This is also... calculated?
Zhou Yu's face turned red when Liu Xie exposed his attempt to "steal books". Although stealing books...can't be considered stealing, how can it be considered stealing when it comes to scholars? But Zhou Yu is so thin-skinned that he still can’t stand it.
At the same time, he was convinced by Liu Xie's calculation!
After he arrived in Luoyang, he didn't tell anyone that he was going to "steal the Book of Heaven". It was probably impossible for Jiang Qian and his uncle Zhou Zhong to tell anyone. As for the Lujiang Zhou clan who followed the three of them north, they were all transferred directly from Shu County. There should be no way of knowing that "stealing the Book of Heaven" was one of their missions. Even if they knew, they wouldn't dare to say anything!
How did the little emperor know? It must have been calculated with just a few fingers?
It seems that this gentleman...it's not good for him to be too understanding!
"Tianjia," Zhou Yu had no choice but to bow to Liu Xie with a blushing face, "I should never accept Yuan Gongli's order to steal books..."
Seeing that Zhou Yu had admitted his mistake, Liu Xie naturally stopped embarrassing him and hurriedly smiled and said: "Gong Jin, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to blame you. I mentioned this just because I was worried that you and Ziyi wouldn't be able to steal the Book of Heaven." , Yuan Jiuyi is embarrassing your family. So I asked A Liang to prepare a volume of heavenly book. You can copy a copy and bring it to Jiang Ziyi, and ask him to take it back for entrustment. "
This... Zhou Yu was moved!
This emperor really regards him as one of his own! So considerate...it seems to be a little nicer to him than Sun Bofu!
"Tianjia, how virtuous and capable I am, how could I be so wrongly loved by Tianjia..." Zhou Yu shed tears as he spoke with gratitude.
"Why is it a wrong love?" Liu Xie said with a smile, "I think Gong Jin has the appearance of a general. Like A Liang, he will definitely be a great contributor to the rise of our Han Dynasty in the future. Both of them have the future of becoming a duke and granting the title of Marquis of ten thousand households. I How can you not love Er and A Liang?"
It turns out that I am a hero of the Sanxing Han Dynasty, and I can still become a Duke and a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households! Zhou Yu thought to himself: This is fate, I have to accept it!
"Heaven's great love means that Yu should go through fire and water without hesitation!" Zhou Yu once again expressed his loyalty - "loyalty" has increased a lot, but it has not yet reached the full limit.
But it doesn't matter, Liu Xie still has "treasures" to give to Zhou Yu.
"Ah Liang, quickly bring the Book of Heaven to Gong Jin!"
Can the effect of "Book of Heaven" in increasing loyalty be bad?
"only!"
Zhuge Liang immediately stood up, took a bamboo slip from his desk, and handed it to Zhou Yu with both hands.
"Here, is this the Book of Heaven?" When Zhou Yu took the Book of Heaven, his hands were shaking with excitement, but then he thought about it and said, "Tianjia, do you really want to give the Book of Heaven to Yuan Gongli?"
Liu Xie smiled and said: "Gong Jin, you will know when you see it... open it and take a look!"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was not polite and immediately opened the "Book of Heaven". This is a "heavenly book" that talks about the method of linear equations of one variable among the "mathematical laws"... Moreover, it also uses Arabic numerals and algebraic symbols. Although some explanations were given in the form of "Zhuge asked" and "The Emperor answered", Zhou Yu was still confused. It's not that he doesn't have the guts to study science, but this "Book of Heaven" does not explain Arabic numerals and algebraic symbols, which is not easy to understand.
"Gong Jin, can't you understand?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.
Zhou Yu shook his head: "Tianjia, are the symbols on this a charm?"
"No," Liu Xie said, "this volume of heavenly book is part of the three-volume heavenly book about the algorithmic path... Because the front and back parts are missing, it is difficult to understand."
I see!
Zhou Yu was a little disappointed. He had the Book of Heaven in his hand but couldn't read it. It was really uncomfortable.
