Chapter 682: The sea of ??questions is boundless, hornet's nest
This day was another day when Zhang Shou was teaching in the East Palace. Other lectures were given once every five days, but for him, it became a class every other day. But this was something that others could only hope for with great joy.
But it became a burden on him. Although he set off from Zhang Yuan in the morning to get closer to Ciqing Palace, the problem was that it meant that Jiuzhangtang would have to rest for a day the next day!
The most terrible thing is that now he has recruited dozens of people from two grades. It is not enough for him to be there every day, let alone being allocated so much time by Ciqing Palace?
But people are tight, and no matter how talented Lu Sanlang is, he can make connections in mathematics, but not in physics at all - after all, if you expect people these days to accept classical mechanics, you have to do it step by step. Besides, Zhang Shou himself
How can you expect Lu Sanlang to be a good substitute teacher when you haven't even had time to teach physics a few times?
Besides, Lu Sanlang and Qi Liang now share the responsibility of being the East Palace's assistant teacher, that is, the East Palace's substitute teacher.
Taking care of his own cultural industry that is constantly annexing other bookstores!
Therefore, when Zhang Shou came to the gate of Ciqing Palace today, what he had in mind was whether he could persuade the third and fourth princes to switch from starting classes every other day to once every three days. He tried to give lectures on one day
Three days of content, and then a lot of homework is assigned. Anyway, none of the students these days are as tired of studying as later generations. Even if the question-sea tactics are rejected, they will only get a few complaints at most.
But he had just stood at the door when someone ran out of Ciqing Palace. It was the fourth prince, a naughty boy. He grabbed his sleeve regardless and looked around for a moment.
He immediately whispered: "Teacher, teacher, great news!"
After a very serious prefix came first, the fourth prince lowered his voice and said: "The second prince may be dead!"
What the hell? Zhang Shou's first reaction was to be confused. Although the second prince left the capital for only a month, because the third prince was canonized as a prince during this period, miscellaneous things happened one after another. He almost made a scene out of Kunning Palace.
The unlucky man who was responsible for the poisoning incident had completely forgotten about it. But when he realized what was happening, he looked at the fourth prince with a look of severe reproach.
How could the fourth prince not understand this? He quickly explained: "Of course I asked my father for permission, and then I dared to tell the teacher you! Moreover, my father also said that the death of the second prince would be announced in the morning this morning!"
He didn't call the second brother or the emperor brother, because unless he saw the second prince himself, the naughty kid would call him that. When he saw Zhang Shou, he was a little dazed, so he burst out and told the story of what happened last night.
I explained all the series of events, and while I was talking, I was glad in my heart that I had obtained my father's consent early, otherwise I would have been scolded by the teacher for leaking forbidden Chinese.
After Zhang Shou listened quietly, he did not find it strange that Mrs. Tai, Jiuniang and even Zhu Ying were involved in the whole process. At the same time, he also guessed that Song Huishou probably went to Zhao Guogong's mansion to report as soon as he returned to the capital. There is no doubt that
, this is a very wise choice, because if you come to tell him, all he can do is send the person to the Zhu family!
"Okay, I get it."
Zhang Shou smiled and looked at the small crown of the fourth prince - probably because he was afraid that the third prince's crowning ceremony would attract criticism too early. After the crowning ceremony of the crown prince, the fourth prince also crowned himself, otherwise the brothers would
It was a bit incongruous to sit together and study together - and then he said solemnly, "In order to fully learn the lesson of the second prince's ignorance and willfulness, I have decided to double the homework assigned to you today."
The fourth prince was stunned on the spot. Soon, several East Palace attendants and attendants came out to salute, while Zhang Shou walked in casually. After meeting the third prince, he saw this
His Highness the Prince hesitated to speak, so he smiled and said: "Your Highness, it is useless to dwell on the past. Looking forward to the future is the most important thing."
He saw that the attendants and attendants had already prepared the textbooks and the Four Treasures of the Study, and the blackboards were also ready. The fourth prince came in with his head hanging down, so he knocked on the blackboard with a smile and said: "Okay, no more classes.
Without further ado, let’s continue talking about geometry today.”
The faces of several East Palace attendants who had just been freshly minted for a few days turned pale. They were the least senior in Ciqing Palace, and they knew that His Highness the Crown Prince did not seem to have a good impression of the Imperial College. The Jiuzhang Hall and Banshan Hall that were separated from the Imperial College must be more favorable to them.
They didn't like it, but after staying in Ciqing Palace for three days with their tail between their legs, they found that everything was completely different from what they imagined.
