The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 124 Whoring Zheng Xuan for nothing

Before coming, Lin Chao knew that Zheng Xuan would definitely ask this question, and of course prepared a perfect answer.

"Duke Zheng, when I was young, I was lucky enough to meet a stranger." Lin Chao said, "It was the coldest winter and the twelfth lunar month, and that stranger passed by Zhongshan Anxi, hungry and in danger of freezing and starving to death. The father took pity on him, so he took him in for the winter at home, and when the spring came, he even prepared some money for him on the road. The man was grateful for his father's kindness, so he left a book, which recorded These symbols and algorithms."

"After the juniors get this book, they will study it for a long time. Although it is difficult to understand, it is very helpful."

This explanation is reasonable, and Zheng Xuan nodded repeatedly.

"I never thought Zichu would have such a chance..."

Zheng Xuan whispered to himself, and at the same time, there was a look of longing in his eyes.

He loves learning the most in his life, and when he heard that Lin Chao had an unheard-of arithmetic classic in his hand, he yearned for it.

But because of face, and Lin Chao's family education, it is not easy to ask.

It's better to take the school exam again, and then you can understand how far his mathematics has reached, and at the same time, you can get a glimpse of the classics of mathematics.

When Zheng Xuan was still thinking about how to get knowledge out of Lin Chao's hands, he saw that Lin Chao had already put his hand into his bosom and took out a booklet.

"This classic book is still at Zhongshan's home, but the younger generation copied a copy overnight. If Zheng Gong does not abandon it, he can correct it."

Lin Chao held the booklet in both hands, his face full of respect.

Looking at the booklet in Lin Chao's hand, Zheng Xuan's eyes lit up immediately, his white beard began to tremble, and the longing in his heart reached its peak.

"This... This is what Zi Chu learned, how easy it is for someone to watch, take it, take it."

God knows how much restraint Zheng Xuan used to wave his arms.

At the same time, he glanced his head over, and came out of sight and out of mind.

His look of wanting to look but not daring to look because of the rules made Lin Chao secretly smile, but his face became serious.

"Zheng Gong, with your attainments in arithmetic, you will definitely be able to check for gaps in this book, so that this book can be passed on to the world. I sincerely ask for advice, and I hope that Zheng Gong will not refuse. Big loss."

What he said makes sense!

Someone is not coveting his Lin family's unique mathematics, but really wants to correct this book so that it can be passed on to future generations.

This is the responsibility of every reader!

Yes, that's it!
Lin Chao's words finally found a step for Zheng Xuan to come down.

"Since that's the case, then I will borrow this book for a while, and I will definitely correct it for Zichu."

Zheng Xuan took the booklet and said solemnly.

After all, regardless of whether Lin Chao was still at the side, he opened the booklet and read it intently.

Seeing this, the young man next to him couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

"The teacher loves books like his life. When he first got this arithmetic classic, he naturally took a look at it first. It's no surprise that he still looks forward to Zichu."

The young man smiled at Lin Chao.

Lin Chao's attention had been on Zheng Xuan until the young man opened his mouth, and he took a rough look at him.

Damn, this guy looks more handsome than me, so don't stay!
"Where is it, Zheng Gong has such a true temperament, he should be a model for my generation of scholars."

"Brother Zichu, it's fine if you don't blame me."

The young man also sized up Lin Chao, who was very likely to become his junior.

"Dare to ask brother Tai Gao's name?"

"Cui Jigui in Xiaqinghe."

Lin Chao was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and already understood who this person was.

Qinghe Cui Yan, who studied under Zheng Xuan, will be one of Cao Cao's civil servants in the future.

Well, the one who died the most unjustly.

However, this guy is upright and talented, so he is a good candidate to be a censor.

Well, when I go back, I will also write his name in the small notebook.

Find a suitable opportunity and see if you can win them over.

If it doesn't work, then I can only buy him an official...

When Lin Chao was fantasizing, Cui Yan immediately noticed something was wrong, and Lin Chao's gaze sent a chill down his spine.

Why is Lin Zi's eyes so strange when he first looked at him?
Here, Zheng Xuan has roughly finished flipping through the booklet, after all, there is not much content.He also finally understood what Lin Chao meant by being obscure.

From time to time, it is filled with some calculation formulas written by Lin Chao. For Zheng Xuan, it is like reading a heavenly book.

Of course, the harder it is to understand, the more Zheng Xuan likes it!

Because this means that the level of this book is so high that I have never seen it before.

If he can master and verify the formulas in it one by one, then Zheng Xuan's arithmetic skills can be said to be at the top of a hundred feet, and he can go further than [-] steps!
After carefully putting away the booklet and keeping it close to him, Zheng Xuan said solemnly, "Zi Chu, how much of this book have you mastered?"

