Chapter 66 The Grand Master and the General

The next morning, Qian Xiaoxing was sleeping in a daze and heard someone knocking on the door. He got up and opened the door and saw that it was Fang Ying.

"What are you talking about early in the morning? Look, it's not dawn yet!" Qian Xiaoxing looked at the sky. There was only a thin layer of white light in the black sky, and it was still early.

"It's getting late, get up quickly and get ready, don't let others wait." Fang Ying urged.

"Oh, I'm the young master's body, the life of a servant. Hey, you'll get up when you wear pajamas like this. What are the two white balls on your chest?" Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but say when he saw Fang Ying's chest leaking.

Fang Ying hurriedly grabbed the clothes, but was anxious just now, and didn't even bother to take care of it, cursing: "Have you seen enough? When you were a child, you looked at breastfeeding every day, haven't you seen enough yet? Go and wash up!"

"When I was a kid, why didn't I have any impression of it?"

Qian Xiaoxing was pulled by Fang Yingla and then reached the entrance of the well and started washing. As soon as she finished washing, she heard someone knocking on the yard door. Qian Xiaoxing opened it and saw that it was the person who came to pick him up the Taifu Mansion.

"Brother Xing, wait." Lan Xiaocui saw that Qian Xiaoxing was about to go out, so she hurried over: "You can take these two eggs on the way, and it's too late to make other things."

Qian Xiaoxing took the warm egg, waved to the two women and said, "Go back and sleep, wait for my good news."

Qian Xiaoxing walked out of the alley and saw a carriage listening to a carriage on the street. The two people who came to pick up Qian Xiaoxing this time were a middle-aged man holding a horse whip, thinking that he was a carriage. The other Taifu Mansion had seen him, and he should be a Taifu servant. Qian Xiaoxing and the two were silent for a few words, then looked at the carriage.

Qian Xiaoxing had never been on a carriage, and it was very fresh. Ancient carriages had one wheel axle, two wheels, and the pole was placed on the horse's back, which was very simple.

Qian Xiaoxing climbed into the carriage and went into the carport. The carport was not big, and it was probably full of three people.

The coachman and the butler sat on the side and drove the car away. Qian Xiaoxing listened to the creaking sound of the wheels. He wondered why the carriage had only two wheels in ancient times, and why there were no four wheels in the carriage?

I don’t know how long I walked, but the carriage stopped. Qian Xiaoxing saw that although the sun had not come out, it was already very bright. There was a big city gate in the distance, with many copper nails nailed on the red door, and a moat beside the tall city wall. This should be the palace.

At this time, the red door had already opened, with many guards standing on both sides of the door, and many vehicles were parked at the door, and ministers with official uniforms were getting off the car and walking towards the palace.

"Foreman Qian is here." The Grand Tutor who had just come out of the sedan chair was talking to Qian Xiaoxing.

"It's early for the Grand Tutor. How dare you be late for the things that the Grand Tutor ordered?" Qian Xiaoxing leaned over and said.

"Haha, don't say you dare not, I don't dare, just follow me in." The tutor asked Qian Xiaoxing to follow him and walked into the door.

The Grand Tutor said a few words to the guard at the door, and the guard let the two of them in.

Qian Xiaoxing came to the palace for the first time, and was naturally fresh and curious. The palace was filled with buildings, trees, pavilions and pavilions were distributed everywhere, and even the stones on the ground were white.

As the Taifu walked through several gates, there were guards standing at each gate, and the guards were really strict. The Taifu led Qian Xiaoxing to a small house and said, "You wait here first, and wait for the message to be delivered inside, you are coming in."

"Yes, yes." Qian Xiaoxing agreed carefully, and he was still a little excited when he saw the emperor later.

In the court, two classes of ministers stood on both sides, with a fat figure and an emperor in his forties wearing a dragon robe and yawning on a dragon throne. He thought that he had fucked two concubines last night and had to get up early. It was so hard.

Two classes of ministers knelt down and shouted long live, and each retreated to their positions.

"If you have a prescription, you will leave the court without a prescription." The little eunuch beside him shouted, pulling his throat.

"I have a foundation." A man flashed out of the civil servant's queue and said.

"Oh, what's the matter with Lord Shangshu?" said the emperor.

"Recently, a craftsman in Shandu made an object called air conditioner that can adjust yin and yang, and can also make the room cool and comfortable in hot weather. I think the emperor works day and night for the country. This air conditioner can be installed in the palace to avoid the pain of heat, and do more for my great Hu to enrich the country and strengthen the people, and unify the world." Shangshu leaned over and said slowly.

"Oh, there is also such a thing, called air conditioner? Then let the craftsman install it for me quickly." The emperor said excitedly. The hot weather was the most difficult, and it was even more difficult for the fat man, the emperor.

