This day is the opening day of Yenching University. Zhu Zhancheng arrived early. Zhu Zhancheng also found a president for Yenching University.
Yu Qian.
As a court official, theoretically he should not come to the university to serve as president. However, the existence of Yenching University is the same as that of the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty. It is included in the national administrative unit. Although Yu Qian, the president, does not have a clear distinction between grades.
Although he is an official position, his salary is one level higher than his own job.
Theoretically speaking, he was promoted, and the emperor allowed him to hold two jobs at the same time. His position was still retained, but he could only receive one salary. Of course, he could not take care of the affairs of the court for the time being.
Yu Qian felt a little uncomfortable wearing the clothes Zhu Zhanzhen spent a lot of money to make for him.
When Yu Qian was being tailored before, he said no, he could just wear his official robe, but Zhu Zhanzhen told him that now that he was the president of Yenching University, he had to look good, otherwise he would look like someone else.
Yenching University has mistreated its president and will also mistreat its students in the future.
In desperation, Yu Qian could only ask Zhu Zhanchen to spend money, but he also told him not to spend too much. He said he would pay for it himself.
But when he put on this spiritual robe today, Yu Qian was helpless. It wasn't that he was unwilling to pay, but that he really couldn't afford it.
Zhu Zhanyang had Yu Qian tailor-made a set of clothes using Jinzhuanghua, a tribute from the royal family.
The Ku Brocade of the Ming Dynasty was later known as Yun Brocade. Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been a tribute to the imperial court and has been deeply loved by the royal family.
Drink.
"My husband is very energetic with his blue and white color." Yu Qian's wife looked at her husband from the side and couldn't help but feel happy in wearing such expensive clothes. She also accompanied her husband for such a big event today. Although
I couldn't go to the stage, but I was happy watching it from a distance.
It is true that people depend on their clothes.
Yu Qian still felt awkward, and Zhu Zhanzhen said: "You, you are wearing this outfit. It is blue and white, which means a life of innocence. It is made from a dark green floral gauze python suit. No python, no flying fish.
You can rest assured that Xiangyun has not exceeded the rules of etiquette."
"Your Highness, the style does not go beyond the etiquette, but the material does go beyond it. This is a royal tribute." Yu Qian's face almost turned into a bitter look.
"I have already told my father that I have money and have nowhere to spend it. I am afraid that I will be remembered. I have to use it anyway. It would be more comfortable to use it myself. Stop talking and come on stage. The principal is speaking."
Yu Qian went up to the stage. Under the stage were the first batch of students from Yenching University, the jury of the Hongxi Literature Award, and a bunch of people watching the fun.
Naturally, he could not show his timidity at this time, so Yu Qian cheered up and went to the stage to speak.
Zhu Zhanzhen watched from the background as Yu Qian spoke with great enthusiasm.
Yu Qian's wife walked up to him and Chen Xinyue and saluted: "Thank you, Prince and Princess, for promoting Yu Qian."
During this period, Chen Xinyue had a good relationship with Yu Qian's wife according to Zhu Zhanzhen's wishes, so he took care of her and said, "Huiming, there is no need to be too polite."
Previously, Chen Xinyue wanted to address her as sister, but Yu Qian's wife Dong didn't dare bear it, so she finally called her by her first name.
"For the doctor to be the pillar of the country, my prince is a person who loves talents. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. The friendship between the doctor and the prince is the story of a gentleman. You don't have to worry." Chen Xinyue still saw how Yu Qian's wife treated Zhu Zhanyi.
Yu Qian was rewarded with a large sum of money and expressed concern.
She knows her husband's temperament well.
Mrs. Dong was very grateful to Zhu Zhanyang. Before meeting Zhu Zhanyang, Yu Qian's career was not smooth, and it could even be said that it was a little unsatisfactory. However, since Zhu Zhanyang appeared and took Yu Qian to fight in the Western Regions, Yu Qian has now
He was a doctor in the Ministry of War and the president of Yenching University. Although he was young and held a high position, he had the vague air of being a newly rich man.
At this time, a little boy ran over and ran in front of Zhu Zhanzhen: "Fifth uncle, fifth uncle."
The boy with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain cannot be said to be very good-looking, but he is very upright. This is Zhu Zhanqi's eldest son, Zhu Qiyang, and the North Korean princess Li Shang is his mother.
Zhu Zhancheng now has two sons, but unfortunately they are not legitimate sons. Therefore, even if he is a concubine, Zhu Qilong is now the first heir to the throne of Zhu Zhanqun's vassal king. And in general, his violent second brother has nothing to do with this eldest son.
It's pretty good, and it also treats Li Shang much better.
