The north wind was strong all night, and the snow was still falling when I opened the door. Although these two sentences are not good poems, they can indeed describe the current scene in the capital.
Even if the first snow falls and the weather is freezing, most people in the world cannot sleep until they wake up naturally. They have to get up early to make a living or to fight for their future. And for those who have no worries about their livelihood and future, some people still bear the pain and leave.
Under the warm quilt, I struggled to wash myself and dress neatly, and then I walked out the door seemingly refreshed, but in fact I was drowsy.
And among those who get up like this on a cold day, there is Zhang Shou... Of course, Zhu Ying is also indispensable.
Zhang Shou is now used to going to bed early and getting up early. The reason why he can't get up is just because it's cold and the light is late, and he stayed up late last night to finish writing the memorial for the transfer of Jiuzhangtang to a public school outside the city. Today, although he is a doctor of the Imperial Academy
I don't have to go to the morning court, but I plan to rush to the General Affairs Department to deliver this memorial to the general secretary. I will also watch the excitement at Dong'anmen before coming back and take pleasure in seeing the scene in front of me in the snowy weather.
As for Zhu Ying, it was extremely difficult to get up because the eldest lady almost never got up early on weekdays, especially in the cold weather. However, today she had to rush to seek an audience before the matter of the girls' school was settled, and then get rid of this mess.
Princess Yongping grabbed some of them from her hands, so she dressed and had breakfast as if it were a battle.
When she went to Qing'an Hall to do her morning inspection as if going to the market and then went out, the entire Zhu family was shocked. It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning. When had Miss Zhu ever left the house so early?
Miss Zhu, who is very mobile, drove all the way. Taking advantage of the early weather and not many pedestrians on the road, she arrived at Dong'anmen in less than two quarters of an hour. As a result, she happened to see people queuing up to attend the Chang Dynasty from a distance.
The court officials blocked the Dong'an Gate. You know, the system has just been changed this year. For major dynasties such as the Zhengdian and Winter Solstice and the Shuowang dynasty, the left and right gates of Chang'an will be used, but the Chang'an dynasty will use Dong'an Gate.
Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, who were following Zhu Ying, originally thought that the eldest lady was going to ride a horse today, but they were relieved when they finally decided to take a car as soon as they saw the snowy sky. As for Zhu Ying, she opened the curtains and looked outside all the way, not caring about the cold wind.
, that was really a trivial matter. Seeing Zhu Ying waving out of the car window at this time, the two of them just thought they had met a familiar eldest lady from some family.
But they soon discovered that they were wrong, because after Zhu Ying waved, someone suddenly approached on horseback. When the two met each other, they took another look, and who else was there if it wasn't Zhang Shou?
Zhan Jin and Liu Yin thought it was a coincidence. The young couple looked at me and laughed dumbly, but they also thought it was a coincidence. Zhu Ying looked at the court officials who shrank their heads like quails from the cold, and chuckled unkindly.
"It is said that Grandpa Taizu was so kind back then that he pushed the time of the winter morning to Chen Zheng. He was so considerate of me. I think Grandpa Taizu might have been afraid of the cold and wanted to sleep a little longer. God knows how much effort I put in this morning.
I just got up! Think about it, Ah Shou, it’s not easy for you to be a teacher. You have to get up as early as the students every day. No other Guozi doctor has as hard work as you!"
"I have no choice but to set an example." Zhang Shou smiled wryly and shrugged, thinking that there are not so many entertainments these days. If you go to bed early at night and wake up early in the morning, it is not that difficult. But only when you are a teacher, you will feel that teachers are better than students.
It's even more difficult. After all, students have a limited number of years to study, but teachers often have to be a lifelong teacher... Just like him, when will he be a teacher?
The two chatted for a while, watching the court officials starting to file into the palace not far away, and they said goodbye. Zhang Shou planned to go to the Jiuzhang Hall of the Imperial College, and then organized two student representatives to go to the outer city to inspect the lecture halls of the public school.
——With the generous sponsorship from the emperor and Zhu Yingla, the public school occupies a large area and has a wide choice of classrooms. As for Zhu Ying, she naturally hurried into the palace to see the Queen Mother.
However, the two soon discovered that the series of events yesterday had formed an extraordinary storm after a day and night of fermentation.
As soon as Zhang Shou entered the Imperial College, he saw a large number of prison students gathered together, and the crowd was agitated. As someone shouted that the fourth prince was at the Wanping County government office at that time, he said that the prison students of the Imperial College were not as good as the inner library of the Li Prison.
The prison students continued to make noises, but he found that none of the academic officials showed up, not even Xu Heijun, the chief supervisor of the Shengxing Hall who usually maintained order in the Imperial College.
"Young Master," Ah Liu calmly approached Zhang Shou and said softly, "Someone is looking at you. He has malicious intentions."
