Zhu Shenxin's attitude was very strange. It has been two days since Su Tiancheng returned home. Zhu Shenxin has never expressed his opinion about Gu Hengbo's arrival, and has not agreed, nor has he disagreed.

I haven't seen Su Tiancheng for a long time, so Zhu Shenxin is naturally very intimate. Whenever Su Tiancheng mentioned Gu Hengbo's incident, Zhu Shenxin would make excuses. He always talked about children, saying that Su Tiancheng was going to name his son.

Su Tiancheng was extremely smart. Of course, he knew Zhu Shenxin's thoughts. Zhu Shenxin must be unhappy when this situation occurred, but it was difficult to say it directly, so he simply did not express his opinion. But the situation could not continue like this. He was determined to marry Gu Hengbo himself, and it was impossible to push Gu Hengbo out. It would be impossible to marry him by force. He could not handle the relationship between the family well, which was also a manifestation of failure.

Su Tiancheng had already thought about his son's name. Su Mingji, according to the Su family's seniority, the following is the Ming school, which must be followed. Jiji means caution, stability, and diligence. This is Su Tiancheng's requirement for his son.

Children of wealthy families are either particularly outstanding or particularly playboys. This seems to have become a rule. In fact, there are certain inevitable factors. If the family is in good condition, a lot of money can be invested in the education of children. However, if you are not careful, spoiling will also exist, which will make the children develop a bad personality and make it much more difficult to correct them.

Su Mingjie is still young and can temporarily live in the capital and follow his mother. However, when he can start studying, Su Tiancheng has to find a way. Almost all women and a boy in the mansions in Beijing are women. Living in such an environment is not very good, and the boy's growth process cannot be separated from his father's influence.

The news that Su Tiancheng returned to the capital soon spread.

There were many people visiting the door. Xu Eryi, Wu Weiye, Chen Yutai and others, all of them came. After so long, there were not many true supporters in the court. The former mentors Weng Tongzhang, Fu Youliang and others were much weaker because they had few interactions with each other.

Liu Zhongji and Deng Hui came to visit him, and Su Tiancheng was very happy.

The palace examination has ended, and both of them have participated. The results are still good. Liu Zhongji is the 27th place in the second grade and Deng Hui is the 33rd place in the second grade. According to the usual arrangement, the two are likely to enter the Hanlin Academy and become Shujishi.

When Su Tiancheng was talking to the two, he suggested that they go to Henan Prefecture. He should be the magistrate directly and not think about entering the Hanlin Academy. The two agreed.

In fact, when the Ministry of Personnel arranged for the Jinshi, its attitude had changed slightly, including some Jinshi themselves, and they were not completely thinking about entering the Hanlin Academy. This was mainly two aspects of influence. On the one hand, it was Su Tiancheng's role model, the second place in the palace examination, and directly released. Now he is the fourth-rank magistrate. Look at the top scholar Chen Yutai and Tanhua Wu Weiye, and he is still in the Hanlin Academy. One is the editor of the sixth-rank rank. The other is the influence caused by the Zhongxing Academy. The views recommended by the Zhongxing Academy, scholars should care about the country and the world, be down-to-earth, and start from the grassroots level. If you do not have the experience of the grassroots level, do not know the sufferings of the people, do not have real experience in governing the country, and do not have the experience of dominating one side, how could you put forward practical opinions and suggestions in the court?

The influence of these two aspects is still extraordinary. The main reason is the middle school society, which has actually formed an influence. In the southern area, the middle school society almost replaced Donglin Academy and Fushe. Zhang Pu, the leader of Fushe, took the initiative to join Zhongxing Academy. Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin Academy, also gradually moved closer to Zhongxing Academy.

The emperor finally summoned Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng knew that the emperor would definitely meet him, and it was rare to have such an opportunity. After the last secret memorial, the emperor gave him the Shangfang sword, which showed that he had been moved by the content of his secret memorial.

Su Tiancheng was also waiting for such an opportunity. In front of Zhu Youjian, he not only talked about major affairs in the court, but also about his own family affairs. Since Zhu Shenxin is a royal relative, Zhu Youjian came out to do his work will definitely be effective. This will enhance the status of Zhu Shenxin and Gu Hengbo and ensure the stability of the family.

When he arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Su Tiancheng saw Zhu Youjian with a smile on his face.

Zhu Youjian's spirit has improved a lot, unlike before, which always has a depressed atmosphere.

The kowtow procedure cannot be eliminated, after all, he is the emperor.

"Su Aiqing, I envy you when I return to the capital this time and spend time with my family. Look at me, it is very difficult to chat with the queen with so many things all day long."

