Yang Benman got off the four-wheeled carriage with a complicated face and walked into the courtyard of the Chu Palace.

I don't know if it was deliberate, or the person who sent the invitation didn't pay attention, Yang Benman actually received an invitation to the first birthday banquet of the Lord of Yongping County today.

This made Yang Benman entangled for two or three days, and finally decided to come over to have a look.

"Yang Yushi, are you here too?"

As soon as Yang Benman entered the courtyard, a colleague came to say hello.

The guests invited by the annex of the Chu Wangfu today basically wiped out all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and it was normal to meet a few acquaintances.

"Xie Xiancheng, long time no see."

Seeing that it was Xie Tianwu from Chang'an County who was talking to him, Yang Benman showed a smile on his face.

His own tea workshop is in Chang'an County, and it is still necessary to have a good relationship with Xie Tianwu.

"Today's feast is really eye-opening. I heard that there are as many as 100 carriages from the Chu Wangfu to Dengzhou Mansion to transport seafood, and there are also a large number of beef that is quickly transported from Liangzhou. ”

Xie Tianwu sighed with emotion while looking at the scene of people coming and going around him.

These are completely different from when I first came here many years ago.

Listening to Xie Tianwu's words, Yang Benman's face turned dark.

This is a pot that can't be opened.

The whole dynasty is up and down, who doesn't know that the most powerful thing about impeaching His Royal Highness the King of Chu some time ago is himself.

And the seafood of Dengzhou and the beef of Liangzhou are the top priorities of impeachment.

"It is said that saltpeter, which is specially used to make ice cubes, was transported in more than 30 horse-drawn carts, all to ensure that the seafood that everyone tasted at today's banquet was the most delicious."

Although Xie Tianwu is the county governor of Chang'an County, he does not have much real power, and under the feet of the Son of Heaven, he does not dare to stretch his hands and feet too long, so his family is not very rich.

Although restaurants such as Diandude and Wuheju have launched seafood banquets for a while, he has only been there a few times.

Every time he tastes the salt-baked Dengzhou prawns, the pan-fried yellow croaker, and the delicious tuna, he can't help but drool.

Now that he caught a Yang Benman who was still familiar with him, he immediately talked endlessly.

"Xie Xiancheng, if we stand here, we will block the people behind, let's go inside first."

Yang Benman forced himself to calm down and motioned for Xie Tianwu to go inside with him.

"The roads in the palace of King Chu are very spacious, and they won't block the people behind."

Xie Tianwu looked around suspiciously, but seeing that Yang Benman seemed to have an embarrassed look on his face, he finally reacted.

"Let's go, it's okay to go inside and have a look, it's rare to have a chance to visit the Chu Palace."

……

There were a lot of guests in the Chu Palace, although not all the people who received the invitation came, but there were still hundreds of people at the table.

With so many people getting together, it is also thanks to Wang Xuance's strong ability and Shangguanyi's help that the scene is in an orderly situation.

The location of the banquet is differentiated, and it is not that everyone can sit wherever they want, which adds a lot of trouble to Wang Xuance out of thin air.

"Ah Weng, there are a lot of people here today, and my grandson has always disliked places with a lot of people, why did you bring me here today?"

In a good and not bad side position, a pair of grandparents sat quietly there, waiting for the banquet to begin.

Many people around each other found acquaintances and talked there, and the two of them sat there quietly, but they were a little out of place.

Especially that little Langjun, his face was full of unhappiness.

How good it is to read at home, but let yourself come out to the feast.

"Huaiying, don't you love those arithmetic books the most, and what kind of "Theory of Logic", these are compiled by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, don't you want to meet the authors of these books?"

The old man who spoke obviously knew his grandson very well, and he got him done in a few words.

The grandfather and grandson did it quietly for half an hour, and finally the banquet began.

Li Kuan and his wife personally took the small corn out for a spin, said a few polite words, and the people began to serve plates of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The food in the Chu Wangfu is famous, and many people come here today for the food.

As the host, although Li Kuan doesn't have to toast at every seat, the main guests in the front rows still have to greet each other one by one.

Although Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng did not come over, they all had the younger generations as representatives.

Coupled with some noble families in Chang'an City, half an hour passed after such a greeting.

Li Kuan also drank a lot of wine, but when he went to the bathroom, when he came back, he was surprised to find that on a table next to him, there was a young man sitting there, actually holding a book and reading it.

Whose little Langjun is so studious?

Today, it's not that no one brings their children to attend, but more of them take this opportunity to introduce their children to some people who are worth knowing.

