The two hundred and fifteenth chapter each have their own love, teach according to others
If he were drinking tea right now, Zhang Shou can guarantee that he would have spit out the tea all the way.
Is Zhang Chen really determined to please Princess Yongping? Otherwise, he, a good future Duke of Qin, would learn how to write eight-legged essays!
Not only him, but Zhu Er also looked sideways at Zhang Chen. Even if he had never heard of Zhang Chen clamoring to marry Princess Yongping, if someone made such a request at this time, he would be a fool to guess that. . Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but remember that Lu Sanlang's pursuit of Zhu Ying was just a pretense, and now that Zhang Chen had also changed his direction, he suddenly felt evil fire rising.
One by one, you are not all using my sister as a cover, are you?
He immediately sneered angrily: "Zhang Chen, you want to learn eight-legged essay? It's too late! Even if you learn it now, you may not be able to become a scholar in ten or eight years. If you want to use this to deceive beauties, it will be even more difficult." Maybe it won’t happen in fifty years!”
Zhang Chen immediately became angry and embarrassed, and suddenly forgot that this was not on the street or somewhere else, but in the Qianqing Palace. He said angrily and sarcastically: "So what, it's better than you who only learned to practice martial arts when you were a lot older!" If you had known this, why bother? When you spent three days fishing and two days drying up nets, did you think others didn't see you?"
Seeing that these two were becoming more and more outrageous, Zhang Shou finally couldn't bear it anymore and immediately coughed heavily. At this time, the two top noble disciples with big eyes and small eyes suddenly came back to their senses and glanced at the throne cautiously. The emperor, who was indifferent to emotions and anger, immediately stood with his head lowered and his hands lowered. He looked so honest and honest. When he saw this, he sneered and said: "You still know that this is the Palace of Qianqing?"
Seeing that neither of the two dared to say a word, he said in a deep voice: "You two, what did you say to Ada and Aer! The young man does not work hard, the old man is in vain, you are all the same! Zhu Erlang, you are learning martial arts now, You may not be able to achieve any results from learning, but learning is better than not learning at all, and mediocre martial arts skills are better than having no strength at all! As for you, Zhang Chen, what do you want to do with learning eight-legged essay?"
"I..." Zhang Chen accidentally said this to Zhang Shou. Knowing that he couldn't hide his thoughts from Zhang Shou, he simply said bravely, "I heard that Princess Yongping values the most talented people who are good at writing eight-legged essays... …”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhang Shou and Zhu Er, even the emperor couldn't help laughing. But he didn't continue to watch Zhang Chen's joke. He patted the armrest and laughed and cursed: "Mingyue presides over Yuehua." In Lou Wenhui, there are not thirty or fifty literary talents who stand out, but at least ten or twenty, among whom there are always talented people with both talent and appearance. When it comes to eight-legged essays, who is not better than you?"
Zhang Chen was speechless for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at Zhang Shou. Noticing his gaze, Zhang Shou simply asked angrily and funnyly: "What do you mean, this election is for Princess Yongping? "
"No..." Zhang Chen denied it instinctively, but when he noticed that the emperor's eyes looked a little strange, he hurriedly explained, "I just want to give it a try, and I don't have any wrong thoughts... Really, I am …I just can’t reconcile myself to it…”
When he said the word "unwilling", Zhang Chen finally lowered his head, and then whispered: "I heard what the young gentleman just said. Although I am very excited when I think of the scene of being proud in front of my father, but if If this continues, how can I be better than my father... My grandfather is such a powerful person, but my father is just a nerd, and I am not as good as my father. What will I do in the future?"
"If the Zhang family is really inferior to the previous generation, even if there is a Duke of Qin who has a false reputation, won't he become a waste waiting to die relying on the shadow of his ancestors? What if I really have the talent to write eight-legged essays, and I will be like Zhu in the future.
The eldest son’s teacher, Mr. Liu, seems to be a late bloomer at the age of forty-eight and passed the imperial examination?"
His voice was not loud, and he did not have any confidence in what he said, but when the emperor heard it, a smile gradually appeared on his face: "If you came here for Mingyue, I originally wanted to remind you, Mingyue recommended it.
She has nothing to do with those talented people who are both talented and beautiful. If you want to win her heart by writing eight-legged essays, that is simply wishful thinking. But now..."
The smile on the emperor's face deepened: "Now I have to say that you have a little ambition, but only a little. The teacher of brother Yingying you are talking about is Liu Zhiyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of War, right? Do you think he is a late bloomer?
?You only know that he won the Huiyuan Award at the age of forty-eight, but do you know that he won the Scholarship Award at the age of fourteen and the Juren Award at the age of twenty-five?"
