The Empress Dowager seemed to be indifferent to the question, but after talking to Chen Yixing for a while, she still couldn't figure out Chen Yixing's thoughts, so she wanted to give it a try again.

At this time, Chen Yixing said: "King Zhao suggested that I go to the school."

"Academy?" The Empress Dowager frowned slightly. There were many Honglu and famous scholars in the academy, all of whom were pillars of Da Chen, but...

The Queen Mother knew very well that the academy was different from other places, and that the people there always abide by the so-called etiquette and law, and that the vast majority of people were loyal to the emperor.

The advice that King Zhao gave to King Jing has to be said to be another idea.

The queen mother squinted her eyes, but she still smiled: "So what do the emperor's wishes?"

Chen Yixing smiled and said, "This is what I wish."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "This is your wish, what can the Ai family say? The Thirteenth Court of the Academy, you are the prince's honor, I am afraid that you will not be able to tolerate you there. There is a Tianren Pavilion in this Academy, so you can study there."

Chen Yixing stood up and bowed, "Thank you."

The Academy has thirteen colleges, but for many people, the Tianren Pavilion is the real core of the Academy.

There are countless collections of books there, and even the books in the palace are less than half of the Tianren Pavilion. Not only that, those who can enter the Tianren Pavilion are extraordinary figures in the academy. Even the deans of each institute may not have such qualifications. These are all elder-level figures. If any person in the pavilion is willing to leave the Tianren Pavilion and make some comments, it will be enough to shock the Shilin.

Even if it is a child of the royal family, it is impossible to have such qualifications. This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao.

However, it is easier for Chen Yixing to enter the Tianren Pavilion. In addition to his noble status, the most important thing is that he is a wise king with profound knowledge and great talent.

The Empress Dowager seemed unwilling to force Chen Yixing, and Feng Xin moved, so she made this decision.

But at this moment, her face became sad: "Brother..."

"I'm here."

When the Empress Dowager saw Chen Yixing's restrained and polite appearance, she was even more touched: "I remember when the late emperor and you were still the prince, the Ai family was just a concubine at that time. When the Ai family saw you with deep brotherhood and talked about everything. At that time, you could have pulled the late emperor to talk endlessly for a night, but now, why are you so unfamiliar? Alas... I don't know if it was you who changed or the world has changed. You are much older than the late emperor, and you always tell the late emperor a lot of truths. The late emperor always said that if you were the emperor, you would definitely be a saint. After he ascended the throne, although he worked hard, it was not as good as you."

"This is etiquette and law." Chen Yixing said: "Although the minister is the eldest, he is not the legitimate son. Therefore, the former emperor is the king, and the minister is still the minister."

The Empress Dowager shook her head. She did not see the old love from Chen Yixing. Now Chen Yixing seems to be a virtuous king who always adheres to the way of his ministers. She has less of the human spirit.

He seems to be invincible, but he is also unfathomable and always so difficult to understand.

The Empress Dowager sighed deeply in her heart, and a feeling of inexplicable fatigue arose. She gently pressed her forehead to relieve the curl. Then she smiled at Chen Yixing and said with a faint smile: "Then, go, live in the capital well, this place... is your home after all."

Chen Yixing bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager: "I...retreat."

He turned around, even if he knew, perhaps saying a few words between relatives would comfort his sister-in-law, but he kept his face meticulous and turned away without any stop.

Watching Chen Yixing go away, the Empress Dowager just smiled, with bitterness in her smile, and her expression was extremely sad: "Now the people around Ai's family are no longer human, which is really a pity."

Zhang Jing hunched over and asked quickly: "Are you worried about His Highness Jing and King Zhao..."

"No." The Empress Dowager shook her head and said seriously: "He will not harm the Ai family. Although the Ai family knows that his blood is cold and his temperament is also cold, he will not mention the friendship with the late emperor again, but the Ai family knows that even if he does not become an enemy of King Zhao, he will never harm the Ai family."

Although she was so sure, a trace of sorrow inevitably rose on the Empress Dowager's face.

There are so many troubles in this world, as if it is endless, and it can always entangle you so hard that you can't breathe.

"Empress, Your Highness, I'm afraid I've almost gone to Beijing." Seeing this, Zhang Jing whispered.

Zhang Jing knew that every time the Empress Dowager was unhappy, if he mentioned His Highness the Prince, he would always make the Empress Dowager feel refreshed.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager, who was still worried just now, had her eyebrows slightly relaxed in an instant. There was a little more vividness in her eyes, and her face became much more pleasant. She said thoughtfully: "Is there any news?"

Zhang Jing said, "I didn't deliberately go to inquire, for fear of arousing suspicion. However, I thought that if His Highness entered the capital, he would definitely go to the school to click Mao."

