Chapter six hundred and seventieth one after another
Although many prison students hoped that the ranking list for the East Palace Attendant Selection would not spread because it was too embarrassing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Imperial College in person and publicly reprimanded the restless teachers and students. After hearing the news, many people came to watch the excitement.
He said such powerful words in front of the scholar, and for a while, countless places in the capital were discussing this matter.
Apart from the hotly debated topic of ranking, the biggest topic is what His Highness the Crown Prince said.
Encourage people not to think about the attendants of the East Palace, but to focus on the correct path of the imperial examination. This is the central meaning that most officials think the third prince wants to express. However, none of the senior officials with higher levels and longer-term vision have
It would be so simple to see it, including the Confucian scholar, from the examination questions stated by the third prince in the future for selecting the attendants of the East Palace, they can see their determination to be eclectic.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only encouraged most of the people not to regard the attendants of the East Palace as those who are near the water, and then go to fight for a way out with a group of supervisors, but he also warned the supervisors that the attendants of the East Palace do not need only people who are good at craftsmanship and writing. It sounds like
It seems that the attendants of the East Palace are more interested in miscellaneous studies. In this way, they are perfectly distinguished from the Jinshi who came from the imperial examination.
This is certainly a somewhat alarming sign, but the problem is that the attendants of the East Palace have no rank, and they are not lifelong. Now they are rotated for three months, and firstly, they do not need money from the court, and secondly, they do not need anyone from the court to help select them.
——Prince Jiangdu and Chang Shi Xu Heigu, two idlers in the eyes of the court officials, are not included in this count—what else can they say?
As for the fact that under this wave of turmoil, many supervisors in the Imperial College ended their studies and left prison in a panic, and then went to the Ministry of Personnel to wait for selection, that is another matter.
In one day, it is said that the Imperial College approved the departure of more than 600 prison students. This is probably another strange phenomenon after those who were previously qualified to enter the prison rushed to the Imperial College.
Under such a turmoil, the first public class held by Jiuzhangtang after it moved from the Imperial College to the public school seemed to be much quieter, because all people's attention was attracted by the turmoil in the Imperial College.
But this small movement is just that this public lecture has fallen off the list of hot topics in the public. Among the astronomy and mathematics talents who were called to Beijing this time, among the candidates who went to Beijing to take the exam, especially the three
Among the celebrities who went to Beijing after the mountain chief became the minister of the East Palace, this matter still has a great priority. I don’t know how many people are gearing up and preparing to register invitations to have a look.
Especially those who had the qualification to see the "automatic boat" at the Wenhua Hall Sutra Banquet were very curious about what kind of thing Zhang Shou would bring out this time. So, on the day when the public school registered its name, birthplace, and place of origin, two hundred invitations were distributed
, it was snatched away in a moment.
Therefore, early on the morning of the open class, the huge public school in the outer city received the strictest protection. Zhu Tingfang directly sent two-thirds of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Department without reservation.
The nets were cast all over the outer city, and all kinds of suspicious people were immediately arrested when they were caught. Meanwhile, the Ding family generals of Zhao Guogong's mansion were roaming around the public school in case of emergencies.
Those who are really responsible for maintaining order at the scene, apart from the remaining one-third of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, are the imperial attendants led by Hua Qi, who has just taken office.
The Imperial Attendant No. 560, who had gone from official to apprentice, entered the public school with an invitation card that looked exactly the same as the others. Like colored sand mixed in the desert, his eyes were all watching the flow of people around him with vigilance. Thinking of Hua Qi in the morning
After all these words, many people felt a vague sense of superiority. After all, many scholars have never received the invitation today.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come in person today with many lecturers. This is a rare event. If it is just for defense, then you don't need this invitation letter at all. However, because the imperial servants are never illiterate.
You are competent, so you can attend classes together with many scholars including His Royal Highness!"
"Because you may understand it better than some scholars!"
Eunuchs were not allowed to be literate, and their status was firmly stuck in the most humble group, so they would not exercise power. This was the inherent understanding of some emperors when they set the rules in the palace after they thought they had fully learned the lessons of the previous dynasty.
However, the literacy rate of high-level eunuchs tends to increase with the continuation of a dynasty - of course, a certain braided dynasty that set the world back in history with a universal literacy rate is not within this range. Besides, people who are not very literate or have poor culture
Among high-ranking eunuchs, weirdos like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian also appeared, which shows that the emperor's reliance on eunuchs has nothing to do with literacy.