Zhang Chen was stunned at first, and then took a breath of cold air. But Zhang Shou was not surprised. You know, in the Ming Dynasty in history, it was commonplace for young and high-spirited people to fail the examination time and time again.
Let’s not talk about the famous Nanzhili Township Examination Jieyuan, but he was involved in a major rural examination fraud case, so Tang Yin and Tang Bohu were deposed for life. Let’s talk about Xu Guangqi’s mentor Jiao Hong. He was a scholar at the age of sixteen and a scholar at the age of twenty-five.
As a result, he failed in the examination after taking the examination again and again. It was not until the age of fifty that he suddenly won the first prize. It was a miracle that he lived to be old and passed the examination.
When the emperor saw Zhang Chen finally showed a dumbfounded expression, he said earnestly: "It's not easy to write about craftsmanship. How many famous people may not be able to get a gold medal after studying for a lifetime, so don't compete with them for this stepping stone."
.As for Mingyue... let me ask you, what do you like about her?"
Zhang Shou saw that the emperor clearly had no intention of appointing Zhang Chen as his consort. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked: "Princess Yongping is beautiful and beautiful. She is known as a talented woman. Do you admire her appearance or her personality?"
Talent?"
Zhang Chen never expected that the emperor would be so direct...and Zhang Shou was actually more direct than the emperor!
He subconsciously took a breath to calm down, and then whispered: "I just want to marry a wife who is different from my mother. My mother is too obedient and relies on my father for everything, so my father goes his own way and doesn't want to make progress.
...I just hope that my future wife can be more unique...of course she must be a rare beauty!"
Zhu Er just wanted to scold her. How dare you chase after my sister in the past just because she was a maverick beauty? You guys did this just to anger your father, or to show off that you are different from your father.
?
The emperor was so angry at Princess Yongping yesterday that he saw such a living treasure like Zhang Chen again today. Even if he had known that there were all kinds of wonders in the world, he still couldn't help but laugh. At the moment, he no longer paid attention to Zhang Chen, but
Looking at Zhu Er, he asked: "What about Zhu Erlang and Zhang Chen? Because of Mingyue's maverick behavior and both talent and appearance, he was moved to the heart of a gentleman. What about you?"
Zhu Er did not expect that the topic would suddenly turn to him. After being stunned for a moment, he instinctively said: "I am not as unrealistic as Zhang Chen. I just want a virtuous wife and a filial son. That's enough!"
Hoping for a good wife is not too much to ask for...but what the hell is your wish for a filial son when you haven't even married a wife yet?
Zhang Shouzheng couldn't help but curse, but the emperor said with a half-smile: "A virtuous wife and a filial son are not too much to ask for. But, Zhu Erlang, think about it for yourself, are you a filial son?"
Zhu Er suddenly became speechless. Compared with Zhang Chen, who had a father who left things alone, his family situation was much more normal. His father was strict but not overbearing, his eldest brother was excellent but not domineering, and his stepmother used to live in a Buddhist temple, but now she is back.
She was pretty good to him, not to mention my grandmother. Although she doted on Zhu Ying, she was always kind to her eldest brother and him.
At most... at most, no one will give him any money... This is really a sad problem.
Regarding the issue of too little monthly money, he just thought about it in his mind, and then whispered: "I am learning to be a loyal minister and a filial son. Isn't this what I want to work hard for?"
The emperor looked up and down Zhu Er, who was obviously a little guilty, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, since you want to learn martial arts, I agree to it. Your eldest brother and Yingying are both good at archery, it is an heirloom in your family.
You can practice martial arts even when you are older. I will choose a master with excellent archery skills and good martial arts to teach you, but one thing is that you have to pay for the tuition yourself!"
Seeing that Zhu Er suddenly opened his mouth so much that he could put an egg in, he looked at Zhang Shou and said with a smile: "This is the inspiration I got from Zhang Qing's original words about borrowing and not reading the book. It's too easy to get."
It is hard to cherish things, so if you want to learn martial arts, of course you have to pay the price yourself. I will tell your grandmother and Yingying not to give you money!"
"As for tuition fees..." The emperor actually winked at Zhang Shou, "Does Zhang Qing know how much his monthly salary is?"
Zhang Shou actually heard Zhu Ying gossip about her second brother's pitiful monthly money, and he immediately added insult to injury: "I remember, it seems to be five guan of money. Now because he has to go to the Imperial Academy to attend classes, the lady specifically asked him to add more."
The five guan of money should be ten guan in total. I am afraid that he will spend it indiscriminately, and it has always been with him. He should have only the gold and silver lucky money from the New Year."
