The emperor is coming!
This was the atmosphere that instantly spread throughout the Jiuzhang Hall after a very light conversation was heard from the back - an atmosphere that could only be felt but not expressed in words. After all, although they were not so familiar with the emperor's voice, after the news of the emperor's visit to Jiuzhang Hall spread, they could only think of this one person who would barge in here and speak so brazenly.
As a teacher on the podium, even though he had his back to the crowd, Zhang Shou was not deaf, so he also sensed the atmosphere of the wolf coming—not the feared wolf coming, but the real wolf coming.
He had a good understanding of the emperor's character, so he didn't care about what the emperor said to the blond boy who called himself David Wu, and continued to write on the blackboard. Until he heard the words "Uncle, you are very strong", he couldn't help it anymore. He didn't know who the boy learned this from, especially when he heard the emperor's laughter, he had to warn him.
After giving the warning, he turned around. Seeing that the emperor sitting at the back had a calm expression on his face, and the blond boy wanted to lie on the table to avoid his sight, he knocked on the desk gently, trying to dispel the low pressure that suddenly filled the Jiuzhang Hall. It must be said that in this monarchical society, the pressure brought by the emperor's arrival is really not small.
"Don't be distracted during class! From points, lines, and planes to triangles is the first level in the geometry branch, and congruent triangles are the foundation of the foundation. These two proof questions..."
The emperor saw Zhang Shou continuing his lecture as if he didn't see him, so he couldn't help but look at the students in front of him, trying to tell from the backs of their heads, who was listening attentively and who was daydreaming. However, this was obviously an impossible task, and even though he had seen countless people, he couldn't accomplish it.
However, this did not prevent him from attending Zhang Shou's class. Although he was the emperor, as a student of Ge Yong, he had also been baptized by mathematics in his childhood, so he insisted on reopening Jiuzhang Hall, appointed Zhang Shou, who had insufficient qualifications and experience at the time, as a doctor of the Imperial College, and obtained the teaching materials of "Ge's New Mathematics" when it was first published, and was able to teach the third prince personally.
As an adult with a good foundation in mathematics, although it is not difficult to self-study the first few volumes of the so-called Ge's Mathematics, it is not too difficult. After all, these are still relatively basic links. What's more, he regards it as a leisure and entertainment parent-child activity outside of government affairs. However, the experience of reading a book and having someone give a systematic lecture is naturally different.
After listening quietly for a long time, and taking the time to observe the distressed expression of the blond boy next to him who tried his best to listen but couldn't keep up at all, the emperor finally laughed again. But this time, he didn't laugh out loud, but waited very patiently until Zhang Shou's class came to an end and said the word "get out of class dismissed", and then he stood up.
"Mr. Zhang, your lecture is good, but it is not very friendly to those who are just auditing the class."
Seeing that all the students turned around in unison, but with an expression that they didn't know whether to stand up and salute or continue sitting, Zhang Shou calmly walked to the emperor, bowed and saluted, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, but in my opinion, instead of taking special care of his progress, it is better to find him a teacher as soon as possible so that he can understand the Ming characters."