Therefore, when Emperor Taizu formulated the rules in the early years of this dynasty, he only strictly limited the number of eunuchs and their grades. As for those who left the palace, none of them were required, and they were all sent to the fields in Liaodong. However, he did not restrict the eunuchs' literacy.
On the contrary, with the promotion of Wang An, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the literacy rate of even the green-robed servants in the Outer Imperial City was quite high.
As for the imperial servants, they naturally read more books than ordinary servants, and many of them can even recite one or two paragraphs of various classics and histories. Most of the people who teach them these are Fengyu who has retired from the palace as the ceremonial supervisor.
It changes every month, hoping to teach them to remember the word "loyalty". Not only do they memorize a lot of books, but they also memorize a lot of miscellaneous books, such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which even scholars outside the palace don't learn much, and they have also memorized a few paragraphs.
Of course, it’s just memorization. If your academic qualifications are really that good, then of course you won’t take the road of fighting and killing as a royal servant. Memorize two paragraphs and pretend to know a little bit about arithmetic. When going on a mission,
It has quite a confusing effect.
After all, sometimes when they go out, it is to intercept certain important account books. If they get something but cannot understand it, how can they complete the task if they lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds?
At this moment, they were mixed in the crowd and were wary of those who might have evil intentions. They wore scarves to cover the changes in their Adam's apple, and they even used falsetto to discuss certain academic issues with others. A certain royal servant was nearby.
When Juzi mentioned that the demonstration in the Wenhua Palace was simply a magic trick, he snorted contemptuously.
Seeing people looking at him angrily, he sneered disdainfully: "Back when Academician Zhang was in the Wenhua Palace, he completely refuted a certain academician who said that this was a witchcraft. I didn't expect that there would be someone like you today.
Ignorant people sneaked in and ruined this invitation!"
After scolding, the young imperial attendant actually mentioned some principles that Zhang Shou had once talked about in public - the principle of automatic boat sailing that time. Of course, Zhang Shou explained it to the third prince in detail, and the third prince replied.
When they arrived at the Palace of Qianqing, they told the emperor the whole story, and the emperor ordered someone to record it, and the Supervisor of Ceremonies also had corresponding backups.
At that time, Chu Kuan, who had not yet been "expelled" to Ciqing Palace to serve the prince's pen and ink, gave this notebook, together with various old and new works of Zhang Shou bought at Lu Sanlang's bookshop, to the imperial attendants.
Copy. They would also take a look at it during their daily practice breaks, treating it as a leisure activity outside of training. Although they all had a grimace when they looked at it.
It is impossible to teach oneself to understand it, but memorizing a few paragraphs and using it to show off when needed in the future is something they are used to. So Hua Qi, who was also mixed in the crowd, saw this imperial attendant talking beside him.
Everyone was stunned, especially the guy who just yelled about magic. His face turned red, but he couldn't refute. He couldn't help but feel very funny.
Speaking of it, Ah Liu's kung fu is much better than these people, but when it comes to professionalism in this kind of situation, Ah Liu can't even compare... Of course, he can't compare, after all, he has never been an imperial minister.
Attendant.
Hey, I think he really followed Emperor Ruizhong to fight in the Northern Expedition. Who made him a good scout and fell into the eyes of Emperor Ruizong? Later, when he stopped fighting, his scouting skills gradually became useless, so he
It was developed into other uses by Emperor Ruizhong and the current emperor, which is a bitter tear to talk about...
Just when Hua Qi was among the crowd, reflecting that his education of Ah Liu over the years had gone off the track, and Zhang Shou had not corrected it properly, he heard a lot of noise coming from outside.
Qing knew that the third prince, the crown prince, had come with those lectures from the East Palace. Of course, the fourth prince, a follower, would definitely come with him, so he continued to hide in the crowd with great interest, waiting to see Zhang Shou's reaction.
Anyway, when he came here specifically that day, he simply forgot about it... As for coming here to inform him later, that was of course impossible. How could he be so free?
Hua Qi didn't see Zhang Shou's reaction at all, because Zhang Shou was nowhere to be seen. With a burst of shouting, a large number of people came out and began to maintain order gently but forcefully, when he suddenly
I remembered that Zhang Shou was not a mere commander, he had many students at his disposal.
