The four envoys, you look at me, I look at you, very embarrassed. The questions asked by the children www.biquge.info "Fun" are very simple, they are common phenomena in daily life, but they just can't answer them! With a smile on his face, the envoy Watanabe said to Xuan'er, "Can the children give an answer?" ”

Xuan'er said dryly: "Can't! Don't take shortcuts from me, and ask others for advice when you go back, and you will definitely remember it very well at that time, and you won't cherish what you get easily. In this way, a few people are not busy answering, maybe when the inspiration comes, you will know the answer. Knowing the answer is a little more knowledge, so you don't have to learn from me, right? The father-in-law had already written it down. I came up with the second question, and listened: Why are all tree trunks round? Ask the father-in-law to write it down. ”

The four envoys were stuck again. After growing dozens of years, you can see trees almost when you go out, whether it is a big tree or a small tree, it is true that the trunk is round, and none of them are square or triangular, but why? This kid must know, how did he know? So the big eyes stared at the small eyes, all dry eyes, and couldn't answer!

"In order not to lose time, I will ask the third question, why do sunflowers always face the sun?"

"This ......" The eyes of the four envoys all looked to the ground, probably looking for a crack in the ground and trying to get in.

In fact, not to mention foreign envoys, even Emperor Shunzhi and his civil and military ministers couldn't answer.

The prince whispered to Xuan'er: "Ask something else, or Mr. Envoy will be too embarrassed." ”

"Ask something else? Okay, the above is a common-sense question, and the following is an entertaining question. It should be the fourth question, right? Listen, that's it, I'll slow down, this father-in-law will write it down. The title is like this, there is a Chinese character, everyone will mispronounce it, what is it? ”

This question is clearly addressed to the Watanabe envoys, and the others are laymen to the kanji.

Watanabe's face was flushed, he had studied Chinese characters for more than 20 years, and there was almost nothing he didn't recognize, but everyone would pronounce it wrong, this word must be very obscure, how could everyone read it wrong? Isn't there a fixed pronunciation? Watanabe's head swelled and he couldn't come up with an answer. There are four or five thousand commonly used Chinese characters, how can you suddenly think of this word and make a mistake?

In fact, Watanabe has closed himself in a conventional mind, and none of the brainteasers are played according to common sense. The word Xuan'er asked is the word "wrong" itself, who can not pronounce it as wrong? It's not that it's wrong, it's wrong.

The ministers of the Qing Dynasty were also like Watanabe, racking their brains to think of the answer, and it felt as if the answer was not difficult, but why couldn't they find the edge? This son of Lord Rui is really amazing, at such a young age, he has such a deep knowledge? Shame, shame!

"Did the father-in-law write it down? Write it down, let's come up with the next question, what is the first thing everyone needs to do when they get up in the morning? The eunuch Bingbi was afraid of missing a word, and he was also quite interested in Xuan Shizi's question, and he could brag to others if he had the answer in the future.

Xuan'er said to herself, "What's the matter? Can't answer them all? Although the voice was small, the four envoys heard it, and they wanted to peel off the skin from their faces and stick it to the wall. It's already five questions, and none of them have responded.

"Let's come up with a pair of questions, saying that there is an ancient civilization, which can be called a state of etiquette, and suddenly it is invaded by the union of eight other countries. The armies of these eight nations were led by a marshal named Wadsey, who considered himself to be well versed in the culture of this ancient country, and made a couplet that was pasted next to a huge city gate, saying that whoever could make a couplet, he would give him a hundred taels of gold. This father-in-law must remember well, his upper link is: riding a strange horse, Zhang Longbow, Qin Se Pipa, Eight Kings, Wang Wang is on top, and Shan Ge fights. Mr. Watanabe, you're biased again, and the others are definitely not proficient in pairs, so you can work more, right? ”

"This, this ......" Watanabe's face was as red as if he had been slapped in the face. He also knew that this was a play on words, and the riding character for riding a horse was composed of horse characters and odd characters, and the Zhang character and the war character were the two radicals that composed itself. Qin Se pipa is the meaning of showing off your might and fighting with others. But how can you match the next link all of a sudden? You have to think about it, you may not be able to think of it in two days or three days. Chinese characters are a profound thing! So Mr. Watanabe Taro said very humbly: "This couplet is too profound, this envoy really can't tell the mystery to the children?" ”

"I can't." Xuan'er replied crisply. This couplet is actually a legend, which is about the Qing Dynasty's Xianfeng period, when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing, the Coalition Army's Marshal Wadsey gave the Qing Dynasty a couplet. It's really a private school gentleman who gave the next couplet.。 Of course, Xuan'er didn't know that this was a play on words two hundred years later.

