When Jiu Niang hurried to the foot of the Tianxia Taiping Building on Qipan Street, the one-sided debate that took place here had ended. However, the onlookers watching the excitement downstairs did not disperse, and some people were talking about the words they had just heard. Especially Zhu Ying's three words of old man Jiang, which have become the words on the lips of countless people.

At least, Jiuniang heard various mantras in the crowd, such as "Death does not repent of Old Man Jiang", "Flattery bullies Old Man Jiang", "Good people can bully Old Man Jiang", "The prince is not guilty of Old Man Jiang", "Old Man Jiang with no mouth cannon" and so on. I think people think that the law does not hold the public accountable...... Could it be that the first assistant Jiang Ge Lao could send troops to arrest all the people on the street because of the three words of this old man Jiang?

Hearing someone say that it was Zhu Ying's original words, even if she and Mrs. Tai had said in front of Lu Sanlang before that they were in favor of Zhu Ying coming forward to make trouble, she couldn't help but have a headache at this time. This is even more fierce than she imagined!

At this moment, she heard the shouting of a passer-by next to her: "I only knew that Miss Zhu was powerful and fierce in beating, but I didn't expect that scolding people would be so powerful!" Those few scholars were scolded so much that they finally hid their faces and left, hugging their heads and running away, but Miss Zhu didn't leave, and swaggered upstairs to entertain guests! I heard that just now, Princess Yongping also came! ”

Before Jiu Niang could speak, the escort next to her who led the way coughed, and then pretended to be curious and asked, "Then besides Princess Yongping, are there other guests?" ”

"There are also Princess Deyang, the county lord of Xinyang, the county lord of Ninghe, and the daughter of Liu Shilang's family in the Ministry of Industry......"

Hearing this, Jiu Niang suddenly understood everything, except for Princess Yongping, aren't they all the future daughters-in-law of Zhang Shou's group of students? Princess Deyang is Zhang Wu's fiancée, the county lord of Xinyang is Zhang Lu's fiancée, and the county lord of Ninghe is the fiancée of Zhao Mingxiang, the prince of the governor, as for Liu Qing, the daughter of Liu Shilang? It was Lu Saburo's fiancée. Zhu Ying: Is this practicing how to be a teacher's wife?

Such a bunch of unmarried daughters who are obviously their own small circle gathered together and said that Zhu Ying didn't mean it, who would believe it! If she guessed correctly, Zhu Ying's original designed scene should be to shout out some words after everyone has arrived, rather than going toe-to-toe with a group of scholars alone before everyone arrives. It can be seen that Zhu Ying is impulsive again......

thought so in her heart, but Jiu Niang was already sure that Zhu Ying didn't need to worry about it at all at this moment. When she escaped into Buddhism, Zhu Ying also took good care of herself - even if she had her grandmother, father and brother, the Queen Mother and the Emperor Concubine Yu to take care of her, but if she didn't have a strong heart, it would be impossible for her to grow into what she is now.

So, Jiu Niang dismissed her plan to go upstairs or send someone upstairs to see Zhu Ying, and glanced at the guard who asked at the beginning, and the two quietly withdrew from the crowd. And when the three masters and servants returned to the small teahouse before, the guards who had just been sent out had already rushed back.

Because it was set for half an hour, everyone rushed back with a sense of time, but what they didn't expect was that they were back, but the hostess was gone! Thinking of the eldest lady who didn't know what to do there, if it wasn't for Jiu Niang who left a message for them when she left, at this time the people finally rushed back, and everyone was almost crazy enough to hit the wall.

Lost the master who was going to be guarded, is there a guard like them?

With such twists and turns, when Jiuniang entered the palace from Bei'anmen in the imperial city, it was already past the meal. Fortunately, everyone had used refreshments in the teahouse to fill the lunch, and they were not hungry at this time, and when Jiuniang arrived in front of the main hall of Concubine Yu's Yonghe Palace, she saw that the dining table had just been removed. And what surprised her even more was the person who came out behind the dining table...... It turned out to be the emperor!

Since the change of incense seventeen years ago, Jiuniang has not seen the emperor - first, there is a difference between men and women, and second, she and Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing have been awkward for so many years, and then she returned home, but she has only entered the palace to Qingning Palace a handful of times, and every time it is with Mrs. Tai, Yonghe Palace does not come much, as if it was because of the old things and Concubine Yu were estranged.

At this moment, she didn't know what her expression should be, but when she bowed her head and curtsied, she found that the emperor actually walked straight towards her, and finally the black boots stopped four or five paces away from her.

"Sometimes it's really funny for me to think about it, all my children are added together, and probably not as bold as Yingying alone. Her courage is beyond the reach of men. ”

Jiu Niang's nervous and wary thoughts were all lost because of the emperor's words, and when she raised her head, she saw that the emperor had gradually drifted away surrounded by several chamberlains and palace people. Realizing that the emperor probably already knew what was happening in the Taipinglou of the world—it was impossible not to know, it was the royal property—she felt calm.

