The imperial meeting, which had gone astray, was discussed until dusk and ended.

Many people outside actually speculated about this meeting.

They were thinking that it was probably Duke Xingguo who was going to take action and to take action against the people who had caused trouble before, especially the students of the Imperial College.

The reason for this speculation is that yesterday, the magistrate of Beizhili arrested Yan Shenggong's nephew Kong Dazheng under the supervision of the Jinyiwei.

This incident has a great impact in the circle of scholars.

Generally speaking, no one will be full and will move people related to Yan Shenggong.

The yamen runners in the prefect's yamen went to arrest people with great fanfare, and these yamen runners and other related people did not keep them confidential, so they naturally spread quickly.

For them, this is a signal that Duke Xingguo took action.

In the eyes of ordinary people, after Duke Xingguo heard about the matter in the capital, he did not even destroy the bandits. He said that the military power would be put down and then he ran to the capital. He must be very serious. If he took action with anger, he would definitely have to bleed for five steps or a thousand miles, and he would definitely have to bleed.

If Kong Daesh-shock moves, this is a sign.

Subsequently, senior officials of the Ming Dynasty and above the ministry discussed matters in Wenhua Hall, and it was still something that happened after Duke Xingguo entered the palace. This is a very obvious signal of action.

So, most people were waiting to see how powerful the counterattack of Duke Xingguo would be? A small number of people quickly sent people to Shandong to inform him.

However, what no one expected was that after the meeting in Wenhua Palace ended, the emperor only asked about the situation of interrogating Kong Dazheng and ordered that the law be enforced impartially, there was no other movement at all.

At that time, Duke Xingguo did not make any moves. It seemed that he was taking Princess Kunxing and actually traveling around.

A day later, news came out that Duke Xingguo was planning to build a college outside the capital city, on the Tongzhou River. He had sent someone to contact the cement factory near the capital and was looking for craftsmen, as if construction would start soon.

This time, many people were a little stunned.

They couldn't figure out that the Duke Xingguo was making a lot of thunder and raining, so he really just dealt with Kong Dazheng and then nothing happened. It seemed that a few of the students in the Imperial College were involved in Kong Dazheng's case, and they were not arrested because of the steam engines of others. Just forget it?

What made them even more difficult to understand was that judging by Duke Xingguo's attitude, they seemed to have not thought of going back to the southwest to lead troops to suppress the thieves. If they said that they would let go, they would give up their military power and change their careers to become teachers?

To be honest, they were a little confused about Zhang Mingwei's behavioral logic.

This is actually very normal. Zhang Mingwei is not on the same plane as them. His worldview and outlook on life are completely different. Using the ideas of this era to speculate on Zhang Mingwei's words and deeds, it would be strange if he could guess it!

A few days later, someone saw that the construction site by the Tongzhou River had indeed started construction. For a moment, many people went to watch.

Just like that, the topic of the capital gradually changed from Duke Xingguo to Duke Xingguo's revenge to Duke Xingguo's opening academies.

Almost everyone knows that the academy that Duke Xingguo wants to open is definitely not an ordinary academies, but a college that teaches new learning.

Therefore, some people who are interested in new learning, and more people who are interested in Xingguo Gong began to inquire about the specific situation of the academy, such as how to enter the academy, tuition geometry, etc.

Perhaps Duke Xingguo learned about the situation outside, and then published an explanation of the Ming Dynasty Academy in a special edition in the current issue of Ming Pao.

People outside guessed correctly. The academy mainly teaches new studies, and will set up subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and mathematics. Duke Xingguo himself was the dean of the academy. The first batch of students he recruited were teachers of various subjects of the academy. The students he wanted to recruit were divided into two batches, one was literate students, and the other was illiterate students, and no matter whether they were male or female, they could be admitted.

As long as you become a college student, the tuition fee will be exempted, and poor students will also have living allowances.

There will be two test questions in the next issue of Ming Pao. If someone can answer correctly, they can be admitted without the exam; otherwise, there will be a strict admission interview. Of course, this is limited to the first student who answers it.

As soon as these news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the capital.

The first reason is that women can also study at the Ming Dynasty Jingshi Academy! This was something that had never happened before! Otherwise, there would be no story about Zhu Yingtai dressing up as a man.

Many people feel that this matter is so concise! Especially the people in the capital are a little confused about this.

My daughter, can she show up like this, okay?