Of course, Liu Xie could "calculate" Zhou Yu's thoughts and said to him with a smile: "Gong Jin, you and A Liang are my confidants. Of course, you can learn the entire heavenly book... But this entire book The copy of the Heavenly Book cannot be given to Yuan Gongli now. Just give him the middle volume and let him study on his own first! Maybe if he learns a little bit, he will realize that arrogantly claiming to be emperor is a dead end!"
Zhou Yu just smiled bitterly: "Tianjia...you don't need to understand the Book of Heaven for this matter, everyone knows it!"
Liu Xie could only smile bitterly and nod: "I can't even listen to whoever Yuan Jiujiu says... But with this book, can Jiang Ziyi explain to Yuan Jiuyi?"
"Of course you can!" Zhou Yu said with a smile, "The words in this heavenly book are quite mysterious, and they contain great truths! I will edit another book and use what A Liang just did..."
"That's called the deflagration technique," Liu Xieyao said, "it comes from the 'method of chemistry' in the three volumes of the Book of Heaven... Gong Jin, you can tell Yuan Gulu in a letter about A Liang's use of the deflagration technique. But let’s not tell Yuan Gongli about the specific method of execution.”
"Of course I understand." Zhou Yu replied.
Liu Xie smiled and nodded, "Okay, Gong Jin, then you can make a copy from A Liang and take it back to Jiang Ziyi!"
...
Jiang Gan now lives in the original Situ Mansion - the three princes and guards of the imperial court, as well as their subordinate officials, all live there. Of course there is enough space. Each of the Three Dukes of the Eastern Han Dynasty had more than ten or twenty subordinates, and all the subordinates had to live in the Three Dukes' Mansion with their families. Therefore, Situ Mansion is very large and has many houses, but it is a bit rundown.
There are not many people left in the Weiwei Mansion now, and it is enough to occupy a separate courtyard in the Situ Mansion. When Zhou Yu came back excitedly with the "Book of Heaven" under his arm, Zhou Zhongzheng and Jiang Gan were playing Go while discussing how to explain the progress of the "Stealing Book" to Yuan Shu... They had to find a reason to excuse themselves!
But what reason is good? Yuan Shu must have eyes and ears in Luoyang, and he would definitely know that Zhou Yu was appreciated by the emperor. So if Zhou Yu never achieves any results, can Yuan Shu agree?
When the two of them were in trouble, they saw Zhou Yu walking in with a roll of bamboo slips under his arm and a little sneaky. After entering the house, he even closed the door.
Jiang Gan looked at Zhou Yu's behavior and felt that something was wrong. Looking at the bamboo slips Zhou Yu was holding, he couldn't help but ask: "Gong Jin, what you are carrying is..."
"This is the Book of Heaven..." Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said.
"Book of Heaven?" Zhou Zhong's eyes widened. How could a book thief really come from the Lujiang Zhou family, the second and third Duke of Lujiang?
Jiang Gan was also a little surprised. He looked at Zhou Yu and asked again: "Gong Jin, did you really steal the book?"
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes at Jiang Gan: "Ziyi! How can you talk? How can this be stealing? This is... copying!"
"copy?"
"Copying books is not stealing books..." Zhou Yu said, "The original copy of the Heavenly Book is still kept by the Emperor! I just secretly copied one volume while no one was around!"
"That's right, copying a book is not considered stealing!" Zhou Zhong also quickly covered for his nephew.
Jiang Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands to Zhou Yu and said: "Gong Jin, I misunderstood, offended, offended... Can you show me the book today?"
"Of course." Zhou Yu didn't hide it and handed the Book of Heaven to Jiang Qian generously.
Jiang Qian quickly took the Book of Heaven, opened it, and was dumbfounded.
Can not Understand it!
This is all junior high school mathematics knowledge. Jiang Gan has never been to elementary school. How can he understand it when he suddenly gets it in his hand?
"Why can't you understand this?"
"It's okay if you don't understand!" Zhou Yu said, "This is a heavenly book... Of course it's not something that mortals like us can understand at a glance."
