Although many prisoners hoped that the ranking of the candidates who participated in the selection of the attendants of the East Palace would not spread this time, because it was too embarrassing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally came to the Guozijian and admonished the teachers and students who were in a commotion in public, and then said such resounding words in front of the many scholars who rushed to see the excitement after hearing the news.

In addition to the topic of ranking, which is a topic that attracts people's attention, the biggest topic is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

Encouraging people not to think of the attendants of the East Palace, but to focus on the right path of the imperial examination, which is the central meaning that most officials think the three princes want to express. However, none of the high-ranking officials with a higher level and a more long-term vision will see it so simply, including Confucius scholars, from the examination questions expressed by the three princes to select the attendants of the East Palace in the future, we can see the determination to be eclectic.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only encouraged most of the people not to regard the East Palace attendants as the first to get the moon near the water, so he went to the end to grab a way out with a group of prison students, but also warned the prison students that the East Palace attendants did not need people who were only good at making art and writing, and it sounded as if the East Palace attendants were more inclined to miscellaneous studies. In this way, it is perfectly distinguished from the Jinshi who was born in the science field.

This is certainly a somewhat alarming sign, but the problem is that the attendants of the East Palace have no grade, and they are not for life, and now they are in a three-month rotation, and they don't need the court to pay for it, and they don't need the court to help with the selection - the two idlers in the minds of the court officials are not counted - what else can they say?

As for this wave of turmoil, many prisoners in the Guozi Prison actually ended their studies and left the prison in a panic, and then went to the Ministry of Officials to wait for the selection, that is another matter.

Within a day, it is said that the Guozijian approved the release of more than 600 prisoners, which is probably another peculiar phenomenon after the people who were previously eligible to enter the prison sharpened their heads and ran away to the Guozijian.

Under such a turmoil, Jiuzhangtang's first public class after moving from Guozijian to the public school seemed to be much quieter, because people's attention was all attracted by the turmoil of Guozijian.

Among the astronomical and mathematical talents who were called to Beijing this time, among the people who went to Beijing to take the exam, especially among the celebrities who went to Beijing after the three mountain chiefs served as the attendants of the East Palace, this matter still has a great priority, and I don't know how many people are gearing up to register the invitation to take a look.

Especially those who are qualified to see the "automatic boat" at the Wenhua Hall banquet, they are very curious about what kind of things Zhang Shou will come up with this time. As a result, on the day of the registration of the name and place of origin of the public school, the 200 invitations distributed were snatched up in a moment.

So, early in the morning of the open class, the public school in the outer city, which occupies a huge area, ushered in the strictest protection. Zhu Tingfang directly sent two-thirds of the soldiers and horses of the Nancheng Division out without reservation, casting nets everywhere in the outer city, and all kinds of suspicious people were caught directly, while the generals of the Zhao State Mansion were roaming around near the public school in case of emergency.

The ones who were really responsible for maintaining order at the scene, except for the remaining one-third of the men and horses of the Nancheng Terracotta Division, were the royal attendants led by Hua Qi, who had just taken office.

The fifty or sixty imperial attendants, who had gone from formal to apprenticeship, entered the public school with invitations that looked exactly like the others, like colored sand mixed in the desert, and their eyes were all vigilantly staring at the flow of people around them. Thinking of Hua Qi's words in the morning, many people still feel a faint sense of superiority. After all, many people who read this invitation today have never gotten it.

"Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also bring many lecturers to come in person, which is a rare big event. If it's just for defense, then you don't need this invitation at all, but because the imperial attendants are never illiterate, you can listen to the lectures with many scholars, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

"Because you may be able to understand better than some of the readers!"

The eunuchs were not allowed to be literate, and their status was rigidly tied to the most humble group, so that they would not abuse power, which was the inherent understanding of some emperors when they thought that they had fully learned the lessons of the previous dynasty and set the rules in the palace.

However, the literacy rate of high-ranking eunuch groups tends to increase as the dynasty continues—of course, a pigtailed dynasty whose literacy rate has turned back history is not in this range. Besides, among the eunuchs who are not very literate or not highly educated, there will also be strange things like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, which shows that the emperor's reliance on eunuchs has nothing to do with the literacy rate.

