Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 108 Meeting again when the peach blossoms bloom in the coming year

There is no mutual affection in TV dramas, so Lan Xian'er told Zhu Qi about it.

Zhu Qi was already mentally prepared. After all, before inviting Lan Xian'er to be his bodyguard, he had made an agreement that if Lan Xian'er wanted to leave, he would never stop her.

What's more, Lan Xian'er didn't leave forever.

On this day on the first day of February, the weather was fine and the spring breeze was like a spring breeze.

Lan Xian'er, who was dressed as a chivalrous woman again, looked at His Highness Liao Wang who came to see him off, and said softly:
"Your Highness, I will go back to Miaojiang, and after explaining to my teacher, I will come back to visit you, and it will take about half a year to visit you.

If Master is willing, I will take Master over as well. "

As for what to do after returning, of course it is a good thing to accomplish.

It's just that Lan Xian'er didn't tell the truth, even though Zhu Qi really wanted to get on the bus first and then make up for the fare, but in Hongwu's conservative concept, it is obviously not appropriate to do so.

Besides, Lan Xian'er is a girl from Miao Jiang, and a girl from Miao Jiang is dedicated to feelings. What's more, Lan Xian'er is a martial arts master. She used to be an iceberg beauty, Zhu Qi is not worried about other changes.

"Do you really not need me to arrange guards to accompany you?"

After Zhu Qigang finished asking, Lan Xian'er shook her head and said:
"No, outsiders can't enter the place I want to go back to, and I don't need guards along the way. If someone follows me, it will be more troublesome."

Zhu Qi just asked casually, Lan Xian'er already had quite a lot of experience in traveling the rivers and lakes, so naturally she didn't need extra guards.

Zhu Qi nodded, thought for a while and said:

"That's fine. I just came to meet Zhu Liangzu while you were not in Yingtian Mansion."

When Zhu Liangzu was mentioned, Lan Xian'er was taken aback for a moment, and then said:

"Has Your Highness always taken it to heart?"

Zhu Qi nodded and said:

"Even if your enemy is my enemy, it's inconvenient to kill him obviously, and you have to collect some criminal evidence."

As soon as Zhu Qi finished speaking, Lan Xian'er hesitated for a moment, but said softly:

"I heard that Zhu Liangzu is a general who can fight well..."

Zhu Qi smiled in his heart, since she met Lan Xian'er last year, she only mentioned her enmity with Zhu Liangzu at the beginning, and then she didn't say much about it.

Mostly because he didn't want to embarrass himself, after all, he was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Liangzu was the general of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Liangzu's bad deeds in history were full of bad deeds, he refused to change after repeated admonitions, and even regarded the common people in Guangdong as a scourge.

He was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang and his son to Yingtian Mansion, where he was beaten to death with a whip.

And according to Zhu Qi's investigation, Zhu Liangzu had indeed violated military orders and harassed the people several times in the process of leading troops to fight.

Like Zhu Liangzu, who can lead troops to fight, as long as he doesn't go too far, doesn't exploit the common people, and is a little arrogant, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't punish him for serious crimes.

After all, as a military general, if he wanted to gain benefits from the people, it would be as difficult as reaching the sky, and if he wanted to gain money from the court, a general who led troops to fight rarely had such an opportunity.

The only thing is to steal more spoils when defeating the enemy. It is actually very difficult for the imperial court to investigate and find out the evidence.

As for being able to fight well, Hongwu Daming will be short of generals?
In the age when stars are born in large numbers, why tolerate Zhu Liangzu's bad character for the sake of his ability?

It is as strong as Sapphire, and I have never seen the behavior of Zhu Liangzu's common people in history.

If it is true that Sapphire has any stains, it is at most a battle in Yuerhai, after capturing the concubines and princesses of the Northern Yuan Emperor, and allowing the soldiers to bully the Northern Yuan Emperor's concubines and princesses.

From the point of view of modern people, it does mean that the captives are not treated kindly.

But thinking about the nomadic oppression of the Han people since the Northern Song Dynasty, the shame of Jingkang, the shame of Yashan, less than three out of ten Han people were killed, it is understandable for Lan Yu to do this.

As for other things such as rebellion, it was only after Zhu Biao's death that Zhu Yuanzhang had to kill these meritorious officials in order to pave the way for Zhu Yunqi.

Because Zhu Yunqi can't control these generals, how old is he, and how much friendship he has with these generals.

