Due to Zhu Youxiao's indulgence, the news in the court could not be hidden.

I heard that Your Majesty was going to build a house for everyone, and everyone was excited in the court for a while. These days, they have been discussing this matter. This made the atmosphere of the entire Mid-Autumn Festival warm and everyone was very happy.

However, there are also news about where to change the house. After all, the land in the capital is very tight. Since it is necessary to build a house, it must be a large-scale use of the land. It is not easy to do in the city.

Some people say that they want to build a house outside the capital.

As soon as this news came out, many people were furious. They built their houses outside the capital city, and they had to go to the yamen every day. How early do they have to afford it? How many roads do they have to go along the way? This is not possible.

Some people also say that if you want to build a house in the northwest corner of the palace, your Majesty will draw a piece of land.

But this is not true. It is the royal garden and His Majesty's thing. How can you cut a corner there?

Some people also said that they would take all the academies out of the city and then build houses on the original academies.

This statement has been approved by many people, after all, this is the only one that sounds more reliable.

In such public opinion, the capital city ushered in another big thing, that is, the Southern Sect of the Kong family entered the city, that is, the new Yansheng Gong came.

For a moment, the capital was shocked, and countless scholars began to run towards the city gate, preparing to welcome the new Yansheng Gong.

It is said that the new Yanshenggong was also the dean of the Royal Academy, which gave scholars all over the world a reassurance.

Although the Kong family has no practical rights, they have such prestige, and their symbolic meaning is too obvious.

Your Majesty’s willingness to use Yansheng Gong means that His Majesty’s political tendency is a certain political tendency. This is enough for scholars.

When Kong Shangqian came to the capital, he didn't expect so many people to greet him.

Looking at the black head, Kong Shangqian suddenly became excited.

You know, this time he came to Beijing City, he was a desperate bet, and all the land in his family was sold. They were all the industries accumulated by generations of his family and the assets he had accumulated for hundreds of years. All of them were gone. If you don’t sell them, you will have to sell them.

Along the way, Kong Shangqian was worried, how should he live after arriving in the capital? Relying on his salary, he would not starve to death?

Worried all the way, Kong Shangqian felt much more relieved when he saw so many scholars coming to greet him.

After his family arrived here, there were so many people coming to greet him. It seemed that he underestimated the things brought by the Duke of Yansheng. With these things, I think the family can survive well.

He walked very slowly along the way, and the people in Shuntian Prefecture just maintained order. Obviously, the court intended to promote Yan Shenggong to enter the capital.

Along the way, the capital was much more lively.

The Ministry of Rites also sent officials to greet them. The people of the Kong family needed to settle down, so they were already ready.

As for Kong Shangqian, he wanted to go to the palace to see His Majesty.

After entering the palace all the way, Kong Shangqian was thinking about it, and seemed cautious and cautious.

You know, their family is not the Confucius family in Shandong, and their family is very respectful of the royal family. After all, the current emperor has even cleaned up the Kong family in Shandong, let alone their family?

After walking in, Kong Shangqian looked straight and his attitude was correct.

Having seen Yan Shenggong come, a fat eunuch greeted him with a bright smile on his face, bowed to Kong Shanggan with a smile, and said with a smile: "Our Chen Hong, according to His Majesty's will, comes to welcome Yan Shenggong."

"Don't bother, father-in-law." Kong Shanggan said hurriedly.

Although he has no foundation in the capital, Yan Shenggong's identity is here, and Kong Shanggan is not an idiot. He sent people to the capital one step ahead of time before entering the capital.

On the one hand, these people come to fight for the front station, on the other hand, they come to build relationships, and at the same time they are also inquiries about news.

Many officials in the court, Kong Shanggan, already had information. For example, Chen Hong in front of him can be said to be the eunuch whom His Majesty is most beloved.

Si Li Jian Ping has been serving His Majesty closely. Such a person is not something Kong Shanggan, the newcomer Yan Shenggong, can afford to offend him.

So Kong Shanggan was very polite, and he reached out to take a jade pendant and put it into Chen Hong's hand, and said with a smile: "A thing I got on the road, Eunuch Chen will play with it."

This is not something you can get by casually, it is a good thing.

The Kong family has accumulated a fortune for hundreds of years, so naturally there are a lot of good things. There may not be that much money, but there are quite a lot of things in various ways.

The one I gave to Chen Hong is a great jade pendant. It is warm and has a soft touch. You can tell it is an old item that has been around for the past.

Chen Hong quickly returned the jade pendant to Kong Shanggan and said with a smile: "I dare not accept things from Yan Shenggong. If you work as a servant by Your Majesty, you need to know some measure. You can't collect things randomly."

This made Kong Shanggan stunned. Is this still a eunuch?

You know, the eunuchs in the palace are famous for asking for money. Don’t say that you send it to him, if you don’t send it to him, you will even blackmail you. Now he doesn’t want the things he has given it to him. Has the world changed?

Chen Hong would not explain this to Kong Shanggan, but just smiled and made a gesture of invitation and said, "Donald Yan Sheng should come quickly, Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace."

