Chapter 1895
1895 The Royal Academy
Gu shouxin and the others set off at the end of August, and by October, they had already arrived in the capital.
After everyone settled down in the new house, Gu shouxin also went to report to the Ministry of Rites. The exchange of the Western Region diplomatic mission for the week also ended smoothly.
The Emperor asked the princes and princesses of the various countries to stay in the capital for a period of time. Everyone could go to the school to learn the culture of great Zhou, and they could also live in the capital to experience the local customs of great Zhou.
In the end, the princesses and princes of the various countries all stayed behind, and only the envoy brought the large team back.
The king of quicksand had also returned to his country, but Cheng huaijin stayed behind. All the princes of the western lands stayed behind, so the king of quicksand did not let him leave. He planned to let him return with the princes and princesses of the other countries and also left some people for him to use.
Yun GE ‘er followed the Gu family to the capital. Cheng huaijin didn’t stay in the Embassy, but at the Gu residence. The Gu family had left a courtyard for him.
This time, the Emperor rewarded the Gu family with the former qu King’s residence. It was a big house with five doors and even had Cheng huaijin’s small courtyard. They did not need to share the same small courtyard as Gu en and Gu Ren.
At the end of October, Gu shouxin was summoned to the palace by the Emperor.
second brother Gu, I have an idea and I would like to ask you. Do you think it’s feasible? ” It was rare for the Emperor to not say anything unnecessary and directly point out his purpose.
Gu shouxin didn’t beat around the bush and listened to him quietly.
He had probably guessed what the Emperor wanted to say, and he had also made preparations for this matter.
“Second brother Gu, when niannian was in the capital, she often came to the palace to visit Royal grandmother and Imperial mother. Once, niannian talked about the school. You should have heard niannian mention it to you, right?” The Emperor said.
“I’ve heard a little about it.” Gu shouxin nodded.
“After nearly a year of preparation, I’m almost done. It just so happens that the Prince of the West is also in the capital, so I want to try it out for a year. And as the assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, we wish to hand this matter over to you!” The Emperor said.
“Emperor, this Minister would like to ask, does the Emperor have any specific regulations for this matter?” Gu shouxin knew that they were not here to listen to his opinion, but to arrange work for him.
“Of course there is. The Royal Academy that I intend to establish, in addition to the things that ordinary students should learn, has many additional courses. According to niannian’s words, I’ve decided on a student’s schedule for the past few years. I’ve already finished building the Academy this year, but there are still some matters that have yet to be completed, so I’m just waiting for you to come and clean them up.” The Emperor said proudly.
Last year, on account of Gu’s work at the military equipment Center in the capital, she often went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager. Sometimes she would chat with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would also be there and he heard a lot. So, after the matter of the third Prince had been resolved last year, the Emperor had been thinking about this problem.
Not all of his sons could become emperors. What about those who didn’t? ‘They can’t all be idle princes like Majesty Kang, right? I have to let them learn something else. As long as it’s not the art of the Emperor, anything else is fine.’
That was why he had the idea of the Royal Academy.
Similarly, the Royal Academy did not only accept princes other than the Crown Prince. The children of the various officials and Noble families in the capital who did not take the imperial examination and did not inherit the title of nobility also had to study here for a full six years.
There were rigid requirements. He had to enter the school, finish his studies, and leave. Otherwise, he was not allowed to leave.
