Chapter 472: Admission and Promotion

Only got two questions right......

Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, when he really heard the result, the fourth prince was still pale. Even if he is young and always loves to pretend to be a little adult, he often says to the third prince who is afraid of cowering at every turn, how is a manly husband, but even if he repeatedly admonishes himself at this moment that his manly husband bleeds without tears, Jin Douzi is still about to hold back.

He's worked so hard, why is this the result? Hasn't he always been better than his brother?

Seeing the look of the fourth prince, Zhang Shou didn't know that the little guy was confused and aggrieved. However, at this time, even a thousand words of comfort were useless, unless he took the initiative to lower the threshold for admission, but in this way, the credibility of Jiuzhangtang would be greatly reduced. Therefore, he glanced at the three princes with shocked faces, and then said the admission criteria lightly.

"In the previous group interview, mutual assessment, those who answered one or more questions, or made more than three questions in the written test, can be admitted this time. Of course, in the eighth group, if you only make the question of the Four Princes and Ji Jiu, but fail to answer three questions in the written test, it will not be recognized. ”

Without waiting for anyone to raise objections, he said in a deep voice: "The reason is very simple, the question from the fourth prince is too simple for those who are interested in taking the Jiuzhang Hall. It's the same as Ji Jiu's question. ”

Although he had realized that the question just now had made him a score-giving boy, Zhang Shou's outspoken words were originally because he realized that he had not been admitted to Jiuzhangtang this time, so he was so sad that the four princes who wanted to cry were suddenly hurt even more. Especially when he saw that many people were peeking at him, and there were even some people with pity in their eyes, he almost exploded immediately.

And it wasn't until this moment that the third prince realized that he had entered the Jiuzhang Hall this time, but the fourth prince was unexpectedly defeated! Thinking that once the third prince loses the election, Zhang Shou vaguely pointed out that people's questions are too simple, which may be a big blow to his younger brother, who has always been impulsive but confident. Without even thinking about it, he made a decision on the spot.

"The questions I just came up with are not what I thought of myself...... When I was in Mid-Levels Hall, the teacher jokingly told everyone that I wrote it down! Except for the first question, I consulted Lu Zhaichang at the beginning, and later I consulted Mrs. Ge, the other questions...... Actually, I won't do it either! ”

After calmly telling the truth, the third prince simply continued to tell the truth: "I just had a blank mind and couldn't think of anything else, so I had the idea to come up with these questions...... The fourth brother actually remembers more problems than me, but he didn't show them to embarrass people, and I can't compare to his open-mindedness......"

Outside the Nine Chapters Hall, the emperor only felt that his mood was messy. The third prince obviously performed well, and he was about to enter the Jiuzhang Hall at that little age and realize his original wish. But the four princes were unexpectedly defeated, and listening to Zhang Shou's words, the defeat was not only because he only made two written test questions, but also because he was too hasty in the interview process.

He was already very entangled in such a result, but he was even more surprised that seeing that the fall of the fourth prince had become a foregone conclusion, the third prince actually stated that he did not come up with the topic himself, and tried his best to find a reason for his younger brother's defeat!

Just when he took a light breath, couldn't help but fold his hands, and urgently thought in his heart that he would let Zhang Shou accept the four princes at one time as the emperor or his father, or simply use the three princes' self-presentation to let Zhang Shou directly depose the three princes together, a scene he didn't expect happened.

"Say no more!"

Suddenly he interrupted the third prince with a roar, and the fourth prince said stiffly: "My skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say!" I'll take the exam again next year, third brother, you don't have to force me to find a reason! ”

When he turned around and ran out of the Jiuzhang Hall, the tears that had been well controlled just now finally burst out of his eyes, but he didn't realize that there were many more people outside than before. When he heard a familiar Shiro, he looked up and recognized it as his father, and his already pale face was no longer bloodless. The anger of being disgraced in front of his father overshadowed the grievance, and he almost did not hesitate to turn around and flee.

The emperor with an ugly face was about to chase after him, but then he saw a figure quickly rushing out of the Jiuzhang Hall, chasing after the direction of the four princes like a wisp of light smoke. Recognizing that it was Ah Liu, although the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he did not have to worry about the safety of the four princes, his heart was even more chaotic for a while.

