For people like Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan, who had passed five tests and cut six out of the examination room, and then made great achievements in the officialdom, and were regarded as top civil servants, Zhang Shou certainly did not need to memorize "Young School Qionglin"
He used two paragraphs in the original text to inspire the two of them. When he mentioned the table of contents, he even deliberately removed the astronomy paragraph in "Young Learning Qionglin".
The reason is very simple. Given the tendency of scholars these days to use philosophy and Taoist theology to explain natural science, it is better not to include astronomical knowledge. There is a natural course anyway!
However, Zhang Shou did not expect that Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan felt that since the emperor intended to relax the astronomical ban, the three walls, four elephants and twenty-eight constellations must be included. Considering that this can be regarded as ancient traditional culture, he did not express his opinion for the time being, but
I have repeatedly emphasized that you should not add anything too difficult or too mysterious.
As for who Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan would ask to compile the book, he had no control over it. Anyway, he had made up his mind that he would recruit the emperor himself to act as the president later, and then use his sharp tongue to
Cut off all those things that are too drastic. I believe the emperor will be happy to take over such ideological unification work.
As for finding a big and long-lasting task for Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan - even if everyone works together, a year and a half would be enough to compile it - Zhang Shou, who is always too busy, can only be considered as having fun alone.
Everyone was happy and contented for a while.
Of course, before going to find Lu Wan and Liu Zhiyuan, he made a special trip back to Jiuzhang Hall and gave the students a lot of homework.
When he finished talking about the matter and returned to Jiuzhangtang, he saw that the blond boy Wu David was still sitting in the last row, but he was not scratching his head and sitting on pins and needles as he initially thought, because at this moment, the man was actually holding a book.
He was reading the book with gusto. He approached quietly from behind, took a condescending look and realized that this was not a textbook, but class notes.
The way some letters and formulas were written in the notes actually imitated the italics on his blackboard. At first glance, it looked like the style of class notes taken by some students in later generations. For a moment, he couldn't help but take a second look, without moving.
The blond boy in front of me was looking at him with beaming eyes. After a long while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently and skillfully snatched the note from the other person's hand.
Suddenly a hand stretched out from behind and snatched away the notes in his hand. Wu David was in a panic. However, he subconsciously reached out to grab it, but he missed it. He turned around in frustration, and when he found that it was Zhang Shou, he
Immediately, all his arrogance disappeared. He stood up hurriedly and lowered his head, but did not dare to say a word.
When Zhang Shou finished writing on the blackboard before and went out, he deliberately buried his head on the desk and prayed a thousand times in his heart that no one would see him. It worked. Zhang Shou didn't seem to see him at all and went straight out to talk to him.
Zhang Chen spoke.
Moreover, when Zhang Shou came back later, he turned around after assigning a bunch of questions and still didn't seem to see him. Relieved, he quietly sat in the corner and pondered the equation on the blackboard for a long time.
But he couldn't figure it out, so he suddenly changed his mind and came up with the idea of his front desk.
Seeing that the person was immersed in the problem, he leaned forward and quietly reached out, taking out a pamphlet on the person's left side and reading it.
And he only flipped through it and was sure that it was notes. Although it was messy in some places, it was much better than reading a textbook and guessing at it when he didn't know many Chinese characters. After all, he always knew the letters that Zhang Shou often used.
Known.
But how foolish and bold he had been just now, he was so honest now, especially when he saw Zhang Shou taking the note and walking straight to his front desk from the corner of his eye, patting the person on the shoulder and returning the note.
When he went back, the other party still didn't understand what happened, and he didn't look back to see him as the initiator, which made him even more frustrated.
"Come out with me."
Without disturbing the other students who were immersed in the topic, Zhang Shou left Jiuzhang Hall after saying these four words. When he stood still in the courtyard and saw Wu David following him out with his head drooped, he took the time to ask
He said: "You are very brave. How dare you encourage Zhang Chen to bring you here? Does Eunuch Liang know that you are skipping class like this?"
"No, no, no, I didn't skip class, absolutely not!" Wu David quickly shook his head like a rattle, "Sir, suddenly went to the palace today because of something. Before leaving, he asked me to go to the master's study to tidy up. I was working.
, that Mr. Zhang came suddenly and said he wanted to borrow books..."