At that time, Li Shanchang was in his seventies and eighties, and had lived in seclusion in the officialdom for more than ten years, so he was pulled out by Zhu Yuanzhang and killed.

Therefore, it is a pity that Sapphire is a real victim of politics.

Zhu Qi has historical knowledge beyond this era, and he has no sense of self-blame when dealing with Zhu Liangzu.

It's as if you traveled to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the young Qin Hui first entered the officialdom. You who know the history later, do you want to find a way to kill you?

Is it the same reason?

But Zhu Qi would not say these words to Lan Xian'er, this is a great opportunity to gain a lot of goodwill!

Zhu Qi put his hands behind his back and said:

"It's good to say that this person has talent and learning, but if it is said that he can recruit generals who are good at fighting, it may not be that this Zhu Liangzu is comparable to my Liao king Zhu Qi.

What's more, after I got to know it privately, this Zhu Liangzu was not a general who loved the people. He was a rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he had done many harms to the people.

Now that he is going to be transferred to Guangdong, it is unlikely that he will cause harm to one side.

What's more, dealing with Zhu Liangzu is for the sake of you, Xian'er, and I, Zhu Qi, are obliged to do so!

Emotionally and rationally, there is nothing wrong with it. "

After Zhu Qi finished speaking domineeringly, Lan Xian'er's face was quite moved.

But after all, Lan Xian'er is not a little girl like Xu Miaoyun, so she won't throw herself into her arms after saying a few sweet words.

Lan Xian'er didn't say much, then turned around and left with a salute, showing her heroine demeanor.

Just looking at the back of Lan Xian'er leaving, Zhu Qina was quite melancholy, and he was thinking about whether to say something.

Lan Xian'er suddenly stopped, then turned around and walked quickly to Zhu Qi's side.

Before Zhu Qi could react, Lan Xian'er leaned over, and her red lips gently covered Zhu Qi's.

Although it was only applied lightly, it already made Zhu Qi feel quite excited.

This is my first kiss...

Lan Xian'er turned around again, and a piece of peach blossom and fallen leaves beside her quietly fell between Lan Xian'er and Zhu Qi:
"When the peach blossoms bloom next year, the little girl will meet His Highness again."

Lan Xian'er's back gradually drifted away, Zhu Qi stood where he was, watching Lan Xian'er's leaving back in a daze for a long time.

An internal officer next to him hesitated again and again, stepped forward and asked:

"Your Highness, if you really don't want to part with Miss Xian'er, you can tell His Majesty. Your Majesty has issued a decree, and you have to listen to her regardless of the situation in her family."

Zhu Qibai glanced at the eunuch, thinking that there are many beautiful girls in the world, so how many beautiful girls can you find?
It's like choosing a concubine, all the weak birds sticking to the side, what's the point of that?

This is called love, you can't force it.

Of course, Zhu Qi was just thinking about it in his heart, and he would not say it directly. He just sighed, exhaled the melancholy in his heart, and said:

"Let's go, there are still many things to do."

Let's meet again when the peach blossoms bloom next year.

--------

In the ninth year of Hongwu, in the middle of February.

Li Qi's marriage was soon settled, and Zhu Yuanzhang made a decree to give him the marriage.

Good guy, I'm so happy for Li Qi, I'm so embarrassed.

It was rare for Zhu Qi to be idle for a few days, but soon he became busy again.

There is no other reason, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor who attaches great importance to numerology, found that in Yingtian Mansion, few people could answer the question Zhu Qi asked, so he said in the court:

"Look, Hu Yuan has ruled for less than a hundred years, how far my Central Plains culture has regressed, I heard that the Tianyuan technique was so good, is there anyone who knows it now?"

To be honest, most of the people in the court were a little confused when they heard the Tianyuan technique.

However, there are still some well-informed people who know what Tianyuanshu is.

The so-called Tianyuan technique is actually a general method of using unknown sequence equations, which is basically the same as the method of sequence equations in modern algebra.

It reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, and in the Yuan Dynasty, mathematicians also made summaries.

It is a pity that in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, Tianyuanshu was gradually lost due to the war and various other reasons.

Zhu Qi also mentioned the example of Tianyuanshu when he was talking about the importance of mathematics with Zhu Yuanzhang in the marriage match. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang brought it up in the court to ask the ministers and workers.