"Excuse me, has anyone from that ancient country come up?"

"Of course, as soon as Marshal Wadsey's upper couplet was pasted on the city wall, a rural private school gentleman who came into the city to buy something saw it, and immediately made a lower couplet, and it was very neat and appropriate, Marshal Waldsey naturally wanted to fulfill his promise to give him one hundred taels of gold, but this private school gentleman said that such a broken couplet is also worth one hundred taels, I am not rare!" With that, he swaggered into the city.

The emperor took the lead in applauding and exclaimed: "Good! Have a backbone! ”

There are also four questions, Xuan'er is all in the category of brain teasers, and they can't be answered easily, let alone the more difficult ones. "I've got the seventh question, what does God don't know, you don't know what I know? The eighth question is: What is the difference between Confucius and Mencius? Question 9: A person has a book in front of him and wants to step over, but he can't do it, why? Question 10: What kind of car only turns the wheels but does not move? That's it for me. Envoys, you can give an answer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. With that, he hugged his fists and went down the field with a grin.

The feast was dispersed, and the four envoys, who had not given an answer to even one of the ten questions, left dejectedly. Some of them originally asked Lord Rui for other things, but they were messed up by William, Watanabe, and Matlov!

After sending off the envoys, Emperor Shunzhi left the royal family and the ministers of civil and military affairs, and asked, "Do you remember what I said before this?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Remember to remember, Xuan Shizi deserves to be crowned king!" ”

"Your Majesty!" The prince knelt in front of the emperor: "Xuan'er is still a child, and today is a fluke to encounter such a thing......"

"Brother Huang, you also know what is a gentleman's jokes, what is a promise, and what a husband is difficult to chase! I am the king of a country, do I break my word just now? ”

"Your Majesty, Xuan'er is already a prince, and it's not a matter of time before you become a prince?"

"Brother Huang, I know that you thought of the prince and the nephew of Xuan'er who was afraid that he would not be able to serve the public when he was young, but today, he transferred thousands of pounds in four or two, added glory to our Qing Dynasty, established national prestige, won face for me and everyone here, and made great achievements! His title of prince was earned by himself, and has nothing to do with you. You let everyone say, who was able to rush up at that time? It's not that you don't dare, you can't, no one has the ability. Not even I! Xuan'er did it, and easily defeated those arrogant guys, and this is also a war, a war without guns. In the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, this William instigated the envoys of several countries to challenge me, and I prevaricated the past. At least many countries want to underestimate our Qing Dynasty, saying that we are incompetent people who do not learn and do not know. Xuan'er not only answered the arithmetic questions, but also mocked them, and I was very angry! You don't need to say anything, take Xuan'er's nephew back to wait for the official decree and all the glory that the prince deserves, including the guards, personal soldiers, eunuchs, and palace maids allocated to Xuan'er from the palace. You are waiting for all the benefits that Prince Xuan should have, such as the canonization of the golden book, clothing, money, and rewards, do you have any opinions? ”

Who can have an opinion? Everyone watched an eight-year-old kid beat those arrogant envoys to the ground, and they couldn't even admire it, what else did they have to say? What kind of master taught this Xuan Shizi? It's simply the reincarnation of a prodigy! Yulu didn't get it from everyone's pockets, it was sent by the household, what does it matter to you? Why shouldn't good people please people?

So he generously expressed his agreement with the emperor's opinion, the current Rui Wang Ye is in the middle of the sky, it is hot, don't offend.

What else can the prince say? I had to kowtow to the emperor with Xuan'er to thank him, and then carried the eight-year-old Xuan'er into the carriage and went back to the house to celebrate. The title of king is a big deal, it must be lively for a few days, this is the emperor's canonization, it's okay not to take it seriously? The crime of contempt of imperial power is as great as the crime of resisting the decree.

