Although Zhu Tingfang glared at Zhu Ying angrily, Miss Zhu was not frightened, and his angry glare had no effect at all. Not only did she ignore Zhu Tingfang's angry gaze, Zhu Ying even ran to the emperor's side again, complaining with some chagrin that the emperor shouldn't use the excuse of having a headache to call the envoy of the Imperial Hospital Chen Yuan, but she was glared at by the emperor.

"It's cheap and good, don't say you have a headache, do you say I have a headache, say Zhang Shou has a headache? That is, for you, I can hurriedly call the envoy of the Chen Academy! ”

Zhang Shou was stunned when he saw Zhu Ying, and Liu Feng was quickly leaving, he knew that he didn't need to worry about anything anymore, and he was silently thinking about the suggestion that Wu Ge Lao put forward and he agreed with.

He was naturally worried that Deng Xiaodao was going to follow Wang Jie to such troubled waters, but he knew that Wang Jie was not there, Deng Xiaodao was in the Shuntian Mansion, even if he was taken care of by his uncle, he would definitely not be treated by the new Fu Yin, maybe those colleagues would also be secretly excluded, it was better to go with Wang Jie and see if he could play his role.

As for the rest of the Jiuzhangtang, it can be said that most of them have made a living as an account room, and if three or five people are assigned to assist Wang Jie at a time, then it can be regarded as a specialization in the art industry. However, there will inevitably be a disconnect in their schoolwork, so he needs to not only let them bring their textbooks, but also probably assign the corresponding exercises.

In addition, should he send Qi Liang over to follow Wang Jie first? Of course, in this way, even if he sent his first two students to Wang Jie as his right-hand men, if he was an official other than Wang Jie, he would definitely think that he was installing a private person.

Zhang Shou was distracted, Zhu Ying, who was messing around with the emperor, didn't notice it, but Zhu Tingfang did. But because he discovered this, he really wondered a little in his heart. After all, he is a son of a family, and he has seen the emperor a lot since he was a child, so it is not surprising that he can be calm and calm in front of the emperor, but Zhang Shou just talked freely, and now he still dares to ...... Distracted?

When Zhu Tingfang looked at Zhang Shou again and again, the emperor also discovered Zhang Shou's daze. He thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Shou, a few days ago, Teacher Ge and I talked about rebuilding the calendar, what do you think?" ”

While thinking about his own thoughts, he paid a little attention to the movement on the other side, in case others asked him, but he could only be stunned, this is Zhang Shou practiced when he was in school before, and he was often able to do such a feat at that time, obviously taking a nap, but after the teacher asked a question, when he suddenly asked him to answer, he could answer fluently.

At this time, Zhang Shou came to his senses when the emperor directly called out his name. However, this time he couldn't answer the question, not only could he not answer, but he even had to smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister has no research on the calendar, shouldn't this kind of thing be handed over to Qin Tianjian?" This layman is not easy to beak. Besides, hasn't the teacher already asked for the Four Seas quiz? ”

The emperor was unhurried and asked unrelentingly, "You mean, I'd better let you take up a position in the Qin Heavenly Prison so that you can go and re-study the calendar with the people of the Qin Heavenly Prison?" If I don't give you this money, you won't work for me? ”

"That's not what the minister meant." Seeing that the emperor was obviously quite unreasonable, Zhang Shou suddenly had a head and two big, and at that moment he simply put his heart sideways and said bluntly, "The difficulty of the calendar is difficult to go to the blue sky, and any calendar needs a return point, such as the Shangyuan in the Shangyuan accumulation year, this point is difficult to calculate." ”

Speaking of this, he said in a more sincere manner: "Although the minister is a little talented in arithmetic, it is a pity that the calendar is not included, because the minister has not studied astronomy. ”

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked with a smile, "Isn't it because of the previous imperial court's ban on Qin Tianjian not allowing him to hold other positions, as well as the ban on folk astronomy and astrology, that you are unwilling to touch the calendar?" ”

"Of course not." Zhang Shou's face was full of positive colors, "Didn't the minister's teacher, Master Ge, once be in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison for a while?" Didn't Qi Taichang also once be in charge of the Qin Heavenly Prison for a while? Emperor Yingzong and Emperor Ruizong have both broken this ban, and there are now many people who are proficient in arithmetic and astronomy, so there is no need for outsiders to point fingers. ”

Seeing that the emperor looked at himself with disbelief, he simply said lightly: "If a layman like the minister is allowed to compile the calendar, the minister can only use a trouble-saving method, for example, unify the number of days in the year, twelve months in a year, one hundred and fifty seven hundred and eighty days, thirty-one days per month for these seven months, twenty-eight days per month in February, and thirty days in the rest of the months, exactly three hundred and sixty-five days." ”