Now Zhu Qiyang is brought back to the capital. Because of the relationship between Li Shang and Li Xiaozhu, Zhu Qiyang often goes to Zhu Zhanzhen's house. This child is a well-behaved person. I think with his mother's teachings, he should also be very close to Zhu Zhanzhen, his uncle.
Thanks to his mother's teachings, Zhu Zhanyi would take him to play whenever he had nothing to do.
Li Xiaozhu ran over after chasing the eldest nephew and stopped him: "Qi Ying can't run around. It will be troublesome if he gets into trouble here."
"Auntie, this place is so beautiful. What kind of place is this? It's so big. It's much bigger than my father's palace."
Theoretically, she should be called Aunt Lee Hyo Joo, but because she is a member of the royal family, any lady is usually called a wife, even if she wants to be an aunt, she has to be called a royal concubine, so she is called Aunt Lee Hyo Joo, which is more affectionate.
Li Xiaozhu smiled slightly, her eyes shaped like crescent moons: "This is Yenching University built by your fifth uncle. Look at the people below who are studying in this school."
When Zhu Qiyang heard about the school, he immediately choked up: "The teacher is very bad, and he just beats up if he doesn't know how to do it."
snap
Zhu Zhanyi patted Zhu Qiyang's head. Zhu Qiyang looked at Zhu Zhanyi in pain and said, "Fifth uncle, why did you hit me?"
"Learn something good at a young age. If you don't learn it well, you won't even be able to marry a wife."
"My father promised to marry me a fifth-room wife in the future."
Zhu Zhanzhen was speechless. How could he, the second brother, say this to a child?
"Forget it, let's go play. You are still young. When Qi Zhen is older, I will give you two classes together."
Zhu Qiyang quickly ran out to watch the fun.
Chen Xinyue looked at Zhu Qiyang with a little sadness. When will she have her own child?
Girls under the age of twenty think about becoming mothers every day. If modern boxing girls knew about this, they would still scold you as a holy machine every day.
The opening ceremony of Yenching University is going on in an orderly manner. Zhu Zhanzhen has a little leisure time. The Hongxi Literature Award will be coming soon, which can only be said to be a break in the busy schedule.
When everything seemed to be calm, a horse on a horse galloped thousands of miles from the city gate of Shuntian Mansion. When it arrived at the city gate, the horse couldn't stop for a moment and rushed in. It didn't stop until it fell to the ground.
The guards in the capital held weapons and surrounded the horses and people who suddenly broke in.
The horse was dressed as a Ming Dynasty soldier. It was obvious that the fall just now was not light. The horse could not stand up, and the man also fell to the ground. It looked like his leg bone was broken.
This man broke through, and the guards were about to escort him, but he took out the urgent letter from Qianli and shouted with pain: "Expedited letter from Qianli, hurry! Quick! Send someone to deliver it to Your Majesty."
After taking out the letter from Tianjin Port, a guard immediately took the letter and rode to the palace.
The injured messenger said again: "Quickly, send someone to inform Lord Hai that Zheng He is back, Zheng He is back!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. There were many people around now. Most people knew Zheng He's name, and everyone knew that Zheng He was deceived by Zhu Zhanzhen to go sailing and travel by saying that the world is round. So,
Haven't been back for many years.
This is also one of the two points why Zhu Zhanzhen is often said to have brain problems. The other point is that humans are derived from monkeys.
Now Zheng He is back, he is back!
But no one knows whether Zheng He sailed to the end of the world and came back, or whether the world is really round and he circled the world and came back.
Naturally, people are rewarded for notifying such important events. There were already people in the palace just now, and everyone was also vying for Zhu Zhanzhen. In the end, the leader of the imperial guards set out to report the news on his own in line with the principle of not losing money to outsiders.
.
Yanjing University was now crowded with people and very lively. The leader of the imperial guard rode to the gate of the university and arrived at where Zhu Zhanchang was. He couldn't squeeze in for a while.
What to do if you can't get in? Just squeeze in.
Fortunately, the men in his army were strong and he squeezed his way into the crowd of literati.
When he arrived at the front, Yu Qian's principal had just finished his speech. The crowd was so noisy that he couldn't find Zhu Zhanzhen's whereabouts for a while, so he simply started shouting.
"If you have any questions, please see His Highness the King of the Sea."
"If you have any questions, please see His Highness the King of the Sea."
"If you have any questions, please see His Highness the King of the Sea."
But Zhu Zhanzhen didn't hear his call. He ran all the way and now he was panting and shouting: "His Royal Highness, Zheng He is back!"
When the people nearby heard his voice, they stopped talking and looked at him in shock.
"Your Highness Neptune, Zheng He is back!!"
The range of sound that could be transmitted was further, everyone stopped, and Zhu Zhanyi in the background also got the news.