Therefore, in the early years of this dynasty, when Emperor Taizu formulated the rules, he only strictly limited the number of eunuchs and the grade of eunuchs, and as for those who were from the palace, they did not want any of them, and they were all sent to Tuntian, Liaodong, but he did not restrict the literacy of eunuchs. On the contrary, with the promotion of Wang An, the celebrant of ceremonies, even those Tsing Yi miscellaneous servants in the Outer Imperial City, the literacy rate is quite high.

As for the royal attendants, they naturally read more books than ordinary miscellaneous servants, and even many of them can memorize one or two paragraphs of various scriptures and histories. Not only do they have a lot of endorsements, but they also have a lot of miscellaneous books, such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", which is not very learned by people outside the palace, and they have also memorized a few paragraphs.

Just the back, of course. If the reading qualifications are really so good, then of course they will not take the road of fighting and killing the royal guards. With two paragraphs on his back, a reader who pretends to know a little bit of scripture calculation has a rather confusing effect when he goes out on a task.

After all, sometimes when they go out, it is to intercept some important account books, if they get something, but they can't understand it, they lose the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds, how can they complete the task?

At this moment, mingle in the crowd to beware of those who may have bad intentions, they wrap their necks around their necks to cover the changes in the Adam's apple, and even use falsetto to discuss some academic issues with others. A certain imperial attendant snorted contemptuously when a few of the surrounding people talked about the demonstration in the Wenhua Hall that was simply a demon method.

Seeing that people were glaring at him, he sneered disdainfully: "When Bachelor Zhang was in the Wenhua Palace, he refuted a certain bachelor who shouted that this was a demon law, but I didn't expect that there would be an ignorant person like you mixed in today, it's just blind to this invitation!" ”

After scolding, the young imperial attendant actually seriously broke up some principles that Zhang Shou had talked about in public - the principle of automatic sailing, Zhang Shou of course explained it to the three princes in detail, and the three princes returned to the Qianqing Palace and told the emperor the original, and the emperor ordered someone to record it, and the celebrant also had a corresponding backup.

And Chu Kuan, who had not yet been "pushed" to Ciqing Palace to serve the prince's pen and ink at that time, gave this note, along with various old and new works of Zhang Shou that he bought in Lu Sanlang's bookstore, to the imperial attendants a copy. During the interval between practice on weekdays, they would also take a look, which was regarded as a leisure activity outside of training, although when they watched it at that time, they all had a bitter face.

It's impossible to learn to understand it on their own, but it's something they're used to memorizing a few paragraphs and filling up the façade when they need it in the future. So, Hua Qi, who was also mixed in the crowd, saw that this imperial attendant was stunned for a moment, especially the guy who was shouting about the demon law just now, his face was flushed, but he couldn't refute it, he couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of which, Ah Liu's kung fu is much stronger than these people, but when it comes to professionalism on this occasion, Ah Liu can't even match it...... Of course, he couldn't catch up, after all, he had never been a royal attendant.

Hey, I think he really followed Emperor Ruizong's northern expedition to fight at the beginning, who let him scout be a good person and enter the eyes of Emperor Ruizong? Later, when he stopped fighting, his scout skills gradually became useless, so he was developed by Emperor Ruizong and today's son to use other purposes, and it was also a bitter tear to say......

Just when Hua Qi was mixed in the crowd, reflecting on how his education of Ah Liu had deviated from the right track over the years, and Zhang Shou hadn't corrected it properly, he heard a lot of noise outside.

Knowing that the third prince and the crown prince came with those East Palace lectures, of course, the fourth prince will definitely come with him, so he continued to hide in the crowd with great interest, waiting to see Zhang Shou's reaction.

Anyway, when he came here that day, he simply forgot about it...... As for the special notification later, of course it is impossible, how can he be so idle?

And Zhang Shou's reaction Hua Qi didn't see it at all, because Zhang Shou was nowhere to be seen at all. With a burst of shouting, a large number of people poured out, and when they began to maintain order gently but toughly, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Shou was not the commander of the light pole, and some of the people were students who could be called.

At this moment, Lu Sanlang, Ji Jiu, Zhang Datou, and the three elders who were wandering outside before directing the other students to organize did not wander outside, and immediately entered the largest lecture hall in the public school.

