Just now, Hong Shanchang, who had been eager to try, wanted to follow the Confucian scholars and the large number of literary scholars, and did not need to be literate in the Wenhua Palace, was completely speechless at this time.

I thought that Zhang Shou was the chief of Yue Shan, who was studying the old system with the prince and the prince, and he hesitated. Xiao Shanchang Xu Shanchang was originally thinking about whether to ask for a little bit of abuse of power by eunuchs in ancient and modern times, but at this time, he was very glad that he was not dizzy for a while. It's just that the four words that Zhang Shou said about the East Palace attendant, everyone is chewing on it.

In fact, in the Han and Tang dynasties, there were often sons and daughters of the fathers in the East Palace, but in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system was complete, even if it was an official in the East Palace, it was all a meritorious person during the period, not to mention the love of reading together, more just an official position.

Therefore, the so-called East Palace attendants of this dynasty, before Zhang Shou's group of students were selected, had always been a part-time job of the literary and noble officials of the Hanlin Academy, and the name was greater than the substance!

There are only those people in Jiuzhangtang, who can be regarded as the real East Palace attendants for many years - to study with the prince...... No, it should be said that the kind that has read books with the prince!

But now, many people in the Wenhua Hall have to carefully figure out what Zhang Shou's so-called attendants of the East Palace mean? If you really want the children of the eunuchs to obey each other, even if you really sprinkle a broom with a broom, you will probably be scrambled to break your head! Who doesn't want their children to be in the eyes of the prince when they are young? And looking at the emperor's love for the three princes, it must be the future son of heaven!

Under the gaze of countless people, especially the curious and inquisitive gaze of the emperor and the third prince and the fourth prince, Zhang Shou said slowly: "From this dynasty to the present, Ciqing Palace and Wenhua Hall have been used as the living place of the East Palace, but because the Wenhua Palace is often used for banquets and the place of deliberations, the world often takes Ciqing Palace as the East Palace, but they do not know that Ciqing Palace is a place for reading. ”

"Since it is a place to study, there is no need for the palace attendants to be permanent, just like in the past, when the three princes and the four princes were studying in the country, why not bring someone to serve them?"

The emperor's heart moved. Ciqing Palace is located in the southeast of Miyagi, while Qianqing Palace is located in the north of Miyagi, although they are not far from each other, but there is also a long distance. And the distance between the Son of Heaven and the crown prince has always been widened, and it is easy to have all kinds of problems, especially when the third prince is still young, he used to take him with him to teach by word and deed, but now he suddenly let go to Ciqing Palace, is it too hasty?

Thinking of this, he bowed his head slightly and said: "San Lang is still young, I really don't want him to live in Ciqing Palace and study." ”

Well, although those furnishings and covers have been prepared for a long time, but they can be prepared without it, as for the three princes, of course, it is not appropriate to continue to live in the palace of concubines, and it is better to move directly to the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace, anyway, it is just a library over there!

Seeing that the emperor gave a very positive response, obviously intending to keep the third prince by his side, Zhang Shou continued calmly: "Since the crown prince does not live in Ciqing Palace, isn't it groundless for the Confucian scholars and you to worry? Ciqing Palace's sprinkling and daily affairs, just morning and dusk and noon, and you don't even have to look at your face, how can it be demagogic? ”

Zhu Ying first came to a straightforward and crooked reason, and Zhang Shou came to a new way to find the right reason - just the word attendant mentioned at the beginning, Zhang Shou seemed to have forgotten, and did not mention a word, so the emperor laughed heartily, but the rest of the people hated to have Zhang Shou to step on the ground 10,000 feet. Speaking half-way, this kind of person is the most hateful!

Confucius University didn't bother to care about the word attendant that Zhang Shou just said, whether it was to sell well to many civil and military officials, and simply completely pierced the window paper that had been pierced just now.

"With the strictness of the Qianqing Palace, there are still rebellious and unpredictable people like Liu Feng, who is in charge, let alone other places! The crown prince is about to be canonized, will there be no palace attendants around him in the future? This is to prevent the slightest slight, not limited to Ciqing Palace, but also ask the emperor to be aware of everything and understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers and others for the sake of the prince! ”

Zhu Ying just saw Zhang Shou playing casually there, but at this time, she saw that the problem came back again, and her eyebrows were upside down. But she was about to repeat what she had just said, but the emperor had already rushed ahead of her: "Yingying said just now, a scholar still needs a maid who can read with red sleeves and incense, and a servant who can read and write and read poetry, but the prince wants to use vulgar people?" ”

"Isn't it better for me to learn the lesson of Liu Feng in the Qianqing Palace, and from now on, it's best for the servants around me to be illiterate, so as not to bewitch me?"

