    The sound of reading came from the Imperial Academy.  Huang Zongxi and Fang Yizhi walked out side by side, while the students stayed away.  Fang Yizhi was the dean of the academy, but what the scholars were more afraid of was Huang Zongxi, who kept a straight face all day long. His broad sleeves swayed with Fang Yizhi's walking pace, and there was an indescribable sense of coolness: "You are finally here."  Are you willing to come out and help me?" Huang Zongxi hummed: "Help you?" "Haha," Fang Yizhi laughed, "I am the dean of Suzhou Academy. Aren't you opening schools all over the world? If Suzhou Academy moves to Beijing, it will not be Suzhou.  It is an academy, but it is a world academy, which can establish branches in various places. " Huang Zongxi stopped and stared at Fang Yizhi with his dark eyes: "Aren't you out of your mind? The academy doesn't even have money to buy coal in winter.  Do you want to open a branch academy? " "Money is not a problem." Fang Yizhi is confident.  He waved to a carriage parked not far outside the gate of the Imperial College, and the driver drove the carriage to the door.  Fang Yizhi walked closer, opened the car door curtain, turned to Huang Zongxi and said, "It's very spacious inside, enough for two people." Huang Zongxi saw Fang Yizhi's malicious smile, stretched his head and took a look inside, and made sure there was nothing wrong.  After being deceived, he climbed up and asked, "Where are you going?" Fang Yizhi followed him into the car, lowered the door curtain, and said, "Go and see Prime Minister Zong." "What are you doing with him?" Huang Zongxi had a look on his face.  He was disdainful and said, "He's just an executioner." Fang Yizhi sat opposite Huang Zongxi and said lazily: "Years ago, I drafted a charter for the reform of the scientific examination system to His Majesty, but His Majesty never responded. I thought Zhang Bingyin didn't know about it.  I was thrown into that corner. Unexpectedly, the chamberlain came to deliver the order the day before yesterday, ordering me to go to the Zongxiang to obey the orders and discuss the opening of office schools and the scientific examination. He seemed to be talking about something ordinary, but his eyes were like that.  He couldn't hide his pride. "The gate of Shangshu Province is not easy to enter. In order to increase my face, I borrowed this carriage." He pointed up and down and showed off to Huang Zongxi: "It's not bad." The interior of this carriage is indeed very luxurious.  The cushions made of colorful silk are soft and the pillows are fluffy. It is obvious at first glance that the owner knows how to enjoy it. Huang Zongxi is silent. He is not interested in this carriage. Although Fang Yizhi is dormant in the poor academy, he is there.  The connections in the capital are unimaginable. After all, he once managed affairs in the General¡¯s Mansion and served as deputy to the then Prime Minister. ¡°What do you think?  " "What I think is what you think." Fang Yizhi stopped joking: "There are two parts to opening academies, one is the Imperial College in Nanjing and Beijing, and the other is the prefecture schools and county schools in various places, but the key is  Scientific examination reform.  " "The reform of the scientific examination system will be carried out in three steps. This year we will still take the Eight-legged essay examination, next year we will abolish the Eight-legged essay examination and policy theory, and five years later we will add additional examinations.  " Huang Zongxi listened silently. Ever since he heard in Suzhou City that the Regent had ascended the throne in Beijing, Fang Yizhi had been drawing cakes for him. Each one was like a poisonous cake sweeter than honey. He deeply hated Zhai Zhe for his rebellion, but he still  He couldn't help but follow him to Beijing, his desire to display his ambition surpassed all else. He knew that now he and Fang Yizhi were notorious among the Donglin Party. Even those people would participate in the imperial examination, but they would not scold them behind their backs.  They couldn't understand the hatred in their hearts. There were 452 students in Suzhou Academy. They were all children of prestigious families in Jiangnan. They were forcibly moved to Beijing by the imperial troops. What would each family think?  It was also a method of the imperial court. After the regent came to the throne, many people felt that the emperor had changed and was no longer as benevolent as before. Many people wanted to put the blame on the cruel Prime Minister Zong Mao, but Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi.  Such a person would not make such a mistake. The carriage engraved with the emblem of the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army passed through the city of Beijing without any obstruction until it stopped at the gate of Shangshu Province. The guards saw the appearance of the carriage clearly and looked at the two civilians who came out of the carriage.  Although he had doubts, he didn't dare to offend. "The Academy asked Zongzong for help." Huang Zongxi admired his friend very much. Without him, he would only have a thatched cottage and teach three or five disciples.  His knowledge can be spread all over the world, and he feels like there is a little mouse burrowing around in his heart. Without that carriage, the guards would probably have whipped away a group of Mongolians who had no credentials.  People come to the door and make noises. This is what they do. This is the order of the Prime Minister. "Academy?"  The academy there?  " Fang Yizhi looked up at the sky and ignored him. His Majesty passed the decree without considering the difficulties of common people like them. If they didn't ask Xiao Zhiyan to borrow a carriage, how could they meet the prime minister of the dynasty. " Fang Yizhi?  "The guard has never heard of this name. Huang Zongxi is angry again. They all have Jinshi status. It is really embarrassing to be stopped by a soldier. &nbspThe general sitting on the side of the carriage came over and showed the soldiers the token of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion that he had just issued, and said: "I am Li Daqing, the governor of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, and Mr. Fang belongs to the Zong Xiang.  Friend." The guard carefully identified the token before informing him inside with a puzzled look on his face.  At this moment, a sedan stopped at the door, and a chubby civil servant got off the sedan. He saw Fang Yizhi at a glance, came up and said hello: "Brother Fang is here." Fang Yizhi turned around and recognized the person who was coming, Peng, the Minister of Rites.  