On this day, it was another day when Zhang Shou taught in the East Palace. The other lectures were held every five days, but when it came to him, they became classes every other day. But this thing that is left on others to ask for and cannot be ecstatic has become a burden on him. Although it was closer for him to set off from Zhang Yuan to Ciqing Palace in the morning, the problem was that it meant that Jiuzhangtang would have to be stocked for another day!

The most terrible thing is that now he has enrolled dozens of people in two grades, and it is not enough for him to be there every day, let alone to be divided by Ciqing Palace for such a half day?

But manpower is tight, no matter how talented Lu Saburo is, mathematics can be bypassed, but physics is not at all - after all, if you expect people in this age to be able to accept classical mechanics, you have to go step by step. Besides, Zhang Shou himself hasn't had time to teach physics to people a few times, how can he expect Lu Saburo to be a good substitute teacher?

Besides, Lu Sanlang and Qi Liang are now sharing the responsibilities of the East Palace attendant, that is, the substitute teacher of the East Palace, which is really lacking in skills, in Lu Xiaofat's own words, he is now eager to divide one person into two, and he also has to take care of his own cultural industry that constantly merges other bookstores!

Therefore, when Zhang Shou came to the gate of Ciqing Palace today, his idea in his heart was whether he could move the third prince and the fourth prince and replace the class every other day with a lecture every three days. He tried to teach three days a day, and then assign a lot of homework, anyway, none of the students in this year were as tired of learning as later generations, and even if the question sea tactics were rejected, they would only be complained about at most.

But as soon as he stood at the door, someone ran out of the Ciqing Palace, it was the bear child of the fourth prince. The man grabbed his sleeve regardless of it, looked around for a moment, and 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 heck? Zhang Shou's first reaction was to be at a loss, although the second prince had actually been away from Beijing for only a month, but during these days, because the third prince was canonized as the crown prince, miscellaneous things emerged one after another, and he almost forgot the unlucky ghost who made the poisoning incident in Kunning Palace. And when he reacted, his eyes when he looked at the four princes showed severe reproach.

And where could the fourth prince not understand this, and quickly explained: "Of course I asked my father and the emperor, so I dare to tell the teacher!" Moreover, the father also said that the death of the second prince will be announced in the early court today! ”

He didn't call the second brother or the royal brother, because usually unless he saw the second prince himself, the bear child was called that. When he saw that Zhang Shou was really a little stunned, he burst into a big mouth, and explained all the events that happened last night, while saying it, he was glad in his heart that he had obtained his father's consent early, otherwise he would be scolded by the teacher for leaking forbidden Chinese.

Zhang Shou listened quietly, he didn't feel strange about the whole participation of Mrs. Tai, Jiuniang and even Zhu Ying, and at the same time guessed that Song Huishou probably went to Zhao Guogong's mansion as soon as he returned to the capital. There is no doubt that this is a very wise choice, because if he comes to tell him, all he can do is send people to Zhu's house!

"Okay, I got it."

Zhang Shou smiled and looked at the small hair crown of the fourth prince - probably because he was afraid that the crown ceremony of the third prince would be criticized too early, and after the crown ceremony of His Royal Highness the crown prince, the fourth prince was also crowned, otherwise it would be a little incongruous for the brothers to sit together and study - and then said solemnly, "In order to fully learn the lesson of the second prince who does not learn and is willful, I have decided to double the homework assigned to you today." ”

The four princes were dumbfounded on the spot. Soon, several East Palace attendants and attendants came out to salute, and Zhang Shou walked in leisurely, and after meeting the third prince, seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to speak and stopped, he said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is useless to think about the past, and 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 had already been prepared to stop, and the four princes came in with their heads drooping, so he knocked on the blackboard with a smile and said, "Okay, don't gossip in class, let's continue to talk about geometry today." ”

A few freshly baked East Palace attendants had their faces as earthy as they came. They are the least experienced in this Ciqing Palace, and they know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to have a good impression of Guozijian, and the Jiuzhangtang and Banshan Hall that were separated from Guozijian must have a bad impression of them, but after carefully holding their tails in Ciqing Palace for three days, they found that everything was completely different from what they imagined.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, he is gentle and polite, diligent and studious, although the East Palace attendants, including Lu Sanlang, are in their own right, although the two people in the Mid-Levels Hall are self-supporting, they cannot be said to exclude them. However, the biggest problem is that they are also the tallest of the short, and among the six prison students, they are the most familiar with the scriptures, but they can't understand the content of Zhang Shou's lecture at all!