Zhang Chen had already roughly explained the second half of the process, so Zhang Shou interrupted directly: "Okay, no need to say more. Mr. Liang is not here. You didn't go back to review your homework after cleaning the study, but you came here instead."
Are you here to eavesdrop and learn? You don't even think about it. Do you understand those professional terms and nouns? I will give you a set of "New Edition of Gurdjieff's Arithmetic". Do you recognize all the words?"
"You haven't learned all the words, you haven't learned how to speak, and you want to fly?"
After staying in Zhang Yuan for so many days, Wu David's vocabulary and conversational skills have made great progress - after all, at such an old age, it is when he has the strongest language learning ability - so the blond boy can already listen to Zhang Shou's words
He understands 70% to 80%. But just because he understands, he can't help but want to fight.
"Literature, history and arithmetic are not in conflict, they can be studied at the same time..."
Hearing that the blond boy in front of him blurted out an idiom, but said "go in parallel" as "learn in parallel", he couldn't help but laugh. But facing that face that was so sincere...even so sincere as to beg, he felt as if he had
I pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea.
"Since you want to learn so much, I will give you a set of these textbooks later. I will ask Eunuch Liang to read the text to you after giving you lessons every day. As for those formulas and symbols, I think you are more familiar with them than Eunuch Liang.
There is no need for him to explain it to you."
At this point, the person was already surprised and happy. He paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The first two volumes are the basics. Since you want to learn, let me see how much time it takes you to complete it."
Master the contents of these two volumes. Moreover, this mastery is not yours to decide. I have a booklet of exercises, and I will take the questions from it to test you later."
Seeing the confident face of the blond boy in front of him, Zhang Shou couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Don't underestimate elementary school mathematics. When he was studying, the application problems of elementary school mathematics were already ever-changing, and this didn't include all kinds of brain-burning ones.
Mathematical Olympiad. Later, even many former high-achieving students had headaches when facing elementary school math problems when tutoring their children.
I hope this kid will still be as enthusiastic as he is now when he looks back at the thick exercise book... Just like Lu Sanlang who was addicted to solving problems at the beginning, that is the real mathematical genius.
After solving Wu Dawei's problem, Zhang Shou planned to let him move freely in the public school. He was overjoyed to see him. He suddenly remembered something, and immediately stopped him and asked: "Eunuch Liang, did you tell me what happened in the palace?"
Call him over?"
Because Zhang Shou was so easy to talk to, Wu David was of course willing to answer. But he really didn't know much about this matter. After racking his brains to recall it for a long time, he said with uncertainty: "It's just a young boy who came here."
, his speaking style was similar to that of Mr. Liang. After whispering with him for a while, his face became very ugly. I remember..."
"I remember he seemed to say, why is this happening again?" Wu David accurately recounted Liang Jiucheng's original words, and then said with some distress, "I chased him and asked him when he would be back, but he said, let me
Go and tidy up the study, and after finishing these things, he should be back! I really don’t know anything else."
After confirming that it was impossible for Wu David to ask anything, Zhang Shou nodded and said, "I understand. You come back with me in the evening. Now you can go wherever you want, as long as you don't leave the public school gate."
Seeing the blond kid who lied about his age cheered and ran away, but still headed straight in the direction of Jiuzhangtang, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing. He touched his chin thoughtfully, but in his heart he was thinking about Liang Jiucheng's sudden return.
The reason for the palace. Although he doesn’t really care about the secrets of what happens in the palace, but who would let some things get involved in him after they are revealed?
Madam Tai is still ill. I hope nothing will happen again!
At this moment, the Qianqing Palace is filled with a suffocating and stiff atmosphere. Fortunately, the three people standing in it, whether it is Hua Qi, Chu Kuan, or Liang Jiucheng who was recalled urgently, every time
Everyone was the least afraid of this dull atmosphere, so they stood like clay sculptures, as if they didn't see the emperor's stern and angry look.
Seeing that no one spoke, the emperor couldn't help but became impatient: "Where's the evidence? Could it be that you two went to investigate for so long and then came back and said a bunch of baseless things?"
"Your Majesty, my servant just said that this is just a rough inference made by your servant and Mr. Hua Qi based on the personal and physical evidence and clues left behind. It is not evidence. If your Majesty feels that it is unfounded or absurd, then please reiterate.
