After the dispersion of the dynasty, the emperor did not make any changes to Jiang Mingyu's appointment as an official, and still maintained the prince's attendance on him.

Although the emperor was a little dissatisfied with his straight-faced personality, he could only reluctantly accept the congratulations from the civil and military officials of the court.

Three days later, before dawn, Jiang Mingyu put on his court uniform and entered the palace according to the order.

Today is his first day as an attendant, studying with the prince.

Because of Jiang Mingyu's outspoken words during the interview in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he has completely gained popularity!

Not only the civil and military officials of the court, but also everyone in the palace knew about him; all kinds of rumors about him had spread to every nook and cranny in the palace.

It's just that in the palace, the mainstream public opinion about Jiang Mingyu is still relatively negative; this can be easily seen from the attitude of the eunuchs in giving Jiang Mingyu various kinds of shoes to wear.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. If someone dares to confront the emperor in front of the court, the eunuch will definitely not give him a good look!

However, Jiang Mingyu himself did not notice it, but Butler Zhang who was following him quickly realized that something was not right about the atmosphere; because almost all the courtesy that should be given to the new champion, such as lighting a lantern to light the way, serving water, and serving tea, were omitted.

!

Thanks to Jiang Mingyu's side, Butler Zhang, who once served as the Minister of Staff, knew the rules of the palace quite well.

If Butler Zhang hadn't been prepared and used the banknotes to open up the joints along the way, given Jiang Mingyu's personality and the eunuch's narrow-mindedness, Jiang Mingyu wouldn't be able to enter the palace even at dawn!

Accompanied by Butler Zhang, the two successfully arrived at the Wenhua Hall where the prince studied.

In the lecture hall of Wenhua Hall, a large podium is placed on the second stage in the center of the hall; under the stage are two desks placed side by side.

At a glance at this configuration, you can tell that in this hall, only the prince and his attendants are teaching together.

According to etiquette, the attendant arrived earlier than the prince. At this time, in the Wenhua Palace, except for Jiang Mingyu and Butler Zhang, there were only eunuchs in the palace.

The father-in-laws are busy tidying up the palace.

The desks, podium, palace lanterns, and imperial chairs were all arranged and positioned; there was another team of eunuchs on the side, preparing the Four Treasures of the Study and the Collection of Confucian Classics and History.

"Hey... look who's here, isn't this Mr. Zhang?"

Eunuch Ming held a whisk in his hand and greeted him in a strange manner.

"My father-in-law has said it before! I am already a commoner, and I dare not call you an adult anymore."

Butler Zhang said humbly.

Eunuch Ming: "Alas, who doesn't know that even though Mr. Zhang has been dismissed from office, he is still a guest of the Weng Ge Lao Mansion. It is not an exaggeration to call him "Sir".

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Butler Zhang, who had some friendship with Eunuch Ming, did not hesitate and said straight to the point: "The number one scholar has just entered the officialdom. I hope that my father-in-law... can give me some advice."

While speaking, he took out a banknote from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into the palm of Eunuch Ming's hand!

"Oh, you... look what you are saying!"

Father-in-law Ming received the banknote familiarly and stuffed it into his pocket.

Then he continued: "What kind of relationship do you and I have that we need to talk about this? I mean... what is the relationship between the Number One Scholar and you? Why bother so much?"

"Ashamed to say that!"

Butler Zhang smiled and said shyly: "I... am now the master of the Number One Scholar!"

"Master!"

After Eunuch Ming suddenly realized this, he said: "That's no surprise. Hahahaha... It must be Mr. Wengge's arrangement."

After finishing speaking, Butler Zhang smiled and said nothing.

Later, after Butler Zhang explained Jiang Mingyu's rules and taboos about companion reading, he sorted out the desks and classics a little, then followed Eunuch Ming out of the lecture hall and waited outside.

According to the rules, in order to avoid disturbing the progress of the class, idlers must stay away during the teaching period. Unless summoned, no one is allowed to enter until the end of the class.

At three o'clock in the morning, the prince, accompanied by his eunuchs, also came to the lecture hall of Wenhua Palace.

The prince did not wear formal court clothes today, but wore a white python robe with gold silk.

This robe has a white background and is embroidered with layers of golden silk pythons. It is vivid and lifelike, as if it is real and illusory. The bright white robe is glowing with golden light, which is really beautiful.

On his head, he wears a gold crown with seven stars and a dragon, and a red pom pom stands on the crown, which is eye-catching.

This golden crown is decorated with seven gold stars, symbolizing the high power of the emperor.

The coiled dragon curls up and shows its majesty.

The red pompom on the top marks the prince's royal status, hanging high like a blooming lac flower.

