Chapter 224: The impulse for the answer

On the third day, the imperial examination was held as usual, compared with the first day, the second day, and the third day, there were fewer people, and most of them couldn't stand the smell after Zhang Da'an's order to hand in the papers first on the second day, and went out one after another, leaving some people who continued to write, staying in the examination room for the exam.

The last question, the country and the people are safe, internal and external troubles, the country is stable, and the people have begun to live a happy life, but they can't be taken lightly, there are internal worries and external troubles, what are the internal worries? If you don't give it carefully, what is the external problem? It was not given out, relying on personal imagination and concern for the empire.

This last question is a simple essay question, anyone can do it, anyone can blow it, just like our current essay question, give a proposition, and then two esoteric words, let you interpret it, what it looks like, it depends on how well you write and how you have insight.

These are irreplaceable things for others, and they are also what Li Zhi wants, what kind of talent he needs, he knows it himself, others can't guess it, everything depends on what is written on the exam paper.

Yang Jiong hesitated for a long time, he thought about this question for a long time, what is the internal worry? What is an external threat? The first thing that came to mind in his mind was not anything, nor Guanwai, but Li Zhou, and the salary cut, for some reason, his head was always full of the appearance of the two of them, the scene of parting.

Why are they leaving? Was it voluntary or forced? The answer is obvious, thinking about why they left like that, why didn't they have worries and troubles, they were forced to leave, one was forced to leave by reality, their father died, died on the battlefield, and their bones were not cold, all of this doesn't explain internal and external troubles?

He thought about it, do you write this? After hesitating for a long time, he picked up the pen, put it down, picked it up again, hesitated for a quarter of an hour, this quarter of an hour seemed to be a long time, and after a sigh, he put it down again, and the pen did not stop on the table for long, he picked it up again, and his hesitant face showed a little more firmness, a little more impulsiveness.

"Write and write, nothing to be afraid of? It's a big deal to go to Li Zhe. โ€

Ruthlessly, Yang Jiong picked up the pen and began to write on the white paper: Gai Wenzhi, Yu Zhi's friends are three or two, one is busy with the world and retreats, and the other is derogatory for the real struggle.

The minister writes here, not for anything else, all for a sincere heart, my heart is still there, not afraid of the cold wind, not afraid of power, internal and external troubles, these two harm the country deeply, the country is weak, the court is weak, all of them are so-called.

If the minister wants the country to be prosperous and strong, he must solve internal and external troubles.

The ministers are courageous, Your Majesty wants talents to be crowded, the empire is strong, and internal and external troubles must be solved.

Courage ,............

Courage ,..................

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Several ministers in a row dared to speak out his heart, feeling unfair for Li Zhouhe's salary cut, and feeling cold for the world, he had to say that even if he lost the election this time, he still had to say this, because he was Yang Jiong.

Wang Bo is different, internal and external troubles, what internal and external troubles can there be, the country is strong, this sentence is just an empty word, I have been in the Tang Dynasty since Taizong, how can there be any crisis, alarmist.

So, Wang Bo wrote: Since Taizong, I have been in the Tang Dynasty, all countries have surrendered, all are pious, my dynasty is famous, and its reputation is overseas, whether it is Tubo or Murowei, no one is convinced.

The student didn't say anything about him, as soon as I went out to the million army, how could I ever be afraid?

Destroy the Turks, collect Guhun, after Taizong, who else?

Who else?

This is too much, omit who else, in short, it is that meaning, it is so arrogant, everything that is good for my Tang Dynasty, list the amounts one by one, from Taizong's record to Gaozong Li Zhi's record, what economic prosperity and the like, to sum up, it is just one sentence, sycophancy.

And it's a good sycophant, even if I don't write well, you won't let me lose the election, right? Unless you don't agree with my praise, Wang Bo is the idea, so that you have nothing to say.

And other scholars, such as Song Zhiwen, wrote some suggestions very gently, did not dare to be too upright, and did not conform, the good and the bad, sleek and impeccable, not to mention Luo Bingwang, the old Xiucai, the old slippery one, stared at His Majesty's mind, and wrote in the direction he thought, as many as he wanted, he knew that this time His Majesty attaches great importance to it, and it would be better to be able to write it in His Majesty's heart.

The scholars are like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, you have your understanding, and I have sycophants, depending on who is better.

Soon, when the exam time ended, Zhang Da'an came out again, opened his mouth and said loudly: "Stop writing and collect the papers." โ€

"Shhh

After putting away the test papers of the last scholars, Zhang Da'an waved his hand to let the scholars go back, and the scholars packed up their things one after another and left directly, leaving behind their obscenities, stinking, Zhang Da'an had a black face, looked at the hall that had become a latrine, and said with annoyance: "You stay, clean up here." โ€

"Yes, sir."