Regarding the request of someone who wanted to stay and take a closer look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lu Saburo replied with a smile and entered the lecture hall for a while, and the third prince would appear in the most conspicuous position, and anyone could see it; Ji Jiu's answer was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would personally take the stage to speak when he turned around; As for Zhang Da, this son of Xiangyang Bo is much simpler and rude, and direct exit is a threat.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is golden and noble, in case he bumps into something because of the crowd, who will be responsible? If you want to see His Royal Highness the Prince, it is simple and hard to study, either you must be admitted to the East Palace attendant, or you will be admitted to the Jinshi and go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lecture in the East Palace in the future! ”

"What's the point of just tiptoeing to see what, if you really have ambition, you will stand in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future!"

But don't say it, Zhang Datou's words are really more effective than Lu Sanlang and Ji Jiu's gentle and drizzly persuasion.

Soon, these three people brought the students of Jiuzhangtang and Banshan Hall into the lecture hall. As someone shouted that the invitations were marked with seat numbers and needed to be seated, it was a mess, but as two little clever ghosts came out with a group of very young students from the public school to maintain it, it was quickly orderly again.

"Eight rows and one? If you see it, you are at the top of the side, go inside, one person and one invitation, and check your seat number by yourself! ”

"Why on the very edge? This old man, I know that you have a meritorious reputation, you don't have to say it upside down! The seat number has already been written on the invitation, and you forgot that when you came to register before, you took the invitation card in the box casually? ”

"Yes, that's right, in order to avoid first-come, first-come, or other factors that people complain that the seats are not good enough, etc., that's why you use a lottery to draw invitations, you are unlucky, who is to blame?"

Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng were in the same gear, they were already young and had a crisp voice, but as soon as they said it at this time, the people who were originally complaining or finding fault found that others were looking at them, and they could only swallow their anger and sit down for a while. While the two of them were busy, they also instructed the children who acted as "volunteers" in the lecture hall how to help people find seats faster and efficiently.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, but anyone who has stayed with Zhang Shou for a period of time is really a righteous and intimidating virtue!

The matter of the prince's arrival today, because the emperor specially instructed the third prince to keep it secret in advance, so that no one should know about it after outsiders get the news-but in this unknowable situation, Lu Sanlang and the others were able to calmly open their eyes and talk nonsense, and all the seats were arranged, isn't this fooling people?

Hua Qiyi came in and found that the lecture hall was full of stools, the only difference was that each stool was engraved with three numbers, which could seat three people. And from the first row to the last row, all of them are set up like this, there is no difference, and he can't see that there are VIP seats reserved for the three princes in advance that can be seen by the whole audience.

Unless it's ...... On that high podium! He looked up, and sure enough, there was a row of chairs not far behind the side of the podium!

Soon, he heard a loud voice, it was Lu Sanlang: "Okay, everyone who has found a seat is seated, Lu Saijiu and Liu Duanyin have already welcomed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructed, this time is different from the past, there is no need to greet each other, everything is simple, if you want to show respect, the prince can get up and bow his head after he comes in! ”

The crowd that was still complaining or complaining just now fell silent in an instant. However, it is inevitable that some people will secretly mutter, why are only Liu Zhiyuan and Lu Juan going to greet the crown prince and Zhang Shouren? However, with the appearance of the three princes and their entourage, everyone stood up to greet each other, and in the excitement and excitement, they forgot about today's real protagonist Zhang Shou.

And although Lu Juan and Liu Zhiyuan guessed that the third prince, the crown prince, might come, they didn't get the letter in advance, and Zhang Shou treated him with a normal heart, and they didn't want to overstep their bounds. But when they went to pick up people, they found that Zhang Shou was not there, and they were shocked.

Lu Xuan, who is most familiar with Zhang Shou, has the biggest thought in his heart that Bachelor Zhang, who seems to be a handsome and elegant immortal, is going to do something again! Sure enough, when he saw the third prince gently opening his mouth and ordering everyone to sit down, his big fat son ran forward at a trot, but said with a smile on his face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you and you are on the podium to speak. In addition, the teacher is going to demonstrate the experiment in public today, so I have to bother you to be an assistant! ”
