The turmoil in Wenhua Palace on the first day of October spread throughout the city at the fastest speed. In particular, in the afternoon of that day, two teams of brightly-armored soldiers from the Ruiqi Battalion hurriedly escorted two carriages out of the palace and out of the city. Soon, rumors spread that it was the emperor who ordered people to escort the eldest and second princes out of the capital, which caused even more confusion among officials and the public.
Of course, there are people who sympathize with the brothers. After all, just a year ago, they were the queen's legitimate sons with the best chance of entering the East Palace. But now the queen has been deposed, and the brothers are more unlucky than the other.
Unfortunately, the eldest and second princes, one had been hypocritical for so many years, but his true nature was revealed in Cangzhou and caused a huge disaster; the other had been absurd since childhood, and not long ago he caused the Kunning Palace poisoning incident, which eventually led to the dethronement of the queen. Now the two brothers started trouble at the same time and place, but they both hit a wall. What else can others say
To put it more seriously, the second prince slandered not only Zhang Shou's mother, but also accused his own father of being so foolish that he couldn't even tell his own sons and daughters apart. As for the eldest prince, it goes without saying that he slandered his teacher and spied on the emperor. If he didn't spy on him, how would you, a person imprisoned in the Zongzheng Temple, know where Zhang Shou's accessories came from
Therefore, even though the two princes were suddenly driven out of the capital in a miserable manner, which was a huge event, everyone just shook their heads and sighed for a while, and their attention was focused on the other two things.
The first one was of course the confusing backgrounds of Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping, and of course Zhang Shou's. However, Zhang Shou, who was already declared by the emperor to be the posthumous son of an ordinary scholar, was certainly not as eye-catching as the unclear backgrounds of these two girls who could be called the darlings of heaven.
As for the second point, the popular "Ge's New Compilation of Mathematics" is not... or not entirely the work of Ge Yong, but Ge Yong and Zhang Shou, who claimed to have reviewed Chinese and foreign mathematical classics together and then reorganized and compiled them. And if what Ge Yong frankly admitted is true, it is even more likely that Zhang Shou completed it independently!
In contrast, the boat that Zhang Shou demonstrated in public at the Wenhua Hall, which could move forward automatically, was only circulated in a small circle among those who were interested. Even the confrontation between Confucius and Zhang Shou at the Wenhua Hall became insignificant and not worth mentioning in this series of events.
However, Confucius himself did not think that Zhang Shou's lecture and demonstration were insignificant and not worth mentioning. After the lecture, he left Wenyuan Pavilion on the pretext of feeling unwell and went home. When he arrived at the mansion, this old man, who was always shrewd, locked himself in the study, smashed the pen holder, and then sent his trusted servants out to deliver the letter.
In the past, Prime Minister Jiang Ge Lao was conservative, but he was quite open-minded and won over a large number of new talents who were once dissatisfied with Jiang Ge Lao. However, when he came to power, he also did not want too many unstable factors to jump out. It was true that he supported the Northern Expedition, but now the Northern Tartars had been completely defeated and frightened. Why not rest and recuperate at this time
Are we going to bother with navigation technology just because of Zhang Shou's weird display? It's ridiculous! Those foreign countries, with thousands of years of Chinese poetry, books and etiquette, can be compared with the profound heritage accumulated by the great China
