Although Zhu Tingfang glared at Zhu Ying angrily, Miss Zhu was not scared, and his glare had no effect at all. Not only did she ignore Zhu Tingfang's glare, Zhu Ying even ran to the emperor's side, complaining with some annoyance that the emperor should not use
The patient with a headache used this excuse to call Chen Yuan from the Taiyuan Hospital, but in the end he received a glare from the emperor.
"You are so good after getting an advantage. If you don't have a headache, why don't you say that I have a headache or that Zhang Shou has a headache? It's because of you that I hurriedly called Ambassador Chen over!"
When Zhang Shou saw Zhu Ying, he immediately started talking, while Liu Feng hurriedly followed the order. He knew that he didn't need to worry about anything anymore, and he was silently thinking about the suggestion put forward by Mr. Wu Ge and that he agreed with.
Naturally, he couldn't help but worry about Deng Xiaodai following Wang Jie into such troubled waters, but he also knew that without Wang Jie, Deng Xiaodai was in the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. Even with the care of his uncle, he would never be harmed.
Regarding the new governor's treatment, those colleagues might secretly exclude him, so it would be better to follow Wang Jie and see if he can play his role.
As for the other people in Jiuzhangtang, it can be said that most of them have made a living in accounting, etc. If three or five people are assigned to assist Wang Jie at a time, then they can be regarded as specialized in their profession. However, the academic work of these people
There will inevitably be a disconnect. In this case, he not only needs to ask them to bring textbooks, but I am afraid he also needs to assign corresponding exercises.
In addition, should he send Qi Liang to follow Wang Jie first? Of course, in this case, even if he sends his first two students to Wang Jie as his right-hand man, Wang Jie will be replaced by Wang Jie.
Officials from outside will definitely think that he is arranging personal arrangements.
Zhang Shou was so distracted that Zhu Ying, who was messing around with the emperor, didn't notice it, but Zhu Tingfang noticed it. But just because he discovered this, he was really puzzled. After all, he was a son of an aristocratic family, and he had seen the emperor many times since he was a child.
It’s not surprising that he can be calm and composed in front of the emperor, but it’s okay for Zhang Shou to talk freely just now, but now he actually dares to... get distracted?
When Zhu Tingfang looked at Zhang Shou again and again, the emperor also noticed Zhang Shou's daze. He changed his mind and said with a smile: "Zhang Shou, Teacher Ge told me a few days ago
What do you think about rebuilding the calendar?"
While thinking about his own thoughts, he paid a little attention to what was happening on the other side, just in case when others asked him, he could only answer blankly. This is a unique skill that Zhang Shou had practiced when he was in school.
At that time, he was often able to accomplish such a feat. Even though he was napping, when the teacher suddenly asked him to answer a question, he could answer it fluently.
At this time, Zhang Shou came to his senses when the emperor directly called his name. However, he was unable to answer the question this time. Not only was he unable to answer, he even had to smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about the calendar.
Shouldn't this kind of research be left to Qin Tianjian? It's hard for a layman like me to comment. Besides, hasn't the teacher already requested the Sihai test?"
However, the emperor took his time and asked reluctantly: "You mean, I'd better let you take a position in the Qintian Prison, so that you can go and rebuild the calendar with the people in the Qintian Prison? What if I
If I don’t give you this salary, you won’t work for me?”
"That's not what I mean." Seeing that the emperor was clearly being unreasonable, Zhang Shou immediately got a head start on his head. At that moment, he simply changed his mind and said bluntly, "The calendar is more difficult than reaching the sky. Moreover, any one
All calendars need a return point, such as the Shangyuan in the Shangyuan Ji Nian. This point is difficult to calculate."
At this point, he said with a more sincere attitude: "Although I have some talent in arithmetic, it is a pity that it does not include calendars because I have no research on astronomy."
"Oh?" The emperor's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked with a half-smile, "It's not because of the previous imperial court's ban on officials in Qintianjian not being allowed to hold other positions, and the ban on folk astronomy and astrology, that you are unwilling to touch it.
Calendar?”
"Of course not." Zhang Shou said with a serious look on his face, "Didn't my teacher, Taishi Ge, once be in charge of the Qintian Prison? Didn't Qi Taichang also be in charge of the Qintian Prison for a period of time? Both Emperor Yingzong and the late Emperor Ruizong had already broken
This ban has been passed, and now there are many people in Qintian Prison who are proficient in arithmetic and astronomy, so there is no need for outsiders to tell us what to do."
Seeing that the emperor was looking at him unconvincingly, he simply said in an understatement: "If you let a layman like me compile the calendar, I can only use an easy way, for example, unify the number of days in each year and make it twelve
Months, 135780, these seven months have thirty-one days each, February has twenty-eight days, and the remaining months have thirty days, which is exactly three hundred and sixty-five days."
