From His Majesty’s words, Zhang Yu understood His Majesty’s meaning and also knew how powerful His Majesty was.

After all, no emperor has ever stipulated why scholars study. Everyone has their own opinions, and more of them are based on my proposal.

Why do I need to study?

What will I become after reading the book?

But the current Majesty is obviously not like this. His statement is: Why do you want to study? Let me tell me. If you say that studying is for yourself, then you will appear too low-end; you must study for the rise of the Ming Dynasty.

These are two different realms, so Zhang Yu also knows what His Majesty thought of doing.

Although he had not thought about unifying his thoughts, Zhang Yu also knew that His Majesty did not want scholars to have too many random thoughts and wanted them to convert.

Of course this is what Buddhism says, but it basically means that.

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Yu hurriedly bowed and said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty's words can solve the difficulties of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and the glorious righteousness has shocked the past and present! I really admire you in my heart. Your Majesty's academic achievements are comparable to that of a great scholar."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Yu and felt helpless.

Zhang Yu's flattery really made Zhu Youxiao feel a little uncomfortable. It was not because the other party flattered too directly, but because Zhu Youxiao was not used to flattering and said things whenever he had something to do.

Perhaps because of the people who came from later generations, Zhu Youxiao had long been tired of this false kindness. Below this kind of polite face, there was an unknown heart hidden.

So Zhu Youxiao would rather be more sincere than his ministers. To put it in a later generation's words, it means more sincerity and less routine.

Looking at Zhang Yu's appearance, Zhu Youxiao had to be amazed. It is rare for Zhang Yu to say the flattery words so sincerely.

Feng Congwu, who was on the other side, also looked at Zhang Yu helplessly, and he felt a little regretful.

Originally, Feng Congwu thought Zhang Yu was a talented person, and he considered it the best in terms of knowledge and planning; and what he lacked was planning, so he could cooperate with him. There was nothing, everyone was planning big things together.

But now Feng Congwu feels that he has read it wrong.

The reason is very simple. Zhang Yu showed no integrity. He said whatever His Majesty said, and he could say anything flattering. This is obvious that he was a charming minister who said cleverly!

It would be fine if this was the case alone, but Zhang Yu is still a capable person.

Shameless, capable, can charm the enemy.

This is exactly like a lucky minister. And it is likely to become a favorite minister, and it is more likely to become a powerful minister!

Of course, the last point depends on whether there is such a talent.

But Zhang Yu has this talent, and this is what a powerful minister looks like.

If you have to make a metaphor, Feng Congwu thinks that Zhang Yu looks very much like Yan Song, and he has more means than Yan Song.

If I had known Zhang Yu like this, I wouldn't have come with him. The reason was very simple, that is, such a minister basically had no good ending.

No matter what official position they have, or how favored by His Majesty, it is useless. When it comes to liquidation, these people will be ruined and probably won't even be able to save their lives.

Feng Congwu was very regretful. What are he trying to get involved with Zhang Yu now?

I am so old, and although I still want to do something in my heart, I want to keep my name in history and have a good reputation.

If you get involved with Zhang Yu, your reputation will be ruined in the future, and it will be hard not to regret it!

But at this level, it seemed that it was a little too late to regret. So Feng Congwu looked up at his Majesty, hoping that his Majesty could reject Zhang Yu or scold him for his behavior.

But it disappointed Feng Congwu, Zhu Youxiao smiled, and laughed happily, looking at Zhang Yu with admiration, as if he was very helpful to his flattery.

This made Feng Congwu's heart suddenly turn upside down.

No, don’t take Zhang Yu seriously!

"Although I first became a treasure, I was very busy every day. I started to correct the question paper in the morning and couldn't rest until late at night. But even so, I never put it down and I dare not forget to read."

"For such a long time, I have some experience. What you said is comparable to a great scholar. I dare not recognize it, but it is not considered ignorant."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao smiled again, turned to look at Feng Congwu and said, "You have accepted a good student."

Feng Congwu was stunned. Zhang Yu was not his student!

He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although I want to accept Zhang Yu as a student, I don't have this opportunity. Because I took action too late, Zhang Yu has already become a disciple of the cabinet Master Han."

While talking, Feng Congwu's face showed a very annoyed expression.

When Zhu Youxiao saw this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Old fox, do this with me?

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Who said that the world can only worship one person as his teacher? When studying, naturally, those who are capable of becoming teachers are of course good. It is beneficial to worship a few more teachers."

"For example, I find someone to come to the palace to give lectures every day, and it's all different people. The teachers the late emperor found for me are not one or two. Since you are willing to accept disciples, I naturally cannot sit idly by. This beauty of adulthood is what I like."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Are you willing to take Feng Aiqing as your teacher?"

At this time, Zhang Yu must not dare to refuse. This was proposed by the emperor, and it was in front of Feng Congwu.

If you choose to refuse at this time, what will your Majesty look at? What will Feng Congwu look at?

Zhang Yu quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "Students have always admired Mr. Feng's character and knowledge, and have always wanted to learn from him. But the students are ashamed of themselves and are ashamed to speak."

