Chapter 622: Determination

The third prince is a sincere child, but he is not a sincere gentleman. The reason why he is not a gentleman is because he is still young and has not done the crown ceremony, so naturally he cannot be called a gentleman, of course, his crown ceremony is fast because of the emperor's insistence. But secondly...... That's because although he has been taught loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness since he was a child, and he seems to be gentle and loyal, he was taught by the emperor himself!

The son brought out by the emperor's words and deeds will be a gentleman? After listening to Zhang Shou's words, his first reaction was to dismantle the culprit in eight pieces, and it was best to put Ling Chi to death! The crime deserved death, and it actually implicated the fourth brother and Zhang Shou!

"Three days later is the ceremony of canonization of the crown prince, before which there may be thousands of eyes staring at you, but after that, the eyes of the whole world are staring at you. So, don't tell me that you want to try this case yourself. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou paused, and when he saw the third prince staring at him in amazement, he immediately turned his head away in embarrassment, and he knew that he had guessed correctly. The former three princes were certainly shy and generous, but since they have accepted the fact that they are about to enter the East Palace, and it is better to be so close to the four princes, seeing that his younger brother is being calculated like this, the third prince can still bear it is a strange thing.

"As a crown prince, what you should do is to know people and do things well, not do everything yourself. Besides, the emperor is probably even more thunderous and angry than you at this time, even so, don't you think you have more important things to do? For example, go back to the palace to see the emperor? ”

When the third prince followed Zhang Shou to reappear in front of people, Lu Sanlang, like everyone else, couldn't help but look at people carefully from head to toe, but he saw people smiling with Zhang Shouyan, and he couldn't see any vision at all. Thinking of the scene when this little prince appeared in the Banshan Hall of the Guozijian and was later admitted to the Jiuzhang Hall, he couldn't help but feel that it seemed like a long time ago.

And Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan saw that the three princes were thoughtful, humble and gentle, and the two who had a high evaluation of the future prince because of today's events were naturally more satisfied. The two of them took the three princes around the entire public school as guides, and after focusing on the classroom prepared for the Jiuzhang Hall again, Lu Juan stopped.

"Since those scholars in the Guozi Prison are short-sighted and can't tolerate the outlier of Jiuzhangtang, the public school is extremely welcoming. You must know that the income of teachers in public schools is meager, and the scholars are teachers, either for money or fame, but in public schools, they may not have both, so they are naturally reluctant to apply. However, if Jiuzhangtang is moved here, the public school will not worry about the teachers, and you will not have to worry about your livelihood. ”

"The lodging room is ready-made, and so is this part-time job, so you don't have to travel to and from the city. The only hard thing is probably Dr. Zhang, the road from your Zhang Garden to the outside of the city, back and forth is not trivial. ”

As soon as Lu Juan said this, everyone immediately went to see Zhang Shou. However, before Zhang Shou could answer, Lu Sanlang hurriedly said: "It is indeed extraordinary to go back and forth every day, plus there will be more students in Jiuzhangtang in the future, and it can't all rely on the teacher alone." Even those academies in the country are not teachers who lecture every day, and most of the time students study and learn from each other. ”

"For example, since I'm fast, of course I can substitute for others, and of course others can. By the way, I still remember that the teacher mentioned that after everyone studied on their own, let Zheng Rong also come to the class...... It's a pity that I won't have a chance in the future! ”

Hearing that Lu Sanlang still called his name, the third prince suddenly remembered Zhang Shou's original assignment, and he was even more stunned for a while.

When he heard Zhang Shou's cough next to him, he immediately adjusted his mood, and immediately smiled and said, "It can't be said that there is no chance." If you study diligently and serve in the East Palace, I will not have the opportunity to give you a lecture for the teacher! ”

As soon as these words came out, some people suddenly laughed among the surrounding students. And those seniors who were classmates with Lu Sanlang, but missed the opportunity to be classmates of the three princes, saw that the future prince was so humble, and they all felt like a spring breeze for a while.

And after coughing, Zhang Shou saw that the third prince was talking and laughing with people with a kind attitude, and his words and deeds could no longer show the shyness he once had, and he gradually saw a natural demeanor in dealing with people, although others said that he single-handedly taught people to be what they are now, but he also knew that it was not so much his credit as the environment.

