The few people who had just gone out to report the news were tiptoeing back to their seats. They only had time to hear Zhang Shou say how the third class was going. Before they even landed on the chair, they heard the words "military drill" at the end. They
Just when I was a little confused, I suddenly felt that all the eyes around me turned to me in an instant.
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Although they were late for going out during class, why did they seem to be the target of public criticism for just such a short period of time? Dr. Zhang Shou is usually said to be strict, but at least he is not like Sheng Chou.
Hall Xu Heizi is difficult to deal with... Could it be because the matter they just inquired about involves Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing?
Seeing that the latecomers were still confused, Zhang Shou said with a half-smile: "Deputy Chief, please get up and tell them about the upcoming division of classes in Banshan Hall."
Zhu Er felt proud and proud. He looked down at those people with a condescending look, and then slowly repeated Zhang Shou's original words one by one. Of course, his memory was not that good, and he could not repeat it word for word, so he could only
He gave a general description, but he added some details based on his own understanding, fully praising good scholars and talented people, and belittling speculators.
Even so, except for one of those people whose grades were always acceptable, the rest of them had pale faces. In the past, they really felt that coming to the Imperial College every day to hang around was just a waste of time, and they wished they could continue fighting cocks and walking dogs as rich idlers, but
With the emperor often paying attention to this place, it would be a very bad thing to withdraw from Banshan Hall.
Because even their fathers and elders will never spare them! Moreover, what does Zhang Shou mean by military drills?
Soon, Zhang Shou gave a very clear explanation: "Since you can't do it with words, you can't do it with force. Drilling in the army is an opportunity given by the emperor to the remaining people. Of course, those who don't want to go don't have to go.
If you go, you don’t have to stay in the Imperial College. It’s okay to go home rich and comfortable. Whether it’s studying or practicing, this has never been compulsory.”
Although Zhang Shou said so, everyone can imagine the end of being driven home. At this moment, no one knows how many people envy Zhang Chen who just happened to "fall off his horse and recuperate", as well as Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and Zhang Lu who were working outside
Hu Kai and Zou Mingyu. So, in the face of this urgent pressure, someone suddenly complained.
"There are still homework for the previous monthly and annual exams. Who knows if there is something fishy about the so-called results?"
This person was still expecting someone to jump out and question him. However, as soon as he spoke, he found that there was no support at all. On the contrary, everyone around him looked at him like an idiot. In an instant, he realized that Zhang
Shou has the support of the emperor, and now Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing is back, and the marriage of Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying has been decided. This Dr. Guozi, who was already difficult to deal with, is simply impossible to deal with!
He immediately trembled, stood up in a hurry, saluted and apologized: "Teacher, I was just in a hurry and said casually... But if Banshan Hall really wants to separate classes, please give everyone another chance and take the exam again!"
This kind of request would have been unthinkable in the past. But at this moment, more than half of the people hurriedly stood up to help and requested to be assessed during the class placement. As for whether they can get a good grade...
Compared with being kicked out of the Imperial Academy, it would be miserable to go to the army and be drilled to death, and even the army would not accept him when he returned. This is all a thing for another time!
The few guys who took advantage of others to find out the information were once again attacked by the daggers. Although Zhang Shou kept saying that the emperor had made up his mind, everyone felt that if it weren't for these unscrupulous guys, this so-called
The division into classes might be delayed for a while longer.
When the next class was over, as soon as Zhang Shougang went out, he noticed that the huge place behind him exploded instantly, making it as noisy as a vegetable market. Knowing this, he did not look back, secretly thinking that this would be very important to Zhu
Secondly, it is also a huge test.
If he could not enter the first hall as the acting head of the restaurant, he believed that Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing would let Zhu Er eat it directly!
During lunch breaks in the past, Zhang Shou didn't like to go to the doctor's hall very much. He almost always went back to his dormitory to rest, and he mostly ate lunch there. Most of the time, Duke Zhao's mansion sent a sumptuous lunch in an insulated food box.
At that time, Ah Liu personally went to nearby restaurants and taverns to buy things, and Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang and others would often shamelessly come over to share the meal, which was called the teacher-student fun together.
But today, Zhang Shou informed Lu Sanlang in advance and went straight to the doctor's hall. As soon as he entered the door, he found that all kinds of eyes were focused on him. In this regard, he just pretended not to notice and went straight
I returned to my own table.
As soon as he sat down, the curtain was lifted up, and soon after, the smiling Zhou Jijiu and the gloomy-looking Luo Siye came out one after another. The former always looked so talkative,
The latter's look at Zhang Shou was much more complicated.