He just pretended not to see Zhu Tingfang, who was about to knit his brows into a knot, and said to himself: "Then, every four years is a leap year. In a leap year, add one day to February, making it twenty-nine days, three hundred and six days a year."
Sixteen days. And every hundred years, a year that is not divisible by four hundred is not a leap year. February still has twenty-eight days, and a year that is divisible by four hundred is a leap year."
Anyway, having said it all, he naturally said it succinctly: "As for how to calculate the starting point year, well, you can compare the new calendar with the current calendar and decide based on the days of the 24 solar terms. This simple calendar, four days of each month
There is one solar term on the fifth day, which is about twenty-two and twenty-three every month, and there is another solar term for twelve months, and there are two solar terms every month, which is exactly twenty-four solar terms."
At this point, Zhang Shou showed his hands and said: "Such a simple calendar is the limit of my ability as a layman. If the emperor asked me to work with the officials of Qin Tianjian to rebuild the complicated calendar currently in use, I would probably
There is only one thing you can do...pretend to be sick, or rather, pretend to be injured."
"Zhang Shou!" Zhu Tingfang finally couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Zhang Shou with an angry shout, "The calendar is such an important thing. Farming, fishing and hunting all rely on the calendar. How can you be such a childish person!"
Who asked the emperor to ask me about the calendar? If I calculated the calendar this time, will I be asked to calculate the solar and lunar eclipses next time? Will I also need to calculate the dates of the appearance of certain comets next time? How can I do this?
Experience! Besides, if the prediction of this thing is too accurate, it may cause the courtiers to be frightened or even wary. If the prediction is inaccurate, it will become an excuse for others to attack me. Why should I dig a hole for myself?
While Zhang Shou was slandering, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, I just said that this is the only way to save trouble. Mr. Zhu even said that I am fooling around. I ask Your Majesty to find another solution."
The emperor stared at Zhang Shou angrily and amusedly for a long time. Seeing that he was still calm and composed, he suddenly turned his head and asked Zhu Ying: "Yingying, what do you think of your Zhang Lang's messy calendar?"
"The emperor said it was all nonsense, so why are you asking me?" Zhu Ying snorted dissatisfied, and then sneered, "I don't know what the calendar is based on, I only know that anyway, the Ming Dynasty calendar is based on
There, I just tear out a page every day, and I just know what day it is, and I don't care about the rest. Ordinary people just look at the auspicious days for weddings and funerals."
But when she said this, she suddenly changed the topic and said: "But Ah Shou is just talking casually. Let alone Qin Tianjian, the old stubborns in the court will never accept this new simple calendar, so Your Majesty, you
Don’t make things difficult for Shou. He’s not omnipotent, so how can he really be good at anything that requires calculation?”
She saw Zhang Shou secretly gesturing to her. Otherwise, she would definitely help Zhang Shou and change the current calendar to what Zhang Shou said. But since Zhang Shou himself didn't want to go to Hun
Shui, of course she wants to help others get rid of this troublesome job.
Wouldn't Zhang Shou's free time be even less if he went to the Qintian Prison to interact with those white-haired old men who spend all day watching the stars?
The emperor was just waiting for the arrival of Chen, the Imperial Hospital envoy, when he suddenly thought of the calendar, so he asked casually. Who knew that Zhang Shou actually proposed an idea in a serious manner? Although it sounded incredible to him, he also thought about it.
I felt that Zhang Shou didn't just say it casually, but thought about it carefully.
Although he would not really adopt it, considering Zhang Shou's interesting ideas in the past, he still decided to go back and talk to Ge Yong, but he joked: "Since you have repeatedly refused, then I will not be the fate of Qin Tianjian.
It just so happens that I can give you a smaller salary."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying immediately quit: "Your Majesty, what you said is true. Apart from the special gift of the Winter Solstice, it is true that Ah Shou got three copies, but his salary from the Ministry of Household Affairs was...
Only a six-grade salary is given, where can I get three stipends?"
Zhu Tingfang, who tried hard to remain silent, finally couldn't bear to listen to his sister's nonsense, and immediately coughed and said: "There are many officials in this dynasty who hold other posts, but generally unless there is a special order, that is, the salary of the highest-ranking official is paid.
Zhang Shou has already reached the sixth rank of officialdom at a young age, which is a special favor from the emperor, Yingying, how can you criticize him?"
The emperor originally said it was just a joke, and Zhu Ying's tempered rebuttal meant it was just a sideshow for fun. But Zhu Tingfang scolded him so righteously, and he found it boring.
Zhu Jing, the eldest son, is good at everything, but he is a bit too straight... Could it be that he learned bad things from Liu Zhiyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of War?
