"Ginger is still the hottest thing." Emperor Wanli couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There is really a lot of stuff to do with Concubine Wang Gong!

"Zhang Jing." Emperor Wanli was a little excited.

"Long live the Lord."

"You think about this matter very thoughtfully!" Emperor Wanli changed his voice slightly, "But what if the princess is not the prince but the princess at that time? Wouldn't you be happy?"

Zhang Jing said hurriedly: "Hasn't you heard of it? The Empress Dowager is Guan Shiyin alive. She had long expected that Concubine Gong was a boy in her belly, so please rest assured."

"Yeah?"

"Herby, the Empress Dowager's words must be very accurate, otherwise the promotion of Yongnian Bo will not be pushed to the aftermath of the prince. Think about it, Yongnian Bo is your father-in-law. He has been promoted to Wuqing Bo as the Marquis of Wuqing before. There is a precedent. Yongnian Bo should be promoted to Wuqing, but Empress Dowager Li wants to be promoted to the aftermath of the prince. If Concubine Gong is a princess in her belly, wouldn't it be unfair to Yongnian Bo? It is widely rumored that the Empress Dowager has already decided that Concubine Gong will be a prince in her belly, so she made such a promise to Uncle Yongnian."

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Emperor Wanli murmured as if he suddenly realized, "I thought my mother was just concerned about giving her the benefits of the Li family, but she forgot or didn't want to give the benefits of the Queen Wang family."

"Long Sui, I will never know. The Empress Dowager was promoted to her father. It is impossible not to be promoted to the Queen's father. Otherwise, isn't it obvious that people can gossip? The Empress Dowager has adhered to the national affairs for ten years on behalf of the Emperor Long Sui, and she must have considered this."

"Well, it's reasonable." Emperor Wanli nodded in conscience.

Zhang Jing then said, "Take a step back and says that Concubine Gong is about to give birth. Whether it is a man or a woman in her belly, it is all the flesh and blood of Emperor Longsheng. Moreover, this is the first child of Emperor Longsheng. It is not wrong to care about Concubine Gong."

"Besides this, what other major things can I do recently?"

Zhang Jing said: "Long live, Concubine Gong's affairs require carefulness and responsibility, and the second major event requires the courage of Long live."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Jing said cautiously: "Correcting Mr. Zhang an inappropriate policy."

“What policy?”

"Because Mr. Zhang does not like Qingliu and metaphysics, and in order to reduce the burden on the country, he decided to ban private academies across the country four years ago, which caused great resentment and resistance at that time. However, Mr. Zhang still closed nearly half of the public academies across the country through forced pressure, and almost none of the private academies were spared and were forced to close. But as far as I know, not to mention scholars all over the world, even those in the court, they all think that Mr. Zhang's move was too fierce and was suspected of being caught with beard and eyebrows. Mr. Zhang almost offended all scholars all over the world."

"What do you want to say?" Emperor Wanli felt a little impatient when he heard this.

"Long Sui, don't worry first, because this matter is too big and it will affect the whole body, so you must be cautious. I want Long Sui to gradually restore the academies at all levels across the country..."

Emperor Wanli interrupted and said, "Isn't that going to make me oppose Mr. Zhang's reform policies?"

"Long live, I secretly think that good and reasonable policies need to be retained and promoted, but why should we adhere to bad and unreasonable policies? Mr. Zhang obviously offended scholars all over the world. There are rumors in the market: There are three people who cannot be offended in the Ming Dynasty: one eunuchs because eunuchs have no heart; two women, because women have long hair and short knowledge and small minds; three scholars because scholars are not afraid of anything. Long live, I think there is still a reason. Mr. Zhang offended scholars all over the world. If Long live, I pull the hearts of scholars all over the world to your side, then Long live will be loved by scholars all over the world, why not do it? But this thing requires courage, after all, it is a policy measure to overthrow Mr. Zhang. Long live, do you think this thing can be done?"

Emperor Wanli thought for a while and said, "Of course you can do it, but this matter is of great importance. How can I make the decision alone? I must discuss it with my mother and the cabinet."

Zhang Jing replied: "Long Sui Ye, I think it is not a problem to discuss with the Empress Dowager and the cabinet ministers. The problem is whether Long Sui Ye can convince them during the discussion. This is the key."

Emperor Wanli shook his head, obviously thinking that this matter was very difficult.

Zhang Jing said again: "Long live, do you know why I suddenly mentioned this?"

"Why?" Emperor Wanli didn't know it at first and was unwilling to use his brain.

Zhang Jing said softly: "Because of Prince Lu."

"Because of the Emperor's Brother?" Emperor Wanli asked in surprise, "Why is this matter still involved with the Emperor's Brother?"

"Long live, do you know the Deshi Academy?" Zhang Jing reminded, "It is Prince Lu who took in ten children and then transformed a dilapidated temple on Juer Hutong into a college."

"Of course I know this. Didn't I even donate money when I was transformed into academy?"

"But Holy Ho, I donated money at that time, and that school should be set as public, but Prince Lu must be classified as private. Because of this, the outside world is speculating whether Prince Lu has opened a hole for the private academy? And some people are already secretly ready to move."

"I'm afraid my mother won't agree to this matter." Emperor Wanli still insisted on this.

Zhang Jing encouraged him again: "Long live, I think so. If you don't feel confident in convincing Empress Dowager Li, you can ask Prince Lu. After all, he opened the mouth. Prince Lu must establish a private academy instead of a public one. I think there must be a reason."

Emperor Wanli: "Did the emperor's brother also oppose the ban on private academies across the country? So he deliberately opened a academies and determined to be private. Is that true?"

"Well, yes." Zhang Jing replied, "I think that Prince Lu should be able to do a good job in the ideological work of the Empress Dowager. But if it succeeds, the final benefit is for the Lord Long Live. Scholars are most particular and must be grateful to Lord Long Live. However, I think this second thing requires Lord Long Live's boldness."

Although Emperor Wanli did not answer, he nodded to express his agreement: thinking about Mr. Zhang's reforms have achieved such a major achievement, and as soon as he left the capital, he had to sing a opposite tune with him, which requires extraordinary courage!

Seeing Emperor Wanli pondering, Zhang Jing asked, "Long live, what's going on?"

Emperor Wanli said: "The suggestion is good. If you can bring the hearts of scholars all over the world to my side, it is of course worth doing. But this matter requires detailed planning and evaluation plans, and it cannot be done by talking about it!"

"Of course this servant knows it." Zhang Jing said, "As the saying goes, how can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den? If you kick your feet, the matter will be done. Isn't that the power of the Lord Long Live?"

"Yes." Emperor Wanli smiled again and raised his hand and ordered, "Send someone to invite the emperor's brother immediately. I have important words to say to him."

"Okay." Zhang Jing immediately sent someone to Cining Palace to invite Zhu Yiliu.

Zhu Yiliu has been waiting for a long time.

But to be precise, he had been waiting for many days, and he had been waiting since the "Deshi Academy" was determined to be a private nature.