Anyway, Zhu Ying has been this temperament since she was a child, and she is troublesome with the yin behind her, as long as she can, then she will directly grab it!

When Jiuniang entered Yonghe Palace to see Concubine Yu, in the Daming Public School outside, the freshly baked Lu Sacrificial Wine, which had only been a few months old, also got the news of the one-sided polemic on the Taiping Tower of the World on Qipan Street. As for the messengers...... It was Lu Saburo. On the one hand, he went to deliver a letter to the Zhu family in person, and on the other hand, he sent someone to follow Zhu Ying quietly, so he got the news as soon as he left the Zhu family and rushed over.

In other words, if Jiu Niang didn't have an excuse to go to see Concubine Yu and part ways with others, she could have caught up with that polemic.

And the little fat man was only moved by Zhu Ying's tough attitude, so he came to report a letter to his father, and immediately ran away after reporting the letter, and when Lu Juan came back to his senses and wanted to ask for details, the person had already disappeared. For this fat son who doesn't keep his hands, he has always had no way to do much, and he knows that if people can come to inform him about this matter, it will already be very filial.

It's just that Zhu Ying made a fuss today, and he had already thought of the consequences. I'm afraid that in the mind of that really stubborn Jiang Ge elder, he is probably already a traitor. At the critical moment, he hung up the crown and begged to go, withdrew, but he found a place to regress like the public school, he wanted to claim that he had not reached a compromise and reconciliation with the Zhu family, would people believe it?

Originally, he also reached a tacit understanding with the Zhu family...... Otherwise, those royal histories who charged into battle were about to be cut clean like mowing grass, would he, the military secretary who had instigated behind his back, be so carefree? Of course, if he and Jiang Ge Lao continue to hold together, it is not that he does not have the capital to confront the Zhu family, but the enemy this time is not Zhu Jing in the first place.

"Da Sicheng!"

Hearing the shouts from outside, and seeing a young man rushing in in a hurry, Lu Xuan's face suddenly sank: "I've said it a few times." The public school is not a national eunuch, and I am not a great secretary! ”

"Yes, Da Sicheng." The young man replied habitually, and then said embarrassedly, "The student knows, but it's called like this outside, and I can't change my mouth for a while, and I used to call it in Guozijian before...... Just now, Jiang Ge Lao sent someone over, saying that there was something important and told you Da Sicheng, I forgot your instructions for a while. Someone said that Jiang Ge invited you to go to your home for a while! ”

Lu Qian suddenly raised his eyebrows, and then fell silent.

He is in his early fifties this year, according to the Taizu system, he was born as a Jinshi and other Jinshi for a year of Hanlin, focusing on learning the imperial court laws and various systems, and then tried the imperial history in the Imperial Court for a year (of course, there are also people who go to the sixth), and the foreign appointment is the county order for three years, and then returned to the dynasty to supervise the imperial history of Zhejiang Province, the imperial history of the Dao, and then went out of Gansu to serve as a military garrison, and was appointed to be the governor of Shanxi for two terms.

When he had accumulated enough pro-people official qualifications and finally returned to the court, he was promoted to the head of the military department, and three years later he became the main hall of the military department.

In terms of age, at the age of twenty-five, he is much luckier than many middle-aged people who have just entered the official career, and he has enough time to hone his qualifications. In the 26 years since he became a sergeant, he has not transferred many official positions, and most of them have served in one official position for six years. If he hadn't been young, he might have retired a long time ago.

Therefore, he has saved enough qualifications before entering the cabinet, and he is waiting for the day when a university scholar will be added to complete the last step of Xuanma's worship of the prime minister. However, unfortunately, he is a protégé of Jiang Ge Lao, and Jiang Ge Lao has intervened at many critical moments of official transfers. So, when Zhu Jing reversed the unfavorable situation and returned to Beijing in triumph, he, the secretary of the military department, also fell into an embarrassing situation.

After weighing the pros and cons, he accepted the suggestion made by his son Lu Saburo—although he knew that the suggestion was definitely not made by his clever but almost hot fat son—and retreated bravely, directly handing over the position of the secretary of the military department. In his opinion, this is better than standing up to the end, but being cut off by Jiang Ge Lao to survive, and it is also better than being ousted by the emperor.

However, as soon as his story of knowing his mistakes and being able to correct them spread, coupled with the fact that the public school was in full swing, it immediately ushered in a strong backlash from Jiang Gelao.

For example, Lu Sanlang relayed the polemic between Zhu Ying and several scholars, if it weren't for the acquiescence of Jiang Gelao, the encouragement and even instigation of his protégé, someone would dare to take out his prohibition that is not a new thing?

