Han Du's contemptuous tone made the group of princes tremble with anger. If it were anyone else, these princes would not listen to him at all. But looking at the eunuch who was still lying dead on the ground, no prince dared to say the word "no".
In the past, they were used to being flattered by others. Not only the maids and eunuchs said that they were the smartest people in the world, but even their father, queen, mother and concubine were full of joy and pride when they talked about them. But now Han Du calls him a fool. Who can bear this?
Han Du didn't care whether they could bear it or not. Seeing that no one dared to stand up, he shouted in a deep voice: "Now, you all take your things back to the wing and change all your clothes for me."
As if they had been granted amnesty, all the princes quickly picked up the wooden sheds in front of them and ran towards the wing without moving their heads.
It's too scary. How can this be a human being? This is simply a murderous god!
Han Du followed the crowd leisurely and came to the outside of the wing. He took one look and frowned. Xue Xiang is too kind to these princes. Everyone actually has an independent room?
oh!
Han Du suddenly came to his senses. These people had maids and eunuchs to serve them. If there were several people in one room, there would be no way to live there. It's good now. After I drive those palace maids and eunuchs out of the academy, these princes will have to live in a wing alone.
He wanted to share a house with several princes, but Han Du put it down as soon as he thought about it. Let them make their own choices. If they are willing to live together, I will not object, and if Han Du is willing to live alone, it will be up to him.
Seeing that the door of a wing was closed, Han Du suddenly shouted: "Come out after you change your clothes."
I shouted again, but there was no movement at all, and the door to the wing was still closed.
Han Du frowned and shouted again: "I told you to come out after changing your clothes. Are you all deaf?"
But when they waited, there was still no movement.
Han Du became angry and shouted: "Get out of here!!!"
At this moment, there was movement in all the rooms, and the doors were opened one by one.
But when he saw the person coming out, Han Du immediately frowned.
I saw that all the princes were still wearing their original python robes.
Han Du's face turned cold and he said viciously: "Okay, very good, everyone will treat my words as farts, right?"
"No, no, no, the court judge has misunderstood, misunderstood!" Zhu Gaochi, a fat man, immediately ran to the front with a smile on his round face.
It has to be said that Zhu Gaochi's behavior without hitting the smiling man made Han Du's anger go away a bit.
When Zhu Gaochi saw Han Du looking at him coldly, he quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to change my clothes. It's really, really..." As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed.
Han Du gave him a strange look and asked, "What is it really?"
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi had to sigh: "It's true that we have always used clothes to stretch out our hands and food to open our mouths. We have never worn clothes with our own hands since we were young. We really don't know what to do..."
Han Du was speechless for a moment and looked towards all the princes. Everyone caught by Han Du's gaze immediately nodded with concern.
It seems that he took it too much for granted. These princes made Han Du really know what it meant to have good clothes and good food. The eldest among them is already seventeen or eighteen years old, and he doesn’t even know how to wear clothes?
Han Du himself was once a marquis. To be honest, he had never asked his servants to help him with dressing and eating. He takes it for granted that other people will be like him. But I didn't expect that among these people, I was the outlier.
He drove away the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving no one to take care of the daily life of these princes, and they themselves couldn't even dress...
Han Du thought for a moment, and then ordered to the handyman next to him: "Come here and help them put on their clothes. While changing, teach them how to put on and take off their clothes."
Turning his head, Han Du said to the princes: "I will give you some time to drink tea. No matter who you are, you must learn how to put on clothes. If you can't learn it, you will see how I deal with you."
A group of servants brought all the princes into the wing again, and after a long time, everyone came out one after another. By the time the last one came out, it was already past tea time, but Han Du didn't bother to argue with him.
He asked in a deep voice: "Have you all learned how to dress?"
"Learn, learned..." A sparse voice sounded. Although the voices were a bit chaotic, all the princes still nodded.
Han Du looked at everyone and thought to himself that these people are not stupid after all. They just enjoy themselves too much. In the past, they were served by palace maids and eunuchs, and they only cared about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, so they developed a boring temperament.
However, the princes of the Ming Dynasty were all raised as pigs, so this is not surprising.
But since Lao Zhu threw these princes into the academy, it was impossible for Han Du to sit idly by and still raise them like pigs. It would be fine if they didn't come to the academy, but since they came to Handu, even if it was for the reputation of the academy, they must learn to be like a human being.
Even if they are pieces of mud, Han Du will hammer them into steel.
