Chapter 114: Density Experiments and Demon Methods
On the way out of the palace, Zhu Ying simply raised the curtains of the pannier chair high, and was not afraid of being seen by outsiders sitting in the same sedan chair as Zhang Shou. As a result, Zhang Shou was able to take a generous look at the many buildings of the imperial city in the north from the window.
Moreover, there is also Zhu Ying, the best commentator next to him, who listened to her explanations involving a lot of stories and characters, and at the same time took a rough look at the appearance of the Six Palaces Bureau and those internal officials.
In today's era, the female official system headed by the Shang Palace Bureau and the eunuch system represented by the celebrant supervisor, at least in Zhu Ying's mouth, seem to be divided into courts. In terms of numbers, the number of palace maids and female officials is absolutely superior to that of eunuchs and eunuchs. And those female officials who have reached the age released in the palace are even a good choice for the official eunuchs to continue the strings.
The reason why this is so is said to be because Taizu was disgusted with the use of eunuchs in previous dynasties, so that hundreds of people in the people mutilated themselves.
But in this way, Chu Kuan's statement that the inheritance of the torch depends on the eunuch party has to be marked with a bunch of question marks.
Zhang Shou listened to Zhu Ying's introduction, and gradually turned the topic to the ancient and modern Tongji library mentioned by the emperor before. Zhu Ying didn't care about him like Ge Yong, and immediately snorted lightly and said, "It turns out that you mean the inner library, then behind the inner library, I heard that it was moved from the south of the palace!" There are many manuscripts left by Emperor Taizu there, but they are rarely shown to people. ”
Hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhang Shou immediately raised his eyebrows: "In this way, the emperor said to Zhou Da Sicheng, the eunuch of the country, that if he pleaded, it was not that he could not let someone in to copy it, and this should just be to comfort Da Sicheng for being wronged?" ”
"Isn't it? Not to mention Zhou Da Sicheng, several scholars are rare to enter the ancient and modern Tongji library, and for this reason, the people who are the celebrant and the supervisor hate it to the teeth. When Grandpa Ruizong, there were also officials who were angry that a group of eunuchs were holding the relics of Emperor Taizu, but even Grandpa Ruizong ignored them. Actually, I'm also curious, I snuck in when I was a child, and I was sent back in a daze. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Shou already felt that the emperor had said to himself before, what kind of great achievement could be made to make people go to the ancient and modern Tongji Library, it was likely that he was just fooling himself.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt itchy in his heart, especially when he thought of the secret letter he had come into contact with before, one was the use of binary encoding, and the other was the use of shift passwords, and he couldn't help but have a lot of ideas about the things in the ancient and modern Tongji library.
Could it be that the ancient and modern Tongji library said that there were countless manuscripts of Taizu, but in fact, they were written in special languages such as English, French and even pinyin, or ...... Purely using a cipher mechanism to keep most of the people who want to understand out the door?
Having said that, although the foreign friends who invented the binary system think that the ancient Chinese gossip is the prototype of binary, from the nine chapters of arithmetic to other arithmetic ten books, none of them involve the most basic and simple binary principle of every two into one, and said that the binary password before had nothing to do with Taizu, so he didn't believe it!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a "stop, stop", and the pannier immediately stopped without warning. Zhang Shou, who was in a trance, leaned forward suddenly, and Zhu Ying, who was looking at him, was slightly stunned, and the heads of the two slammed.
The next moment, Zhang Shou covered his head and hurriedly leaned back, while Zhu Ying rubbed his head while directly probing out, and asked angrily, "Hey, what's going on?" ”
"Ouch, my eldest lady, I've finally caught up with you!"
The one who rushed over with a sweat was Chang Ning, the "little butler" who used to be by Concubine Yu's side. Probably because he was running so fast, he had to hold his knees and gasp for breath before he was able to stand up straight.
"The emperor took the Confucian scholars of the cabinet, Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Zhou Da Sicheng, the prince of Shuntianfu, and several officials to Gefu, and Ge Taishi wanted to test Dr. Zhang's method in person. Although the emperor didn't speak, Concubine Yu felt that the idea was made by Dr. Zhang, and it was presided over by Master Ge himself, and it was a pity that Dr. Zhang didn't go, so she specially ordered the little one to say goodbye......"
As soon as he said this, Zhu Ying was already shouting loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry, hurry up and go to Grandpa Ge's house!" There must be a heavy guard over there, and the queen mother's sedan chair, even if the sharp cavalry camp will definitely not dare to stop it! ”
Seeing that Zhu Ying made a decision without paying attention to herself, Chang Ning, who had just almost broken her leg, suddenly looked sad. In this palace, no matter how big or small the eunuchs are, they are not allowed to ride horses, they are not allowed to sit in sedan chairs, and they can only run for anything. Just when he secretly comforted himself that Miss Zhu had always had such a temper, he saw a golden light flying out of the window.
He subconsciously reached out and probed, and immediately felt that there was something heavy to start, and when he looked at it again, it was not a gold ingot? As soon as he looked up again, he saw a hand as white as jade retracted, but not Zhu Ying?
At the same time, he heard a gentle laugh again: "Manager Chang, thank you for this trip!" If you have any problems accounting in the future, you can come to me at any time! ”
Chang Ning saw Zhang Shou poking his head out of the other side of the car window and greeted him, thinking that the reward was also there and the face was gone, he finally felt that his trip was worth it, and he directly arched his hand with a smile to see the group leave, and then secretly sighed that he did not use the ordinary eunuch to pass the word, but personally chased all the way, and the people finally appreciated it.