In the midst of the joke, the topic gradually turned to the farce of the Guozijian today, the third prince suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly said: "I remember, when I went out of the city, I deliberately walked the Zhengyang Gate, passing by Qipan Street, I heard that there were prisoners in the Banshan Hall who tried to knock on the drum, and then they were stopped by the fourth brother, and after scolding them, they asked them to write a recital on the spot and ask someone to present it to the imperial front." ”

"The fourth brother left without asking the reason, but I heard that they were accusing the country of causing trouble...... At that time, I was in a hurry to go out of the city to find the fourth brother, and there was no one on the chessboard street, so I didn't bother to ask. Could it be that Jiuzhang Hall was locked up this morning, and you were almost locked up, and the same is true of Mid-Levels Hall? The people in the mid-levels hall almost went to beat the Dengwen drum, just for this matter? ”

"That's right!" Lu Saburo slapped his thigh hard, and said with an angry face, "When I rushed out with everyone this morning, I found that all the surrounding halls were in chaos, but no one came out. The guy who let us out said that there was a disturbance in front of the prisoner, and he was besieging the teacher, and I rushed out with a chair in a fit of rage! ”

Lu Xuan secretly sighed. This dead little fat man has been advocating gentlemen to fight wits and not strength since he was a child, and now he is angry with force for Zhang Shou, and this son doesn't know who he raised it for!

And today a series of things were overwhelming, and it was not until this time that Lu Sanlang mentioned it, and Zhang Shoufang thought of the question of who opened the door of Jiuzhangtang at that time, and immediately asked: "Then who let you out?" ”

"Who is it...... Teacher, you don't know? Lu Sanlang's eyes widened, and then he smiled hesitantly, "Of course it's Zhang Chen!" He's also a prisoner, and it's normal to hang out in the Guozi Prison, isn't it? I don't know why people don't come to see the teacher. ”

Knowing that it was indeed Zhang Chen, Zhang Shou not only relieved his doubts, but became even more puzzled. did such a good thing at a critical moment, why did Zhang Chen hide and not show up? What is mysterious? By the way, there are also students in the middle of the mountain hall who are so ambitious......

After he was assigned a class in Banshan Hall, he went to Cangzhou, and later since there was already a scholar there to teach, he didn't care about that stall after he came back. In his mind, for those children of officials and nobles, as time goes by, his teacher will gradually lose his name. But who would have thought that someone would take the lead in knocking on the Que and almost beat the drum!

Zhang Shouzheng was there to reflect on whether he had neglected his former students too much, but Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Teacher, preacher, teach and solve doubts." It's a pity that among the official schools, there are fewer and fewer teachers who remember this. ”

"That's why, Dr. Zhang, you treat people with sincerity, so the students will respect you so much. Because of the scholars they met in the past, they were just officials at all, so how could they have the slightest consciousness of being a teacher! ”

"It is precisely because of only taking care of one's own official career that official studies in various places have become worse and worse over the years, and they are useless!"

Liu Zhiyuan's statement was naturally agreed by Lu Juan - can he disagree? If the government and the school are very good, the students and officials are very conscientious, and the social studies and righteousness are all done perfectly, how can there be so many applicants at the beginning of the public school?

The third prince just stayed because he was also a member of the Jiuzhangtang, but of course neither Zhang Shou nor Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan would leave people here for too long.

In the future, the longer the prince stays in a place like the outer city, the more variables there will be. Even if Zhu Tingfang, who is in charge of the Five Cities Terracotta Division at this time, should be on guard after getting the news, the risk still exists.

Therefore, seeing that the time was not early, Zhang Shou bluntly urged the third prince to return to the palace. Compared with the habitual bargaining, or the fourth prince who is a fool of himself, the third prince, who is the elder brother, just glanced around, as if he wanted to take all the public schools he had no chance to study in his eyes and keep them in his heart, and then smiled gently at everyone.

"Then I'll go back to the palace. Ladies and gentlemen......" he raised his hand lightly and said word by word, "I'll see you next day." ”

When you see you again in the next day...... I'm going to call you His Royal Highness the Prince! Lu Saburo finally swallowed this sentence back into his stomach.

After all, if there is no father and no old man Liu here at this time, of course he can make some good-natured jokes with other classmates, and Zhang Shou may also join in, and the character of the third prince will definitely not care. But not now.

Therefore, he only hesitated slightly, then put his hands together, then stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said with a pun: "I wish Your Highness a safe journey." This road not only refers to this trip, but also refers to the future life of the three princes all the way.

Lu Sanlang, who was still calling the names of the third prince and the fourth prince just now, took the lead, and the others looked at me, and finally bowed down in unison. Faced with such a scene, the third prince first felt a little sad in his heart, as if something precious had come to naught, but when he saw Zhang Shou and Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan, he also raised his hand to salute and say goodbye, he came to his senses.

After promising his father to be the crown prince, he and his fourth brother are still different, let alone others?

