Chapter 293: Bibi Brain
Jiang Chang'an was vigilant, as early as last night, he had learned all the information from Situ Yuning, how could he be deceived so simply?
Jiang Changan said with a smile: "I think His Royal Highness King Gong has been working a lot lately, and he has only heard of the Winter Wind Courtyard. ”
"I see. Xia Ji patted his head, as if he had just learned the news, "It seems that it is really due to lack of brain power and fatigue recently." ”
Xia Ji's face showed a look of waiting for this sentence and a long time, Jiang Changan secretly said that it was not good, so he heard Xia Ji say: "This king suddenly has an idea, since it is a competition, let's have something interesting, how can it be done like this, the prince Jue is very intelligent, one thousand taels is too stingy, who can come up with a topic that can stump the prince Jue, this king will reward him with 10,000 taels of gold!"
Wow –
Many bachelors were in an uproar, and the gap between ten thousand taels of gold and one thousand taels of gold could even be seen by fools, not to mention these "masters" who studied academics.
Pits! Big pits! Unfathomable pits!
Jiang Changan's face was still free, but there was an urge to scold people in his heart. Xia Ji's posture was clearly the Hongmen banquet that came to him.
Before entering the door, he threw out a reward of 1,000 taels of gold, which was just a foreshadowing. That's only a few paces away, a full tenfold increase, and it doesn't seem abrupt to say the number. This is not just a big pit, but also a chain of pits, and when you step on the first one, a second one will come out.
Despite this, Jiang Changan still asked with a smile: "I wonder if His Royal Highness wins, what will His Royal Highness King Gong do?"
When all the scholars heard this, they all showed a hint of ridicule, seven or eight people faced a prince who was in poor health and couldn't even lift a pen, even if it was more than the things in his head, he was confident that he would weigh a few points or two more than the prince Jue.
Xia Jidao smiled contemptuously, he didn't expect this option, but he still said: "Prince Jue is really confident in himself, it's okay, if you don't take some things, this matter will also damage the reputation of my Gongwang Mansion, lest outsiders say that this king is a big bully, haha, come on......"
Behind her, a young and beautiful maid walked slowly, holding a boxy mahogany plate in her hand, which was covered by a silk scarf and red silk, slightly raised, and I don't know what was in it.
"Open. Xia Ji commanded.
The maid gently lifted the red silk, and in the mahogany plate lay a piece of gold silk, shaped like a tile, bent up a just right arc, on which the silver water was carved with dense small characters, gold and silver interlaced, the supreme vessel.
"It's ......"
Seeing this, several scholars couldn't be calm, and a few people jumped up from their seats excitedly, wanting to see the true face of the treasure.
"No guilt......, no fault! Could this be the golden silk of innocence?!" The young and vigorous bachelor bowed his head and touched his ears, his eyes blazing.
Even Zhen Yunqing raised his eyebrows when he saw this thing, and he was a little worried.
It seemed that the reaction on the field had achieved the effect he wanted, Xia Ji smiled and said: "This innocent golden silk is given by Your Majesty today, the king's father at the crown ceremony of the little king, taken from the 'innocent and no fault', made into two pieces of Xuanjin, one 'innocent golden silk' was given to the king, and the other was given to Princess Jingling, named 'Wuguo Golden Silk'." Although the names of the two golden silks are different, they are the same, as long as I am a person from Xia Zhou Kingdom, anyone holding this piece of gold silk can be pardoned and innocent except for the major crime of rebellion!"
This is a gold medal of innocence!
Before Jiang Chang'an could happen, he felt that the air in the hall was more enthusiastic than just now, and all the people's eyes were on the golden silk, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.
At this moment, the eyes of these high-level animals undoubtedly show the ugliest side of human nature - greed!
The smell of gunpowder is stronger!
Jiang Chang'an showed a look of shock on his face, but he kept scolding in his heart. For anyone else here, this golden silk is a big gift that is out of reach, but for Jiang Chang'an, who is now the prince of Jue, it is a piece of chicken ribs, which is also Xia Ji's purpose, to repay the "chicken ribs" humiliation with what he just said!
