Eight hundred and fortieth chapters heroes see the same
Although the emperor took him with him last night and walked around the ancient and modern Tongji library for more than half an hour, and he also read a lot of Emperor Taizu's letters, but after asking himself, the third prince found that he could barely remember clearly.
There were only three places. And when he got up early to confirm with the fourth prince, the fourth prince swore that he remembered five places.
However, when he visited this place again, he had only walked a few steps when he felt someone tugging on his sleeve. When he turned around, he saw that it was the fourth prince who was looking at him with a frustrated face. The person murmured in a very low voice.
: "Third brother, all the bookshelves in this Gujintongjiku look the same. I thought I remembered the location and the serial number of the bookshelf before, but now I probably can't find them."
"I'm sorry for you, I probably can't remember any of it now."
The third prince suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Liang Jiucheng, who was walking forward with Zhang Shou as if he was unaware, and then lowered his voice and said to his fourth brother: "Actually, I only found out after I came here that I followed my father last night.
I was wandering around in the dark. In fact, I didn’t know many directions very well, so I probably didn’t remember them.” It’s better to say that I didn’t remember it!
The fourth prince was originally full of guilt, but when the third prince confessed like this, he suddenly became elated - of course not because the third prince had forgotten it, but because his third brother had not concealed anything from him. He immediately followed the third prince with his head held high.
After the prince's death, I felt that I must remember a few places carefully today, but then I thought of a big problem.
My father didn't come with me today, so how could I find those Taizu's handwritten notes that were hidden so deeply?
But just when the fourth prince was full of confusion, he saw Liang Jiucheng reach out and grab it from the bookshelf. He just took down a book that was bound like other books, and then placed it on the desk with ease: "
Scholar Zhang, this is the manuscript of Emperor Taizu. Although it is a thick pile, some pages only have one or two lines of words."
"But these papers are many years old, and you have to wear silk gloves to read them. Although predecessors in the past generations have copied them, and I am the same, the essence should be better able to see the essence of these originals that have been collected for many years."
Chinglish mixed with pinyin, but also the essence... The real essence is the drawings of artillery and guns left by Emperor Taizu to you, not this kind of diary that is most likely to be a private complaint by a time traveler.
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but of course he would not turn a deaf ear to Liang Jiucheng's instructions. He immediately put on his gloves obediently and opened the elegantly bound Taizu's Notes with a solemn pilgrim expression.
Every word in this manuscript is really handwritten, and it can be seen that it is an authentic work, because people who can write English letters in such an ugly way are quite common in later generations. These manuscripts seem to be very old, probably because they are afraid of being damaged by flipping.
Therefore, they are pasted one by one on special hard paper, so it looks like a thick tome, but in fact there are not many sheets.
As for the content on the first page, Zhang Shou cursed in his heart after reading it - it's so boring!
Because it is different from the Taizu's handwritten notes he obtained, which describe his origins and the traveler's diary he pursued in his later years. This thing is completely a travel note. Saying a travel note really gives Taizu face, because it clearly means that today Cao Guogong
Invite me, the emperor's old boss, to dinner. After the meal, we all go to drink wine together, and then make a big fuss in a certain building, causing a huge commotion.
In order not to arouse suspicion, he quickly turned to the second one, and then found that it was still the diary of a day trip to the minister's home... At this time, he knew what he was looking for when he turned it over, and it was natural that he was taking a leisurely stroll, occasionally frowning and pointing with his hand.
Among them, words such as a or an seem to have appeared in arithmetic books, but generally speaking, it is slow in the front and fast in the back.
It fully reflects the characteristics of a person who is reading this kind of heavenly manuscript for the first time - if you read slowly at the front, you want to think about it carefully, and if you read quickly at the back, you are confused and can't see clearly, so you rush past it.
And just by scanning the whole article, he was very sure that this neatly bound Taizu's Notes was the diary of the emperor and the old heroes about eating, drinking and having fun. It was probably of corresponding value in the study of historical figures. As for the current emperor's current situation,
There is no help at all for distressing things.
However, after reading the Taizu's Notes to the end and comparing it with the Taizu's Notes that he got from the secret box, Zhang Shou gradually discovered a difference, that is, the proportion of English in it is slightly larger, and Chinglish
And the proportion of self-made grammar is relatively small. Of course, grammatical errors and sentence reversal are quite common.
