When Liang Jiucheng returned to Zhang Yuan with stars and moons, he only saw his blonde student with an honest face who was shaking his head and reciting ancient poems. Of course, he knew that people were not such honest people, but he didn't bother to ask if he came back to study hard after cleaning and tidying up Zhang Shou's study during the time he was not at home.

He casually asked people to copy all the poems he had taught before, and hurried out the door. However, when he came back today, he was still ordered by the emperor, but he directly pounced. Because Zhang Shou was not in the study at all, he went to the Zhao Guogong Mansion. Although he wanted to go directly to Zhao Guogong's mansion, after thinking about it, he still turned back to his small courtyard.

After entering, I saw Wu Dawei sitting there with a sad face and copying poems with a brush, thinking that people had put forward the concept of quill pens like offering treasures before, Zhang Shou really had to make two of them, but he didn't allow this kid to use them, and he couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth and smile suddenly.

People who come out of the land of foreign barbarians regard everything as their own exclusive - but how did this kid know that Emperor Taizu had already made the same thing possible. However, even with the respect of the emperor, he still failed to popularize the quill, and in the end it was only occasionally used when people wrote codexes, and after the disappearance of Emperor Taizu, this quill never appeared in the court again.

Of course, Liang Jiucheng would not wait until his student crookedly copied these relatively simple poems. He walked over to his desk, picked up his pen and wrote two lines of words, and then came to the other and suddenly handed the paper over.

"Look, do you recognize the words on it?"

Wu Dawei was startled by his husband's sudden action, and when he came back to his senses, he saw two lines of letters written on the paper, he suddenly became interested, quickly put down the pen and took it, and after carefully looking at it for a while, he couldn't help frowning. After a long moment, he looked up with a bitter face.

"Sir, it's not Italian, it's not Tuscan and Latin, I can't read it. It's like an island text, well, that's what Britannia. ”

This is the answer that Liang Jiucheng expected, after all, in the years when the royal ship was overseas, there were often henchmen who copied some words from Taizu's codex and probed around, and it had been determined that some words seemed to be very similar to the words of a certain island country in the west, however, when viewed individually, it was not the same thing at all.

Even if a part of it was taken out for the fleet to identify, no one would be able to read the entire sentence!

However, at this time, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he got Wu Dawei's feedback. After all, a Fanbang kid who is close at hand and has a strong learning ability is more credible than the Fanbang people brought back from the previous ships.

So, thinking of Chu Kuan's words, his last bit of hope fell on Zhang Shou, the owner of Zhang Yuan, who had not yet returned. Fortunately, his wait was not in vain, Zhang Shou did not stay in the Zhao Guogong Mansion as he did the night before, but came back with Zhu Ying in the middle of the night.

Although he knew that people had been busy all day, Liang Jiucheng, who had been waiting for Zhang Shou to come back, still looked for the first time to ask for a meeting. As a result, when she heard such a report, Zhu Ying, who took the initiative to invite this Liang father-in-law from the palace to be a tutor at home, immediately became a little annoyed.

"It's so late, Father-in-law Liang doesn't understand the world, what can't he say tomorrow?"

Of course, Zhang Shou knew why Zhu Ying was upset, in fact, he also felt that Liang Jiucheng came to see him so late, it must be a big matter, maybe there was some bullshit in the palace. Although he was reluctant to mess with it, he could only sigh when he thought that he was also the master of the East Palace.

"Father-in-law Liang, please come in and speak. If you want to let me know, you can also let Yingying know. ”

Hearing such an order, Zhan Jin agreed, and couldn't help but secretly praise his aunt for treating his own young lady with confidence. Therefore, when she went out to pass the word to Liang Jiucheng, it was exactly Zhang Shou's original words. Not a word, not a lot.

And Liang Jiucheng only hesitated for a while, and finally nodded calmly: "The young lady has been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and the emperor treats her better than the princess, although what I said is confidential, but it doesn't hurt for her to listen to it." ”

Zhu Ying was deaf and clear-sighted, although she was in the house at this time, she heard Liang Jiucheng's words clearly outside, and couldn't help but be angry and funny for a while. This kind of pompous means can also be used on this girl? I'd like to hear what you have to say! However, when Liang Jiucheng calmly entered the room and said the opening remarks, she almost jumped.