Virgin slave..."
"What's the big deal? When did you learn to do this annoying thing when asking for forgiveness in advance?" Hua Qi blocked Chu Kuan's next words angrily, and then sighed.
"Your Majesty, those people who had been in contact with the eldest prince were previously imprisoned in Huangzhuang. I selected the most reliable people to guard them day and night, and then secretly ordered some of them to monitor each other, and then interrogated them by mistake with Mr. Chu to find out the details.
, and then the suspicious person was finally brought out. He did say nonsense during the subsequent interrogation that the descendants of Emperor Taizu established their country overseas."
"But he died the next day after confessing. According to the investigation, he should have died at night. The cause of death was poisoning. But I can guarantee that I checked the person before arresting him and there was no poison in his mouth. The day he died
At night, I and Eunuch Chu were in the same room with him and did not detect any clues, so we can only say that there is no human witness or physical evidence."
"The minister and Eunuch Chu did make mistakes, but there was nothing false in what they said."
Only then did Chu Kuan continue Hua Qi's words and said calmly: "As Hua Qi said, because Eunuch Liang is the person most familiar with Emperor Taizu's manuscripts and classics in the ancient and modern Tongji library, this slave asked to
Eunuch Liang is here. We have collected and preserved all of that guy's belongings, from his clothes, shoes and socks, to all the objects that may be written on."
"Moreover..." He didn't even blink, and said the words he had just mentioned in an understatement, "This person once said when he couldn't survive the torture that the second prince was now in their hands.
inside."
Seeing that the emperor's face was as dark as Bao Gong, Liang Jiucheng had to persuade him from the side: "Your Majesty, don't say that the person who made the confession is dead. There is no proof. Even if he is still alive, who knows that he is not telling the truth out of temporary delusion?"
"Emperor Taizu set sail to the sea, and then there was no news. Although a man named Lao Xianyu who was sent back by Academician Zhang said that he had seen some stone tablets in Haidong Continent, it cannot be used as evidence after all. Not to mention the so-called descendants' opinions.
There is no evidence. You must know that over the years, the DPRK and China have been in turmoil due to changes in leadership, but has anyone ever jumped out?"
"Since there was no turmoil in the past, how come now when the world is at peace, there are such monsters and monsters jumping out? Isn't this a typical case of choosing what is easy and choosing what is difficult? Furthermore, in the world, except for the royal family and some related ones,
How many people know that Emperor Taizu disappeared while sailing overseas after abdicating the throne? Records and history books say that he died at a healthy age!"
Liang Jiucheng's words made Hua Qi and Chu Kuan nod at the same time. Even though they were questioning the results of their investigation, such words were undoubtedly reasonable.
However, this did not convince the emperor. It can be said that the throne was passed down from generation to generation, and there were even short-lived emperors among them. The pursuit of Taizu's whereabouts was no longer as persistent as it was at first. However, his father Ruizhong drove Emperor Taizu crazy
The perfect inheritance of admirers was passed on to him.
Therefore, he sneered, and then said with a sullen face: "It would be too arbitrary to conclude that the story is false based on these. You know, Dalang's death was mysterious, and even Erlang's shipwreck incident also has many doubts!
If it cannot be found out, I would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist."
Liang Jiucheng was suddenly choked and speechless. Although he wanted to ask the emperor, "If you must believe this is true and how you plan to investigate, he still held it back. What he didn't expect was that the emperor actually
The question was answered next: "Go down and draw the best men and the best ships from the royal fleet, and then prepare to weigh anchor and sail eastward!"
"I will send people to Qiongzhou Mansion to urge me. I have already sent people to get the old salted fish who once encountered the big island on his eastward journey...no, it was the mainland back to the capital as soon as possible! Let him lead the way! In the imperial court
Those old stubborns in the country don’t agree to send an official ship, but I have my own ship!”
Has it finally come to this point... Maybe all the emperor needs is a reason, or even an excuse. So if the so-called witness is dead, the effect will only be better. Otherwise, if the person is alive, he will be proficient in various punishments to attack the mind.
If the flaws are exposed under interrogation by masters of Taoism, this so-called overseas founding of the country will be impossible.
Thinking of this, Liang Jiucheng, Eunuch Liang couldn't help but sigh deeply. But then, the emperor looked at him.