He just didn't see Zhu Tingfang, whose brows were about to twist into a knot, and said to himself: "Then, every four years is a leap year, and in a leap year, one day will be added in February, which will be twenty-nine days, and three hundred and sixty-six days in a year." And every 100 years, the year that is not divisible by 400 is not a leap year, February is still 28 days, and the year that is divisible by 400 years is a leap year. ”

Anyway, he said it all, and he naturally said: "As for how to calculate the starting year, well, you can compare the new calendar with the current calendar, according to the days of the 24 solar terms." This simple calendar, one solar term on the fourth and fifth days of each month, around the twenty-second and twenty-third of the month, and another solar term, twelve months, two solar terms per month, exactly twenty-four solar terms are complete. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou spread his hands and said: "Such a simple calendar is the limit of the ability of a layman with a calendar. If the emperor asked me to work with the officials of Qin Tianjian to rebuild the complicated calendar that is currently in use, there would probably only be one thing the minister could do...... Feigning illness, or rather, feigning injury. ”

"Zhang Shou!" Zhu Tingfang finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and interrupted Zhang Shou's words angrily, "The calendar is such an important thing, farming, fishing and hunting often all rely on the calendar, how can you be so childish!" ”

Who made the emperor ask me about the calendar? I went to calculate the calendar this time, do you want me to calculate the solar and lunar eclipses next time? Will we have to count the dates of some comets next time? How could I have this kind of experience! Besides, if this kind of thing is too accurate, it may cause the courtiers to be frightened or even wary, and if the prediction is not accurate, it will become an excuse for others to attack me. Why should I dig a hole for myself?

At the same time, Zhang Shou slandered, but his face said calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister just said that the minister has only such a way to save trouble, and the eldest prince Zhu said that the minister is playing, please ask the emperor to find another master." ”

The emperor stared at Zhang Shou angrily and funny for a while, and when he saw that he was still indifferent, he suddenly turned his head sideways and asked Zhu Ying: "Yingying, what do you think of your family's Zhang Lang's blind calendar?" ”

"The emperor said that he was blind, so why did he ask me what I was doing?" Zhu Ying snorted dissatisfiedly, and then sneered, "I don't know what the calendar is based on, I only know, anyway, the Ming calendar is hanging there, tearing a page every day, I also know what day today is enough, and I don't bother to care about the rest, ordinary people just look at the auspicious day for weddings and funerals." ”

But speaking of this, she suddenly changed her words sharply: "However, Ah Shou is just talking casually, not to mention Qin Tianjian, those old stubborns in the court will never accept this new simple calendar, so don't be embarrassed for Ah Shou, Your Majesty." He's not omnipotent, where is he really good at everything that requires calculations? ”

She saw Zhang Shou quietly gesturing to her, otherwise, she would definitely help Zhang Shou speak, and if she died, she would change the current calendar to the kind that Zhang Shou said. But since Zhang Shou herself doesn't want to wade into troubled waters, of course she has to help people get rid of this troublesome errand.

If he went to Qin Tianjian to deal with those white-haired old men who watched the stars all day long, wouldn't Zhang Shou have even less free time?

The emperor was just waiting for the arrival of the envoy of the Imperial Hospital Chen, and suddenly thought of the calendar, so he asked casually, who knew that Zhang Shou really had the trouble to put forward an idea, although he only felt unbelievable when he listened, but he also felt that Zhang Shou did not say that casually, but carefully considered.

Although he wouldn't really adopt it, compared with 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 if Qin Tianjian does not have this fate, I can just give you one less money." ”

As soon as she heard this, Zhu Ying immediately stopped: "Your Majesty, what you said is as if it were true, except for the special gift of the winter solstice, Ah Shou took three copies, but his Yulu, the household department only issued a six-grade one, where is the three?" ”

Zhu Tingfang, who tried hard to remain silent, finally couldn't listen to his sister's nonsense, and immediately coughed and said: "There are many officials in this dynasty who also hold other positions, but generally unless there is a special purpose, that is, the official who has the highest official rank. Zhang Shou is already in the sixth official residence at a young age, it is the emperor's special grace, Yingying, how can you criticize it? ”

The emperor was originally just a joke, and Zhu Ying retorted with a petty temperament, which was just a joke for him to be funny, but Zhu Tingfang blamed him so righteously and sternly, he felt bored.

