Concubine Yu's narration was simple and clear, and Zhang Shou didn't have much effort to understand it.

It was when the current emperor was still young when he was just in power, and he liked to travel in a micro-suit with Zhu Jing, the prince of Zhao Guogong, who was quite different in age but was a cousin. When Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao were both pregnant, the two happily accompanied them to the incense - even if the Zhu family already had two sons at that time, and the emperor also had a son and a daughter.

As a result, it was unfortunate that someone took the opportunity to rebel, and the two women left the guards to the men without hesitation, and then escaped together, and then met his biological mother Widow Zhang, who was also quite strong - I don't know if it was the large number of people who attracted the attention of the rebel army, or the three women were too strong in combat, or the rebel army was too useless, anyway, the three women managed to escape.

The three of them hid in Widow Zhang's house, and Widow Zhang also found Wen Po next door. The three of them gave birth to children in a messy situation, Concubine Yu and Zhu Ying's mother gave birth to daughters one after another, while his mother, Widow Zhang, gave birth to a child desperately because of premature birth and dystocia, and finally died.

Zhang Shou recalled this past in a complicated mood, slightly in a daze, but his mood suddenly relaxed.

was born with the death of both parents, and this kind of life experience will be said by some people to be his parents, but he doesn't care at all. He will go to worship the poor Xiucai father, he will go to worship the venerable widow mother, and he will also take good care of the Wu family who raised him so big, and he has always regarded him as his mother. To be honest, as long as he knows that there is no mine behind his background, he will be satisfied.

"A-Shou?"

Awakened by this sudden voice, Zhang Shou raised his head, and when he saw that Concubine Yu was looking at him a little cautiously, he smiled and said: "Niangniang forgive me, I just can't help but recall the thrilling scene at that time." My mother was tough and strong. It's just that such a mother puts a lot of pressure on me as a son, and I'm afraid that I don't deserve the life she exchanged for her life. ”

If it was her real son, he might be indignant at this time to ask for justice, to make a statement, and even to set up a memorial arch, but he is different, what the mother hopes for should only be that her son lives peacefully and happily. So I'll leave that for later.

Concubine Yu was stunned when she heard this, not only her, but even Ge Yong on the side couldn't help but gently pull her beard.

"When I learned that Zhao Guogong had been raising our mother and son all these years, I thought it was very strange, and I asked Yingying, but unfortunately she didn't know, and now I finally solved my doubts. Over the years, I have lived a peaceful and joyful life, just like the veterans in the village who Zhao Guogong took care of, I am very content. Of course, it is not without regrets. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou paused slightly, and then looked at Ge Yong: "I know words and books, and it is impossible to live the same life like those villagers." I always wanted to go out of the village, but unfortunately my mother wouldn't let me, and the villagers were staring at me, so I could only teach the children so that their vision was not limited to the fields. But I've always wanted to walk around and have a look. ”

Now, that wish is coming true. Concubine Yu, teacher, a beautiful official like Dr. Guozi, I can't afford it. I don't care about other people's criticism, but that's not what I'm interested in. Moreover, in addition to the scriptures and scriptures passed on to me by the teacher, I came into contact with a lot of deviant things by chance, and if I used them to teach, I would definitely jump in the future. ”

Ge Yong was about to speak, when a slow voice suddenly came from the stairs behind him.

"Chickens fly and dogs jump, and they are stronger than lifeless. ”

"I think that when Emperor Taizu was here, the whole country was thriving, and there were arithmetic, gewu, civil engineering, and ships...... There is everything you need in all categories. Emperor Taizu used to say that if there was a pool of stagnant water somewhere, let a catfish go in. But look at it now, Guozijian is almost the rotten Confucians who are stubbornly obsessed with the literature and art of the time, and they are dead. ”

Zhang Shou couldn't cry or laugh. Emperor Taizu, you are really good, even the catfish effect has come out!

However, if Guozijian was really built as a modern university back then, how could it be reversed like this now?

Seeing that it was Chu Kuan who walked up the stairs alone, and the others disappeared as if they had disappeared, he didn't have to think about it to understand that it was someone else who created the opportunity for him to meet Concubine Yu.

When he caught a glimpse of Concubine Yu's face as usual, but Chang Ning, who was standing next to him, was smiling with a smile on his face, he realized that the Duke of Chu in front of him must be much higher than Chang Ning's level, and he groaned slightly, and directly raised his question according to Zhu Ying's previous title.

"Then dare to ask Gonggong Chu, are there any subjects such as arithmetic, gewu, civil engineering, and ships in the country today?"