The few people who were named had stinky faces and were very displeased, but they didn't dare to refute the adult's order, Zhang Da'an took people to another place, closed doors to revise the papers, so many test papers, they have to finish tomorrow, and then submit them to Your Majesty, this is a difficult job, it needs to be overnight, Your Majesty's side can't wait, he can't delay any longer.

Last time, His Majesty was already very dissatisfied with him, and this time he couldn't say anything like that, he directly ordered: "You all pay attention to this official, within tomorrow, you must correct these test papers, select the best ten points to submit to Your Majesty, and there are some places that have been selected, one cannot be less, all give this official a serious point." โ€

"Tomorrow? My lord, are you a little anxious, this is more than 20,000 test papers, not something that can be revised in a moment and a half, at least seven days, a day, isn't it some? โ€

One of the officials was not happy, this is more than 20,000 test papers, not ten or twenty copies, it's not that you can hurry up if you want to, just these people, less than ten people, revise so many test papers, one person has to revise at least 2,000 test papers, this is a test paper, not a fold.

"Yes, sir, are you a little anxious?"

"My lord, one day really can't be done."

It's not that they want to resist and delay time, but it's really a bit impossible, they also want to revise it quickly, but the speed is not so fast, Zhang Da'an glared at them fiercely, and said directly: "I don't care what you do, I just need the result, one day, not a single point, Your Majesty has already given an order, if you don't complete it, it will be against the king's order." โ€

"When the time comes, it's not like you can solve it with two complaints, I don't think you still want to talk nonsense, do you?" Zhang Da'an directly moved out of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, this move out, it really worked, those adults who were still unwilling to look down, bowed their heads to pack up the test papers, divided the work, one person a little, and began to revise the papers seriously, too lazy to talk so much nonsense with him.

Who wants to talk nonsense anymore, Your Majesty has given orders, what can they do, they can only be hard.

Outside, it was lively, many family members were waiting outside, and when they saw their children, either the father-in-law, or the young master, came out, jumped in front of the families, and asked for warmth for a while, and saw the haggard on their faces, and were very worried: "Son, how did you do in the exam?" Have faith? โ€

"Hey." The gentleman shook his head and got into the carriage and left directly, there were many people who also reacted, leaving lonely, Yang Jiong just walked out, and a classmate and friend walked out in front of him, very skillfully put his shoulder on his shoulder, and asked worriedly: "Brother Yang, how did you do in the exam?" You alright? That question didn't bother you, did it? โ€

Yang Jiong smiled bitterly and didn't express any opinions, the scholar saw Daxi and said: "Sure enough, Brother Yang is Brother Yang, I can't wait, that question is difficult for me and others, I asked the students of our Guozijian, and there are few people who can answer, none of these people are not arithmetic, Brother Yang, you are the first person in our Guozijian." โ€

Yang Jiong said modestly: "I have won awards, in fact, I am not very good at it, and I am blind." โ€

"Brother Yang, you, don't I know yet? You must have seen it in Yeshi, that question is not difficult for you, tell me any solution in the end, I can't understand it now? โ€

Yang Jiong looked left and right, those students of Guozijian looked eager, he knew in his heart that he couldn't escape today, and said slowly: "It's not very difficult, as long as you know how to distinguish, tie the two front feet of the rabbit with a rope and regard them as one foot, and the two hind feet are also tied with a rope and regard them as one foot, then the rabbit becomes two legs, that is, the rabbit is first regarded as a chicken with two legs." The total number of feet of chickens and rabbits is 35ร—2=70 (only), which is 94-70=24 (only) less than the 94 mentioned in the question.

Now, undo the rope on a rabbit's foot, the total number of feet will increase by 2, that is, 70 + 2 = 72 (only), and then loosen the rope on the foot of a rabbit, the total number of legs will increase by 2, 2, 2 ......, and so on until it increases by 24, so the number of rabbits: 24รท2 = 12 (birds), so that the chicken has 35-12 = 23 (only). โ€

"Ah, there are 12 rabbits and 23 chickens?"

After hearing Yang Jiong's explanation, the group regretted it, it turned out to be like this, although they didn't know how to solve it, but when they heard what the answer was, they suddenly looked sad and left dimly, without the enthusiasm at the beginning, after Yang Jiong finished speaking, he found that the people around him were very unkind, and they couldn't wait to eat him, he knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he immediately slipped away.

And not far from them, a pair of eyes watched him leave, muttering: "Can't see it, is this Yang Jiong still a little Taoist?" โ€