It's really rare to sit here quietly and read a book like this.

"Lord Wang, this is Shangshu Zuo Cheng Di Xiaoxu."

Wang Xuance saw that Li Kuan's eyes stayed on a pair of ancestors and grandchildren, and immediately reminded him.

There are so many guests today, to be honest, most of them are unknown to Li Kuan.

If it weren't for Wang Xuance and Laifu reminding him, he might have made a joke.

However, perhaps because he felt Li Kuan's gaze, Di Xiaoxu raised his head, found Li Kuan standing next to him, and hurriedly got up to salute.

"I've seen the prince, I've heard for a long time that the county lord is smart and clever, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation."

Di Xiaoxu said polite words in his mouth, in fact, Xiao Ma had appeared in the crowd for less than a quarter of an hour, how could he tell whether she was smart or not?

Li Kuan listened to a lot of nice words, but he didn't care.

However, the surname Di is so rare that as long as you mention it, you will think of a name.

I believe that many people are like Li Kuan.

"Di Zuocheng takes care of the money valley and other things in the household department in an orderly manner, and this king has been famous for a long time. Today's hospitality is not good, please Haihan, this is ......"

Shangshu Zuo Cheng is also an official of the fourth grade, and he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in the household department.

It is roughly equivalent to a director of the Ministry of Finance in later generations, a proper department-level cadre.

"This is Shesun Di Renjie, the small character Huaiying."

Seeing that Li Kuan was actually interested in his grandson, Di Xiaoxu hurriedly pulled Di Renjie's arm and summoned him out of the sea of books.

Di Renjie?

Li Kuan's eyes lit up, as expected.

Di Renjie is a native of Bingzhou, and he thought he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to meet, but he didn't expect to meet him unexpectedly here.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and dare to ask the prince, the book "Advanced Arithmetic", but the prince himself compiled it?"

Di Renjie put away the book in his hand, and greeted him decently, but he couldn't help but ask a question curiously.

After all, it's just an eight- or nine-year-old child, and no matter how deep the city is, that's it.

"That's right, it was the king who compiled it. Why, you can understand it now? Li Kuan has seen Li Zhi's talent in arithmetic, and it is much easier to accept the so-called prodigy.

At a young age, Di Renjie held the book "Advanced Arithmetic" in his hand, which was a proper mathematical content for the second and third years of junior high school in later generations, which was sorted out by Li Kuan from the nine-year compulsory education textbook rewarded by the system.

This book is for the students of the Guanshishan Academy.

If Di Renjie can understand it, it is really impressive.

I have only heard that Di Renjie is a detective in history, but I have not heard that he is still an arithmetic.

"I have a few questions, I haven't been very clear, can I come to the Chu Palace's Mansion to ask the prince for advice in the future?"

Di Renjie's face was full of thirst for knowledge.

Di Xiaoxu, as Shangshu Zuocheng, is responsible for the management of Qian Gu and other things, and has relatively high requirements for arithmetic.

Therefore, although Di Xiaoxu's own arithmetic level is relatively ordinary, he has collected a lot of arithmetic-related books at home, even Arabic numerals, he has learned them.

This is convenient for Di Renjie.

This guy can be said to be all-encompassing in literature and science, not only very good at studying traditional classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, but also proficient in miscellaneous books such as arithmetic and law.

This can be regarded as laying the foundation for him to solve the case quickly in the future.

"Of course, this is the second time that this king has seen someone who can read "Advanced Arithmetic" at such an age. In this way, Di Zuocheng, if you don't mind, this king will accept Huaiying as a disciple and let him learn from this king's side. ”

So far, Li Kuan has not taken the initiative to accept apprentices.

At the beginning, that Liu Yuan also took the opportunity to get the champion of the Ming Arithmetic Department to worship Li Kuan.

Now that you encounter a talent like Di Renjie, who is rare in a century, why don't you hurry up and accept it?

"Thank you, Lord Huaiying, don't hurry up and bow to His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

Di Xiaoxu was overjoyed when he heard Li Kuan's words, and regardless of what the occasion was at this time, he hurriedly asked Di Renjie to kowtow to his teacher and implement this master-apprentice relationship.

It can't be said how flattering Di Xiaoxu's behavior is, it's really Li Kuan's reputation in Chang'an City is too loud.

Although the Taiyuan Di clan has had the glory of several generations of grandchildren, it is still far from the real family.

If his grandson can worship His Royal Highness the King of Chu, it can not only fulfill his dream of exploring arithmetic, but also provide assistance for the rise of the Di family.

