Mr. Song at home was taking Yang Zhan to visit the workshop, and because of Guan Qiu's words, he took them to see the glass workshop that cost a lot of money but had no results for the time being. At this time, Zhang Shou announced a piece of news after finishing the morning class in Jiuzhang Hall that day.
"The Third Prince hasn't come to Jiuzhang Hall for several days. You should know the reason. The Ministry of Rites has submitted the ceremony for enthroning the Eastern Palace, but the Emperor is not satisfied, so it is being revised. However, this important matter will be completed before the New Year. And because of the Third Prince's initiative, the Emperor has decided to select someone from Jiuzhang Hall to serve as a tutor in the Eastern Palace."
Although Zhang Shou had mentioned this idea before, and everyone was very excited, no one expected that this thing would not only be successful, but also get the emperor's nod in such a short time. In an instant, cheers came from the huge classroom, and even Ji Jiu, who was a little reserved, couldn't hide the smile on his face.
What Zhang Shou said next caused an even greater uproar.
"In order not to delay the progress of everyone including the Third Prince, there are a total of six tutors, and one group is replaced every month. The top six are selected as tutors to the Eastern Palace every month, so, you know what I mean." Zhang Shou's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile that students often privately described as devilish. "The monthly exam is the selection standard. Of course, the six tutors in the palace that month are not included in the ranking."
Since those who were able to enter the Jiuzhang Hall were all the best at mathematics in this era, who could not figure out the selection method Zhang Shou mentioned? In other words, one group of six people would enter the palace, and the remaining six would be decided in the next monthly exam. When the first group of six returned, if the remaining people were not motivated, then it would be very likely that these two groups of twelve people would always rotate!
Others can only watch as the threshold of the East Palace is so close, but they will never be able to cross it!
Seeing everyone looking at each other in pairs, as if looking for the most threatening person, Zhang Shou said calmly: "Of course, in order to avoid abnormal competition among classmates, if someone is sick or injured and can't enter the palace to study this month, then... hehe, he will wait until next month. If he is still not well next month, he will enter the palace to study next month."
"And the quota that he vacated due to injury this month will remain vacant and will not be passed to the next person. And the quota he occupies next month and even the month after next will squeeze out the original sixth place. Also, don't be too happy too soon. Compared with Madam Hong, the tutor of Princess Yongping, whose rank is comparable to that of a close friend of the prince, you tutors have no actual rank."
Hearing this, Ji Jiu took a deep breath. In other words, if someone was playing tricks behind the scenes and caused the person who was supposed to be selected to be unable to enter the palace to read due to illness or injury, then this month's quota would be wasted, and it would rather be left vacant than be replaced by someone else.
Once the person who missed the opportunity recovers from his illness and injury and returns to play, he will take up the quota for others in the next round or even the round after that! In this way, the person who played tricks would lose more than he gained, and would instead attract more resentment from others!
Although the tutor has no rank, being able to work hard to show himself in front of the Crown Prince is an unprecedented opportunity! Not to mention others, I am afraid that even Zhang Chen and others who Zhang Shou has always been close to may envy their opportunity! However, this method of forcing people to give in with injuries and illnesses is not working, so what about secretly forcing others to show mercy during the exam so that you can be recommended