"Is this really a book from heaven?" Jiang Qian still didn't believe it.
"It can't be wrong!" Zhou Yu said, "I copied it in the thatched cottage of Zhuge Liang, the emperor's confidant... Zhuge Liang was practicing the explosive technique at that time!"
Zhou Zhong was stunned: "Zhuge Liang? Is he Zhuge Yuzhang's nephew?"
"Yes, yes, that's him!" Zhou Yu said with a smile, "He is my nephew's friend now."
Jiang Ganze asked: "What is the deflagration technique?"
"It just... exploded into a big fireball!" Zhou Yu gestured and said, "It must be some kind of powerful spell!"
"Is there any deflagration technique in this book?" Jiang Gan asked again.
"No." Zhou Yu shook his head, "This is an algorithm book."
"Algorithm?" Jiang Qian nodded, seeming to understand a little bit, "Yes, there are three volumes of the Book of Heaven."
"It's three volumes, not three volumes," Zhou Yu said. "I heard that each volume has many volumes, and this is just one of them."
"Then all the heavenly books put together..."
"I'm afraid it weighs several hundred kilograms," Zhou Yu said. "I have to slowly find an opportunity to copy it one roll at a time! Ziyi, please take this roll back to Shouchun first and present it to Mr. Yuan!"
Jiang Gan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, this volume is enough for the assignment."
"I will edit another copy of the book," Zhou Yu said, "take it back with you and give it to Mr. Yuan. After meeting Mr. Yuan, I will trouble you to visit Dongcheng County."
"Going to Dongcheng County?" Jiang Gan asked, "Are you looking for Lu Zijing?"
"Yes, I owe him three thousand dendrobium rice, and I must pay it back." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "Finally, you can make another trip to Jiangdong for me. I have a secret letter to give to Sun Bofu!"
...
Cao Cao was meeting with Chen Deng, who looked sick at this time.
He and Wei Yue were ordered by Lu Bu to come to Luoyang to inquire about the true situation of the court and to seek officials. If Liu Xie had followed Cao Cao to Xu County, Chen Deng would not have entered the court so quickly. But now the situation has changed. Liu Xie "succeeds in his begging and returns his wealth" and has considerable autonomy. Although Cao Cao obtained the official position of general and had the power to assist the government, he was only an assistant, not a regent.
From the perspective of Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others, it was difficult for them to reach an agreement with Cao Cao, but they had a way to obtain justice from the emperor.
Of course, Cao Cao still has to pass this level! So the one sent by Lu Bu was Chen Deng of the Xiapi Chen family, the number one noble clan in Xuzhou!
In the General's Mansion, Cao Cao was sitting opposite Chen Deng, who had come from afar. He looked at Chen Deng's face and sighed softly: "Yuanlong, the situation in Xuzhou has not been good in the past two years, right?"
Chen Deng's answer was a sigh.
He is the grand-nephew of Taiwei Chen Qiu. Like Cao Cao, he has a family background of one generation and three princes. He and Cao Cao are considered young masters in the same circle and have known each other for a long time. And his father Chen Gui once served as Prime Minister Pei, the parent official of Cao Cao's hometown. Can the relationship between the Chen family and the Cao family be so bad? Therefore, Chen Gui and Chen Deng did not want to go against Cao Cao.
But after all, the Chen family in Xiapi is the leader of the gentry in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao does nothing in Xuzhou!
Tao Qian's Danyang people have offended you, Cao Cao, so you go to Danyang to take revenge! How could you kill Xuzhou people to vent your anger? And they killed so many people that most of the Xuzhou nobles hated Cao Cao... If Chen Deng openly surrendered to Cao Cao, he would be a "Xu traitor"!
Seeing Chen Deng sighing, Cao Cao also knew the reason, so he could only sigh and was speechless.
what to do? They have all been slaughtered... If they want to be resurrected, Cao Cao will not do it! The little emperor in the Luoyi Palace next door can bring the dead back to life, but he can only resurrect fresh dead people.