However, some people have explained that the students of the Ming Dynasty Jingshi Academy are not mixed, but will be separated. The main part of teaching female students is Princess Kunxing.

This answer has been accepted by many people. As long as the boy and girl are separated, it is not considered to be a public appearance. What is even more rare is that Princess Kunxing is actually responsible!

Speaking of which, Princess Kunxing is now very famous in the Ming Dynasty. Whether she is unmarried, she is with Duke Xingguo and is fighting together, she is considered a hero. Princess of the Ming Dynasty is the only one!

In addition, because of Princess Kunxing, many people think that her subordinates have newly established female soldiers, called health soldiers and art soldiers, which has never been seen before. Since there are special female soldiers, what's strange about having special female students?

The second reason for the sensation in the capital was that there were so many new contents, but I didn’t expect there would be so many subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, etc. But I don’t know any of the Four Books and Five Classics, poems, songs, etc.!

Many people are curious and don’t know what physics, chemistry, etc. are, and what are the special things?

If you are so curious, there will naturally be more topics.

The third reason for the sensation in the capital is that the academy is rich and powerful. Not only are students admitted without tuition fees, but even poor students also have living allowances.

Many people are moved by such a good thing.

This is the academy run by Xingguo Duke in the dynasty. If you can enter, you will be a student of Xingguo Duke in the future. You will benefit a lot in the future and have a bright future!

It doesn’t matter if your family is poor, because there is no tuition fee and there will even be subsidies.

Just like that, everyone began to wonder what kind of test questions will be given in the next Ming Pao? As long as you can answer them, you can get into school without the exam?

Many people are worried. There are so many people in the Ming Dynasty. Even if Duke Xingguo asked for the difficult questions, there would probably be some people? If someone answered them first, wouldn’t he lose an easy opportunity to enter school?

Of course, some people are worried that they don’t have enough IQ and cannot answer it; however, more people think they should be able to answer it, and they may be able to answer it!

So, many people in the capital began to inquire about these two questions. They even found out that the Ming Pao main office was that even the old mothers cleaning inside were going to inquire. If they found out, prepare early, wouldn’t they have a greater chance?

However, in the end they were all disappointed.

The news received by the Ming Pao General Office was consistent. The test questions were not even available. It is said that Duke Xingguo would give them before the publication was published.

Today, except for a few people, others do not have the energy to ask Duke Xingguo directly.

According to rumors, the emperor has asked quietly and was stunned after hearing the question. Of course, this is a matter in the palace, and it is a rumor, and no one knows the truth or falsehood!

I knew that the road to the problem was not working, so many people began to think of other ways again.

For example, the questions raised by Duke Xingguo must be in the new field of study, and they are sure of this.

Therefore, many rich people wanted to take the opportunity to make their children a student of Xingguo Duke. Those who embraced Xingguo Duke would collect some new books that had been circulated before, and then hired their masters to start researching and guessing questions.

Some people even found Huang Zongxi, Fang Yizhi and others and asked them for advice. What kind of test questions might be? Some even asked Huang Zongxi and others to teach them first, and maybe they would have learned the answer!

In short, the topic of the Ming Dynasty Academy is very lively in the capital.

Then, another phenomenon also appeared naturally.

At the gate of the Ming Pao main office, a few days before the next issue of Ming Pao was published, someone was queuing up here. He thought of getting the newspaper as soon as possible so that he could get the exam questions as soon as possible, so that he would not be able to regret it.

If you know the answer to the test questions and get taken first by others, you will definitely regret it.

Of course, those who can come here to queue up a few days in advance are definitely not the poor, nor the candidates themselves, but their servants. Or someone who sees business opportunities, comes to queue up and sells the location.

The emergence of this situation also caused the helplessness of the five cities' military personnel.

Because at night, there will be a curfew. These people are unwilling to leave, otherwise the position in front will be gone.

If it is normal, the five cities of the military commanders will definitely not be so long-winded, and they will just arrest people directly. However, this is related to Duke Xingguo, so they dare not do so, so they can only ask for instructions, and finally they will open the door.

Just like that, the day when Ming Pao published the test questions, finally came.

At this time, the long queue was said to be as long as several miles!

The Ming Pao was also printed.

The candidates are at the forefront, and when the time before the Ming Pao is about to be sold, the candidates themselves will take the trap. Some candidates are even more than themselves, and there are a lot of masters and other people around them. If the candidates themselves don’t know how to do it, there are still people who can ask.
Chapter completed!