He has already done his best to be very benevolent and righteous, and he has never made it clear that it was Jiang Ge Lao who instructed him behind his back, and he once sent process money after those imperial histories were moved to the left, how could he be like Jiang Ge Lao, who just sent someone to encourage him indifferently, and didn't pay a penny?

This old man, who has been the first assistant for many years, boasts of having a clean breeze on his sleeves, but he doesn't know how much money his grandson has squandered outside, and he still has no complaints when he is an official at all? Now because he wants to protect himself, but he still wants to hold on to him, and want to use him as a target to continue to show Weide?

At this moment, seeing that the young man who had just come in and hurriedly passed the word kept glancing at himself, Lu Juan said lightly: "The person is gone, or is he outside?" ”

The young man hurriedly said respectfully, "He passed the word and left." ”

"Huh." Lu Juan let out a laugh of unknown meaning, and then said to the young man gently, "This public school, there is a door to welcome guests, and there is a ceremony to pass on the message, how can it be worth running in person?" You must know that you are a prisoner of Jiuzhangtang, and you are temporarily transferred to a public school to teach Jiuzhang arithmetic...... Judging by my memory, I should be teaching Ge's arithmetic. You have to think of yourself as a teacher, as a gentleman. ”

Seeing that Lu Saburo recommended him, the young prisoner from Jiuzhangtang was stunned at first, and then showed an expression of excitement and some emotion, and the long-standing Lu Saijiu took out an even more heart-warming attitude.

"In the future, if someone asks you to do this thing, you will refuse directly, and you will be a teacher, not an errand for these people!" Lu Juan said as he patted the person on the shoulder affectionately, and encouraged, "Some of you in Jiuzhangtang have rotated to Wang Zongxian for internship, and some people have come to me to teach, and you want me to say that there are too few people in the first phase of Jiuzhangtang, and they are not enough." You have a bright future! ”

Seeing that Lu Juan's attitude was so sincere, the young prisoner from Jiuzhangtang almost didn't shed tears, and hurriedly bowed down. But after he retreated and walked out two steps, he couldn't help but stop, and asked in a ghostly manner: "Old Jiang Ge, are you still going?" ”

"I'm no longer a court official, this public school sacrificial wine has no grade, and others respect me for three points, because I used to be a secretary of the military department in the past, so the so-called important matter of Jiang Ge Lao really looks up to me." Lu Juan didn't seem to care about the young prisoner's extra question, but said very patiently and meticulously, "So, I will send someone to say that I won't go." ”

The young prisoner was stunned at first, but after hesitating for a while, he whispered, "Is it because of those rumors outside...... But you've done enough, could it be that Elder Jiang Ge still refuses to give up? ”

It seems that knowing mistakes can change Lu Shangshu, and the rumors that he will not repent of Jiang Ge Lao are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Lu Qian sighed secretly in his heart, but his words were very tactful: "You are a teacher in the public school, but you are still a student in the Jiuzhangtang of Guozijian, you can't speculate on your own, you have a bad heart." Don't think too much about these miscellaneous things, so as not to cause distractions. In the past few days, several famous teachers I have invited are coming soon, you are the grandson of Ge's disciple, cheer up and help me receive them well, it will help you......"

In a few words, he appeased this young prisoner who was as tender as a green onion, completely incomprehensible to the world, different from some old fritters in Jiuzhangtang, seeing that people were grateful, Lu Juan sighed silently that it was good to be young, and then began to think about whether the people he invited would come. The public school is still in the preparatory stage, so he did not recruit students according to the primary and secondary schools that Zhang Shou said.

In the case that the number of teachers is far from sufficient, he is more likely to teach voluntarily through his son Lu Saburo and some students in the Mid-Levels Hall, and the students he teaches are those children in the capital who are not enough to afford private school, but they are really working hard. As for how these people are selected, one entrance exam is enough, and as for the papers, they are also approved by the inmates of Jiuzhangtang.

From this point of view, the group of people personally selected by Zhang Shou of Jiuzhangtang is indeed much stronger than the students of the other halls of Guozijian in terms of obedience, discipline, and self-motivation! However, the famous teacher still had to be invited, and he believed that someone had been waiting for this day for a long time.

As for Jiang Ge Lao, he sent someone to invite him but left without listening to the response, thinking that he was still the protégé who came and went as soon as he was recruited?

In the evening, when Jiang Ge Lao, who returned home, learned that Lu Juan had sent someone to send a letter, euphemistically saying that he was not in his position and did not seek his own government, and it was inconvenient for him to discuss anything important with the head of the court, his originally gloomy face suddenly rained heavily. When he arrived in the study, he saw several staff members getting up one after another, and he burst out with a sentence.

"Since the Zhu family doesn't even want a face, what's polite? I don't believe that Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou can bear it! ”
