Lu Sanlang was shown around by Zhang Shou as a perfect student, and his mind was blank. The only thing he could think of was the scene when Ge Yong proudly showed off Zhang Shou. Although he was confident in his talent, because Zhang Shou, his teacher, was about the same age as him, he never thought that Zhang Shou would one day become like Ge Yong.
So, when faced with the sudden questioning, Lu Sanlang's first reaction was, how could he become the melon sold by Zhang Shou
Seeing Lu Sanlang was stunned for a moment, Zhang Shou calmly looked at the official Chen from the Ministry of Personnel and said, "If I remember correctly, the Earl of Weinan only entrusted it privately, and a group of students in Jiuzhang Hall calculated it day and night, and most of them didn't even step out of the Imperial College. Your Excellency is really well-informed."
Chen was not willing to be fooled. He sneered and said, "Dr. Zhang was not tight-lipped and leaked the information to the students in Banshan Hall. Those ignorant guys spread the news all over the world. And now they blame me for being well-informed?"
Zhang Shou nodded with a smile and said, "That's right. Chen Zhuzheng doesn't even take Lu Zhu, the talented Jiuzhang Hall Master, seriously. You naturally think that young children like the Third and Fourth Princes, and Zhang Chen, the Banshan Hall Master, who is just the only son of Duke Qin, are even more ignorant."
"I didn't say that!" Master Chen was almost mad at Zhang Shou's words, but then he noticed the subtle expressions of the people around him and complained inwardly. He habitually regarded Banshan Hall as a place for those dandy boys to spend their days, and the top nobles simply put up a name and didn't even show up, but he forgot that now because of the emperor's words, all the skipping students stayed there obediently!
He immediately changed his words and said, "Anyway, now everyone outside knows that Jiuzhangtang claims to be solving problems for the Military Equipment Bureau, and Dr. Zhang keeps talking about the various advantages of Minister Lu's son. He doesn't mean to say that you and him have no achievements, right?"
Zhang Shou stopped Lu Sanlang from speaking, and said with a sneer, "Excuse me, sir, do you know how many years the secret box in the Arms Bureau has been shelved?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhushi, who had just suffered many setbacks, suddenly felt a pang in his heart. There is a disadvantage of being the first to jump out, that is, you have to bear the brunt of the thunder yourself!
As long as Zhang Shou is willing, he can bring up all the people who had failed in front of the secret box of the Arsenal. Then, even if he and his student Lu Sanlang really cannot solve it, wouldn't he, an outsider, be bringing in the predecessors as well by blaming them
Seeing that Chen was in a dilemma, Minister Zhao cursed him as a loser, but finally decided to roll up his sleeves and do it himself: "Doctor Zhang, do you think that since your predecessors are helpless, it is natural that you, Lu Zhu, and the teachers and students of Jiuzhang Hall cannot solve it? It's a joke! Your predecessors, including Grand Tutor Ge, all came up step by step through the right path!"
Zhang Shou looked at Minister Zhao with a relaxed expression, as if he didn't understand, and smiled without saying a word.
Minister Zhao didn't care whether Zhang Shou was truly fearless or just bluffing. He only knew that he was very angry and wanted to knock down this young man who stood there like a landscape and that fat guy Lu Zhu, and then step on them with ten thousand feet!
