The aftermath of the feast in the morning has not subsided, and this another turmoil in the Guozi Prison naturally spread in the capital in a moment. The emperor was teaching the three princes with the "New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic", and Chu Kuan, the master of ceremonies, actually came to report the matter in person. Faced with this news, he threw down the book in his hand with some annoyance, and then rubbed his eyebrows.

Zhang ...... How could Chapter Nine be so troublesome? ”

Considering that the third prince who was about to become the crown prince was by his side, he was still talking about the teacher that the third prince respected very much, and the emperor changed the word Zhang Shou to the word Zhang Shou on his lips. But even so, his emotion still attracted the opposition of the three princes: "Father, the teacher has never liked to cause trouble, it's just that others always can't get used to him!" ”

Chu Kuan glanced at the three princes with serious faces, and said with a warm smile: "The third prince, it is mediocre to not attract envy, besides, Dr. Zhang is too young, he is not crowned at the age of others, but he has become your teacher, and he is a lecturer in the East Palace, and there is such a group of students, who can imagine what he will be like in ten years or twenty years?" ”

"At that time, he will lean towards the government and the opposition, and even suppress the descendants of these courtiers under the pride of being your teacher, which is not guaranteed."

"Ten or twenty years from now, teachers won't change." The third prince's answer seemed to be natural, and even when the emperor looked at him with a bit of scrutiny in surprise, he didn't flinch at all, "Teacher, preacher, teach and solve doubts, this is what teachers often say." Now that he doesn't even teach in the Mid-Levels Hall, he only concentrates on a Jiuzhang Hall, what does this mean? ”

"The students in the Banshan Hall are all high-ranking officials, and in the Jiuzhang Hall, there are poor and talented people in arithmetic, there are children of merchants, and there are scholars who prefer arithmetic to the imperial examination, but all in all, it seems that none of them can be such a high-ranking official as Prime Minister Shangshu. Few of these students are able to repay the teacher, but there are many who need the teacher's support and opportunity. ”

"Even Senior Brother Lu, the reason why he was praised by his father and the emperor has the reputation of becoming a genius as a prodigal son now, isn't it because of the teacher's insight? As for Lu Sai Wine, didn't he also disapprove of the teacher at first? But now? Lu Saijiu put down the gains and losses for a while, but acted much more magnificently than before! ”

The third prince finished saying everything in his heart in one breath, and in the end, he was even a little incoherent, seeing that the emperor and Chu Kuan were staring at him intently, he gradually became a little hairy in his heart, and the shy and cautious factor in his personality prevailed again. He lowered his head uneasily, and whispered: "Father, it is the son who is in a hurry, and he has no brains to speak......"

"No, you obviously have been holding back these words for a long time, thinking about it again and again." The emperor smiled, pulled the third prince over and sat down beside him, then looked at Chu Kuan and said, "San Lang's progress now is obvious to all, from this point alone, Zhang Jiuzhang, the teacher, is stronger than me, the father!" It's just that I am already partial to him, and San Lang is even more biased. ”

Chu Kuan agreed with the emperor's last sentence very much, but he was very sure that if he really agreed with it like this, the emperor might be annoyed and angry.

Although Zhang Shou was able to get to where he is now, there are indeed many accidents, but if it weren't for the original widow Zhang, if it wasn't for Zhu Ying's love at first sight, if it wasn't for the entanglement of the three families, how could the emperor be so vigorously supportive, obviously partial? Today's son is certainly a willful king, but most of the time he is still measured!

Not to mention, even the identity of the abolished queen, and even the biological sons of the eldest prince and the second prince, were defeated when they were right with Zhang Shou. As for the pretentious old scum like the former Shoufu Jiang Ge Lao, it is not worth mentioning.

The emperor has been able to protect the third and fourth princes over the years, right? However, why did the emperor completely dislike the mother and son of the abolished queen because of these young brothers? Although that series of events was not Zhang Shou's work alone, there were various factors, and he had also contributed to the troubles behind the scenes, but he even had an illusion that the emperor was kind to Zhang Shou and his son at some times.

This is already better than the degree of loving the house and Wu because of Zhu Ying! If he hadn't been sure, it would have been Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping who were inseparable from each other back then, and it was definitely not Zhang Shou, and he might have to give birth to that kind of speculation. He is like that, not to mention the officials who like to think about the complexities and subtleties of everything, the common people who relish the secrets of the royal family?

Since the emperor posthumously crowned Zhang Shou's mother, there have been no less than a dozen versions of rumors circulating among the people. Several versions of it are all the stories of the Son of Heaven who met Widow Zhang in a private interview with Weifu, and then left an heir among the people......

