The third prince leaked the news as if he had no intention, which directly caused Ji Jiu and Zhang Datou to ignore Zhu Ying's famous reputation, and bowed down and submitted their resignation, the reason was to go back to Wenshu quickly, otherwise the branch trial would be worrying. As for what I have seen, heard, and done today, I absolutely dare not disclose half a word.

Since people have sworn by such a curse, Zhu Ying originally kept people on a whim, and she was not afraid of leaking the news at all, so she asked the four of them to leave a letter of guarantee immediately, and then let them go with a wave of her hand. But as soon as the people left, the more she thought about it, the more she wondered, so she simply asked someone to send a letter to Zhang Shou. Not long after, she learned that Zhang Shou, who had already finished taking a bath, went to Daoxiang Village to see the third and fourth princes.

"So, is it the third prince that you lied about the military situation and scared people away?"

After listening to the excited whistleblower of the fourth prince, Zhang Shou was so angry and funny, looking up and down at the third prince who had always thought he was honest and well-behaved. Sure enough, under his gaze, the third prince soon couldn't bear it, and he drooped his head for a while and said: "I heard them say that Xu Jiancheng made a question, so I thought it was funny for a while, so I broke my father's question." ”

The fourth prince also immediately coaxed: "That's it, they don't have to work themselves, they always think about this and that, and the third brother also wants to cure them for a while!" I heard that it was my father who made the question, of course they didn't dare to make small calculations anymore! ”

Regardless of whether it seems to be a well-behaved and flexible one, this is actually two underwhelming bear children! At a young age, they dared to casually arrange their father behind their backs, what would they dare to do when they grew up? Plus yesterday, he has actually beaten twice, but I have to say that these two little guys are more only emperors and fathers, rather than monarchs.

After all, aren't they all used to by the emperor? But if you get used to it, if you don't pay attention, something big will happen!

Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, and his face was already stiff. Seeing his tiger face, the third prince was the first to feel that something was wrong, and the fourth prince, who was not in trouble this time, still hadn't woken up, until he was dragged hard by the third prince, and his hair was still wet, he glanced at Zhang Shou with a flat face, and then quickly stood up honestly, but his eyes were still rolling around.

However, this time, Zhang Shou didn't plan to overstep his responsibilities - the teacher manages the students, once or twice, it's no problem, and it's okay to do it three times or five times, but it doesn't involve academics and conduct, but the student's father, and he still throws it back and lets that father worry about it! Therefore, he smiled and said lightly: "Hurry up and let people dry their hair, don't catch a cold!" ”

"It's just that Ji Jiu and the others have returned to the city, and the news will definitely spread, and I have to immediately write to your father."

Seeing that Zhang Shou didn't reprimand him, the third prince first breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that he was going to inform the emperor, he was shocked. The fourth prince originally thought that his brother had just made a small mistake, and at most he was disciplined like himself, but when he heard that he was going to tell his father, he was also startled, and without waiting for Zhang Shou to turn around and walk out, he immediately rushed forward and opened his hands to block the front.

"Teacher, third brother, he didn't mean it...... He...... By the way, he decided to play a joke on them because he heard me muttering about how these guys are everywhere...... Yes, that's it! ”

Seeing that the four princes who were in a hurry took care of everything, took care of everything, and held their heads high and looked ready to be heroic at any time, Zhang Shou didn't know what was going on. Sure enough, the next moment, the third prince immediately rushed up, dragged the fourth prince behind him, and then honestly lowered his head.

"Teacher, don't listen to the fourth brother's nonsense, it has nothing to do with him, it's just me making it up on a whim."

He was a few months older than the Fourth Prince, and although he usually looked very low-key in the Mid-Levels Hall most of the time, at this time he had forgotten that little pride, and vaguely realized that he seemed to have done something wrong. Seeing that Zhang Shou shook his head and sighed, he actually bypassed the four princes and walked straight out, he didn't know where he got the courage, so he suddenly chased after him and grabbed Zhang Shou's sleeve.