Zhu Jing, the eldest son, is good at everything, but he is a little too straight...... Could it be that they all learned badly from Liu Zhiyuan, a former soldier in the military department?

However, when the envoy of the Imperial Hospital Chen came over in a hurry, the emperor found out that he still underestimated Zhu Tingfang's injuries.

Although he had escaped the inspection of his grandmother and stepmother before, when the envoy of the Chen Yuan had already arrived and the emperor had lowered his face and insisted, even if Zhu Tingfang was reluctant, he could only untie the outer robe on his body slowly, and then took off the inner jacket and close-fitting silk coat, and then removed a large amount of white silk that almost covered the entire chest, abdomen and right flank.

When the criss-crossed, some healed, and some could still see the bright red scars revealed, everyone gasped, and Zhu Ying even subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Zhang Shou.

"Big brother, aren't you charging alone in the midst of thousands of troops? How could he be so badly injured! ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying was already so angry that he cried when he shouted, Zhang Shou glanced at the emperor with an equally ugly face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

And the Chen Yuan envoy of the Tai Hospital stared at those scars with a shocked face for a long time, and then hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and made a judgment after a while: "One of the deepest wounds is a puncture wound on the right flank, which has not yet healed, multiple slash wounds, the longest wound on the chest and abdomen, and the other few are not too tight." But the rest of these criss-crossing scars ......"

Chen Yuan's envoy hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The rest of the injuries are more like being whipped. And this whipping is done with hatred, and it is very heavy. ”

I'm afraid I'll take dozens of hits! But who would be so ruthless to this eldest son of Zhao Guogong and the future heir of Zhao Guogong's mansion?

Could it be Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing himself? No, Zhu Tingfang's conduct and ethics can be said to be the top among the children of the nobles in the capital, and his literary talent and martial arts are also quite outstanding. Even if you violate military law in the army, you won't use the whip! You know, because whipping is more likely to cause death and injury than military sticks, it was strictly forbidden when Taizu was in his time!

Hearing the word whipping, Zhu Ying's face suddenly became murderous, where could she not think of how the eldest brother's injury came about? There is no doubt that it was definitely the suffering that I endured after being captured by the Northern Captives! Therefore, she didn't have the heart to listen to the doctor's nonsense that the envoy of the Chen Yuan said to the emperor cautiously - it was nothing more than a matter of care, she was careful to apply medicine to recuperate, and directly turned around angrily and left.

But as soon as she got out of the Qianqing Palace, she staggered a few steps forward, and then sat down on the high steps without any ladylike manners, and then buried her head between her knees, and tears couldn't help but fall, but she didn't make a sound.

At this moment, she forgot that the emperor invited the envoy of the Tai Hospital Chen Yuan on the grounds that she had a headache.

She only knew that she hated her ruthless father at this moment, hated the generals who didn't save her when she saw death, and hated those vicious northern captives, and she felt even more uncomfortable when she thought that if her eldest brother didn't follow her father on the expedition this time, maybe he wouldn't be in a desperate situation.

But just when she felt sorry for herself, she suddenly felt something caressing the corners of her hair, and when she looked sideways slightly in a blur, she realized that it was Zhang Shou, and between his fingers, his swallowtail was wrapped around her. However, she didn't realize the charm of the past at all, and bit her lip vigorously, and actually bowed her head between her knees again.

"Yingying, don't be petty, the emperor specially invited the envoy of the Chen Yuan of the Tai Hospital for you, isn't he embarrassed when you leave?"

Zhang Shou simply stretched out his hand and pressed it on Zhu Ying's shoulder, seeing that she was trembling slightly, but still did not answer, he said in a low voice: "You are angry with those who slandered your father and your eldest brother before, of course the emperor can understand this thought." There are some people in this world who don't go to the battlefield, don't do practical things, and just make a living by spraying people all day long, but you can't get along with yourself when you're angry. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the others out of the corner of his eye, and saw that the guards guarding the Qianqing Gate not far away were still straight, and their bodies did not move with their backs to them, and the few palace people in the courtyard were also sweeping seriously, and no one seemed to be looking at them, as if they ignored his excuse, so he reached out to pull Zhu Ying.

This time, Zhu Ying did not resist, and was easily dragged up by Zhang Shou, and was immediately pulled into the Qianqing Palace. When she returned to Dongnuan Pavilion, her eyes were still a little red, especially when she saw that Chen Yuan's envoy was busy re-wrapping her eldest brother's wounds.

And the emperor also heard what Zhang Shou was obviously saying to others outside just now, so he said lightly at this time: "It is easy to disagree with people because of words, but I will give Zhao Guogong and his son justice." ”