"I am really grateful to the students for being able to get the on-demand today." After saying this, Zhang Yu quickly turned around and kowtowed to Feng Congwu, saying, "Students meet the teacher."

Feng Congwu quickly helped Zhang Yu up and said with a smile: "Then you can follow your teacher from now on."

After seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao smiled even happier. He pulled off a jade pendant and said, "I am in a good mood to witness such a good story today. I will give this jade pendant to Zhang Yu, which is considered a gift I gave you."

"Student, thank Your Majesty." Zhang Yu hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, then raised his hands high above his head.

Chen Hong, who was standing beside him, had already taken down the jade pendant from Zhu Youxiao's hand, walked quickly to Zhang Yu, and reached out to put the jade pendant into Zhang Yu's hand.

After buying Wen Liang, after getting the jade pendant, Zhang Yu hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed to thank him.

Zhu Youxiao nodded gently and said with a smile: "This is a big deal for apprenticeship. After you go back, you will prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony. Remember to be more careful."

"Don't worry, your majesty, the student understands." Zhang Yu quickly agreed.

At this time, Zhang Yu also understood in his heart that His Majesty was asking him to take Feng Congwu as his teacher. As for what His Majesty thought, it is unknown.

Reminding yourself that the etiquette of apprenticeship should be more important is to compare Feng Congwu and Han Du, warning yourself not to be favored by one or the other.

Although Feng Congwu, who was on the other side, had a smile on his face, his heart was mixed.

He knew that he could not escape this time. Now Zhang Yu has come to his disciple and is his teacher.

Many things have to be kept in hand. This time, no matter what they do, they have to do it. Your Majesty is binding himself and them.

Thinking of this, Feng Congwu could only smile bitterly.

As for Zhang Yu on the side, he was helpless, knowing that this time he might be roasted on the fire.

He first worshipped Han Du as his teacher, and now he worshipped Feng Congwu's disciple. It didn't have much to do with it at first, after all, Feng Congwu's students are all over the world, and not many of them are more.

But once Feng Congwu is favored by His Majesty from today, things will immediately become different. He has gained the trust of the cabinet chief and also gained the trust of Feng Congwu's favorite minister. What did he become?

You should know that Zhang Yu is not even a Jinshi now, so this is putting him on the fire and roasting him.

But Zhang Yu also understood that this was His Majesty's beating him.

It seems that his majesty jumped up and down, which made His Majesty think he was too smart. But there was nothing he could do about it. If he didn't jump up and down, this would not be possible.

If he can get so many benefits before, he deserves this sin.

Seeing Feng Congwu and his master-apprentice harmonious appearance, Zhu Youxiao seemed very satisfied and smiled very well. He said, "Actually, I am very interested in what you two said."

"Let's do this, you will enter the palace every three days from now on." Zhu Youxiao looked at Feng Congwu and said.

He said to Zhang Yu again: "You can enter the palace with Feng Aiqing and serve you on the side."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Student understand." Zhang Yu nodded quickly and said.

It's over, this is another time to put him on the fire and roast him. His Majesty is really ready to let him live a good life.

Being loved by two big men and being able to see Your Majesty every day is simply a matter of life.

But this is not over yet. Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said, "It will be inconvenient for you, Shang Baoqing, to be the right-level official position. Let's do this, it will be much more convenient for you to enter the palace in this way."

"I thank Your Majesty." Feng Congwu hurriedly knelt down and said.

This official position is much better than the original Shang Baoqing. Although the Tongzhengsi has fallen to a great extent in recent years, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is not comparable to that of him, Shang Baoqing.

The Tongzheng Secretary was in charge of the emperor's orders, and he understood the situation, investigated the official documents of the customs of the people of all directions, reported to the subjects from all directions to the feudal comments, complaints, military situations, disasters and other matters.

In the establishment of an official position, one official and the third rank (in charge of accepting internal and external seal scripts and commenting on matters of complaints)

One person on the left and right are from the government, and the fourth rank (accepting internal and external seals of the internal and external seals and complaints in the seal).

In other words, at this moment, Feng Congwu was promoted from Shang Baoqing, a fifth-rank official, to the fourth-rank official, Tongzhengsi.

Whether in terms of grade or power, this is a very high-quality leap, something that ordinary people dare not think of.

But Feng Congwu and Zhang Yu were a little hesitant because they knew very well that they did not do this for the sake of official positions, nor for the right position of Tongzheng Department of Tongzheng.

This official position is not that valuable. Although it is much stronger than Shang Baoqing, it is not even comparable. However, due to the continuous growth of the cabinet over the years, the Tongzhengsi Department is almost dead in name only. Under such circumstances, this position is really not that important.

If there are no more requirements, it is naturally the best position, after all, you can get in touch with Your Majesty very happily.

But what they were seeking was the sacrificial wine from the Royal Academy, and the things in it were different.

The priest level of the Royal Academy may not be very high, but the substantial power it holds is very, very large. And at such a critical moment, whoever can hold the Royal Academy will have enough voice.

They have been planning for so long, isn’t it for the Royal Academy?
