Lu Sanlang was shown around by Zhang Shou as a peerless good student, and his mind went blank. The only thing that came to mind was probably the scene when Ge Yong showed off proudly with Zhang Shou. Although he was also very confident in his talent,
But because the teacher Zhang Shou was about the same age as him, he never thought that Zhang Shou would one day transform into Ge Yong.
Therefore, when faced with the sudden question, Lu Sanlang's first reaction was, could he actually become Zhang Shou's melon?
Seeing Lu Sanlang stunned for a moment, Zhang Shou calmly looked at the official director Chen: "If I remember correctly, Uncle Weinan just entrusted it in private, and a group of supervisors from Jiuzhang Hall calculated it day and night.
, most people have not even stepped out of the Imperial College. Your Excellency is really well-informed."
How could Mr. Chen be willing to fall for such evil deeds? He immediately smiled and said: "Dr. Zhang himself was not strict with his words. He leaked it to the supervisors at Banshan Hall. Those ignorant guys spread the news all over the world, and they came to blame me.
news-clever?"
Zhang Shou nodded with a smile and said: "That's right. Chief Chen doesn't even pay attention to Lu Zhu, the really talented head of Jiuzhangtang. Young boys like the third prince and the fourth prince, like Zhang Chen, are just standing up to him.
Qin Guogong's only son is the head of Banshan Hall, and you naturally feel that you don't know the heights of the world."
"I didn't say that!" Chief Chen almost went crazy with Zhang Shou's words, but then he noticed the subtle expressions of the people around him and immediately complained secretly. He habitually regarded Banshan Hall as a bunch of dudes living their lives.
place, and the top Guisuke didn't even bother to show his name, but he forgot that because of the emperor's words, all the supervising students who had skipped classes stayed there obediently!
He immediately changed his words and said: "In short, everyone outside now knows that Jiuzhangtang claims to be solving problems for the Arms Bureau, and Dr. Zhang keeps talking about the various benefits of Young Master Lu Shangshu. He will never want to say that you and him are just like each other."
Nothing accomplished, right?"
Zhang Shou stopped Lu Sanlang who was about to speak, and said with a smile: "May I ask your Excellency, do you know how many years the secret box of the Ordnance Bureau has been lying around?"
As soon as these words came out, Director Chen, who had just suffered many setbacks, suddenly felt a little bit in his heart. Being the first to jump out has a disadvantage, that is, you have to bear the thunder yourself!
As long as Zhang Shou is willing to bring out all the people who have failed in front of the secret box of the Ordnance Bureau, then even if he and teachers and students Lu Sanlang really can't figure it out, wouldn't it mean that outsiders like him accuse them of destroying their predecessors?
Brought in?
Seeing that Chief Chen was in a dilemma, Zhao Shilang secretly cursed a loser, and finally decided to rub his sleeves in person: "Dr. Zhang, it seems that your seniors are helpless, so you, Lu Zhu, and the teachers and students of Jiuzhang Hall can't solve the problem."
Is it natural to come out? It’s a joke! Your seniors, including Grand Master Ge, all followed the right path and came up one step at a time!"
Zhang Shou looked at Minister Zhao with a relaxed expression, as if he didn't understand, and smiled without saying a word.
Zhao Shilang didn't want to care whether Zhang Shou was really confident or bluffing. He only knew that he was very angry and wanted to knock down this young man who was standing there like a piece of scenery together with that fat guy Lu Zhu, and then stepped on a
Thousands of feet!
His voice was almost roaring: "Your seniors each have their own responsibilities and cannot spend too much time on a secret box, but your official position and status are all thanks to the emperor's repeated rewards.
Yes, how could you not do your best to repay the emperor for his kindness? You have plenty of time and energy, so you should do it day and night!"
Faced with these stern words that occupied the commanding heights, Zhang Shou laughed again and asked lightly: "So, Minister Zhao thinks that a box in the Ordnance Bureau with no clear explanation of what it contains is better than adhering to Emperor Taizu's will."
Is Jiuzhang Hall more important than Banshan Hall, which teaches Guijie’s children?”
"You are arrogant!" Zhao Shilang has completely seen through Zhang Shou. There is no doubt that this guy is using the Ordnance Bureau's mission to promote Jiuzhangtang, and it is impossible to solve it!
He vigorously shook his sleeves and showed the fierce momentum he had when he was the censor. He turned around and bowed deeply to the emperor. He said sternly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Shou has repeatedly made false claims and confused right and wrong. It is clear that he is a deceiver and a thief.
In the past, he only had some small achievements based on luck, and he is not worthy of being a teacher at all!"
He paused for a moment, and then took out a trump card that he had been preparing for many days and waiting for the opportunity: "Previously, the emperor gave him the post of Imperial Minister and Zhan Shifu's Zuo Zanshan for his merit. Now I sincerely request the emperor,
If it turns out that he is powerless against the secret box, please deprive him of these official positions! If you want to reward merit, there are so many official positions in the world, why should you chill the hearts of scholars in the world!"
Hearing Zhao Shilang's sinister intentions, even though Lu Wan didn't really have any affection for Zhang Shou, he had already hired someone to propose marriage to his fat son, and he proposed it in front of the emperor, so he had no intention of backing down.
room.
He immediately stood up and said angrily: "Zhao Hanxuan, are you worthy of representing the world's scholars? Dr. Zhang's official position was earned by him who was willing to take extraordinary risks, capture traitors, work hard to decipher secret messages, but you have gained it through your twenty years of official career.
