Chapter 649: It's better not to fight than not to fight
The Qianqing Palace summoned all the high-grade eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuch at night, and then overnight, there was only one left of the four people in the palm print, and Chu Kuan's palm print was directly sent by the emperor to Ciqing Palace to serve the pen and ink, and the remaining four followed, Chu Kuan was responsible, and the remaining three survivors trembled, not to mention that Xiao wanted to make up for the gap in the pen in front of him, and even felt that it was luck to survive.
When the news spread after the next day's meeting, it really exploded.
Especially the officials who were still watching the wind and did not echo the impeachment of the celebrant and the people, it was simply heartache - it was painful to miss this great opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop and bring down the eunuch. No one thinks that this dynasty has nothing to talk about at all. And Wang Jie, the first high-ranking official to go into battle in person, and thus succeeded in one fell swoop, has received countless praises.
And on this day, the attendants who went to Ciqing Palace to accompany the prince to study, of course, were the first to get the news. It was none other than the Four Princes. Because I specially consulted my father to make sure that this is not a leak of forbidden Chinese, the fourth prince saw many attendants today, so he began to crackle and burst his mouth, pouring out all the things of last night.
At this moment, everyone, including Qi Liang, was taken aback, and some even felt that they were hallucinating. Qi Liang was even thinking about how Lu Saburo would react if he was present at this moment if it wasn't for the marriage leave.
Zhang Shou calmly watched the four princes tell everyone about yesterday's scene in a colorful manner, and warned everyone in advance that when he saw Chu Kuan, who was waiting for pen and ink in Ciqing Palace, he must not be mocked and sarcastic. Hearing the little guy say in a sworn tone, Chu Kuan will make a comeback sooner or later, everyone is a promising talent, and he can't help but feel sorry for him.
Sure enough, when they entered the main hall of Ciqing Palace for the prince and a group of attendants to read, everyone saw that the third prince, the prince, was in the right position, and Chu Kuan's green coat and small hat on the side were concentrating on grinding ink. Although such a scene had been foreseen because of the reminder of the four princes, everyone was still stunned for a while, especially those noble disciples who recognized Chu Kuan, who were even more dumbfounded.
However, when Zhang Shou really started teaching, he found that after the initial shock, many attendants gradually regained their stable mood and began to listen attentively.
Especially when he finished explaining a question and dropped his pen to ask someone to erase the first blackboard, the third prince, who suddenly came back to his senses, suddenly shouted in a panic: "Teacher, slow down...... I, I haven't transcribed it yet! ”
As soon as these words came out, in an instant, the eyes of many attendants converged on the body of the third prince. Especially the fourth prince, the little guy almost didn't stare out of his eyes, and even couldn't help but question: "Third brother of the prince, didn't you even have time to copy the first blackboard?" ”
Chu Kuan, who was standing beside the three princes, saw Zhang Shou's daily lectures with his own eyes, so his attention was all attracted by the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the fast and incoherent board book, but he didn't notice the distraction of the three princes.
It may have been last night, but it was a little too sudden for the emperor's successor.
If it were on another occasion, maybe he would try to persuade or explain, but at this moment, there was absolutely no reason for him, the slave of the Son of Heaven who had just been expelled from the celebrant to speak, so he could only lower his eyes and sigh in his heart.
And after the third prince was hit by the fourth prince's unintentional crit, he finally stood up, bowed his head in shame and saluted: "Teacher, I was distracted for a while, so I didn't have time to transcribe, it's all my fault." ”
"It's good to know what you're wrong." Zhang Shou also had no intention of pursuing such a small negligence, clapped his hands and smiled, "Since that's the case, I'll take a break and you continue to copy." But I won't explain it a second time, Your Royal Highness the Prince, what you missed, go back and let the fourth prince explain it to you instead of me. ”
"Good!" Is there a chance to teach the third brother of the crown prince, the fourth prince was suddenly extremely excited, and after agreeing, he suddenly realized that he was just skipping classes at the moment, and all he could do was to copy notes - because he couldn't keep up with what Zhang Shou said at all, let alone understand, and he had to rely on the third prince or his father to help make up the lessons on weekdays!