Whether it is Di Xiaoxu or Wang Xiaoxu or Li Xiaoxu, when encountering this scene, the choices made will not be different.

Di Renjie's brain is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still very smart.

Seeing that Li Kuan was willing to accept himself as an apprentice, he immediately kowtowed three times.

Although Datang does not kneel and worship, it is inevitable when he apprentices.

Soon, the news that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had accepted a disciple in the middle of the banquet spread.

"Brother Liu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has accepted a new disciple, you finally have a little junior brother."

Liu Yuan and Li Yan, one is Li Kuan's eldest disciple, the other is Li Chunfeng's son, and the outstanding students of Guanshishan Academy naturally attended today's banquet.

"Master has never taken the initiative to accept disciples for so many years. Usually, His Royal Highness King Jin and Princess Jinyang can often listen to his teachings, but I didn't expect such an unexpected move today, but I am full of interest in the little junior brother. ”

Liu Yuan was able to obtain the top prize in the Ming Arithmetic Department, and his brain was naturally easy to use.

Over the years, in Guanshishan Academy, he has also thoroughly eaten Li Kuan's various arithmetic books, and from time to time he can put forward some of his own theories.

However, listening to Li Kuan's teachings from time to time has always been a luxury.

"Let's take a look at him and see what is unexpected about this Di Renjie."

Li Yan also looked at Di Renjie's direction with a curious expression.

The two grandparents and grandchildren, who were sitting on the side coldly just now, have quickly become one of the focuses of today.

Many guests took the initiative to talk to Di Xiaoxu, and some people even inquired about Di Renjie's birthday, and they had the intention of grabbing Di Renjie's son-in-law before others could react.

As today's master, Li Kuan naturally couldn't stay there and talk too much to Di Xiaoxu and them, so he simply ordered a few words to let Di Renjie start moving to the courtyard of the Chu Wangfu tomorrow, and he continued to be busy with himself.

In the backyard, Cheng Jingwen is also entertaining a group of female dependents.

The news of Li Kuan's acceptance of apprentices naturally spread quickly.

"Second brother really accepted a disciple? The ninth brother and I have wanted to worship the second brother as a teacher for a long time, but he didn't agree, why did he accept a disciple today?"

The son sat next to Cheng Jingwen, and after hearing the news, he didn't even tease Xiaomai, and showed a curious look on his face.

Today's son is also a five or six-year-old girl, she is precocious, and she understands a lot more than everyone thinks.

"Son, you and the pheasant slave are the younger brothers and sisters of the prince, how can anyone who is an elder brother accept his younger brothers and sisters as disciples."

Cheng Jingwen pinched her son's little face and said gently.

"Hmph, I have to let the ninth brother test him to see if he is worthy of being the second brother's disciple."

Although what Cheng Jingwen said was very reasonable, the little girl was obviously still not convinced.

……

In Daming Palace, Li Shimin was in a bad mood.

Some time ago, Gao Shilian showed himself the revised draft of the "Chronicles of the Clan", and found that Cui Mingan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, was actually set as the first class, which made Li Shimin very dissatisfied.

After many tosses, according to Li Shimin's intentions, Gao Shilian and others finally revised a version of the "Clan Chronicles" that satisfied him.

However, the "Chronicles of the Clans" has just been published in the world!

I encountered all kinds of criticism.

In the edict, Li Shimin explained that he rebuilt the "Clan Chronicles" in order to rectify human ethics and maintain etiquette, and also pointed out the ugly phenomenon of clan marriage.

However, according to Li Zhong's feedback, the effect does not seem to be satisfactory.

Li Shimin's mood has not yet recovered from this blow, and yesterday he received the news that the Tubo State had invaded Songzhou, and the local people suffered heavy losses.

This made him furious, and he immediately issued an unprecedented order, with Hou Junji as the general of the Dangmi Road camp, with the right leading general Zhi Zhi Sili as the general of the Bailan Road march, with the left Wuwei general Niu Jinda as the general of the broad water road march, and the right leading general Liu Lan as the general of the Taohe Road, leading an army of 50,000 to attack the invading Tufan army.

Fang Xuanling and others must know that Li Shimin has been in a bad mood recently, but he has no objections.

It's really the behavior of the Tibetan country, which is too disgusting.

If you don't teach me a lesson, I really think Datang is easy to bully.

Li Zhong naturally knew that Li Shimin was in a bad mood, but when he received the news just now, he felt that Li Shimin might be interested, so he entered the imperial study to report to Li Shimin.
