Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 604: College Reform and Resettlement of Jiang Yongming’s Widow Fan

At this time, Zhu Gang's brows were furrowed, and his face was full of worry.

He sighed slightly and said, "Li Xian, my father's intentions are really hard to predict, we have to deal with them well.

If I act on my own without informing him, I will be accused of not knowing the rules.

Furthermore, if my father gets angry, he will definitely think that I am rash and not steady enough.

Alas, this college reform is a very complicated matter, it is really difficult to deal with it! "

Seeing Zhu Gang's worried expression, Li Xian quickly put on a smile and said soothingly, "Your Highness, please be at ease.

Reform is not an easy task that can be accomplished overnight, but as long as we plan carefully and proceed step by step, we will surely achieve success.

In my humble opinion, I would like to sort out the ideas for reform carefully and write a detailed memorial to Your Majesty.

The pros and cons of this are clearly explained.

Let's listen to your majesty's will and then make plans for the next step.

As for those teachers, I am willing to go with Your Highness and have a good talk with them.

Move it with emotion, understand it with reason.

I think they can understand your highness's good intentions for the academy and Ming Dynasty."

After hearing what Li Xian said, Zhu Gang's expression eased a little.

There was a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and he nodded slightly and said: "With your help, I feel more confident.

Then you should work harder and write your reform ideas into a memorial, and make sure to polish it carefully.

I have to let my father know that everything I have done is for the development of the academy and for the eternal foundation of Ming Dynasty."

Li Xian bowed confidently and said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this is my duty and I will not let you down.

I will write a clear and sincere memorial so that Your Majesty can understand it at a glance."

After saying this, he bowed slightly, then tiptoed out of the study.

After Li Xian left, Zhu Gang did not sit down to rest, but paced back and forth in the study, still thinking about many issues concerning the college reform.

His brows were furrowed, and his mind kept emerging with the many obstacles that might be encountered after the implementation of the reform: the stubborn conservatism of those teachers, the discussions of the ministers in the court, and the unpredictable attitude of his father.

Each item was like a mountain, weighing down Zhu Gang to the point where he felt a little breathless.

At this moment, Xie Yuer walked lightly into the study with an exquisite tray in her hand, like a gentle breeze in spring.

She was wearing a light pink silk dress with fluttering sleeves and delicate plum blossom patterns embroidered on the hems, which made her figure even more graceful.

Xie Yuer has a beautiful face, with a gentle and pleasant temperament between her eyebrows and eyes, and a hint of intelligence and cunning.

Those pair of autumn eyes, clear as water, look bright and seem to hide infinite tenderness.

There is always a faint smile on her lips, as warm as the spring breeze, which makes people feel happy when they see her.

"Husband."

Xie Yuer's voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, softly echoing in the quiet study.

She walked lightly to Zhu Gang's side and gently placed the tray on the table.

Then Xie Yuer stretched out her soft hand, gently took Zhu Gang's arm, and said softly: "My husband, you look so sad.

Don't work too hard, eat something to fill your stomach first.

Today, I asked the kitchen to carefully prepare some snacks according to the records in "Dream of Red Mansions". Please try them while they are hot.

There is the sweet and delicious yam cake with date paste filling. It is soft, sweet and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth, which makes people linger on it.

There is also the delicate and smooth sugar-steamed cheese, which melts in your mouth, has a mellow taste and is very nutritious.

There are also unique crab dumplings, which are fresh, fragrant and delicious. Although it is a chilly spring season, the crabs are produced in Yangcheng Lake in winter.

Strangely enough, crabs are available in Yangcheng Lake in all seasons.

Although these winter crabs are not as plump and tender as those in summer and autumn, they have a unique flavor.

It has a light sweetness, just like aged wine.

The more you taste it, the more charming it becomes, making you unable to stop.

My husband, please try it. If you like any of them, please let me know. I will ask them to do more in the future."

Zhu Gang was slightly stunned, with a hint of doubt on his face.

"Are the crabs from Yangcheng Lake so special?
However, the palace is now busy with many affairs, and the reform of the college is imminent.

How can you still have the energy to study these dim sum and crabs? "

Xie Yuer covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes sparkling with a lively light, like the bright stars in the night sky.

She slowly opened her mouth to explain, “Husband, you don’t know.

Jiang Yongming's widow, Fan, who was sent to the mansion by the Jinyiwei some time ago, was from a family right beside Yangcheng Lake.

These things about crabs were all mentioned by Mrs. Fan when I was chatting casually.

She also told many interesting stories about Yangcheng Lake.

According to Fan, the crabs in the lake hide in the mud at the bottom of the lake in winter, and only experienced local fishermen can find them.

At this point, Xie Yuer's smile froze instantly.

The expression on her face became a little gloomy, and a trace of deep sadness flashed in her eyes.

Xie Yuer just sighed softly and walked slowly to the window.

Her fingers unconsciously stroked the window frame, as if trying to draw a bit of strength from the cold wood texture.

“My husband, you don’t know that when Fan told me this, her eyes were filled with longing for her hometown.

She originally had a happy family, and her family lived in harmony.

But now Jiang Yongming has been murdered, and Fan and the children are left alone and helpless, which is really pitiful. "

Xie Yuer's voice trembled slightly, with uncontrollable pity.

"Every time I see Madam Fan, I can't help but think of those innocent children.

They are so young, yet they have to endure the pain of losing their father.

This also makes me think of the reform of the college. We want to change the status quo, isn't it to allow more people to live a stable life and let children have a better future?
But now Fan's mother and son can't even guarantee basic safety, I am really worried."

Zhu Gang was shocked. His thoughts, which were originally troubled by the reform, were closely linked to Fan's situation because of Xie Yuer's words.

He took a sip of tea quietly without saying anything, silently waiting for Xie Yuer to continue.

Sure enough, not long after, Xie Yuer slowly turned around.

There was a hint of determination in her eyes, but also a hint of worry.

Xie Yuer then said softly, "My husband, although our Ming Dynasty's palace has a certain amount of power, there are still many constraints in our actions.

This time we are going to Datong, Shanxi, and I am afraid it will be difficult to return to Yingtianfu in a short time.

The Inspectorate has always kept a close eye on the palace's every move. If Fan and her children were left alone in the palace's backyard, the Inspectorate would definitely make a big fuss about the palace's poor supervision.

Moreover, those assassins are ruthless and bold, and Fan and his widows will probably fall into the hands of the traitors in no time."

After hearing what Xie Yuer said, Zhu Gang couldn't help but frown, and a solemn look appeared on his face. (End of this chapter)
