Zhao Yunqi's sudden imperial decree successfully caught her attention.
So as soon as she returned to the Prince's Mansion after court, she went through the documents that Ying Yi had sent and found information about the Gentleman's Courtyard.
The recruitment criteria are the same as those in the imperial edict, except that last year there was no mandatory or large-scale assessment, and the emperor didn't seem to attach much importance to it.
It seems to be just a sudden whim that led to the opening of an imperial academy.
Although the academy occupies a large and luxurious area, there were only three cats and dogs inside last year, and not even all the teachers were available.
Gentleman's Courtyard?
Xiao Zhixing stared intently at those three words.
Does it refer to a person who values the virtues of a gentleman?
Or does it mean... the "Jun" in "Emperor" or the "Zi" in "Emperor's Son"?
These are two different concepts.
Others would definitely interpret it as the first meaning.
It wasn't that she was overthinking things; her intuition was very sharp, and she knew there was definitely something wrong with this Gentleman's Courtyard.
Xiao Zhixing didn't make things difficult for himself. He instructed Ying Yi and Yin Yi to pay close attention to the affairs of the Gentleman's Academy, especially the assessment content, hoping to find something out from it.
Putting that matter aside for now, she turned her attention to the negotiations with the Northern Barbarians.
“An Wuxi has been staying in the Court of Colonial Affairs, spending his days playing chess or drinking tea, showing no intention of initiating peace talks.”
After listening to Ying Er's report, Xiao Zhixing understood the Northern Barbarians' plans.
They intend to delay, or are waiting for a certain outcome.
Xining Pass has held out for now, so...
She turned her gaze southward, towards Jianan Pass, or Feiyun Pass over Nanfan?
The emperor and his men naturally noticed something amiss with An Wuxi's actions.
"Order Xue Chen to be on high alert and not to make any mistakes, or I will take his head."
Zhao Yunqi gave the order to the commander of Feiyun Pass.
"Order Feng Lizhen to guard Jianan Pass well and not to leave the pass again."
As for Xiao Kui, aside from his daily affairs being watched in the live stream, he would use secret signals and gestures for all major events, which would then be carried out silently by his bodyguards.
Xiao Zhixing wondered when the people in the live stream would realize that Xiao Kui was trying to defend against them.
You must have thought it was just a coincidence, right?
They certainly didn't expect to be a key bystander like herself. Why was she so eager to see how her people would react in the future?
Unfortunately, the live comments are gone now. I wonder if they can be restored?