Xia Ji has already made it very clear, although it is a golden silk to avoid death, it is only used by people in Xia Zhouguo. Once Jiang Chang'an takes it, under the impetus of Xia Ji, it is expected that the news will spread throughout the entire Dongling Kingdom within three days, which is undoubtedly to tell the world that the prince Jue is willing to admit that the Dongling Kingdom is weaker than Xia Zhou, and is willing to use the Xia Zhou Kingdom's exoneration golden silk, and this matter will definitely leave a lot of tongue and make a big fuss in the Xia Zhou Kingdom.
You can't lose this fight, but you can't win it!
Jiang Changan realized that he had fallen into a huge trap and was in a dilemma!
"How about it? What does Prince Jue think of this king's idea? If you lose, you only need to punish yourself three cups, if you win three questions in a row, this holy relic is Prince Jue's, how about it?" Xia Ji looked at the maid who bowed her head and trembled, and said with a smile: " By the way, if the prince of Jue wins this golden silk, this maid will also belong to the prince of Jue, this maid is a famous singer who was bought by the king at a great price, and she can't help but look beautiful, this voice can also sing a few paragraphs, and when you go back, you can also serve the prince of Jue comfortably, hehe......"
To put it bluntly, the one who sings a little song is a prostitute, and he asks a woman with the status of a maid to dress up as a prince, Xia Ji clearly wants to embarrass him!
"Then what if I lose, what will happen to this girl?" Jiang Changan asked. The many scholars sitting on the seat were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, they were laughing, laughing and not expecting a dignified prince to care about the life and death of a maid.
Xia Ji and the maid thought that Jiang Changan was joking, and they didn't take it too seriously in order to laugh at the bachelors, but who knew that only the maid and Jiang Changan didn't laugh in the room.
Jiang Changan's expression was thick, and he asked again: "If I lose, what will happen to her?" His Highness doesn't want to ask a third time!"
Only then did everyone discover that this prince Jue, who covered his mouth with a handkerchief from time to time and coughed lightly, actually had a domineering momentum on his body.
For the first time since entering the main hall, the maid mustered up the courage to raise her head slightly, she was not beautiful, she could only be regarded as a medium appearance, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a goose egg face, wearing a light red service dress that was no different from that of an ordinary maid, but those eyes actually revealed the purity of the world, this is a very strange thing, most of the eyes of the place where she has lived in the Goolan kiln for a long time are despair of life, it can never be like this.
When she looked at Jiang Chang'an, the face of the prince of Jue, the first thing that came out of the maid's eyes was not gratitude, but a sense of déjà vu, she had a doubt in her heart, and then all her emotions turned into hope, no matter who she was, as long as she could escape from this mansion, she was willing to repay her by being a cow or a horse.
Xia Ji smiled: "Everyone in this world is born with his role, even if it is a dirty handkerchief or a broken jade chopstick, it has its unique meaning. And the meaning of this woman's birth is to come to my Gongwangfu, to be a bargaining chip for this gamble, if the prince Jue wins, he is yours, and the Gongwangfu has nothing to do with it, if the prince Jue loses, she will have no meaning to exist, this kind of person, living, isn't it a waste of food?"
What a crooked and righteous rhetoric, a big truth!
Jiang Changan couldn't help but evoke a sneer, the maid lowered her head humbly again, and her pitiful appearance made Jiang Changan think of a little maid, who was also trembling like this at that time.
"How is it?
Jiang Changan said lightly: "In this game, His Royal Highness bets!"
"Good. Xia Ji grabbed the wine cup floating in the stream, everyone followed, and said some innocuous words, drank this cup, and the game officially began!
A student sitting near Xia Ji was the first to stand up, holding a jade cup in his hand, and walked a few steps in a similar manner, earning enough eyes with the demeanor of everyone.
The student bowed down to Jiang Chang'an and said confidently: "Li Ling, a student in Xia Yizhou, has seen Prince Jue. Xiaosheng's topic is very simple, there is a question in "Sun Tzu's Arithmetic", there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage today, there are thirty-five heads on the top, and there are ninety-four feet under it.
Jiang Changan was stunned, this ...... Are you sure it's not a water release?
Just when Jiang Changan was stunned at the simplicity of the question, he found that many students were looking at him with a look at the mentally retarded, and it was no wonder that this question was not difficult in their eyes, even simple, but the Dongling Kingdom where the prince of Jue was located has always been called the "country of Dongyi", which is mainly a satire on the lack of scholars in the country.
Just as Jiang Changan was about to say the answer, a long voice came from outside the door: "Princess Jingling has arrived-"