There were many words that I couldn't remember how to spell. A certain Taizu didn't bother and simply replaced them all with circles, unlike in the Taizu's handwritten notes, which often used pinyin to refer to them, just like primary school students writing essays.
If he was right, the contents in the secret box were the true secrets of Taizu. As for the things in the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library... they were probably mostly useless things.
But people don’t think about it. Once the thing that is so boring is deciphered, and then the secret box in the plaque of Jiuzhangtang is successfully released, comparing the two, people will be able to understand at least half of it, right?
Talking about the papers and reference books that Taizu kept mentioning in his letters, he didn't find them in the secret box at all!
Liang Jiucheng saw Zhang Shou's appropriately confused and troubled expression, but remained calm. Seeing that the fourth prince rushed towards him and asked the teacher what he thought, Zhang Shou smiled bitterly and shook his head. The third prince's face was full of disappointment.
He sighed softly, then solemnly put the tome away again, climbed up the ladder and put it back in place.
Zhang Shou looked at the person's movements that were truly like a pilgrim. Although he couldn't see clearly what the third floor of the bookshelf was like, he was sure of one thing, that is, there was absolutely no trace of dust on it.
If the other bookshelves in the Gujintongji Library were also in this spotless condition, then he would have nothing to say.
But if only the Taizu Manuscripts were treated like this, then even for an outsider like him, finding the Taizu Manuscripts here would not be like finding a needle in a haystack, it would just be a matter of time.
The fourth prince was not surprised that Zhang Shou "got nothing". After reading the first part of the manuscript, he deliberately dragged the third prince behind and muttered as he walked: "Father, you were still like that last night."
It's serious, but judging from Eunuch Liang's skillful appearance, he must know exactly where these Taizu's manuscripts are placed. In this case, why do you want us to write them down?"
Before the third prince had time to answer, Liang Jiucheng, who was more than a dozen steps ahead, said without looking back: "Fourth prince, this servant has been doing things in this ancient and modern Tongji library for decades. From the beginning,
First, I cleaned the bookshelf, and later I organized the collection of books. Although there are a vast number of books here, the location of each book is remembered in my mind."
"After all, there are not enough Sikuquanshu to fill a library here. They are mainly rare and unique books from the Song Dynasty, as well as classics that were preserved before the Yuan Dynasty. There are only a few thousand kinds."
The fourth prince almost stared out of his eyes. Not only because he was so far away and he spoke in a very low voice, but was actually heard by Liang Jiucheng, but also because Liang Jiucheng claimed to be able to remember the locations of all the books clearly!
So, Zhang Shou, who had always been regarded as the naughty kid, could not care that he was on business at this time. He looked around, suddenly rushed to a bookshelf, stuck out his butt and struggled to hold out a book at the bottom.
, as soon as he saw the cover, he quickly looked around and caught the details that he had not noticed because of the dim lights last night.
I love that the corners of this bookshelf are engraved with celestial stems and earthly branches and the number of layers to distinguish them!
He didn't even think about whether such a large ancient and modern general collection library could be used by just sixty bookshelves composed of heavenly stems and earthly branches. He directly shouted loudly: "Eunuch Liang, this is the third floor of the Wumao bookshelf from the left.
Three books, do you know what those are?"
Liang Jiucheng didn't seem to expect that the fourth prince would suddenly cause trouble. He was stunned for a moment and then said calmly: "It's "Annotation of the Three Kingdoms" by Pei Songzhi. There are sixty-five volumes in total. Since the fourth prince said it was the third book from the left, it should be the tenth.
Volumes nine to twenty-seven.”
The fourth prince looked down with his eyes widened, and turned over the pages in disbelief. When he was sure that it was correct, he couldn't help but quickly picked up the book and put it back to its place. He didn't care that the third prince was looking at him with reproachful eyes.
He chased after Liang Jiucheng. Then...then Eunuch Liang finally enjoyed the treatment of a naughty kid with a hundred thousand reasons.
Zhang Shou on the side saw that Liang Jiucheng was not tired of it at first, and gradually became unable to resist, and finally almost ran away. Then he finally stood up calmly: "Eunuch Liang, Zheng Jing has such a temper that he can do whatever comes to his mind.
It’s very frustrating to pester people.”
As Zhang Shou spoke, he dragged the naughty child over. Without waiting for anyone to protest, he said word by word: "If you really want to learn, it's very simple. Starting from tomorrow, you can learn the current math in the textbook."
