Yes, being a lonely person has always been very hard. This is a road of no return. Once you step on it, there will be no turning back.
Zhu Youxiao's seemingly relaxed and ordinary words seemed to be sending a message to Zhang Yan. The Ming Dynasty had been fighting for a long time, and he did not want Lin Ping'an to get caught up in it.
"But he is just an inexperienced child!"
Zhang Yan murmured in her heart: "How could he know the dangers of this man's heart, let alone fight with those old foxes in the court."
She stood up and walked outside Kunning Palace. At this moment, her heart was a little confused and she wanted to take a walk, even if it was aimless.
Gao Qiqian followed Zhang Yan silently and hesitated for a long time before asking:
"The opening ceremony of Zhulin Academy will be held in ten days. Do you want to go and see it?"
When Zhu Youxiao was talking to Zhang Yan just now, he was standing in the corner of the hall, so he could naturally hear those words clearly. A eunuch of his rank could also naturally hear what Zhu Youxiao said. There was an implication behind the words, so of course he could understand Zhang Yan's mood at the moment.
Before that, he had been thinking about a question, which was why the Queen was so kind to Lin Ping'an. What was the reason?
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of it, so in the end he simply didn't think about it. Since the Queen wanted to do this, he naturally had to do it in accordance with the Queen's wishes.
Hearing Gao Qiqian's words, Zhang Yan did not stop, but mused as she walked:
"I am the Queen, so it is not convenient for me to come forward, but you can go and have a look when the time comes."
Gao Qiqian nodded. In fact, he thought so too.
Zhulin Academy is just a private institution. Zhang Yangui is the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. It would indeed be a bit excessive to participate in it in person.
And since Lin Ping'an calls him Uncle Gao, then he can participate as an elder. This makes perfect sense at this point, and it also vaguely represents the queen's concern. It is indeed a good idea.
Zhang Yan stopped, looked at the tall trees in the palace, and asked lightly:
"Who do you think will attend the opening ceremony?"
Gao Qiqian thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"I think there will be no shortage of people. Your Majesty has already said that all the ministers in the court have agreed to give the academy a title. I think they will send people to congratulate them. Maybe this time the opening ceremony will become the center of the capital. It’s a grand event that the people talk about.”
Gao Qiqian was obviously a little happy, his face turned into a flower with a smile, but Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and thought to herself:
"It seems that His Majesty has long expected such a situation. Even if he is a fun-loving carpenter, the emperor's mentality is innate."
Thinking of this, she said with a hint of chill in her voice:
"Lin Ping'an was born in a poor family. He must have never seen such a battle. In addition, he is young and has difficulty distinguishing right from wrong. You should be careful."
Gao Qiqian hurriedly bowed and responded:
"Please rest assured, my dear, I will definitely take good care of him."

Wei Zhongxian rubbed his temples and felt his head hurt.
At the court meeting, the Donglin Party members went crazy and were so panicked that they did not oppose him. Not only did they not oppose him, but they also collectively seconded the proposal, which he found hard to accept.
"Nine thousand years old, Yang Lian and his gang obviously want to pick peaches by doing this. You, the old man, have asked for a status for Zhulin Academy. When the time comes, if they try to win over that academy, we will be at a loss!"
Tian Ergen shouted very dissatisfied.
He is a military commander, so he naturally knows that people like him have nothing to do with the academy. On the contrary, Yang Lian and others are all old scholars who are rich in knowledge. They are naturally opposed to the academy. Don't have the status of the academy by then. But it has become a tool in the hands of Yang Lian and others, which is really a waste of time!
"What a bunch of hateful scholars!"
Wei Zhongxian slapped the table and cursed angrily: "Sure enough, he has sinister intentions. The intestines in his belly are longer than the city wall of Beijing!"
Cui Chengxiu was a civil servant and felt that Tian Ergeng's words were a bit exaggerated, so he said unhurriedly:
"This matter is not that serious. Although Lin Pingan is not familiar with worldly affairs, the four great talents in the academy are all talented people. They roped in Lin Pingan as the dean, so they naturally have their own ideas, so why not Will you easily fall to the Donglin Party?"
Li Longkui also nodded repeatedly and added:
"As far as I know, those four people are from very wealthy families. If they didn't have their own intentions, they would definitely not have established an academy in the capital. Moreover, they persisted in doing so without any name for several years. If they wanted to fall to the Donglin Party, I should have reported to Donglin Academy a long time ago, why wait until today!"
Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that what the two people just said made sense, so he smiled and said:
"That's good! People have nothing to gain, and whoever can give more to the academy will naturally turn to them. On this point, our family is absolutely sure!"
Seeing him looking so high-spirited, a smile appeared on the faces of the other people, and the only trace of worry in their hearts disappeared.
Wei Zhongxian looked at several people and said solemnly:
"Are you all ready? The academy will hold its opening ceremony in a few days, so don't let our family get into trouble then!"
Cui Chengxiu and others nodded repeatedly, and Tian Ergen said with some pride:
"You, old man, just be optimistic when the time comes. Our appearance is absolutely unmatched, and we will never embarrass you, old man!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded and said confidently:
"That child once called me Duke Wei. For this reason, our family will make the opening ceremony a grand and unprecedented event!"

In distant Shengjing, the ice and snow have melted. After a year of dormancy, the tough grass has dyed the earth with a touch of light green. Those unknown flowers stretch their branches and leaves wantonly, waiting for the moment to bloom.
Yes, spring has arrived, the biting cold has passed, and the sun in the sky makes people feel warm and comfortable.
However, Dorgon still felt cold, the kind of cold that burst out from the bottom of his heart.
Dayu'er is getting married, but the person she's marrying is not him, but Huang Taiji!
When the news officially came out from the palace, he couldn't believe his ears.
So he rushed into the palace like crazy, but Nurhachi, who had always doted on him, was very cold this time.
"Da Yuer must marry Huang Taiji, this cannot be changed."
Huang Taiji's words were not only cold, but also unquestionable.
So he left the palace sadly, feeling a coldness that he had never experienced before.
It was the kind of cold that burst out from the bottom of my heart, penetrated into my bones, and could never melt away.
After a whole winter, Dorgon became much taller and more mature inside. He knew that this marriage was a transaction. Since it was a transaction, he would never care about his personal feelings.
"Da Yu'er, I really want to take you flying like an eagle on the grassland, but unfortunately my wings are too weak. One day, I will use my sharp claws to take you back from Huang Taiji's hands!"
Dorgon howled on the deserted hill and bent over in pain.
The scene of him and Da Yuer galloping on the grassland and dancing together beside the bonfire at sunset emerged in his mind. Da Yuer's graceful figure and the flowing eyes were like knives at this moment. Cut his heart apart deeply.
A few tears fell from the corners of Dorgon's eyes. He clenched his fists with endless hatred in his eyes and shouted again:
"Huang Taiji, one day, I will make you regret your choice today!"
Yes, Huang Taiji clearly knew that Dorgon liked Da Yu'er, but he accepted the marriage calmly and didn't care about Dorgon's feelings.
How could this prevent Dorgon's chest from exploding?
So a seed of hatred for his wife was buried in the heart of young Dorgon.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a horse rushed up the hill like flying. Duduo jumped off the horse, hugged Dorgon on the ground with both hands, and shouted:
"Brother, Azig and I will go to the Horqin tribe and snatch Dayu'er away. Then you will take her away!"
