Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

The Yue Prince's mansion in Yankangfang is idle every day, lazily enjoying the warm winter sun.

The Yan brothers of Xinghuafang live in a small mansion and do their own things in an orderly manner.

At the west gate of Chang'an, Li Chunfeng's face turned slightly red. He was waving goodbye to his friends and planning to return to his small house in Chang'an while shaking his head.

Take a good night's rest. Yuanzheng's ten-day rest will end tomorrow, so you need to take a good rest.

But before Li Chunfeng stepped through the gate of Chang'an City with his left foot, he saw a boy looking around outside the gate of Chang'an City.

This was an acquaintance. Li Chunfeng clearly remembered that this boy was a waiter at a restaurant in Dongshi. The restaurant was delicious and he often went there, but he didn't know what he was doing here at this time.

But it was right to say hello, so Li Chunfeng immediately stretched out his hand and shouted:

Ruan Yang'er! Who are you waiting for?

What Li Chunfeng didn't expect was that the boy was overjoyed when he saw him, but then he didn't answer, and immediately shouted:

Qianhu, he is Li Chunfeng!

Thousand households? What had he done to attract the leader of the Imperial Guard in Chang'an City like Qian Hu?

Before he could react, a group of wolf-like sergeants pounced on him and without any explanation, lifted him up and placed him on a tall horse.

Immediately, the Qianhu knight got on his horse and galloped towards the inner city of Chang'an with him.

Li Chunfeng, who was lying on the horse, felt drowsy. He felt that he was lying on the horse and being led through the busy streets of Chang'an. Then his ears suddenly became clear. He heard the voice of the knight on the horse verifying the talisman. He also judged that he had entered the imperial city.

This is also where Li Chunfeng rose to the top over the years. Although he was recommended by his friend Liu Wenjing to join the army as a clerk in the Prince of Qin's Palace, in the end he was not famous because he had neither the ability to fight or the strategy.

After Liu Wenjing was executed on charges of treason in the first year of Wude, Li Chunfeng became even more neglected.

It was not until after the Xuanwu Gate that the King of Qin became the crown prince and the Supreme Emperor abdicated, and Li Chunfeng ascended the throne, and he willingly called on His Majesty, he was finally able to show his talents. With the advice of the calendar, he was promoted to a doctor in the Taishi Bureau, studied astronomy and calendars, and studied arithmetic and Taoism. .

The shout at the gate of Chang'an City instantly reminded Li Chunfeng of his friend Liu Wenjing who died unjustly. It was not until he felt that he had entered the imperial city and not the Tingwei Prison that his heart was relieved.

However, after being frightened, Li Chunfeng's legs and feet became weak, and the knight finally carried him in.

From lying on the horse to lying on Qianhu's shoulders, his eyes dimmed and he must have entered the room, and then he heard Qianhu salute with one hand:

Fanggong, Li Chunfeng brings us here.

Jun Xian, there is no need to be formal. Since you have been brought here, go ahead and get busy.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Chunfeng, who still had a slightly frightened look on his face, and smiled helplessly, poured a cup of hot tea into his hand, and then started talking about a daily topic, intending to let this man who was praised by later generations as a mathematical genius first. Late-born juniors, calm down.

Dr. Li Yuanzheng went back to his hometown for the New Year?

Li Chunfeng huddled on this bed and chair, feeling a little unaccustomed to it. He nodded slowly when he heard this:

I am from Yong County, my home is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an, and I ride a good horse to and fro in half a day.

Fang Xuanling also nodded, which was normal. After all, the salary of a doctorate was not high. Instead of living in a hospital in Chang'an during the Chinese New Year, it was indeed a better choice to return home to care for his parents.

After watching the curtain on the third day of the first lunar month, His Majesty summoned him and Du Ruhui two days later, and they basically finalized the plan to open the Arithmetic Pavilion.

The plan here was gradually finalized very smoothly, but the failure to find the Zhenguan math genius over there gave Fang Xuanling a headache. In the end, after asking for help, it fell on Li Junxian.

At this time, looking at Li Chunfeng who was invited in the simplest way, Fang Xuanling changed the topic:

I heard that although Dr. Li studied calendars intensively, he was even better at arithmetic?

Arithmetic? Li Chunfeng woke up a little. Although he felt a little strange, he said honestly:

I dare not say that I am good at it, I can only say that I know it.

That's good. Fang Xuanling nodded and showed a friendly smile:

His Majesty wants to establish the Arithmetic Pavilion and has ordered Dr. Li to be moved to the position of Young Supervisor of the Arithmetic Pavilion. I would like to congratulate him in advance.

Li Chunfeng huddled on the chair and blinked while holding hot tea. He felt that he could understand every word of what the landlord said, but how could he not understand the meaning when they were put together?

Moreover, he did a good job as a doctor, so why should he be moved to a junior prison...a junior prison?

So Fang Xuanling saw it, and after he informed him, the thirty-year-old young man's face was blank and unresponsive, and then his eyebrows gradually rose to the end of his forehead.

Just when Fang Xuanling was wondering how big Li Chunfeng's eyes could be, he saw that the young man looked like he wanted to dance, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was sitting on a chair instead of kneeling, so he did not hesitate. There was an unexpected bang and the person turned over in his chair.

