The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1521

[1521.Chapter 1445: Personal inspection by the imperial driver]

Even so, this environment… actually made Zhu Zaimo very fulfilled and happy.

It’s an amazing feeling.

Watch countless liquids mix together and record the data.

Countless data, and finally through words, conclusions are drawn one by one.

Even during the synthesis process, you can always come up with something interesting.

Not only that, in a laboratory of the institute, a group of students repeatedly performed calculations.

They’re calculating ballistics.

Zhu Zaimo suddenly realized that…even where the cannonball landed could be calculated.

Missless shots.

Zhu Zaimo suddenly understood something.

But… what does the calculation of this ballistics have to do with hanging a pot to save the world and cure diseases and save people?

Zhu Zaimo was puzzled.

He saw these withdrawn graduate students who were indifferent to everyone.

I also saw my father scolding them one by one, but they were too embarrassed to speak out.

He even saw the emotion of countless people worshiping his father. It seemed that… even being scolded by his own father was like smoking in the ancestral grave.

Zhu Zaimo also became interested in numbers.

He began to read articles in quest journals.

After getting in touch with mathematics, he realized that… in the Ming Dynasty, there were many mathematical experts. These people were outstanding people in the arithmetic academy. They had summed up many formulas. On top of simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, functions gradually began to appear, and on top of functions, calculus calculations began to appear.

They are no longer satisfied with the addition and subtraction of money and food, or the nine chapters of arithmetic, but have begun to study in depth many calculation methods that people could not even imagine.

It was very difficult for Zhu Zaimo to get started. He lay in front of the blackboard and looked at the extremely complex calculation formulas left by these experts on the blackboard. It took him a lot of days before he managed to gain a little bit of knowledge.

But the big guys are very proud, and they have no time to waste time in front of young people, even if this person is the grandson of the emperor.

These days, they don’t pay much attention to him. They are all swimming in the ocean of mathematics, fascinated.

It’s probably similar to some enlightened Taoists. Their attitude towards secular people is often…go away and don’t disturb me from doing math.

Zhu Zaimo thought of a person, a very powerful person.

So he wrote a letter, looking pitiful, asking for advice on many of his problems.

After all, it is sometimes easy to be confused when reading a paper.

Someone needs to explain it more thoroughly.

Then, another reply came.

This look was even more frightening, because Zhu Zaimo found that he didn’t get the answer, so he just paid it back, but his questions were answered by the other party. As a result, Zhu Zaimo had dozens or hundreds more questions. a question.

Damn it…

the national curses that are prevalent in Beijing are always easy to appear in the research institute.

Because whenever there is any new discovery that subverts people’s cognition, the people here will always say “f*ck, f*ck, f*ck” non-stop.

Zhu Zaimo… also learned it.

…

the end of the year is approaching.

When Emperor Hongzhi was young, he looked forward to celebrating the New Year, but when the year came, he couldn’t help but feel anxious about celebrating the New Year.

The day of rest is approaching, and all departments are getting busy.

The Ministry of Personnel is currently in a commotion because of the selection of officials to go to various provinces and governments.

I heard that the newly dispatched officials were quickly ignored by the local officials when they arrived. What’s more, they were directly abused by the local officials. All kinds of humiliating things happened from time to time.

But in this regard, Ouyang Zhi seemed surprisingly calm, and the officials did not express any response to this matter.

At the end of the year, Emperor Hongzhi summoned Ouyang Zhi. What Emperor Hongzhi held in his hand was the report from the Statistics Department. He gave Ouyang Zhi a meaningful look.

“The officials in the Qing family, in all prefectures and counties, are all having a hard time. They are all the pillars of the imperial court. Although their status is humble, I still have expectations for them, but…”

After these two words, Emperor Hongzhi Silent, but staring at Ouyang Zhi with a somewhat anxious expression.

It means whether we should issue a decree to put an end to this kind of trend.

After Ouyang Zhi fell silent, he seemed calm and composed.

Logically speaking, these officials were all recruited by Ouyang Zhi personally, and they are Ouyang Zhi’s treasures. This is also related to the implementation of the new policy of the Ministry of Personnel. If any Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel is faced with this topic, They should all show sadness and anger, or… heartache.

But Ouyang Zhi was as calm as ever.

This calming power is enough to calm anyone down.

Emperor Hongzhi also calmed down and acted less anxious. Instead, he quietly waited for Ouyang Zhi’s reply.

When Ouyang Zhi saw Emperor Hongzhi’s expression of waiting for his words, he pursed his lips before speaking and said calmly.