"Teacher, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't use the name of my father to scare people...... But if I don't, they'll definitely still be pestering you and Sister Yingying! We...... It's hard for us to go out of the city once, and I don't want those impure minds to snoop around and inquire every time, which is no different from being in the palace or in the Mid-Levels Hall! ”

Zhang Shou suddenly stopped, and when he turned around and saw the fourth prince with a surprised face, he immediately seemed to be planning to echo the third prince, he unconsciously relented, turned to face the two of them, and asked unhurriedly: "Then have you thought about it, if you look back and find that the half-mountain hall branch exam is not the emperor's question, but Xu Jiancheng, what will others think?" ”

"Those who are shallow-minded think that you are playing tricks; Those who are deeper in their hearts think that I have warned those who are scheming through your mouths; If you think a little deeper, you can't help but wonder if you or I have some other intentions, and then dig deep into the non-existent conspiracy. As for Xu Jiancheng, who was originally carrying the black pot for me, where is he? ”

Although the third prince and the fourth prince are young, they are well protected by the emperor, and they have not experienced too many conspiracies and calculations, which is true, but naivety does not mean that they really don't understand anything, not to mention that both of them are smart and dexterous, and at this time, they were taught a lesson so clearly by Zhang Shou, and they realized how troublesome it was after the news got out.

Especially when I spoke before, I just hope that this outing can be simpler and purer...... The more interesting third prince, his brows have completely frowned! At this moment, he heard Zhu Ying's voice outside.

"What a big deal I should be! Ah Shou, it's really wrong for San Lang to talk about it today, but this matter is easy to solve. The papers of the branch exam are still for Xu Heizi to come out, but wouldn't it be good to ask the emperor to come up with a few questions in person? ”

With this crisp voice, Zhu Ying strode in. Zhan Jin and Liuyin behind her were holding two soft towels in their hands, and she directly took these two soft towels and covered them with the third prince and the fourth prince, and waited until the two of them were busy taking over and wiping their hair, then she looked at Zhang Shou and said: "With the emperor's temper, this kind of thing will definitely be agreed." ”

"Even if my father agreed, that wasn't the reason for me to talk nonsense before."

Without waiting for Zhang Shou to speak, the third prince drooped his head, and still whispered, "I shouldn't talk casually in front of people...... Even if my father really planned to do this, I should keep my mouth shut. The teacher just taught me and my fourth brother yesterday that we can't leak the forbidden Chinese, it's true that I don't know how to be cautious, and I will cause trouble for my father and cause trouble for the teacher......"

Seeing that the fourth prince was looking at him with blank eyes, as if he hoped that he could correct his mistakes with the third prince, Zhang Shou stepped forward, copied the big soft towel in the third prince's hand, and helped him wipe his wet hair.

When he touched it with his hand and felt that the hair was half dry, he didn't pay attention to the third prince with messy hair, dropped the soft towel, and dried the soft hair of the fourth prince, so he threw the soft towel casually, and said with a smile: "Actually, I can pretend that I don't know anything in front of my face, and tell the emperor directly behind my back." ”

Can it be like this?

The third prince and the fourth prince were shocked at first, but after thinking about it, compared with some of their experiences in the palace, the two of them gradually understood what Zhang Shou meant. And Zhang Shou took the comb handed by Zhu Ying, combed it for the third prince casually, and then said with a smile: "Around you, there are many pairs of eyes. When you make mistakes, some will speak out, and others will not. ”

"And when you make mistakes, you may not only harm yourself, but also those around you. For example, the second prince, in the past few days when he was injured at home, do you know how many people he was angry with, and how many people were swept away by the emperor around him like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves? And how many people who originally ran industries outside under his banner were implicated? ”

"What Yingying said just now is indeed true, the emperor is very interested in the branch test, and it is nothing to ask one or two questions in person. But the emperor himself proposed to talk to you, and you should know the difference. Okay, since you already know that you are wrong, the third prince, then, you write a letter and send it to the capital yourself, and I won't send someone to report this matter. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou paused for a moment and said lightly: "Remember, when writing, let's first talk about how uneasy those prisoners in Banshan Hall are about Guozi Jian Xu Jian Cheng as the author of the question, and how Ji Jiu and others are worried about most people in Banshan Hall when they come to investigate, and feel that Xu Jian Cheng is difficult for them." Then explain that you are worried that Xu Jiancheng will be aggrieved for no reason. ”

"In the end, you used the most sincere attitude to tell the emperor that because he was in a hurry, he lied to Ji Jiu and them, and denied Xu Jiancheng's question, but said that it was the emperor's question. Afterwards, you deeply reflected on your mistakes, so you hurriedly wrote a book to make up for it, asking the emperor to forgive you. Do you understand the meaning of these layers? ”

Although he had roughly understood Zhang Shou's lesson just now, Zhang Shou said so much in one breath at this moment, and the three princes certainly kept it firmly in their hearts, so they wanted to understand it...... In fact, he knows only a little bit about it, and the only thing he can vaguely understand is probably the fact that Zhang Shou has worked hard for his own good.

