Because the original owner was too young and had been kept in captivity in the palace for as long as he could remember, he knew very little about the outside world, so he did not have much knowledge of the entire world in his memory.
The information I remember now is from the school. The Ming Empire attaches great importance to royal education. It is different from the previous world. In this world, even women with martial arts talent will be taken very seriously.
The founding emperor Ming Taizu left an imperial instruction that all princes and princesses should go out to study after reaching the age of six. At the same time, they began to lay the foundation of martial arts. The original owner was the product of a drunken sexual affair by Emperor Yuan Kang. His biological mother was of low origin, and his mother had difficulty in giving birth to him.
He died, so he was even less taken seriously by other princes and princesses.
Alas, it's so pitiful. It doesn't matter if he is not taken seriously. He is also jealous and ostracized by his peers because he has shown his martial arts talent. Although the older princes know how to hide it, Li Jie discovered through his memory that the eyes of these people were full of disdain for him.
His contempt was not concealed at all, and the original owner did not notice it because he was too young.
After a while, footsteps came from outside, and a young eunuch with delicate features pushed the door open and entered.
"Your Highness, it's already midnight, it's time to get up."
Li Jie opened his eyes and said drowsily: "Yes, I understand."
According to memory, the original owner would rest for an hour after lunch every day, and then go to the right wing of Huangji Gate to study. The lecturers were usually officials who were Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy or talented officials from various ministries, because in addition to teaching the princes knowledge
In addition, daily routines need to be taught.
It is not entirely true to say that the Ming Dynasty in this world is completely different from that in history. The central government also has six departments: officials, households, rituals, work, punishment, and war. It also has a cabinet. The political structure is almost the same, but the details
But they are not the same in aspects.
The prince's life is extremely boring and not as beautiful as he imagined. In addition to having to go to the library to study for an hour and a half every afternoon, he also has to go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts after breakfast every morning. His daily life routine is very regular.
After being served by the eunuchs, Li Jie just walked out of the room. Outside was a private courtyard. Not only was the original owner's biological mother dead, but the emperor didn't care much about him because he had too many children. He also had no interaction with other princes. He was completely a bastard.
It's a little transparent, so you don't have to worry too much about being noticed by others, but it's really tiring to pretend to be a child. Fortunately, the original owner is also taciturn, so he just needs to pay a little attention.
"Pu Xing, who will be teaching this afternoon?"
Pu Xing is the personal eunuch assigned to the original owner by the inner study hall. The inner study hall is an educational institution within the palace specially used to train eunuchs. It is similar to the Imperial College outside. The eunuchs assigned to each prince are basically the best in history.
A group of students, the Nei Shutang will select young eunuchs around ten years old who are good-looking, smart and can be cultivated to enter the school every year. There are about two to three hundred people enrolled every year.
Each eunuch will accompany the prince almost throughout his life, and is equivalent to the steward assigned by the inner court. Pu Xing is a few years older than the original owner. He is already fourteen years old this year. He is not bad in both martial arts and knowledge.
The fact that Pu Xing can stand next to Li Jie shows that he is one of the best people in that generation. Being assigned to the princes as personal eunuchs is something that many eunuchs dream of, because compared to the turbulent and treacherous Ouchi, personal eunuchs
One job saves almost twenty years of hard work, and the risks are minimal.
In this world, the Ming Dynasty does not necessarily follow the eldest son succession system when choosing a prince, but selects the best among the best. Of course, princes with no background like the original owner can almost be excluded, but the risk of seizing the legitimate son is not as great as imagined.
Probably because the royal family has
The Elders' House, every member of the Elders' House is from the direct lineage of the royal family, and they are all innate masters. It is rumored that there are masters among them. The Elders' House will never come forward easily unless there is a major incident. The original owner can know because he listens to those who are favored
What the princes said.
Pu Xing knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened, he would serve the prince in front of him for the rest of his life. Although the eighth prince was not taken seriously by the Holy Emperor, he was, after all, a member of the royal family. According to the education he received, he had been assigned to the eighth prince since then.
, his destiny in this life is closely related to the prince in front of him. Anyone can rebel, but he cannot, because even if he rebels, no one will accept him.
Therefore, among the people in this huge imperial city who were close to the original owner, it was only this young eunuch who was still very immature. Li Jie's memory of taking over from the original owner was very clear about this.
"Back to Your Highness, the one who will teach in the afternoon is Professor Zhang from the Hanlin Academy."
The Zhang Jiaoxi that Pu Xing mentioned was Zhang Jingyuan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy. He was a Hanlin official who had risen step by step from a commoner. He was about thirty years old. Although he did not have much talent in the world, he was more than enough to enlighten these princes.
of.
Depending on the age of the princes, the learning progress will naturally be different, and the royal teachers are not bad, so the princes are divided into three classes, A, B, and C according to their learning progress. The original owner was only nine years old and studied in class C.
It took the original owner's residence to walk to the Huangjimen for a stick of incense. The original owner usually went to the study hall after waking up from a nap. Li Jie had just arrived and had no intention of changing his mind.
"Pu Xing, let's go."
…………
When Li Jie rushed to the Youshunmen North Book Hall, it was still a while before class started. The original owner had not yet achieved any future achievements, but he had already begun to show signs of his deep thoughts. The reason why he arrived early was to avoid the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince.
He is about the same age as the original owner, and usually likes to tease the original owner. Although he is not very young, he is very thoughtful. He only bullies the original owner when there are no outsiders, so as not to leave a bad impression when being seen by the teacher.
The original owner was often teased by the two people, so he always rushed to the library early to avoid the two people's movement route because he could not afford to offend him.
Entering the study hall, Li Jie greeted the princes and princesses who were already in the study hall one by one. The people in the study hall at this time were all the older princes and princesses. They were neither enthusiastic nor indifferent to Li Jie's actions. It was better.
He would smile, and if he didn't like it, he would just nod with a cold face, and no one would care about him.
After a while, the princes and princesses arrived at Bei Shu Hall one after another. Seeing that the time was approaching, they entered the rooms of classes A, B, and C respectively.
After Zhang Jingyuan entered the wing, the ninth prince, the third princess, the fifth princess and Li Jie immediately stood up and bowed four times to him.
The ninth prince and the fifth princess are one year younger than Li Jie, while the third princess is the same age as Li Jie. The princes and princesses are ranked separately, not together. As for why there is no fourth princess, because
She died young. Even if martial arts flourished in this world, the meridians in the infant's body are not fully formed due to their young age, and they cannot withstand the internal force at all. Therefore, even if they are born into the royal family, there is no guarantee of survival rate, but it will be higher than that of ordinary people.