But even so, Li Chunfeng could not hide his excitement. He was a young prisoner, and his official position was second only to that of a supervisor.

Although it was a new establishment, as far as he knew at this time in the court, only the young eunuchs of the Shaofu were from the fourth rank, and the other young eunuchs of the secretaries and young eunuchs were all from the fourth rank.

And what about his doctor from the Taishi Bureau at this time? Just from the ninth grade.

In other words, as long as he nods his head now, his name will be spread throughout Chang'an tomorrow and he will be promoted to twenty levels in a row.

With such grace, Li Chunfeng suddenly thought of a sentence: Unparalleled since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty!

But precisely because of these words, Li Chunfeng calmed down. After all, he now understands His Majesty's temperament and is by no means a mediocre and blindly obedient king.

He is not His Majesty's brother-in-law like Changsun Wuji. Being favored by him means that he will have equal responsibilities. Can he handle it?

With joy in his heart, Li Chunfeng also asked his own question:

What is this academy?

Fang Xuanling's answer was quite straightforward. He had already drafted it and came right out:

Study the arithmetic of the predecessors and develop the arithmetic methods of the Tang Dynasty.

Count the geometry of the sky at the top, and the vastness of the blue sea at the bottom.

It is necessary not only to compile a new calendar for Zhenguan, but also to assist hundreds of officials and simplify administration for the people.

Facing Fang Xuanling's talk, Li Chunfeng had only one reaction:

I feel embarrassed about the heavy responsibility. I hope your Majesty will take back the edict.

Whoever wants the favor of twenty levels in a row wants it, but Li Chunfeng is sure that he can't afford it.

But when he turned around and wanted to leave, he was pulled back by Fang Xuanling. When he turned around, he saw the Duke smiling and saying:

Dr. Li is sitting here for a while. Since he feels embarrassed about the heavy responsibility, he might as well try to ask, who is worthy of his responsibility?

Fang Xuanling was fully responsible for the establishment of the Shuxue Pavilion under Li Shimin's instructions, and the proposal to promote Li Chunfeng also required preparations and a test paper.

If Li Chunfeng agreed to the job on the spot, he would take out the test papers and take the exam. After all, after a year of cramming in the Imperial College, his arithmetic skills of Fang Xuanling were not bad now.

And just like Li Chunfeng declined at this time, it would be just right for him to recommend some arithmetic wizards to fill the academy.

After all, he had also heard that Li Chunfeng, who was still young, had quite a lot of contacts, and that he belonged to Taichang Temple, one of the nine temples. Although he had overlapping responsibilities with the three provinces and six ministries, they were not subordinate to each other. Naturally, he was not very clear about it. What a talent.

Fang Xuanling's suggestion was very reasonable, so Li Chunfeng sat down again, and the first name he mentioned coincided with what Fang Xuanling knew:

When it comes to arithmetic skills, I should recommend Tongzhi Sanqi Shilang Taishi Cheng and Wang Xiaotong first.

Speaking of this person, Li Chunfeng had a look of longing in his eyes, and he praised him gushingly.

Fang Xuanling understood it. After all, he had already heard about his intensive study of arithmetic when he was an official in the former Sui Dynasty. Even Fang Xuanling himself read Nine Chapters of Arithmetic and Dropout when he was studying arithmetic at the Imperial Academy. Of the two books, the most pertinent and easy-to-understand annotated version is also written by Wang Xiaotong.

In fact, after discussing with His Majesty, it was unanimously decided that the position of school supervisor should be filled by Wang Xiaotong.

Then Li Chunfeng mentioned a few more names, and Fang Xuanling also wrote them down carefully one by one. As long as these names pass the examination, they will be filled in the arithmetic pavilion in the future.

As for unwillingness... it is impossible. After all, Wang Xiaotong's astonishing arithmetic talent is only from the seventh grade, and if he enters the Imperial College, he will be promoted to another grade, which will not be higher than the sixth grade, and will not reach the fifth grade. This is the most important threshold.

The positions in the Aristocratic Pavilion were set up by Li Shimin himself. As long as they were separated from the chief registrar, teaching assistant, and doctorate, their positions would start from the fifth rank, which would be a higher level than the Imperial College salary. How could it not be tempting?

After Lin Zongzong wrote down a dozen names from Li Chunfeng's mouth, Li Chunfeng's expression became a little nervous and hesitantly said:

I also have a good friend who is the same age as me. His arithmetic ability is far better than mine. He also knows music, rhythm, literature, and hydrology and geography.

Oh? Fang Xuanling immediately became interested: Who is it?

Li Chunfeng did not hesitate and immediately recommended:

Lü Cai, Bachelor of Music in Hongwen Hall.

Although he seemed to be a music expert, out of recognition of Li Chunfeng's genius, Fang Xuanling still wrote down the name seriously.

In the end, when faced with Fang Xuanling's invitation to become a doctor in the Mathematical Pavilion and advance to the tenth level, Li Chunfeng naturally had no reason to refuse.

I just don’t understand the landlord’s request:

Aren't you allowed to indulge in Huang Lao's learning?

After Yuan Zheng's ten-day rest, Chang'an also returned to its original rhythm, becoming even more prosperous due to the victory over DTZ.

It was not until mid-February that a group of short foreigners arrived in Chang'an City.
