The four princes, who shouted and expressed their determination, waved their small fists, and their faces were full of confidence. Compared to him, the third prince's complexion was extremely unconfident. Even though he was surrounded by elite soldiers and strong generals carefully selected by his father, he still seemed a little weak, which was in stark contrast to the enthusiasm of the four princes.

"Fourth brother, do you really think we can get in? The previous topics, we seem to have racked our brains to do a lot of things. Moreover, when the results of the written test were announced before, the two of us were also the last few. ”

"What's the matter with hanging the tail of the list, the two of us are not the last!" The fourth prince has always been a sunny little boy, and he still seems to be justified at this moment, "Besides, third brother, you are two places higher than me, I don't feel hopeless, what are you worried about?" We didn't hire someone to do it on our behalf, and we didn't hire a teacher, which is definitely better than many people! ”

The third prince was extremely empty-hearted. We really didn't ask someone to do it on our behalf, nor did we ask strong people like Godfather Emperor and Old Master Ge, even Lu Saburo hinted at helping, I didn't understand it, but we actually cheated, because our brothers asked each other for advice and pondered together, so we worked together to do most of the topics!

The two of them walked side by side under the escort of a group of soldiers from the Rui Cavalry Battalion, not paying any attention to the group of Yue Shanchang who were avoiding on the side. At this time, after riding a horse close to the fourth prince, he asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, those topics were discussed and completed by the two of us, if Mr. Xiao knew about it, would it ......?"

Before he could ask, would this make Zhang Shou's perception of them worse, but he was given a big eye on his fourth brother.

"Third brother, you are too cautious! Three stinkers can top one Zhuge Liang, let alone our brothers? Brothers work together, and their profits are broken. Besides, didn't we all try to come up with two solutions, and then one for each person? There is not the slightest trace of the same volume between the two of us, and the storage is better than many people! ”

It wasn't until this moment that the third prince showed a hint of a smile. Thinking of multiple solutions to each question was his only requirement after the four princes proposed to join forces - otherwise, he was very worried that the papers of the two people would be exactly the same, and when the time came, he would be involved in his younger brother and be determined by Zhang Shou to be cheating. In fact, they can only come up with two solutions to some problems, and they have quite a big breakthrough in the other part of the problem.

There were two problems, and they came up with four and five solutions, respectively! Then the two of them divided it up and wrote it all up!

It wasn't until the third prince and the fourth prince passed over that Yue Shanchang squinted his eyes slightly, and then turned his head sideways to the captain on the side and asked, "Is this the third prince and the fourth prince?" I just heard what they said, this is to take the Guozijian Jiuzhangtang? I remember that they are not yet ten years old, and the youngest of the first batch of prisoners in the Jiuzhangtang of Guozijian seems to be sixteen or seventeen, are they too early? ”

Hearing this, the captain was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dry smile: "I heard that the third prince and the fourth prince begged the emperor to live and die, and they must take the exam, and they also said that if they fail the exam in one year and take the exam again in the second year, the emperor can't do anything about them." They are indeed the youngest of those who passed the written test this year, and they are also crane tails. However, their papers were posted, and the ideas for solving the problems were said to be ingenious. ”

As he spoke, he emphatically added: "Of course, I don't understand this, this is what other people who ran to watch the paper posted said." The solutions to each question of the third prince and the fourth prince are different, and even those who want to say that they are plagiarizing each other are all dumb. I heard that their senior brother, Lu Zhaichang of the first phase of Jiuzhangtang, openly said that the two princes were very talented and were in no way inferior to him. ”

Yue Shanchang was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I heard that in order to attract the best students and teachers in the world, Guozijian now has a rule that it is regularly open to ordinary people?" ”

Seeing that the captain hesitated slightly, he smiled and said that today is the open day, as long as there is a voucher issued by the government, he took the opportunity to say, "In this case, I also want to take students to visit the Guozijian, and I think I am not a suspicious person, and I am very interested in the genius Lu Sanlang who personally commented on the prodigal son's return, and I want to see what the two princes he praised are like." ”

Faced with such a sudden request, the captain was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a while, and seeing that Yue Shanchang's face was frank and calm, he finally nodded and agreed: "Yue Shanchang may also go to Guozijian to give lectures in the future, so I will take you there." Merely...... There is a limit on the number of places on the open day of Guozijian, so I'm afraid you students can't all go. ”