"Hua Qiye and Gonggong Chu verified that the death of the eldest prince is said to be related to the Miao descendants left by Taizu overseas. The second prince may also be in their hands now. ”

"It's ridiculous!" Zhu Ying was so angry that her eyebrows rose, "This is clearly to discredit Emperor Taizu!" Not to mention that Emperor Taizu suddenly had no news, if he really left the Miao descendants overseas, why would these people have gone earlier? Besides, what's the use of harming the rotten man of the eldest prince, although he is very sad that the emperor is dead, but in essence, it is also forever rid of future troubles! ”

In front of the emperor, of course Zhu Ying would speak leisurely, but since she was in front of Liang Jiucheng, she naturally showed her dislike for the eldest prince without hesitation.

"Killing the eldest prince, at most, it makes people question the emperor's killing of his son and wife, but the emperor is angry, but he is not a person who pays so much attention to fame! What's more, what can you do with such a wreck as the second prince? The emperor has announced that the second prince is dead, can they still use a son of the abolished queen who was announced by the emperor to have sunk the ship and died to make waves? ”

"The most important thing is that Emperor Taizu died in the capital in the eyes of the common people, who would believe this kind of nonsense!"

These words were exactly the same as what Liang Jiucheng said in front of the emperor before, and for a while he had a great sense of confidant with Zhu Ying - of course, he could only echo the eldest lady's tone of treating the eldest prince and the second prince as waste snacks. And seeing Zhang Shou on the side as if he was in a trance, he came here today for Zhang Shou instead of Zhu Ying, so he coughed.

"Master Zhang, in the ancient and modern collection library, there are many codexes left by Taizu, but over the years, there are very few words and sentences translated, and now they can only be shelved. Now there are people who claim to be descendants of Taizu's overseas Miao who are making waves, and even claim that they have established a country overseas, which is really rebellious and arrogant. I thought about it, and I thought that maybe there would be a clue left in Taizu's codex. ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but be stunned. What a clue, the diary of the traverser has a fart clue, and the copy in his hand only records the bits and pieces of this era! That traverser predecessor created a huge empire, which is definitely a state of self-confidence in opening up traversers to kill all directions, so they will find a new continent for future generations...... How could he have expected that he would not be able to come back?

You must know that in the era of the monstrous war, the gods blocked and killed the gods and the Buddha and survived, and when Emperor Taizu went to sea, he must have thought that through the halo shining high above his head, he would definitely turn evil into good fortune, so he must be full of confidence. Is it possible that he can still leave a plan on his codex, in case I can't come back, one, two, three, four, five?

Even if I really wanted to stay at the time, considering that no one could understand that kind of Chinese English in a short period of time, it must have been Chinese characters.

After complaining two sentences in his heart, Zhang Shou's face showed an appropriate solemnity: "After I opened the Taizu secret box, I also saw Emperor Taizu's dense codex like a book from heaven. Although I was able to crack the secret box code in some stupid way, the letters were similar to the ones I used in arithmetic. ”

"But it's been so long, I'm ashamed, I've used various ways to interpret it, but I still haven't understood the Taizu Codex. However, once I have learned arithmetic to the fullest level, it is said that I can translate a completely unfamiliar language according to the frequency with which some of the same words appear, but to be honest, I am far from that. ”

Zhang Shou said this in his mouth, but he was complaining in his heart, the Indo-European people have an innate advantage in deciphering the lost text of the Indo-European language family, but as for their Sino-Tibetan language family, do they use mathematics to decipher the Indo-European language family...... That's really hard.

What's more, Emperor Taizu's mixture of Chinese English and pinyin, coupled with grammar, is really rotten to a certain extent......

