17. Knife test (medium)
Jiang Shuiyuan asked rhetorically: "What about the other years? Have you counted all the other years?"
"It's even more impossible in other years!"
Jiang Yuanyuan said: "That's not necessarily! β
"What else do you want? The answer is already a certainty. You don't dare to admit defeat and deliberately try to delay time, right?"
Jiang Shuiyuan ignored Yan Shutong's hissing and screaming, but closed his eyes and said slowly, "It seems...... Let me tell you, count them and see how many years there are in the year of Wuyin in the lunar calendar in 618 AD? The fourteenth year of the great cause of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, the second year of Yining of Emperor Gong of Sui, the first year of Huangtai of Yang Tong of Yue, the first year of Wude of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, the second year of Ding Chou and the first year of Wufeng of Dou Jiande, the second year of Yongping of Li Mi, the second year of Tianxing of Liu Wuzhou, the second year of Yonglong of Liang Shidu, the fourth year of Changda of Zhu Cang, the third year of Taiping of Lin Shihong, the second year of Qin Xing of Xue Ju, and the second year of Mingfeng of Xiao Millingββ"
Qiao Yinuo and the little fat man shouted in unison: "It's already 13!"
"There are also the second year of Zhengping of Guo Zihe, the first year of Tianshou of Yu Wenhua, the first year of Anle of Li Rail, the first year of Shixing of Gao Kaidao, the first year of Gao Tansheng, the fifth year of Yihe of Gaochang Lu, and the second year of Cao Wuche who does not know if he can live to the year of Wuyin. How many are there?"
Qiao Yinuo cheered and said, "Counting the last one, there are exactly 20! There are 8 more than the previous 12!"
Jiang Shuiyuan nodded: "According to this calculation, not to mention the Wuyin year of the lunar calendar in 618 AD, which is the year of Ding Chou in 617 AD, I am afraid that there are more than 12 era names used." It can be seen that the first two are by no means the correct answers. β
Qiao Yinuo shook Jiang Shuiyuan's arm like a fan girl, with a smile on his face: "No wonder Grandpa and Grandpa Ji praised you to the sky, it turned out that you were really super powerful." For so many years in Chinese history, every year and so many years, I feel dizzy when I read it, but you are so handsome that you have no friends, is there a key to being so smart and so handsome, how many girls will I have to charm in the future? It's over, if I really marry you in the future, I won't have to worry all day long, and I will have insomnia for a lifetime?"
Shi Yang was also like seeing the black whirlwind of Brother Gongming, and he couldn't wait to bow his head and bow: "Your memory is simply not human! No wonder when I filled in the form back then, I couldn't fill in the reward column, but you wrote several pages freely, and you can throw me eight streets with this memory alone." Mr. Jiang, do you still lack a little brother? I am very slippery in pouring tea and water, washing and sweeping the floor, and making beds, so please allow me to call me a big brother!"
Jiang Shuiyuan looked at Yan Shutong: "Otherwise, forget this question, you can make a new one, right?"
Yan Shutong's face turned pale: "Forget it, why forget it? It's because you didn't answer it just now, and you admit defeat in person, and it's not that there is a problem with my topic." Why do you want to re-emerge?"
Qiao Yinuo looked at Yan Shutong with disdain: "I can't even make trouble, and I dare to take it out to test others, is it interesting?"
Yan Shutong stiffened his neck and said, "I didn't stipulate that I would be able to answer my own questions before." Besides, who knows if the era names he just mentioned were made up by him?"
Jiang Shuiyuan sneered: "Otherwise, except for Cao Wuche's era name 'Tongsheng', the remaining nineteen era names in 618 AD can be picked and asked casually, and I promise to give reliable historical evidence." If I can't give it or deliberately fabricate it, I lose the whole game. If your question is invalid, you lose. How?"
Qiao Yinuo also said, "Don't you think you have doubts?
