"What? Teacher Chen is also going to resign?"
In the study, Prince Ning frowned slightly. He looked at the white-haired old man in front of him and repeated what he had just said.
The old man sat on the chair and cupped his hands together as he said, "His Royal Highness is being taught by an expert. I can no longer teach him anything in the way of mathematics."
After talking with His Royal Highness in the morning, he had pretended that he was not feeling well and said that he would postpone his lessons. In fact, when he returned home, he had not slept at all. He had meticulously organized the contents of what His Royal Highness had said.
The Arabic numerals and the symbols for addition and subtraction were easy to write and could be used to calculate or calculate. It was much more convenient than the current methods. If it could be implemented, the field of mathematics would definitely be greatly developed.
As for the equations, the level of design was even more mysterious. Teacher Chen had studied mathematics for decades, so he could naturally see that it was extraordinary. What he had learned from His Royal Highness was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
As for the last question that His Royal Highness had "consulted" him, he had thought hard all night but could not solve it. Or perhaps he had tried to find an answer, but there was no convincing method.
Of course, he did not think that His Royal Highness had suddenly been enlightened and happened to show such amazing talent in mathematics that even an old man like him, who had studied this field for decades, would feel ashamed.
The only explanation was that His Royal Highness was being taught by an expert. As for how powerful this expert was, it was at least to the extent that he had to look up to him.
He thought about how Mister Wu had left in a hurry two days ago without even informing them. After two days of curiosity, Mister Chen figured out the reason for Mister Wu's resignation.
He was afraid that Teacher Wu had encountered the same situation as him.
With such an expert behind His Royal Highness, it was naturally better for him to resign early.
"Expert?"
When Prince Ning heard this, his face showed some surprise.
These days, His Royal Highness had been in the Prince's Residence, receiving guidance from the three teachers. Aside from them, who else could it be?
"Could it be Teacher Zhao?"
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a servant came to report that Teacher Zhao had asked to see him.
Prince Ning was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
He had not seen Teacher Zhao, but he had more or less understood what Teacher Zhao wanted to say.
"This old man has specially come to ask for Your Highness' resignation."
Teacher Zhao did not take a seat. After exchanging glances with Teacher Chen, Teacher Zhao went straight to the point.
Both Teacher Wu and Teacher Chen had resigned for some unknown reason, leaving Teacher Zhao alone. Naturally, he felt uneasy. After the two of them left, he would be next. Rather than being forced to do so, it would be better for him to leave early. At least, he could save some face.
The two headmasters were determined to leave. Prince Ning tried to persuade them to stay but to no avail, so he gave up on the idea. He sent someone to prepare a generous gift for the two and did not say anything more.
Inviting these teachers to teach the Crown Prince was just to sharpen his temper and get rid of his previous lazy and casual habits. It would be best if he could become mature and diligent …
However, it seemed that he had overestimated the abilities of these teachers.
"The application of mathematics is very broad. Astronomy, geography, architecture, taxation, and even food and fodder during battles are all inseparable from mathematics. If the Crown Prince's new method of counting can be implemented, it will be a blessing for the Jing Kingdom …"
Before Teacher Chen left, he said a few words to Prince Ning with a serious expression. He was very respectful of the Crown Prince's new method of counting. His words were sincere and sincere. If it was not for the difference in status and age, he might have turned to the Crown Prince to learn more advanced mathematics.
Although the Imperial Examination did not test one's ability in mathematics, the Directorate of Studies still maintained a course in mathematics. Every few years, the Directorate of Studies would recruit talented people in this field.
Teacher Chen had studied mathematics all his life, so he naturally knew the use of mathematics. It covered a wide range that others could not even imagine.
It was a pity that very few people could recognize this. Mathematics had never been valued by the imperial court, so it was naturally even more difficult to promote it.
Right now, there was no doubt that it was a rare opportunity to develop mathematics.
After the two of them left, a charming woman walked out from behind the screen in the study. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong with the two teachers? Is there any expert behind Little Xuan?"
Just now, when she was behind the screen, she was also confused by what she heard.
Yesterday, Teacher Wu's departure had already surprised her. He said that there was nothing he could teach Little Xuan. What Teacher Chen said just now seemed to be what he meant …
"Hmph, there is no expert, but there is an extraordinary person," Prince Ning said coldly.
"What extraordinary person?" The confusion on Princess Ning's face deepened. She looked at Prince Ning and said angrily, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you keeping me in suspense?"
Prince Ning turned to look at her and asked, "Madam, do you remember Li Yi?"
"Of course I remember," Princess Ning said as she rolled her eyes.
She had a very deep impression of the young man who cured her of her depression, invented Ruyi dew and perfume, and saved the Emperor at the Prince's Mansion.
"Could it be him?" Then, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She said, "Does Your Highness mean that the expert who made the two teachers feel ashamed of their inferiority is that Li Yi?"
"Who else could it be other than him?" Prince Ning snorted again. There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Forget it. Since Little Xuan doesn't like it, let him be." Princess Ning waved her hand and said, "Because of that marriage, Little Xuan has been depressed for a long time. Let him decide these things himself."
"Marriage is an important matter. It is the order of the parents. Moreover, marrying into the Wang family is my brother …" Prince Ning stopped there and said.
"I can only let Little Xuan suffer," Princess Ning said with a sigh.
"There is nothing to suffer," Prince Ning said. Prince Ning said, "In terms of family background, talent, and appearance, MIngzhu of the Wang family is not worthy of him. Next year, he will be at the age of twenty. The marriage can't be delayed any longer."
A look of pity appeared in Princess Ning's eyes. She didn't want to continue this topic. She changed the topic and said, "Li Yi is about the same age as Little Xuan, but he has so many abilities. Every one of them is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Is there really a person who is born with knowledge in this world?"
He was the top talent of the Jing Kingdom. He excelled in both poetry and painting. The Ruyi dew, perfume, liquor, and the soap that Little Xuan gave her were all made by him.
Of course, his miraculous medical skills had even made her and the Emperor feel indebted to him. In terms of knowledge, Xuan 'er had only met him once, and the two knowledgeable teachers had resigned out of shame. All of this was related to a young man who was not even 20 years old. It was really unimaginable.
"I'm afraid only the heavens know whether there is a person who is born with knowledge in this world." King Ning said faintly, "However, his identity is much more interesting than I imagined."
Hearing this, Princess Ning became curious. "Hasn't Your Highness already investigated his identity? Could it be that there are other secrets?"
Prince Ning nodded. Ever since he got involved with his brother, he had to be more careful. Naturally, he couldn't treat him like before. He sent people to conduct a more detailed investigation. This time, he unexpectedly discovered something interesting.
However, the conversation between the two of them in the study was not heard by outsiders.