Seeing that the four princes left these words and turned around and ran, in the Jiuzhang Hall, the three princes were stunned. He habitually wanted to turn around and chase after him, but suddenly only heard Zhang Shou smile and said: "The third prince just bluntly came up with the question, but it is sincere, it's just that you ask the other people present, how many people dare to say that the questions are all the problems that they have come up with over the years?" ”

Just as the proposers of various centuries' problems and conjectures are often great mathematicians, in China, since ancient times, the problems included by the compilers have actually been written by people who have considerable attainments in arithmetic.

Most of the people with such attainments disdain to apply for the Jiuzhang Hall because that would be counted as his disciple. And even if they do have a twitch in their heads...... cough cough, I applied for the exam on impulse, even if I posted the exam questions in the Shuntian Mansion before, and then did not perform well in the written test of the paper, I will emerge in the previous mutual question session.

It's a pity that Zhang Shou didn't find such a person just now, so he is sure that there is no such genius.

Sure enough, under the somewhat surprised gaze of the third prince, most people avoided his gaze, let alone insisted that it was all his own question just now. A small number of people who barely looked at each other with the three princes did not dare to say anything. So, when the little guy turned his head back, his face was full of confusion.

At this time, he only heard Zhang Shou speak: "The third prince, the fourth prince is not enough for the admission standard of the second phase of Jiuzhangtang, but you have already reached the standard, what are you going to do?" ”

"I ......" the three princes were speechless for a while. He wanted to say that he would give up too, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered the attitude of the fourth prince just now, he only felt that his head was empty, but he wanted to say that he didn't know what to do, and he felt that such an ambiguous answer didn't seem quite right. It took him a long moment before he shook his head vigorously.

"I ...... I want to enter the Nine Chapters...... I want to learn from my teachers. In the end, he raised his voice.

What kind of character is the third prince, not to mention that he has been an official in Beijing for a long time, and he has also witnessed how to learn Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye in the Guozi Prison, and even the newcomer Yue Shanchang also knows in advance. However, some of the words and deeds of the three princes during the interview just now were completely different from the young prince they thought they knew.

Even the emperor, hearing this clear statement at this time, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again in surprise.

With such a clear and unmistakable attitude, this is really unprecedented for his son who has always been weak and weak, as if anyone can bully him all of a sudden!

Zhang Shou was not surprised by the statement of the third prince. Although he had not been teaching the Three Princes for a long time in the Mid-Levels Hall, he could faintly perceive that compared to the four princes who were a little reckless, or reckless, the cowardice of the three princes was actually just a habit, because people subconsciously felt that others did not need a wise and decisive little prince.

What's more, the third prince needs to use such an image to drag down the fourth prince who is too bold and impulsive. As for the qualifications, the two brothers are about the same, and the defeat of the four princes today is not so much a loss in terms of level, but a loss in character.

"Okay, whether it's the interview or the on-the-spot written test afterward, you're impeccable, so you've been admitted." Zhang Shou didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him taking the three princes out alone to announce such a result, because judging from today's results, the three princes in the first group passed five levels and killed six generals, although there was some luck, but they were also quite skilled, and the results were actually very good.

And then, according to the standard he just announced, Zhang Shou calmly pointed out more than 30 names, accounting for three-quarters of the interview. And under such a clear standard, it was found that the four princes had all been deposed, and even the middle-aged examinee who was angry because of Zhang Shou's request to list equations and was now dethroned finally fell silent.

But at this moment, Zhang Shou suddenly spoke: "If any of you still plan to continue to take the Jiuzhangtang exam, you can be exempted from taking the next written exam." And if you have a hard time in the next year, then I suggest you go to a public school and become a teacher. Today's public schools have received large donations, and those who are willing to become teachers have a subsidy. ”

"Maybe such a subsidy may not be a lot, but you can have more free time to study my teacher's "New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic" by yourself, and you will no longer have such difficulties in facing equations as you do today. And ......"