You know exactly what you have done in your official career! Don’t forget to think about when you were patrolling Ningxia, you forced the Mongolian army to rebel and almost caused chaos!"
Lu Sanlang entered the palace for the first time today, the first time he enjoyed his father's protection, the first time he saw his father confront other high-ranking officials, and the first time he saw his father angrily settle old scores. Therefore, he only
I felt that today's court visit was simply wonderful, but I couldn't help but regret that I was kept behind from the beginning to the end and had no chance to speak.
But at this moment, he heard the sound of a chime, followed by the silence of the Fengtian Palace, which was filled with roars and whispers just now, followed by the emperor's lazy voice.
"Is that enough? I just asked you to discuss the matter of the second prince insulting the Liu family's daughter in the street, but you have gone so far off topic that you even opened up an old score from who knows how many years ago! Lu Zhu, your family
The teacher just said so many good things about you, now tell me what you think of what Zhao Qing, the Minister of War, just said?"
Lu Sanlang was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed. He glanced at Minister Zhao with disdain, and then said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. His words are nonsense!"
Even if Lu Wan knew Lu Sanlang's temper, he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Lu Sanlang being so rude in front of the emperor. Zhang Shou even put his hand on his forehead, thinking that Fatty Lu was Fatty Lu, and he was back to his old ways.
No one can stop it!
Before Zhao Shilang and other shocked officials could scold him, the emperor asked with great interest: "Why is this nonsense?"
"His son, who is touted as a genius, can't even do the quick calculations of continuous addition and continuous multiplication. The three questions he submitted to the Shuntian government office were copied from others, but he still has the nerve to accuse my teacher of cheating the world and stealing his reputation. It's so funny!
Zhao Shilang knows nothing about arithmetic. If a fourteen-ring text lock is placed in front of him, he will just stare and talk nonsense!"
Lu Sanlang is sometimes like a slick and cunning fat man, and sometimes he is easily moved and even does impulsive things, but most of the time, he is a genuine piece of meat.
Therefore, after scolding Minister Zhao, he raised his neck and sneered at others: "If you can't open that box, do you want the teacher to withdraw the official positions that the emperor previously rewarded him with? What if you can open it? You
Let him be the Minister of War?"
While he was talking, he suddenly glared at Chief Chen with extremely unkind eyes: "If our teachers and students can figure it out, can Chief Chen of the Ministry of Personnel also give up his responsibility to me, the chief of Jiuzhangtang?
Can you give an official position to the other supervisors in Jiuzhangtang who are constantly calculating day and night? It doesn’t hurt to stand and talk, oh, no, don’t make excuses if you are envious, jealous or hateful!”
Zhang Shou unknowingly remembered that on the day of the interview, Lu Sanlang said that you should not make excuses if you are stupid, and couldn't help but smile. And his smile finally succeeded in irritating Director Chen.
"Huangkou boy, if you can solve that problem, what if I let you be the head of the Ministry of War!" Director Chen was completely heartbroken when he said this. Your father, Lu Wan, had previously fined you half a year's salary.
The body of sin, Zhang Shou's foundation is even more unstable. I don't believe you can concentrate on doing serious things when you are busy with your marriage!
Seeing Chief Chen and Lu Sanlang glare at each other, the emperor suddenly sneered: "Very good, do you still want me to be a witness?"
As soon as he finished speaking, in the queue of distinguished nobles who had been watching the excitement, Weinan Bo Zhang Kang suddenly came out of the queue and said slowly: "Reporting to the emperor, I would like to ask the emperor to be a witness. I met Lu Sanlang last night.
, he said, the secret box can be unlocked by touching it."
Lu Wan was immediately shocked. Just when he was about to say that Lu Sanlang must have reported the wrong letter, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Last night, Lu Sanlang quietly took someone out. He didn't know where he went. When he came back, he
I was tossing around with Zhang Shou until midnight, could it have happened at that time?
"Oh?" The emperor's eyes really lit up, "Are you serious about this?"
Zhang Shou looked at the dumbfounded Chief Chen and the gloomy Zhao Shilang, and immediately said cheerfully: "Can I ask Uncle Weinan to bring the box in?"
After all, he was once a highly favored nobleman of the Ruizong Dynasty. Although Zhang Kang could not bring a heavy box to court, he had already entrusted it to Chu Kuan, the eunuch of etiquette. At this time, Chu Kuan personally
He came in with the box and sent it to the emperor respectfully. The emperor took it and put it on his knees, rubbing the texture that he still remembered, and finally nodded with a smile.
"Zhang Qing is really fast at doing things."
"It should be said that Uncle Weinan's previous attempts were not in vain." Zhang Shou smiled and then said sincerely, "After the calculations by Chen, Lu Zhu and other supervisors, they did not actually try it on the box. So there is something wrong.
It's my fault and it has nothing to do with them."
"Okay!" The emperor nodded heavily without thinking, "Just tell me!"
Zhang Shou took a deep breath, and then said word by word: "If the algorithm is correct, these fourteen characters should be Qing, Jin, Ci, Ke, Wei, Lun, Li, Chen, Cai, Ling, Nian.
, Xi, hurt, Shu."
The emperor quickly turned the dial of the fourteen-ring text lock with familiarity. When the last word "庶" was turned, in the silent hall, many high-ranking officials standing in the front row heard a slight click.
, and then, even those at the back of the queue heard the emperor’s laugh, followed by an unmistakable compliment: “Very good, the box is finally open!”