So, they had already had a wax sitting experience last time, and when Zhang Shou'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 insignificant, and even Yue Shanchang's lectures on agriculture were much easier.

Fortunately, Zhang Shou only spoke for two quarters of an hour every time and then paused, and they were finally able to breathe. At this time, several prisoners who have little friendship on weekdays will get together and be courteous in front of the prince...... Even most of the attendants in the Jiuzhang Hall couldn't take their turns, and none of them would take this risk for the sake of being in the limelight.

Because of this kind of rest time, most of the four princes chattered around the three princes and talked non-stop, and occasionally the three princes asked Zhang Shou or Lu Sanlang and Qi Liang alone...... Today, however, the situation is clearly different.

I saw that Zhang Shou walked up to the third prince and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I plan to play the emperor, and adjust the time of teaching in the East Palace in the future, from teaching every other day to teaching every three days." ”

Before the third prince could react, the fourth prince immediately shouted, "Teacher, why is this!" ”

Although the four princes also have the same troubles as those East Palace attendants who were born as prisoners, that is, it is difficult to keep up with Zhang Shou's teaching content, even if the third prince and the emperor take turns to give him make-up lessons and explanations, it is also a stumbling block, but this does not prevent him from liking Zhang Shou to class the most, because Zhang Shou's work and rest time of two quarters of an hour and a quarter of an hour of rest is very much to his taste.

Moreover, Zhang Shou does not give lectures and lectures every time, but will set aside a class time to talk about some light things, maybe some truths that are seen in daily life, but often ignored, maybe some historical allusions and celebrity anecdotes, maybe some interesting mathematics or even physics. At least in his opinion, it was much more interesting than the other teachers' lectures.

Especially those bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, they are strict and don't know how to be flexible, every time they talk for more than half an hour, his butt hurts!

Therefore, seeing that Zhang Shou seemed to be considering how to answer, he immediately went to drag the third prince over, intending to induce Zhang Shou to give in through the usual tried and tested word grinding tricks, but the third prince hesitated for a moment before calling the teacher, and Zhang Shou spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it is true that everyone can't ask for a lecture in the East Palace, but you must know that there are dozens of people in two grades in the Jiuzhang Hall." ”

"If Lu Gaoyuan and Xiao Qi are sitting over there every day, I can sit back and relax, but after all, they still have to take turns to look around the Ciqing Palace, and even if I go back, I can often give them half a day of classes every two days, as for the half a day, I have to sort out the progress of the course, and someone will help to see the results of the homework. And in this way, I hardly have a rest. ”

Seeing that the third prince was speechless, the fourth prince was dumbfounded, and the rest of the people had different expressions, Zhang Shou continued: "Of course, I am still young, and I can endure it without rest, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learns so many things every day at a young age, and it is also very hard, but there is a way to live and learn from old age, not to mention that I am not old, although I am a lecturer in the East Palace, I also have things to learn." You have to give me some time to study, right? What's more, my wedding date is approaching. ”

This time, even the attendants of the East Palace were stunned. Zhang Shoudu is already the prince's teacher, and he even confessed that he still needs to study? Even for the sake of the wedding date, he did not hesitate to lose the good opportunity to show his face in front of the prince the most times?

Seeing that the third prince's expression gradually relaxed, and the fourth prince was full of unhappiness, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "Of course, no one is there, but I will not have less homework left." There is no end to learning, and there is no end to the sea of questions. You should have realized that you may not understand just listening to lectures, but the more you do the questions, the easier it will be to master. ”

The people of Jiuzhangtang have a deep understanding of these four words, but the attendants of the East Palace still have no way of knowing, because they didn't assign too much homework after Zhang Shou's lecture last time, and even gave extra orders, so those who didn't understand it could not do it. Even Zhang Da, who had studied "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition" on his own before, only barely made two of the six questions assigned by Zhang Shou.

At this time, they saw Zhang Shou directly take out a paper roll with a smile.

