If these three people agree, then the talents trained by Ye Chang will be poached, but if they don't agree, this will arouse the hatred of Li Longji for Ye Chang. Those who have no experience in grasping the joints may easily have problems. Li Longji is very capable. If he did something like this in front of Ye Chang and the crowd, I'm afraid it would be just like the Princess Shou'an incident. Firstly, he has a childish heart and wants to play tricks on others. Secondly, he also does the same thing. I want to see how these people taught by Ye Chang are not only good at arithmetic, but also how they treat others. But to a certain extent, this is indeed a sign that he doesn't take Ye Chang to heart. Therefore, when everyone looked at Ye Chang, they found that instead of being angry or depressed, Ye Chang smiled again. Yue Xi was the faint leader among the three. He saluted and thanked him, and then said slowly: "The three of us are currently serving the country under Ye Zhongcheng's account. We just haven't made any achievements yet, so we don't dare to serve as officials." He spoke slowly and slowly. Not slow, although his eyes were obviously a little nervous due to his youth, but overall, he was still generous, which made Li Longji really happy. Looking at Ye Chang, Li Longji smiled and said: "You just said that the court needs arithmetic In this case, I wonder if you can part with me?" "I don't know what official position the saint wants to grant him." Ye Chang said seriously: "If he is just a minor official, why? I thought it would be a waste of talents for the officials in the capital." Li Longji laughed loudly after hearing this, and then nodded: "What you are saying is that if such a handsome young talent only serves as a warehouse clerk, it is indeed true. It's a waste of talents In this case, let them train under you for a few more years. After a few years, I will again promise to be close to the people of Zhongyuan and Jianghuai. What do you think? "I thank the saint for their kindness?" . Ye Chang replied. He had known for a long time that this would be the result. Now Li Longji is no longer a meritocracy. People like Yang Zhao can suddenly become rich just because of nepotism. The three young men in front of them were obviously far more talented than Yang Zhao, but they only received an empty promise: "Now, you can also accept the glory that belongs to you. "After dealing with Li Longji, Ye Chang said to Yue Xi and the others. The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ye Chang meant. They went down to the city and came to the gate of the city. It happened that the final decision was announced on the city. The people who were watching the excitement already knew the winner, but now the city announced that it was the final decision. When the result came out, cheers came out, and then came the winner. In praise, although Li Longji was stingy and refused to take up serious positions, he was still willing to accept the worthless casual official position. From the ninth grade Wen Linlang, he could be regarded as an official, but it really shocked everyone. The reward was a thousand dollars each, wrapped in a huge envelope, and handed over by the eunuch into the hands of the three of them. Even if the three of them followed Ye Chang, they would not have to worry about pocket money, even if they all knew that they would be with Ye Chang in the future. At this moment, the three of them were excited because they could make more money. When Li Longji saw the three of them bowing down in the city, he turned to look at Shou'an, who was full of smiles. Of course, the money was not paid by Li Longji himself, but by Shouan. Li Longji also knew that in the final analysis, the money was paid by Ye Chang, but since Ye Chang used the money to invite names for him, he also paid for it. Why don't you want to? When he was looking at his daughter, he found a small note in her hand. Li Longji frowned: "Twenty-nine women, what is that in your hand?" " Shou'an handed over the note in his hand, Qiao smiled and said: "My daughter really likes the excitement today. I wish I could see it like this, so I have an idea. Father, please take a look. " Li Longji looked at the note, looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, and then went to Shou'an again: "Is this really what you think? " "Yes," Shou'an said with a calm face. In fact, those who were interested had seen this note a long time ago. Ye Chang had just taken the time to ask the eunuch to deliver this note to Shou'an. Li Longji also knew very well, but Shou'an was not There was nothing he could do about it. "You just like to be careless, okay, okay, I'll let you do it" Li Longji smiled and said, "Thank you, father." Shou'an thanked him, and then said to Gao Lishi: "Mr. Gao, please issue an edict on behalf of your father. From now on, on December 12th every year, we will hold this grand meeting outside Chunming Gate in the capital. Lushun Academy and Guozi Supervisor School will give a total of ten questions that can be solved within an hour. Those who have answered these ten questions will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins." Gao Lishi thought this was a bit ridiculous, but seeing that Li Longji was in high spirits, he did not object. He then joked: "Yes, but this grand event must have a name, like the ball market competition. There is a general name. " " Come and