There are indeed a lot of people looking at him at this moment, and Zhang Shou has long been used to this kind of big scene with thousands of eyes on him, and has long been able to take it easy. However, the current situation is different from the curious onlookers, and it is different from watching the excitement.
The gathering was also different, and it was even different from the scenes he had faced in the past. And the three words Ah Liu said with malicious intent at the end pointed out the risks involved.
Of course Zhang Shou remembered that just a few days ago, because the news that he was going to move Jiuzhangtang out of the Imperial Academy suddenly spread wildly in the Imperial Academy, some people shouted for him to get out of the Imperial Academy. But that time, Lu Sanlang took the lead, and Ji Jiujiu
Afterwards, the two people questioned the leader one after another, leaving the leader in a panic. In the end, Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye had to come out to smooth things over.
Afterwards, Zhu Ying conducted some investigation and found out by mistake that it was someone sent by Si Li Prison's outer office who had caused the trouble, so she went to block the door.
And now, the fourth prince's words that the students of the Imperial College are worse than the outcasts in the inner hall of the Li Jian have spread so quickly. How many times more impact than the original rumor?
Just when Zhang Shou was distracted, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "The fourth prince is just a child. He would say this. Could it be that Dr. Zhang, as a lecturer in the East Palace, teaches the third prince, the future prince, at the same time?"
Is it for the fourth prince? You are also a scholar after all, are you going to collude with a group of eunuchs?"
Seeing a large number of people gathered around him, Zhang Shou smiled and said calmly: "Yesterday, a bad guy who was illiterate and ill-intentioned hit an innocent man and fell into the water. He went into the water to rescue him. Doctor Yan asked.
The people who do these things are me and people from the Zhu family of Duke Zhao’s mansion. What else have you done besides making random noises here?"
Without waiting for anyone to quibble, he suddenly shouted loudly: "You can only use your words to show your advantage, this is the student of the Imperial College? You can only trust others, but don't know how to reflect on yourself, this is the student of the Imperial College? You can only hear hearsay, but you don't know.
Distinguish between right and wrong, are these the supervisors of the Imperial College? Just because you are making a fuss here regardless of your studies, I, as a doctor of the Imperial College, feel ashamed!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice: "At this hour, there are so many people gathered around and making endless noises, but not a single academic officer came out to maintain order. Is it possible that the conduct of the Imperial College is not only corrupted, but also the teachers?
Have they all turned into clay and wood sculptures that are just hanging around?"
At this moment, Ah Liu, who had looked calm just now, was actually tense all over, planning to carry Zhang Shou on his back... no, it was Zhang Shou who was carrying him and run away.
If it weren't for the fact that his face has always been expressionless, he would definitely be smiling out of shape at this moment. Just you guys who are hanging around in the Imperial College, you are the ones who are not even willing to do your job well like teaching and educating people all day long.
An old official, Youzi, a scholar who is trying to figure out how to get promoted, actually wants to play tricks and bicker with my young master?
A bunch of scum!
And Zhang Shou's angry rebuke really made the group of noisy supervisors furious. I don't know who took the lead in rushing forward with a loud shout, but a large number of people rushed forward, and they were planning to kill the gentleman if he failed.
Take action! Faced with such a big battle, Zhang Shou saw Ah Liu taking a step forward, as if he was planning to fight, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to hold down the person's shoulder.
"Ah Liu, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife!"
Just as he was uttering these words, he suddenly heard an extremely angry shout: "How dare you lock Jiuzhangtang and try to imprison us? Do you have a big dream! Junior brothers, follow me.
, let them, this group of rubbish who can’t carry anything with their shoulders and hands, see what it means to be a self-reliant and hard-working hero!”
When Zhang Shou stopped Ah Liu, he just remembered that when he came in through the university archway of the Imperial College, he saw Zhang Chen's family members looking there. He thought that these guys who are always aware of the news must have heard the news and said
Maybe he is hiding somewhere. Anyway, even if someone really comes forward, with this group of scumbags with a force value of only 1 at most, Ah Liu can defeat them all by himself.
But he never expected that before Zhang Chen and others could even see the shadows, Lu Sanlang had already arrived with the reinforcements roaring! Moreover, the little fat man's yelling also revealed a lot of unusual information, such as being raped.
Locked in Jiuzhangtang... Of course, don't listen to the words he casually mentioned to others, such as self-reliance, hard work and hard work!
He only saw the dozens of supervisors rushing towards him, and in an instant, the rear group was in chaos. The chubby Lu Sanlang held a chair in his hand, and he smashed people on sight, with his agility,
It was in stark contrast to his bloated figure. As for the other Jiuzhangtang students behind him, they were not as tough as him, and they all had thick stacks of books in their hands.
