women studying?"
"It's not like that." He sat down at the desk. "The previous empress had this idea, but unfortunately it was not implemented. Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"Of course, it was because the civil and military officials in the court refused to give in. At that time, she had fought with the court officials for more than a month, but it was finally left unresolved." Yang Qi leaned on the back of the chair. "How old is our little emperor now? He has just taken power for less than half a year, and there are more than a dozen disciples in the court, but he cannot stop her consecutive decrees. Do you know why?"
“…I don’t understand.”
"Of course it's because of her iron-blooded and unwilling nature. Su Ying, a kid, has a straightforward temperament and has always said anything. He never knew how to detour, otherwise he wouldn't have offended Yao Huan and ended up in prison. But now he hasn't persuaded His Majesty. Why is this? Is he afraid of death? It's not necessarily that he wouldn't have eaten the prison meal for those years." Yang Qi had an old fox-like smile between his eyebrows, "So, the people in the capital must leave."
Through the lines of Su Ying in the letter, Yang Qi outlined such an empress who was mentally prepared even though she had not met her.
She was able to break down the powerful alliance between Queen Mother Yao and Yao Huan, and make unscrupulous reforms, not because she cared about the world.
In his eyes, the empress just regarded everything she controlled as a game. It would be best if she succeeded, and even if she failed, she would not care.
In the hearts of the people of Dazhou, they seemed to be a benevolent emperor, but in fact they were watching everything coldly, and even had a strong sense of play.
I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a disaster to hand over the Great Zhou Dynasty to such an emperor.
The Yang family is full of branches and leaves. Although Yang Qi only has one son and one daughter, his son has already become a grandfather, he has three grandsons and two great-grandsons. Moreover, the Yang family's direct descendants and the side-sects are mixed, and they are the top prestigious family in Dingzhou Prefecture.
Yang Qi was born in a side branch. Because of his own achievements, he has been suppressing his direct descendants for decades and is even cautious when they breathe. Yang Qi doesn't care about this at all, but he can't resist the Yang family's reputation and gain a foothold.
Now that they learned that Yang Qi was going to Beijing and might even re-employed, everyone in the Yang family became active again.
"After your father leaves, don't restrain your clan members, and don't act as a magistrate under the banner of being a father. Once I know, don't blame your father for letting you look embarrassed in front of your grandson." Before leaving, Yang Qi secretly reminded his son.
Yang Shu smiled bitterly, fortunately, his descendants were not here, otherwise his face would be gone now.
"Dad, you are so old, it may be inappropriate to travel to Beijing for a long distance. Let Zhiyuan send you to Beijing." Yang Shu is now fifty years old. Although there is such a famous father on it, because Yang Qi never cared about affairs in the mansion and would not make any mistakes at others, he took his grandson and great-grandson to study and learn calligraphy in his spare time. Therefore, he had a good relationship with Yang Qi since he was a child, and there were no such messy things in the mansion.
Yang Qi snorted lightly, "You are not as strong as the old man, I am so worried about it."
"..." Yang Shu really didn't know how to refute it. Who asked the old father to tell the truth?
"But it's not bad to let Zhiyuan go with you. Originally, your junior brother Su Ying said that you might be able to join Enke this year. This time, I wrote that Enke gave up. Although Zhiyuan is still a scholar, Shengjing University in Beijing is not without hope. The child has been studying hard for more than ten years for his father. If it weren't for the Yao party's crime, he would have been in high school in the early years. This time he went to the capital with his father to see if he could enter Shengjing University."
"Dad, you'll be the decision." Yang Zhiyuan, whose courtesy name is Zhengning, is Yang Qi's youngest grandson. He just won the championship a few days ago and is also the youngest scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He won the first place in the palace examination at the age of twelve.
Because Yang Zhengning was young, Yang Qi held him down and thought about waiting for three years. Who knew that the Yao family began to commit crimes three years later, and this wait took eight years.
Fortunately, the child's personality was stable, so he was highly valued by Yang Qi.
Both Yang Shu and the eldest grandson Yang Zhengde are much inferior to this young grandson.
Early in the first morning of March, Yang Zhengning helped Yang Qi get on the carriage and left Dingzhou Prefecture with respect from his tribe members.
Because Yang Qi is old, he must not be too hurrying along the way, and there is no urging in the letter. It is easier for those who travel around the country and the river to enjoy the mountains and rivers. It is expected that the time will be delayed by about a month on the road.
From early February to now, it took a month to complete the road on the Lujiang River.
This road is close to Jingzhao Mansion, and the whole venue is about 6,000 meters. At first glance, the entire road is stretched and there is no end to see.
As the first road to completion in Shengjing, Xie Lang also wore court robes and brought civil and military officials here to attend the completion ceremony.
The luxurious and noble Luan Jia walked along the way, and the people around him knelt down and shouted long live. If it were the past, they could not have imagined that the current life would be so peaceful. They only dared to look forward to the future in their hearts or with their families in the middle of the night. At that time, they thought about when they could die the Yao family, but now they were more thinking about when such a jade belt-like road could be built in front of their own homes.
Xie Lang is actually not very interested in this. She has seen too many cement roads. Compared with cement roads, it is not as comfortable as asphalt roads. After all, the driving noise of asphalt roads is small and has certain shock absorption. The key is that even if there is a future bug, she cannot command domestic craftsmen to study it in the short term, so she can only give up.
But relative, it is normal to have a difference between the two, but of course they have their own advantages and disadvantages.
