The next thing is much simpler.
Zhu Youxiao appointed Zhang Yan as the queen.
The remaining two people, one surnamed Tian and the other surnamed Yuan, were both given the title of imperial concubine.
This time it's done.
The only thing left to do was the emperor's wedding, and Zhu Youxiao didn't have to worry about such matters.
After leaving the Cining Palace, Zhu Youxiao returned to the Qianqing Palace.
Glancing at Chen Hong standing beside him and then checking the time, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Has Chen Kedao arrived?"
For Zhu Youxiao, matters concerning the wedding were not very important.
Having lived two lives, he no longer takes love between men and women so seriously.
Although his body still had needs, he was able to control himself mentally.
What he has to do now is to overthrow some people and promote some others.
"Your Majesty, the people have arrived." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Chen Hong knew that Chen Kedao was very popular.
These days, Chen Kedao comes to the palace every day to give lectures to the emperor, and the emperor is willing to listen to him.
This was what Chen Hong wanted to see. This Chen Kedao was brought in by the Jinyiwei for His Majesty, and he now had a close relationship with the Jinyiwei. The more the emperor valued this person, the greater the Jinyiwei's merits would naturally be, and the more stable their position would be, which would allow them to fight against Wei Zhongxian.
As a eunuch serving the emperor, who doesn't have ambitions for power?
No one wants to be inferior to others.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's powerful rise, how could Chen Hong not be envious? Not jealous?
It’s just that the emperor has been suppressing him. Now that he has such an opportunity, Chen Hong naturally will not let it go.
He had praised Chen Kedao several times in front of the emperor these days, and the emperor accepted it with a smile.
Chen Hong knew that this was not a matter of praising Chen Kedao, but rather a matter of whether the emperor was willing to allow him to get closer to the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
If the emperor didn't want to, he would definitely scold me. Now that I was suffering like this, it naturally meant that the emperor supported me.
This is something that cannot be expressed in words.
So when he heard the emperor asking Chen Kedao, Chen Hong answered quickly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then let him in."
Not long after, Chen Kedao walked in from outside.
Unlike when he first came, Chen Kedao was now wearing a Confucian robe, which made him look a little more refined. He was still ugly, but he no longer had that look of a monkey in human form.
"Sir, you're here." Zhu Youxiao said to Chen Kedao with a smile, "Sir, please don't be polite!"
When Chen Kedao stood up straight, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, "Chen Hong, please give the gentleman a seat."
This is not the first time.
Zhu Youxiao always treated Chen Kedao with courtesy, which was also a way to show his favor to Chen Kedao to the outside world.
After Chen Kedao sat down, Zhu Youxiao said, "Sir, let's begin!"
Chen Kedao has been teaching Zhu Youxiao these days, and this kind of scene has happened more than once.
He was naturally very familiar with the situation and did not hesitate to sit down and began to give Zhu Youxiao a lecture.
Time flies.
An hour passed before Chen Kedao closed the book.
It would have been basically the same here, as it was every day, but today was different.
Today Zhu Youxiao asked Chen Kedao to stay and brought him tea. It was obvious that they had something to talk about.
After realizing this, Chen Kedao did not speak again, but drank his tea quietly.
Zhu Youxiao put down his teacup and said, "Mr. Li Zhi's knowledge is profound, and Mr. Li Zhi's thoughts are even more profound. Every day when I think about them, I feel enlightened. I believe that Mr. Li Zhi can establish his own school of thought."
Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Kedao became very excited.
Although he had been going to the palace to give lectures to His Majesty, Chen Kedao still felt unsure.
Because he didn't know what His Majesty was going to do. Would he be dragged out and beheaded in a few days?
No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.
Now after hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Kedao became excited.
Your Majesty's words are definitely not just talk. Is there any practical action required?
Thinking about what he might have to go through, Chen Kedao's breathing became heavier.
If Li Zhi wanted to establish his own school, then as his disciple and also favored by His Majesty, what would my status be?
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Kedao and smiled slightly.
He knew that this was something Chen Kedao could not refuse.
As the saying goes, "A wild goose leaves its voice behind, and a man leaves his name behind." Who among these scholars doesn't want to be remembered forever?
Even if we don’t care about fame, who doesn’t want to have students all over the world?
Who doesn’t want their academic knowledge to spread all over the world?
What's more, there are huge interests involved here.
Chen Kedao could not accomplish anything alone, as his power was too limited. However, the entire School of Mind was different.
Although the School of Mind is now severely suppressed by the School of Principle, its foundation and strength are still there.
As long as you promote Chen Kedao, someone will naturally come forward.
Maybe those people have different opinions from Chen Kedao, but what does it matter?
Those who change their ways and are willing to listen to me will naturally be promoted and reused.
"I have an idea." Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Chen Kedao and said slowly, "Sir, your teachings should spread throughout the world. How can they be confined to one place? Why don't you build an academy in the capital? There, you can expound on your teachings and promote your school of thought. What do you think?"
When Chen Kedao heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
Do you want to build a college?
How did your teacher die?
I still can't forget it.
At the beginning, let alone establishing a college, the teachers were just traveling around giving lectures, and were eventually framed and imprisoned.
Unable to bear the humiliation, the teacher committed suicide by slitting his throat in prison.
Now that things have come to this, if I were to establish a college, how would those people deal with me?
Zhu Youxiao said this but did not continue. He needed to wait for Chen Kedao's reply.
The reason for supporting Chen Kedao was, on the one hand, to support his own power, and on the other hand, to exclude dissidents. At the same time, it was also to introduce his own private opinions into the ideological world.
If Chen Kedao doesn't dare, then he won't choose this person.
What I want is someone who can go on the field and bite.
If Chen Kedao is timid and cowardly and has a natural tendency to compromise, I naturally will not support him.
I would never tell him, "Go ahead and do it. I'll protect you if anything happens." You absolutely cannot say such words.
Chen Kedao's expression kept changing.
He originally thought that His Majesty would appoint him an official position so that he could make a difference in his career.
Now it seems that it is far from what I thought.
What will you face once you open your own academy to teach?
Chen Kedao knew it all too well.
As for all the money needed to open the academy, His Majesty should have prepared it for himself.
Obviously, since he was brought to the capital, he had no way out.