"Outside Your Highness, a man dressed as the commander of the imperial guards of the capital is shouting." Xiaosheng said in a panic.
"What to shout?"
"He said that Zheng He is back!!"
Zhu Zhanzhen instantly stood on his head with chills. His excitement could not be suppressed. He slapped the table and stood up: "I'm back, I'm back."
He strode outside with Yu Qian and others following him.
"Your Highness Neptune, Zheng He is back!!!"
As soon as I walked out, I heard the man shouting again.
"Who is under the stage?" Zhu Zhanchen asked loudly.
Seeing Zhu Zhanzhen coming out, the man immediately saluted: "Wei Chen Yulin, deputy commander of the left guard, Tang Fang."
"What did you shout just now? Louder, I can't hear you."
"Expedited letter from Tianjin Port, Zheng He is back!!"
Everyone could hear it clearly. Zhu Zhanzhen deliberately asked him to be louder so that everyone could hear clearly. He wanted you to say that I tricked Zheng He into going out, and for you to say that my world was round was a hysterical attack.
Now that Zheng He is back, this is irrefutable proof.
"Reward, fifty taels of gold."
Wow
Everyone in the audience was stunned. They knew that Neptune was rich, so this move was too generous. This was money that Deputy Habayashi Zuowei could not earn in his lifetime. He could earn it just by reporting a message to Zhu Zhanzhen and shouting a word.
arrive.
Zhu Zhanzhen took up the limelight and continued: "Zheng He's return from his voyage around the world is a first-class event. Yenching University will teach everything he saw and heard on the sea. Today, the opening ceremony continues, with the Hongxi Literature Award
The opening ceremony continues, I will leave first, I will go out to greet Zheng He."
Xiaosheng knew Zhu Zhanzhen's thoughts well and had already led his horse over while he was speaking.
Zhu Zhanchen flew onto his horse, whipped his horse and rushed towards the city gate.
…
Inside the palace
Zhu Gaochi also got the news, and his reaction was similar. He stood up in shock. At this time, Zhu Zhanji was discussing the Northern Expedition beside him. He was shocked and said: "Is the world really round?"
Everyone thought Zhu Zhanzhen's words were nonsense before, just like a man transformed from a monkey. But Zheng He believed him and even set sail. There has been no news for so many years. Most people thought that Zheng He was dead.
At the end of the world, but today news came that Zheng He was back.
Zhu Zhanji asked eagerly: "From what direction did Zheng He come back?"
The imperial guard said with some trembling: "The person who sent the message only said that the news was sent back by the fleet on the sea around Japan."
"The Japanese Sea?!" Zhu Zhanji's scalp went numb.
If we were to turn back, we should come back from the Western Ocean and the Southern Ocean, and then we should come back from Jiaozhi. But now we are coming back from the east. Could it be that we really went around the world and came back?
Zhu Gaochi no longer hesitated: "Quick, quick, bring the messenger in, let the imperial doctor treat him, and send someone to notify Zhan Yi."
This is a major event that changes the world. If it is truly established, the world will change.
"Your Highness, Prince Hai has already set off towards the city gate."
"Zhanji, go, you go too."
"Yes, Father."
Zhu Zhanji also rode there.
Zhu Zhanyi arrived at the city gate first, and the injured messenger was being bandaged. Zhu Zhanyi dismounted and asked, "But you sent the message that Zheng He is back."
"This is His Highness the King of the Sea." The person next to him introduced.
The messenger hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Highness the Sea King, the South China Sea Fleet sailing off the coast of Japan has received news that they have received Master Zheng He's warship and are now returning."
"Off the coast of Japan!" Zhu Zhanzhen was overjoyed and said with a wild smile: "I know it, I know it, Zheng He can do it, others can't, Zheng He can definitely come back."
"Prepare a special train. I want to go to Tianjin. I want to sail to the sea to meet Zheng He."
Zhu Zhanzhen's excitement could no longer be suppressed.
At this time Zhu Zhanji arrived, and he had never seen Zhu Zhanchen so excited.
He had never been so excited when he was crowned king. Only then did Zhu Zhanji understand that Zhu Zhanji cared more about things like Zheng He's return voyage than power and wealth.
At this time, another messenger rushed over.
"Report! Zheng He's fleet is returning and will arrive at Tianjin Port tomorrow."
Zhu Zhanzhen was extremely excited and was about to set off.
"Zhan Zhen, wait."
"Brother, I can't wait any longer."
"I mean, wait for me to go with you." Zhu Zhanji smiled.
The two of them packed lightly and headed to the train station and immediately set off for Tianjin Port to meet Zheng He.
It’s time for the Ming Dynasty’s Age of Discovery to set sail.
