At home, Song Juren was taking Yang Zhan to visit the workshop, and because of Guan Qiu's words, he took people to see the expensive but temporarily fruitless glass workshop. Zhang Shou ended the day in Jiuzhangtang.
After morning class, an announcement was made.
"The Third Prince has not come to Jiuzhang Hall for several days. You should also know the reason. The Ceremony Ceremony of the Eastern Palace from the Ministry of Rites has been submitted, but because the emperor is not satisfied, it is being revised. But this major event years ago will definitely
It’s done. And because of the third prince’s initiative, the emperor has decided to select someone from Jiuzhang Hall to serve as a student in the East Palace.”
Although Zhang Shou had mentioned such an idea before, and everyone was excited, no one thought that not only could this happen, but that it would also get the emperor's nod in such a short time. In an instant, the huge
There were cheers one after another in the classroom, and even Ji Jiu, who was a little more reserved, couldn't cover up the smile on his face.
What Zhang Shou said next caused an even bigger uproar.
"In order not to delay the progress of everyone including the Third Prince, there are a total of six attendants, and one group will be replaced every month. The top six will be chosen as the Eastern Palace Attendants every month, so you know." Zhang Shou's lips curled up slightly.
With a tick, he revealed a smile that was often commented privately by students as ghostly, "The monthly exam is the selection standard. Of course, the six people in the palace that month are not counted as rankings."
Since all the people who can be admitted to Jiuzhang Hall are the best at arithmetic these days, who can't calculate the selection method mentioned by Zhang Shou? In other words, a group of six people enters the palace, and the remaining six people
The decision will be made in the next monthly exam, and when the previous group of six people return, if the remaining people do not live up to expectations, then it is likely that these two groups of twelve people will always be in rotation!
Others can only see that the threshold of the East Palace is very close, but they can never cross it!
Seeing everyone looking at each other, as if looking for the most threatening person, Zhang Shou said calmly: "Of course, in order to avoid abnormal competition among classmates, if due to illness or injury,
, there is a selected person who cannot enter the palace to study this month, then... haha, he will wait until next month, and if he is not well next month, he will enter the palace to study next month. "
"And the quota he occupied due to injury that month will remain vacant and will not be transferred to the next person. And the quota he occupies for the next month or even the next month will also crowd out the original quota.
Sixth place. Moreover, don’t be too happy too early. Compared with Princess Yongping’s chambermaid Hong Niangzi, who has a higher rank than the prince’s friends, you chamberlains have no actual rank.”
Hearing this, Ji Jiudeng secretly took a breath. In other words, if someone is behind the scenes and causes the person who was originally selected to be unable to attend the palace due to illness or injury, then this month's quota will be cancelled.
If it is empty, it will not be filled again.
And once this person who misses the opportunity recovers from his illness and recovers from his injury, he will squeeze out the quota of others next time and even the next time! In this way, the person who uses tricks will simply steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Attract more people’s resentment!
Although there is no rank in the imperial examination, the opportunity to express oneself in front of the Prince of the East Palace is unprecedented! Not to mention others, even Zhang Chen and others who are always close to Zhang Shou may also envy them.
This opportunity! However, this method of using injuries to force people to make concessions cannot be used. What about secretly forcing others to be merciful during the exam, thereby expiring for oneself?
Ji Jiu, who had long been used to all kinds of crooked ways in the Imperial College, just had such an idea, but only heard Zhang Shou say: "I know that we have always been in harmony with each other as classmates, but with current interests, it is inevitable that some people will take chances. So, today, I
As I said before, if anyone encounters any coercion or inducement, you can tell me directly, as long as you find any such behavior..."
"Expelled from Jiuzhangtang, dismissed from the Imperial Academy, never hired, never tolerated!"
Except when assigning questions, Zhang Shou has always been a very easy-to-talk teacher. When he occasionally found someone copying homework or cheating on an exam, he only warned them and would not punish them at every turn.
This kind of thing has never happened.
Therefore, no one had ever seen such a stern tone from him, so he was naturally silent for a while.
Ji Jiu saw the opportunity quickly and took the lead to stand up solemnly to express his determination. Only then did the others suddenly realize and hurriedly followed. When Zhang Shou announced that get out of class was over, many people were still sitting there without moving, still savoring Zhang Shou's words. .
Zhang Shou, who had just walked out of Jiuzhangtang, saw a person walking quickly outside the door, as fast as a ghost. Of course it would be scary if he met him for the first time, but he had already encountered him.
Having been through this situation many times, I naturally behave calmly at this time.