However, there is one person here who is quite uncomfortable and has a feeling of being tricked. This is the Queen Mother of today. Splendid Fujin has always said that Xuan Shizi in the house is a timid child, and he believes it. If it weren't for the fact that Prince Rui entered the palace with his Fujin and gave him so many valuable gifts the day after he came back from a foreign land, I'm afraid Xuan'er would have entered the palace to study. Although their gifts have nothing to do with Xuan'er entering the palace to study, they can't detain other people's children just after giving gifts, right? The Queen Mother also understands that Splendid Fujin said that Xuan'er was timid because she was afraid that he would enter the palace to fight with other children, and the Queen Mother herself would not really harm Xuan'er, but wanted him to suffer a little! It's good now, I have become Prince Xuan, and with the title of prince, what palace do you want to enter? This kid is not ordinarily smart, he didn't take this occasion seriously at all, and he was still a coward! Mr. and Mrs. Rui are clearly on guard against themselves! The Queen Mother felt that her breath was uneven: except for the boy of Concubine E who was crowned king a few months after birth, there has not been any prince who has been crowned king, and he is a prince so easily? What will those princes and generals who rushed out on the battlefield think?

Of course, she can't be more serious with her son on this occasion, and when she returned to Cining Palace, she instructed the eunuch Qiang Gonggong next to her to invite the emperor.

The Queen Mother's forbearance skills are first-class, and she is obviously about to explode her lungs, but on the surface she still has a motherly demeanor: "Your Majesty, don't you think it's a bit hasty to crown the prince of Xuan Shizi today?" How old is he? None of your sons have been crowned kings. He's only eight years old, do you think the battle-hardened princes, Baylors, and generals can be convinced? ”

"It seems that the emperor is also present at today's banquet, right? You said that it was a bit hasty to make the prince of Xuan the king, so why didn't you rush forward at that time? Those battle-hardened princes and Baylor are also on the scene, so they can also rush forward? Why didn't anyone go? Is it that they don't want this princely title, it's that they can't answer the questions raised by the envoys like me! Is it bad to have an answer that can be answered? Are you happy to let those envoys laugh at the people of our Great Qing Kingdom are idiots? Who do you think of my sons can surpass Xuan Shizi? Emperor Shunzhi's face was pale, and he pressed the Queen Mother step by step, and the Queen Mother was at a loss.

"Are you talking to the Emperor?" The Queen Mother was decently refuted by her son the emperor. The emperor's rhetoric against himself became more and more harsh, making the queen mother very unable to get off the stage.

"Don't you see the situation clearly? Several envoys kept saying that we are a big country, and we want to find a person who can calculate three digits multiplied by three digits, and there are hundreds of ministers of civil and military affairs plus their families, who has come forward? Who can save the face of the Celestial Empire? This is not my face alone, it is the prestige of the country! It was Xuan'er who was recommended by Xuan Ye, not Xuan'er who was scrambling to answer the question! Don't you think the face of our Qing Dynasty is the most important? Kicked away with someone who has used it? "The smoke of the last mother-son war has not yet dissipated, and now the emperor is here to challenge his limit again!

"Xuan'er is young, but today he has earned face for our Daqing Dynasty calmly, and has quietly fought a beautiful battle. You still say I'm sloppy? You say, how can you not be hasty? Do you think that Xuan'er is more clever than my princes, so you should kill him? ”

"E-Niang didn't say that! Eniang is angry, and the prince and his wife have never praised Xuan'er in front of the palace. also said that he was timid and afraid of life, why was he not afraid of showing his face in front of so many people today? ”

"My Imperial Mother, how can your jealousy be so strong? Xuan'er is your own grandson like Xuan Ye, which one is not smart or not? It has to be my son to be your grandson, and the sons of all the royal brothers have nothing to do with you? Brother Huang has always been low-key, don't you know? It is also possible to be timid, afraid to see insects, afraid to hear ghosts, afraid of thunder and rain, all of them are timid. But if you can rush up at the critical moment, that is Geng Geng's loyalty! Didn't you see how nervous the second emperor brother was? That's someone's son, you should be proud that an eight-year-old child can do such a big thing! We should be happy that we have such a prodigy in the Qing Dynasty! Isn't it just Xuan Ye who is smarter than you? But Xuan Ye was not jealous of Xuan'er, he knew Xuan'er best, so he recommended him, and Xuan Ye also had merit! I thought about when I would seal Xuanye, but it was Xuan'er who made a great contribution today! ”

"Forget it, the palace won't say anything, you are also older, and the things in the court will be mixed with as little as possible. E-niang is tired, you go and rest. There are many things to do after Xuan'er became king, so let's take my time. (To be continued.) )