The prince's features are so picturesque and his temperament is so extraordinary that people dare not look directly at him.

Accompanying his steps, the prince's uniform shimmered with golden light as he marched, attracting everyone's attention.

His appearance seemed to inject light into the crowd, making people feel awe and admiration. This costume is undoubtedly the best interpretation of the prince's noble status and royal bloodline.

"Weak ministers Jiang Mingyu and Jiang Xingqiu have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." When Jiang Mingyu saw the Crown Prince arriving, he quickly got up and bowed to see him.

After being interviewed by the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the prince had a preliminary understanding of Jiang Mingyu and admired him for daring to defy the emperor!

"Master Jiang, no courtesy..." The prince helped Jiang Mingyu up politely and said, "Your accent doesn't sound like a northerner..."

Jiang Mingyu: "Yes, I am from Nanping and Dongzhou."

"Nanping... is far away!" The prince then asked, "Is your family okay?"

Jiang Mingyu: "Back to Your Highness, my family has moved to the capital at the end of last month and has been settled properly."

"That's very good." Then the prince asked again: "Master Jiang, how much is your age this year?"

Jiang Mingyu: "Seven out of twenty."

"Eh... Then you are three years older than me!" The prince looked at Jiang Mingyu carefully again and commented: "No wonder Jiang Zhuangyuan is young and promising! He has a handsome appearance and the beauty of a young man."

"Your Highness has said it before, a humble minister is no more than a scholar." Jiang Mingyu said modestly.

The Crown Prince: "What's wrong with being a scholar...the one who becomes a general or a prime minister, manages the world and benefits the people, is none other than a scholar; half of the world in our dynasty is supported by scholars, and you are all the pillars of the country."

In the court, not only officials desperately wanted to curry favor with the emperor or prince, but the prince also actively wanted to make friends with officials so that he would have a team of his own to use after inheriting the throne in the future.

When the prince first met Jiang Mingyu, he was impressed by his outspoken drive; now that they meet again, he is even more curious.

After several exchanges, it was discovered that not only were the two of them similar in age, but they also spoke congenially, and they also had similar interests, and their goodwill quickly increased!

Not long after, the teacher entered the hall. According to Butler Zhang’s advance introduction, the first lecturer today was Mr. Ye Zonglin, the minister of Honglu Temple.

I saw Mr. Ye entering the palace wearing a scarlet robe, with a two-foot black beard hanging directly on his chest, his manners were elegant and dignified, and he looked exactly like a Confucian model.

After paying homage to the prince, he immediately walked to the podium, opened the book, and began to teach. Today's lecture is about: The Doctrine of the Mean.

Regarding the Doctrine of the Mean, Jiang Mingyu heard it taught by Mr. Ye in his private school when he was in his hometown in Dongzhou. Today, he listened to Mr. Ye review it again, and it was even more subtle.

Jiang Mingyu listened with great interest, but the prince beside him felt sleepy!

Several times, Mr. Ye had no choice but to step down from the podium, come to the prince's side, and use his high-pitched voice to wake him up.

It worked for the first few times, but after half an hour, the prince couldn't wake up! Mr. Ye had no choice but to tap the table with a ruler to wake up the prince!

Although Jiang Mingyu could still listen at first, as time went by, even he gradually felt tired!

It has to be said that Mr. Ye’s tone of voice when teaching is like white noise, which quickly makes people feel tired. He is simply an expert in hypnosis!

This can't help but make Jiang Mingyu admire his previous attendant!

I thought to myself: What kind of iron man can persist under this kind of hypnosis teaching for three years?

To be honest, if Jiang Mingyu came to listen to this kind of class, it would be better to play chess and chat with the prince. At least there would be something to gain.

If it weren't for the emperor's order, Jiang Mingyu would definitely have fallen asleep.

Turning around to look at the prince, who was sleeping without any scruples, Jiang Mingyu instantly felt a sense of pity for him!

As the crown prince who inherits the throne, I have to listen to lectures for five hours every day. This kind of high-intensity study is indeed quite torturous!

It is really doubtful to discuss the effectiveness of Lord Ye's education on the prince.

Jiang Mingyu estimated that if three years passed like this, the cultural level of himself and the prince would probably become a joke in the palace.

Mr. Ye is the first lecture of today’s course.

An hour later, the crane sign enters the palace for the second lecture, and it is another hour; followed by the plum sign and the rabbit sign.

The last lecture was given by "Lu Tanwei", Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Lu.

It was not until the beginning of Shen Zhengyou that the prince and Jiang Mingyu finally got through the day and welcomed the end of get out of class.
Chapter completed!