"Dr. Zhang, I heard that you announced at Banshan Hall today that you will divide Banshan Hall into three?"
Zhou Jijiu, as the top leader of the Imperial College, the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty, is naturally not suitable to rush to the front in everything. However, Luo Siye got straight to the point. He asked a question and said bluntly without waiting for Zhang Shou's answer: "The Imperial College is only a small place in total.
Banshan Hall is still the largest, but if it is divided into three, the Imperial College will not be able to make room for you."
This was something that was just announced in class. Now after class, he came to the doctor's hall as soon as possible. But not only Luo Siye asked directly, but other people in the doctor's hall also had expressions of inquiry on their faces. How could Zhang Shou still not
I know that someone may have heard the news outside the Banshan Hall before, so I have already informed the academic officials here.
Faced with this situation, he said calmly: "The classrooms used for lectures in the Imperial College have always been insufficient. I heard that recently because there are too many diligent and eager-to-learn proctors, they are promoted too quickly, and Suixing Hall is too cramped.
You can hardly sit down anymore?"
Yang Yiming, the Guozi doctor who was in charge of Suixingtang, had always disliked Zhang Shou the most among all the doctors, so he snorted heavily.
"Shuixing Hall is the first of the six halls of the Imperial College, with more than 200 people, but they can only sleep in a classroom half the size of Banshan Hall. Not to mention that there are no desks, and even the bench can only be shared by three people!
From the beginning of the Kingdom to the present, the number of our imperial eunuchs has increased several times. Since your Banshan Hall is going to be divided into separate halls, my Suixing Hall should also be rebuilt. Otherwise, wouldn’t this first hall of the Imperial Academy be in vain?”
"Why bother rebuilding it? Isn't there a ready-made solution?"
Zhang Shou laughed and said nonchalantly: "Then swap the locations of Banshan Hall and Suixing Hall, and swap the two plaques. Wouldn't it be able to accommodate them?"
Yang Yiming was shocked and angry at the same time. He shouted: "This is ridiculous! You can't even think about taking advantage of me!"
"Dr. Yang, you said it yourself, Suh-hsing Hall is too small to accommodate more than 200 people. I just give you a suggestion. Besides, don't take advantage of Suh-hsing Hall. All the lecture halls in the Imperial College were built during the reign of Emperor Taizu.
Although it was built on the same building, Banshan Hall occupies a larger and more open area. It is switched with Suixing Hall, so that the best use of everything can be achieved.”
Before Yang Yiming could refute, he said nonchalantly: "Since you don't want to, you must ask the court to allocate huge sums of money to build a new Suixing Hall. If you like the new and dislike the old, then I have nothing to say."
This time, not to mention Yang Yiming, even the others couldn't help but have veins twitching on their foreheads. I have long known that Zhang Shou is very good at criticizing others, but now it seems that this is really true!
However, Zhang Shou's fallacy still sounds like the same thing, because although the Imperial Academy can adjust the classroom, Yang Yiming insists on refusing and insists on requesting funding from the court, which is easily refuted by the Ministry of Revenue. Not to mention
It is said that the current Minister of Hubu is still Zhang Shou’s senior brother, Chen Shang, another proud disciple of Ge Yong!
Compared with others, Yang Yiming was even more shocked and angry. He was so angry that he couldn't stop talking: "Shuixing Hall is the first of the six halls of the Imperial College, how can it be compared with Banshan Hall! A place that has been occupied by such a group of dandy bastards
, I don’t even want to give it to me!”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had made a huge mistake. It was okay to talk about this kind of words in private when complaining to others, but in this doctoral hall full of academic officials, it was an absolute taboo! Except for Zhang
Besides Shou, there are others here who are also competing with him, and there are others who have grudges against him. If these words spread, the elders who supervise students in Banshan Hall will never sit idly by!
He hurriedly changed his words and said: "I mean, Banshan Hall has always been a place for junior students to study..."
"Dr. Yang, you don't need to say anything!" Zhou Jijiu originally just hoped that everyone below would ask Zhang Shou's intention. Unexpectedly, Luo Siye's question was answered by Zhang Shou's rhetorical question, followed by Yang Yiming again.
Got it.
He wanted to calm down the matter and said with a serious face: "Dr. Yang, as a human teacher, how can you speak so biasedly? Not to mention that the academic style of Banshan Hall under the supervision of Dr. Zhang is very good now, even in the past, it was also part of the Imperial College! As for the late graduates,
Who didn’t start studying at the end of their studies? Since Banshan Hall is much larger than Xingtang Hall, what Dr. Zhang said is a good idea.”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Shou and said, "Dr. Zhang, I am not good at this matter. I will make it clear to the court first."