As Zhu Ying said when shouting, the imperial driver and a group of ministers suddenly came to Gefu, and the neighboring streets were naturally directly sealed by the soldiers and horses of the Rui Cavalry Battalion. And relying on their sedan chair with the brand of Qingning Palace, as well as the horsemen and guards from the palace, Zhu Ying pulled Zhang Shou to shrink in the sedan chair without even showing his face, and actually came to the door of Gefu lightly and skillfully.
It wasn't until Zhu Ying was the first to get out of the pannier chair, stepped on the ladder and landed on the ground, and Xiongwei, who came forward, asked unexpectedly, "Why is the eldest lady here?" Didn't you say that the Queen Mother summoned you and Dr. Zhang at Qingning Palace? ”
"It ended early, I heard that the emperor brought a lot of people to Gefu to see if the plaque of Jiuzhangtang was hollow, and immediately brought Ah Shou here!"
While Zhu Ying and Xiongwei were talking, Zhang Shou had already gotten off the ladder. When he was down-to-earth, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the person who was reaching out to hold him, and when he looked sideways, he realized that it was Ah Liu. Thinking that he had entered the palace without stopping at Bei'anmen before, he was even a little unsure whether Ah Liu had also followed him on a half-day tour of the palace.
But at this time, he couldn't care about whether Ah Liu had sneaked into the palace or not, because Zhu Ying had obviously persuaded Xiongwei and was beckoning him to hurry in. So, without saying a word, he dragged Ah Liu with his backhand and quickly caught up with Zhu Ying.
Rather than let this kid not know where to slip away if he is not paying attention, it is better for him to grab people first!
Although the Rui Cavalry Battalion is mostly stationed on the fence and entrances and exits, there are not many personnel, especially when they see Xiongwei personally bringing people in, and everyone has not left their posts to inquire. When Zhang Shou passed by Ge's study and came to an inconspicuous small door at the wall, he heard Ge Yong's familiar voice coming from inside.
"Okay, okay, okay, quick, scoop it up, move lightly, and try to splash as little water as possible!"
Already?
Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying exchanged glances. But immediately after, Xiongwei took the lead in making a heavy report, and then took a step forward and came to the door: "Your Majesty, Dr. Zhang and the Duke of Zhao Guo's Mansion ......"
Before he finished his announcement, the emperor's laughter came from inside: "Needless to say, it must be Yingying who has thousands of miles of ears and chases the wind!" When I arrived, they came on the back, and I was counting on the Queen Mother to stumble on them, but now it seems that there is no hope! Since you're here to see the excitement, let's all come in. The teacher is experimenting with the gold of Neku and Tobe first! ”
As soon as he heard that it was the gold that was tested first, Zhang Shou suddenly took a light breath, thinking that he had really come to this point.
You know, whether it is gold or silver in ancient times, it is impossible to completely remove impurities, and there are still people who are greedy for heavy profits and quietly mix other metals into it, so to speak, counterfeiting is often a blatant secret. Now this fig leaf is about to be unveiled in front of the emperor and a group of bigwigs, and I don't know how many people will be unlucky.
When he entered, he saw a small boxy wooden basin made in front of him, and an ingot of gold was carefully scooped up by two servants with a small net, and the remaining drops of water were falling into the basin little by little, until at last there was almost no dripping, and no one went to mark the wall of the basin. Soon, he heard a voice.
"Your Majesty, Master Ge, my lords, the same weight is one catty and two taels with a pin, this ingot of gold has less drainage than the previous ingot, and the previous nicks can be seen under the water surface, and the visual inspection of the gap is about two cents,"
The emperor himself walked up with a large number of people to watch, and in an instant, a small wooden basin was surrounded by water. Just when Zhang Shou felt that the emperor would be angry because of the difference in the purity of the gold in the inner treasury and the household, he didn't want the emperor in it to say indifferently: "Okay, the gold has been tried, and next, throw the silver in." There are also copper paperweights and copper blocks, just like that! ”
Next, Zhang Shou saw various gadgets of the same material, the same weight but different shapes being thrown into a wooden basin filled with water, and then obtained various results.
There was silver of roughly the same purity, copper paperweights that proved to be hollow, and gold ornaments that proved to be fakes......
When the many gadgets that were used as experimental objects were almost tried, the Taizu inscription plaque was finally hoisted smoothly and smoothly above an extra-large solid wood water tank in the backyard of Gefu with the help of various simple pulleys. Before that, the amount of water discharged from those scraps had left a stark mark on the edge of the pool.
As the plaque was about to enter the water, Zhang Shou saw that many people around him were watching intently, and he couldn't help but be slightly distracted by the results that were about to be revealed. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud voice.
"Your Majesty, once this kind of demon law spreads, the civil officialdom will be suspicious of each other, and there will be no trust at all, please think twice, and immediately expel Zhang Shou, who has no virtue and talent, and who is grandiose and favored from the country, and never desecrate the Taizu imperial pen again!"
Sorcery? Seeing clearly that it was a white-haired old man kneeling down in pain, Zhang Shou almost wanted to laugh three times.
What you don't understand is demon law? There are so many demons in the sky!
Throw you to the afterlife, you will either point to anything and call it a monster, or you will kneel on the ground and worship the gods until your head is broken!
can't accept new things, and there is only one way to go!