Yue Shanchang smiled, knowing that this bargaining was just a little person's way of life, and immediately said cheerfully: "In this case, then I will take four people, and the rest of the people will go to an inn to settle down first." The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and all the talents of the world gather here, and you can also have a good look at the world's romantic people and recognize your own position. ”

Seeing that Chief Yue Shan's words were echoed in loud unison, the captain spread his hands helplessly and said, "Since Chief Yue said so, then I will take on such a role." Today, I think it's the Shuntian Mansion near Guozijian to maintain the order of the open day, and I happen to be familiar with Lin Laohu, the head catcher in the torture room, so I'll talk to him. ”

In the Jiuzhang Hall of Guozijian, Zhang Shou, who called Lu Sanlang, the first fasting chief, to sit in the town today, called the little fat man in front of him with his hook hand at this time, and then grabbed the fat on his cheeks.

"Lu Sanfat, did you say to the outside world that the qualifications of the third prince and the fourth prince are not inferior to you? There is also a limit to touting, you compare two children under the age of ten to your wickedness? ”

Seeing people crying wolf, he knew that most of them were pretended by this little fat man, so he let go angrily at the moment.

Lu Sanlang pinched his cheeks and gasped, and said resentfully: "Little sir, you blame me, I'm not boasting, at most I can only be regarded as a ...... Well, fueling the fire? Although he is now a formal teacher and student, he still likes to call him the old name in private.

He used an idiom, and when he saw Zhang Shou smiling, he seemed to be thinking about how to continue to teach him, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "The two little princes are indeed similar to me when I was a child, ghosts, and compared to me, their identities are still different, with the emperor here, no one dares to bully them easily." This is the most suitable for being a good seedling for students, and if you don't recruit them, will you cheapen others? ”

Lu Sanlang was proud of Zhang Shou's evaluation of himself just now - he didn't mind being called a demon at all, but thought it was the highest evaluation. Therefore, after coming up with his own reasons in a hearty manner, he instilled in Zhang Shou the benefits of accepting two princely students. However, he tried his best to get Zhang Shou's hehe.

"The agency is too clever to think everything will turn out as you expect?" Zhang Shou saw Lu Sanlang laughing dryly twice, his eyes wandering, so he said indifferently, "Although I let the students of Jiuzhangtang come up with a lot of questions, it naturally doesn't matter if I do it for others, but if it is the third prince and the fourth prince, it is natural to have a few extra questions to test them." ”

Lu Sanlang was shocked: "Little sir, aren't you?" It's almost enough to test them with two questions, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass the two of them? ”

"It's embarrassing, because if I'm not embarrassed, someone deliberately makes it easy for them, and they can easily and skillfully cross the ditch that other candidates have the most difficult to cross."

Zhang Shou looked at Lu Sanlang with a smile, until he avoided his gaze very weakly, and then he smiled and said, "I believe that there are geniuses in this world, and I also believe that the three princes and the four princes are talented." However, even if the emperor personally taught him, plus he got the latest textbooks as soon as possible, he could still run to my teacher from time to time to ask for advice, but this was not a reason for them to pass the test easily. ”

"Do you dare to say that before the second batch of admissions, you didn't quietly answer their questions and even pass on certain things?"

"I'm just going to teach them, didn't you teach me gentleman love, little sir? I swear I never did any of them ever do any of them! Lu Saburo directly called out to hit the sky. But as soon as his voice fell, he was teased by Zhang Shou and was speechless.

"yes, you didn't do the questions for them, but you leaked a bunch of questions for the retest, right? Lu Sanlang, Lu Sanlang, why do you have so many crooked ways like this, this little fat man? ”

What's wrong with the crooked ways...... If you use crooked ways well, you can succeed just as well, right? Lu Sanlang's face was even more aggrieved at this time, but if this expression was still a little cute on the child's face, he was a little chubby dun who was getting fatter and fatter now, even if he showed such a pitiful expression again, Zhang Shou would not be able to relent.

"All in all, don't think that others are stupid, you know, seeing that the first batch of prisoners of Jiuzhangtang has not yet graduated, and those who checked the accounts in Guanglu Temple have even brought out several big fish that have been successfully retired, and they think that they can live for a long time, and they have been rewarded by the emperor, how can those who regard people as thorns in the flesh and eyes not stare at this side and want to catch the wrong place?"

