"Master, master, there is still something that the students don't understand..." Seeing Master Wu leave with a pale face and panic, Li Xuan hurriedly chased after him, "Master, don't leave, today's homework is not finished yet! "
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, the old man's heart skipped a beat. His old arms and legs, which had always been inflexible, burst out with infinite potential, but in an instant, Li Xuan couldn't see the figure of Mr. Wu.
"Hehe, Li Yi is right. People have infinite potential." His Royal Highness stood where he was, murmured thinking of Mr. Wu's windy figure just now.
"Tomorrow, it's Master Chen's turn, right?"
…
…
Today, the servants in the palace saw a scene that shocked them to the core.
Mrs. Wu, who was over sixty years old, actually ran quickly in the palace, heading straight for the prince's study, several young and strong servants couldn't catch up.
A while later, Master Wu was stopped by an old servant at the door of King Ning's study.
"Master, why are you in such a hurry?" the old servant asked with a puzzled expression.
"I, I want to see the prince." Master Wu said out of breath.
After running for so long, I am really out of breath now.
The old servant saw that Mr. Wu was anxious and in a hurry, fearing that there was something important to do, he said: "Master, wait here for a while, I will report to the prince."
Master Wu nodded when he heard the words, he could just take advantage of this free time to catch his breath.
Not long after, the old servant came out of the study and said, "Master, the prince is here to invite you."
Although Master Wu was much older than King Ning, he was respectful and orderly. He straightened his clothes and walked in without haste.
Beside the desk on the right side of the study, King Ning put down the books in his hand, stood up, and asked with a smile: "What is the matter with Master Wu looking for this king? Could it be that Xuan'er was stubborn and offended Master?"
"That's not the case, the lord misunderstood." Master Wu waved his hands again and again, and said: "His Royal Highness is talented, and the old man has nothing to teach him. This time, I specially asked the lord to resign."
"Please resign?" King Ning frowned, and asked, "Master, why did you say this? If Xuan'er is stubborn and offends Master, please don't take offense. This king will reprimand him. It's just a matter of resigning. I'll bring it up again."
Although this Master Wu has resigned and retired, his knowledge is not inferior to those great scholars in the court. King Ning asked him to go out to teach Li Xuan, which is a great affirmation of his ability.
He is very knowledgeable and senior, so how could he have nothing to teach
This is no longer self-effacing, but ironic.
Could it be that Xuan'er really offended Master Wu
Master Wu smiled wryly and said: "My lord really misunderstood. The son is talented and intelligent, which is really rare in this world. It is my blessing to be appreciated by my lord and teach my son. It's just that I am old and I am really powerless. Please resign." I hope the prince agrees."
What Master Wu said is half true and half false. It is true to ask for resignation, but it is false to be powerless.
The real reason for his leaving was just to keep the evening festival. If he heard the prince say something shocking again, he might not close his eyes when he drove west soon.
What His Royal Highness said had a great impact on him. It would be fine if it was just nonsense. He was confident that he could persuade Shizi to the right path, but the frightening thing was that after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Shizi said made sense—this It was really embarrassing.
It took him a lifetime to finally build up his understanding of this world, but he was on the verge of collapse because of a few words from His Royal Highness, and he dared not teach him anymore, otherwise, he might really die in the future.
King Ning stared at Master Wu with a pair of tiger eyes, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction or irony on his face.
Could it be that what he said just now came from the heart
Master Wu is determined, and he has no intention of leaving. No matter how he tries to persuade him to stay, it will be of no avail. King Ning finally agreed.
He was full of doubts at the moment, and after Master Wu left, he said to the door: "Go and find Xuan'er!"
"I'm going right now, old slave." The old servant outside the door responded and left in a hurry.
Not long after, Li Xuan knocked on the door of the study, walked in, and asked, "What does Father want from me?"
King Ning glanced at him indifferently, "What did you do to Master Wu? He came to ask me to resign just now, and he has already left the palace."
