15. All kinds of problems are messed up in a hodgepodge
(Correction: In the previous text, it was written that King Zhao's birthday banquet was the eighth day of the ninth month of September, and it was changed to the ninth day of the first month of August.) ๏ผ
Zhuang Hua's spirit was shocked, he lifted the hem of his robe, stepped into the palace gate, and under the gaze of the elites of the country, he calmly walked towards the throne step by step.
However, at a distance of more than ten zhang, Zhuang Hua was more tired than walking thousands of miles. Without him, all kinds of scrutiny and eyes were focused on her alone, and she had to walk over calmly, which was definitely not something that could be eliminated by two psychological hints such as "he is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills".
In particular, the gaze from the person in the first position at the bottom right of the throne made her feel like a thorn in her back, and her sharp gaze was full of coldness, which made her feel hot and dry after entering the main hall suddenly drop to zero.
Looks like she still has to thank him, King Zhangliang.
encountered the boss and good friend of the original mountain court, how to break it?!
No matter how entangled Zhuang Hua was in her heart, she had already walked to the side of the crown prince Bai Huang, bowed her hand, "The mountain court sees the king." โ
Zhuang Hua felt that as soon as she said the word "mountain court", a chill rushed over her, almost freezing her to death.
Don't put the air conditioner anymore, and you can see the spectacle of snowfall indoors.
"Why don't you bow down when you see the king?"
Zhang Liang Wang Baiti of the cos air conditioner spoke, with a low and cold voice and sharp eyes, could he really have a story to tell with Shanting? Part of Zhuang Hua's thinking has gone astray.
She glanced at the prince Bai Huang standing next to her, but they didn't look at her at all, and they didn't mean to open their mouths to save her.
It's really not that a family doesn't enter the door, don't care what people go back to pinch, at least at this moment, the brothers' front is the same.
She should be honored, shouldn't she?
The eyes of the other people in the palace condensed on her, and the ministers of Zhaoguo and the envoys of other countries who had been arguing just now also temporarily put aside their grievances and watched the play together.
King Zhao also looked at His Royal Highness unhappily, and released his imperial power without saying a word, and suddenly, the pressure was concentrated on Zhuang Hua's thin body.
"I want to exchange a story with the king for forgiveness for my sin of not kneeling today." Zhuang Hua said.
Don't kneel to death, Zhuang Hua doesn't have this idea, she may not be used to it, but she has no willingness to fight against this era, but it's too late for her to kneel down to make amends, and she will only become a laughing stock between the government and the opposition, so she can only find another way out.
The curiosity of King Zhao and the ministers in the palace was aroused, and King Zhao ordered: "Speak." However, if this story is not enough to offset your rudeness, Lone will still cure you for the sin of disrespect. โ
"Whoa." Zhuang Hua straightened up, holding a red sandalwood hand in front of him, his left hand wearing gloves was slightly behind him, and the slightly low young man's voice told the story: "According to legend, a long time ago, there was a country that did not produce good horses, and it was to fight with other countries, and it was always defeated by the cavalry of other countries, and the monarch was very troubled by this. One day, there was a palace official who offered a plan to the monarch to find a good horse from the world with a heavy reward, and there must be a brave man under such a heavy reward.
So the king accepted the plan, put up a proclamation, and made it read daily. Under such a heavy reward, there were many people who took risks, and in vain they beheaded all those who deceived the reward, and for a long time after that, no one came to recommend horses.
Finally, one day, a Soma master who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests unveiled a notice again, asking the monarch to wait for him in March, and he would bring a thousand-mile horse. So three months passed, and the Maxima brought by Soma Shi died of illness on the way, and when he arrived in the national capital, there was only a pile of white bones left, and Soma Shi admitted that he had failed to fulfill his promise and asked for death.