At this moment, Lu Sanlang, Ji Jiu, Zhang Datou, and the three chiefs were instructing other students to organize the people who were wandering outside to stop wandering outside and immediately enter the largest lecture hall in the public school.
Regarding the request of someone who wanted to stay and take a closer look at His Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Sanlang replied with a smile. After a while, after entering the lecture hall, the Third Prince would appear in the most conspicuous position and everyone could see it. Ji Jiu's answer was that His Highness the Crown Prince would come back in person.
Go on stage to speak; as for Zhang Datou, the son of Xiangyang Bo is much more simple and rude, and his direct words are threats.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a noble person. If he bumps into something due to the crowd, who will be responsible? If you want to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, simply study hard and either be admitted to the East Palace Attendant or be admitted to be a Jinshi and later give lectures to His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace.
!”
"What's the point of just standing on tiptoe to see? If you really have ambition, you can stand in front of His Royal Highness in the future!"
But don't mention it, Zhang Datou's words are really more effective than Lu Sanlang, Ji Jiu and Feng Xiaoyu's persuasion.
Soon, these three people brought the students from Jiuzhang Hall and Banshan Hall and ushered everyone into the lecture hall. As someone shouted that the invitations had seat numbers marked on them and they needed to be seated, there was another chaos.
But as two smart little guys came out with a group of very young students from the public school to maintain order, order quickly returned to order.
"Eight rows of seats? Do you see it? It's at the very end over there. Go inside, get an invitation for each person, and check your own seat number!"
"Why are you at the far end? Master Juren, I know you have a good reputation, you don't have to talk about it! The seat number was already written on the invitation. You forgot that when you came to register before, you picked it out of the box by yourself.
invitation?"
"Yes, that's right. In order to avoid being on a first-come, first-served basis, or for other reasons such as complaints that the seats are not good enough, etc., the invitations are drawn like lots. You are unlucky. Who can blame you?"
Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng were paired together. They were young and had a clear voice. When they said this, the person who was originally complaining or looking for trouble found that others were looking at him. For a moment, he could only swallow his words and sit down. But the two of them looked at each other.
While busy with work, he also taught the children who also acted as "volunteers" in the lecture hall how to help people find seats more efficiently and quickly, which made Hua Qi, who was watching the fun in the crowd, twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Those who are close to vermillion are red, those who are close to ink are black. Anyone who has stayed with Zhang Shou for a period of time has a righteous and resolute virtue!
The emperor's visit today was because the emperor specifically ordered the third prince to keep it secret in advance to prevent outsiders from getting wind of the incident, so no one should know about it - but even in this unknown situation, Lu Sanlang and others were able to remain calm.
Telling lies with your eyes open and having all the seats arranged, isn't this fooling people?
As soon as Hua Qi entered, she discovered that the lecture hall was full of identical benches. The only difference was that each bench had three numbers engraved on it and could seat three people. From the first row to the last row, they were all
There was no difference between such a setting. He could not see that there were VIP seats reserved in advance for the Third Prince and his entourage that could be seen by everyone in the room.
Unless it was... that high podium! He looked up and saw a row of chairs not far behind the podium!
Soon, he heard a loud voice, it was Lu Sanlang: "Okay, everyone who has found a seat, please sit down. Lu Jijiu and Liu Duanyin have already welcomed His Highness the Crown Prince in! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that today
Times are different from the past, there is no need to greet each other with courtesy, everything is kept simple, if you want to show respect, just stand up and nod after the prince comes in!"
The people who were either complaining or whispering just now became quiet in an instant. However, some people inevitably muttered secretly, why were only Liu Zhiyuan and Lu Wan going to greet the prince, and where was Zhang Shouren? However, as the third prince and his entourage appeared,
, everyone stood up to greet him. In the excitement, they temporarily forgot about today’s real protagonist, Zhang Shou.
Although Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan speculated that the third prince might be coming, they did not get confirmation in advance. Zhang Shou treated him with a normal attitude, so they had no choice but to overstep their bounds. But when they went to pick him up, they found Zhang Shou.
Astonishingly, they were not here, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even mention it.
The biggest thought in Lu Wan's mind, who was most familiar with Zhang Shou, was that the seemingly handsome and elegant scholar Zhang was going to cause trouble again! Sure enough, when he saw the third prince gently asking everyone to sit down, his big
The fat son trotted forward and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, your seat with everyone is on the podium. In addition, the teacher will demonstrate the experiment in public today, so I have to ask you to be an assistant!
