This day was the day when Zhang Shou taught in the East Palace. Other lectures were held every five days, but for him, it became every other day. However, this thing that others would be excited about became a burden for him. Although he was closer to Ciqing Palace in the morning from Zhang Garden, the problem was that this meant that Jiuzhang Hall would have to be free for a day every other day!
The worst thing is that he has already recruited dozens of people in two grades. It would not be enough for him to be there all day long, not to mention that he would be assigned to Ciqing Palace for half a day
But there was a shortage of manpower. Even if Lu Sanlang was gifted, he could apply mathematics to other subjects, but he was completely incapable of physics. After all, if you expect people these days to accept classical mechanics, you have to learn it step by step. Besides, Zhang Shou himself hadn't had time to teach physics to people many times, so how could he expect Lu Sanlang to be a good substitute teacher
Besides, Lu Sanlang now shares the duties of Donggong tutor, or substitute teacher, with Qi Liang. It is really too much to handle everything. In the words of Fatty Lu himself, he now wishes he could split himself into two, and he also has to take care of his cultural industry which is constantly merging other bookstores!
Therefore, when Zhang Shou arrived at the gate of Ciqing Palace today, he was thinking about whether he could persuade the third and fourth princes to change the class from every other day to every three days. He tried to cover three days' content in one day, and then assign a lot of homework. Anyway, students these days are not as tired of studying as those in later generations, so even if the sea of questions tactics are rejected, at most they will only be complained about.
But he had just stood at the door for a while when someone ran out of the Ciqing Palace. It was the naughty child, the Fourth Prince. He grabbed his sleeve without caring about anything, looked around for a moment, and immediately whispered, "Teacher, teacher, great news!"
After a very serious prefix, the Fourth Prince lowered his voice and said, "The Second Prince may be dead!"
What the hell? Zhang Shou's first reaction was confusion. Although the Second Prince had been away from Beijing for only a month, he had almost forgotten about the unlucky guy who had poisoned Kunning Palace because the Third Prince had been canonized as the Crown Prince. When he came to his senses, he looked at the Fourth Prince with a look of severe reproach.
The Fourth Prince understood this and quickly explained, "Of course I asked the Emperor for permission before I dared to tell you, Teacher! And the Emperor also said that the Second Prince's death will be announced at the morning court today!"
He did not call him "Second Brother" or "Royal Brother", because usually, unless he saw the Second Prince in person, the naughty kids would call him that. When he saw that Zhang Shou was indeed a little dazed, he spoke very fast and explained the series of events that happened last night. While he was talking, he was glad that he had obtained his father's consent early, otherwise he would be scolded by the teacher for leaking the forbidden language.
Zhang Shou listened quietly. He did not find it strange that Madam Tai, Jiu Niang, and even Zhu Ying participated in the whole process. He also guessed that Song Huishou probably ran to the Duke of Zhao's mansion to report as soon as he returned to the capital. There is no doubt that this was a very wise choice, because if he ran to tell him, all he could do was send the person to the Zhu family!