"Yes, I'm in touch immediately." Shangshu said and retreated.

"Is there anything else that other beloved ministers have to do? Just retreat if you have nothing to do." After the emperor said that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

The tutor thought to himself, have the emperor forgotten what he said yesterday? It would be better to forget it. If Xiaoxing didn't do it well and the emperor was not satisfied, it would be a bad thing for him. It would be better to have less trouble than to have more things, so he stood there without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to report." A man stood up in the military officers' queue and said.

"Oh, what's wrong with General?" The emperor sat back in his seat helplessly and cursed inwardly, why didn't people calm down?

"Didn't the emperor measure the height of the tree outside the imperial kitchen yesterday? I wonder if the Grand Tutor has the answer." The general looked at the Grand Tutor and said.

As soon as the Taifu heard the General's words, he knew that nothing was good, because the Taifu and the General had always been in a different position and had many conflicts. Now they are both in dispute. With such a good opportunity to rectify the Taifu, how could the General let it go? The Taifu silently greeted the Taifu and his eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart.

"Oh, but this matter is true. Does the tutor have an answer?" The emperor said casually yesterday, but he didn't expect that the general would catch the tutor. In fact, he didn't want to make things difficult for the tutor anymore, but now he has no choice but to ask.

When the tutor heard this, he thought that it was fortunate that he had prepared, otherwise he would not have been demoted as if he had asked the general to take the opportunity to exaggerate. Then he stood out of the queue and said, "I must do my best to do my best to what the emperor ordered. Yesterday, I thought about it for a day and a night, and finally got a solution."

"I won't be able to catch monkeys and climb trees, right?" the general said sarcastically.

The Grand Tutor glanced at the General, thinking that you should not fall into my hands next time, and continued to reply to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this method is called the method of contrast and equality, but it is a profound knowledge."

This name was just something Qian Xiaoxing said nonsense, so the tutor used it to show off in the court.

"Comparing the equal quantity method?" The emperor was obviously a little new to this new term: "Tell me quickly how to measure it?"

"Your Majesty, why not go to the tree and I will explain it to you?" the Grand Tutor suggested.

"Okay, retreat to the court and move to the imperial kitchen." The emperor wanted to leave the court earlier and said hurriedly.

All the ministers found it novel and followed the emperor to the imperial kitchen. Outside the imperial kitchen door, a redwood penetrated into the sky, with lush branches and leaves, straight trunks, and branches and leaves appearing a triangle from a distance.

The emperor walked to the tree and stopped and said, "Tao Fu, tell me your solution."

"When I go back to the emperor, the way I can do is to measure the shadow of the tree, and you can get the height of the tree. For example, the length of the shadow of the tree is exactly the height of the number, and then you will know it with the quantity." said the Taifu.

"I thought it was a method. Grand Tutor, were you fooling the emperor? How do you know when the shadow of this tree is exactly as long as the height of the tree?" the general said sarcastically.

When the emperor heard that the general was indeed reasonable, he asked, "Yes, Grand Tutor, how do you know this?"

"By the emperor, this is also simple. As long as I stand a ruler on the ground, if the length of the ruler is exactly as long as the shadow, then the length of the tree shadow will be as long as the tree." Although the Taifu was very confident in this method, he was still very nervous and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"This method is also clever and good." The emperor nodded and praised after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with the next method. Do you let everyone wait and measure the ruler as long as the shadow?" The general said relentlessly.

"Well, can the Taifu have a better way?" The emperor was obviously dissatisfied with this method when he heard the general's words.

"When you go back to the emperor, this doesn't have to be measured when it is the same length. For example, the shadow is half the height of the tree or other proportions, which can be calculated." The Taifu replied.

"Oh, is that right? Then measure it now. I really want to know how tall this tree is." The emperor urged.

When the tutor heard this, he was in trouble. He originally thought that he could get through it, but it was too difficult to calculate the height of the tree by himself. It seemed that Qian Xiaoxing still needed to come.

"Back to the emperor, this calculation method requires a person with very good magic numbers to calculate correctly. A disciple under Weichen happened to be proficient in it. He has brought him today. I also asked the emperor to announce his visit to him." The Grand Tutor said helplessly.

"Okay, hurry up." said the emperor.

At this time, other ministers were discussing the feasibility of this method. Those who stand on the General's side could not say that this method was good.

Naruto crossed his hands, quickly made a few handprints, and shouted: Spiritual Art! Seeing a black circle appearing on the ground, several black lines spread out from the center. A burst of white smoke passed, and a red ticket was added to the ground. Naruto nodded with satisfaction, and finally a red ticket was voted.
