After leading a group of ministers to watch the entire experiment, and then irresponsibly throwing two princes who had just reached the age of enlightenment and a lot of bad boys to Zhang Shou, the emperor said goodbye to his respected teacher in high spirits.
Ge Yong left the Ge Mansion with a large number of people. As for the plaque inscribed by Taizu, which had been wiped clean of water stains, it was given to Zhou Xun, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.
As for Da Sicheng, who had suffered a lot because of this plaque, but now he was shocked to learn that there really were hollow hidden patterns in the plaque, how would he struggle afterwards, and the emperor just let it go.
However, it was not that no one stayed. Ge Yong's old friends and mortal enemies Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan did not leave. And Wang Jie, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, even used the excuse of asking Mr. Ge for advice to stay in Ge's Mansion openly.
However, Zhang Shou was very surprised that Lu Wan, the Minister of War, was originally walking at the end, but Zhu Ying saw an opportunity and suddenly stepped forward to stop him, and she actually stayed behind!
Ge Yong originally planned to keep Zhang Shou to discuss the issue of terminology manuals - God knows that he has become the celebrity who has published the most books in the bookstore in recent years, but he did not know about any of them in advance, and every time he learned about it later.
He felt that now he planned to print a book to give himself a good reputation. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel that it was too annoying to have so many people gathering together.
Especially Lu Wan, a man who is dedicated to rising to great heights, is not popular. Even if Qi Jingshan, Chu Ying and Wang Datou stay, he is just an object to show off - Lu Wan is this.
For a person who doesn't understand those terms at all, showing off to them is like playing the piano to an ox!
Therefore, he simply didn't bother to care about Zhu Ying's reason for cutting people off. He ordered a mute servant to go back to the study and fetch the compiled terminology manual, and then said proudly: "You are lucky, this is my
This simple terminology manual developed by Zhang Shou, a close disciple, and I have changed all the unpronounceable terminology in the Sutra into easy-to-understand terms."
Chu Ying suddenly sarcastically said: "You and Zhang Shou worked together to figure it out? When did you, an old guy who didn't even know how to use Arabic numerals, become so trendy? Who doesn't know that you have always said that fools are not qualified?
Learn arithmetic!"
"What's wrong with me being trendy? Who said that there are so many fools in this world that many people can't understand even nine chapters of arithmetic? If things go on like this, we old guys will study arithmetic. Isn't it interesting? Cast a wider net to catch more fish.
You don’t understand the truth either, you’re an old fool!”
Zhu Ying, who was classified as a fool, immediately pouted, and then thought fiercely, even if she wanted to talk to Zhang Shou in the future, she seemed to have to replenish her knowledge.
Lu Wan, who was classified as a fool by another one, almost blushed. He once again recalled the scene when Zhang Shou explained to him but he couldn't understand it. That was really embarrassing!
Qi Jingshan ignored the two old friends who were arguing and stood quietly reading one of the volumes. Wangjie Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, who was also accomplished in arithmetic, held the book in his hand and called Zhang Shou aside.
.
"There is something I didn't have time to tell you before." The expression on Wang Jie's big face was very plain, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter, "The letter you unwrapped, I was at the court meeting
Instead of telling the truth, I slightly changed a few words and made it appear to be an insignificant letter among the thirteen letters."
After a moment of surprise, Zhang Shou immediately said thoughtfully: "Do you want others to misunderstand that I haven't solved it yet and caught the big fish behind it?"
"That's right." Wang Jie was satisfied that he was talking to someone who understood now. A faint smile appeared on his face. He then read the doctored letter to Zhang Shou in a low voice before continuing to explain.
"I have already given the real letter to the Emperor quietly, and the Emperor also agreed with my approach just now. After all, no matter whether someone deliberately mixes things up, as long as the news gets out, that person will definitely think about it. As long as he can't sit still
If you make another move, it will be easy to catch the enemy..."
Before Wang Jie could continue to explain clearly, Zhang Shou interrupted with a smile: "Wang Dayin, just have your own ideas. Anyway, I only deal with deciphering the secret messages. How to deal with them and how to fish is your business. It's your idea."
Have you told Lu Sanlang, Xiao Qi and Xiao Dai? As long as the three of them don't talk too much, that's fine."
"If the Empress Dowager hadn't summoned you today, you would have to wait until I got back before you could leave the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. Those three must still be hanging around in the Shuntian Mansion Yamen." Wang Jie said as if nothing had happened, then he lowered his head and flipped through the book in his hand, his eyes
After scanning the terminology, he raised his eyes again and said, "What Mr. Ge and you have researched must be good. When you publish it, you will send me a set."
He paused, and then added as if he was afraid that Zhang Shou wouldn't understand: "The book is too expensive, I can't afford it."
For these last seven words, he raised his voice a little.
At this time, Ge Yong, who had just argued with Chu Ying about who was more old-fashioned, caught it with sharp ears. Master Ge immediately shouted angrily: "Wang Datou, you still have the nerve to cry for poverty? This book belongs to me
Is it so expensive? It’s those profiteers! Besides, if the book is as cheap as cabbage, it’s not like it’s being wasted by a fool!”
Lu Wan, who was once again violently attacked by a fool, finally couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Wang Jie return the manuscript to Zhang Shou as if nothing had happened, he immediately saluted Ge Yong and walked away just like that. His original intention was to block Wang Jie.
