No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 335 Rebuild the Academy!

"No... no Linglong Courtyard?!" Zhao Sisi, who was the least courageous, trembled a little, not caring about the unfinished manuscript in his hand, staring at Luo Jun with a pair of exquisite eyes.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Is there any problem?"

Shen Hongxiu and Song Jue also took a deep breath, of course there is a problem, the problem is serious!
"You want to cancel Linglong Academy? You didn't say it before." Song Yu said.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Because I just found out that I was going to become the head of Anlan Academy. This is a plan I just came up with, and I haven't had time to tell people about it." She originally only planned to be the nominal head of the Martial Arts Academy. .Since it is a name, it is natural not to participate too much in the affairs of the academy.

Shen Hongxiu said: "Ninety percent of Shangyong's noble daughters came from Linglong Courtyard. Back then, Empress Dowager Zhu supported Linglong Courtyard when she was still a princess. Now when the Queen Mother dies, you will..."

The relationship between Empress Dowager Zhu and the princess regent is not very good, and all the dignitaries in Shangyong know it.It's just that before these two had any big conflicts, Empress Dowager Zhu died.Now that the Princess Regent cancels the Linglong Courtyard, in the eyes of outsiders, isn't it just a confrontation with the Empress Dowager Zhu?Now there are still words mentioned by Queen Mother Zhu standing at the gate of Anlan Academy.

Luo Junyao didn't take it seriously, and said calmly: "It's not important. Linglong Academy was just one of the branches of Anlan Academy in the previous dynasty. The name was changed later. I just want her to return to her original position. That's it, what's the problem?"

Song Jue was moved in his heart and said, "Are you planning to change the name of Linglong Courtyard?" Thinking of this, Song Jue was still a little relieved. If Linglong Courtyard was not canceled directly, the impact would naturally be much smaller.

When Anlan Academy was first built, there was no Linglong Academy, and there was no accurate division of Anlan Academy in the early days. Later, the various systems of Anlan Academy were fully established, namely-Budao Academy, Jinglun Academy, Hongwen Academy, Tianji Academy, and Agricultural Academy , and even business schools and medical schools.The students recruited were not limited to the dignitaries of Shangyong. At that time, there were also many civilian women near Shangyong who wanted to study, and women from all over Dongling who traveled thousands of miles to study.

Although most of these women who can come to study at home are not in bad condition, there is nothing they can do about it.The really poor people can't even afford to eat, how can they have the time and energy to study?The civilians near Shangyong are fine, and if they want to study in other places, the travel expenses alone are a lot of expenses, which is definitely not affordable for poor people.

Even so, that era was better than today's women.Women who graduated from Anlan Academy have become officials, generals, businesswomen, and doctors. With their hard work, ordinary women's lives will naturally be much more comfortable than before.Among them, there have been many outstanding women who have not entered Anlan Academy, but still have achieved a lot.

It's a pity that the later the Tangling period, the more serious the suppression of women.

The openness of a dynasty is often directly linked to its prosperity.Gradually, the Institute of Economics, which taught law and the way of governing the world, the Institute of Tianji, which studied the mathematics of institutions, and the College of Agriculture, which taught agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy, were first suppressed and merged and then closed, and then the medical school which taught women's medicine and the business school which taught trade. They were also closed one by one.

And the Martial Arts Academy no longer teaches things like the art of war, and has become a place that simply teaches the daughters of military commanders to practice martial arts, and even this is getting more and more watery.

The Hongwen Academy gradually became the current Linglong Academy, and most of the students didn't even know that Linglong Academy was originally called Hongwen Academy, but they only thought that this place was naturally called Linglong Academy, and it was used to teach them these things .

It seems that Linglong Academy still teaches piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, and all the girls here seem to be outstanding ladies from famous families with extraordinary talents.

However, these talented women of Linglong Academy have not written a poem that can be praised by the world, nor painted a picture that can make people admire, let alone left any books and works.

It is an academy that teaches knowledge, but the current Linglong Academy is a pre-marriage talent and moral training class. Who can expect to emerge from the training crash course as a real master?
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "That's right, I'm not only planning to change Linglong College, but also to add more colleges."

Song Ju lowered his eyes and pondered for a while and said, "Those dignitaries may not buy it."

Luo Junyao sneered with a little disdain, and said, "Who cares if they buy it or not? Anlan Academy is not just for them."