Bin was once a member of several societies.  It's good to have a wide network of contacts. You can see acquaintances everywhere. He quickly bowed and saluted: "I came to see the Prime Minister, but I was blocked from the door." Peng Bin dared not accept his courtesy, so he ducked and said, "What are you doing?  Kill me." He originally wanted to bring Fang Yizhi in, but when he heard that he came to see Zong Mao, his face was confused: "The Prime Minister is majestic, I will go to the Chancellor to deliver a message, Mr. Fang Yizhi will wait for a while."  He smiled and said: "No hurry, no hurry" he whispered in his heart.  He hid in the Imperial College for half a year and did not interact with the officials in the court. He never expected that Zong Mao's power would be so great.  Seeing that the two commoners were acquaintances with the Minister of Rites, the guard boldly went to the Chancellor's desk to report the matter.  Peng Bin got back into the sedan chair and walked leisurely into the gate of Shangshu Province.  Huang Zongxi sneered and said, "Zong Mao's arrogance is so great that even the Minister of Rites did not dare to vouch for it." When the guard heard what he said, his expression changed. This time, Fang Yizhi did not refute him.  After waiting for a cup of tea, an attendant came out and saluted from afar: "Mr. Fang, the Prime Minister has invited you." When Li Daqing saw someone coming out to pick him up, he saluted Fang Yizhi and said: "Mr. Fang, go in first, I will  Just wait outside." "Thank you very much." Fang Yizhi grabbed Huang Zongxi and walked to the Shangshu Province with the attendant.  None of them spoke on the road and waited for another quarter of an hour at the door of Shangshutai. All Huang Zongxi's impatience was written on his face.  Finally, someone came to announce: "The Prime Minister is here to invite you." The two of them walked into the quiet Shangshutai, and all the officials they saw along the way were in a hurry and looked attentive.  It is here that the entire empire is ruled. So far, as far as Fang Yizhi knows, the emperor has not rejected Zongmao's memorial.  The Zong Mao that everyone sees is always a very busy Zong Mao. He is at the peak of his energy in life.  The attendants led the two of them into the desk. Fang Yizhi and Huang Zongxi both bowed and saluted Zongmao.  They have the title of Jinshi of the former Ming Dynasty. According to the new laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the title of the former Ming Dynasty can be continued, and they have the right not to kneel before officials.  Zong Mao ordered his attendants to sit down and said with a smile: "Mi Zhi, if you don't appear in front of me anymore, I won't even remember you." He didn't look at Huang Zongxi. There was no need for the prime minister to force himself to smile at people he didn't like.  Fang Yizhi also replied with a joke: "Prime Minister, your Majesty probably thinks so too, so he ordered me to come to the Chancery." Compared with him, Huang Zongxi was a complete idiot in dealing with people.  "Your Majesty's approval has been sent to the Chancellor's Desk." Zongmao turned around and took out a thick stack of official documents from the shelf behind him: "This is the charter drawn up by the chamberlain based on Mi Zhi's memorial, and he ordered the Chancellor's Desk to implement it." He handed over the official documents.  He handed it over and said: "You two have a special status and are not officials in the court. Please read this charter at the minister's desk and not leave." Fang Yizhi took it with both hands.  "Mi Zhi thought that the reform of the scientific examination system would be announced to the world, and the academies could be established all over the world without the money from the imperial court. But just like the Donglin Academy in the past, the academy would be influenced by whoever took the money, so the academy still had to belong to the imperial court.  "Jurisdiction." Zong Mao pointed to his desk and said, "The official school is located at the Shangshutai, and it is managed by the Ministry of Revenue and the local government." His Majesty's decision was not like this, but he was convinced.  His Majesty.  "Scientific examination reform, His Majesty agrees with your statement. After six years, policy theory and investigation of objects will be divided equally." Huang Zongxi just made a gesture to speak, Fang Yizhi secretly pulled his sleeve: "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister looked at each other.  In the long run, Mi Zhi has learned a lesson." "Mi Zhi, you really don't want to be an official?" Zong Mao smiled sinisterly, "Official learning is the foundation of the world, private learning can exist, but if you want to change the world's habits, you must rely on official learning.  If you know the power of scientific research, why bother to hide your ears?" Fang Yizhi was so conflicted that the Prime Minister could not tolerate the Academy being separated from the control of Shangshutai.  Zong Mao said: "Your Majesty has agreed with your proposal, do you believe that others can do what you want to do well?" Fang Yizhi is no longer relaxed, nor can he pretend to be relaxed.  "Think about it carefully. I had other candidates to take on this important task, but His Majesty said that this matter can only be left to you, so he can rest assured. I have never seen another person who can gain such trust from Your Majesty."  This time Huang Zongxi didn't want to talk.   Either this matter is under the control of the Chancellor, or they are excluded. This is the Prime Minister's decision.  Fang Yizhi understood that His Majesty did not summon him directly, but asked them to come to the Chancellor's desk, which meant that His Majesty had made a decision and that he was not indispensable.  He suddenly felt that his persistence for so many years was so naive. He was even more naive than Huang Zongxi next to him.  "Taking the money of the imperial court and using the majesty of the imperial court to do your own thing? How stupid is that?" Zongmao said the last words: "Mi Zhi, Your Majesty asked me to send a message, ordering you to think about it for ten days, and he will summon you after ten days.  Also, I have some good news for you. The emperor's eldest son is planning to get married in October. "Fang Yizhi understands that the emperor's eldest son has chosen a good time to get married. Fushe must have disappeared under the pressure and wooing.  Everything is like a big net covering the world. The Shilin who controlled the world's discourse in the previous dynasty suddenly became so small.
