At home, Song Juren was taking Yang Zhan to visit the workshop, and because of Guan Qiu's words, when he took people to see the glass workshop that cost a lot of money but did not produce results for the time being, Zhang Shou announced a news after finishing the morning class of the day in Jiuzhangtang.

"The Third Prince hasn't been to Jiuzhang Hall for a few days, and you should know the reason. The ceremonial system of the East Palace of the Ministry of Rites has been handed over, but because the emperor is not satisfied, it is being changed, but this major event will definitely be completed before the year. And because of the initiative of the three princes, the emperor has decided to pick someone to serve in the East Palace in Jiuzhangtang. ”

Although Zhang Shou had mentioned such an idea before, and everyone was excited, no one expected that this thing would not only really come true, but also get the emperor's nod in such a short time. In an instant, there were cheers one after another in the huge classroom, and even Ji Jiu, who was a little reserved, couldn't cover the smile on his face.

And Zhang Shou's next words caused an even greater uproar.

"In order not to delay the progress of everyone, including the three princes, there are a total of six attendants, and a batch is changed every month. Take the first six for the East Palace every month to read, so, you know. The corners of Zhang Shou's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a ghost-like smile that is often evaluated by students in private, "The monthly exam is the selection standard." Of course, the six people in the palace of the acolyte that month are not ranked. ”

Since they can be admitted to Jiuzhangtang, all of them are the best at arithmetic in these years, who wouldn't be able to calculate the selection method that Zhang Shou said? That is to say, a group of six people enters the palace, and the remaining six people will decide on the next monthly exam, and when the previous group of six people returns, if the remaining people are not angry, then it is likely that these two groups of twelve people will always be in rotation!

Others could only see that the threshold of the East Palace was close at hand, but they would never be able to cross it!

Seeing that everyone looked at each other, as if looking for the most threatening person, Zhang Shou said lightly: "Of course, in order to avoid abnormal competition between classmates, if there is a selected person who cannot enter the palace to study this month because of illness or injury, then ...... Hehe, he will wait until next month, and if he is not well next month, he will enter the palace next month to study. ”

And the spot he vacated that month due to injury will always be empty and will not be transferred to the next person. And the place he occupies next month and even next month will also squeeze out the original sixth place. Moreover, you don't want to be too happy, compared with the rank of Princess Yongping's maid Hong Niangzi, who is compared to the prince's friend, you waiters have no actual grade. ”

Hearing this, Ji Jiu secretly gasped. In other words, if someone is playing tricks behind his back, causing the person who should have been selected to be unable to enter the palace due to illness and injury, then this month's quota will be abolished, and it would rather be empty than let people fill it up.

And once this missed opportunity recovers, he will squeeze out the places of others next time and even next time! In this way, the tricksters are simply stealing chickens and rice, but will attract more people's resentment!

Although there is no grade in the waiter, it is an unprecedented opportunity to be able to work hard to express himself in front of the prince of the East Palace! Don't talk about others, I'm afraid that even Zhang Chen and others, who Zhang Shou has always been close to, may be envious of their opportunity! However, this kind of method of using injuries to force people to make concessions can't be used, so what about secretly forcing others to show mercy during the exam, so as to protect themselves?

Ji Jiu, who had long been accustomed to all kinds of crooked and evil ways in the Guozi Prison, had just given birth to such an idea, but he only heard Zhang Shou speak: "I know that everyone has always been quite harmonious with each other, but with the current interests, it is inevitable that some people will be lucky. Therefore, I have said in advance today, if anyone encounters any coercion or inducement, they can tell me directly, as long as they find any such behavior......"

"Expelled from Jiuzhangtang, dismissed from the Guozijian, never hired, never tolerated!"

In addition to assigning questions, Zhang Shou has always been a very talkative teacher, and occasionally when he finds that he is copying homework or cheating in exams, he only admonishes him, and will not punish him at every turn.

Therefore, no one has ever seen such a stern tone of his, and he was naturally silent for a while.

It was Ji Jiu who saw the opportunity quickly, and took the lead in standing up and expressing his determination, and the others suddenly realized and hurriedly followed. By the time Zhang Shou announced the end of class, many people were still sitting there motionless, still savoring Zhang Shou's words.

And Zhang Shou, who had just walked out of Jiuzhang Hall, saw a person walking quickly outside the door, as fast as a ghost. If it were the first time he encountered it, of course he would find it quite scary, but he had already encountered this situation many times, so he naturally behaved calmly at this time.

