Chapter 479 "Is this what you got?"
In Taiji Hall, as soon as he came down from court, he hurriedly received the people from Baiqisi.
But when he saw the familiar fragments of the map in his hand, he felt bad.
Li Qi, the leader of Baiqisi, still didn't know why His Majesty was like this, and thought he was happy.
So, he stepped forward to claim the credit and said: "Your Majesty, I got this with great difficulty, and I lost a lot of good players for it, and..."
"All right!"
Li Shimin's head was full of black lines and he waved his hand irritably: "Stay back!"
"Your Majesty." Li Qi wanted to say something else.
Li Shimin said angrily: "Back off, wasn't what I said clear enough?"
"boom!"
A tea set that he loved very much was thrown at Li Qi.
Li Qi's eyes were full of confusion, and he didn't even bother to wipe his bruised and bloody head. It wasn't until Chen Shou quickly pulled him back that he felt scared.
Seeing Li Qi leaving, Li Shimin rubbed his head, looked at the fragments on the table, and felt a headache again.
"Hey, who made you lose your temper?"
At this time, Changsun came up with a small bowl and said with a smile.
"Guanyin Maid is here!"
When he saw Shi Changsun, his face looked better.
He smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that boy. This time, whether they are people from aristocratic families or people who are interested in Ji's inheritance, they are all fooled around by this boy Ji Song, even me."
After saying that, he started to sigh again. It was really embarrassing!
He should have thought of it a long time ago. With that kid's meticulousness, how could he be discovered so easily?
But where has the real inheritance gone? Was Ji Song’s previous letter a lie to me?
No, he shook his head and shook the thought out of his head.
Even if that boy had the courage to do so, he would not dare to deceive the emperor. This was no joke.
Changsun picked up the fragments on the table. It was made up of three more pieces, but why did it look so familiar? No, I've definitely seen it somewhere.
But it looks like it's very old, it doesn't look like it's new!
"Mr. Guanyin, please stop looking. This is the map of Nanyang that he sent to the palace!"
Li Shimin saw Changsun's doubts and explained.
Only then did Changsun remember the map that His Majesty had been observing all day long ago. She frowned when she saw some familiar places on the fragments.
"What does he mean? What do you want to do with a map?"
"Also, what about the real inheritance?"
No wonder she was confused, she really couldn't explain it.
Li Shimin did not speak, but handed another fragment to Changsun and asked her to take a closer look.
"This is."
Zhangsun was a little surprised. If he saw it carefully, it was a method of making utensils, but there was only one part, and it seemed as if someone had forcibly torn it apart in the middle.
"and this."
Another fragment, this one was too much for her to understand.
There are many strange symbols densely written on it, but the numbers mixed in it are exactly the ones Ji Song spreads.
"This should be an extremely complex mathematical calculation method, but I don't know what the symbols on it mean!"
Li Shimin explained.
Changsun did not ask again this time, but showed a thoughtful expression.
"He can't do it!" Changsun seemed to have thought of something and covered his mouth in surprise.
Li Shimin said angrily: "What else is impossible? This guy has involved almost half of the Tang Dynasty family in one go."
Then he laughed and said, "What do you think they will do after they get these things? No wonder I heard that people have been giving gifts to that kid from time to time during this period. It turns out they got these things!"
At that time, he was still curious whether these people from aristocratic families were crazy or something. Not only did they give gifts, but they also seemed to be beaten and scolded at will.
It turns out that the problem is here!
No matter how they got it, it is a family heirloom of the Ji family after all. Everyone is respectable, so the appearance of it cannot be too ugly.
After all, it's all about looking up but not looking down, the benefits have been obtained, giving gifts and apologizing, everyone looks good.
If the Ji family is really pushed into a hurry, it will not end well.
But what does it mean that there are so many diagrams of mechanisms with unknown functions and inexplicable fragments being circulated? He can still understand the map thing.
After all, they are all overseas places. Even if there are huge benefits, they still have to build ships in the end. This may be the purpose of that kid.
First, we can divert everyone's attention. After all, overseas interests are too great for one person or country to absorb.
Sharing their share is nothing.
What's more, in order to obtain these benefits, they had to divert a large amount of resources to the sea, which could be regarded as solving a lot of troubles for the court.
But what do these incomprehensible calculations mean? "Your Majesty, King Wei and King Wu are back and are asking for an audience outside!"
Chen Shou came over and said at this time.
Li Shimin was upset at this time. How could he have time to take care of his two sons? So, he waved his hand and said: "I'll be back when I'm back. Just go and do whatever you need to do. Don't bother me."
But just when Chen Shou was about to go out, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Come back!"
Chen Shou was stunned for a moment. Although he was confused, he still came back and said, "What other orders does your Majesty have?"
Looking at the strange symbols on the table, it reminded him of the "Elementary Arithmetic" taught in the academy, and there were some substitute symbols on it.
"Let them in!"
Chen Shou went out, but Changsun stayed by his side and said nothing.
After a while the two people came in.
"My son, I have met my father, the emperor and my queen!" the two of them said respectfully.
Li Shimin said impatiently: "Come, come here, I haven't seen you for such a long time, I will give you a good test to see if your studies have deteriorated during this period!"
The eldest grandson rolled his eyes, but he didn't expose it!
The two of them looked at each other. They had to take an exam just after they came back, but they were both the best in the academy, so they really didn't look down on them.
"My son, do your best!"
Li Tai said carefully: "I wonder what my father is going to take the exam for?"
Li Shimin didn't waste any time and handed the paper copied from the fragment to his two sons.
After taking the paper, they frowned when they saw the calculations on it! Li Shimin thought it was too difficult, so he was about to say something, but Li Tai's next words almost pissed him off.
"Who copied this? They don't even know the basic way to write symbols, and there are problems with the order of arrangement. It seems that the arithmetic is not good at first glance."
Li Shimin's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his grandson was laughing so hard.
"You're the one who counts. How come there's so much nonsense?" Li Shimin said angrily. After all, it's not good to be scolded by his son.
When Li Tai saw that something was wrong, he quickly smiled and looked carefully.
Li Ke also studied it carefully.
But the two of them stared at it for a while, and both frowned. The calculation above was very complicated, but what puzzled them was that this calculation seemed to be a formula, a formula they had never seen before.
The werewolves looked at each other, who invented this formula? Then he looked back at Li Shimin in disbelief. It couldn't be his father, right?
But is it possible? The two of them fell deeply into doubt (End of this chapter)
