Seeing Li Gaoming walk out of the Mo mansion with an imposing manner, Cheng Chumo could not help but feel choked up. It had been a long time since his friend had been so confident.
With this pair of shoes, although it did not directly cure Li Gaoming's leg disease, Li Gaoming could walk like an ordinary person as long as he did not run with big strides. He did not need to bear the strange gazes of others anymore. The pressure on Li Gaoming had been swept away.
"Thank you, Meton. You have no idea how much you have done and how much you have helped!" Cheng Chumo said excitedly, looking at Meton with an inexplicable gaze.
"He has too many things on his shoulders. The burden is too heavy. There should be no such insignificant criticism." Meton sighed.
Qin Huaiyu and the other two heard this and stared at Meton as if they had seen a ghost. They stammered, "You … you … you know his identity?"
Meton stared at them angrily and said, "His surname is Li. He has a leg disease and wants to learn mathematics. Cheng Chumo personally led him here. You tell me, do you think I don't know his identity?"
Cheng Chumo lowered his head in embarrassment. He was very embarrassed about hiding Li Gaoming's identity. After all, leading an unknown person into the Mo mansion was disrespectful to Meton. He did not expect that Meton had already guessed Li Gaoming's identity.
"You are right. Why didn't you say so earlier? You made me feel guilty for so long!" Cheng Chumo said with sophistry.
"You know who he is and you still let him give out flyers!" Qin Huaiyu opened his eyes wide and pointed at Meton.
"So what? He didn't reveal his identity. As friends, it's only right for us to help each other. Just like when I gave him a pair of shoes, he helped me distribute the flyers without asking for anything in return. What's wrong with that?" Morton said nonchalantly.
Haha, you are so generous! Qin Huaiyu and the other two were speechless.
Zu Mingjun looked at the four in confusion. However, he was smart and did not say anything. He just vaguely guessed something in his heart.
If it was really like what he thought, then Li Gaoming's identity would be too big.
In the carriage, Li Gaoming looked at the shoes on his feet with excitement. His leg disease had always been his biggest worry, and it had troubled him for many years. Now, it was so simple that it could be resolved.
"Mo Jiazi really lives up to his reputation! Not only is there something unique about mathematics, but there is also a wide range of miscellaneous subjects. " Li Gaoming's emotions surged. He felt like he had made the right decision by coming to the Mo clan personally this time.
The carriage drove all the way through the bustling Chang 'an City and arrived at the Northern City, where there were fewer and fewer people. Finally, they arrived at the Imperial City.
"Stop the carriage!" The Imperial City Guard shouted. He raised the weapon in his hand high in case of an accident.
The coachman, who had been inconspicuous all this time, flashed a token and threw it to the imperial guard.
One of the imperial guards took the token and his face was filled with panic. He turned around and waved his hand. All the guards put down their weapons and bowed.
The carriage passed through the Imperial City and stopped at the Eastern Palace. Palace maids and eunuchs were waiting neatly on both sides of the Eastern Palace. When they saw Li Gaoming get off the carriage, they hurriedly bowed.
"Welcome, Your Highness!"
Li Gaoming stood up proudly and strode into the Eastern Palace. His name was Li Gaoming. However, Gao Ming was only his courtesy name. He was the current Crown Prince, Li Chengqian. His courtesy name was Gao Ming.
Li Chengqian walked into the Eastern Palace like a normal person. However, the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground did not notice Crown Prince Li Chengqian at all. Now, he could walk like a normal person.
In the Eastern Palace.
Li Chengqian bent over the table and wrote furiously. He sorted out the Arabic numerals, the multiplication formula, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division that he had learned in the Mo clan.
After thinking for a long time, Li Chengqian picked up a memorial and analyzed the meaning and practical use of the Arabic numerals and the multiplication formula in detail, as well as the benefits to the future of the Tang dynasty.
After writing, Li Chengqian left the Eastern Palace and walked towards the inner court. He knew that at this time every day, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun would meet here.
"Your Highness!" Li Chengqian saw Pande waiting outside the inner court's Chengde Hall.
When he saw Li Chengqian walk in like a normal person, he could not help but open his mouth wide. He opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, you …"
Li Chengqian nodded slightly. He did not explain and said with a smile, "Imperial Father and Imperial Mother are inside, right?"
"Yes … Yes! Your Highness, please come in! How happy would His Majesty be to hear this news? "Pande said incoherently.
He had watched Li Chengqian grow up. Now that he saw Li Chengqian walk like a normal person again, he was just as excited.
As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian did not need to report to his Imperial Mother when he arrived at her residence. He immediately walked in.
Inside the hall.
Li Shimin was playing chess with Empress Zhangsun. He was about to win, but he found that his chess pieces were inexplicably missing. When he saw Empress Zhangsun covering her mouth and laughing secretly, he could not help but shake his head helplessly. Playing chess with women, it seemed that he would never win in this lifetime.
