Chapter six hundred and twenty second determination
The third prince is a sincere child, but not a sincere gentleman. The reason why he is not a gentleman is because he is still young and has not performed the crowning ceremony. Naturally, he cannot be called a gentleman. Of course, his crowning ceremony is due to the emperor's insistence.
It's almost there. But secondly... that's because although he has been taught the principles of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness since he was a child, and looks gentle and honest, he was taught by the emperor himself!
Will the son brought up by the emperor's words and deeds be a gentleman? After hearing Zhang Shou's words, his first reaction was to cut the culprit into pieces, preferably with Lingchi's execution! He already deserved death.
, and actually implicated Fourth Brother and Zhang Shou!
"In three days, there will be a grand ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince. Before that, there may only be thousands of eyes staring at you, but after that, there will be eyes all over the world staring at you. So, you must not say to me,
You want to try this case yourself."
Having said this, Zhang Shou paused for a moment. When he saw the third prince staring at him in astonishment, and then turned away in embarrassment, he knew that he had guessed correctly. Although the third prince was shy and honest in the past, now that he has accepted the upcoming
For the matter of entering the East Palace, it was better to be so close to the fourth prince. Seeing that his younger brother was being plotted in this way, it was strange that the third prince could still bear it.
"As the prince, what you should do is to know people and do their job well, rather than doing everything yourself. Besides, the emperor is probably more angry than you at the moment. In this case, don't you think you have more important things to do?
Do it? For example, go back to the palace to see the emperor?"
When the third prince followed Zhang Shou and reappeared in front of people, Lu Sanlang, like everyone else, couldn't help but look at the person carefully from head to toe, but all he saw was Ren Ren and Zhang Shouyan, who were all smiling, and there was no trace of him at all.
Any vision. Thinking of the time when this little prince appeared in the Banshan Hall of the Imperial Academy, and later when he was admitted to the Jiuzhang Hall, he couldn't help but feel that it seemed like a long time ago.
Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan were naturally even more satisfied when they saw that the third prince was thoughtful, courteous, humble and gentle. They had already spoken highly of the future prince because of what happened today. They acted as guides and led the third prince throughout the palace.
After walking around the school and once again focusing on the classrooms prepared for Jiuzhang Hall, Lu Wan stopped.
"Since those academic officials in the Imperial College are short-sighted and cannot tolerate the anomaly of Jiuzhangtang, the public school welcomes it extremely. You know, the teachers in the public school have meager income, and the scholars are teachers, either for money or fame, but in
The public school may not have both, so it is naturally unwilling to apply. However, if Jiuzhang Hall is moved here, the public school will not have to worry about teachers, and you will not have to worry about your livelihood."
"The dormitory for accommodation is ready, and the part-time job is also ready, not to mention that you don't have to travel to and from the city and outside the city. The only hard thing is probably Dr. Zhang, who has to go from your Zhangyuan to this outside the city.
The journey back and forth is no small matter."
When Lu Wan said this, everyone immediately turned to look at Zhang Shou. However, before Zhang Shou could answer, Lu Sanlang rushed to say: "It is indeed a big deal to go back and forth every day, plus there will be more in Jiuzhangtang in the future.
The students cannot all rely on the teacher to be in charge. Even in the private academies of the Imperial College, teachers do not give lectures every day. Most of the time, students study on their own and learn from each other."
"For example, since I am progressing quickly, of course I can take over the class, and so can others. By the way, I still remember that the teacher mentioned that after everyone studied on their own, Zheng Rong could also take over the class... It's a pity that it won't happen in the future. Opportunity!"
Hearing that Lu Sanlang still called him by his first name, the third prince immediately remembered Zhang Shou's original assignment, and felt even more sad for a moment.
When he heard Zhang Shou coughing next to him, he immediately adjusted his mood. He immediately smiled and said: "It can't be said that there is no chance. If everyone studies diligently and attends the East Palace, I will not have the chance to replace the teacher. Let me give you a lecture!"
As soon as these words came out, some of the surrounding students suddenly laughed. And those senior brothers who had been classmates with Lu Sanlang but missed the opportunity to be classmates with the Third Prince, when they saw the future prince being so humble, they felt... Like a spring breeze.
After the cough, Zhang Shou saw that the third prince was chatting and laughing with people in a warm manner. His words and deeds no longer showed the shyness he once had, and his natural demeanor in his dealings with others could gradually be seen. Although others said that he single-handedly taught people to be like this. However, he also knew that it was more a result of the environment than his contribution.
In the midst of joking, the topic gradually turned to the farce in the Imperial College today. The third prince suddenly let out a startled cry and said quickly: "I remembered, I purposely walked through Zhengyangmen when I left the city. When I passed by Qipan Street, I heard that It is said that some supervisors of Banshan Hall tried to knock on the drums and drums, but were stopped by the fourth brother. After scolding them, they were asked to write a memorial on the spot and ask someone to submit it to the emperor."