“Your Majesty, everything has a process. This is not necessarily the problem of parents and officials. The root cause lies in their perception. If you want to change their perceptions, it means that the officials need to work harder and do more than Everyone is good, otherwise, why send them to various prefectures and counties? I know that Your Majesty feels sorry for them, but if you can’t even stand this little look, this little humiliation, then what use are they to the overall situation of the New Deal? Your Majesty is wise, just let them crawl around in the local area. When children go out, their shoes will inevitably get wet and muddy. I trust them. Their minds are stronger than ordinary people and will not be affected by anything. If a person suffers setbacks, he will be defeated or lose his fighting spirit. If a person cannot overcome difficulties, it will be difficult for him to become a great person. Such people will not feel a pity if they are eliminated.”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and couldn’t help but smile. .

It can be said that Ouyang Zhi is one of the most trusted ministers of Emperor Hongzhi.

Because of this, Emperor Hongzhi would always chat with him after talking about official business.

“Well, I was worried too much. Ouyang Qing’s family, do you think…did I do the right thing? I gave the emperor’s grandson to his successor and the prince, but…the prince and the emperor’s grandson, but Fire and water are incompatible. The fight between father and son has already been a big deal. If something happens again, how will it end? Now everyone in the court is worried. What do you think?”

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a while. , then he said: “This Tian family’s family affairs have nothing to do with foreign dynasties, I dare not talk

nonsense.” Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: “I regard you as a family member, so you can just say it.”

Ouyang Zhi then relaxed and said, Said very seriously.

“My mentor is unfathomable. Since he chose to do this, he must have planned it for a long time. Therefore, I think that my mentor must have his intention. Why do you need to worry about your majesty? If your majesty is still worried, it has been several months, so why, your majesty? Go and have a look. Seeing is believing. Are the prince and the emperor really incompatible with each other?”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “You don’t know something.” He paused and said, “I don’t dare to look. , I don’t dare to check, but if I want to look and check, there is no airtight wall in this world, I am afraid of seeing something or finding something.”

Ouyang Zhi frowned and was silent for a while, then said truthfully: “Your Majesty, you are deceiving yourself.”

Ouyang Zhi spoke unabashedly, pricking Emperor Hongzhi’s mind.

Emperor Hongzhi didn’t take Ouyang Zhi’s gaffe seriously, but shook his head and said with a smile: “No, it’s rare to be confused.” It’s

rare to be confused, that is, not to explore the truth, because most of the truth in this world is bloody and disturbing. Not daring to look directly, not daring to face.

Therefore, there will always be many ‘wise men’ in life who take this rare confusion as their motto.

When Ouyang Zhi heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled.

“But if Your Majesty doesn’t look or investigate, then you will always be worried. The truth is right in front of Your Majesty, at your fingertips. Just because Your Majesty doesn’t care, it doesn’t mean he didn’t exist.”

“What if we find out something?”

Hongzhi The emperor stared at Ouyang Zhi.

He really didn’t dare to investigate the prince in detail. God knows how many terrible things the prince has done.

Ouyang Zhi was silent.

a long time.

He held his head high.

Looking directly into Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes: “If you find something, find something. Will Your Majesty be afraid of other people’s criticism and rumors?”

“I’ll think about it again.” Emperor Hongzhi nodded and waved his hand.

Ouyang Zhi said goodbye and left.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at the void in the palace in a daze, pondering for a long time without speaking.

After a long time, he suddenly looked sideways and asked Xiao Jing: “What do you think of Ouyang Qing’s family’s words?”

Xiao Jing said: “What I know is that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are very worried about this. However, fortunately, His Majesty is wise… they are… , I don’t dare to question it too much… It’s just… Your Majesty, there are still rumors about the fight between the emperor’s grandson and the prince.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s face turned pale: “Yes, someone is watching a joke. They are really worried. As long as I cover up, they will become more powerful… One of them is my son, and the other is my grandson. The palms and backs of their hands are all my flesh and blood, and it will hurt whoever the stick hits. He

pondered for a long time: “Pass the message, go to Xishan. It’s almost the end of the year. It’s time to go and take a look. If you don’t let them take a look, they will never see it.” If it is true, they will continue to pass it on, and the ministers will criticize it. This is not a good thing.”

Xiao

Jing nodded: “I obey the order.” He thought about it and said, “Should I inform the successor in advance and let him prepare in advance?”

It means… should we make arrangements in advance so that nothing goes wrong and it’s embarrassing when the time comes.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: “There is a saying in Ouyang Qing’s family that the truth is there. There is no way to pretend to be deaf and dumb. There is no need to notify Fang Jifan in advance. I and all the officials will go and see with our own eyes. “

Yes, I also want to know how the emperor’s studies are going now. Let’s just think of it as a test.”

Xiao Jing nodded: “I obey the order. I don’t know when to leave.”

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: “Now!” ”