"Da Sicheng is right, the Imperial College is an important place in the academy, so naturally you should ask for orders before proceeding."
Zhang Shou had no intention of continuing to compete with Yang Yiming, nor did he have any intention of bargaining with Zhou Jijiu. He accepted the proposal in good faith. However, it was obvious that some people did not want to see him achieve his goal so easily.
"I heard that Dr. Zhang wants to divide Banshan Hall into three classrooms. Even if Suixing Hall and Banshan Hall are interchanged, there will only be one classroom, right? You can't divide the small place of Suixing Hall into three parts.
Can the supervising students endure it?"
"That's my business." Zhang Shou smiled at the questioner, but inexplicably did not make it clear. He Shi Shiran stood up, gave Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye a little hand, and it turned out to be
Go straight out the door.
As soon as he left the house, Yang Yiming suddenly became angry and cursed: "That's so arrogant! A lucky man with no fame or family background, who just got into the Imperial College through nepotism, is still putting on airs in front of us seniors in the examination room!"
Although there were many academic officers who had similar feelings to him among the crowd, no one agreed with his words. In such an unspeakable silence, I found that Zhou Jijiu glanced at him and turned around, while Luo Siye
Then he sighed, Yang Yiming gradually turned pale, and realized that he had said the wrong thing again.
Zhang Shou will now definitely become the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhao. This is true, but he was able to become a doctor of the imperial family before because the emperor rewarded him for his merits in catching thieves. After that, he was promoted for the second time because of his merits in cracking the secret letter. This
One after the other really cannot have anything to do with nepotism. If you want to force it, of course it is not impossible. After all, the emperor and Zhao Guogong are cousins.
But in this way, he became a rebellious maniac who criticized the emperor behind his back!
How Yang Yiming turned pale and worried that he would lose his hard-earned doctorate of Guozi for thirty years of hard study for thirty years because of saying the wrong thing, that was naturally not Zhang Shou's consideration. Even what others would say about him behind his back, he
He doesn't care either. He has long passed the age of getting angry because of a few criticisms from others... although he doesn't look very old now.
He cared more about actual interests rather than such verbal disputes. Therefore, when he returned to his dormitory and saw Lu Sanlang and Zhu Er at the door making sarcastic remarks, he just coughed heavily.
He made a sound, and it was not until the two people who had recovered their senses hurried forward to greet them that he said with a smile: "Let the news go out, I want Suixing Hall and Banshan Hall to change places."
What does this mean?
Lu Sanlang and Zhu Er couldn't help but forget about the confrontation and looked at each other for a moment. When Zhang Shou gave a brief explanation, Lu Sanlang was fine, but Zhu Er completely forgot that he was still hungry at this time and was waiting to enter the room to rub his sister Zhu.
Ying sent someone to give Zhang Shou lunch and ran out in a flash. As soon as he left, Lu Sanlang suddenly became long-faced.
"Young sir, are you too biased? Why should you give such a good thing to Banshan Hall? The supervisors in Jiuzhang Hall are much better than those guys in Banshan Hall! Except for those in Banshan Hall who really don't want to hang around and wait to die, there are no other
Most people just restrain themselves a little for the sake of your favor, but they are just rich and idle people at heart!"
"I know, that's why I plan to eliminate them, put the suitable people in the first class, put those who are talented but not suitable for studying in the second class, and put those who are diligent and determined to change their destiny but not talented in the third class
Tang, throw the rest out. If they can withstand the hardships and experience in the army, then it will be a surprise, and the rest will be left to fend for themselves."
Lu Sanlang was not surprised that Zhang Shou's behavior was inconsistent with his usual behavior and was obviously a bit cold. Because when Zhang Shou took that physics class in Jiuzhangtang, he occasionally mentioned the phrase "natural selection" and "survival of the fittest". He was originally
Feeling that there is no need to waste time on some mediocre and lazy people, I naturally nodded at this time.
When he followed Zhang Shou into the dormitory, he found that the common food box from Zhao Guogong's house was missing. He was immediately puzzled. Could it be that as soon as Zhu Jing came back, the two families got engaged, so they had to avoid suspicion? Just when he was thinking so,
But all he heard was Zhang Shou say something he didn't expect: "Lu Zhu, are you interested in doing something that others would call deviant?"