After Jie stayed behind, he immediately started to get ready to chase the person, but who knew that Zhu Ying blocked his way again.
The angry Minister of the Ministry of War turned livid with anger and asked stiffly: "What do you mean, Miss Zhu?"
"What do I mean? Haha." Zhu Ying chuckled, then put away her smile and asked coldly, "I still want to ask you what you mean! She ordered Lu Sanlang to chase me like a wild bee and butterfly.
Let go, you tricked my second brother into saying he wanted to marry my family, but actually he was instigating people to deal with my father behind his back... Lu Shangshu, please tell me, what do you mean by this!"
Zhang Shou felt bad when he saw Zhu Ying stopping Lu Wan. When he heard Zhu Ying start questioning her like a barrage of questions, he just hesitated for a moment when he was about to dissuade her. She had already thrown out all the series of questions.
. But considering that what he promised her before was indeed not completed, he finally walked forward and stood beside her.
Lu Wan didn't know if Wang Jie, who had just left first, stopped because he heard Zhu Ying's words, but at least he knew that Ge Yong and Chu Ying, who were arguing just now, and Qi Jingshan, who was watching the drama, looked up at the same time.
Own.
Although the three of them have been out of the court for a long time, they are all once famous people. Once Zhu Ying's words spread through their mouths, the consequences will be disastrous!
In embarrassment, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Shou and said coldly: "It turns out that when Dr. Zhang asked me that question on behalf of Miss Zhu at the Zhi Gong Building yesterday, he had already identified in his heart that it was Zhao Guogong who I was attacking?
"
Zhu Ying glanced sideways at Zhang Shou in disbelief, and saw that he still looked calm. She thought that not only had he promised her, but he had also fulfilled his promise. Now that she had rashly stopped Lu Wan to question her, she might have broken something.
His plan made her feel a slight fever on her face.
But at this moment, she saw Zhang Shou looking towards her. With just one glance, her uneasiness disappeared.
The look in his eyes seemed to comfort her and say, it's okay, just say it.
Zhang Shou withdrew his gaze and saw that Lu Wan looked unkind. He said with a half-smile, "Didn't Lu Shangshu not answer me yesterday?"
He had just smashed it out, but was counterattacked again. Lu Wan was immediately filled with hatred. In front of Ge Yong and the other three, he naturally couldn't admit such an accusation. He immediately waved his sleeves angrily and said: "
It's nonsense! Zhu Ying, your father and brother were in trouble in the war, but you and Zhang Shou were blamed by others. No wonder the sage said that only women and villains have trouble..."
Before he could say the last two words, Zhu Ying, who had experienced a lot of ups and downs in her mood, immediately retorted: "You want to curse people when you can't stand it? Is this the cultivation of a minister? Don't think that you are the only one in the world who has read the Analects of Confucius. Next,
That sentence is not 'If you are close, you will feel inferior, and if you are far, you will resent'. Who wants to be close to you? With your temper, no one wants to stay far away from you!"
Zhang Shou knew that since Zhu Ying was classified as a woman, he was of course a villain. He raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, and then said sarcastically: "Lu Shangshu looks down on women and villains, but there is probably a saying that spreads between women and villains.
You've never heard of the popular saying among people: The agency was too clever, and it cost you your life!"
Before Lu Wan could become angry, he said calmly: "Last night I was at the Shuntian Mansion Office and heard about the ins and outs of those secret letters. The incident started at the Ministry of War, and then at the Linhai Camp. I ask Lu Shangshu to think twice.
.”
After hearing this, Lu Wan just suppressed his anger. He was currently on fire in the backyard. If Zhao Guogong's government really recognized him as the mastermind of the previous attack on Zhao Guogong and his son, he would undoubtedly be a sworn enemy. If they were to fight back with all their strength, he would
This attacker, who originally thought he was hiding in the dark, is in trouble!
So, he put his hands behind his back to cover up the movements of clenching and unclenching his fists, unclenching and clenching his fists again, and said coldly: "I have no enmity with Zhao Guogong and his son. Besides, civil servants and military generals have nothing to do with each other. If he really
When I came back from defeat, I should have participated in the impeachment, but now there is no news, and those censors are the ones who got wind of it, so how can I have that free time!"
After saying this, he sneered and said: "If you two want to raise an army to investigate, you might as well go and investigate the great scholar Zhang Yu and the governor Zhang Xinling. These two people are mutually exclusive and are sworn enemies of the Zhu family of Duke Zhao! There is also Zhang
Chen’s father, Zhang Chuan, the Duke of Qin who everyone thinks is mediocre and incompetent, has coveted the status of Duke Zhao and Duke of Chu as the mainstay among the ministers for a long time!"
Seeing Lu Wan walk away after finishing speaking, Zhang Shou saw that Zhu Ying was shocked and angry, so he said: "Yingying, the teacher and Mr. Qi and Mr. Chu are watching. Don't cry. If you have any grievances, go and tell them."
!”
Zhu Ying was simply stunned. Who was crying? I didn’t even have red eyes, okay!
The next moment, she saw Zhang Shou reaching out, as if he was going to wipe her tears. She was so stunned that she didn't notice at all. Zhang Shou was quietly observing Lu Wan's leaving figure, and naturally became even more concerned.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wan stopped walking and then walked even faster as if he was running away.
