Chapter 366: An Unexpected Banquet

Princess Pingyang said: "Erlang, I will send someone to continue to follow up, communicate with each other, and Youyang will go and be busy with your affairs." ”

On the first day, Xue Lang attended the meeting to show Princess Pingyang's attitude of support for this matter. Now that his attitude has been clearly expressed, Xue Lang can naturally withdraw temporarily, after all, he also has a lot of affairs to be busy with in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

With King Qin, the next thing to do is to confirm everyone's confessions and various evidence, consolidate the existing achievements, and see if there are still things and possibilities that can be excavated. These are all meticulous work, and they don't need Xue Lang to be present, just pay attention to them silently.

Xue Lang agreed, and talked to Princess Pingyang for a while, not wanting to experience Miss Akou's weird way of giving people anymore, Xue Lang consciously said goodbye before dark.

In the next few days, the king of Qin did not stop because of the surrender of those people, but was violent, and went around arresting people with great momentum, or summoning people to Dali Temple, without being discouraged by the unsmooth situation in the early stage, everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner.

The atmosphere in the capital is because of the great momentum of the King of Qin and a little more secret, in the past spring can always see the children of each family calling friends, flying eagles and lackeys, the female dependents of each family to play in the spring, this spring, outside the city of Chang'an, there are many fewer obstacles on the side of the bridge, and there is no bustle in the past.

The sage didn't speak, the king of Qin had a sage's edict, and he acted according to the law, so the imperial history naturally couldn't find anything to say. It seems that everyone is paying attention, and no one seems to be paying attention.

Xue Lang goes to work in an orderly manner every day, not affected by half a point, and in the current situation where the situation is unknown, it is none of his business, and no one is uninterested in coming to him to inquire about something.

Things should have been like this, until this day, Xue Lang was still working in the yamen, and Rugui, the chamberlain next to Princess Pingyang, came to the door: "Yu Ma, the prince held a banquet in the East Palace, and invited the princess and the horse to attend, but the princess was injured and needed to recuperate, and the princess specially ordered the old slave to inform the horse and invite the horse to the banquet." ”

Prince?!

Xue Lang was full of surprise, how could it be that the prince jumped out first? Could it be that it has nothing to do with what King Qin investigated? Otherwise, it would not be the turn of the prince to stand up first, after all, the prince and King Qin and Princess Pingyang are compatriots of the same mother, and they should naturally be the same in terms of defending their mother's position. Is it for something else?

Xue Lang couldn't think of a reason, and after checking that he didn't have any untidy appearance, he said hello to Pei Ju, and then followed Rugui to the East Palace.

Under the guidance of the palace people, to the palace where the prince set up a banquet, the prince sat on the top in regular clothes, and the crown princess Yan sat next to him, and the king of Qi was also there, and the beautiful and intellectual princess Qi sat beside him.

"Chen Xue Lang paid a visit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, King Qi, Princess Qi. Princess Pingyang is unable to come due to ill health, so I would like to express her apologies to the crown prince and the princess, and when she recovers, she will definitely come in person. ”

The prince nodded, and did not ask Princess Pingyang why she was sick, obviously, the conflict between King Qin and the saint in the palace that day, as well as the beginning and end of Princess Pingyang's injury, the prince already knew, the prince asked with concern: "Ah Mei's injury, is it better?" The crown princess and I sent someone to ask a few days ago, but we can't go down to the ground yet, what about today? Is it getting better? ”

Xue Lang consciously thanked Princess Pingyang and said: "Back to the prince, when I went to see it yesterday, I was able to go to the ground, but I had to be careful during my actions, so as not to shake the injured area, and I still need to take medicine to recuperate." ”

The prince nodded, turned to the crown princess and said, "You go to my library to see if there are suitable medicinal materials, and send someone to send some more to Ah Mei." ”

The crown princess responded: "Oh, don't worry, Dalang, I will go out of the palace tomorrow to see Sanniang." ”

The prince nodded, waved his hand and said: "Patronizing and talking, Youyang will sit down quickly, King Qin has not yet arrived, and wait for him, as soon as King Qin arrives, he will be able to hold a banquet." ”

"Oh, Prince Xie."

Xue Lang sat on his seat under the guidance of the palace people, King Qi looked at him coldly, his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes, but it may be because the prince was there, and King Qi did not dare to embarrass Xue Lang, so he just drank his own wine.

After Xue Lang sat down, the prince smiled and said, "I heard that Youyang has done an extremely good job in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he has won Pei Shangshu's praise?" ”

Pei Ju also serves as the crown prince Zhan Shi in the prince's East Palace, and it is not surprising that the two will communicate. However, Xue Lang upheld the virtue of modesty, and said: "The minister didn't do anything, but he followed the rules, and on this basis, he made some slight improvements in statistics and records, so that the office efficiency was slightly improved." ”

The prince asked what efficiency meant, and after listening to it, he praised: "It can be seen that Youyang's behavior is much calmer than before, and not to mention the progress in official duties, it is said that this improvement in temperament is a gratifying harvest." ”

The prince always thought that Xue Lang's political views were not stable enough and a little radical, but when he saw that he was doing steadily and steadily in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his joy was beyond words. Obviously, the crown prince cherishes Xue Lang, but he doesn't like his radical attitude towards the family.

Xue Lang naturally wouldn't refute the prince at this time, he just had a low EQ, not a low IQ, so he arched his hand towards the prince and said with a smile: "What the prince said is that after entering the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he has learned a lot of knowledge and has a lot more understanding of our dynasty, but it is not enough, and he still needs to work hard." ”

The prince smiled and bowed his head and praised: "Great goodness! With this enterprising heart, everything can be done. ”

That's a great compliment!

Xue Lang smiled shyly and threw his hand towards the prince. The prince smiled and stretched out his hand to touch him, and said: "I heard Pei Shangshu say that Youyang is quite proficient in the study of mathematics, and what he has learned seems to be different from my Datang?" ”

Xue Lang replied: "Back to the prince, there is actually no difference between the mathematics learned by the ministers and the mathematics of our dynasty, but there are differences in teaching methods due to different national conditions. Chen had borrowed books on mathematics and arithmetic such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and compared with what he had learned since childhood, the way of recording books in the two places was very different. Books such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" emphasize examples, and the ministers have learned their own theories, in contrast, "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" must have a mathematical foundation to understand, and it is not suitable for beginners; What the minister has learned since childhood is relatively easy, especially when he is a beginner, it is more suitable. ”

"It's just some tricks, and it deserves such a long story? Exaggeration? ”

King Qi, who had been watching coldly and drinking alone, couldn't help but sneer. Xue Lang was not displeased, it is not surprising that the ancients had such an idea, compared to the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the Tang Dynasty was already enlightened about mathematics.

Xue Lang said: "King Qi's words are wrong. Since childhood, Chen has heard a saying that mathematics is the king of science. From building a house, building a city and leading soldiers, to buying groceries, all of them need to be applied to mathematics. ”

King Qi sneered, and was about to speak, when the announcement of the palace people outside came: "King Qin has arrived!" ”

Xue Lang took advantage of the situation to accept his words, and did not give King Qi the idea of popularizing science and correcting concepts at all, and talked about mathematics with King Qi, Xue Lang felt that it was similar to playing the piano to a cow, and it was a waste of effort.
