Sure enough, I only heard Yang Zheng smile, hugged his fist at Shen Gongzi and said, "Dare to ask Shen Gongzi what poems and books he recites on weekdays?"

Shen Gongzi is the first prince of Hangzhou, and he reads a lot of poetry and books on weekdays, but seeing Yang Zheng's smiling expression, somehow, he felt a little uneasy, and thought about it: "Back to Your Highness, the grass people mostly read the four books and five classics of Confucian classics on weekdays?" After speaking, he glanced at Yang Zheng and snorted coldly: "I don't think you can make any tricks?"

Everyone looked curious, but no one asked.

The Four Books refer to the "University", "The Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius"; the Five Classics refer to the "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", referred to as "Poems, Books, Rites, Yi, Spring and Autumn", in fact, there should have been six classics, and a "Book of Music", collectively known as "Poems, Books, Rites, Music, Yi, Spring and Autumn", but later died in the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and only the Five Classics remained. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination was only allowed to be propositions within the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics, and the style was strictly limited to the Eight Strands, and the candidates could not give full play to their personal opinions. Therefore, most of the students of the Ming Dynasty buried themselves in the Four Books and Five Classics, and Shen Gongzi's answer can be said to be ingenious.

But Yang Zheng seemed to have been prepared early in the morning, and did not show any surprised look, but just bowed his head and continued to ask: "Then among the four books and five classics of Shen Gongzi, which one is your favorite to read?"

Shen Gongzi was a little unsure, but seeing Yang Zheng's appearance, he was really a little worried, hesitated for a moment, and said carefully: "Naturally, it's the Analects."

Everyone nodded, the Four Books are the basic ideological system of Confucianism, and they are the most important documents for the study and governance of Confucianism. It was from this point of view that Zhu Xi compiled the four books "Analects", "Mencius", "University", and "The Mean" together. Because they are derived from the four representative figures of early Confucianism, Confucius, Zeng Shen, Zisi, and Mencius, they are called "Four Books", or "Four Books" for short. Zhu Xi made annotations on these four books, among them, the annotations of the "University" and "The Mean" are called "chapters and sentences", and the annotations of the "Analects" and "Mencius" are called "collection notes" because they quote more from others. Originally, the order of the Four Books compiled by Zhu Xi was originally "The University", "The Analects", "Mencius", and "The Mean", which were arranged in the order of advanced study. Because of the short length of "University" and "The Mean", in order to facilitate the writing and publication, later generations mentioned "The Mean" before the "Analects", and became the order of "University", "The Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius" that were common in the previous year. Because Zhu Xi's annotated "Four Books" not only integrated the doctrines of his predecessors, but also had his own unique views, which were useful to the world; and because of the rising status of "Cheng Zhu Lixue" represented by Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi's brothers, and Zhu Xi, after Zhu Xi's death, the imperial court approved the "Four Books" annotated by him as an official book. The Analects was recorded and organized by the students of Confucius and his successors. Involving philosophy, politics, economy, education, literature and many other aspects, the content is very rich, is the most important classic of Confucianism, the chief examiner of the Ming Dynasty extracted the test questions of the imperial examination, over time, the initial order has also changed, "Analects" slowly became the first of the four books, by many students as a must-read classic for the imperial examination, so Shen Gongzi replied, it is decent.

Yang Zheng nodded: "Shen Gongzi often reads the Analects, and according to Shen Gongzi's talent, presumably this "Analects" must be familiar with the chest?"

"The Analects" is a must-read for scholars in the imperial examination, Shen Gongzi has not read it less, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is familiar with the chest, and he said with a proud expression: "This is natural?"

Yang Zheng's face was filled with a faint smile, and the smile slowly became playful, he was not playing the role of a teacher or a parent in his previous life, but digging a pit, digging a seemingly simple and unanswerable pit, the source of this pit reminded him of a story.

In his previous life, he had heard that in the Qing Dynasty, there was a writer Bi Yuan, who was a governor in Shaanxi, and one day he went to the temple to stay and saw a monk reciting scriptures, so he asked him: "How many 'Amitabha' are there in a Lotus Sutra?" The monk said, "I am a stupid person and I don't know this." Adults are celestial music stars, very smart, must know how many 'Zi Yue' there are in a "Analects", right?" Bi Yuan couldn't answer. Because there are so many "Zi Yue", no one has counted them. And this is his topic, and he believes that this extremely simple topic will definitely have a different effect.

Yang Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I have to ask Shen Gongzi, in a "Analects", I don't know how many sentences of 'Zi Yue'?"