see. "Shou'an handed the piece of paper to Gao Lishi again. Gao Lishi took a look and found that in addition to Shou'an's proposal for the competition, the paper also named the competition: Mathematical Olympiad. "Math Olympiad? "Good name, good name, study the secrets of numbers, and the principles of calculation," Gao Lishi said with a smile. So the Datang Mathematical Olympiad was born. Later generations of mathematics historians also called this year the first year of the Mathematical Olympiad. As the number of its holdings increased and its influence expanded, countless smart and talented people in the Tang Dynasty began to participate in the cruel Mathematical Olympiad competition since childhood. This is something to talk about later, let¡¯s not mention it for now. Ye Chang promoted this matter simply because he wanted to popularize arithmetic, and everyone knew what he meant. Gao Lishi was about to deliver the order when someone stepped forward and said loudly: "No, no." Li Longji was tired and wanted to leave. Seeing this situation, he had to stay. The speaker is the imperial censor, Jing Zhaoyin, and the envoy king of the capital. Although the king was slightly inferior to Yang Zhao at this time, he still held more than ten envoy posts and was so powerful that he was definitely one of the few at the center of the imperial court. As soon as he spoke, Li Longji had to listen to what he had to say no matter what. "Why did Wang Qing say no?" "I have a grudge against Ye Chang for the murder of my son. I should avoid suspicion and shouldn't say this. However, as a royal censor, I cannot sit back and watch treacherous and young people deceive the emperor." Wang Shen said sadly "The sage didn't pay attention for a moment, but he took advantage of it." "Speak directly if you have something to say." "Sage, why is this arithmetic now under the supervision of Taishi?" Wang's voice suddenly became high-pitched, as if he was admonishing Yan. Ye Chang frowned suddenly, feeling something bad in his heart. He glanced around and saw Yang Zhao beside him. His eyes were excited. When he saw him, he even grinned, like a hungry beast eager to eat people. "This" "It's just because if you want to teach astronomy, you must teach arithmetic." Without waiting for Li Longji's response, the king said sternly: "Therefore, the Imperial Academy of Arithmeticology was placed under the jurisdiction of the eunuch. And the precise study of arithmetic must involve Tian Wen, Ye Chang's people, have sinister intentions, which are obvious." Li Longji's eyes flashed with a cold light and he looked directly at Wang. At this time, the king knew that he had no way out. Judging from the situation just now, although Yang Zhao and Ye Chang may not become allies, they at least reached a certain tacit understanding. If he fails to seize the opportunity and breaks their tacit understanding, he will face pressure from both sides in the future. Therefore, he took a step forward and said loudly: "I remember that the "Tang Lv Shu Yi" contains that Xuanxiang utensils, astronomical books, eagle books, military books, Qiyao calendar, Taiyi, Lei formula are not allowed to be owned by private persons. Those who violate the rules will be punished for two years. If the instructions are not followed, Ye Chang will create an abacus privately. This is a mysterious artifact and he teaches arithmetic privately. His crime has been punished as a disciple, and he should be punished and investigated for his crime. If there is any treason or disobedience, he should be punished as a criminal." When he said this, he took another breath, and then quickly continued: "There is another saying in "Tang Lu Shu Yi", "Those who make coat books and coat words will be hanged." At this point, Wang stared at Ye Chang, with a murderous look in his eyes. He followed Ye Chang to watch the excitement this time, although he was not satisfied. The civil and military officials of the court were present, but there were also many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. After Wang finished speaking, everyone held their breath and concentrated, and everyone was as silent as a cicada. No one dared to say a word. For no other reason, the problem Wang said was too sharp. An in-depth study of mathematics will inevitably involve astronomy at this time, and to study astronomy, mathematics must be used as a tool. There is a consensus among the government and the public on this point. Studying astronomy privately is a serious crime. Ye Chang's Lushun Academy teaches arithmetic to a level that exceeds that of the Imperial College of Arithmeticology. It is not impossible to say that he has evil intentions. Ye Chang pursed his lips slightly, but on the surface, he remained calm and did not seem to take Wang's attack to heart. Li Longji turned his attention to Ye Chang. He had always been wary of Ye Chang, but Ye Chang had always behaved very well. Not to mention being loyal to him, he did not reveal too much ambition for power, so Li Longji Longji can still accommodate him. But at this time, Li Longji had to take it seriously. Although the Tang Dynasty was open and tolerant and could tolerate Ye Chang's strange clothes, it still had a taboo attitude towards astronomical matters. Although Li Longji was smart, he was not exempt from the vulgarity. Shou'an also lost her beauty at this time. She knew what her father's biggest taboo was, so