Zhang Shou paused for a moment and directly threw out a bombshell: "Just like the promotion system of Guozijian, I plan to change the so-called first and second phases of Jiuzhangtang to the first, second, and third grades of Jiuzhangtang...... And so on. When the teacher finishes sorting out the whole new arithmetic system, then it can be roughly calculated how many grades it takes to learn the whole system. ”

"As long as the students who are admitted to Jiuzhangtang in the future, they can apply for the promotion test every quarter. In other words, you may enter the Jiuzhang Hall a year later than your current opponent because of today's momentary defeat, but as long as you continue to educate yourself, then, in another three months, you may be able to stand by your old opponent's side again. ”

"And as long as you make more progress, then you may surpass your old rival and become his senior brother. And if you don't want to be motivated, and your quarterly exam results are too poor, you can repeat the grade and relearn with your juniors. ”

At that moment, a lot of commotion broke out in the Jiuzhang Hall, and even among today's losers, many people became excited. And outside the Nine Chapters Hall, there was also an uproar in an instant!

Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye were shocked and angry, as if they saw the birth of a new system outside the six halls of Guozijian, and they regretted that they had taken it lightly when Zhang Shou wanted to recruit the second batch of students for Jiuzhangtang, although they did not support it, but they did not oppose it, so that now Zhang Shou is about to do it.

And outsiders like Yue Shanchang, although they realized that Zhang Shou had a great plan, felt that Zhang Shou's sudden introduction of such a system was actually not a breakthrough, but just moved the promotion system of Guozijian to Jiuzhangtang. However, when he saw the emperor with a haze on his face just now, and that face was clouded and foggy in an instant, he had to sigh that Zhang Shou was cunning.

Accept one prince and depose another, others are afraid that Zhang Shou will be said to be fair and selfless, but people have put down a hook!

As long as the new system just reached the ears of the four princes, people might regain their strength and catch up. No matter how far the four princes can learn in a year, next year Zhang Shou will be able to find a way to bring the four princes in, and then design a chance for people to upgrade, so that the two brothers can still be together.

How could Zhang Shou come up with such a method alone? This son is young and ambitious, not only is Ge Yong's disciple, but also favored by Zhu Ying, the daughter of the Zhao State Mansion, by virtue of his appearance and demeanor, how can all this be accidental?

Behind this fastest-rising young man, not only stood Zhu Jing, but also stood the old lady Ge Yong, who had dominated the position of the emperor for many years, and let his uncle, who was known as the erudite and talented, return to his hometown in defeat! This article and one martial arts have influenced today's son, and it seems that he still wants to influence the next generation of emperors!

"General!" In Ge's study, Ge Yong impatiently took the decisive step, and when he saw Chu Ying blowing his beard and glaring angrily, he clapped his hands triumphantly and said, "How is it?" I said that even if I stinked the chess basket, I would be better than you, right? ”

Without waiting for Chu Ying to turn his face, Qi Jingshan, who was always watching chess and was silent, coughed and said: "Today, the second phase of Jiuzhangtang enrollment, you two are really so calm, don't you go to join in the fun?" ”

"There's Zhang Shou!" Ge Yong and Chu Ying burst out four words in unison, and then glared at each other. Immediately after, Ge Yongcai smiled and said, "That kid is a thief and a thief, only people who don't know him will think that he is relying on me or Zhu Jing's kid to make things happen...... I'm not worried about him at all anyway! ”

"yes, yes, you're not worried." Chu Ying smiled and revealed mercilessly, "If you don't worry, who sent someone to Guozijian to inquire about the results?" ”

"Is that called inquiry? The people I sent out were deaf and dumb, and it was just a good look! Ge Yong's dead duck was hard-mouthed, and he wanted to continue to deny it, but under the gaze of Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan's four eyes, he finally said stupidly, "He's my closed disciple, I can't ignore it......"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock on the door. Immediately after, the door of the study was pushed open, followed by a dumb servant who Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan were most familiar with. However, before the dumb servant could make his words clear, two more people broke in, to be precise, it was Ah Liu, who was dancing with a bear child in the crook of his arm!

Seeing this scene, Ge Yong was slightly stunned, and then asked with a strange face: "Ah Liu, why did you tie up the fourth prince?" ”