Seeing that the mathematics skills of the ministers are so poor, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he often talked about how powerful the ancient number skills were during the Tang and Song Dynasties, but now he has completely forgotten them all.

Therefore, while Zhu Yuanzhang was working hard to promote the abacus, he also hoped to see the revival of these "mathematical stunts" that were about to be lost.

After all, the Hongwu dynasty was focused on the revival of Han culture from beginning to end.

It is a pity that this kind of revival in history requires all the dross, which is actually very undesirable.

For example, Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism, the original intention of creation is good, hoping to maintain social order, everyone live and work in peace and contentment, but in practice, it becomes more and more dogmatic, and many people who learn it are no different from nerds.

Fortunately, Wang Yangming's Theology of Mind was born later, which made a big patch to Confucianism that was gradually going astray, and after updating the version, it gradually glowed with new vitality.

Then in the Qing Dynasty, everything focused on maintaining stability, and the result is naturally needless to mention.

Later, most of the works of Xinxue still need to go to Japan to get the Japanese version for translation, which can be said to be very sad.

So Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Qi a task, that is to re-support these lost numerology in Tang and Song Dynasties, and in the future, the course of numerology will also be added to government schools.

As for whether to take the imperial examination and how to take it, do you still need to ask?
Announcement now, three years later, unified examination!

This is a good thing. After all, Zhu Qi deliberately emphasized the importance of mathematics during the match with his relatives. Isn't it just for the country to pay attention to mathematics by blowing the wind beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

But you actually want me to be a cartoonist to do this matter, which is really a bit difficult...

As we all know, how many good maths can draw manga?

The head of state may not be very good at mathematics!

If I'm good at math, I'll still draw a fart cartoon.

It’s okay to come up with some topics to fool people, but if you let yourself summarize systematically and then teach in government schools, it’s really an international joke.

Zhu Qi immediately refused, and the reason for the rejection was very straightforward:
"Father, how good and capable is the child, if you are worthy of this great task, you should choose another master!"

Zhu Qi is really not being modest, but speaking the truth.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe that Zhu Qi could not do it because of his repeated modest experiences before.

You know, this Zhu Qi can even give up his military achievements to others, there is no one who is so humble.

Zhu Yuanzhang also said very straightforwardly:
"Third, this matter has been decided to be you!"

Good guy, this is a death order.

Chun Wei was taking the test here, and Zhu Qi felt as if he had returned to his school days, and began to list the mathematics knowledge he had learned in school day and night.

Thanks to the benefits of time travel, Zhu Qi unexpectedly still has a deep memory of these things, especially the knowledge he learned in class, he still remembers a lot.

But here comes the problem again, remember to remember, teaching is another matter.

Zhu Qi had never been a teacher at all, so how to pour out the ink in his stomach to others has become a big problem.

Especially what Zhu Qi writes are all Arabic numerals. It is really very rare to be able to understand Arabic numerals these days...

Knowing Arabic numerals... that's right!

You can find foreigners to teach!
When Zhu Qi thought of this, he immediately became excited.

There are quite a lot of foreigners in Daming these days.

In fact, as early as the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of Westerners, Arabs, etc. came to China.

This is all the effect of the Mongolian conquest. In the past, the Central Plains was a part of East Asia. When Mongolia conquered most of Eurasia.

While bringing great pain to the local residents, it also brought rare opportunities for cultural integration and exchanges.

It is precisely because of this opportunity that many foreigners have come here, and the more famous one is Marco Polo.

But at this point in time, Marco Polo had passed away.

But it does not mean that there are no other foreigners in the Central Plains. You must know that during the Yuan Dynasty, many Westerners and Arabs were officials in the court.

These people are collectively called Semu people.

In the Xiaoxiang Hall, there are girls with sexy eyes performing ass-twisting dances. It makes no sense to find a foreigner who is proficient in mathematics and can't find them!
In recent years, Western mathematics and Arabic mathematics have undergone systematic and considerable development, especially the establishment of universities, which have exported a large number of mathematical talents to Western society.

It can be said that the West is more mature than the East in terms of the field, system and achievements of mathematics, and the popularity of Arabic numerals has also anchored the foundation for their mathematics development.

Bad things should be corrected, and good things should be learned. Zhu Qi didn't have such a deep distinction between Hua and Yi in his heart, so he ordered it immediately.

Look for those foreigners who are good at math!
As for how to find it, it is also very simple. Zhu Qi came up with a math problem written in Arabic numerals...