Zhu Youjian took the initiative to mention the matter at home, and Su Tiancheng couldn't ask for it and climbed up the pole.

"The emperor cares about me, and I am very grateful. However, recently, I have some small things in my family and I still want to ask the emperor to fulfill my wishes."

Wang Chengen behind Zhu Youjian couldn't help but look up and look at Su Tiancheng, thinking that Su Tiancheng is really interesting. The emperor is just an excuse. If you want to answer, you should flatter and report to the serious matter.

Zhu Youjian was also caught off guard, and he never expected Su Tiancheng to say this.

Of course he knew what was going on.

"Su Aiqing, there are already many virtuous wives around you, and I have seen them all."

"The emperor loves his humble ministers, so he has also won the favor of girls. The emperor knows everything about my family and begs the emperor to make the decision for me. My wife is a relative of the royal country and is extremely noble. I dare not offend me. If I make my wife unhappy and move the emperor out, I will not be able to live a life. This family will be prosperous."

"Haha, Su Aiqing, you really know how to speak. Just based on your temper, how can Zhu Shenxin do anything? I see that you are decisive in killing and have a lot of opinions. Well, since you have spoken, if I don't help, I can't argue."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian turned his head and spoke to Wang Chengen behind him.

"Dadfather-in-law, remember to summon Zhu Shenxin and Gu Hengbo to the palace tomorrow, and I and the Queen will meet them."

Su Tiancheng was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and thanked him.

"Su Aiqing, when you mentioned the matter of Zhongxing Academy, I still don't understand. Can you tell me in detail?"

"The Emperor, Zhongxing Academy, has formed a climate in the south and has a significant impact. However, in the northern area, it has not yet truly formed an influence. I think the concept advocated by Zhongxing Academy is very good. Of course, there are many understandings of me."

Zhu Youjian smiled and did not interrupt Su Tiancheng. He never expected that Su Tiancheng would take the initiative to show off himself.

"I have boldly analyzed the contradiction between imperial power and ministerial power. Some ministers in the court have gradually transformed into bureaucratic landlords. They have protected their vested interests through various means, thus affecting the government affairs and the effectiveness of imperial edicts. What they rely on is the understanding of public opinion. Donglin Academy and Fushe all clamor to protect the interests of literati and gentry and wealthy families. I am most dissatisfied with this."

"For example, many ministers in the court strongly supported the maritime ban, opposed the collection of salt tax, mineral tax, and the rise of imperial merchants. They said that these were all the emperors and the people competing for profit, but the ministers believed that the real benefits were the literati, gentry, wealthy households, and ordinary people who did not benefit at all."

"When I was in Jiangning County, I was in this regard. The tax collection of taxes by the Maritime Bureau is the best explanation. The rich gentry and wealthy families make money in business. I do not object to it. If you do your business, abide by the law. I also have to support you strongly, but don't forget to pay taxes. If you think about favors on the one hand and try your best to protect your own interests on the other hand, I will be polite."

"The core concept that Zhongxing Society adheres to is in this regard. The one that should contribute to the country is the literati class, the gentleman class, the rich family class. The ministers think that the emperor has to rely on them, but they need to contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youjian's eyes were flashing.

He finally understood that the point that Su Tiancheng emphasized was to safeguard the imperial power and suppress the power of ministers.

This view and understanding were vague in the past. After listening to Su Tiancheng's introduction, it gradually became clearer. He never expected that Su Tiancheng had such an understanding. In his subconscious, Zhu Youjian believed that letting Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxin get married was the most beautiful thing. Now Su Tiancheng is really considering the problem for the royal family.

"Su Aiqing said it very well. I finally understand. Then tell me, how should I support Zhongxing Academy."

"I still have two suggestions. First, the Zhongxing Academy should set up a special institution in the north. I think that setting up a special institution in Henan Prefecture is the best choice. The reason why I did not choose to set up a city is because the development of the Zhongxing Academy requires a peaceful environment. With the gradual development and growth of the Zhongxing Academy, and finally unified the understanding of scholars, I can naturally move to the capital. Second, the talents recommended by the Zhongxing Academy must be boldly used by the court. These talents are all carefully studied by the school. They are scholars who know the sufferings of the people and are familiar with the affairs of the lower-level affairs. They will work in prefectures and counties, for example, will bring a new trend. I believe that it will not take many years, and the atmosphere in the court will definitely change greatly."

When Su Tiancheng left the Yangxin Palace, Wang Chengen personally sent it out.

"Mr. Su, you have gone to the emperor's heart. Our family really admires you."

"The father-in-law praised me. The father-in-law always remembers to take my father-in-law as an example. The father-in-law is always by the emperor's side at all times. If the father-in-law has any bad things, I hope he will remind me more."