Song Ju and Shen Hongxiu looked at each other, and said, "Are you planning to re-enroll civilian girls?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said nothing, Zhao Sisi was a little worried and said: "Will those people not make trouble?" Now those rich and powerful daughters don't think much of ordinary women, and they might feel that sitting with them is a humiliation to themselves.

Luo Junyao didn't care, "Then they can go home by themselves. Anyway, those three obediences, four virtues, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not impossible to learn at home."

"Be careful of the money they get from the Academy." Although those old scholars in the imperial court looked down on Anlan Academy, Anlan Academy has indeed always been allocated funds from the imperial court.

This also caused the court's attitude to have a great influence on Anlan Academy.If the Empress Dowager Zhu or some senior officials of the imperial court revealed some dislike for Anlan Academy, the life of Anlan Academy would be difficult.

Fortunately, the students are all rich and powerful daughters and ladies from various families, so it is still necessary to give some face, and with the support of the Empress Dowager, they were not completely cancelled.

Many people knew that once the Empress Dowager passed away, the first thing Empress Dowager Zhu would do was to close Anlan Academy.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, who knew that Queen Mother Zhu would die before the Empress Dowager Tai.

Luo Junyao sighed and said, "So, it's not enough to rely on those officials alone. If we want to develop Anlan Academy, we still have to rely on ourselves."

Shen Hongxiu was very interested in Luo Junyao's ambition, "Yaoyao, what do you want to do, our Martial Arts Academy will support you!"

Zhao Sisi also nodded and said: "Hongxiu is right! I will support you too. If you need our help, just say it."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Don't worry, let's take our time. Now... we must keep it a secret, and we will talk about it when I become the head of the Anlan Academy." If it leaks out, what if she can't become the head of the mountain?
"No problem." The three girls looked at each other and smiled. Although they were a little worried, they had to say that they were also looking forward to the future changes in Anlan Academy.

These latecomers can only see the former glory of Anlan Academy from the books, but now... maybe they have a chance to regain the former glory?

This is not just an issue of the academy, but more representative of their ability to fight for more power and freedom as women.

"Since Yao Yao is going to attend the Flower Fair, let's all go." Song Juan thought for a while.

Luo Jun said: "That's not necessary. I guess the flowers will be very pleasant. If you want to go, go, if you don't want to go, don't go."

The three said in unison: "We want to go!"

When Xie Yan returned to the mansion, the snow had stopped, but it had been falling for two consecutive days, and the thick snow covered the entire Shangyongdu in white.

Die Ying and Leng Shuang followed behind Xie Yan, announcing business to him as they walked.

The three of them entered Jingyuan, Xie Yan just stopped, turned back to Leng Shuang and said, "This king knows, go and tell Wei Changting, this king limits him to check the deposits of the household department and the major departments of Shangyong within five days." Grain storage in the granary."

Leng Shuang responded with a respectful voice, turned around and left neatly.

Xie Yan continued to ask Die Ying, "Is the Sansi Yamen ready?"

"My lord, don't worry, everything is ready. It's just..." Die Ying hesitated for a moment, and said: "The clan mansion asks, how will King Mu and Princess Mu deal with it? Will the result be shown to the public? Today, the clan mansion's order came to see King Mu. , was blocked by King Mu An. Zong Ling ordered his subordinates to ask the prince, how will His Royal Highness Mu Wang explain the situation to the clan and the ruling and opposition parties?"

Xie Yan said: "Tell him, King Mu and Princess Wang have been imprisoned in the Jinshui Courtyard, and they will not be released for life without pardon."

"Yes, my lord." Duoying respectfully responded.But he secretly thought in his heart, trial first and trial later, this is obviously not in line with the case handling procedures of the Sansi Yamen and the Clan Mansion, but these are small details, presumably the clan and all the civil and military officials would not care about this, right?
Xie Yan didn't say anything more, and walked towards the yard with strides.

The servants of the Jing Garden are very hardworking. Although the snow has just stopped, the bluestone path in the garden has been cleaned up.

Xie Yan walked along the path, and heard the laughter of women and children coming from ahead.

Walking over, from a distance, I saw a pretty woman in a light blue shirt and a short fur cape leading a group of children to play snowball fights.The child, who used to behave well in front of the Prince Regent, was obviously having a good time at this time, and did not notice the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent at all.

They gathered the snowflakes on the ground, and then took the opportunity to throw them at others. Some laughed and avoided, some clamored to fight back, all of them had bright smiles on their faces, even those who have been a little depressed these days The unhappy Xie Cheng also became lively.