Han Du took a few steps and then said: "Originally, I wanted you to start studying now. But seeing that you can't even take care of yourself, why should you study? You should learn how to take care of yourself first. After you can take care of yourself, let’s talk about studying.”
"But don't worry, I will send someone to teach you all the things. In the past few days, you should first learn how to take care of yourself."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
After speaking, Han Du waved his hand towards the handyman. The servants left with the python robes of all the princes and stored them for them.
At the same time, Han Du said to one of them: "Go and put a five-string reward on it. We need a few students here to teach people to take care of housekeeping. Let's see if anyone is willing to come."
"Yes, sir." The handyman lowered his head and agreed.
There are many people in the academy who want to make more money, and five guan is not a small amount. Even if it is divided among ten people, one person can have 500 guan, which is equivalent to half of a student's monthly salary.
It didn't take long for students to accept the reward.
Han Du glanced at a few people and said, "Why are there only five of you?"
"Master Han, everyone else is busy, and only the five of us are here. But don't worry, Master Han, we were the best at housekeeping when we first entered the academy, and we will definitely be able to take care of them all in the shortest time. Church." The leading student bowed slightly towards Han Du and said with a smile.
While speaking, he couldn't help but glance curiously at the princes. He had long known that a group of people had come to the academy, but he didn't know who they were.
In the past few months, Xue Xiang had been tortured by these female eunuchs. He was afraid that they would conflict with the students in the academy, so he strictly ordered no one to come near this place.
Therefore, it was the first time for the leading students to come here and see these people.
After hearing this, Han Du nodded and did not continue to ask any more questions. He said casually: "Then they will be left to you. Let them take care of themselves as soon as possible."
"Master Han, please rest assured." The first student bowed.
Han Du nodded, turned and left here. The most important thing now is for these princes to learn to take care of themselves. As for reading, they can put it off for a while.
As soon as Han Du left, the courage of the princes began to swell.
Especially the Prince of Chu. He pulled at the green shirt on his body and felt that it was very uncomfortable to wear. The academy's green shirt is made of fine cotton, but compared with the silk and satin he used to wear, it's like one in the sky and one on the ground.
"Who are you? How dare you come to teach us? Do you know who we are?" Prince Chu said arrogantly, treating the leading student as a punching bag.
The leading student was not angry when faced with such rude words from the Crown Prince of Chu. He said calmly: "I, Zhang Xin, although I don't know your identities, but since you have entered the academy, we are classmates."
"Zhang Xin? Never heard of it." The Crown Prince of Chu smiled contemptuously, looking aloof, "Who is your classmate? Are you qualified?"
Zhang Xin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I am ranked No. 1 on the Hongwu 27-year-old Jiaxu Ke Palace Examination List. I wonder if I am qualified?"
"First place in the first class? Are you the number one scholar in the Jiaxu Department?" Prince Chu is not stupid. He still knows what it means to be first in the first class.
The reason why he looked down on Zhang Xin just now was because he thought Zhang Xin was just an ordinary student. He believed that he was of noble status and Zhang Xin was not qualified to teach him.
But it was different when Zhang Xin was the number one scholar in Jiaxu Branch. Even his father would not be able to hire such a person as his teacher, let alone teach him.
Someone casually walks out and is the number one scholar in one subject. This not only makes all the princes feel that the academy is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Zhu Gaochi stepped forward with a puzzled look on his face, and bowed his hands to Zhang Xin, "I, Zhu Gaochi, have met Brother Zhang."
"Brother Zhu, you're polite." Zhang Xin returned Zhu Gaochi's courtesy without being humble or overbearing.
If they didn't know Zhang Xin's identity as the top scholar in the Jiaxu Division, everyone would definitely think that Zhang Xin was rude. After all, facing the Crown Prince of Yan, how can ordinary people be treated as equals?
But now no one thinks that there is anything inappropriate in Zhang Xin's return gift.
"Since Brother Zhang is the number one scholar in the new subject, why did he stay in the academy instead of serving as an official?" Zhu Gaochi was very puzzled. You have already won the first prize in the exam. Is this an honor that many people dream of? The number one scholar who becomes an official is born to be higher than others. Once he becomes an official, he starts from the sixth rank and has a bright future. If you're lucky, you'll be a high-ranking minister of the third or fourth rank in a few years.
No matter how you look at it, it is countless times better than staying in the academy! Even a fool knows how to choose, let alone a smart person like Zhang Xin?