However, when Chen Yuan from the Taiyuan Hospital hurried over, the emperor discovered that he had underestimated Zhu Tingfang's injuries.
Although he had escaped the inspection of his grandmother and stepmother before, when Chen Yuan envoy had arrived and the emperor persisted with a stern face, even if Zhu Tingfang was reluctant, he could only slowly untie his robe.
Then he took off the inner layer of jacket and close-fitting silk clothes, and then removed the large amount of white silk covering almost the entire chest, abdomen and right flank.
When the criss-crossing scars, some healed and some still visible, were revealed, everyone took a breath of cold air. Zhu Ying even subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but was blocked by Zhang.
Hold on tight.
"Brother, could it be that you charged into battle alone among thousands of troops? How could you be so seriously injured!"
Seeing that Zhu Ying was so angry that she was crying, Zhang Shou glanced at the emperor who looked equally ugly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Chief Chen of Taiyuan Hospital stared at the wounds for a long time with astonishment on his face. Then he hurried forward to take a closer look. After a while, he made a judgment: "The deepest wound is a puncture wound on the right side of the body. It has not yet healed. There are many wounds."
There were slashing wounds everywhere, the wounds on the chest and abdomen are the longest, and the other wounds are not too serious. But the remaining criss-crossing scars..."
Chen Yuanshi hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The remaining injuries are more like being whipped. Moreover, this whipping was done with hatred and was very severe."
I'm afraid I'll be beaten dozens of times! But who would be so cruel to the eldest son of Duke Zhao and the future heir to Duke Zhao's mansion?
Is it possible that it is Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing himself? No way, Zhu Tingfang's moral integrity can be said to be top-notch among the children of Guijie in the capital, and his literary and military talents are also quite outstanding. Zhu Jing is so full that he wants to torment his son like this? Even if it is
If you violate military law in the army, you won't be whipped! You know, because whipping is more likely to cause death and injury than military sticks, it was strictly forbidden in the time of Taizu!
Hearing the word "whipping", Zhu Ying's face suddenly turned murderous. How could she have never imagined how her eldest brother got this injury? There is no doubt that it was definitely the suffering he endured after being captured by Beiluo! Therefore, she simply
He didn't want to listen to the doctor's nonsense that Chief Chen carefully told the emperor - it was nothing more than a matter of care, apply medicine carefully to nurse him back to health, and turned around angrily and left.
But as soon as she left the Qianqing Palace, she staggered a few steps forward, then sat down on the high steps without any ladylike manner, and then buried her head between her knees, tears falling down uncontrollably, but
He stood firm and didn't make a sound.
At this moment, she forgot that the emperor had invited Chen, the envoy from the imperial hospital, on the grounds that she had a headache. She came out in a hurry and cried like this, which undoubtedly made the emperor's painstaking efforts in vain.
She only knew that at this moment she hated her cruel father, hated the generals who refused to save him, and even hated the ruthless Beibei soldiers. She thought that if her eldest brother had not followed her father on the expedition this time, he might not have fallen into this trap.
The desperate situation made her even more miserable.
But just when she was feeling sorry for herself, she suddenly felt something caressing the corner of her hair. She turned her head slightly with confused eyes and realized that it was Zhang Shou, and his fingers were wrapped around her swallowtail.
髾. However, she didn't feel the charm as before at all. She bit her lip hard and lowered her head between her knees again.
"Yingying, don't be so petty. Your Majesty has specially invited Chen from the Taiyuan Hospital to come here just for you. Won't he be embarrassed when you leave?"
Zhang Shou simply reached out and put his hand on Zhu Ying's shoulder. Seeing that she was trembling slightly but still not answering, he whispered: "You are angry with those who slandered your father and your eldest brother before. Of course, the emperor can understand your thoughts."
There are some people in the world who don’t go to the battlefield, don’t do practical things, and just make a living by trolling people all day long, but you can’t make it difficult for yourself when you’re angry.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the others with the corner of his eye, and saw that the guards guarding the Qianqing Gate not far away were still upright and motionless with their backs to them, and the few palace people in the courtyard were also standing still.
They were cleaning seriously, but no one seemed to be looking at them. As if they ignored his excuse, he reached out to pull Zhu Ying.
This time, Zhu Ying did not resist, and was easily pulled up by Zhang Shou, and then she was pulled into Qianqing Palace. When she returned to Dongnuang Pavilion, her eye circles were still a little red, especially when she saw that Chen Yuan was busy This was especially true when I was trying to re-bandage my elder brother's wounds.
The emperor also heard what Zhang Shou had just said outside, which was obviously for others to listen to. At this time, he said calmly: "It is easy to make people dissatisfied by condemning the crime based on words, but I will give justice to Zhao Guogong and his son."