A great doctor advised: 'It is better for the king to ask someone to look at the bones of the horse, if it is false, it is not too late to punish the crime, and if it is true, the king should fulfill his promise and exchange it for a thousand gold.' The monarch said that the most experienced Soma master in the country looked at the horse bone, and the obtained horse bone was really the bone of a thousand horses, so the king not only released the Soma master who brought the horse bone, but also exchanged the horse bone for a thousand gold.
The world knows that the monarch is easy to have horse bones, and more horse masters or horse breeders have come to offer good horses, and since then, the country has no worries about the trouble of no good horses. โ
Zhuang Hua didn't remember the allusion of the daughter buying horse bones very clearly, but she remembered the general meaning, so she told it again according to her understanding, anyway, no one had heard of this story, and no one would find fault with her.
"Great goodness! What a golden horse bone. King Zhao stroked his palms and smiled, "I don't know what Shan Ting thinks, is he a horse bone or a thousand miles of horses?" King Zhao was in a good mood and teased.
"The mountain court is not good at the art of disguise." Zhuang Hua's humorous answer made everyone in the palace smile, and King Zhao laughed again: "Haha! Well, with your wit, Lone will allow you to see the king and bow without kneeling thereafter. โ
Zhuang Hua bowed his hand and said, "Thank you for your grace!" โ
In this matter, the eyes of other people looking at Zhuang Hua suddenly changed, from curiosity and contempt to judgment and evaluation.
She is the first outsider who can get the grace of King Zhao without kneeling, which is a privilege only available to princes in previous dynasties.
The whole scene did not change, except for the prince Bai Huang who was standing next to Zhuang Hua, it was Zhang Liang Wang Bai Ti, who had always been cold to her.
The former finally set his eyes on her, and his handsome face with a smile was like a spring breeze, as if all this was what he expected. The latter no longer released cold air, but the lingering coldness that seemed to be haunted by resentful spirits had been haunting Zhuang Hua.
Some people saw that the atmosphere of this happy gathering was not pleasing to the eye, and the envoys of the Yasukuni came out of the palace and said: "May I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, is this person the one who can answer the questions of the ministers?" โ
"Yes, yes." Bai Huang replied, turning his head to look at Zhuang Hua.
Zhuang Hua understood, turned to look at the envoy of the Yasukuni, "Please tell me what you are asking?" โ
The Yasukuni envoy waved his hand, and an entourage behind the original seat walked up to the hall with a tray.
In the tray are three jade wine glasses, lined up.
The Yasukuni envoy said: "One of the three glasses of wine is poisonous, please ...... Zhao Guoshi distinguishes which glass is poisonous wine, non-poisonous wine is a rare treasure, please drink it. โ
Zhuang Hua felt as if he had seen such a scene in a martial arts novel. This is forcing people to gamble on their lives, no wonder the noise in the hall was so fierce just now, it turned out to be like this.
A doctor of Zhaoguo immediately stood up and said, "King, this is really vexatious, please don't answer the king." "It's not for the sake of the life of the person who tasted the wine, but for the face of Zhaoguo.
The envoy of the Yasukuni smiled contemptuously, "If there are really no warriors in Zhaoguo, the minister will not be embarrassed, and only ask King Zhao to retreat the sea for a hundred miles." โ
Zhaoguo and Yasukuni do not share a border on land, but they are adjacent in the sea, and the dead knot of disputes between the two countries that cannot be resolved comes from this.
"Shanting, would you like to solve this problem?" King Zhao waved his hand to suppress the indignation of the ministers, and asked in a deep voice.
"The mountain court is willing to give it a try." Your son has brought me overnight, do I want to do it now? Zhuang Hua secretly slandered, his face was calm, and he gave up.
Just a dead duck with a hard mouth. Zhuang Hua silently lasaggled noodles in his heart, and then walked towards the Yasukuni envoys.
Looking at the liquor in the three jade cups on the tray, he thought.
"Boy, if you guess wrong, you still have to retreat from the sea jurisdiction, the poison will not kill, but you may not be able to live." The Yasukuni envoy lowered his voice and said to Zhuang Hua. He always felt that this boy would ruin his plans.