"Xu Jiancheng, are you just so free? Just come to my place and wander around when you have nothing to do."
Xu Heizi stared at Zhang Shou with his eyes, and there was no expression on his dark face - because his dark face had never changed, it was difficult for ordinary people to see his emotions.
And he didn't show off. After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "News just came from the palace. The emperor asked Princess Yongping to attend the reading. Hong, the daughter of the head of Hongshan of Yuzhang Academy, taught the third prince painting. News.
As soon as the news came over, the doctor's hall exploded, and a lot of people clamored to write letters to remonstrate this matter, but there was no movement in the office of Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng."
That's because Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye knew that even if they were teaching the future prince to paint, it would still be considered a trivial matter in the palace, and there would be no room for foreign ministers to comment. If the emperor was willing, such a thing would not even be formalized.
The news came out. Now the reason for blowing the air first is that the emperor is relieved.
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but of course he couldn't show the expression on his face that I had known for a long time. He immediately smiled and said: "The third prince has always liked painting. Madam Hong is said to have been taught by Tanhua Lang, who is good at painting in Jiangxi, since she was a child.
, teaching the third prince to draw should be just a trivial matter."
Xu Heijun originally wanted to say that men and women are different, but when he thought about how Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying often got together before their engagement was clear, it would be boring to think that he meant to ridicule them, so he changed his mind.
"But people's words are terrible. If the Imperial College doesn't cause trouble, other people in the court will also make trouble. But Dr. Zhang, you and the students of Jiuzhangtang, where will you go after the third prince takes over the East Palace?"
As soon as Zhang Shou heard this, he knew that Xu Heijun had just arrived and hadn't heard the news he had just announced to the students. He didn't know whether it was the palace who deliberately controlled the release of news one by one, or whether it was the Shengqi Hall
Xu Jiancheng had been marginalized for a long time, so other people in the Imperial Academy had known about it for a long time, but they had not been able to get the corresponding information. He just thought about it briefly and readily told the truth about the matter.
Sure enough, when he just explained the selection method for the East Palace Attendant, Xu Heijun's dark face seemed to light up, and he volunteered: "In that case, will Jiuzhang Hall need me to invigilate the exam? I will
We will strictly control the situation and eliminate all fraud."
Zhang Shou immediately laughed. The presence of this black-faced eunuch among the Imperial College supervisors was very weak, but among the many eunuchs, Xu Heijun's presence was extremely strong. Because people would appear elusive and suddenly in a certain place.
Outside the hall, with hawk-like eyes, some students who broke the rules were caught.
Distracting in class, whispering to each other, and peeking at other random books... These are the little distractions that Zhang Shou is most familiar with in class, but Xu Heijun doesn't care. No matter how stubborn he is, he knows that certain things cannot be forbidden.
The Chief Supervisor of the Department of Sustainability is focused on two things: one is absenteeism from class, and the other is cheating in exams.
Therefore, Zhang Shou certainly would not doubt the other party's extraordinary professionalism, and nodded happily: "In that case, I'll trouble you to help Xu Jiancheng. Anyway, you haven't come to my place to invigilate the exam once or twice. You have rich experience, so naturally
It's up to you to scare those students. Although I have said it before, I am afraid that they will be dazzled by the benefits. As for the degree of control, it depends on you, Inspector Xu."
Xu Heijun nodded knowingly, then without saying much, he cupped his hands and turned around to leave. But just a few steps out, he suddenly stopped again, and then said without looking back: "Dr. Zhang didn't
Because the teacher who became the prince abandoned the students of Jiuzhangtang and instead found a way out for them. This is the first time I have seen a teacher like you in the Imperial College in these years."
"Others can only teach and solve doubts, but you have directly solved the future of your students. No wonder your students are praising you as a teacher outside. It has become even more powerful these days. In the bookstore outside, Ge
Almost all the old master’s books have been snatched up, and I heard that there are already countless people who plan to apply for Jiuzhang Hall next year. Don’t worry, I will keep the matter you mentioned a secret first.”
Uh, is it such an exaggeration? Wouldn't it be even more exaggerated if you know the news about the attendant?
Zhang Shou sent away the uninvited Xu Heijun. Thinking about the grand occasion of tens of thousands of people outside pursuing arithmetic, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny. No wonder the four words of "what goes up and what goes down" have always been tried and true from ancient times to the present.
The truth, but it turns out that using a tiger skin as a banner is more effective than anything else.