Luo Junyao's strength is not weak, and she has practiced light kung fu hard. Even Jiang Che, who also practiced martial arts since childhood, can't even touch a corner of her clothes among these children.The children called the concubine cheating, but they also knew that they couldn't win her, so they gradually stopped playing with her, and played with enthusiasm by themselves.

Luo Junyao was a little confused, was she pushed out by a group of brats?

Did they forget that she brought them out to play?
Being squeezed out, Luo Junyao looked at the brats mingled together with some depression, and suddenly heard a low laugh from beside him.Looking back, he saw Xie Yan standing on the edge of the rockery not far away and looking at him with a smile.

Luo Junyao was overjoyed, looked at the children's footsteps lightly, and then swept across the snow.

Seeing Xie Yan was like a mouse seeing a cat when these little ghosts saw Xie Yan, so it was better not to scare them.

"Are you back?" Luo Junyao settled in front of Xie Yan, and pulled Xie Yan to the other side of the rockery.

Xie Yan raised his hand to wipe off the snow foam on her head and shoulders, and said with a smile, "Why do you want to play in the snow?"

"Is it the first snow this year? I see a few children who are tired of squatting in the room and reading every day. It's good for your health to come out and move around."

"Be careful of catching a cold." Xie Yan said.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Turn around, let someone prepare soup to drive away the cold. You didn't come home last night, what happened?"

Xie Yan said calmly: "It's nothing, I would like to say that King Ning recruited something and went to arrest a few people."

Hearing this, Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "Prince Ning? Didn't he just hold on and refuse to speak?"

Xie Yan said: "After entering the prison, there is no one who will not keep his mouth open, it just depends on how long he can last."

King Ning's special status really does not allow him to be severely punished, but in this world, torture is not the only way to pry people's mouths open.Especially for people like King Ning, when he knew that his original status could not protect him, he would naturally give in.

King Ning may not be afraid of death, but it is impossible for everyone in Prince Ning's mansion to not be afraid of death.

"So, the case of King Ning is about to be settled?" Luo Jun shook his head.

Xie Yan said: "It's almost there. It was originally a matter of conclusive evidence. No matter whether he recruits or not, he can't get rid of a crime of treason. Jinyan has been busy there, but I just want to see if there is any other involvement that we don't know about. That’s all.”

There must be some small fish and shrimp that slipped through the net, but these are irrelevant to the overall situation.

The matter of King Ning is not that complicated, Xie Yan is more concerned about the remnants of Yisi Luan and Ruan Ting's affairs.Luan Yisi's influence in Shangyong has almost been eradicated, and Xue Ya has also been imprisoned in the prison.But apart from Xueya, they didn't capture Luan Yisi's higher-ranking executives.

The other Mr. Xueya is said to have been away from Luan Yisi for several years, and he doesn't know the specifics of their internal situation.

Xie Yan and Luo Jinyan speculated that either Xue Ya had completely usurped power, and he himself was the only leader of Luanyi Division.Or the real senior management of Luanyi Division has been transferred to another place, and the destination is probably southern Xinjiang.

Xie Yan tends to have both. Xueya has indeed usurped power, but some people have indeed moved to southern Xinjiang.

These are not things that can be solved in a short while, and the Marquis of Lingchuan will leave for the southern border soon, and Xie Yan is not in a hurry.

"That's good, my elder brother is too busy to go home recently." Luo Jun said, "I don't think he wants a wife anymore."

The Su family is holding their breath for Su Rui's marriage recently, but Luo Jinyan stays in the dungeon every day and doesn't care about anything.

A workaholic cannot marry a wife!
Xie Yan also knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Jin Yan has also returned home. He has really worked hard for him recently. He will have three days off later, so he must be able to take care of his own affairs."

Luo Jun's eyes lit up, and he decided to go back and give advice to his elder brother, "I'll go back tomorrow...ah, no, I have to go to the flower fair tomorrow."

"Flower show?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, who would dare to hold a flower show in Shangyong at this time?

Luo Junyao told about the Flower Fair, Xie Yan frowned slightly, "Want to go?" If Yaoyao didn't want to go, Yaoyao wouldn't mention it at all.

Luo Jun said: "Since people's posts have been delivered to your door, it is natural to go and have a look."

Xie Yan lowered his eyes, raised his hand to gather the collar of her cloak, and said softly: "Go if you want."