"Duke Zheng, this book is too obscure and difficult to understand, and this junior knows about one-tenth of it."

Lin Chao roughly calculated that the level of mathematics in this era can reach one-tenth of the booklet, which is just enough to reach the top level of the world.

"There are so many!"

As a master of arithmetic, Zheng Xuan naturally knew the value of the pamphlet, but he thought that Lin Chao's grasp of one percent was already a lot.

"If Zheng Gong doesn't believe it, you can verify it."

For mathematics, Lin Chao expressed confidence.

Zheng Xuan nodded, and immediately the two began to verify each other mathematically.

This confirmation is not important, Cui Yan next to him was dumbfounded.

He has followed Zheng Xuan for several years, and he thinks he has some research on arithmetic, but in front of the two of them, he has learned to be lonely, and he can't understand it at all...

Even Zheng Xuan, in the process of confirmation, became more and more frightened.

This Lin Zichu's way of solving the problem is eclectic, and the way of thinking in it is even unheard of by himself.

His ability in arithmetic is probably not inferior to his own!

If it is true that all of them are learned from his family's sutras, then this book is really precious!

After half a day, Zheng Xuan was completely convinced.

He pondered and said: "Zichu, a certain book wants to accept you as an apprentice, and teach him the skills of arithmetic. But now, it seems that a certain one has been entrusted to him, and what you have learned is no less than that one, so you don't need to be a teacher anymore. "

"However, since XX got your family's study of arithmetic, I can't take it for nothing. Zichu, what do you ask for, as long as XX can do it and does not violate morality, XX will definitely agree."

In Zheng Xuan's capacity, this promise is extremely rare.

Lin Chao immediately said: "Duke Zheng, this junior admires Duke Zheng's knowledge, and also hopes that Duke Zheng will accept me as an apprentice. Apart from that, I have nothing else to ask for!"

Just kidding, how can you prostitute your reputation without being a teacher.

You teacher, I recognize it!
Seeing Lin Chao's resoluteness, Zheng Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since Zichu is dedicated to learning, from today onwards, you will be the master's closed disciple."

The title of Closed Disciple means that Lin Chao is the last disciple Zheng Xuan accepted in his life, and he will no longer accept disciples in the future.

"Students meet the teacher!"

Hearing this, Lin Chao quickly performed a disciple salute.

"Okay, okay." Zheng Xuan introduced to Lin Chao again, "This is your brother Cui Yan, Cui Jigui."

"Zi first met senior brother."

Now that the names of master and apprentice have been determined, Lin Chao saluted Cui Yan again.

"You don't need to be too polite, Junior Brother."

Cui Yan replied.

After the three master and apprentice chatted for a while, Lu Zhi came back.

"Come here, seal the door of the house, and from today on, I will not go out!"

As soon as he came back, Lu Zhi ordered his servants to seal the door.

The servant didn't know why, and his face was inexplicable.

"Brother, what happened?"

Zheng Xuan stood up and asked.

Lu Zhi didn't answer, but went straight to his seat and sat down, and said, "Ji Gui, pour some wine."

"only."

Cui Yan agreed, poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Lu Zhi.

After Lu Zhi drank it all in one gulp, he noticed that Lin Chao was also in the mansion.

"Zi Chu is here too."

"Why is Lu Gong so angry?" Lin Chao asked with a smile.

"Ugh!"

Lu Zhi sighed and told what happened in the court today.

"If it wasn't for Cao Mengde's words to help, I'm afraid he would be dismissed from office this time." Lu Zhi sighed, "The emperor is stupid, and eunuchs are in power. If things go on like this, the 400-year-old man may be destroyed by their hands."

Hearing this, although Zheng Xuan was not an official in the court, he still sighed.

They are all people who have feelings for the big man.

But Lin Chao noticed an element.

Xiutu rebellion, Baibo Yellow Turban?
Most importantly, has Cao Cao returned to Beijing?

Well, we have to wait, since the court doesn't care about it, we can plan something after these two traitors become powerful.

However, the current situation in the capital is not chaotic enough, it is better to add fire first.

After taking his farewell from Lu Zhi's mansion, Lin Chao did not go home, but entered a secluded place in the north of the city under the leadership of Dian Wei.

After a while, the appointed time came.Under the leadership of Zuo Feng, the Zhongchang servant Jian Shuo strode into this private house.

Jian Shuo looked to be in his forties. Although his face was white and beardless, he looked very strong and strong, and he walked like a dragon and a tiger. From his appearance, he could not tell that he was an eunuch.

And Zuo Feng, who led the way in front of him, also looked like a man of aristocratic family, but a little feminine.

A few days ago, Lin Chao asked Dianwei to take away 700 million yuan, which was used to buy officials for San Xun.And that Dongxuanzi was used as a stepping stone to knock on Jian Shuo's door.

