After the group arrived in Dadu, they were entertained by the Purple Khan Court. Princess Ma felt sorry for Zhu Rongna's experience, kept her by her side, and took her with her personally. Afterwards, Huang Zicheng returned to France to find Zhu Yunwen to revive him, while Qi Tai stayed in Dadu to rest.
The heroine Jeanne declined the reward from the princess and the Purple Horde Khan. She only wanted some weapons and dry food, and then left, saying that she would come see her again when she had time. She did what she said, and would appear in Dadu from time to time to visit little Jeanne.
However, she came in and out too casually. Princess Ma's house was being renovated, and the queen invited her family to live in the palace temporarily. As a result, the heroine Jeanne came uninvited and ran to the palace to visit the little girl.
This makes the timid people very shameless. Olafson reprimanded everyone several times, and even strengthened precautions and revised the patrol plan. However, the heroine Jeanne still sneaked in from time to time and then left in a swagger, which made him very worried.
Of course, this is not entirely his fault. The main reason is that the security of the Purple Khan Court has always been problematic.
In the early years, the Purple Horde Khanate did not have the concept of palace security, nor did it have a Qixue establishment. The Great Khan and the nobles were themselves military leaders, and various precautionary measures were formulated for reconnaissance and attacks on the battlefield.
For a long time, the "security" concept of the Purple Horde Khanate has been to concentrate its elite forces to intercept the enemy's elite beheading squads and eliminate them as soon as possible. Of course, the best situation is not to give the enemy a chance to behead them, but to take the initiative to attack and suppress them. Therefore, the style of the Khan's Guards is all offensive.
As for other occasions, they are less prepared. For this narrow, single-person infiltration type of assassin, palace security has long relied on the Great Khan and the assassin to kill each other.
By the time of the third Great Khan Alexios VII Mergan, an accident occurred. There were dissatisfied tribal leaders who were preparing to assassinate the Khan, but Alexios entertained guests that night and drank so much that he felt weak when he walked. Faced with the sudden outburst of assassins, he made a mistake. The guards reacted and killed the assassin, but failed to save him in the end.
This incident led to a series of chain reactions. In the end, the ruling Queen Mother Helena couldn't bear it anymore and made drastic changes to the palace guards, finally allowing them to function more normally.
But the Forbidden Army at this time was established by the Queen Mother, so it also obeyed her orders. Later, in the coup of John VIII Toto against the Queen Mother, the Imperial Guards sided with the Queen Mother, causing the coup to fail. As the Queen Mother later lost power, the Forbidden Army naturally lost trust and was disbanded.
After Basil III Yerigo overthrew the Queen Mother, he reorganized the Forbidden Army, which is now Qixue. At that time, the Purple Horde Khanate had established close contacts with Novgorod and was still involved in the situation in the North Sea. Therefore, he restored the tradition of Nordic mercenaries.
The sources of troops for the Nordic Guard were mainly Norwegians who hated Danish rule and wanted support from the Purple Horde, as well as some Scots and northern Rus's. In this way, the imperial army got rid of the influence of the Greek queen mothers.
As for the other parts of Qie Xue, they are mainly service personnel and honorary title holders, and they cannot be expected to actually play any role.
As for this coward, in terms of security, at least it is better than before - now at least the Khan and his guards are fighting against the assassins together. Therefore, the challenge posed by the heroine Jeanna gave Olafson, who had previously felt that he was sufficiently prepared, a headache.
Fortunately, after little Jeanne's family moved away, the heroine Jeanne no longer came, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When little Jeanne is a little older, it's time for her to receive an education. In most places, there is no shortage of enlightenment teachers, but those knowledgeable people basically have important things to do and their time is limited, so there are really not many teachers who are proficient in classics and meanings.
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng are also very busy and cannot tutor her all the time. But their vision is very high, and Mr. Ordinary still looks down on them, so they are in trouble for a while.
Before, little Jeanne and several other little girls received enlightenment education from their adoptive mother, Mrs. Huang. But Mrs. Huang insisted that she could not teach more advanced content by herself. If she wanted to learn well, she had to go to school and study hard. But everyone had doubts about this. Qitai and Princess Ma couldn't make a decision, so they asked Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen has encountered a series of setbacks at this time, and he can take it for granted. He replied that now that he was in a foreign land and things were urgent, he didn't need to pay so much attention.
There are no special conditions here, and the local nobles are not trustworthy, so now he can only put down his dignity and start by winning the support of various common people, traffickers and lackeys, trying to revive the great cause. Under such conditions, how can you force your children?
Zhu Yunwen said with emotion that after traveling for these years, he realized that many things were different from what he thought before, and he had to learn from scratch. "The Analects of Confucius" says, "I am a young man who is humble, so I can do many despicable things. How many gentlemen are there? Not many." It can be seen that Confucius also learned a lot of messy skills when he was poor, but this did not hinder his greatness. On the contrary, a gentleman can learn too many of these skills, and they will always be beneficial.
Therefore, he asked Zhu Rongna to go to school, and not only study classics, but also learn everything that is useful, so as not to be like him now, when it comes time to use it, he will feel that he knows too little and is not capable enough, so he can only worry.
Qitai and others were shocked when they received this letter.
Zhu Yunwen completely reversed the meaning of this sentence. According to Zhu Zi's explanation, this sentence means that Confucius was good at many skills, not because he was a saint, but because he was poor and forced by circumstances when he was a child. These messy skills are not for leaders, and there is no need for a gentleman to pursue versatility. This is the opposite of what he said about learning more.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen's daily use of metaphors makes no sense, and everyone has become numb. Moreover, this is not unreasonable. Overall, in the current environment, we really have to learn more messy knowledge.
Everyone who stayed in Dadu followed the instructions and sent Zhu Rongna to the school. She was asked to wear a robe and trousers like a male student and go to the Huang family's school together.
There are no generals in Zhu Yunwen's team, but his martial arts and military skills cannot be left behind. Zhu Yunwen specially ordered that both his son and daughter should learn martial arts. Apart from anything else, I must be able to beat Li Jinglong in the future and vent my anger on my father.
Therefore, everyone invited Li Xuanying's father, Li Huawen, to teach her how to use a knife and a sword on horseback. Little Jeanne's talent in this area is surprisingly good, and she is quite outstanding compared with all her brothers. Li Huawen was amazed by this and began to focus on training her. Of course, for Li Xuanying, there is another "other person's child", and the current pressure is even greater.
Zhu Yunwen also believes that living in Europe requires other abilities. For example, he observed that the church has a strong presence here. It is said that the level of scriptures in the Holy See of Rome is the highest in the Western world, but Constantinople in the East is only higher than Rome. This thing is the Four Books and Five Classics of Europe. It is impossible not to learn it. Since we are in the King's Castle, and those who are near the water and towers get the moon first, we should find the archbishop there and learn from them.
Coincidentally, the Grand Lama, the Patriarch of the Junbao Church, was also very familiar with them. Although they had reservations about this, everyone still followed Zhu Yunwen's instructions and let little Jeanna study theology with Dalai Lama Wang.
Lama Wang also quickly recognized the talent of little Jeanna, saying that this girl learned everything quickly. It didn't take long for her to learn theological skills such as flying talismans in the air and making smoke from scratch. If she were not a princess, she would have wanted to train her more and make an exception for her to serve as a priest in the future and become the first female patriarch in the history of the church.
Guo Kang also had contacts with little Jeannado. As far as he knew, these words were probably not polite and flattering. In these aspects, little Jeanne was more conspicuous than her brother.
