The Emperor is about to visit the Imperial Academy to reward the children of nobles who had bravely fought against the rebel army. He will also meet with the students to encourage them to study!
He left home in the middle of the night and hurriedly rushed to the Jiuzhang Hall of the Imperial College, only to be hit with a bunch of difficult terms from the Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. He left in a panic and then hurried to the palace to attend the morning court. When the court meeting was halfway through, he heard such a news in a daze. His first reaction was... Oh no, this is horrible!
You know, cleaning up the Jiuzhang Hall is not a matter of a day or two, not to mention that many places are in tatters!
He hoped that Zhou Xun, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, would be able to come out and dissuade them, or at least delay the time. However, when he saw Zhou Xun in front of him twirling his beard and smiling, it was obvious that he was quite happy about the emperor's sudden visit to the Imperial College, and those bigwigs like the Grand Secretaries and the Chancellors looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not object, Luo Siye was completely desperate.
How he wished that Xu Heizi had been smarter last night and had just broken down the doors of more senior officials!
I'm afraid most people thought that those playboys accompanying Zhang Shou to take up the post in the Imperial College was just a childish prank, and they didn't take it seriously. They never thought that they had caused such trouble!
It's Emperor Taizu's fault, why only officials of the fifth rank and above can attend the regular court? Other officials can attend the third, fifth or ninth day. Otherwise, if the doctors of the Imperial Academy come together, the news will spread and everyone will stop the emperor from going to the Imperial Academy!
In the Imperial College, not long after Zhang Shou learned the news, Zhang Chen and others swarmed in, all dressed in the clothes of students, all with joyful expressions. When he asked again, they all said that Zhu Ying had sent someone to tell them the news.
When they learned that it was the Emperor who was rewarding everyone in the Imperial College, even those who were invisible at home and had been confined by their elders when they returned home last night were all dressed up and let out.
Then, Zhu Ying was surrounded by everyone, thanking them profusely. The guys who were a little ashamed of hugging the thigh of the young lady at the beginning were now extremely grateful. After this trip of the emperor's reward, how could they not turn over a new leaf when they returned home
However, after hearing Lu Sanlang proudly recount his tiring but refreshing experience last night, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and couldn't help but regret not staying to watch this big show.
However, even Zhang Chen, who disliked Lu Sanlang the most, had to admit that it was absolutely impossible for him to play the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic well enough to fool a group of school officials. He didn't understand anything about Yangma Biebin...
After a while of chaos, Lu Sanlang suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted, "My student's clothes are still at home... And young master, where is your official uniform?"
Official uniform...
Zhang Shou was stunned at first, then he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Where did he get the official uniform? He was suddenly appointed as a doctor of the Imperial College the day before yesterday, and then he hurried back home. Yesterday, he rushed to Beijing from home after lunch, and did a big cleaning in the Imperial College late at night. How could he have time to wear official uniforms
Emperor Taizu did once issue a decree for purchasing clothing at public expense, but it was later abolished by the court due to the high cost. Nowadays, except for the top three winners of the palace examination and high-ranking officials such as the Grand Secretaries and the Shangshu who are specially granted crowns and clothes, all other officials have to provide their own official uniforms!
