The emperor personally received this great Confucian, and the fact that there were such talented people in the clan was really unexpected to the emperor.
Because of his closeness to this royal family, the emperor did not hold a court meeting, but held a family banquet in the palace to receive this wizard. After the emperor saw these three works, he ordered Zhang He to investigate his information.
, this man is not only good at arithmetic and proficient in astronomy, he is also a very good political minister. When he served in the local area, he was respected and supported by the local people!
After Liu Hong was brought to the palace by Song Dian, he was very grateful for the emperor's love. Liu Hong was not tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a vicissitudes of face. He didn't look like a great scholar, but like a country man, but he just didn't look good.
Such a good prodigy amazed countless great scholars. When the emperor saw him, he walked over with a smile, held his hand, and said with a smile: "My Zhang Hou has arrived!"
Hearing the emperor's praise, Liu Hong was a little excited and even a little confused. He saluted hurriedly without saying he dared.
Seeing Liu Hong's appearance, Song Dian, who came to see him off, twitched his face, but said nothing and turned around and left.
The emperor kindly asked him to sit down, and they sat across from each other. The banquet was not big, and there was only room for the two of them. However, this showed the emperor's respect for him. The two chatted for a while, and the emperor also took the opportunity to ask.
As for the way of governing, this person is not good at talking, but the way of governing is somewhat similar to that of Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi. They are both relatively gentle and focus on loving the people.
The emperor is quite satisfied with this. Ministers like Yang Qiu are naturally good, but if there are too many, it will be troublesome.
"Your Majesty, I have been fond of arithmetic since I was a child... This so-called square field means calculating the size of plane figures, including lengths, triangles, ladders, circles, fans, bows, rings, etc. Each calculation method is
Different, there are still fractions..."
"Corn is converted according to the proportion of grains, which is called Jin Youshu, and its proportional distribution law is called Shanfenshu..." When talking about arithmetic, Liu Hong suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, and he talked so eloquently,
The speaking speed and duration were probably comparable to those of the old Taiwei. Liu Hong explained his works to this talented and strategic emperor, introducing each chapter very clearly.
The emperor listened quietly with a smile on his face, and some couldn't help showing expressions of surprise, surprise, and excitement.
I was thinking: What on earth is this guy talking about???
From the moment he started talking about Fang Tian, I couldn't understand a word he said. Why didn't I teach him before?
When he finally finished speaking, the emperor clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Today, I have a sudden enlightenment. The master of arithmetic is worthy of his name!"
Liu Hong also became happy. He simply regarded the emperor as his confidant and comrade. He frowned and asked solemnly: "Your Majesty thinks that there is a surplus and a shortage, a surplus is adequate and a deficit is adequate, and two surplus and two are not."
, maybe listed as a separate chapter? Nowadays, most mathematicians do not admit this, calling it nonsense!!"
"Well...I...I think that if the yin is not enough, we should use yang energy..."
"kindness?"
"I think what you think is the most correct. Tomorrow I will hold a court meeting to criticize a group of ignorant scholars!" the emperor said seriously. Liu Hong nodded and clapped his hands with a smile.
: "That's right. In addition, Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."
Oh my god... The emperor smiled and said, "What else do you have to do?"
"I wonder if Your Majesty knows astronomy?"
"I don't know..."
"Your Majesty, don't be humble!"
"..."
"After careful research, I finally discovered that the "Quarter Calendar" used today is not accurate. I observed the celestial phenomena at night and calculated that the return to the new year should be 365,000/589.
One hundred and forty-five...the moon in one lunar cycle is 29,773/1,457...This is the fixed lunar calendar, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
The emperor took a breath of cold air and nodded with a smile: "Very good, very good... wonderful, wonderful!"
"Your Majesty thinks this..."
"Mr. Liu, I suddenly feel a little unwell. How about we talk about it someday?"
Liu Hong stood up nervously and asked, "What's wrong with your majesty? I know a little bit about medical skills..."
"No problem, no problem, I just have a headache. You can go home first. I will summon you again for a meeting tomorrow..."
"I hope that your majesty will take care of your holy body. I take my leave. Your majesty, as for the matter of over and under, over and under, over and over, I hope that your majesty will be able to speak for me tomorrow and put an end to the lies!" Liu Hong shouted at him.
He bowed and left slowly. Song Dian took him out of the palace. When Song Dian returned to the main hall, the emperor was rubbing his forehead and sighing helplessly.
Song Dian was secretly happy, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He suppressed his laughter and lowered his head.
The emperor raised his head, looked at his appearance, became furious, and cursed: "You idiot, what are you laughing at? Why don't you hurry up and get me a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"!" Song Dian paid his respects and ran out quickly.
, the emperor shook his head secretly, this person must be sent to other places to serve as an official, and he must not stay in the temple, otherwise, he will not be able to bear it!
That night, he read through "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" all night. On the second day, the emperor was extremely tired and held a court meeting.
After the officials arrived, they all realized that the emperor was tired. They paid homage to the emperor and asked him to cook Wang Jie's letter. After completing the process as quickly as possible, they officially began the court meeting. This time, the court meeting was mainly among the officials to praise Liu Hong.
, promoted him by the way, Liu Hong sat among the officials, looking at the emperor with ardent eyes. Of course, he was not doing it for fame and fortune, but for the emperor to confirm his argument.
The emperor just asked a few questions about Liu Hong, and all the officials agreed one after another and praised him. Liu Hong's face turned red with embarrassment. Then, the officials began to discuss his reward. Yuan Feng stood up and said: "In this way,
Liu Hong's meritorious service should be promoted to doctor, offered wine as a sacrifice, and bestowed upon the minister..." When the emperor heard this, his eyes darkened, and he quickly said, "If he can be conferred in this way, wouldn't it be a sign of humiliation of his talents?"
"In my opinion, I should give him two thousand stones!"
The officials understood that the emperor wanted a heavy reward, so they started to discuss it again. After the discussion, he was given the title of Danyang Prefect. It can be said that he suddenly became a pastor and became prominent for a while, but Liu Hong still looked at the emperor eagerly.
, the emperor felt helpless, it was all the trouble he had brought upon himself. He glared at the officials around him and said angrily: "Nine chapters of arithmetic, regarding the matter of surplus and deficiency, I heard that some officials actually called it nonsense!"
"I believe that this method is correct for great arithmetic benefits. If you don't have proof, don't talk nonsense!"
After saying this, all the officials were immediately shocked. When did the emperor learn arithmetic?
We actually came up with the idea of over-deficit. It seems that we still underestimated this Holy Emperor.
Of course, there were some who were unconvinced. They stood up and started to say: "It is a calculation based on nothing, and something is created out of nothing. How can it be called arithmetic?" The emperor, who thought he had survived, smiled again.
Damn it, if Mr. He were here, I would have killed this guy with one sword!