"Don't bother Eunuch Chen!" Kong Shanggan said hurriedly.

The two walked in one after another, and soon saw Zhu Youxiao in the hall.

After the ceremony, Kong Shanggan knelt quietly there, waiting for Zhu Youxiao to meet him.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Kong Shanggan saw this young Majesty, and his heart was filled with fear.

It’s really that His Majesty’s reputation is too great, and there are many rumors outside. Although there are many untrue, one thing is certain that His Majesty in front of him is very propositional and he is very straightforward in doing things.

This time I am here, I hope to leave a good impression on His Majesty.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head, glanced at Kong Shanggan, and a bright smile appeared on his face and said, "Donald Yan Sheng, please be exempt from courtesy."

After hearing this, Kong Shanggan quickly stood up.

After Kong Shanggan stood up, Zhu Youxiao looked around.

Speaking of which, just in terms of appearance, Kong Shanggan looks pretty good. His appearance is very consistent with people's yearning for scholars. He has a straight facial features, clear eyes, and a beard scattered on his chest, and his whole body exudes a sense of righteousness.

Nodding gently, Zhu Youxiao said, "I have always admired the Southern School of the Kong family. If it weren't for Hu's possession of the country, the title of Yan Shenggong should have belonged to your family. Now it's a clear source. If you get the title, do it well and don't let me down."

After hearing His Majesty's words, Kong Shanggan felt a little better and moved.

How many people can understand the grievances his family has suffered for so many years?

It is enough to get His Majesty's words.

From then on, when his family was the master of the country, no one could question it.

In this way, his family's good days are coming.

Kong Shanggan said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. From today on, I will do my best to do my best and will never let Your Majesty down."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "No need to say these. Come on, come in."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's call, Kong Shanggan hurriedly walked forward a few steps and came straight to Zhu Youxiao, but he still stopped a dozen steps away.

If you cannot move forward any more, you will violate your duties as a minister.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Kong Shang and said nothing.

"Did you see this map?" Zhu Youxiao pointed to the map in front of him and said to Kong Shanggan with a smile: "Here, I am preparing to build a new city. Next to this is a brand new Confucius Temple, and next to the Confucius Temple is Yansheng Gong Mansion."

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Kong Shanggan's face showed a shocked expression.

Because the piece of land that His Majesty painted was really not small.

The Confucius Temple was built in large scale, and it was understandable that Kong still can still understand this.

But the Yansheng Gong Mansion next to him is quite large from the scope of His Majesty’s paintings.

Your Majesty wants to build a big house for him?!

Kong Shanggan was immediately excited, but hesitated. His Majesty was so kind to him, probably this was not a good thing, right?

As the saying goes, if you don’t receive any reward, your Majesty is so kind to him, I’m afraid that what he does is not easy.

But this is the emperor's gift, you must not only accept it, but also accept it happily.

Zhu Youxiao did not go to see Kong Shanggan, but continued: "On the east side of the Confucius Temple, I will build a college, which will be the largest academy in the Ming Dynasty."

"In addition, this side is the Royal Children's Academy and the Martial Arts Academy next to it. As for the other side, a new academy will also be built."

"When the construction of this new city is completed, it will become the cultural and educational center of the Ming Dynasty. Yan Shenggong is in charge of the Tianxia Academy, and I don't need to say much about the heavy responsibility. I will understand it at that time."

"I leave this matter to my dear, and I hope I will not let my expectations down."

Kong Shanggan was already shocked by Zhu Youxiao's plan.

His Majesty is going to do such a big thing? How much manpower and material resources does it require? How much does it cost?

What a big deal!

Kong Shanggan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's the best. After your family entered Beijing, they have arranged a house for you. Although it is not big, it's enough. You can live there first. When the construction of Yansheng Gong Mansion is completed, it will not be too late for you to move in again."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Kong Shanggan quickly agreed.

"Okay, there is nothing to do here, you can step back. After you go back, settle down at home. If you have anything to ask, I will help you solve it one by one." Zhu Youxiao looked at Kong Shanggan, said with a gentle tone and a bright smile.

Zhu Youxiao still attaches great importance to Kong Shanggan, and this is a person he needs to reuse in the next period of time.

The reform of the academy is being implemented, and many problems have been exposed in various places, and even many impeachment books are also being published.

Among them, it is common to ask for bribes and embezzle land; there are many things like colluding with officials and businessmen and making profits secretly; some officials and scholars even secretly reached out to the Royal Academy, secretly forming cliques, and trying to maintain the previous academy system.

This kind of thing has always happened, and Zhu Youxiao has always received secret reports, but he didn't care.

The reason is very simple. Zhu Youxiao is waiting for this matter to be completed. After the academy reform is completed, it is time for him to take action. I will not mention the subsequent liquidation. How to adjust the direction still needs Kong Shanggan.

Now that Kong Shanggan has entered the capital, Zhu Youxiao’s next plan can be put on the agenda.
To be continued...