Although His Highness the Crown Prince is young, he is polite, courteous, and studious. Although the East Palace attendants, including Lu Sanlang, are in their own way, and although the two people in Banshan Hall are in a group, they cannot be said to be excluding them. However, the biggest problem is,
They can be regarded as the tallest among the shortest. Among the six supervisors, they are the most familiar with Sutra calculations, but they can't understand the content of Zhang Shou's lecture at all!
Therefore, they had already experienced sitting on the wax once last time. When Zhang Shouna's flying lecture speed started again, they only felt like they were sitting on pins and needles and their scalps were numb. In comparison, the content of other teachers' lectures was simply
Little witches see big witches, and even Chief Yue Shan's lectures on agriculture were much easier for them.
Fortunately, Zhang Shou would only speak for two-quarters of an hour before pausing, so they could finally take a breath. At this time, several prison students who had no friendship with each other would get together, and as for being courteous in front of the prince...
Even most of the attendants at Jiuzhang Hall are not allowed to take the turn, and none of them will take this risk just for the sake of limelight.
Because of this kind of break, most of the time the fourth prince was chattering around the third prince. Occasionally, the third prince asked Zhang Shou alone or Lu Sanlang and Qi Liang... But today, the situation was obviously different.
Zhang Shou suddenly walked up to the third prince and said solemnly: "Your Highness, I plan to report to the emperor that he will adjust the teaching time in the East Palace from every other day to every three days.
"
Before the third prince could react, the fourth prince immediately shouted: "Teacher, why is this!"
Although the fourth prince also had the same troubles as the few East Palace attendants who were born as supervisors, that is, it was difficult to follow Zhang Shou's lectures. Even if the third prince and the emperor took turns to give him make-up lectures, it was still stumbling, but this did not
He liked Zhang Shou's class the most, because Zhang Shou's schedule of two-quarters of an hour of classes and a quarter-of-an-hour break suited his taste very well.
Moreover, Zhang Shou does not give lectures every time. Instead, he will set aside time in a class to talk about some light things, maybe some truths that are seen in daily life but often ignored, maybe some historical allusions.
Celebrity anecdotes, maybe some interesting mathematics or even physics. At least in his opinion, this is much more interesting than other teachers' lectures.
Especially those bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, who are strict and don't know how to adapt. Each lecture lasts for more than half an hour, and his buttocks hurt from sitting!
Therefore, seeing that Zhang Shou seemed to be thinking about how to answer, he immediately dragged the third prince over, intending to induce Zhang Shou to give in through the usual tried-and-tested formula of grinding characters, but the third prince hesitated for a moment before calling him "teacher," and Zhang Shou
He spoke: "Your Highness, the lectures and readings in the East Palace are indeed what everyone wants, but you must know that there are still two grades and dozens of people in Jiuzhang Hall."
"If Lu Gaoyuan and Xiao Qi were to sit there every day, I would be able to sit back and relax, but after all, they still have to take turns visiting Ciqing Palace, and even if I go back, I can only give them half-day lessons every two days.
As for there is still half a day, I have to sort out the progress of the course, so I still have someone to help me look at the results of the homework. And in this way, I almost don’t have any rest.”
Seeing that the third prince was speechless, the fourth prince was dumbfounded, and the others had different expressions on their faces, Zhang Shou continued: "Of course, I am still young, and I can endure it without stopping. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince learns to do this every day at a young age.
There are many things, and it is very hard, but the right way is to live and learn, not to mention that I am not old yet. Although I am a lecturer in the East Palace, I still have things to learn. You have to leave me some time to study.
?What's more, my wedding is approaching."
This time, even the few East Palace attendants were stunned. Zhang Shoudu was already the prince's teacher, but he actually admitted that he still needed to learn and practice? Even for the sake of the wedding, he did not hesitate to lose the honor that had appeared most often in front of the prince.
Chance?
Seeing that the third prince gradually relaxed and the fourth prince looked unhappy, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "Of course, even though I'm not around, I've left a lot of homework. There's no limit to the sea of learning, and there's no limit to the sea of questions.
. You should have realized before that you may not understand it just by listening to the lecture, but the more questions you have done, the easier it will be to master it."
The people of Jiuzhang Hall have a deep understanding of these four words "The sea is boundless", but the attendants in the East Palace have no way of knowing it, because Zhang Shou didn't give too many homework after the last lecture, and even gave extra instructions, but they didn't listen.
Those who understand don't have to do it. Even Zhang Datou and Zhang Shou, who had studied "New Edition of Gurdjieff's Arithmetic" by themselves like crazy before, could only barely solve two of the six questions assigned by Zhang Shou.
At this time, they saw Zhang Shou take out a paper roll with a smile.