Memorize all those formulas in alphabetical order, and I guarantee that within three years of practicing this, you will be able to achieve Eunuch Liang's photographic memory."
Three years... If I really had to memorize it for a year, I would have been tortured to death!
The fourth prince finally looked sad and pretended to be a good boy - who knew that memorizing formulas backwards was too scary? But the third prince was happy to accept the lesson this time. Seeing Zhang Shou continuing to chat and laugh with Liang Jiucheng, he
He stepped forward and tapped his fourth brother's head gently, with an expression that said, "You should be more considerate."
After such a small episode, Zhang Shou flipped through four more notebooks. In addition to the first essay about eating, drinking and having fun, these notebooks were: "Proudly Accepting the Adopted Son" and "The Heroic Glass of Wine".
The military power was released, the prince was not granted the title of king despite his merits, and he was demoted to a higher rank and enjoyed the title... all described are the reactions of the officials and the people.
Anyway, these notebooks are said to be useless. In fact, many of the contents are of historical value. But to say they are useful, it is really hard to say that they are useful because the emperor is shouting and talking and boasting about himself!
Zhang Shou thought that when Liang Jiucheng observed from the sidelines that he was glancing at everything with his eyes, but obviously getting nothing, he would have stopped at this moment, but what he didn't expect was that the person was extremely persevering, and he had already gained five copies.
After reading the manuscript, he actually continued to lead the way and continued to bring out a manuscript as thick as a few bricks for him to review.
No one said anything. The third prince and the fourth prince were still following behind. What else could he say? In desperation, he could only open it and flip through the pages so quickly. In fact, he was so fast that he himself
He didn't have time to figure out what was going on. However, when he turned to a map in the middle, he was stunned.
The fourth prince, who was craning his neck to look at it, shouted boldly: "Hey, there is also a map? Was this also drawn by Emperor Taizu?"
The third prince grabbed the fourth prince behind him, and after giving him a warning look, he said softly: "Teacher, it is said that he has been to the Ordnance Bureau and seen those spheres and maps. Do you have any impression of this map now?
?”
Even if Zhang Shou wanted to say that he had no impression against his will, it would be impossible. After all, the shock to him at that time was quite huge. Even after returning home, he even wondered whether he could follow the same example.
He finally gave up the idea of making such a globe. So, at this moment, he stared at the map for a long time, and finally reached out and clicked on it.
"These are somewhat similar to the maps I saw at the Ordnance Bureau. This should be the Ming Dynasty, and here..." He raised his head and glanced at the concentrating third and fourth princes, then smiled and poked at the east side.
A huge continent, "This is Haidong Continent."
The third prince's expression was relatively calm at this time, while the fourth prince's face was full of excitement. He wished he could lie down on that map and almost started his journey of One Hundred Thousand Whys again.
Fortunately, Zhang Shou reacted very quickly and carried the person back with one hand, and threw him to the third prince for custody. He looked at Liang Jiucheng: "Since there is a ball and a map in the Arms Bureau, this map Liang Jiucheng
Father-in-law, you should have deciphered it a long time ago, right? Is it still not helpful in deciphering this manuscript?"
Seeing Liang Jiucheng shaking his head and sighing but not speaking, Zhang Shou said very frankly: "In this case, I will tell the truth. Now that Eunuch Liang is teaching that blond boy in my house, I suggest that we compile the alphabet and the corresponding pronunciation."
Make it into a song and then spread it out to see if you can find some children who are suitable for learning Western writing and language."
"Since we have been waiting for so many years, we might as well take advantage of this opportunity to train more translators who are proficient in the languages of various countries and let them go overseas to practice. In the future, books coming from overseas will not have to worry about translation. This is just a few
There will always be a day when Taizu's handwriting can be deciphered clearly. Although the Taizu's secret box had a very complicated code at the beginning, I am more inclined to believe..."
"These manuscripts were written by the scholarly Emperor Taizu in a Western script. The reason why they cannot be deciphered is probably because Emperor Taizu's grasp of them was not very sophisticated."
When he said this, Zhang Shou even expected that Liang Jiucheng might suddenly change his expression and become angry. After all, these servants were obviously the biggest supporters of Emperor Taizu. However, the result was that the other party responded with approval.
Nodding: "Xueshi Zhang's words are very kind. Your Majesty and I also feel that Emperor Taizu probably didn't learn the Western writing well, so no one can recognize it!"