So, he was embarrassed to ask Zhang Shou to explain the reason again, and quickly nodded again and again to show that he understood.

Zhang Shou saw the third prince nodding, and said to the fourth prince: "Since you are just about to admit your mistake for your third brother, then you should also write a letter to the emperor." The content is very simple, ask for a favor for your third brother, how to write sincerely, I won't teach you. ”

"Good!" The fourth prince was very happy with this simple task, and hurriedly agreed, but seeing that Zhang Shou combed two mustaches on one side of the third prince, he also hurriedly salivated and asked for equal treatment, but in the end he was dragged by Zhu Ying.

"Dare to love that you two boys didn't bring people out of the palace, just thinking about instructing your teacher? Even combing his hair needs his help, how can there be such a big student in the world! Don't move, I'll comb it for you! ”

The fourth prince was so anxious that he was about to cry. Zhu Ying's own hair has always been combed beautifully, it is said that Mrs. Tai gave her the most ingenious combing girl around, so she can often see a variety of beautiful hairstyles, many times it is often original, and it is popular all over the city after a while, but Zhu Ying's own combing skills ...... In his early years, his second brother had been taught once!

What a terrible hairstyle it was, he hadn't seen it, but he had heard it said, and afterwards the second brother almost went crazy with no anger, and finally carried a sword in the palace and wanted to chase and kill Zhu Ying, but he was severely taught a lesson by his father. Since that incident, the second brother, who had been infatuated with Zhu Ying's peerless appearance at first, completely fell out with Zhu Ying.

And now...... Is it finally his turn?

After the fourth prince was combed by Zhu Ying, it was a bathhouse with a tragic expression on the execution ground, and Zhang Shou looked at the third prince and the fourth prince walking hand in hand as usual, although he felt that the two beards of the fourth prince were a little asymmetrical, but he did not laugh at Zhu Ying's craftsmanship, but sighed softly: "It would be good if they continued to be in harmony like this." ”

"Why not?" Zhu Ying asked in surprise, "Just like me and my second brother, although I beat him and scolded him when I got annoyed, when he was angry, it wasn't that he didn't complain about me, but between my family, I should have reconciled in a while." ”

But when she said this, she had nothing to say when she thought of the eldest prince and the second prince who regarded each other as enemies. That's still a brother of the same mother, better than the third prince and the fourth prince, and closer than her and the eldest brother and second brother, but in the end, it's not like that? The royal family is inherently different from any family, and the emperor and the king of Lu are also a good example.

Zhang Shou also sighed casually, and didn't want to continue this topic, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Ying's hand, because he said with a smile: "It's hot and humid in this bathhouse, it's not a place to talk, let's go out quickly." ”

Zhu Ying usually dragged Zhang Shou to walk without moving, but now that she was involuntarily dragged and walked a few steps, she couldn't help but look down at the hands of the two of them, and suddenly remembered the scene where the third prince and the fourth prince walked hand in hand just now.

Although they are two completely different things, the warmth is the same. No wonder Zhang Shou suddenly had such feelings!

The third prince and the fourth prince are at this age, although they have almost recognized all the simple words, and they have mastered hundreds of idioms, Tang poems and Song words and four books and five classics are packed a lot in the stomach, but memorizing does not mean that they will use, and recognizing the words does not mean that they will write.

For a whole hour and a half, the fourth prince racked his brains to write a letter of 500 words, as for the third prince...... Not more, but less. After checking and copying again, the brothers tossed until the time of the fast child before falling asleep.

And early the next morning, Zhu Ying sent a steady escort to the capital quickly, and then handed it directly to the emperor of Qianqing Palace in his own name. And when the emperor opened the huge paper bag and found that it was two letters, he couldn't help but be stunned. After looking at the signature, he found that it was sent by his two sons, and he was even more puzzled.

Zhang Shou sent a letter, that was a serious matter, what did the two children write to him for? However, after reading the letter of the third prince, the doubts of the Son of Heaven turned into laughter and scolding, especially after reading the letter of intercession of the fourth prince.

Although Zhang Shou didn't defend himself at all, he didn't think that Zhang Shou instructed the third prince to do it.

Because, Zhang Shou actually asked him to give two questions in the Banshan Hall branch test in advance, and repeatedly asked him to keep it secret, and he agreed. Unexpectedly, this news was opened by the well-behaved third prince, and it leaked out like this!
