Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 355 Innovation Chapter Emperor's Teacher ([-])

"Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, where is he?" Qin Shihuang raised his head and shouted.

Zhao Gao was a cautious man, he never made a mistake, he was always by Qin Shihuang's side, and he was there whenever he was called. This time, Qin Shihuang yelled for a long time, but he didn't see anyone. Qin Shihuang was also surprised. He stood up and came to the door. Zhao Gao was panting heavily and hurried over.

Qin Shihuang's face darkened, and he shouted: "Zhao Gao, where have you been? I have been calling for a long time, but there is no one."

Zhao Gao knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, I have neglected my duty, my servant has neglected my duty, and I deserve death. Please punish my servant for his crime."

A person like Zhao Gao who rarely made mistakes made such an obvious mistake must have encountered something very strange. Qin Shihuang waved and said, "Get up. Where have you been?"

Zhao Gao thanked him, stood up, and said: "Your Majesty, the slave didn't go anywhere, and stayed at home."

Qin Shihuang put on a straight face, and shouted: "You forget me when you stay at home, isn't your family more important than me?"

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, no. This servant is listening to his adopted son, Zhao Cheng, telling stories. Once he is fascinated, he forgets it. It will be too late when this servant remembers that he should serve the Emperor."

This is a serious crime. Qin Shihuang should be furious. Zhao Gao was so frightened that he didn't dare to vent his anger. Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang's performance surprised him. Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Gao for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, your knowledge It is not the best in Daqin, but it is also very good. Zhao Cheng’s story can fascinate you like this. This story is not simple, so tell me. I am tired and just want to relieve my boredom. Tell me.”

Zhao Gao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this story is just relayed by Zhao Cheng, but it is actually Mr. Zhou's story."

"Mr. Zhou's story?" Qin Shihuang was very strange, and said: "Mr. Zhou is dedicated to educating people. What is his story that is so attractive?"

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the knowledge taught by Mr. Zhou is different. It is simple, clear, easy to remember and easy to use. It is very fresh to listen to. When Zhao Cheng relayed it, the servants were fascinated by it and forgot the time." .”

"Don't be nervous, I haven't planned to inquire about your crime yet." Qin Shihuang said in relief, "Say it quickly, what are you doing in a daze?"

Zhao Gao responded, "Mr. Zhou's math skills are completely different from what we learn. What he teaches is very interesting. For example, he taught 3+2-5=0, and multiplication formulas. One times one gets one, two times two Four, very regular and easy to remember."

The multiplication tables used in modern times are much simpler and easier to remember than the ancient Chinese numerology. Zhao Gao is proficient in numerology, but he never thought that there is such a simple formula table. It is normal for him to forget it after hearing it. up.

Qin Shihuang pondered for a while, nodded and said: "It's very convenient, easy to remember and easy to use, every word is perfect."

Zhao Gao became interested, and continued: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhou taught is amazing, and you can even create something out of nothing."

"Create something out of nothing? Doesn't that make you a god?" Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up, and he said, "I must ask Mr. Zhou for advice on the art of immortality."

Zhao Gao patted himself on the mouth and explained: "The emperor misunderstood, Mr. Zhou is not a god's skill, but a human skill. It is amazing that eggs can be boiled in lime."

As soon as quicklime touches water, it will turn into mature lime, releasing a lot of chemical heat energy, which can definitely cook eggs. Friends who study chemistry know this is a common sense, but this is in the Qin Dynasty. It is really amazing to the ancients. However, only gods have this "immortal technique", and Zhao Gao, a top-notch scholar at the time, would not be amazed.

"It's really amazing!" Qin Shihuang also praised him endlessly, and said: "I heard that your adopted son Zhao Cheng is ignorant. He only knows how to fight chickens and run dogs all day long, relying on your power to run amok outside. Is there such a thing?" ?” His face sank, and he shouted sharply.

Zhao Gao groaned, knelt down, kowtowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, this slave is not disciplined well, he deserves death, he deserves death!" Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was really frightened.

"It's the father's fault if you don't teach the son! Although Zhao Cheng is not your own son, he is your adopted son. This is all caused by you, and you will be fined for one year of salary." Qin Shihuang paced and said, "I have repeatedly warned you close officials. Be good to your own family, don’t do things that harm the people, you’d better turn a blind eye to it, I have to find a ruthless person to rule you. Tell me, who is worthy of this matter?”

Qin Shihuang was unpredictable, Zhao Gao was so frightened that his heart was broken, he dared to talk nonsense, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know, I really don't know."

"I see, you are the most suitable." Qin Shihuang said with a straight face: "Aren't you good-looking and popular everywhere, I will entrust you with the job of offending people, and you will give me the noble relatives in Xianyang. The younger brother has managed it. I still want to tell you, don’t try to play tricks, I want to ask Mr. Zhou to check, it’s not like you don’t know Mr. Zhou’s ability, if you dare to bend the law for your own sake, I will find it out for you.”

There are too many high-ranking officials in Xianyang City, and many of their children are under-disciplined. Asking Zhao Gao to rectify them will not offend all the officials. This is a ruthless move. Zhao Gao knows he can't accept it, but he dare not refuse to accept it. , I had to say: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the slaves will definitely handle it well."

Qin Shihuang started to walk around Zhao Gao, every step seemed to be on Zhao Gao's heart, trembling with fright, Qin Shihuang finally stopped and said: "I heard that your adopted son Zhao Cheng has been doing well recently, Don't do anything wrong anymore, and run to Mr. Zhou's academy whenever you have free time, isn't that right?"

Even knowing this, you don't need to think about it to know that Zhao Gao's every move is under Qin Shihuang's control. Zhao Gao secretly rejoiced that he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, and kowtowed: "The emperor is holy! Zhao Cheng has gone to Mr. Zhou's school since then. After the museum, I devoted myself to learning and no longer obsessed with cockfighting and running dogs. Mr. Zhou is really the lucky star of the slaves. If Mr. Zhou didn't control this unfilial son, I don't know what troubles would be caused to the slaves. "

"It's good that you know." Qin Shihuang said: "Get up and follow me."

Zhao Gao responded and got up, afraid to ask Qin Shihuang where he was going.

As soon as he went out, he saw his young master Fusu approaching him. Qin Shihuang waved and said, "Fusu, come here."

Fusu trotted over and was about to salute Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang stopped him and said, "Fusu, I won't do it. Fusu, follow Father Huang." He pulled Fusu and walked.

"Father, where are you taking the child?" Fu Su asked curiously.

Qin Shihuang smiled and said: "Fusu, Father will take you to study. Father will find you a master with great knowledge and great ability, would you like it?"

"The child is at the disposal of the emperor." Fu Su said with his black eyes rolling.

Qin Shihuang hugged Fusu in his arms, kissed Fusu on the cheek, and said: "This is worthy of being the good boy of the father. Fusu, you are sinking again. Fusu, the father hopes that you will hurry up." Grow up quickly."

Fusu blinked and looked at Qin Shihuang, and said mischievously: "Father, please rest assured, the child grows by one year every year, and will be an adult in ten years."

Qin Shihuang pinched Fusu's nose, laughed loudly, and said, "You are the only one!"
