Chapter seven hundred and seventy fifth cheer, head iron
It was a sunny day when the first lecture at the public school was held. It was different from Zhang Shou’s previous lecture because the name of the Society of Talents had already been spread, and because of the demonstration effect of Chief Yue Shan and others, this time
There are indeed many famous people in Beijing, and officials from all over the country are also very familiar with these local celebrities, so they spread the word from ten to ten, and there are really many suitable ones.
In the first period, including Chen Xianzhang, there were a total of five lecturers. The lectures lasted for five days, and 1,500 tickets were sold out. Even the tickets that Ge Yong originally promised to leave to the public school students stood and listened.
There are quotas, but there are also many candidates who are unhappy.
After all, Cheng Men's reputation as "Li Xue" could become an idiom that has been passed down to this day. They also hoped that they would have such a reputation as "Li Xue Listen to Lectures". However, Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan did not let go of this bottom line, and God was very unfavorable.
, it was already the twelfth lunar month, but the color of the sky was very clear, with no sign of any imminent snow.
When the disciples inquired about it, Qin Tianjian also said that it would not snow recently, and now not so many people were willing to stand in the open air and listen to the lecture. After all, there is the risk of not being able to hear clearly when exposed to the cold wind, and also
If you can't express your thirst for knowledge, what's the point? A few people who are dedicated to learning are still trying to fight for it, but most people have given up.
He had already had experience in large-scale lectures before, so Zhang Shou did not use students from Jiuzhang Hall and Banshan Hall to maintain order this time. Instead, he used other public servants who had studied for a period of time and had made great progress in dealing with others.
The school students. And these young people wearing neat school uniforms, although young, but full of energy, also give people a glimpse of the image of a public school.
But compared to these students, those who had grabbed tickets to attend the lecture were most concerned about whether the prince would come as grandly as Zhang Shou did before, and how many dignitaries would come to support him... But no one did.
It occurred to me that when the first lecture, which was like a test of the waters, started, the Bachelor of Confucius University who had returned to Beijing in a low-key manner and was said to be tired and sick suddenly came unexpectedly!
Even though this current court elder is dressed in casual clothes and has a slim appearance, at first glance, he looks like an old man who has failed many times. However, he did not come here alone, but with four people accompanying him. And here.
When every candidate has to enter with a previously issued admission ticket, it is naturally rare to have an entourage following him. And it is even more normal if someone among so many candidates has seen him.
So, as the first person recognized him, the news spread to ten and hundreds, and the great scholar Confucius came to listen to the lecture in person. The news was like a whirlwind, plowing through the entire public school.
Even Zhang Shou, who had taken time to lecture the students of Banshan Hall on history before the start, also heard about it.
"Old Man Kong, what is he here for?"
In the Banshan Hall, Zhang Datou was the least interested in cabinet ministers like Academician Confucius, so he always spoke of Old Man Kong - even though Academician Confucius always considered himself to be young and powerful, not old at all.
There are also many people who agree with Zhang Big Guy. Some even claim that Scholar Confucius has bad intentions here, or maybe he is trying to gain the reputation of a polite and virtuous corporal.
Facing this messy scene, Zhang Shou remembered that Zhu Ying told him that Zhu Tingfang and the Confucian scholar had reached a compromise and asked people to support Chen Xianzhang's lectures, but now the Confucian scholar came up with this, and he couldn't help laughing.
This move by Academician Confucius will probably make the first famous scholar giving a lecture today burst into tears. And that person would never have thought that Academician Kong was just trying to bypass the verbal agreement reached with Zhu Tingfang, in addition to helping Chen Xianzhang.
, and also helped other lecturers. However, he was probably the one who selected the lecturers, otherwise he would be present at every lecture, and the dignified elder would be too busy.
At that time, he felt strange when he heard Zhu Ying mention it - although he didn't think that Zhu Tingfang, who came from a noble family, would stick to Wang Datou's impartial and selfless style, but people didn't just let go of the character of Confucius University Scholar.
.
So, Zhu Tingfang didn’t expect that Scholar Confucius would default on his debt? No, even if his brother-in-law didn’t have all the plans, he still had the ability to predict the enemy’s situation first. In other words, people might not care about Scholar Confucius at all.
Does he know how to play tricks? Or... people simply expect the Confucian scholar to play tricks!
Maybe the person standing behind Zhu Tingfang was not just his father-in-law Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, but the emperor. That's why Zhu Tingfang was able to press down on that obviously very bad life lawsuit.