Jiuzhangtang's book was extremely cumbersome to print because it had various graphics as demonstrations. Therefore, Lu Sanlang specially ordered the bookshop to use large paper for printing. Compared with ordinary thread-bound books, the book was larger and thicker. At this time, four
With a set of rolls and a hard board covering the outside, it will be as invincible as a big brick when it hits someone!
In addition, he was full of resentment for being locked in Jiuzhangtang, and he suddenly came from behind. Under the leadership of Lu Sanlang who looked like a crazy tiger, a large number of people were simply unstoppable, but in an instant, Zhang Shou
What I saw was the scene of the group of guys who had just been defeated in a quarrel, and now they continue to be defeated after using force.
Ah Liu had long since taken back his steps and retreated behind Zhang Shou. Seeing a group of students defeating the enemy, he felt indifferently as if he were watching a younger generation defeat the enemy, but he muttered in a low voice: "It's really unorganized when fighting."
, I will teach them two moves next time."
"You must take it easy!"
Zhang Shou only felt the muscles on his face twitching twice. Ah Liu's simple and direct technique for beating people. If this little fat man with high fighting ability and other students learned it, God knows what use it would be put to.
-Speaking of which, this little fat man was really bold at first. I think Zhang Chen was frightened when those rebels came from Cui Yunjian, but the little fat man could still calmly cooperate with the acting!
This psychological quality is really... Thinking of this, his heart moved, and he simply whispered a few words to Ah Liu behind him. Ah Liu was still a little resistant at first, but when he saw Zhang Shou turning his head and giving him a stern glance, he had no choice but to obey.
, quietly retreated.
Seeing that the battle situation was one-sided, Zhang Shou could of course hold his hands and watch, as if watching a play, but those who were originally going to watch the play could no longer sit still. Just when Zhang Shou scolded the supervisors, he also swept in all the academic officers.
They could still hold on to the chance of watching Zhang Shou being kicked out of the Imperial Academy by the prison students, or Zhang Shou sending his followers to beat the prison students, so they could not escape.
But now a group of troublemakers have been chased and beaten by Jiuzhangtang students until they cry for their parents. If they don't come out, will they wait for Zhang Shou to lead the Jiuzhangtang people to the doctor's hall directly?
Therefore, Zhou Jijiu took the lead, followed closely by Luo Siye, and a large number of academic officials such as doctoral assistants came out cheering. It was quite a kind of battle in which when there are many people, reason can be achieved, and when there is reason, the voice can be loud.
However, they had just appeared but had not yet established a stable footing, but what they received was a sneer from Zhang Shou.
"Just now, Lu Gaoyuan, the head of the Jiuzhang Hall, said that they were locked in the Jiuzhang Hall. Now that the great Sicheng and the young master Sicheng have arrived late with everyone, could it be that they are also locked in the doctor's hall?
?You have always relied on your status and ignored the affairs of the supervisors that have nothing to do with their studies. However, Inspector Xu from the Shengqi Hall is still missing. Is it possible that he is also trapped in the Shengqi Hall? "
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of a group of academic officers suddenly changed. But at this moment, they heard an extremely familiar voice that they absolutely did not want to hear at this time.
"Dr. Zhang is right. I usually pride myself on following orders, but today I was locked in the Rope Hall! The clerk below kept saying that I was following orders, but I want to ask whose order it was!"
Xu Heizi strode out, his dark face darker than usual at this moment. He directly met Zhou Jijiu and others, and asked mercilessly: "Are you following Da Sicheng's orders? Or are you?
On the orders of Shao Sicheng? Or on the orders of any of the doctor assistants? The Imperial College is a place where sages read books, but now it has become a place where the supervisors make trouble again and again..."
"Ask yourselves, are you worthy of the emperor's hard work in entrusting you with this highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty?"
Previously, he was scolded by Zhang Shou in front of a group of troublemaking supervisors, and now he was scolded by Xu Heijun again. Not to mention Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye, even a group of doctors,
I really can’t bear it at this moment!
Although Xu Hei'an, the eunuch of the Shengxing Hall, may have some authority in front of the supervisors, but in front of serious Jinshi like them, it is really not worth mentioning. At that moment, someone angrily rebuked: "Xu Hei'an,
You are so courageous! You have no way of controlling your subordinates, you have indulged the petty officials who have their own way, you have spoiled a group of lawless students, and now you come to accuse Da Sicheng, Shao Sicheng and us!"
Before he could finish his words, Xu Heijun casually pulled out the hairpin from his hair and took off the black gauze hat on his head. At this moment, the black-faced eunuch, who was obviously just a minor official, had such a look on his back.
He stood straight, just like he used to angrily scold the supervisors.
"Although I, Xu Heijun, am just a civil servant, I have always been studying and abiding by etiquette. I only hope that the Imperial College can return to the past when the sound of books was loud and the teachers and students got along well. Now this is a smoky place full of calculations.
