"What, Master Chen is also resigning?"
In the study, King Ning frowned slightly, looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, and repeated what he said just now.
"His Royal Highness, there is an expert behind him. In terms of arithmetic, the old man can no longer teach him anything." Sitting on the chair, the old man cupped his hands and said.
In the morning, he communicated with His Royal Highness, pretending to be unwell, and claiming that his homework was postponed. In fact, after returning home, he stayed up all night and carefully sorted out what the prince said.
The Arabic numerals and addition and subtraction symbols are easy to write, simple and easy to use. Using them for counting or calculation is much more convenient than the current general methods. If it can be implemented, it must be possible to make a lot of progress in mathematics.
As for the equation, the level of design is even more mysterious. Master Chen has been studying arithmetic for decades, so he can naturally see the extraordinary in it. What he learned from Shizi is probably only the tip of the iceberg.
As for the question that Shizi asked him for advice at the end, he thought hard all night, but he couldn't solve even one of them, or tried to find the answer, but there was no convincing method.
Of course he wouldn't think that His Royal Highness suddenly became enlightened and just happened to show an astonishing talent in arithmetic, even he, an old master who has been studying this field for decades, would be ashamed of it.
The only thing that can be explained is that His Royal Highness has an expert behind him. As for how tall this expert is, at least it is to the extent that he needs to look up to him.
Thinking about Master Wu's hasty resignation two days ago, without even saying hello to them, this Master Chen was curious for two days, and probably understood the reason for Master Wu's resignation.
I'm afraid Master Wu also encountered the same thing as himself.
With such an expert behind Shizi, it is better for him to resign early.
"An expert?"
When King Ning heard the words, a little astonishment appeared on his face.
These days, the son has been in the palace, accepting the teachings of the three masters, besides them, who else is superior
"Could it be Master Zhao?"
Just when this idea appeared in his mind, someone from outside the door came to report that Mr. Zhao begged to see him.
King Ning froze for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
He hasn't seen Mr. Zhao yet, but he almost understands what Mr. Zhao wants to say.
"The old man came here specially to ask the prince to resign."
Mr. Zhao didn't sit down, and after looking at Mrs. Chen, he explained the purpose of coming straight to the point.
The two masters, Wu and Chen, both resigned for some unknown reason, and only Master Zhao was left alone. Naturally, he felt uneasy. After the two left, it would be his turn next. Instead of being forced to , it's better to leave early, at least you can save some face.
The two masters were determined to leave, but King Ning put down a few words to no avail, so he extinguished his thoughts, and after sending his servants to prepare a generous gift for the two of them, he stopped talking.
Asking these masters to teach the son, I just want him to sharpen his temper, get rid of his previous lazy and casual habits, and it is best to become calm and diligent...
However, it now appears that he overestimated the abilities of these masters.
"Anathematics is widely used. Astronomy, geography, construction, taxation, food and supplies during battles are all inseparable from arithmetic. If His Royal Highness's new counting method can be implemented, it will be a blessing for Jing Guo …”
Before Master Chen left, he said something to King Ning with a serious face. He highly praised the new counting method of His Royal Highness, and his words were sincere and sincere. If it wasn't for the difference in status and age, he might turn his head It is also possible to learn more advanced mathematics under the door.
Although the imperial examination does not examine mathematics, there is still a subject of mathematics in the Imperial College, and every few years, some talents with talents in this field will be recruited.
Master Chen has studied mathematics intensively all his life, so he naturally knows the role of mathematics, and its coverage is so wide that others can't even imagine it.
It's a pity that very few people can realize this point. Mathematics has never been valued by the court, and it is naturally more difficult to promote it.
And right now, it is undoubtedly a rare opportunity to develop mathematics.
After the two left, a charming woman came out from behind the screen in the study, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter with the two masters, how can there be any expert behind Xuan'er?"
Behind the screen just now, she was also confused.
The departure of Mrs. Wu yesterday had already taken her by surprise. She said that there was nothing she could teach Xuan'er. What Mrs. Chen said just now seemed to mean the same thing...
"Hmph, there is no expert, but there is one strange person." King Ning said with a cold snort.
"What kind of strange person?" The doubts on Princess Ning's face deepened, she glanced at King Ning, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it, why are you showing off in front of this concubine?"
"Madam, do you remember Li Yi?" King Ning turned to look at her and asked.
"Of course I remember." Wang Hao said with a blank look at him.
She was very impressed with the young man who cured her depression, invented ruyi dew and perfume, and rescued Sheng Jia in the palace.
"Could it be him?" Afterwards, a look of astonishment appeared on her face, and she said, "What the lord means is that the master who makes the two wives feel ashamed is that Li Yi?"
"Who else but him?" King Ning snorted again, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Forget it, forget it, since Xuan'er doesn't like it, let him go." The princess waved her hand and said: "Because of that marriage, Xuan'er has been depressed for a long time, let him decide these matters."
"Marriage is a matter of parents' orders. What's more, marrying the Wang family is the emperor's brother..." King Ning stopped talking when he said this.
"I can only wrong Xuan'er." Wang Hao said with a sigh.
"There is no grievance." Ning Wang said: "In terms of family background, talent and appearance, Wang's pearl is not good enough for him. He will be at the age of weak crown next year, and the marriage cannot be delayed any longer."
There was a hint of pity in Wang Hao's eyes, she didn't want to continue this topic, and said instead: "Then Li Yi is about the same age as Xuan'er, but has many abilities, all of which are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Someone who knows?"
Jingguo's number one talented scholar, poet and painter, wishful dew, perfume, spirits, and the piece of soap that Xuan'er gave her were also made by him.
Of course, the miraculous medical skills, so that she and His Majesty both accepted his kindness. In terms of knowledge, Xuan'er only met him once, and made two knowledgeable masters feel ashamed and resigned. It is really unbelievable that it is related to young people who are not as weak as the crown.
"I'm afraid only God knows whether there are people who are born with knowledge in this world." King Ning said lightly: "However, his identity is much more interesting than I imagined."
When the princess heard this, she felt a little curious, "Hasn't the prince already investigated his identity? Could it be that there are other secrets in it?"
King Ning nodded. Since he got involved with the emperor, some people need to be more careful. Naturally, they can no longer treat them like before. They sent people to conduct a more detailed investigation. This time, they discovered some interesting things by accident. s things.
However, outsiders had no chance to hear the conversation between the two in the study.
