Chapter 254 Arithmetic Wizard
The emperor personally received this great Confucian, and there are such talents in the clan, which is really unexpected to the emperor.

Out of closeness to the clan, the emperor did not convene a court meeting, but held a family banquet in the palace to meet this genius. After reading these three works, the emperor ordered Zhang He to investigate his information , this person is not only good at arithmetic and proficient in astronomy, he is even a very good political minister. When he was working in the local area, he was respected and supported by the local people!

After Liu Hong was brought to the palace by Song Dian, he was also very grateful for the emperor's love. Liu Hong was not tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his complexion was vicissitudes. Such a genius has amazed countless Confucian scholars. When the Son of Heaven saw him, he walked over with a smile, held his hand, and said with a smile, "My Zhanghou has arrived!"

Hearing that the Son of Heaven praised him so much, Liu Hong was a little excited, even a little flustered, saluted quickly, and didn't even dare to say it.

Seeing Liu Hong like this, Song Dian, who came to see him off, twitched, but didn't speak, turned around and left.

The emperor kindly asked him to sit down, and the two sat opposite each other. The banquet was not big, and there were only two seats for them. However, this showed the emperor's respect for him even more. The two exchanged greetings for a while, and the emperor also took the opportunity to ask This person is not good at talking, but the way of governing is somewhat similar to Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi's. They are both relatively gentle and centered on loving the people.

The emperor is quite satisfied with this, a minister like Yang Qiu is naturally good, but if there are too many, it will be troublesome.

"Your Majesty, I have been fond of calculating since I was a child. The so-called square field is to measure the size of plane figures, including lengths, triangles, ladders, circles, fans, bows, rings, etc. Each calculation method is different. fractions."

"Corn is converted by the proportion of grains and grains, which is called Jinyoushu, and its proportional distribution law is called Decaying Technique." When it comes to arithmetic, Liu Hong suddenly seems to be a different person, boasting, speaking speed and duration , It is probably comparable to the talent of the old Taiwei. Liu Hong explained his own works for this talented emperor, and introduced every chapter very clearly.

The Son of Heaven listened quietly with a smile on his face, some couldn't help showing a surprised expression, some pleasantly surprised, some excited.

I thought to myself: What is this guy talking about? ? ?

Ever since he started talking about Fang Tian, ​​I couldn't understand a single word, He Shiwei never taught me!

After finally surviving until he finished speaking, the emperor clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Today, I suddenly realized that I am a master of arithmetic, and it is worthy of the name!"

Liu Hong also became happy, he simply regarded the emperor as his confidant and comrade, he frowned, and asked with some solemnity: "Your Majesty thinks that surplus is not sufficient, surplus is sufficient and deficiency is sufficient, two surpluses and two insufficiencies , may be listed as a separate chapter? Today, most scholars who study mathematics do not recognize this point, which is called nonsense!!"

"Eh, I think that if there is not enough yin, we should use yang energy"

"kindness?"

"I think that what you think is the most correct and perfect. I will hold a court meeting tomorrow to criticize those ignorant Confucians!" The emperor said solemnly, Liu Hong nodded, clapped his hands with a smile and said : "That's right. Besides, Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

Ma Ye. The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "What else can you do?"

"I don't know if His Majesty knows astronomy?"

"I don't know"

"Your Majesty, don't be humble!"

"."

"After careful research, I finally found out that the "Four-Part Calendar" used today is not accurate. The minister observed the sky at night and calculated it. When returning to the new year, it should be 580/36/140. 450/770 and [-] three. This is the Dingshuo algorithm, what does your Majesty think?"

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath and nodded with a smile: "Very good, very good, really good!"

"Your Majesty thinks this"

"Liu Jun, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, why don't we talk about it in the future, how about it?"

Liu Hong got up nervously, and asked, "What's wrong with your Majesty? I know a little bit about medicine."

"It's okay, it's okay, I just have some headaches, you can go back first, and I'll call for a court meeting tomorrow."

"I hope Your Majesty will take good care of your holy body, and I will take my leave. Your Majesty, I hope that your Majesty will be able to speak for your ministers about the matter of insufficient surplus, sufficient sufficient and insufficient sufficient, two surpluses and two inconsistencies tomorrow!" Liu Hong shouted at him. Bai, and then slowly left, Song Dian took him out of the palace, when Song Dian returned to the main hall, the emperor was rubbing his forehead, sighing helplessly.

Song Dian was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, he suppressed his laughter and lowered his head.

The emperor raised his head, looked at his appearance, became furious, and cursed: "You idiot, what are you laughing at, why don't you hurry up and get me a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"!" Song Dian bowed and ran out quickly , the emperor shook his head secretly, this person must be sent to other places as an official, and he must not stay in the temple, otherwise, I can't bear it!

That night, I read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" through the night. On the second day, the emperor was extremely tired and held a court meeting.

After the officials arrived, they all realized that the emperor was exhausted. They paid homage to the emperor and asked to cook the king's festival letter. After completing the process as soon as possible, they officially started the court meeting. This time, the court meeting was mainly among the officials to praise Liu Hong. , By the way, he was promoted. Liu Hong sat among the hundred officials, looking at the emperor with some fiery eyes. Of course, he was not doing it for fame and fortune, but for the emperor to prove his argument.

The emperor just asked a few words about Liu Hong, and all the officials agreed one after another and praised him one after another. Liu Hong's old face was a little blushing. Afterwards, the officials began to discuss the reward for him. Yuan Feng stood up and said: For Liu Hong’s merits, he should be promoted to a doctor, offer wine, and give it to his servant.” When the emperor heard this, his eyes darkened, and he quickly said, “If this is the case, wouldn’t it be a waste of talent?”

"In my opinion, it should be bestowed with two thousand stones!"

The officials understood the emperor's idea of ​​rewarding him heavily, so they began to discuss again. After the discussion, he was awarded Danyang prefect. It can be said that he became a shepherd immediately, and he was prominent for a while, but Liu Hong still looked at the emperor eagerly. , the emperor felt helpless, it was all a disaster he found himself, he glared at the officials around him, and said angrily: "Nine chapters of arithmetic, about the matter of surplus and insufficiency, I heard that some of the officials call it nonsense!"

"I think that this method is correct for arithmetical benefits. If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense!"

Having said that, all the officials were shocked immediately, when did the emperor learn arithmetic?

He even proposed the idea of ​​surplus and insufficiency. It seems that we still underestimated this holy emperor.

Of course, there were also some who were not convinced. They got up and started to say: "A calculation is based on nothing, and something is created out of nothing. How can we talk about it as arithmetic?" The emperor, who thought he had survived the past, smiled again.

You bastard, if Mr. He was here, he would have hacked this fellow to death with a single sword! !