"No!" Yan Shutong may feel that this seems more cowardly, and immediately explained: "There is a saying that 'a gentleman is a word, and a horse is difficult to chase', obviously he has already admitted defeat before, and he has tried every possible way to find excuses to overturn the case, but he obviously can't afford to lose." If you can't afford to lose, don't play, and if you do, you must be willing to gamble and lose. Is it not a man like you, who is untrustworthy and rebellious?"
"That's not interesting. Jiang Shuiyuan picked up the chopsticks, "It's not interesting, but the game has to go on." You move on to the next question!"
Yan Shutong straightened his suit and lifted his spirits: "Since Your Excellency is so familiar with era names, then I will ask a similar question, which era name was used the most by emperors in Chinese history?"
Jiang Shuiyuan pondered for a moment: "Your question is not good. β
"Why is it bad? Could it be that you are blaming all the problems you don't know are bad problems?"
"Then let me ask you a question first, which emperors do you think the name Jianlong has used?"
"Jianlong, Jianlong, Jianlong has Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, and, there are...... Wait a minute, now I'm asking you a question, why are you asking me instead? If you can, say the answer, if you don't, throw in the towel. Don't waste everyone's time!"
Jiang Shuiyuan smiled and slowly picked up a green oily wheat vegetable from the vegetable plate: "The reason why I ask you this question is because it is directly related to how to answer your question. That's right, Jianlong is the name of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also the first era name of the Northern Song Dynasty, from the first month of the lunar calendar in 960 A.D. to the first month of the lunar calendar in 960 A.D. Jiazi changed to Yuan Qiande, which was used for less than four years. But we must also take into account that at that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue, and Nanping were all Fengzhong Zhengshuo and used the Northern Song Dynasty era name, that is, during this period of time, Li Jing, the Southern Tang Dynasty Yuanzong, Li Yu, the later lord, Qian Hongyu, the king of Wuyue, and Gao Baorong, Gao Baoxuan, and Gao Jichong, the kings of Nanping, all used the era name Jianlong. Therefore, I want to ask you, how many emperors should be considered to have used the name Jianlong?"
Qiao Yinuo pouted and said, "If you don't say it, I'm afraid he won't know that there is still such a situation." I'm also drunk when I encounter this kind of confused examiner who is known for his faintness!"
"Cut, how could I not know? Of course I do!" Yan Shutong defended loudly, "I just want to see if he doesn't know anything about the use of special era names in history." β
Qiao Yinuo sneered: "Cooked duck - hard mouth!"
Jiang Shuiyuan asked impatiently: "You haven't said how it was calculated!"
Yan Shutong's eyes blinked a few times: "Of course, it's right to count 1, and it's okay to add it up, you have to divide it into two situations and say the most used era names." β
Jiang Shuiyuan replied in response: "If you count the situation where the separatist forces follow the era names of others, it should be the most 'Tiancheng', and if you don't count, it is the most 'Jianping'. I wonder if it matches your statistical results?"
Yan Shutong said: "If the kiss doesn't match, I won't say it first." You haven't made it clear which emperors have used the era names 'Tiancheng' and 'Jianping', how do I know if you are honest and have historical evidence?"
Qiao Yinuo's eyes were already full of disdain: "You ask him which era name he uses the most, and the result of his answer is, how did you get it from caring about others? Could it be that when you are a teacher, when you change the fill-in-the-blank questions, you have to ask the students to write the solution process next to the fill-in-the-blank questions? You can't help but be too lenient, right? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you guess, people can guess the correct answer from a large number of year names, that is also your ability! Can you manage it?"
Yan Shutong said: "When we do scholarship and research, we must not only know what it is, but also why it is so. I asked him if the process was not good? It's like a solution question or proof question in a math test paper, if you just write an answer and there is no process, will the teacher give you a mark?"
Jiang Shuiyuan's chopsticks clicked on the plate: "I don't care if you choose to fill in the blanks or answer the proof question, I only know that if you ask again, it will be the next question." And if I'm not mistaken, the next question should be asked by me, and my question is which emperors in history used the era names of 'Tiancheng' and 'Jianping'?
"Uh......" Yan Shutong was speechless.