So, there is today's meeting.

It's just that Lin Chao didn't want to let Jian Shuo see his true face for the time being, so he asked Dian Wei to draw a curtain between the two of them.

When Jian Shuo saw the curtain, he thought it was Lin Chao for the purpose of talking in the secret room, so he wanted to push it aside and walk in, but Dian Wei stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What does that mean?"

Jian Shuo frowned and asked.His voice was also as rough as his appearance.

"Meet Mr. Jian."

Lin Chao's voice came from behind the curtain.

"Your Majesty invites our family to meet here, but dare not show your true colors. What do you mean?"

As the emperor's favorite person, there are not only many people who want to curry favor with him, but this is the first time I've seen someone like Lin Chao do it deliberately.

"Someone's status is a bit special. If people know that someone has an interview with Mr. Jian, I am afraid that there will be no place for someone to stay in this capital. Please don't blame Mr. Jian. A little expression is not a respect."

Hearing this, Dian Wei immediately presented ten ingots of horseshoe gold.

Jian Shuo was slightly taken aback by Lin Chao's behavior.

Those descendants of aristocratic families are all people who are trying to gain fame and reputation. They clearly want to do things for themselves, but they still have to pretend to be noble.He's obviously very rich, but he's so picky when he makes a move.

On the other hand, the person in the room was not coquettish and pretentious, he even explained his difficulties, and he didn't talk too much, just gave the money directly.

Seeing Jin Jin, Zuo Feng, who was standing beside him, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly took it.

Well, for the sake of money, let's listen to what this person has to say.

Jian Shuo made up his mind and sat down.

After a while, Lin Chao's voice came from inside again: "Mr. Jian, did you still satisfy Mr. Jian with the book Dongxuanzi a few days ago?"

Hearing this, Jian Shuo's face changed slightly.

Of course Emperor Liu Hong was satisfied with the Dongxuanzi, and Jian Shuo was rewarded for it and gained a lot of benefits.

But at this moment, Lin Chao suddenly mentioned this matter to remind Jian Shuo that I know a little about the affairs in the palace, so don't try to fool me.

Sure enough, Jian Shuo thought for a while, then cupped his hands behind the curtain and said, "Your Majesty is very satisfied with this book, it's all thanks to Mr."

"That's good. In fact, a certain invited Mr. Jian to come here today, not because he has something to ask, but because he has a good word to persuade him."

There was a curtain between the two of them, and Jian Shuo's first impression of Lin Chao was that of mystery. Hearing what he said now, he couldn't figure out whether he was playing tricks or not.

"If you have anything to say, sir, you might as well say it directly."

Lin Chao chuckled twice, and after making sure of his posture, he opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Jian, don't you know that a catastrophe is imminent for me, and I'm afraid I will die soon."

"presumptuous!"

Before Zuo Feng had time to put the horseshoe gold into his bosom, he heard Lin Chao's astonishing words, and immediately said angrily.

Jian Shuo shook his head, and looked into the curtain, as if he wanted to see through Lin Chao through the curtain.

"Sir's words are too alarmist, our family really can't believe it."

"Haha, I know that Mr. Jian doesn't believe me, but it's okay. Mr. Jian has something to say, please listen to Mr. Jian."

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Mr. Jian, do you still remember what did those civil servants do when the Yellow Turban disaster started five years ago?"

Hearing this, the corners of Jian Shuo's eyes twitched, and his eyes became serious.

Of course he remembered that when the Yellow Turban Rebellion first broke out, the ministers' first thought was not to send troops to suppress it, nor to find out the truth, but to point the finger at them officials.

Under the instigation of a group of senior officials in the court, someone went up to the emperor, please behead the head of the regular attendant, and hang it in the southern suburbs, not to mention that it is outrageous!
As soon as this remark came out, the whole court immediately echoed.

Taking advantage of the environment of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Confucian gentry finally found an excuse to force the emperor to kill the eunuch.

Jian Shuo has been in the palace for 30 years, and it was at that time that he really felt that he was so close to death.

In the end, the regular servants headed by Zhang Rang cried to the emperor together, which saved them from the murder, and the people who went up were also arrested by Zhao Zhong and tortured to death.

But it was not without cost. In the end, the emperor lifted the ban on the party and appointed Confucian clans to mobilize troops to quell the chaos.

At present, most of the princes in the court of Gungun rose to high positions because of that civil uprising.

Even after five years, Jian Shuo still has lingering fears when he thinks about it again.

Now, this matter was brought up again by Lin Chao, and Jian Shuo immediately thought of a possibility.

"Sir, what do you mean, those people will use the name of the rebellion between the Xiutu Department and the Baibo bandits to take advantage of the opportunity?"

Jian Shuo asked.
