Inside the palace.
Zhu Youxiao was accompanying Empress Zhang.
As time went by, Empress Zhang's belly grew bigger and bigger, and the day of delivery was not far away.
Zhu Youxiao would come over whenever he was free, firstly to check on Empress Zhang's health, and secondly to comfort her.
At this time, Empress Zhang was probably feeling uneasy and worried. After all, the palace was not the outside world. Although she had been shaping Empress Zhang's authority, there were many things that could not be guaranteed.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing happening here. Everything is very peaceful. There are many things going on outside. Your Majesty does not need to focus all his attention on me." Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Youxiao and said with a smile on her face.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Empress Zhang's slightly chubby face and said with a smile, "I want to accompany Baozhu to welcome our first child."
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's gentle words and looking at his gentle face, Empress Zhang nodded gently, leaned into Zhu Youxiao's arms and said, "It is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes to meet Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao said nothing, but gently patted Empress Zhang's back. The atmosphere between the two was quiet and peaceful.
At this moment, Chen Hong walked in from outside.
After Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, Chen Hong lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Hong was actually telling Zhu Youxiao that something was going on outside. "Your Majesty, do you want to intervene or not? If you don't want to intervene, I'll go and send them away. If Your Majesty does want to intervene, then Your Majesty, you have to ask about it."
Although Empress Zhang was leaning in Zhu Youxiao's arms, she could feel that Zhu Youxiao was looking sideways in another direction.
So Empress Zhang sat up straight, turned her head and saw Chen Hong.
She smiled and said, "Something has happened. Your Majesty, please go quickly. If I delay the important affairs of the court, I will be guilty of a great sin."
"Don't say that. How could anything be more important than yours, Baozhu?" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, "This concerns the future of the Ming Dynasty."
Empress Zhang chuckled, gently nudged Zhu Youxiao, and gently touched her belly, saying, "The future of the Ming Dynasty will take some time to develop. Your Majesty should focus on the present."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao also laughed. He said, "Then I will go and come back later."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Empress Zhang nodded and said, "I will ask them to prepare dinner."
Zhu Youxiao nodded, turned and walked towards Chen Hong.
Walking up to Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Cui Chengxiu requests an audience." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
When Zhu Youxiao heard that Cui Chengxiu was coming, he probably understood that it was about the reform of the Royal Academy.
So he nodded and said, "Then go out and take a look."
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao walked out first.
When I got to the front, Cui Chengxiu was already waiting there.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Cui Chengxiu did not dare to neglect him. He knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Stand up."
When Cui Chengxiu stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued to ask, "What happened? Is it that the reform of the Royal Academy is not going well?"
"Your Majesty, there are indeed some issues," Cui Chengxiu said quickly. "Shoushan Academy has basically agreed to the reforms, but they have some concerns about what the academy will teach students in the future."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned.
What will the academy teach students in the future?
Zhu Youxiao also considered this issue.
In this matter, Zhu Youxiao did not want anyone to hinder him, nor did he want anyone to teach some messed-up things. Now the academies in various parts of the Ming Dynasty are basically founded by individuals, and what they teach is what they want to teach, not what the country wants to teach.
If the state cannot influence or even control the education system, it is easy for it to go astray. This kind of thing is also common in later generations. The brainwashing of public intellectuals has always been a major problem.
What's more, these people are not only public intellectuals, but also influential scholars with status, and are even very influential in official circles.
This problem is very serious.
When these people made demands on this matter, Zhu Youxiao was immediately disgusted.