As far as what Zhang Shou just said, he actually understands less than one-tenth, how can he explain it to the third prince?
But he agreed, he could only quickly look at the third prince, and sure enough, he saw that the third prince's face was flushed, as if he wanted to speak but he was afraid of something, he rolled his eyes, and finally said pitifully: "But, teacher, I also want to teach the third brother, but I don't understand it myself!" Can you ...... Can you tell me more? ”
Seeing that the words he wanted to plead were snatched away by the fourth prince, the third prince suddenly became more and more ashamed, and even when Zhang Shou happily agreed and began to explain again, he also reacted for a long time, and when he hurriedly began to listen and transcribe again, he had already missed the first part again.
Knowing that his study state was extremely bad today, he couldn't wait to pat his face hard to remind himself to concentrate, but even if he skipped this question for the time being, when Zhang Shou began to explain the next lesson, he unconsciously began to wander the world again, remembering the lessons of his father last night.
And this time, Chu Kuan, whose attention shifted from Zhang Shou to the third prince, finally did not let go of the chaos of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He quietly touched the third prince lightly with his hand, and seeing that people didn't notice it at all, he simply moved his lips again and sent a reminder to the ears of the third prince.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't get distracted, schoolwork matters!"
However, this kind of reminder has the opposite effect. Because he saw the third prince stand up suddenly, and when the prince himself realized that something was wrong, the eyes of many people, including Zhang Shou, fell on the person.
The moment the third prince stood up, he realized what he had done, and for a moment he only felt ashamed of himself, and his face was as red as fire. And what made him even more ashamed was that Zhang Shou actually shook his hand at him and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any ideas, you might as well talk about it after class." Okay, let's move on to this triangle......"
At this moment, the third prince didn't dare to get distracted anymore, and after sitting down with his head down, although he couldn't help but glance at Chu Kuan, he remembered the reminder just now, but he forced himself to focus on the course.
In this way, he reluctantly listened to the whole class, and the dizzy third prince saw Zhang Shou say that this class would end here, and he would rest in the next class first, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Teacher, I have something I want to ask for advice alone!" ”
Zhang Shou glanced at Chu Kuan, who was standing silently next to the third prince, like a shadow, and said with a smile: "Okay, then go to the study and talk about it." ”
If the third prince was amnesty, he tried his best not to see Chu Kuan and asked Zhang Shou to go with him. When he arrived at the study in the side hall, he saw that it was empty, and remembered that Zhang Shou said before that Ciqing Palace was just a place to study, and there was no need for chamberlains or palace people to serve, and then remembered what his father said to him last night, although he wanted to ask for advice about last night's events, but when the words came to his mouth, they became another sentence.
"Students are so trapped that they can't concentrate today, and they are always distracted. I hope that the teacher can take the lead and teach the students a lesson. ”
What does this mean? This time, it was replaced by Zhang Shou, who wondered. He could understand every word of the three princes' words, but why was the meaning so weird after they were connected? He frowned and said bluntly, "Speak human words." ”
The third prince only felt that his face was burning hot at this moment, but he still said with his heart crossed: "I hope the teacher can give the students ten precepts, so that the students know that they are still full of distractions in front of their homework, which is not right!" ”
There are still people in this world who take the initiative to ask to be beaten! Zhang Shou only felt that his head was blown up, and he didn't have to think about it to know that last night's incident should be quite exciting for the three princes, and after that, it is estimated that the emperor, who is the father of the monarch, will have a routine godson, so the three princes will look lost and depressed today.
He had no intention of inquiring about the imperial education of the heavenly father and son, but because he didn't listen carefully in class, the third prince's hand was swollen, and he really felt that it was very unnecessary because he didn't like corporal punishment.
However, in the face of the third prince who just wanted to be beaten, he finally sighed: "What about the ring ruler? ”
Realizing that Zhang Shou actually agreed, the third prince was immediately relieved. He immediately came to the bookshelf, took a wooden ring ruler from the second shelf, and then turned around and walked to Zhang Shou, presenting it with both hands.