Thinking of this, Chu Kuan bowed his head respectfully, and said lightly: "Dr. Zhang is certainly discerning, but if the emperor hadn't given him the task of reopening the Jiuzhang Hall to a fledgling junior, there would not be such a good story. However, if the three princes have more lecturers in the future and have seen outstanding figures in the world, maybe they will not only respect Dr. Zhang. ”

Not really! It's not like I haven't seen anyone! In the past, when I was an insignificant little prince, I also met many famous ministers when I went out, but they often didn't even have politeness on the face, only when I didn't exist. And how many people have an acceptable attitude, but when they turn their heads, they say bitterly that the emperor's favor for his young son is a sign of disaster for the country, how to ......

If this is the case alone, it can still be said that these ministers have the backbone to ignore the children of the royal family, but the actual situation is that after the news that he is about to enter the East Palace, among the people who praise him, these shameless people are just a lot!

The third prince lowered his eyelids, and the detailed account in his heart was clearly laid out. Although he is indeed modest and shy, it does not mean that he really has no temper at all.

For so many years, in addition to his father and mother, there are also four princes who have always been sincere to him, and I don't know if it is because of the relationship between the eldest prince and the second prince, or because of the relationship between the father and the emperor, so Zhu Ying, who has always been good to him, is the only one who treats him with a real normal heart. Those who are so-called learned and talented respect him only because he is about to become a prince!

The little emotions of the three princes, the emperor didn't find out, after all, in his mind, the two young sons are people with true temperament, and they can't hide their thoughts at all. But Chu Kuan keenly discovered it, because as early as after the emperor's mind was completely clear, when he looked at the third prince, he would no longer treat people as children, but treat people as future princes.

Therefore, after once again confirming Zhang Shou's status in the minds of the three princes, after he withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, he asked to see him again after learning that the three princes had left. Regarding his coming and going, the emperor who grew up with him didn't even have to guess, and he smiled when he saw someone.

"What, it's for Zhang Shou again? You are the most serious person who recommended him to me in the first place, and I even treat him as your direct relative. It's good now, I never forget to remind me that I can't listen to and believe partially, especially not to leave the responsibility of teaching the prince to Zhang Shou alone...... Didn't I think I was directly thrown to the teacher by my father and mother? ”

Chu Kuan was simply laughed and cried by the emperor. Zhang Shou is a relative of my family? I still think of him as the emperor's son!

He put aside the emperor's ridicule just now, and sighed softly: "The emperor should know that you and the third prince have different personalities. Even if Mrs. Ge is old, you may be convinced of his knowledge, character, and talent, but you will not worship Mrs. Ge as a god and obey his words, because the emperor is a maverick in his bones and likes to break stereotypes, so he has never believed in authority. ”

Seeing that the emperor was a little disapproving, as if he wanted to say, don't look at the soft personality of the third prince, but he will never obey people's words, he added unhurriedly: "The emperor was blessed back then, so his personality naturally never likes to rely on others, even the first emperor and the queen mother, not to mention Mrs. Ge?" But the three princes are different. ”

Because of his childhood experience, he seems shy and cautious, but in fact he is sensitive and thoughtful. Of course, he will not obey anyone, but for those whom he trusts, he will deepen his affection for people because of his own feelings. ”

"The person he has relied on since he was a child is the emperor and the concubine, has the emperor ever found that no matter what you and the concubine ask him to do, he will never doubt it, and he will never think it is right? The person he trusted since he was a child is the Four Princes, so no matter what the Four Princes do, he is a good brother, and this good brother will not only tolerate the shortcomings of his younger brother, but also directly count the faults of the Four Princes. ”

"Change to the eldest prince and the second prince, and change to other princesses, the emperor thinks about it, have you only seen the third prince respect people and stay away, and have you never seen him listen to people casually? Have you ever seen him exhort or admonish people? ”

"In front of Miss Zhu, the third prince is a well-behaved and sensible good child, because she has praised him like this since she was a child, and she praised him in front of the queen mother and the emperor. Miss Zhu hates the yin of the eldest prince, the domineering of the second prince, and she doesn't like the impulsiveness and recklessness of the fourth prince. Therefore, the third prince will naturally show that she likes him in Miss Zhu. ”

"And in front of Dr. Zhang, the third prince is the true temperament."