she couldn't help but hate Wang to the core. Just when everyone was waiting for Ye Chang to defend himself, Yang Zhao slowly took a step forward and said slowly: "I am stupid and didn't realize that this was a taboo. I ask the saint to forgive me. I thought that Ye Chang had no intention at this time." The rebellious heart." As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was stunned again. Could it be that Yang Zhao and Ye Chang joined forces just now, not just a temporary cooperation, but an alliance between the two parties? That's why Yang Zhao came out to excuse Ye Chang? Yang Zhao smiled slightly, and then said: "However, it is also true that Ye Chang has always behaved inappropriately. Although he has no intention of rebelliousness, he can behave inappropriately and should be demoted. I ask the saint to remove all envoys from his post. , he was removed from the military post and sent to Lingnan Road as a county commander to make full use of his talents." "Hard" Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. They originally thought that Yang Zhao was speaking for Ye Chang, but it turned out that Yang Zhao was helping the king. The knife, and this knife was extremely accurate and ruthless, seemingly tolerantly erasing Ye Chang's "treasonous intentions"In fact, Ye Chang was charged with the crime of misconduct, and Ye Chang was also required to be relieved of his financial and military power, and exiled to Lingnan. If Ye Chang was really dismissed from office and removed from power, he would not have enough How could he keep the two fat pieces of the Anton and Yunnan chambers of commerce? Suddenly, all the dignitaries present were like sharks smelling blood, and Yang Zhao became excited one by one. This last hit also gave people a new understanding of the weirdness in the court at this time. Just now, Yang Zhao and Ye Chang attacked Wang together, and in the next moment, he joined hands with Wang to attack Ye Chang. This move is two-faced. It can really be said to be a joke. Prince Li Heng lowered his face to prevent his eyes from revealing his true thoughts. When Li Linfu was here, he didn't dare to move at all. Now that Li Linfu was here, he felt that he was being stared at. The eyes that looked at him seemed to be closed, so he gradually became active again. But he still had to restrain himself. As long as Li Longji, his father, did not die for a day, he would have to worry about Yang Zhao and others in front of him. Wang and Ye Chang fought together, which was exactly what he wanted to see. These three disgusting things finally died together. Among the people present, the one who was most worried about Ye Chang was Shou An. She waved her hand slightly, and she almost defended Ye Chang. How would Ye Chang respond? Ye Chang didn't say anything, but he strode forward and walked out of the queue: "I want to impeach the king for slandering his loyal minister and harboring evil intentions." Yuan Gongdao's face turned pale, but he knew that he had to stand up at this time. This was his promise to Ye Chang, and it was also the order Ye Chang gave him. When moving to impeach the king, Ye Chang did not expect that the king would talk about the relationship between arithmetic and astronomy, but since he pushed Yuan Gongdao to the position of censor Zhongcheng, how could he let this chess piece go unused? Li Longji only felt that it was a big headache? Rudou, at this time, he missed Li Linfu a little. If Li Linfu was here, how could these people be like this? They are all so honest and well-behaved. However, the current prime minister is an old guy like Chen Xilie who is shrinking at this time. , trying his best to make himself inconspicuous, just watching the commotion. "I want to impeach the king. I am not loyal to the king and harbor evil intentions." Yuan Gongdao said again, "Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, Seng Yixin, etc. were all great for me at the beginning. The loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty worked hard and achieved great results, and received many praises from the late emperors and saints. The arithmetic skills of these three people were not taught by the Imperial Academy of Arithmetic Studies. The king was slandering others and falsely accusing these loyal ministers of being rebellious. This was his crime. Nowadays, it is freezing cold and the wind is freezing on the city. The king used a small gap to delay time and left the saint in the cold air. His unscrupulous intention is clearly exposed. This is his two sins." If nothing else, he still has the ability to mess around. When everyone heard what he said, some people couldn't help but laugh. They felt that the tense atmosphere here was diluted by his messing around. "You're talking nonsense, you guy." He is Ye Chang's lackey" Wang suddenly shouted. "Since teaching arithmetic can be implicated in private astronomy study, then Doctor Wang, you repeatedly pester me at the top of the city, why don't you harbor evil intentions? "Yuan Gongdao sneered: "The crime of Luo Zhi is the same as that of Junchen and Zhou Xing. Doctor Wang can do it, and so can Mr. Yuan." "Okay, okay, I want to make a noise at the court." Li Longji is really tired of it, and Yuan Gongdao's words really touched his heart. It was cold in the city. He didn't notice it when he was watching the excitement, but now it was very obvious when he listened to these arguments.