"Xu Jiancheng, are you so idle? If you're fine, just run around with me. ”

Xu Heizi stared at Zhang Shou with two eyes, and he couldn't see any expression on his black face - because his black face had never changed, it was difficult for ordinary people to see his joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

And he didn't sell Guanzi, after a moment of silence, he said calmly: "There is just news from the palace that the emperor has invited Princess Yongping to study, and Hong, the daughter of the head of Hongshan of Yuzhang Academy, teaches the third prince to paint. As soon as the news came, the doctor's hall exploded, and a large number of people shouted to write to advise on the matter, but there was no movement in the public hall. ”

That's because Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye knew that even if they taught the future prince to paint, it was still only a trivial matter in the palace, and there was no room for foreign ministers to put their beaks. If the emperor had been willing, there would not have even been official news of such a thing. Now the reason why the wind blows first is already regarded as the emperor's ventilation.

Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but of course he couldn't show the expression I had known for a long time on his face, so he smiled and said: "The third prince has always liked to paint, and Hong Niangzi is said to have been taught by the Tanhualang in Jiangxi who is good at Danqing since he was a child, and teaching the three princes to paint should be just a trivial matter." ”

Xu Heiyu originally wanted to say that there is a difference between men and women, but thinking about it, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying often entered into pairs when their marriage contract was unclear, and if he felt that he was deliberately ridiculing him for a while, it would be boring, so he changed his words.

"But people are terrible, if the country does not make trouble in this matter, other people in the DPRK and China will also make trouble. But Dr. Zhang, you and the students of Jiuzhangtang, after the third prince entered the East Palace, where did you go? ”

As soon as Zhang Shou heard this, he knew that the news he had just announced to the students, Xu Heiqi had just arrived, and he hadn't heard it yet. I don't know if the palace deliberately controlled the news one by one, or if this Xu Jian Cheng of the Rope Hall had already been marginalized, so the rest of the Guozijian had already known, but people didn't get the corresponding news. He only thought about it for a moment, and then readily told the truth about it.

Sure enough, as soon as he said the selection method for the East Palace attendants, Xu Heiyu's black face seemed to shine, and he actually volunteered to say: "In this case, will this Jiuzhang Hall need me to invigilate the exam at that time?" I will be strict and put an end to all fraud. ”

Zhang Shou immediately smiled. This black-faced prisoner has a very weak sense of presence among the Guozi supervisors, but among the many prisoners, Xu Heiyu's sense of existence is extremely strong. Because people will suddenly appear outside the door of a certain hall out of nowhere, and use their eagle-like eyes to catch some students who have violated the rules.

Distraction and extortion in class, including peeking at other messy books...... These small movements that Zhang Shou is most familiar with in the classroom are distracted, but Xu Heiyu doesn't care. No matter how iron-faced he is, he knows that some things can't be stopped.

The supervisor of the rope hall grasped two things, one was absenteeism from class, and the other was cheating in exams.

Therefore, of course, Zhang Shou would not doubt the other party's extraordinary professionalism, and nodded happily: "In this case, then I will bother Xu Jiancheng to help, anyway, you didn't come to me to invigilate the exam once or twice, you are experienced, so naturally it depends on you to deter those students." Although I have spoken first, I am afraid that they will be carried away by interests. As for the degree of it, it depends on Xu Jian Cheng. ”

Xu Heiyu nodded knowingly, and then without saying much, he arched his hand and turned around to leave. But only a few steps away, he suddenly stopped his steps, and then said without looking back: "Dr. Zhang did not leave these students in Jiuzhangtang because he went to be the prince's teacher, but also found a way out for them, a teacher like you, this is the first time I have seen it in all these years in Guozijian." ”

"At most, others are preaching and teaching to solve doubts, and you have directly solved the future of your students, so it is no wonder that your students praise you as a teacher outside. It's even more powerful in the past few days, in the bookstore outside, Old Master Ge's books have almost been snatched up, and I heard that there are countless people who plan to apply for the Jiuzhangtang exam next year. Don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret first. ”

Uh, is that exaggerated...... Isn't it even more exaggerated to know the news of the attendant?

Zhang Shou sent away Xu Heikui who came uninvited, thinking about the grand occasion of thousands of people chasing arithmetic outside, he couldn't help but be angry and funny. It is no wonder that from ancient times to the present, the four words of upward and downward effect have always been tried and tested truths, but it turns out that the effect of pulling up the tiger skin to make a banner is better than anything else.