In fact, it can't be said that it was pressed, because it was just a verbal agreement. Since the arrival of Academician Kong today has been equivalent to distorting the transaction, then it is only natural for Zhu Tingfang to go back and get Master Kong Jiu away. I'm afraid...
…
Thinking of this, Zhang Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, knocked on the podium lightly to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile: "I consulted you in advance about today's lecture, but you all said you were not interested, so I didn't let anyone over there.
Save your seat. Of course, even if I were there, I probably wouldn’t understand it, so I’m here now.”
Zhang Shou is about the same age as everyone else, but he is a teacher and student. In addition to the prestige he has built up through various things in the past, he doesn't like to act like a teacher unless necessary. I couldn't understand this sentence at this time.
Big guy Zhang and the others below suddenly became happy.
Zhang Datou was the first to yell: "Teacher talks about history, either concisely and to the point, or eloquently, as if telling a story. But when these old masters talk about history, they want to read it according to the history books, and they still have to explain it when they are talking about it.
My head hurts from reading this article for you. So, teacher, just accept your fate as to which pot goes with which lid. Except for us, other students are not suitable for you!"
Zhang Shou was so angry at Zhang Big Guy's words that he gestured for the person to come over. When Zhang Big Guy actually stood up and stepped forward, looking like he was tough and not afraid of being beaten, he dragged the person out.
Faced with this scene, instead of being shocked, the students in Banshan Hall gloated and cheered. Some even made bets on what kind of lesson the big man would receive.
Although Zhang Shou has never been a person with outstanding martial arts, after all, he has the status of a teacher, and he will not be like an ordinary strict teacher, waving the ruler majestically. Since he got to the public school, he still has to deal with those who are thorny among them.
They came up with many novel punishments, so they were both convinced and frightened by others.
Zhang Shou no longer uses the punishment of copying books and answering questions, but punishing them to memorize books, especially memorizing them backwards, really makes them complain. Among them, they even have to learn Chinese language... and even sing and dance!
Once, a large number of people took advantage of the fact that Zhang Shou was not giving a lecture and collectively skipped class. The feeling of squatting at the end was truly unforgettable for them.
Afterwards, their waists and legs were so sore that they felt extremely sore, and many people lamented behind their backs that they might as well have been beaten!
And now after Zhang Datou was pulled out of the classroom, he thought of Zhang Shou's endless corporal punishment, and was about to defend himself a few words, but Zhang Shou suddenly let go of his hand, and then said something that made him completely stunned.
If expected.
"Go to the big lecture hall where the lectures are held, find Bachelor Confucius, and then ask him in a low voice how your brother is doing now."
Seeing the big man Zhang's face full of surprise, Zhang Shou patted him on the shoulder, and then said very calmly: "Have you heard of Dr. Kong of Taichang Temple, the younger brother of the Confucius University scholar? People have committed great sins.
There are even serious murder cases among them, and several cases are still pending at Shuntian Mansion. If you ask this question, it will inevitably make the Confucius University scholar think it is a provocation, so you can handle it yourself."
Zhang Datou was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw Zhang Shou turned around and went in. He immediately shouted loudly: "My father has always been at odds with Old Man Kong, why am I still afraid of him? I'll go right now, maybe
After I returned home, my father found out that I dared to challenge Mr. Kong in person, and when he was happy, he rewarded me with some good things from between his fingers!"
"Teacher, just wait!"
Zhang Datou walked away in a majestic manner, and his last words were heard in a loud voice. Many students couldn't help but whisper to each other. So when Zhang Shou came back, someone couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, what are you sending?"
What is the mission of our captain? He left so happily?"
"That's right, God knows what kind of mission it is. You know, the Zhai Chief missed the mark in the monthly exam this time. He lost his position as the Eastern Palace Assistant and was almost beaten to death by Uncle Xiangyang."
The speaker was an enemy of Zhang Datou. He had just pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and now his face was full of gloating, "Just now he suddenly said that he was going to run against the Confucian scholar. What else will Uncle Xiangyang reward him? Could it be that he really intends to fight hard?
Bachelor of Confucius?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Shou looked at these students who were far more characterful and cunning than the students in Jiuzhang Hall with a half-smile, and then said calmly, "He went to send a message for me specifically to provoke the Confucius Master.
Yes, if you dare, you can chase the person back and take over this task."
Hearing that he was really going to provoke the Confucian scholar, the students who were chattering just now fell silent for a moment.