In the past, the third prince was just an ordinary prince, and applying for the Jiuzhang Hall would only cause a stir. Now that the third prince is about to be promoted to the crown prince, he cannot come to Jiuzhang Hall to study, but he has to be invited to the palace to continue teaching arithmetic, and even
Recruiting students from Jiuzhangtang to serve as the prince's attendants was a temptation that even the sons of officials could not resist.
I don’t know how many people on Lu Sanlang’s side... will be chasing and blocking him when he turns around?
Many preparations for the canonization of the crown prince are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the news in the palace is like a naughty boy throwing pebbles into the water, one after another. First, the emperor ordered Princess Yongping to attend the Hong family to teach the third prince how to draw. This news spread instantly
This suddenly aroused an uproar from a large number of people in the court, and all kinds of petitions piled up like snow flakes in the General Affairs Department.
As a result, the emperor's reaction to this... was to refute it by citing the example of the five sisters of the Song family serving as female bachelors in the palace during the Tang Dynasty. And before the emperor dismissed the court the next day, a certain strong man tried his best to persuade him.
, and even dropped a few words impatiently.
"Hong's family has a long history of studying the Analects of Confucius. The students in Yuzhang Academy are also the best at this section. I originally wanted Hong to teach the Analects to Sanlang, but Sanlang himself felt that there was something wrong with this.
, that’s why I invited her to teach me how to paint.”
"If you object, I will simply continue to follow the preface and let her teach "The Analects of Confucius" and that's it!"
Academician Confucius was so angry that he was chattering, especially when he saw the emperor walking away with a defiant look on his face, and then the officials of Honglu Temple who praised the ceremony hurriedly shouted to withdraw from the court, he couldn't help but think of himself
A legend I've heard before.
It is said that when the emperor first came to power, he also wanted to make an appearance as soon as possible, which almost made the senior officials such as the old ministers of the cabinet angry to death... At that time, he was just a junior who had just been admitted to the Jinshi.
When I heard this rumor, I was just joking with others, but I didn’t expect that I would be able to experience it myself in my lifetime!
The emperor who is about to celebrate his 40th birthday can be so unreasonable!
However, the scholar Confucius, who was almost angry to death, was not the most pitiful. The one who had already planned to give desperate advice found that he was completely ignored by the emperor and was left in the cold wind in front of the Fengtian Palace.
Only then did he feel that he was the most pitiable.
He even desperately thought about whether he should just go all out and wait until the emperor really invited Hong to teach the Analects of Confucius, and then give Fu Que's death remonstrance. But this thought just kept turning in his mind, because he had already thought of it.
What the emperor just said.
It was the third prince who reversed the emperor's will and changed the Hong family who originally taught the Analects of Confucius to teach painting... It seems that the future prince is much more sensible than the current emperor!
However, compared to His Royal Highness the future Crown Prince, who became the incarnation of knowledge and wisdom in the eyes of many officials after the disbandment of the dynasty, Chief Hong Shanna was simply going crazy. His daughter had been summoned to see Princess Yongping before, and came back to tell him that she had met Princess Yongping.
The third prince, the third prince invited her to teach painting, and his mood was extremely complicated.
He felt that painting was just a rudimentary skill. If the Hong family agreed, it would really be an insult to the noble family of the Hong family. Only because the painting skills were inherited from his senior brother, the famous Tanhua Lang in Jiangxi, he tentatively agreed to it.
.
But now, the news came that the emperor originally planned to let his daughter teach the Analects of Confucius to the future prince, but the third prince actually used it to teach painting!
He was also angry that the emperor would rather use the Hong family than ask him to be the master of the East Palace; and he was also angry that the future prince came up with such a clumsy prevarication strategy - even if he thought that a woman from the Hong family was not suitable, he should be considered.
yes!
In a fit of anger, Chief Hong Shan was too lazy to stay in Yashe. In addition, he and Chief Yue Shan couldn't get along with each other at all. He simply went out for a walk that day, but he regretted it not long after going out. Because everyone was talking about the new thing from all directions.
The first Donggong teacher (majoring in painting) was released, and he almost wanted to turn around and go back to Yashe.
However, he didn't want to go back and see the faces of Chief Yue Shan and others, and reprimanding a virtuous and virtuous daughter showed that he, as a father, was very immodest, so he simply walked angrily to a less crowded place until he found the road ahead.
Suddenly there was a crowd of people again, and his face darkened just now, and then he saw the words Sansan Bookstore. The next moment, he heard a voice that almost made him breathless: "Master Lu San, please teach me your experience in arithmetic."
Well, we also want to take the Jiuzhangtang exam next year!"