"The fourth brother left without asking why, but I heard that what they were reporting was that someone was causing trouble in the Imperial College... I hurried out of the city to look for the fourth brother at that time, and there was no one on Qipan Street, so I didn't care. Let me ask you carefully. Is it possible that Jiuzhang Hall was locked up this morning and you were almost imprisoned? The same was true for Banshan Hall? People from Banshan Hall almost went to beat the drums because of this incident?"
"That's right!" Lu Sanlang slapped his thigh hard and said angrily, "When I rushed out with everyone this morning, I found that all the halls were in chaos, but no one came out. Let's go. When we came out, the guy said something and said that some supervisors were making trouble up front and were besieging the teacher. I got angry and rushed out with a chair!"
Lu Wan immediately chuckled to himself. This damn little fat man has been advocating that gentlemen fight wits instead of strength since he was a child. Now he is angry and using force for Zhang Shou. He doesn't know who he raised this son for!
Today, a series of events were overwhelming. It was not until Lu Sanlang mentioned it that Zhang Shoufang thought of the question of who opened the door of Jiuzhang Hall at that time. He immediately asked: "Who let you out?"
"Who is it...teacher, you don't know?" Lu Sanlang's eyes widened, and then he laughed and said, "Of course it's Zhang Chen! He is also a prison student after all, and hanging around the Imperial College, that's quite normal, isn't it? I don’t know why people don’t come to see the teacher.”
Knowing that it was indeed Zhang Chen, Zhang Shou not only did not clear up his doubts, but became even more confused. He had done such a great thing at a critical moment, so why did Zhang Chen hide and not show up? Why are you pretending to be mysterious? By the way, there is Banshan Hall. The students are so passionate...
After he was divided into classes at Banshan Hall, he went to Cangzhou. Later, since there were already academic officers there to teach, he stopped caring about that place after he came back. In his opinion, for those noble sons and daughters of officials, , as time went by, I, as a teacher, gradually faded away. But who would have thought that someone would take the lead in knocking on the que, and almost beat the drum!
Zhang Shouzheng was reflecting on whether he had neglected his former students too much, but Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Teachers are the ones who preach, impart knowledge and solve doubts. It's a pity that in official schools, the number of teachers who remember these words now is getting worse."
They come less and less.”
"So, Dr. Zhang, you treat people with sincerity, so the students will respect you so much. Because the academic officials they met in the past were just officials at all, and they had no sense of being teachers at all!"
"Precisely because they only care about their own official career, official schools in various places have become worse and worse in recent years, and they have become useless!"
Liu Zhiyuan's statement naturally won the approval of Lu Wan - how could he disagree? If the official schools were very good, the academic officials were very conscientious, and the social studies, volunteer studies, etc. were all done perfectly, how could it be that the public schools were open at the beginning?
Are there a lot of applicants?
The third prince just stayed here because he was also a member of Jiuzhangtang, but neither Zhang Shou nor Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan would leave him here for too long.
The longer the future prince stays in a place where dragons and snakes are mixed like the outer city, the more variables there will be. Even if Zhu Tingfang, who is in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department, should have received the news and be on guard at this time, the risk still exists.
Therefore, seeing that it was already getting late, Zhang Shou directly urged the third prince to return to the palace. Compared to the fourth prince who was accustomed to bargaining or wrangling, the third prince, as an elder brother, just looked around, as if to take this place.
He took in all the public schools he had no chance to study in, remembered them in his heart, and then smiled gently at everyone.
"Then I will go back to the palace. Dear classmates..." He raised his hands gently and saluted, and said word by word, "See you tomorrow."
When we meet again tomorrow... I will call you His Royal Highness! Lu Sanlang had a hard time swallowing these words.
After all, if there is no father and no old man Liu here, he can certainly make some good-natured jokes with other students. Zhang Shou might also join in. With the character of the third prince, he will definitely not care.
Yes. But now it is not possible.
Therefore, he just hesitated slightly, clasped his hands, and then stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying with a double meaning: "I wish your highness a safe journey." This journey refers to both this trip and the future life of the third prince.
Safety.
Lu Sanlang, who was jokingly calling the third prince and the fourth prince by their names just now, took the lead. The others looked at each other and finally bowed to say goodbye. Faced with such a scene, the third prince felt a little sad at first.
It was as if something precious had vanished into nothing, but when he saw Zhang Shou and Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan raising their hands to say goodbye, he came to his senses.
After promising his father to be the crown prince, he and his fourth brother were no longer the same, let alone others?