Seeing that the emperor was finally moved, the reason for his emotion was obviously not because of his description of the three princes, but because the three princes turned out to be the most true temperament in front of Zhang Shou, Chu Kuan had to sigh in his heart, among the harem concubines, Concubine He and Concubine Jiang were not favorite concubines, but the third prince and the fourth prince were very favored by the emperor.

Look at it now, the emperor is even obviously jealous as a father because the third prince is more ordinary in front of Zhang Shou!

Although Chu Kuan hoped that the emperor would put away his partiality towards Zhang Shou a little, he still said in a very cautious tone: "In front of Dr. Zhang, the third prince often forgets that he is a member of the imperial family and the future prince, but is at ease and a good student. ”

"If he is an ordinary person, this is naturally fine, but he is the crown prince, and he will reign in the world one day. Does the emperor really think this is appropriate? And it's not just the third prince, it's the same with the four princes. The time when he failed in the Jiuzhangtang exam before but left in a bad mood, when Zhang Shou's cronies and entourage Ah Liu brought him back, he swept away the decline and regained his strength, is this really just simple reasoning? ”

"Do you know that he didn't even move this awe to Ah Liu because of his awe of Zhang Shou? This is not a good sign, but the bad thing is that the third prince used to see the faces of some courtiers too clearly, so he used to compare those sleek old officials with Zhang Shou at every turn! ”

"Those old officials are respectful, but in fact, they may not take the emperor in their eyes, let alone the three princes in the past? Throughout the ages, the monarchy has been strong, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have bowed their heads and ears, not daring to disagree, and the civil officials are powerful, that is, the dignified son of heaven has been spit on and sprayed in the face, but he does not dare to wipe it! The three princes don't know what's going on, they just think that they only respect their identity and don't respect people, but in fact, they are simply wrong! ”

"Forgive me for saying a big rebellious word, these civil officials have been tested one by one from the field, which is equivalent to the peerless famous generals who survived the battlefield battles again and again, they respect the imperial power, but because of thousands of years of etiquette, if the people sitting on the throne are useless, they are respectful on their faces, and they may not even be able to afford it in their bones, let alone a mere three princes?"

"If the third prince can't even see this, just because Zhang Shou is different from others, he especially respects Zhang Shou, then he will be wrong. You must know that Zhang Shou is no different from these civil officials. These civil officials only have their own interests and gains and losses in their bones - only a handful of them pretend to have a little bit of family and country in the world - and Zhang Shou's heart probably only promotes his arithmetic and his reason for everything in the world! ”

"It is precisely because there is no awe in his heart, whether it is etiquette or imperial power, that Zhang Shou can be so ordinary in front of the emperor and the three princes! Not because he has no desires, but because what he wants is very different from the vast majority of people! ”

Chu Kuan said this in one breath, and then he slowly stopped, but his two eyes were staring at the emperor, hoping to get the reaction he wanted. Sure enough, he had already spoken so thoroughly that the emperor's face finally lost the ridiculous expression.

"You are really more and more like those conceited and correct courtiers, and you are speaking more and more seriously!"

The words were still a little joking, but the emperor's attitude was obviously much more cautious: "I will choose among the lecturers of this feast, and select people with both ability and political integrity to serve as lecturers in the East Palace." Of course, those stubborn old-fashioned characters are not among them. ”

"Old-fashioned guys, then stay honestly in their little world! The world is so big, why is there only one Zhang Shou? Besides, Zhang Shou only teaches arithmetic and does not teach anything else. Since you don't talk about scriptures and history, and you don't get involved in current affairs, it's even more limited than when Mrs. Ge taught me, so don't worry about it. ”

When the emperor said this, as if to convince himself, as if to persuade Chu Kuan, he patted the armrest impatiently, and then said as if the final word was conclusive: "In the past few days, I have been watching from the sidelines and have already picked out some people. As for Saburo's wrong prejudice when he looked at people, I would naturally explain it to him. ”

He didn't say a word at this time. I think that when he first ascended the throne, he also had an extreme mind. I am the Son of Heaven, and you don't even take me seriously? It was because the Queen Mother woke him up and Ge Yong scolded him that he knew that the so-called self-esteem was just an illusion of the kings of the past dynasties.

Seeing that Chu Kuan seemed to have no choice but to accept this statement, the emperor stood up as soon as he pressed the armrest, and said with a calm expression: "As for Jiuzhangtang...... Since there are already people who have come to the door to make trouble, so be it, Jiuzhangtang directly moved out of the country's supervision. I went to the Guozijian before, and it was even a kind of encouragement and beating, but in the end it didn't help, which shows that it was rotten. ”

"In that case, let's just start anew!"