Shen Gongzi was stunned, and everyone was stunned.

The eldest lady's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with a touching smile, which was like a spring breeze, quickly blowing the surface of the lake and bringing ripples.

"I'll just say, how can this bad guy have such a good heart, a "Analects" is mostly a classic of questions and answers between sages and students, and everyone has questions and answers, and there are contacts between them. The ghost only knows how many "Zi Yue", isn't this bad guy sincere?"

After a while, Shen Gongzi snorted coldly and said: "Your Highness is really good, this question is much more wonderful than the next topic, but His Highness can't help but underestimate Shen, "Analects" is the words of a sage, Shen has already recited it countless times, "Zi said" There are two hundred and one sentences?

Yang Zheng seems to have expected this result for a long time, and did not show half a point of surprise, there are twenty articles in the "Analects", the first ten are called "The Upper Analects", and the last ten are called "The Lower Analects". For example, the first sentence of "Learning and Learning" is "Learning and Learning", and the first sentence of "Politics is the second" is "Politics and Virtue", and the number of chapters is different. "Analects" is the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, mainly memorized, the word "Zi Yue" can be seen everywhere in the book, except for the "Township Party Chapter 10" is an exception, it records Confucius's daily life, diet and daily life, appearance and behavior, etc., and the whole text is a "Zi Yue" can not be found. In his previous life, when he was bored, he used to type the entire Analects into a blank document and replace it with a lookup. Two hundred and one?"

"Shen Gongzi is really good at learning, and he admires it deeply?" Yang Zheng praised with a smile.

Shen Gongzi hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness has won the prize?

Yang Zheng was still smiling, and he didn't feel half displeased, but continued to ask: "Then may I ask Shen Gongzi how many sentences of "Zi Yue" in a "Four Books and Five Classics"?"

"This-?"

How many sentences of a "Analects", he can calculate, it is because of the familiarity and chest, even if he is familiar with a book of four books and five classics, but he will not do such a boring thing, this question really stopped him, and only after a while did he understand that the so-called simplicity is actually not simple, and the so-called difficulty is not necessarily the most difficult one.

At this time, everyone also understood, and the eyes of dozens of people fell on Yang Zheng's body, only to feel that the prince in front of him was full of magic, and a book of four books and five classics could make the dignified Shen Gongzi speechless.

Li Yan'er on the stage completely exhaled this time, thought about Yang Zheng's question carefully, and suddenly laughed with a snort, and said: "This bad guy is really a lord who refuses to suffer, he doesn't ask the moral articles of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and asks such a boring question, who would be a reader to do such a boring question?"

The eldest lady also said with joy on her face at this time: "No, this bad guy likes to make some weird questions, which makes people angry and funny."

Li Yan'er giggled, "Isn't it?" The two laughed together.

At this time, everyone on the field looked at Shen Gongzi in unison, because Shen Gongzi was a complete failure in this game, and it would be shameless to find any excuse.

Shen Gongzi's face was red and white for a while, he didn't expect Yang Zheng to come up with a very difficult topic, but when the topic came out, he was shocked to realize that the other party's question was not only difficult, but even a little boring, but people couldn't answer, this kind of humiliation made him angry from the bottom of his heart, he was the first son of Hangzhou, he thought that with his own name, he won the leader of this pro-family banquet, and then married Miss Li, which became a good story in Hangzhou, and his reputation was pushed forward as always, from a son to a genius, who thought that he was frustrated everywhere along the way, and now he was humiliated in front of him, so ashamed, so arrogant for him, Some famous sons say that it is even more uncomfortable for him to be killed, but the other party is the prince, the prince of the country, even if he is dissatisfied in a thousand ways, he can only bear this breath.

The happiest person on the field should be Yang Zheng, although this situation was unexpected early on, but with the variable of Shen Gongzi, it was somewhat thrilling, glanced at Li Yan'er who was full of charm on the stage, shook the paper fan and sighed: "Little wife, if it weren't for your husband's wit and cleverness, you would be someone else's today, and you will love your husband well later?"

Li Yan'er on the stage seemed to feel something, and smiled at him, which looked like a handful of spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which quickly moistened Yang Zheng's heart that was still a little annoyed just now.

"My day, this girl's coquettish appearance is really seductive, Lao Tzu is guessing lantern riddles today, and chanting poems right, and suffering from a belly of bird gas, finally not in vain, can fight this little girl's charming smile, it is also worth it, if you come to some fragrant Yan, then make a lot of money?" Yang Zheng looked sassy and imaginative.