"If you really recruit the third prince and the fourth prince casually...... Zhang Shou smiled and said lightly: "That's harming others and yourself!" ”

Although Lu Saburo was still unconvinced, he was a little uneasy in his heart. Not long after, as the outside world reported that the forty-eight people who participated in the interview had already arrived, Zhang Shou directly instructed Lu Sanlang: "You take Ah Liu out, let him supervise the draw, and randomly disrupt everyone into eight groups, and then six people in each group." At that time, they will come in in as a group for an interview. ”

At this moment, Lu Saburo was completely dumbfounded. It's not the same as what was said beforehand! But when Ah Liu came up with an expressionless face and almost pushed him out, he realized that he was suddenly brought over by Zhang Shou from the Imperial Chef Selection Competition, and there was no question that he had agreed with Zhang Shou in advance.

The little design he privately gave to the four princes was all wishful thinking!

So, when he was taken out by Ah Liu, he couldn't help but whisper: "Sixth brother, don't bring this!" The students who came to the door had to rush out, the third prince and the fourth prince were studious and diligent, where could such a good student go with a lantern? If it is really to give the hands of such talents to others, it will be damned! ”

Ah Liu was unmoved, seeing his scene, Ah Liu could only say bitterly: "Sixth brother, I know that you are the person who thinks about Mr. Xiao the most, since Mr. Xiao knows that Jiuzhangtang is a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of people, then he should recruit two people with rough skin and thick meat...... No, no, the prince of gold and jade is here to block it! "That's the only way to do that!

Speaking of this, Lu Sanlang stared at Ah Liu very sincerely, as if he wanted the other party to see his sincere eyes clearly. However, in the process of looking at each other with four eyes, Lu Saburo, who finally tried to impress Ah Liu with "honesty", was directly defeated. He rubbed his sour eyes, and suddenly hung his head.

"Anyway, since the third prince and the fourth prince are willing, and they are not forced to buy and sell, why does Mr. Xiao have to be so cautious? I don't believe that the little gentleman has a prejudice against the two brothers, who he has always liked in the past. ”

"Don't tell me that."

Ah Liu's answer was as concise and clear as ever. Not only that, but he also understood another meaning of Zhang Shou just now, that is, he was instructed to be sure to divide the third prince and the fourth prince into different types of groups, although he was a little puzzled, but he had long been used to understanding whether he understood or not, and everything had to be implemented.

Seeing that Ah Liu's oil and salt did not enter, Lu Sanlang was completely wilted. When he met the candidates who had come for the interviews and then listlessly announced the new rule, most of them let out uneven exclamations, but on the whole they were still in a stable mood, even the third and fourth princes. On the contrary, those who happened to come to see the excitement because of the open day of the National Prison actually reacted even more.

Yue Shanchang, who was mixed in the crowd, said thoughtfully: "Suddenly change the rules...... It seems that Dr. Zhang is still as rumored, he does things unreasonably and likes to be unique. ”

The evaluation of young people by middle-aged and elderly people is unique and unreasonable, and it is definitely not a compliment-because in the eyes of them, who have experienced the world and read all the weather, young people who have nothing to do and break stereotypes are like black sheep, which will drag down a team that is moving forward steadily. However, the next moment, he heard the captain next to him laugh.

"Jiuzhangtang was originally reopened, and there are not so many outdated rules, what's wrong with changing it? Besides, the emperor's recruitment of a famous person like Yue Shanchang to preach in Beijing is also an unprecedented virtue and politics, so isn't it unreasonable and unique? ”

Yue Shan nodded with a smile on his face, but in his heart he was very wary of what this seemingly ordinary little leader of the city gate guards said. Although he only has a reputation and no official position, he is full of peach and plum all over the world, and there are many students in the prime of life in the previous generation of Zhaoming Academy. But even so, people lack de facto respect for him, but they respect Zhang Shou very much, what does this mean?

Doesn't that mean that in the capital of this acre of land, the young but high-ranking Dr. Guozi is like a hill that must be crossed?

Lu Sanlang didn't notice that others were questioning Zhang Shou, and seeing that no one objected to Zhang Shou's ingenious new idea, he had to drag out the notes for drawing lots. Although he really wanted to use some small tricks that he had practiced when he was playing with people in the past, Ah Liu's eyes were sharp-eyed, so he could only helplessly watch the big box full of notes be sent to everyone in turn.

And when the third prince and the fourth prince, who drew lots according to their ranking, drew their own notes in turn, the two little heads came together to take a quick look, but they were stunned at the same time. But it turns out that one is one and the other is eight, not a group at all, not to mention, but also divided into one end and one tail!