After thinking about this, he finally responded with a sincere smile: "Teacher, Lu Jijiu, Mr. Liu, Senior Brother Lu and fellow senior brothers and classmates, I will take my leave now! A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I will try my best!"
Seeing that the third prince walked quickly and the wind was blowing under his feet, Lu Wan felt sad and suppressed the urge to announce that the future prince had been here - anyway, there were so many people present, so this kind of thing would be known to everyone without publicity -
Then he asked thoughtfully: "The two incidents caused such a big fuss yesterday and today. The evil man who knocked someone into the water was thrown into the Wanping County Government, but where is the Imperial College?"
"It all depends on how ruthlessly the emperor plans to use the Imperial Academy."
Liu Zhiyuan didn't care that there were many students from Jiuzhangtang around at this time, and talked about murderous topics in an understated manner, showing the true character of the former Liu Zhiyuan: "If the emperor really replaces a group of old people, the academic officials will be deposed.
If he falls and the prison student retires, then the Imperial College can still be saved, otherwise... the serious illness will be difficult to cure!"
When the old man Liu Zhiyuan, who was going crazy as a teenager, had already concluded that the Imperial College was the only solution, the emperor went straight to the Qingning Palace. The first thing he saw when he saw the Queen Mother was not to talk about such trivial things as the four princes asking for forgiveness -
-Although he was very angry and anxious when he first heard about it - but he cursed loudly: "The Imperial College is already a rotten peach, it is hopeless!"
The Queen Mother, who knew her son best, knew that the emperor's angrily coming in was not to ask for punishment. At this time, when she saw someone, she opened her mouth and cursed the Imperial College. Having heard about what happened on Qipan Street, she said: "I know what you are most interested in."
We admire the founder of the country, but the Taizu drove out the Tartars and restored the world, and for a time he broke through the disease with great drastic measures, so that the world took on a new look."
"But now that a hundred years have passed, there are more than a few stubborn diseases in the world. If you want to be the master of ZTE, you can only cut the flesh bit by bit and avoid bleeding with a big knife. You just touched the Guanglu Temple and the Imperial Kitchen. If you want to touch the Imperial College next, you
You have to control yourself and stop operating in other places... not even Qintian Prison!"
"Don't think that Qin Tian Jian's corpse can't even calculate the celestial calendar accurately... They are all craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation. If the students of Jiuzhang Hall want to replace them, it will take at least ten or eight years! You recruit
The same goes for those astronomical talents!"
After the Empress Dowager said this earnestly, the emperor had no place to vent his anger, so he simply walked back and forth in the Qingning Palace. This was a habit he had often had in the past. Now that he has been on the throne for many years and has many children, he has gradually become more and more angry.
There was no time to show immaturity in front of his mother, but today he really didn't want to endure it.
After wandering around like this for a while, he slowly exhaled and said calmly: "The crown prince is about to be crowned, but troubles are happening outside one after another, one is against the Chief of Ceremonies, and the other is against Zhang Shou. In addition, last year Zhao Guogong
In the turmoil after Zhu Jing went on the expedition, I really doubted whether someone had evil intentions!"
The Queen Mother frowned upon hearing this, and the words that followed the Emperor made her even more furious.
"I suspect that Concubine Jing is still resentful..."
"Absurd!" Before the emperor could finish speaking, the Queen Mother became furious, "She does have countless bad things, but now her family is in decline, and none of her relatives can be singled out for success. I had previously issued an edict to abolish it.
Later, no one even said a fair word to her as the queen, even when you kicked Da Lang and Er Lang out of the capital, no one said anything!"
"The three of them, mother and son, are already in extreme desolation. How can they instruct people to do such a big thing? Who will listen to them?"
The emperor was so embarrassed by the Empress Dowager's remarks. Fortunately, the palace was full of people and no servants were left. He was not afraid of embarrassment and simply sat down under the Empress Dowager and said with an annoyed look on his face: "Who else is Kong?
Although the fourth child pretended to be enterprising, and immediately after chasing away old man Jiang, he started to act calmly, but he is not that stupid!"
"A Wu is just a yes man. Zhang Yu is still junior, so no matter how much trouble he makes, it won't be his turn. Apart from these three pavilion elders, the six ministers have their own desires, but they should not have such conspiracy... They can't do anything.
The ghosts of common people are still lingering..." At this point, he shut up without the Queen Mother yelling angrily, and after a long time he punched the armrest with hatred.
"I only have two sons left, and we must not be led astray again! Queen Mother, I have made up my mind. Although the third wife and the third young master of the East Palace are both important ministers in the court, I will never let them interfere with Saburo.
I have already selected the lecturers for my studies. They will be given one round every five days. I will never appoint one person exclusively, so that Sanlang can keep a distance from them! Anyway, Zhang Shou... Although he is busy, he can always do it when he enters the palace every other day!"