"Putting questions on the blackboard for you to copy was an expedient measure in the past in Jiuzhangtang, but now there are only twenty of you in total, and the emperor has shouldered all the expenses for studying at Ciqing Palace, so before I
After discussing it with Lu Gaoyuan, we will next print the "Grandpa's One Lesson and One Exercise" that is paired with "The New Edition of Gurdjieff's Arithmetic". Then everyone will have one copy and it will be much easier to do the questions."
Zhang Shou smiled and showed his teeth at this time. However, except for the third prince who suddenly realized what he was thinking about, everyone else including the fourth prince took a breath. Even he had discussed this move with Zhang Shou.
Lu Sanlang himself felt that Zhang Shou's smile seemed to reveal sharp fangs - he had personally seen the lessons and exercises, and the number of questions was terrifying!
"Teacher, I want to discuss this matter with my father." The third prince did not agree immediately, but at the same time he added, "However, if Senior Brother Lu's book is printed, I am willing to buy it in my name.
Give each of the students in Jiuzhang Hall a copy. The reason why the teacher is too busy to take care of them is also because of me."
At this court meeting, it was not until the end of the dynasty that the emperor broke the shocking news that the second prince had died due to a shipwreck. I don’t know how many people were dumbfounded. After returning to the Yamen, there were naturally different opinions. Although the second prince was just a prisoner for a crime.
He was an expelled prince, his biological mother was already a deposed queen, and he never had a good reputation, but as the saying goes, dead people always have their reasons.
As a result, in the major yamen, voices apologizing for the second prince and even the eldest prince gradually began to rise. However, that voice was very small. When the East Palace already had an owner, it took decades of studying to
Among the Jinshi who were named on the gold list, there are only a handful of people who would go out to avenge the brothers and involve themselves in it.
But being rare does not mean that there are none. In any era, there is always a shortage of people who strive for fame.
And Zhu Ying, who only witnessed this incident last night, did not stay idle at home this afternoon. Instead, she invited Princess Yongping and made an appointment with the Hong family to inspect a private house in Jinggongfang, Beicheng.
There is no doubt that that piece of land is "owned" by Zhang Kang, Weinanbo, a big land hoarder. Even Princess Yongping, who is in a complicated mood, has to admit that this house is impeccable.
After personally inspecting the house, Mr. Hong couldn't help but admired: "Although this house is old, it is well maintained. As long as a new batch of tables and chairs are purchased, classes can be started immediately. Moreover, there is a Shuntianfu Yamen in Beicheng, and
The Beicheng Military and Horse Department, as well as the Imperial College and the Confucian Temple are also here. It is originally the place of Wenhan, so there is no need to worry about safety issues."
"What kind of safety issue is there? I personally supervise the school. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will discipline them to come in vertically and go out horizontally!" Zhu Ying raised her brows and smiled murderously, "Moreover, I personally cut off the cross hair.
Miss Ye, who has a disciple’s ear, comes here to teach martial arts. If someone has bad intentions, hey, that’s really on the head of the spear!"
Although Princess Yongping was upset, when she went out today, she learned that the second prince was likely to have died in a shipwreck, so she was unwilling to conflict with Zhu Ying again. After Song Juren and the Lord of Hailing County quickly arranged their marriage, she
I just feel that my suspicions are ridiculous and stupid to the extreme. Although I still have resentment in my heart, I am not willing to show it.
Even though Zhu Ying rushed around and invited as many women as she needed, the women were all carefully selected by the Chief of Ceremonies when selecting concubines for the eldest and second princes. Although their family backgrounds were average, their conduct and knowledge were not.
They are all outstanding. The most important thing is that every one of them is willing to buy Zhu Ying's face and come out to be the wife of the female students in the future. What else can she say?
Therefore, she just reminded her in an understatement: "A female student is a female student, so it is better to keep a low profile. Otherwise, you will send treacherous people to the Yamen all day long, and it will not sound good if you spread the news!"
Zhu Ying chuckled and did not answer the question. Hong, who always knew how to be a peacemaker, immediately changed the subject and talked about the third prince's learning of painting. When she mentioned that the third prince had strict requirements even for learning to paint.
When he was talking to himself, he did not praise blindly, but said implicitly: "Manpower is limited, but learning is endless. The third prince does not need to strive for excellence in everything. Appreciation is more important than painting skills."
Although Princess Yongping didn't like the Hong family, she agreed with this. At this time, she only heard a voice from outside: "Princess, someone outside is looking for Madam Hong urgently! The slave originally asked him to wait outside.
But he said it was urgent and could not afford to delay, and... he also said that Chief Hong Shan might write a letter to express his grievances for the second prince!"
Hong, who had just learned about the second prince, was immediately heartbroken. Moreover, when she saw the expressions of Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping, she suddenly realized that if she didn't stop her, her father would probably poke a hornet's nest!