In the past, the third prince was just an ordinary prince, and applying for the Jiuzhangtang examination caused a sensation at most, but now the third prince is about to be promoted to the crown prince, and he can't come to Jiuzhangtang to study, but he has to invite him to the palace to continue to teach arithmetic, and even recruit students from Jiuzhangtang as princes to study, this temptation, of course, even the children of the official eunuchs can't stop it.

I don't know where Lu Saburo is...... How many people will chase after you when you turn around?

Many preparations for the canonization of the crown prince are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the news in the palace is like a naughty boy throwing stones at the water, one after another. First of all, the emperor ordered Princess Yongping to read the Hong family to teach the three princes to paint, and this news instantly caused an uproar among a large number of people in the court, and all kinds of books were piled up like snowflakes.

As a result, the emperor's reaction to this...... It is to cite the example of the five sisters of the Song family in the Tang Dynasty as female bachelors in the palace to refute it. And before the emperor dispersed the court the next day, when a certain strong point gave desperate advice to the matter, he was even more impatient and directly dropped a few words.

"The Hong family has a family history, the family has been refining the Analects for several generations, and the students of Yuzhang Academy are also the best at this section, I originally wanted the Hong family to teach San Lang the Analects, or San Lang himself felt that this matter was a little inappropriate, so I invited her to teach painting."

"If you object, I will simply continue to follow the preface and let her teach the Analects!"

The Confucian scholar was so angry that the whole person was verbose, especially when he saw the emperor walking away with his face full of recklessness, and then the official of the Honglu Temple of Zanyi was busy shouting and retreating from the court, he couldn't help but think of the legend he had heard before.

It is said that when the emperor was just in power, he was also thinking about it as soon as he came out, and almost didn't anger those high-ranking officials such as the old Shangshu at that time...... At that time, he was just a junior who had just been admitted to the Jinshi, and when he heard this rumor, he was just joking with others, but he didn't expect to be able to experience it in his lifetime!

The emperor, who is about to celebrate his fortieth birthday, can be so unreasonable!

However, the Confucian scholar who was almost not is not the most pitiful. The one who had already planned to persuade desperately, found that he was completely ignored by the emperor and was left in the cold wind in front of the Fengtian Palace, and he felt that he was the most pitiful.

He even thought desperately about whether he should simply go all out to the end, and when the emperor really invited the Hong family to teach the Analects, he would come up with another Fu Que death advice. But this thought also turned in his heart, because he had already thought of the tone that the emperor had just confided.

It was the third prince who reversed the emperor's will and changed the Hong family, which originally taught the Analects, to teach painting...... From this point of view, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future is really much more reasonable than the current emperor!

However, compared to the future crown prince who became the embodiment of knowledge and reason in the mouths of many officials after the dispersal of the dynasty, Hong Shanchang was simply about to go crazy. The daughter was called to see Princess Yongping before, and when she came back and told her that she had also met the third prince, the third prince invited her to teach painting, and his mood was very complicated.

He felt that painting was not a small art, and if the Hong family agreed, it would really insult the Hong family's noble court, and only because the painting art was inherited from his senior brother, the famous Tanhualang in Jiangxi, he could be regarded as acquiescing.

But now, the news that came out of the news actually said that the emperor originally planned to let his daughter teach the future prince's Analects, but he was prevaricated by the third prince by teaching painting!

He was also angry that the emperor would rather use the Hong family than ask him to serve as the master of the East Palace; I was also annoyed that the future prince came up with such a clumsy prevarication strategy - even if he felt that the Hong family was not suitable for a woman, then he should be thought of as such!

In a fit of anger, Hong Shanchang didn't bother to stay in Yashe at all, and he couldn't get along with Yue Shanchang at all, so he simply went out for a walk that day, but he regretted it not long after he went out. Because everyone was talking about the first freshly baked Donggong Master (painting major) in all directions, he almost wanted to turn around and go back to Yashe.

However, he didn't want to go back to see the faces of Yue Shanchang and the others, and the daughter who reprimanded the virtuous and virtuous lady seemed that he was very unmeasured as a father, so he simply walked to a place with few people in a huff, until he found that there were crowds of people on the side of the road in front of him, and his face was gloomy, and then he saw the words Sansan Bookstore. The next moment, he heard a shout that almost made him angry: "Third Master Lu, teach me the experience of arithmetic, we also want to take the Jiuzhangtang exam next year!" ”