Thinking of this, he finally replied with a sincere smile: "Teacher, Lu Saijiu, Mr. Liu, Senior Brother Lu and all senior brothers and classmates, then I will leave first!" A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and I will do my best! ”

Seeing that the third prince walked simply, and the wind was blowing under his feet, Lu Juanqiang, who was embarrassed in his heart, pressed the impulse to publicize that the future prince had come here - anyway, there are so many people present, this kind of thing will be known to everyone without publicity - and then he asked thoughtfully: "These two things made such a big fuss yesterday and today, and the evil man who hit people into the water was thrown to the Wanping County Ya, but what about the Guozijian?" ”

"It depends on how hard the emperor intends to use the knife against the national eunuch."

Liu Zhiyuan didn't care that there were still many students of Jiuzhangtang by his side at this time, and he said the murderous topic lightly, showing the true colors of the former decapitated Liu: "If the emperor really replaces a group of old people, the scholars are deposed, and the prisoners are dismissed, then the national prison can still be saved, otherwise...... It's hard to solve! ”

When the old man talked about Liu Zhiyuan, who was crazy about his youth, had already asserted that the only solution to Guozijian was the only solution, the emperor after the next dynasty went straight to Qingning Palace, and the first thing he did when he saw the queen mother was not to say anything about such a trivial matter as the four princes taking the blame - although he was angry and anxious when he heard it at first glance - but scolded in a split head: "Guozijian is already a rotten peach, hopeless!" ”

The queen mother, who knew her son best, originally knew that the emperor rushed in angrily not to ask the teacher for the crime, but at this time, when she saw that people really opened her mouth, she scolded the national eunuch angrily, and she had already heard about the one on the chessboard street and said: "I know that you advocate the founding ancestor the most, but the ancestor drove the Tartars to return to the world, and for a while he made a drastic move, so the world took on a new look." ”

"However, now that a hundred years have passed, the world's stubborn diseases are more than a star, if you want to be the master of Zhongxing, you can only cut the flesh little by little, and avoid bloodletting. Just moved the Guanglu Temple and the Imperial Dining Room, if you want to move the Guozijian next, you have to control yourself and don't open the knife to other places...... Neither can Qin Tianjian! ”

"Don't think that Qin Tianjian's corpse is a vegetarian meal, and even a celestial calendar is not accurate...... They are all crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation, and if the students of Jiuzhangtang want to replace them, there will be at least ten or eight years! The same goes for the astronomical talents you recruit! ”

was said by the queen mother, and the emperor's stomach full of anger had nowhere to vent, so he could only simply paced back and forth in Qingning Palace a few times. This is a habit he used to have, and now that he has been on the throne for many years and has a full house of children, there is gradually no such time to show immaturity in front of his mother, but today he really doesn't want to endure it.

After going around like this for a while, he slowly exhaled a breath and said calmly: "The canonization of the crown prince is imminent, but there are continuous accidents outside, one is against the celebrant and the other is against Zhang Shou. Coupled with the turmoil after Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing set out last year, I really doubt that anyone has bad intentions! ”

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this, and the words that the emperor said immediately afterwards made her even more angry.

"I suspect that Concubine Jing is still resentful in her heart......"

"Ridiculous!" Before the emperor finished speaking, the queen mother was furious, "She is indeed a million bad, but now she is in the middle of the road, and there is no one among all the relatives who can pick out a weapon, before I made a decree to abolish the queen, no one even said a word of justice for her, the queen, even if you drove Da Lang and Erlang out of the capital, no one put a beak!" ”

"The three of them, mother and son, are already depressed and desolate to the extreme, how can they instruct people to do such a big thing? Who listens to them? ”

The emperor was said by the Queen Mother to have a red face and a thick neck, but fortunately, at this time, there was no one left in the palace, and he was not afraid of losing face, so he simply sat down under the Queen Mother, and said with an annoyed face: "Who else is it?" Although Kong Laosi said that he was making a gesture of forging ahead, and he started to make a steady gesture when he got rid of Old Man Jiang, he was not so stupid! ”

"Ah Wu is an echo worm, Zhang Yu is still young, and no matter how much trouble he makes, it will not be his turn. In addition to these three elders, although the six Shangshu have their own needs, it is reasonable not to have such conspiracy calculations...... You can't always keep the ghost of the karma people away...... "Speaking of this, there is no need for the Queen Mother to shout angrily, he himself shut up, and it took a long time to hate and beat the handrail.

"I only have two sons left, and I must not be led astray again! The queen mother, I have made up my mind, although the three queens and the three young men of the East Palace, although they are both important ministers in the court, I will never let them interfere in San Lang's studies. The lecture official has been chosen, one round every five days, never one person, let San Lang keep a distance from them! Anyway, there is Zhang Shou...... Although he is busy, he can always do it when he enters the palace the next day! ”