"You, you are so cautious." The Empress Dowager smiled sweetly, as if angry, but Zhang Jing knew that the Empress Dowager had no intention of blame.

He hurriedly said, "Whenever you involve Your Highness, how dare I be careless?"

The Empress Dowager seemed to feel much more relaxed all of a sudden, and there was a little smile on her face that reached her eyes, and she said, "Oh, the Ai family really wants to see him, even if it's just far away, it's good to look at him. When she thinks that he might be so close to the Ai family, the Ai family feels that her heart is alive again, but this palace wall separates the Ai family from him. Although it's close, it's far away. When Ai family thinks of this, it hurts to feel heartbroken."

Zhang Jing comforted with a smile: "This is just a matter of time. I will find time to find out for the empress, but... I must be careful."

"You..." The Queen Mother turned her eyes and looked at Zhang Jing deeply, biting her red lips and said, "You have to look carefully, and take a closer look. Since you saw him in Jinling last time, he has lost weight. When he is growing, you have to take a look to see if he is doing well and whether anyone bullies him."

"Talk about this." Zhang Jing said with a smile: "I know that Zheng Wen had already returned to Beijing to report yesterday."

The Queen Mother's sentimental face suddenly passed through her solemn aura. She said coldly: "You can do this."

"Slave, follow the order."

Zhang Jing responded with a smile, but behind this smile, there was a little more ruthlessness.

The right minister of the Ministry of Rites has submitted an impeachment memorial, and the empress dowager has read the memorial about Zheng Wen's frame-up of Chen Kaizhi.

For this reason, the Empress Dowager did not sleep all night, and now Zheng Wen returned to the palace, so Zhang Jing naturally had to report clearly what to do next.

……………………

Speaking of the academy, the academy is close to Shanglin Garden, with a quiet environment and lush forests in the distance. This is definitely a rare place in Luoyang.

From a distance, you can see an inscription. This is the handwriting of Emperor Taizu Gao, and only the word "Xuehe" was written on it. The handwriting was like a knife, and the strong wind blew towards you.

Going further inside, there are tall archways and ceremonial gates. After passing through the archways, there are guards here.

Chen Kaizhi took his academic status to the guards to verify it before allowing him to go in. Then he said goodbye to Deng Jian, and Chen Kaizhi bowed deeply to Deng Jian.

Deng Jian smiled and said, "Study hard and choose a good teacher. Now I will go on duty."

Chen Kaizhishou: "Senior brother, don't worry."

After entering this academy, I realized that there was another unique world inside. Among the undulating mountains, countless courtyards rose from the ground and hid in the forest. At the farthest, there was a mountain peak, a loft dozens of feet high, almost towering into the clouds.

Chen Kaizhi knew that it was the legendary Tianren Pavilion.

The Tianren Pavilion was built by Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Gao, who used countless civil servants to build it. Chen Kaizhi once saw it in the book. It is said that the Tianren Pavilion has three elders, and all of them are objects that even the emperor should respect. If you can study in the Tianren Pavilion, your future will be limitless.

Of course, Chen Kaizhi did not have such a luxury. He just hoped to study here and then take the imperial examination.

He stepped forward and seemed full of confidence. In any case, this is the highest institution of learning in Dachen, gathering countless elites. He looked at these countless mountains, courtyards everywhere, and every courtyard seemed to be the greatest remains of this era.

Going further a little, there is the entrance point at which the school entrance is just a minor official management, so it seems particularly remote.

Here, except for the places where you study, other institutions can only be described as remote and inconspicuous.

Chen Kaizhi found a way in according to Deng Jian's description, and a civil servant saluted him respectfully.

Chen Kaizhi returned the ceremony and arrived at the Maofang. He handed over his academic status. The clerk respectfully asked Chen Kaizhi's name and hometown. When he learned that Chen Kaizhi was Jie Yuan, he immediately looked at Chen Kaizhi more and said, "Don't respect, don't respect."

Chen Kaizhi said modestly: "Where?"

The civil servant smiled and said, "A few days ago, there were still a few doctors coming to ask if Chen Jieyuan had already been dined."

He smiled brightly.

Chen Kaizhi knew that someone wanted to accept himself into the hospital and become their disciple. After all, everyone hoped to find a good student.

Chen Kaizhi only pursed his lips and said nothing, and took a license plate, which was his identity in the school.

Well, the license plate is very auspicious, it seems to be in prison, but this is not bad, and Chen Kaizhi doesn't have too many taboos.

He turned around and was about to leave, but he heard hurried steps coming from outside, but saw someone coming quickly and shouting: "I want to see the officials from all the courtyards..."

When Chen Kaizhi saw that this person was about thirty years old, he was wearing a mourning clothes. He felt strange and deliberately stopped for a moment.

The clerk said, "Who are you? How can you make noise here?"