The emperor borrowed his own words to ridicule everyone, Zhu Ying suddenly laughed brightly, but immediately after, Confucius scholar put on an extremely tough posture: "If the emperor is determined to use literate and hyphenated people, it is not impossible, but it needs to be loyal and filial piety, and memorize the "Book of Filial Piety" backwards!" As the old saying goes, seek loyalty to the door of filial piety, this is a wise saying! ”

"I have already said that Liu Feng is playing right and wrong in front of Shiro, what kind of celebrant abandons family affection and nostalgia, it is pure nonsense! Previously, I still remember that after the imperial history impeached Tengda, the master of ceremonies, he paid for a mansion outside to take his relatives into Beijing, and built a shrine in the township to repair the tomb and other things, at that time, no one said that family affection was difficult to give up, nostalgia was difficult to part, only that their generation was extravagant! ”

"So much so that the celebrant who ran two small mansions was directly deposed, and no one praised him for his filial piety at that time!"

Speaking of this, the emperor finally became impatient to continue the topic, and after squinting at the moment, he motioned for a chamberlain to ring the golden bell, and then said in a deep voice: "All in all, this matter is put aside, and we will talk about it after the crown prince is canonized!" However, since Zhu Qing has recommended them one by one, I will select ten people from them tomorrow, two people a day, and a round of lectures in the East Palace every five days. ”

"Okay, it's not too early, let's give a lecture!"

The emperor was determined to put this proposal aside, even if the Confucian scholars were extremely unwilling, but today's sharp spirit was repeatedly frustrated by Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou, and seeing that no one dared to come forward to support the proposal behind him, he couldn't help but be very depressed.

At this time, he couldn't help but hate the echo worm like Wu Ge Lao, and even more despised Zhang Yu, a new junior who was obviously junior but refused to follow him, a veteran. If the three members of the cabinet can be of one mind, why can he only rely on these literary attendants and Confucian scholars who participated in today's feast in a hurry?

And Zhang Shou completed the task of "helping" Zhu Ying, at this time, seeing that Confucius University was disheartened and returned to his original position, he and Zhu Ying whispered, and were about to retreat to their original queue, but they didn't expect the four princes above to suddenly rush over, and without saying a word, they grabbed his sleeve.

"Teacher, my father told you to come over and speak." After saying this, the fourth prince looked at Zhu Ying again, "Sister Yingying too." ”

Zhu Ying used to treat the emperor as half a father, but of course it didn't matter at this time, and stepped forward without hesitation. And Zhang Shou glanced at the left hand of the fourth prince holding his sleeve, coldly pinched the thin wrist, turned over and looked at the palm, and saw that the redness and swelling had receded a lot, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the four princes immediately retracted their hands, but they looked at Zhang Shou's left hand with some contempt, but they laughed at Zhang Shou.

"You're twice as much as me, and you're already safe, let alone me? The copied "Teacher Said" came back to me to see, I want to test you, whether you just copied it, or you understand it all. ”

"Read a book a hundred times, and you can see its righteousness, let alone copy." The fourth prince was right, and it wasn't until he followed Zhang Shou to the emperor that he whispered, "I voluntarily copied "Shi Shuo...... Teacher, my hands are almost swollen these days! ”

Seeing that the fourth prince was complaining to Zhang Shou pitifully, and learning that he had no hesitation when he had just spoken out to defend Zhang Shou, the emperor couldn't help but glance at the third prince with a face full of relief, and suddenly felt that his real father was really a little desolate.

All along, who has been defending the two of you little guys, so that one of you has been raised to be lawless and the other to be delicate and shy? It's good now, one or two have grown up, but they all keep saying that they only have teachers, and they forget about his father!

After eating, the emperor's mentality adjusted quite quickly, and at this time he had already begun to lecture, but he softly affirmed Zhu Ying's move to stand up for the three princes, and then looked at Zhang Shou and said: "Chapter Jiu, the drunkard's intention is not to drink, what did you just say about the East Palace attendants, what do you mean?" ”

"You must know that from those Lang officials in the Han Dynasty to the Sanwei and Qianniu in the Tang Dynasty, they all relied on the closest to the imperial front, so that they could get the moon close to the water and rise to 90,000 miles. However, the heavier the officials in the Han Dynasty, almost all the high-ranking officials of the two thousand stones came from them, while the Sanwei and Qianniu in the Tang Dynasty became lighter, so that they existed in name only. What kind of attendant are you, the East Palace? ”

"Moreover, you need to know that if this Eastern Palace attendant is selected from among the children of the official eunuchs, there is no doubt that the fairness of the imperial examination will be undermined. In the future, the children of the official eunuchs have already reached the East Palace before entering the official career, how can those so-called scholarly families be willing? Not to mention the best in the market and in the farms! ”

Zhu Ying didn't expect the emperor to summon Zhang Shou over, he really wanted to ask about business, even if the one who was lecturing at this time was quite talented and learned, and he spoke really well, she was still unconsciously distracted, for fear of being reprimanded by the emperor Zhang Shou.