"It's because I don't know the language of that small country in the West, but Emperor Taizu has used it by scholars, so the palace has been worried for so many years." Liang Jiucheng didn't know what Zhang Shou thought, he sighed deeply, "In the previous generations of emperors, there were a few predecessors who knew a variety of Western languages in the ancient and modern Tongji library, but there was no one left over the years. ”

"Moreover, they only understand it, but they are not proficient, and the people brought back from the West are not accustomed to the soil and water, and secondly, it will take a long time for them to become familiar with our Korean script, so the efficiency of learning from each other is very low. Therefore, I was expecting Wu Dawei, a smart boy, but I didn't expect that now that he was just starting out, such a sudden incident came. ”

Liang Jiucheng said and looked at Zhang Shou with a sincere face: "Bachelor Zhang learned to be rich at a young age, I don't know if I can go to the ancient and modern Tongji library and take a look at other Taizu codexes, maybe after comparison, I can have some experience?" ”

Not to mention now, this is just the opportunity to cross that time, Zhang Shou will definitely think twice. After all, some secrets can be told to people, and some secrets need to be kept in the heart forever. For example, Emperor Taizu, even if he has been in this world for decades, has he ever told anyone that I am from the future?

So, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I even have the Taizu Codex in hand, and I can't do anything about it, let alone those in the ancient and modern collection library?" ”

"I really have the ability to be proficient in Western languages, and I sent those classics in Western languages before, and I still need to hope that Wu Dawei's kid learned the Ming script and then translated? I've been on my own for a long time, and I can save a lot of effort! ”

However, without waiting for Liang Jiucheng to persuade him again, he changed his words and said: "But since Liang Gonggong said so, I have already heard of the ancient and modern Tongji Library, and I am quite interested...... I heard that Yingying often slipped there in her early years, can you let her accompany me? ”

"If I get dizzy in that kind of place, there's someone to remind me."

Zhu Ying was still worried that Zhang Shou would really not be able to shirk it, but at this time, seeing that he agreed in the end, but signaled that she would accompany her, she immediately smiled, but immediately did not say whether she agreed or not, and said to Liang Jiucheng: "Father-in-law Liang, are you satisfied now?" ”

Liang Jiucheng also knew that looking for Zhang Shou was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, there was no evidence that Zhang Shou could read those books in Western characters, but the emperor obviously had expectations in this regard, and what was even more strange was that Chu Kuan actually had it, he thought about it that Zhang Shou's arithmetic textbook did cite many Western letters as symbols, and after thinking about it, he agreed to pass on this word.

At this time, the task was completed, and seeing that Zhu Ying's eyes showed a certain viciousness, knowing that he had disturbed other people's good nights, where would Liang Jiucheng stay where he was, of course, he hurriedly retreated. And when he left, Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately tiptoed behind Zhang Shou, who was contemplating, and coldly hugged his waist.

"Ah Shou, I haven't been to the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library for a long time. When I was a child, I could still walk around casually, but now I won't be allowed to enter like a thief, hmph, aren't you begging me to take you, my husband, to have a good look? Actually, I'll just say, you should go alone. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Shou suddenly smiled and pressed Zhu Ying's hand, and leaned on her soft body, "Since when have you not been able to enter?" ”

"Who knows, when I was a child, I occasionally played hide and seek with the emperor there, and who was happy to look at those tall piles of paper. Just a year ago, when I wanted to go in and have a look, I was stopped at the door. People still have one rule, one bite is really not accommodating, I'm angry! Now beg me and I won't go! Zhu Ying was a little angry as she spoke, but she didn't see Zhang Shou's brows furrowed slightly in front of her.

What Zhang Shou thought of was that Zhu Ying was blocked from the ancient and modern Tongji library, was it after she entered Beijing, was this a coincidence, or was it intentional by others? But even if someone else does it intentionally, that's normal. The wood is beautiful in the forest, even if it may not be destroyed by the wind, but at least it is eye-catching, and it is absolutely difficult to avoid being repeatedly checked.

Even if he has a teacher like Ge Yong as a shield and blocks the sight of many prying eyes, as long as he shows that he understands more than others and shows insight beyond his age, then this situation is inevitable.

Therefore, after he smiled, he said casually: "In this case, I will take you back to your hometown to take a good walk around and see what kind of heavenly books Emperor Taizu has left!" ”

The emperor did not wait for Liang Jiucheng to return to the palace to restore his life, so he called the third prince and the fourth prince, and drove to the ancient and modern Tongji library at night for the first time. When he came here during the day, it was okay, but now he personally walked in front of him with a dim lamp, and the light illuminated a long shadow, and the high bookshelf was dark and longing, but the fourth prince couldn't help but grab the clothes of the third prince, and his heart was really a little frightened. At this moment, he heard the voice of his father: "In this ancient and modern collection, there are actually quite a few people who have died. ”
