"Thank you so much, His Highness the King of Shu, Cao Chong resigned."
Watching Cao Chong retreat, Liu Zhang was completely sure that he was a genius, and he was a genius who knew how to watch people's actions and judge the situation. He cleverly avoided the suspicion of becoming an official and the trouble of getting involved in the dispute between the princes.
In fact, Liu Zhang didn't know that Cao Chongyuan did not have such political awareness. He had always only understood planning and military affairs. It was never his specialty to observe people's actions, assess the situation, and choose the best place for himself.
It was just because of this Yecheng coup that it dealt a huge blow to Cao Chong. Even his second brother betrayed his father and killed Cao Ren on the spot. This kind of excitement made Cao Chong unforgettable.
Now Cao Chong just wants to save the Cao family and eradicate the family. For this purpose, Cao Chong doesn't want to think about other things. How can he become an official and arouse Liu Zhang's suspicion, or teach Liu Kang and get involved in a dispute that has nothing to do with him.
What's more, Cao Chong saw that Liu Zhang didn't want him to teach Liu Kang.
After Cao Chong left, Liu Zhang returned to the back hall. Liu Kang immediately said to Huang Yue: "Mother, why didn't Cao Chong agree to be my teacher? It's so abominable, these people can't be used, why don't you kill me, father?"
"Kang'er." Seeing Liu Kang's pink little face with murderous intent, Huang Yue was really shocked. After the Chang'an battle, Liu Zhang asked how to deal with the noble clan, Liu Kang directly said kill, Huang Yue
The people around me were a little surprised.
But at least that time it was because of the rebellion, but this time, just because Cao Chong didn't agree to be the master, it was the same, Huang Yue was really surprised.
Huang Yue scolded Liu Kang sternly: "Don't say such things again in the future. How old are you? You should study hard and don't have random thoughts."
"Oh, yes, Queen Mother."
Liu Kang responded in a low voice. He continued to write, Huang Yueying sighed slightly, remembering Liu Zhang's attitude when Cao Chong refused to become Liu Kang's master, Huang Yue already roughly understood Liu Zhang's thoughts.
Even though Liu Zhang said Liu Xun was stupid and Liu Kang was smart, he never wavered in his idea of making Liu Xun his heir. Liu Kang had no hope.
But after Huang Yue thought about it, he felt relieved. He actually never thought about changing these things. He just felt that Liu Kang was his own.
It's better to stop thinking now. Only then can we focus on letting Liu Kang grow up well and not get involved in those messy things. But in the future, we must pay attention to restraining those servants and not talk nonsense, otherwise Liu Zhang will definitely be unhappy.
Cao Chong walked to the outer courtyard and saw two people playing chess. One was Zhou Buyi and the other was the young master Liu Xun. Although Cao Chong didn't know him, they were both famous figures. This was the palace of the Prince of Shu. He could guess it by looking at their clothes.
Already.
Cao Chong came and planned to leave directly. Suddenly Zhou Buji stood up and walked directly to Cao Chong without even saying hello to Liu Xun, leaving Liu Xun there to think hard about the chess moves.
"Is this Mr. Cao Chong? I'll meet you next week, Buyi. Nice to meet you." Zhou Buyi said to Cao Chong with a smile.
Cao Chong saw that Zhou Buyi did not bow to him, but it was not that arrogant, but casual, so he did not bow to him. He said directly: "Young Master Zhou is here just to wait for Cao Chong, right? What's the matter? ... Well...
, No matter what happens to Mr. Zhou, I guess Cao Chong won’t be able to help."
"Just this sentence shows that I am not waiting for the wrong person." Zhou Buyi said with a smile: "I have nothing to do. I heard that Master Cao Chong was extremely intelligent and thought that Cao and Han would never see each other after they separated. But we can see each other today. It's really great."
It's fate, Zhou Buyi just wants to make friends."
"Do you want to help Mr. Xun just make friends?"
"Sure enough, Mr. Cao has the same name as you. Chong, why are you so straightforward? Come on, let's play chess. Mr. Xun's chess skills are really not that good. I'll let you do it instead."
Zhou Buyi said, patting Cao Chong on the back and heading towards the chessboard. Zhou Buyi was half a head taller than Cao Chong. Both of them were fair and handsome, and they looked more like brothers.
However, Cao Chong did not answer the order. He raised his hands to Zhou Buyi and said, "Forgive me, Master Zhou. The King of Shu has just allocated a thatched cottage. Cao Chong has to go back and tidy up the room. I'll take my leave now."
After Cao Chong finished speaking, he was about to go out. Zhou Bujie knew that he couldn't keep him with ordinary excuses, so he immediately pulled Cao Chong over and pushed him semi-forcefully to the chessboard position while politely saying: "Master Cao, give me a quarter of an hour, I want to show off to you.
Check out my knowledge."
"Well?" Cao Chong was surprised now. Showing off knowledge? What's there to show off?
Although he was a few years younger than Zhou Buyi, Cao Chong felt that he still knew a lot. If he could pick up ordinary classics at his fingertips, he would definitely not be able to defeat him. What kind of knowledge did Zhou Buyi show off to him?
"Okay, in a quarter of an hour, it's getting dark. Cao Chong must go back. He can't stay for much longer. If he wants to keep people when Mr. Zhou falls, Cao Chong will have to ask the King of Shu whether he wants to force the guests to stay." Cao Chong said.