"Ah, Master Wu resigned?" Li Xuan was shocked and delighted, "This is really..."
Looking up and seeing his father looking at him, he changed his voice, "This is really... regrettable, Mr. Wu is very knowledgeable, Xuan'er admires him, but he didn't expect him to care so much about right and wrong, so he resigned because of shame, I knew, I won't point out his mistakes to his face."
King Ning raised his eyebrows, and having been together day and night for nearly twenty years, how could he not know how much Li Xuan was worth, pointed out Master Wu's mistakes, made him ashamed to resign, and he may not have the ability in decades.
I didn't want to ask this question any more, so I waved my hand and said, "Go ahead, Master Wu has left. Masters Chen and Zhao taught you to ask for advice with an open mind, and you must stop messing around like this."
"The child understands!"
Li Xuan agreed, exited the study, looked at the old servant and asked, "Master Wu really left?"
The old servant nodded. Just now, Master Wu and the prince were talking in the room, and they didn't deliberately lower their voices. He heard everything at the door.
"Go to the cashier to get a hundred taels of silver, and send it to Master Wu." Li Xuan ordered casually, and walked forward at a pace.
Although he said that he was kind enough to help Master Wu understand the world more clearly, he didn't take into account that the old man is not so easy to accept at his age, and he should use a more gentle method.
Otherwise, Master Wu would not have resigned and left the palace. He is knowledgeable and knows everything about astronomy and geography. It is a pity to leave just like that...
Looking at the back of Li Xuan leaving leisurely, the old servant sighed. Although the palace is not short of money, it can't stand His Royal Highness spending so much every time...
…
…
"Did Your Highness solve the problem two days ago?" the square-faced, gray-haired old man asked, looking at Li Xuan with his hands behind his back.
"It has been solved." Li Xuan nodded and said.
"I don't know how His Highness will solve it?" the old man asked again.
He was just asking casually. It takes some time to try this question, but he can always try it out, but so far there is no other solution, and he does not have any hope for His Royal Highness.
"One is the leg-lifting method, one is the two-element two, two-element one...one-element quadratic equation method!" Li Xuan said with a smile.
The expression on the old man's face froze for a moment, "What kind of legs are you lifting, how far are you going..."
Li Xuan took the pen and paper from the side and began to write, "The leg raising method is like this..."
An hour later, the paper had been densely written by him, and he turned to look at the old man and asked, "Master Chen, I wonder if these two solutions are right?"
Master Chen nodded mechanically. Until now, he was still dazed by the "Arabic numerals", "counting methods", "equations" and "unknown numbers" introduced by Li Xuan just now, and he couldn't tell right from wrong.
However, although he has never seen these things, the answer is correct, and there must be no mistakes in the process.
However, where did His Highness Shi Zi learn about these strange symbols and methods
He has studied the way of arithmetic all his life, and he has never heard of such a wonderful method.
"The students still have a few questions, I hope the master can clarify."
For some reason, when Master Chen saw His Royal Highness who was looking at him with a smile on his face, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.
"Today there is one rooster, worth five coins, one hen mother, worth three coins, and three chicken chicks, worth one coin. Today I buy a hundred chickens for free money, ask the rooster, the hen mother, and the chicks how much?"
"The wall is five feet thick. Two rats cross each other. The rats are one foot a day, and the mice are one foot a day. The rats double each day, and the mice half a day. When will we meet again, and how much will each wear?"
…
…
Li Xuanyun spoke calmly, throwing out all the problems that he had learned from Li Yi yesterday.
Master Chen was stunned, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Cough, I'm not feeling well today, and my homework will be postponed for the time being. Your Highness can make arrangements." After a while, Master Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, left these words, got up and left in a hurry.
The boredom that had been accumulated for many days was swept away, Li Xuan's face was radiant, he was walking like a dragon and a tiger, full of vigor, and the maids of the palace who met him along the way avoided one after another.
What happened to His Royal Highness today, why is he smiling so, so indescribably...
