Chapter 213
"Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, where are the people?" Qin Shihuang raised his head and shouted.
Zhao Gao is a cautious person by nature and never makes any mistakes. He is always waiting by Qin Shihuang and is always there. This time, Qin Shihuang called for a long time but there was no one. Qin Shihuang was also surprised. He stood up and came to the door. Zhao Gao was panting and hurriedly ran over.
Qin Shihuang's face sank and shouted, "Zhao Gao, where have you been? I have been calling for a long time, and I don't even have a figure."
Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and kowtowed and apologized: "Emperor, the slave minister has dereliction of duty, and the slave minister has dereliction of duty. He deserves to die. Please ask the emperor to punish the slave minister."
If a person like Zhao Gao, who rarely makes mistakes, has made such obvious mistakes, must have encountered something strange. Qin Shihuang waved his hand and said, "Get up. Where have you been."
Zhao Gao thanked him for your kindness, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't gone anywhere, I'm staying at home."
Qin Shihuang had a stern face and shouted, "You forget me when you stay at home. Is your home more important than me?"
Zhao Gao hurriedly said, "Emperor, no, no. The slave minister listened to Zhao Cheng, the adopted son of the slave minister, who told stories. He forgot it as soon as he got fascinated. It would be too late to wait for the slave minister to remember that he should serve the emperor."
This is a serious crime. In theory, Qin Shihuang should have been furious. Zhao Gao was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang's performance surprised him. Qin Shihuang looked at Zhao Gao for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, your knowledge is not the best in Qin, but also very excellent. Zhao Cheng's story can make you so fascinated by this story. This story is not simple, so tell me.
I am tired and just want to relieve my boredom, you tell me."
Zhao Gao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this story is just a reteller from Zhao Cheng, but it is actually Mr. Zhou's story."
"Mr. Zhou's story?" Qin Shihuang was very strange. He said: "Mr. Zhou is dedicated to educating people. What story does he have? It's so attractive?"
Zhao Gao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou's knowledge is unique. It is simple and bright, easy to remember and use, and it makes people feel fresh when listening to it. Zhao Cheng retelled it. I was fascinated by the memory and forgot the time."
"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to ask you about your crime yet." Qin Shihuang comforted and said, "Speak quickly, why are you standing there?"
Zhao Gaoying said, "Mr. Zhou taught a numerical technique completely different from what we learn. What he taught is quite interesting, for example, he taught 3+2-5=0. There are also multiplication formulas, one vehicle and one get one, two vehicle and two get four, which is very regular and easy to remember.
”
The multiplication formula table used in modern times is much simpler than the ancient Chinese mathematics. It is easy to remember and use. Zhao Gao is proficient in mathematics, but he didn't expect that there is such a simple formula table. It is normal to forget it when he hears it.
Qin Shihuang pondered slightly. He nodded and said, "It's quite convenient, easy to remember and use, every word is so precious."
Zhao Gao became interested and continued, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhou taught is so magical, and you can make something out of nothing."
"Creating something out of nothing? Didn't you become a god?" Qin Shihuang's eyes shone, and he said, "I must ask Mr. Zhou for the art of immortality."
Zhao Gao patted his mouth lightly and explained: "The emperor misunderstood. Mr. Zhou is not a god's ability, but a human-land ability. It's so amazing that you can boil eggs in lime."
As soon as quicklime touches water, it will turn into ripe lime, which releases a lot of chemical heat energy and can definitely cook eggs. Friends who are studying chemistry know that this is common sense, but this was in the Qin Dynasty, which was really amazing for the ancients.
Only gods and immortals have this "fairy art". It is impossible to be amazed by first-class scholars like Zhao Gao.
"It's really amazing!" Qin Shihuang also praised it and said, "I heard that your adopted son Zhao Cheng is ignorant. He only knows how to fight cocks and dogs all day long, and relies on your power to do whatever he wants outside. Is this a matter?" His face darkened and he shouted fiercely.
Zhao Gao shouted loudly, knelt down, kowtowed and apologized: "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to discipline me. I deserve to die for thousands of crimes, and I deserve to die for thousands of crimes!" The cold sweat on my forehead came out, and I was so scared that I was really scared.
"If the son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault! Although Zhao Cheng is not your parent-child, but your adopted son, this is all caused by you, and you will be fined for one year.
"Qin Shihuang walked and said, "I have repeatedly warned you close ministers to take good care of your family and not to do things that harm the people. You will turn a deaf ear to me. I have to find someone to punish you. Who can handle this matter?"
Qin Shihuang was unpredictable, and Zhao Gao was so scared that he was terrified that he dared not speak nonsense. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know, but I don't know."
"I see, you are the most suitable." Qin Shihuang said with a stern face: "Are you a versatile person? You are very popular everywhere. I will give you this offending errands. You have to manage the nobles and nobles in Xianyang for me.
I also want to tell you, don’t think about playing tricks, I want to ask Mr. Zhou to check. You are not unaware of Mr. Zhou’s ability. If you dare to be favoritism and abuse the law, you will definitely find it out for you.”
There are more senior officials in Xianyang City. Many of their land children are inappropriate for discipline. If Zhao Gao wants to rectify them, he will offend all the officials. This trick is cruel enough. Zhao Gao knew that he could not accept it, but he dared not refuse it. He had to say, "Prince, please rest assured, I will do it well.
”
Qin Shihuang paced around Zhao Gao, and every step seemed to be walking on Zhao Gao's heart. He was so scared that he could not help but tremble. Qin Shihuang finally stopped and said, "I heard that your adopted son Zhao Cheng has performed well recently. He no longer acts mischief and runs to Mr. Zhou's school whenever he has time. Is that true?"
Even knowing this, you don’t have to think that Zhao Gao’s every move is under the control of Qin Shihuang. Zhao Gao secretly glad that he did not do anything out of order and kowtowed, "Your Majesty! Since Zhao Cheng went to Mr. Zhou’s school, he has devoted himself to learning and no longer obsessed with the fact that he fights cocks and falls. Mr. Zhou is really a lucky star of his servant. If Mr. Zhou had not controlled this unfilial son, he would not have known what trouble would have caused to his servant.
”
"It's good that you know." Qin Shihuang said: "Get up and follow me."
Zhao Gao responded and got up, afraid and dared not ask where Qin Shihuang was going.
As soon as he left the door, he saw the young master Fusu coming towards him. Qin Shihuang waved and said, "Fusu, come here."
Fusu trotted over and was about to salute Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang held him and said, "Fusu, let's go. Fusu, go with his father." He pulled Fusu and walked.
"Father, where are you going to take your child?" Fusu asked curiously.
Qin Shihuang smiled and said, "Fusu, my father will take you to study. My father will find you a master with great knowledge and great ability. Are you willing?"
"Children, please follow the arrangements of his father." Fusu said with his black eyes.
Qin Shihuang hugged Fusu in his arms, kissed Fusu on the face, and said, "This is why he is worthy of being the father's good child. Fusu, you are so heavy again. Fusu, the father hopes that you will grow up quickly."
Fusu blinked at Qin Shihuang and said mischievously: "Don't worry, Father, the child is one year older, and he will become an adult in ten years."