For such a good student who has always been smart and well-behaved, and occasionally a little shy, Zhang Shou never felt that he needed to use a ring ruler to declare the majesty of a teacher. But at this moment, in the face of the pleading gaze of the third prince, he reluctantly confirmed the fact that he had to fuck him!
So, he took the ring ruler in his hand, straightened the hand of the third prince with an expressionless face, and then waved it suddenly, and the ring ruler fell into the palm of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Hearing that the person just hissed and held back, Zhang Shou hit the second time unhurriedly, and this time, he saw the third prince biting his lip and holding back a word. He knew very well that if such a thing as being beaten was done at once like a storm, then it would be over the moment when he gritted his teeth and carried it, but if he beat it slowly, the person who was beaten would suffer much more.
Knowing that what the third prince wanted was a quick and fierce lesson, he no longer hesitated, and in an instant, he dropped ten ring rulers on the palm of the third prince. Although he tried his best to spread the blow evenly, the small hand was only so big, so he had to land in the same position several times, and he saw that the palm of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was inevitably red and swollen.
He didn't notice it himself, he had just strictly implemented the principle that Ah Liu had instilled in him - it was better not to fight than to fight!
And that kind of pain that came in an instant did make the third prince almost suffer the greatest pain in his life. Although he tried his best to hold back, tears still rolled in his eyes. After all, he has always been more well-behaved than the fourth prince, and the beatings are the times when he took the blame for his younger brother, and the father and the emperor are at most two slaps on his buttocks, where will he still be on the ring ruler?
As for the old masters who once gave them enlightenment and teaching, who would really beat the prince?
But at this moment, after receiving these ten strokes, he understood that the fourth brother had doubled as much as he had suffered, and Zhang Shou had also received those ten strokes on his behalf. Although he still didn't quite understand his father's instructions, his impetuous heart seemed to be quiet. He wiped his eyes with his uninjured right hand, and when he saw Zhang Shou handing the ring ruler back, he solemnly raised his hand to take it.
"Thank you, teacher!"
The student who was beaten and thanked him, Zhang Shou also saw it for the first time. Even the fourth prince, who was beaten so much at that time, was actually not willing at first - and then cried and admitted his mistake, it was also because he also suffered it. At this moment, even though he knew that he shouldn't be so emotional, he couldn't help but grab the beaten left hand of the third prince.
"As the crown prince, I, the lecturer, have no right to punish you, don't say that the ring ruler that the emperor gave me at the beginning was only used to discipline the two ordinary princes and those noble children in the Banshan Hall, not including His Royal Highness the Prince. What's more, just because of the trivial matter of your distraction in class, I can't punish you. But since you have taken the blame, I have done it. ”
"But you have to know that sooner or later, even if you have a lot of pain and confusion, no one can answer it for you, everything has to be endured and endured by yourself, no one will use this ring ruler to wake you up again, and you can't expect someone to wake you up."
The third prince felt the sharp pain that hit Zhang Shou again when he pressed his hand on his injury, he only felt that he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and immediately bowed his head and said, "Students are taught!" ”
When Zhang Shou reappeared with the Third Prince, everyone who was a little sharper noticed that His Royal Highness the Third Prince's eyes were a little red, as if he had cried. It's just that even the fourth prince who wanted to ask was glared at fiercely by his third brother, so that he could only keep his mouth shut.
And after the third prince sat down again, Chu Kuan, who was waiting for the pen and ink, saw at a glance the left hand of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he was trying to cover with his sleeve. What a sharp eye he was, and at such a glance he realized that he had definitely been beaten!
But when he looked up at Zhang Shou, he saw that Zhang Shou had already started his second class casually, and the third prince was also listening attentively, and there was no abnormality at all. Since this is the case, he can only press the suspicion in his heart and ignore it.
When the morning's class was all over and Zhang Shou and many attendants retired one by one, Chu Kuan suddenly heard the third prince ask: "Father-in-law Chu, I just want to ask you one thing, did you really mean it?" ”