"Gao Ming is here!"
She saw Li Chengqian's figure from the corner of her eyes and quickly stood up to confuse the game.
"Greetings to Imperial Father and Imperial Mother!" Li Chengqian bowed and walked in.
Empress Zhangsun angrily glared at Li Shimin. She no longer had the motherly attitude of an outsider. In front of her son and husband, she did not need to wear that thick mask.
"Gao Ming, come quickly. Come to Imperial Mother's side. Your Imperial Father was acting shamelessly just now!" Empress Zhangsun teased.
Li Shimin felt helpless. It was obviously you who did not follow the rules. Li Gaoming also smiled slightly and walked to Empress Zhangsun's side.
Seeing Li Chengqian walking over steadily, Empress Zhangsun was immediately stunned. She said with a trembling voice, "Gao Ming! Your leg … "
Li Shimin saw Empress Zhangsun lose her composure. Only then did he notice that Li Chengqian was different. He had felt that it was a little strange before, but now he realized that Li Chengqian's walking had returned to normal.
"Gao Ming, what happened?" He knew that Li Chengqian had only left the palace for a trip, but after returning, his leg had recovered.
"Gao Ming, which godly doctor cured my son's leg? Zhen will definitely not be stingy with the reward! "Li Shimin said in surprise.
Li Chengqian's legs and feet were normal when he was young. It was only after an accident that he developed leg problems. However, Li Chengqian was the current crown prince. How could a disabled person be the future emperor? Therefore, Li Chengqian had always been criticized by others and was under great pressure. Even his behavior became somewhat eccentric.
However, which father didn't want their child to be healthy? Seeing Li Chengqian suddenly walk normally, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, you misunderstood. Your child's legs have not recovered."
"Then why are you walking normally all of a sudden!" Empress Zhangsun pulled Li Chengqian to her side with red eyes.
"That's because your child has this pair of shoes that Meton gave me." Li Chengqian showed the pair of shoes that didn't look the slightest bit different from the outside, revealing the mystery within.
The shoes that were commonly seen in the future actually perfectly solved Li Chengqian's problem.
"So that's how it is!" Li Shimin's mood fluctuated greatly. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If his child's legs could recover, how great would that be?
"At least Gao Ming can walk normally now. It's already not bad!" Empress Zhangsun said with satisfaction.
"In that case, Mo Jiazi really is zhen's lucky general. Not only did he give me the printing technique, he even covered up Gao Ming's leg problems." Li Shimin said happily.
Empress Zhangsun pulled Li Chengqian to her side with pity and asked him in detail about every little thing that happened in the Mo Estate.
"Indian numbers, multiplication mnemonic?" Li Shimin carefully looked at the memorials that Li Chengqian handed over. He couldn't help but nod his head when he saw the parts that made him excited.
India wasn't far from the Tang dynasty. During the Sui dynasty, there were already Indians who were officials in the imperial court. Li Shimin had also heard of Indian numbers, but he didn't expect that Indian numbers would develop like this in the hands of the Mo family.
"Not bad, not bad!" Li Shimin nodded his head.
"Gao Ming, since you have already learned these calculations, then you will be the one to teach these new calculations to your royal brothers!" Li Shimin ordered.
"Yes, Father!" Li Chengqian agreed.
Li Shimin nodded his head in satisfaction. He realized that ever since Li Chengqian recovered his ability to walk normally, his entire bearing had become more magnanimous.
Walking out of Chengde Hall, Li Chengqian couldn't help but let out a long sigh. It turned out that because of his leg problems, he couldn't keep his position as the Crown Prince. One could imagine the pressure he had to bear. After today, the heavy burden on his shoulders had disappeared.
Recovering his ability to walk normally was only the first step. More importantly, what Meton said to him before he left gave him great hope.
"In ancient times, once people got sick, they would resign themselves to fate. Now, there are countless prescriptions for various diseases in the hall. It turns out that some incurable diseases can be easily cured. Medical science is not very advanced. Maybe in a few years, your leg problems can be easily cured."
"It may take a hundred years or even a hundred years! But you don't have to worry. There is a miracle-working doctor in the Village of Mo who is a descendant of Hua Tuo. He specializes in treating external injuries. The next step of the Village of Mo's plan is to gather some excellent orthopedic doctors to study how to cure bone injuries. It may take a shorter time, maybe in eight or ten years. Even if it doesn't work, it can still benefit the future generations. "
Li Chengqian was suddenly enlightened and was extremely excited in his heart.
That's right! With his status, it was not a problem to gather as many excellent doctors as he wanted. He decided to help the Village of Mo to accelerate this process. Now that he had no problem walking, what if medical science developed in the future, his leg problems could be cured? Moreover, he could afford to wait for eight or ten years.