Chu Kuan smiled and said casually: "When Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong were there, those subjects were there, and many talents were cultivated, but unfortunately Taizu abdicated early, Taizong did not live long, and in Taizong's later years, the sons seized the heirs, and there was a chaos. Emperor Gaozong's young lord ascended the throne, and the empress and her biological mother Concubine Jing both died early, and even the close eunuchs were supported by some officials. "Old Friends Bookstore

"The two teachers from Guozijian were framed, and Emperor Gaozong was led astray by some people with ulterior motives. In addition, those overseas merchant ships said that the customs of those barbarian lands were weird, they didn't know the etiquette, and they were far inferior to my Daming, so some people felt that it was unnecessary to accept those Xiyi scholars and fanshu. The people cultivated by Guozijian in the early years were gradually excluded because of this. ”

"Then Sejong, who succeeded to the throne, was frail and sickly, and he was also in power, listening to the cabinet in almost everything, and he didn't seem to understand Emperor Taejo's things, and gradually these subjects were just in vain, and there were almost no students. Emperor Taizu set up the iron card of opening the sea and persuading students all over the world, and now there are still people who are clamoring for the inflow of overseas barbarians and fanshu for their own selfish interests. ”

"Emperor Yingzong wants to revive the majesty of Emperor Taizu back then, but unfortunately he is a side branch, and he was forty years old when he ascended the throne. When he died, the prince died suddenly, and the sons quarreled, and it became a mess, but it was still Grandpa Ruizong who won the world by raising troops and reusing a famous man like Ge Taishi Qi Taichang who was proficient in miscellaneous families, which was reversed, but it was a pity that ......"

His face turned pale, and even his tone became sharp: "It's a pity that Grandpa Ruizong went early, and when he was given the nickname, he was actually condemned Ruizong." What wisdom is beautiful, what is the wisdom, what is the holy wisdom, deep thinking and foresight, the holy knowledge is subtle, and the thoughtfulness is wise...... But how many Ruizong have there been throughout the ages?

"Grandpa Ruizong has only one wrong thing in his life, he believed in those guys who surrendered to sincerity, and he didn't kill them all! The Empress Dowager almost had to fight to the death at that time, but in order not to repeat the mistakes of Emperor Gaozong, a few of us persuaded the Empress Dowager to give in, let me give in, and hang the curtain to train the government, but I was still constrained from time to time, and the emperor just ran into the rebellion of the Yeshu people, hum, how can there be such a coincidence!"

Chu Kuan finally sighed deeply: "The subjects left by Emperor Taizong are now only some books, and almost all the people who know these books are in the palace study hall! It's a pity that Emperor Taizong thought of the common people back then, and was unwilling to use more eunuchs with disabled bodies, otherwise the palace will be passed down from generation to generation, as long as there are many people, there will not be only so few seeds left." ”

Zhang Shou was sure that if he hadn't had a strained face at this moment, the expression on his face would have been very funny.

Chu Kuan wanted to flaunt that all the officials in the world were traitors, and only the eunuchs were loyal ministers?

Glimpsing Ge Yong's disapproving face, he knew that Chu Kuan's words were estimated to have a certain degree of truth, but they must be flaunting the eunuch group, and there was a certain amount of moisture. However, people have already spoken so deeply in front of him, if he still insists on resigning this Dr. Guozi, then he will definitely be unlucky because he doesn't know what to do.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked tentatively: "So, I, Dr. Guozi, am going to be a catfish and stir up the stagnant water of Guozijian?"

"You can't say that, you are Master Ge, and the emperor naturally wants you to revive the country's eunuch. ”

Seeing that Chu Kuan was speaking righteously and strictly, Zhang Shou simply stopped stiffening his face, and directly showed an expression that I felt like you were teasing me.

And even more explicit than his performance was Ge Yong, the old man scolded directly: "Chu Kuan, you don't talk about these fools, you have something to say!"

Chu Kuan caught a glimpse of Concubine Yu's eyebrows lowered at this time, and she was in a daze, so he said with sincerity on his face: "Master Ge, the emperor really said so. Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang, these guys, what kind of reputation did they have in the capital in the past, but now? Since Zhang Shou can manage these people well, then other people are still in trouble? The emperor said that Zhang Shou was allowed to recruit another prisoner in the first category of arithmetic subjects. ”

Hearing this last sentence, Zhang Shou suddenly lifted his spirits. Without thinking, he asked, "Is that true?"

Seeing that Zhang Shou was clearly moved, Chu Kuan suddenly smiled: "The emperor's golden mouth is naturally serious." ”

"No matter the age, no matter the origin?"

"That's nature, what the emperor wants is the result, and the hero doesn't ask where it comes from!"

"Good. Zhang Shou smiled and said lightly, "Then I bothered Father-in-law Chu to find out all the people who blocked the door of my teacher's house yesterday, I gave them a book yesterday, I think these people are quite suitable." ”

Seeing Chu Kuan's surprised and dazed face, he said with a smile: "If these people can pass the exam, plus Lu Sanlang, then the first batch of students will be counted!"

If you want me to be a teacher, you can find all the students for me first! A group of people in my cuiyun room were all stuffed to me by Miss Zhu, and except for Lu Sanlang, almost no one can learn mathematics!