"The emperor is right." Regarding the emperor's sharp question, Zhang Shou's answer was very simple, "Therefore, the emperor said before that he would choose ten people to lecture and take turns to enter the East Palace." And after the selection of the Nine Chapters Hall, the best attendants are also on duty, so can this attendant also be selected in this way? If you feel that it is unfair to only choose the children of the eunuchs, why not choose from the national eunuchs? ”

"Among the six halls, the Frank Hall is the first, so select a few or even more than a dozen people in the Frank Hall, and then listen to the lectures of the East Palace for half a month or even a month in the East Palace. First, someone listened to the lecture together, and the third prince and the fourth prince couldn't get tired in front of everyone, otherwise they would be disgraced and thrown out of the palace. Second, isn't this an opportunity to promote their moral talents? ”

"The most important thing is that perhaps in this way, the Guozijian can be revitalized, and the world may not treat the Guozijian as a chicken rib again. As long as the emperor asks the question, chooses a person with a strong point to personally invigilate the exam, and sends someone to patrol the field, why worry about others playing tricks? ”

"If you are afraid that there will be talents left behind in the other five halls, then it is okay to give one or two places to the other five halls. But if this is the case, if you don't want to favor one over the other, it is not impossible to give one or two places in the Mid-Levels Hall, after all, those are the children of official eunuchs. ”

If it weren't for the fact that the famous Confucian who was lecturing at this moment was speaking impassionedly, and the emperor had to smile and be a careful listener from time to time (in this regard, compared to when he was in power and refused to even look like a person, the emperor had made a lot of progress), he could have been amused by Zhang Shou's understatement at this moment.

However, he had to admit that when the Guozijian was already rotten to this point, maybe the idea was still feasible.

Even, when he and Lu Juan started a new public school and planned to educate more ordinary people, why couldn't Ciqing Palace do this? Isn't it very appropriate to choose the country's children to supervise the talents and teach them separately, not to mention what team to prepare for the third prince, at least so that he can get in touch with as many outstanding people as possible, so that he can understand his own depth?

If someone can stand out in this rotation, how can they not stand out in the field in the future?

Thinking of this, the emperor nodded with a smile and said: "The ideas of the nine chapters are often the sword to go sideways, but after tasting it carefully, I can only say one word - good!" ”

Seeing Zhu Ying standing beside the emperor, her beautiful eyes flowing, looking forward to Shenfei, the Shu brocade skirt complemented her body under the light, which was just golden and jade; Seeing that Zhang Shou was dressed in a green robe, elegant as bamboo, standing leisurely, occasionally talking and laughing with the emperor, calmly and without any crampedness; Even if countless people think that this pair is indeed made in heaven, they still can't help but look at it secretly.

Even the third prince and the fourth prince stood together at this time, and they couldn't help but look at the two frequently. But the fourth prince suddenly felt a pain in his stomach in an instant, and his face changed greatly at this time. He had the heart to persevere, but the abdominal pain hit like a wave, and he had no choice but to say to the third prince and ask him to confess to his father, and then fled to the small door behind him.

After rushing to the clean room like a rabbit, it only took him a short moment to relieve the burden of turning the river and the sea just now, and he came out refreshed, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he bumped into a person head-on. Seeing that the guy with the black face was Zhang Chen, he remembered what he had heard from the third prince before, and quickly stretched out his hand to stop the person.

"Zhang Chen, I heard that you secretly released Lu Gaoyuan and them in the Guozijian that day, but why did you sneak around and disappear afterwards?"

Zhang Chen stared at the left hand of the fourth prince a few more times, until the person seemed to be annoyed and angry, and then he said listlessly: "Do you need to talk about this?" Zhu Ying blocked the door of the celebrant It is said that the ancestral hall was closed at her house, and I helped her find out the head of the celebrant eunuch, of course, she was also locked up at home by my father and grounded. That day, I also secretly went to Guozijian to find a teacher to ask my father for a favor. ”

"Who knew it would happen like that! After I split the lock and released the person, I was carried back by the guards who chased me from home! ”

Speaking of this, the eldest son of the Duke of Qin sighed deeply, and became even more depressed for a while: "As a result, this matter was stabbed in front of my father, my father never cared about me, but this time he was furious, and said that you have been punished by the prince, and he has to take care of me, a rebel!" He did it himself, I haven't been able to get out of bed for days, and I can only leave today! ”
