What about the turn of the face? What is the reaction? Look at the weird expressions of the third prince and the fourth prince who almost didn't stare at their eyes, that's the reaction that should be, right? Father-in-law Liang, what the hell is your expression that you can't agree with anymore? And said that the emperor, a crazy admirer of Taizu, also thinks so?

Zhang Shou only felt a faint sadness permeating his heart. He also wanted to be reprimanded for this, and then people could expect less from him, after all, he was too far away from the turbulent era of Emperor Taizu, unless people were immortal or crossed over for the second time, there would be no chance to meet, and he was actually not interested in reading this egg-hurting codex.

Therefore, after a long time, he smiled bitterly: "I thought that Gonggong Liang would be angry and scold me!" ”

"I think that when I put forward such a point of view to the emperor, the emperor was so angry that he almost killed me." Speaking of the old things, Liang Jiucheng still seemed very calm, as if it was not him who almost lost his head at that time. Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was praised by everyone for his composure and steady, was also dragging the fourth prince, the brothers looked at him curiously, and he coughed lightly.

"I don't know much about the small countries that use this script, and because they are too far apart, I don't know much about their language. The Western Ocean is too far away, the land route is difficult to walk, and the sea route is dangerous, even if the fleet occasionally brings a few people from their side, nine out of ten people do not understand the written language, and those who can read the written language are often not used to the life of our dynasty, and their lives are very short. ”

"The most important time, before Gaozong Sejong, these heavenly sons, were not so enthusiastic about the old things of Emperor Taejo, even Emperor Yingzong, and most of the royal ships only sailed in Goryeo, Japan and the South Seas, until the first emperor and the emperor, this gradually returned to the old system. So the sample is not enough. I also compared a book from that small Western country, and I felt that Emperor Taizu had not studied well. ”

Zhang Shou watched people turn around and go to a nearby bookshelf, and after a while he came back with a book, he almost didn't hold his face after scanning the cover. It's a Bible...... A Bible!

Thinking about the fact that in the far west, coupled with the dark Middle Ages before, the most accessible books were indeed only the Bible, and he could only press the weirdness in his heart, and secretly speculate on how likely it was that Liang Jiucheng Liang Gonggong was just modest.

Could it be that the fleet had already turned away from the west and even captured a missionary who knew English, and then these eunuchs in the palace who were too capable of learning had already translated the corresponding text? Although Britain is a remote part of Europe these days, and the status of English is far inferior to Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, etc., it is not necessarily impossible!

"I painstakingly studied the words and sentence patterns in this book, and compared them with many words and sentences in Taizu's Codex, and sorted out dozens of boxes of notes in ten years, and finally confirmed that the words used in it are very similar to some of the words used by Emperor Taizu, but the sentence structure is very wonderful, which is also because the people brought back from that small country are too short-lived, and they can't learn the relationship between my Chinese and words......"

Hearing Liang Jiucheng say solemnly about the difference in vocabulary and sentence structure...... Almost not to mention the difference in tense - it is impossible for people who have not actually been exposed to Indo-European languages to go so deep - Zhang Shou still has mixed feelings, only feeling as if he has returned to the era when he learned English in advance, so his eyes were blackened.

I think that he originally marked all English words with Chinese, so as to forcibly memorize and memorize them, but who would have thought that in this era, someone can compare so many messy things with a bunch of Taizu Codex and a Bible. Sorting out a lot of notes, this perseverance in learning ability is really terrifying!

As for the third prince and the fourth prince, one looked at the old chamberlain who was disabled with admiration, and the other was stunned like a clay carved wood sculpture, and his heart was full of descriptions of those dozens of boxes of notes.

Dozens of boxes, a whole decade, this Liang Gonggong is so patient!

So, Zhang Shou had to laugh dryly: "I just said it casually, I can't compare to Father-in-law Liang, you really worked hard." In this case, as I said before, Gonggong Liang, please consider it, and if the emperor asks, he will also tell me one or two. ”

This time, Liang Jiucheng readily agreed. At this point, he did not continue to move out those Taizu Codex for Zhang Shou to continue to look at, but returned the same way with the people, and all the way to repeat what the emperor had said to the third and fourth princes last night - it is the so-called tradition that the emperors of all dynasties will move all the Taizu Codex and remember the location.