Today's custom is that the royal family will mint a batch of gold and silver coins to reward officials during festivals, and wealthy families will also use their own molds to cast some gold and silver coins and distribute them to young children as lucky money. Therefore, although gold and silver are not
It is not used in daily circulation among the people, but merchants are usually happy to accept these gold and silver coins from noble descendants.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Shoulian had revealed his last bit of knowledge, Zhu Er suddenly wailed in his heart. Sure enough, the next moment he just heard the emperor say: "Well, let's settle on five guans per month.
.With such a high tuition fee, even if it is once every three days, those masters will definitely be enthusiastic and will do their best to teach you. And if you feel sorry for spending money, you should be able to study hard."
Seeing Zhu Er's face turned ashen, Zhang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud with schadenfreude: "Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
However, he immediately saw the emperor looking towards him, with a smile on his face that made him tremble. Sure enough, the emperor then said with a smile: "Don't count on Mingyue, she has higher eyes than
Damn, if she doesn't like you, if I mess up the rules, it will only make you two enemies. But since you said you want to learn to write eight-legged essays, I will help you and give you a teacher."
Zhang Chen was so shocked that his scalp went numb. He wanted to learn to write eight-legged essays, just to see if it was possible to sway Princess Yongping's heart. Now that this was not possible, he was so full that he continued to write that stuff.
ah!
But before he could make a grimace and want to refuse, he heard Zhu Er shout loudly: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
Seeing that these two guys were trying to undermine each other again, Zhang Shou was too lazy to reprimand him this time. He bowed to the emperor and said directly: "Your Majesty, please send two teachers here, one civil and one martial, so that they can sharpen their tempers."
.One is to practice martial arts secondly, but physical fitness is the top priority. The other is to learn craftsmanship secondly, and study classics and history well is the first priority."
"After all, as a Doctor of the Academy of Sciences, I only teach some basic things in Banshan Hall, just to prevent them from being so blind as to make people laugh."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shou said sincerely: "Therefore, I sincerely request the emperor to wait until the end of this year to hold a comprehensive examination in Banshan Hall to thoroughly test everyone. Those who are motivated, have acceptable qualifications, and are good at
Those who are good at mathematics and science, and those who are good at other things... I hope to screen out all kinds of people, and then select teachers accordingly and teach students in accordance with their aptitude."
"If we continue to mix together like this, if there are some talents that have not been discovered, it will be a waste. After all, most of them are still young. Even if they were in trouble for the past ten years, there is still a chance to make up for it."
The emperor did not expect that Zhang Shou would say such words after selecting the last two noble sons with the highest birth status. He could not help but look at Zhang Shou for a moment in surprise, and then smiled and said: "According to what you said,
Then you won’t be their teacher?”
Zhang Shou smiled nonchalantly and said: "I am good at arithmetic, and I have also dabbled in the natural world. I will also teach them about the history of the classics based on what I have read. But the latter is superficial after all. Don't look at the understanding of the supervisors in Banshan Hall.
I seem to be very impressed by it, but in the doctor's hall, there are always people who have some criticisms of this kind of teaching. If they find their own strengths, receive education well, and become talented in the future, they will be better than me just doing this in Banshan Hall.
Teacher, it is much more appropriate."
Seeing that Zhang Chen was stunned and immediately wanted to object, he directly gestured to the person and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that the third and fourth princes are too young after all. At this age,
Sometimes, I take classes together with other supervisors in Banshan Hall who are at least 16 or 17 years old. It’s fine for a short period of time, but over a long period of time, the progress will inevitably be different. Which side should I pay attention to?"
The emperor suddenly clapped his hands gently, and then said with a smile: "I accept what Zhang Qing said. However, Banshan Hall is still there and is still under your control, but according to your previous elective course model, it will be
Classes for large groups of people can be taken separately. As for the problem that the Imperial College does not have so many lecture halls...most of them are rich, and their families may donate money to expand a dozen rooms around the Imperial College."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Shou with a smile: "I heard from Yingying that you asked Lu Sanlang to organize the 'Leshu' scholarship for the supervising students of Banshan Hall, and then use it to reward and support the outstanding students in other six halls.
Even providing a house? It’s a good idea, but we can also include classes. In the future, the classes in Banshan Hall can also be attended by the supervisors from the other six halls of the Imperial College.”
"I believe that your method of teaching according to people and recruiting famous teachers according to people is still effective. If you can't invite famous teachers, let Teacher Ge come forward. If you can't invite them, I will help!"
Isn't this the true essence of the system of dividing classes into classes in later generations of universities, and inviting celebrities to give lectures at every turn?
Zhang Shou immediately smiled, then stood up and saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"