.
"I'm sorry, this took half a minute." Zhou Buyi quickly took out a pen and paper and put it on the stone table, and said to Cao Chong: "Do you know the number of Sanmiao?"
Cao Chong suddenly realized that Zhou Busuo wanted to test himself on the new knowledge passed down by the Sichuan Army. Cao Chong had never heard of the Sanmiao numbers before.
However, since the accounting of Sanmiao numbers was popularized in Sichuan, Cao Cao and Sun Quan have already followed suit. As a diligent and studious child, how could I let these numbers go?
Use this to test yourself? If he hasn’t mastered ten numbers in a few years, Cao Chong wouldn’t need to be called a child prodigy.
Seeing Cao Chong's disapproving look, Zhou Buyi was not angry and immediately asked Cao Chong a question. It was an equation composed of three numbers, but this equation mainly involved multiplication and division, as well as decimals.
"Ten seconds to solve it."
Cao Chong was dumbfounded when he saw it. Although he had also studied the calculation of Sanmiao's figures, and the calculation formula was more complicated than the general calculation, but it was so complicated that Cao Chong had not thought about it. If given more time, he might be able to figure it out.
But it only takes ten seconds, which is enough to kill yourself.
Seeing Cao Chong's confusion, Zhou Buyi handed the pen to him: "Please give me a similar one."
Although he couldn't solve it, he could still draw a gourd and draw a scoop. Cao Chong thought about it for a moment, and without hesitation, he immediately wrote an arithmetic problem that seemed more complicated than Zhou Buyi's formula.
But Zhou Buyi only pondered for three seconds before saying: "The answer is fifteen point two... Oh, you don't need to check it. It will be a quarter of an hour after you finish the calculation."
"Why are you so fast?" Cao Chong asked.
"Want to know the reason? Learn from me." Zhou Buji said proudly.
"Forget it, I'll go back and study it myself. Although Cao Chong is a bit stupid, he can learn it in two years even if it takes more time." Cao Chong was obviously not deceived by Zhou Buyi.
Zhou Buyi glanced at Cao Chong with disdain: "Two years? If I didn't teach you, you wouldn't be able to do it for two hundred years. Do you know what mixed arithmetic is? What are the three laws? What is the multiplication table?
Really? If you know this, you can calculate quickly instead of making random calculations."
Cao Chong was still reacting to what the three laws of multiplication tables were. Zhou Buyi continued: "Do you know what a sequence is? Do you know the rules of geometric sequence and arithmetic sequence? Do you know the angle of an arc? Do you know private n and cos? Do you know?
Differentiation? Do you know derivatives? Do you know what Fourier series is? Do you know what Laplace’s theorem is? Do you know..."
Cao Chong looked at Zhou Buyi stupidly, completely stunned.
After Zhou Bujie finished speaking, he snorted, "More than these ten numbers, do you think you, Cao Chong, can master everything just by learning the Four Books and Five Classics? You know the world and the geography? It's pure nonsense. Do you know the core temperature of the sun? You know.
What is the size of Mars? Do you know the laws of celestial bodies?
Do you know about black holes and wormholes? Do you know what gravity is? Do you know how many continents there are in the world? Do you know Newton's three laws? Do you know antimatter? Do you know..."
Cao Chong held his fingers in his mouth like an idiot.
The child prodigy has the weakness of the child prodigy, and the weakness of the child prodigy is that he is eager to learn. Even if Cao Chong has no ambition for fame now, as a prodigy who is eager to study and learn, how can he not be excited when he suddenly discovers so much new knowledge, just like Columbus discovering the New World.
Zhou Buyi looked at Cao Chong's expression with satisfaction and finally regained the shame of Liu Zhang's intimidation.
Before Zhou Buji could say anything, Cao Chong said in a dignified manner: "Zhou, Mr. Zhou, what you said is true. Didn't you lie to me?"
"Although I, Zhou Buyi, do not hold any official position, I am still studying with Mr. Xun. Why did I lie to you?"
"Can you teach me?" In a blink of an eye, it was Cao Chong who asked Zhou Buyi.
Zhou Busuo smiled sinisterly in his heart, and said with a serious look on his face: "Seeing as you are so eager to learn, I'll do the hard work."
"Great, Cao Chong has met the master."
Although Cao Chong is younger than Zhou Buyi, Cao Chong has always regarded Zhou Buyi as a peer, but now he has no hesitation in becoming a master. For a studious child, whoever is knowledgeable is the natural master.
"There is no need to become a disciple. We will be friends from now on. We move around frequently and I will teach you everything I know."
"Do you know what you said?"
"Of course." Zhou Buyi said confidently. In fact, he didn't know most of what was said in it, because he only listened to Liu Zhang's general remarks and thought that it was roughly the same. It was possible, but when it came to learning, it was not at all
People today can learn it.
The reason why Liu Zhang didn't teach him was because he didn't know how to do it. He didn't study science and engineering in college. He just learned advanced mathematics as an introductory lesson. He couldn't even learn the Fourier bases even if you killed him.
"Then go teach me now. At least give me a task and I'll study it first." Cao Chong said impatiently.
"Well, okay, I'll teach you the three laws tonight." Zhou Buyi said generously, then turned around and faced Liu Xundao: "Mr. Xun, I'll go out with Cao Chong first."
"But the chess game is not over yet." Liu Xun, who was thinking hard, raised his head and said.