Regarding this point, Zhang Shou, who had secretly thought about it before, had been idle, and this time he had directly read it countless times in his heart, and even glanced at the third prince sympathetically. As a result, His Royal Highness the Little Prince, who felt his gaze, said very seriously: "Not only me, but the fourth brother will also help together." ”

"When the fifth brother is older, he can also come in. Only if everyone pays attention to it, the Taizu Codex will eventually be read one day. ”

That's right, when the Taizu Codex is really translated, I really have to think about whether to follow that Taizu and sail to colonize overseas...... However, the sea route is indeed too risky, or it is possible to take the land route, provided that there is a strong army, and you must know that if you go all the way west, you will run into the Ottoman Empire!

Although he can also urgently forge and tamper with the Taizu Codex he has in hand, who knows what about the other Codexes!

With this kind of sorrow of egg pain, Zhang Shou finally left the ancient and modern Tongji library. However, as soon as he stood firm, he saw a familiar figure rushing over, and when he arrived in front of him, he didn't even say hello, and dragged him away. Zhang Shou ran a few steps and found that he couldn't keep up with that pace at all, and he was angry for a while.

"Hey, let go, if you don't let go, you're going to die!"

But the final result of his defense was not to let go, but to be thrown up directly, and when he fell safely, he was already lying on the other party's back. If this was normal times, he would have laughed and scolded a few sentences, but at this moment, he was in the palace, and the first three princes, the fourth prince and Liang Jiucheng might have been completely stunned, of course he couldn't let it go.

"Ah Liu, let me down, I have something to say! Did you hear it, this is in the palace, not your own home! ”

"I'm here by order." Ah Liu's five words were said simply and directly, and he found that Zhang Shou behind him seemed to stop breathing in an instant, so he added, "The family is fine, it's okay." ”

It wasn't until Ah Liu's second half of the words came out that Zhang Shou was relieved, and then raised his hand to wipe the sweat that had just been scared out of his forehead. You know, Ah Liu's posture just now was too amazing, and his first reaction was that Mrs. Tai, who suddenly fell ill, had something in case.

But although he breathed a sigh of relief, a premonition that something big was about to happen still lingered in his heart, so he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Everyone is very good, you also make it clear to me first!" You are so ostentatious in the palace, do you want the whole capital to discuss the matter of you running around the palace behind my back from the New Year to the New Year? ”

"Don't worry, young master, they won't talk about you, because there is something else to discuss."

Ah Liu spit out such a sentence without a beginning or an end, and found that Zhang Shou behind him had begun to pull his ears in annoyance, and he could only say helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's a madman who said it, let you see the emperor first." ”

Hearing these extremely awkward words, Zhang Shou couldn't help but pluck out his ears, and then scolded in annoyance: "Do you listen to him, or listen to me?" You keep saying he's crazy, why do you still listen to him? What the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Shou had already asked for the third time, as if it was because it was really difficult to escape the past, Ah Liu whispered: "There is a delegation claiming to be from China to Qinhuangdao east of Shanhaiwei. The envoy said that the king of their Hua Kingdom was a descendant of Taizu, who had founded a country on the Haidong Continent, which was tens of thousands of miles away from the east of our court, and that he had come back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors this time. ”

“……”

At that moment, Zhang Shou had a feeling that his second boot had finally landed. In this kind of cold and frozen wax moon, even if Qinhuangdao is an ice-free port in later generations, but Qinhuangdao in this year is next to Shanhaiguan, and it seems that it has not developed yet, right? Wait, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty doesn't seem to be as long as in later generations, Shanhaiguan seems to have been built, but it is far from the momentum of the first pass in the world......

Zhang Shou unconsciously flew out of his mind, ran wildly for a while before he was finally able to retract, and then endured the feeling of toothache and asked, "Let me ask you, is it a big boat or a small boat?" If it's a big ship, how can it be anchored in Qinhuangdao, there is no port over there, right? Also, in terms of the monsoon, it has always been more suitable for going south in winter and going north in summer......"

At this point, it dawned on him another absolutely important issue. That is, if it really crossed the ocean from the Americas, then it was likely to rely not entirely on the wind, but also on a large number of oarsmen, just like the Western sailing ships in the past. Of course, it would be a different matter if a steam engine could be built on the American continent in such a short period of time.