"Asking you to transcribe the questions on the blackboard is an expedient measure in the Jiuzhang Hall in the past, but now you have a total of twenty people, and the emperor will cover the cost of reading in Ciqing Palace, so I discussed with Lu Gaoyuan before, and then I will print the "Ge's Lesson and One Practice" that is matched with the "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition", and when the time comes, everyone will have a book, 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 was thoughtful after suddenly realizing it, everyone else, including the fourth prince, gasped. Even Lu Sanlang himself, who had already discussed this trick with Zhang Shou, felt that Zhang Shou's smile seemed to show sharp fangs - he had personally seen the lesson and practice, and the number of questions was so frightening that it scared people to death!

"Teacher, I have to discuss this matter with my father." The third prince didn't 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 and give it to the students of Jiuzhangtang." Because the reason why teachers are so busy that they can't take care of them is also because of me. ”

At this day at the court meeting, the emperor did not smash the earth-shattering news that the second prince died due to the sinking of the ship, and I don't know how many people were stunned. Although the second prince is just a prince who was expelled for sin, and his biological mother is already a deposed queen, and people have never had a good reputation, there is a way that dead people are always justified.

As a result, among the major yamen, the voices of the second prince and even the eldest prince gradually showed such signs of raising their heads. However, that kind of voice is very small, in the case that there is already a master in the East Palace, among the Jinshi who have studied for decades and has only been named on the gold list, there are very few people who will go to the brothers and put themselves in.

But just because it's rare doesn't mean it doesn't. In any era, there is never a shortage of people who fight for fame.

And Zhu Ying, who witnessed this incident with her own eyes last night, did not stay idle at home this afternoon, but invited Princess Yongping and the Hong family to check a private house in Jinggongfang in Beicheng. There is no doubt that the land is "owned" by Zhang Kang, a big land-hoarder in Weinan. Even Princess Yongping, who is in a complicated mood, has to admit that this private house is impeccable.

After inspecting the house in person, Hong couldn't help but admire: "Although this house is some years old, it is very well maintained, and as long as a new batch of tables and chairs is purchased, classes can start immediately." Moreover, there is the Shuntian Mansion in Beicheng, as well as the Beicheng Terracotta Division, plus the Guozijian and the Confucian Temple are also here, which is originally the land of Wenhan, so there is no need to worry about safety. ”

"Where did the security problem come from. I personally supervise the school, and if anyone dares to make trouble, discipline them to come in vertically and go out horizontally! Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled murderously, "Moreover, there is also Miss Ye who has personally cut off the ears of the disciples to teach martial arts, if anyone has bad intentions, hehe, it is really a spearhead!" ”

Although Princess Yongping was upset, when she went out today, she learned that the second prince was likely to sink the ship and die, so she was unwilling to conflict with Zhu Ying again. After Song Juren and the county lord of Hailing quickly decided on the marriage, she only felt that her suspicions were really ridiculous and stupid, although she still had grievances in her heart, she was reluctant to show them.

Even if Zhu Ying ran forward and left, she invited the female masters she needed, but everyone was carefully selected by the celebrant when she chose the concubines for the eldest prince and the second prince, although the family background was average, her conduct and knowledge were outstanding. The most important thing is that everyone is willing to buy Zhu Ying's face, and come out to show up to be the master of those students in the future of the female school, what else does she have to say?

Therefore, she just reminded lightly: "A female student is a female student, it is better to keep a low profile, otherwise it will not sound good to go back and send traitors to the yamen all day long, and spread it out!" ”

Zhu Ying smiled and didn't answer, and the Hong family has always known how to be a peacemaker, so he immediately diverted the topic and talked about the three princes learning to paint. When she said that the three princes were strict with themselves even when they learned to paint, they did not blindly praise them, but said implicitly: "There is an end to manpower, and there is no end to learning, the three princes don't need to strive for perfection in everything, and the eye of appreciation is more important than the foundation of painting." ”

Although Princess Yongping didn't like Hong, she agreed with this. At this time, she only heard a voice from outside: "Princess, someone outside is urgently looking for Mrs. Hong!" The slave maid originally asked him to wait outside, but he said that he was in a hurry and could not afford to delay, and said...... also said that Hong Shanchang was going to write a book to complain for the second prince! ”

Hong Shideng, who had just learned about the second prince, chuckled in her heart, and when she saw the expressions of Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping, she suddenly realized that if she didn't stop it, her father would probably poke a hornet's nest!