Although most of them are either rich or noble, and Confucius University Scholars seem to be on the decline recently, and I don’t know how long this pavilion elder can last, this does not mean that they can casually fight against this person who is not
The first assistant of the first assistant.
In front of others, of course they refused to admit that they were so cowardly, but in front of Zhang Shou, they didn't care whether they were embarrassed or not. At that moment, someone said sarcastically: "It's better to be a fool, what if I did such a thing?"
If you turn around, you will be beaten to death by my father!"
These Banshan Hall students who follow Zhang Shou have long been familiar with common sayings such as "Toutie". The first person made a few self-deprecating remarks, and the others all agreed.
All in all, except for the tough guy Zhang, although others have been domineering outside, they don't dare to confront Grand Master Kong. Even if they insist that they dare to do so, everyone can see that it is just talk.
That's all, if you encourage this guy to go now, he will definitely give in immediately.
And at the end, someone suddenly added: "If Zhang Chen or Zhu Erlang were here, they would probably be as brave as Zhang Datou."
As soon as these words came out, someone yelled angrily: "Of course you two dare, Zhang Chen has never provoked anyone in these years, except for the last time because the young master's wife went to the Li Jianwai Yamen to block the door, he was beaten by the Duke of Qin.
When else has he suffered a loss! As for Zhu Erlang... He was beaten by his father and brother since he was a child, and he was not afraid of being beaten. Now that we have the support of our teacher, he is not afraid anymore! "
But Zhang Datou didn't know that his actions would actually arouse heated discussions in the Banshan Hall. Of course, if he knew, he would definitely hold his head high, because he was sure that his father, Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong, would support him. If he is now
The most stubborn person in Banshan Hall, then his father, Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong, is the most stubborn person among the nobles.
Even the fathers of Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu, Nanyang Hou and Huaiqing Hou, after being impeached by the censor, either wrote to defend themselves or wrote to plead guilty, and there would always be corresponding reactions. But if it were Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong... the censor
Impeachment? What is that? I have never heard of it. Ignore him. I only care about my own happiness. Your impeachment has nothing to do with me!
The feud between Zhang Qiong and Master Kong is also due to the fact that he was impeached by Master Kong nearly twenty years ago. Other honorable nobles may not hold grudges, or they may keep them in their hearts, especially when Confucius was involved.
Although the academician rose through the ranks and joined the cabinet all the way. However, Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong held a grudge for twenty years. He often ridiculed him behind his back and even scolded the academician Confucius in public.
For these reasons, Zhang Datou dared to boldly say that he would take on such a task, otherwise he would not have dared. He is not Zhang Chen, who is an only son and is used to being arrogant in the capital, and wants to confront Mr. Ge even if he has nothing to do. Is that crazy?
Even though he had his father's backing and the teacher Zhang Shou, when Zhang Datou came to the Confucian University, he was still a little nervous. In fact, there are not many people today who want to get closer to Confucius University.
Relationship, but the students in the junior high school and senior classes in the public school, after repeated teachings and reminders from the teachers, are now at least able to follow the rules and prohibitions.
Therefore, except for Zhang Datou, who came on Zhang Shou's orders, all other attempts to get close have been stopped long ago.
As for Bachelor Kong, who was mentally prepared to deal with a possible counterattack today, he had always been vigilant about the situation around him, so he noticed it as soon as Big Zhang appeared. At this time, the person he saw had indeed come to him, and he
Naturally, he was very energetic. Sure enough, the next moment he just heard Zhang Big Man say: "Master Kong Da, the teacher has asked me to ask you something."
But Zhang Datou couldn't tell whether Grand Scholar Kong was in a good or bad mood at the moment. He started by asking in the most stable tone possible: "May I ask how your brother is doing right now?"
Academician Kong felt that a stone suddenly fell to the ground in his heart. After he smiled, he said lightly: "I'm sorry, Academician Zhang sent you to take care of me. He has been ill in recent days. When I came out, he was still sick.
Unable to wake up."
Because Zhang Shou said that Mr. Kong Jiu was involved in several major cases, Big Man Zhang would certainly not be satisfied with Master Kong’s answer that avoided the most important and trivial. So, although he could take this answer back and convey it to Zhang Shou now, it would not matter
He had completed his mission, but by some strange coincidence, he suddenly asked straight to the point.
"Does the Grand Master Zhao Kong say this, no matter how many crimes he commits, as long as he gets sick, it will be over?"