Of course, Ah Liu couldn't answer Zhang Shou's very detailed question. He directly carried Zhang Shou to the Qianqing Gate before stopping, but saw that Chen Yongshou was waiting there early, and when he saw the two of them, he greeted him with joy.

"Little Sixth Master, if you can, please do another favor...... Can you bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Four Princes over together? Please ask Father-in-law Liang to come over again? ”

"Hmm." For other people's sincere and kind requests, Ah Liu has never been in the habit of refusing. He nodded, seeing that Chen Yongshou thanked him repeatedly, and then personally led Zhang Shou inside, he turned around and ran, without thinking at all, his actual master Hua Qi was also here, why did he let him go alone and bring the two brothers back together.

And Zhang Shou was carried by Ah Liu for a while, and the heat on his body had not been completely blown away by the cold wind when he came out of the ancient and modern Tongji Library, so when he first entered the Qianqing Palace, he didn't feel warm, but felt that it was too hot here.

In fact, at this time, the emperor who was pacing back and forth in the main hall, Chu Kuan, who was as motionless as a stone Buddha, and Hua Qi, who was standing and leaning on a pillar, just glanced at these three people, and he felt an irritable and troublesome atmosphere rushing to his face. Obviously, the news that Ah Liu just brought, the three of the kings, ministers, masters and servants here can't decide.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw him coming, the emperor opened his mouth and said, "Chu Kuan, you tell Zhang Shou about the matter first." ”

Although Ah Liu had already said it, Zhang Shou still listened carefully to Chu Kuan's explanation of the origin of the matter, in fact, it was a little more detailed than what Ah Liu said, such as the small boat going ashore, a big ship anchored at sea, and a total of 28 people were transported ashore by the small boat, Shanhaiwei temporarily detained all the people there, and sent a small boat to guard and so on.

After listening thoughtfully, he asked, "Regardless of whether the national letter or anything can be proved to be a descendant of Taizu, the minister only wants to know one thing, that is, how can they prove that they are from the Haidong Continent?" ”

How do these guys prove they're from the Americas? Is it a bunch of seeds and fruits from the crops of the Americas? However, thanks to the blessings of the two guys, the old salted fish and the Tibetan sea monk, the upper and lower levels of the court and the central government are now very receptive to overseas crops, which means that it is impossible for people to prove that they are not Ming people through these simple things.

As for the fancy dress setting, it's even more impossible. You all claim to be recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors, and wear indigenous clothes to go ashore, are you embarrassed?

If it was usual, how could the emperor praise Zhang Shou for his sensitivity first, but at this time he really didn't have this mood. He glanced at Chu Kuan, and when he saw that people wanted to speak, he simply said to Hua Qi: "You tell Zhang Shou, what kind of evidence are these guys coming up with!" ”

"Among them, there is a handwritten handwriting by Taizu." After saying these words, Hua Qi saw that the expression on Zhang Shou's face was really a little subtle, he knew that Zhang Shou felt that this kind of thing was nothing to worry about, so he sighed helplessly, "Don't think it's a big fuss, there are indeed a lot of Taizu's authentic works in the world." However, there is content to this picture. ”

"It says that when Taizu drifted over there, it was temporarily difficult to return because of a shipwreck. Although there were enough craftsmen on the ship and there was timber in the area, because of the encounter with the natives, there was a battle, and then several battles, because the natives were aggressive, they had to subdue a tribe of natives, and then the four sides fought ......"

Zhang Shou couldn't help but interrupt: "This is a bit similar to what old salted fish told me last time that he found a stone tablet in the Haidong Continent. It's not that I'm suspicious, Taizu's handwriting can also be forged. ”

The emperor's gaze at Zhang Shou was even more satisfied—no matter which emperor was, of course, extremely satisfied with his subordinates who adhered to orthodoxy and unwaveringly. He waved his hand and motioned for Chu Kuan and Hua Qi not to continue, and then said word by word: "What they brought back is the divine bow that Emperor Taizu used to be." ”

The expression on Zhang Shou's face almost froze. Taizu shoots the armor of the world, although this rumor is still circulating until now, but he knows that it is boring, because the one who thought that he was playing rapid-fire in the first place, and he also mentioned the spare bowstring belt in the codex he treasured, but the special arrows were not enough. Could it be that this kind of old antique can really be preserved?