Zhuang Hua glanced at the Yasukuni envoy who had "good intentions" to remind her, and suddenly came to her senses.
This is the same as her reply to the prince, boring, could it be that if you guess wrong, King Jiuzhao will really give up the territorial waters? Obviously, this Yasukuni envoy also knew that it was impossible, so he came out like this purely to disgust King Zhao.
The ministers and authorities of the country were confused, and they couldn't see clearly for a while, so there was a quarrel before she came in.
So she guessed that these three glasses of wine were non-toxic, and if no one came out to deal with the provocation in the end, the Yasukuni envoy would drink all three glasses of wine, and then mock and humiliate the ministers of Zhaoguo, so that King Zhao would lose face in front of the envoys of other countries.
Look, the people of Zhaoguo are all bad seeds, and if you scare them casually, you will be scared, hahahaha!! (ๅงo(โฏโกโฐ)o) is like that.
Zhuang Hua thought about this clearly, reached out and picked up the cup on the right side of the tray, drank it without hesitation, and calmly picked up the cup on the left and poured it down. Only the cup in the middle remained, Zhuang Hua's right index finger and middle finger flicked together, the jade cup was poured, and the wine was poured.
She couldn't drink all three cups, that was to slap the faces of the ministers of Zhaoguo and King Zhao, and spilled the last cup so that the Yasukuni envoys could not drink, which also made the Yasukuni envoys unable to speak and ridicule.
"How's that, my lord, did I guess right?"
In an instant, the Yasukuni envoy's face turned pale and he was speechless.
The ministers of Zhaoguo, who had a solemn atmosphere, immediately gained the upper hand, and King Zhao looked at Zhuang Hua with appreciation, and said: "The mountain court has great courage, and the reward is five thousand gold, and one hundred silk horses." โ
"Thank you, the king, for the reward." Zhuang Hua turned to face King Zhao and bowed his hand.
The envoys of the Yasukuni quickly adjusted their state and bowed to King Zhao, "The ministers are happy and convinced." โ
King Zhao said: "Flat." This is a game, it should not be taken seriously, and you don't have to mind. โ
"Whoa." The Yasukuni envoy got up, thanked King Zhao, and returned to his seat.
However, his meaningful glance at Zhuang Hua made Zhuang Hua feel worried.
Bai Huang in front of the hall looked at Zhuang Hua more and more kindly, Bai Ti's gaze was not as cold as before, but it was still sharp.
At this time, the envoys of Ziguo came out of the palace to go to the palace.
Not as arrogant as the Yasukuni envoys, but with a respectful and humble attitude, he bowed to King Zhao and said: "Your Majesty, the problem of the Yasukuni Qiu Doctor is difficult for the wise man of Zhaoguo, the minister has a question here, and I would like to ask all the people in the palace to solve the doubts for the ministers." โ
King Zhao couldn't see joy or anger on his face, and said, "Accurate." โ
The envoy of Ziguo said: "There is an old man who called his three sons to the bed before he died, and said: 'I have saved twenty gold, and now I will die soon, so that your three brothers can divide it.'"
The eldest is the most filial, gets half, the second is the second, gets one-third, and the third is the most unfilial, and gets one-seventh. After speaking, the old man died of anger, and the three brothers disagreed for the division of the inheritance, and made trouble with the government, may I ask, how to divide the twenty gold to be fair? โ
Zhuang Hua was embarrassed when he heard this, this is not a bridge in a costume TV series. But she doesn't want to care about it, the limelight has been enough. This bit of math fun problem should not be difficult for these ministers, why don't they all eat dry food? Zhuang Hua gestured to Bai Huang, who had returned to her seat, with her eyes, can she stop being pestle and leave?
But Bai Huang just smiled lightly and comforted, signaling her to be calm and impatient.
Well, she admits that Bai Huang has a very seductive smile, since people tell her to wait, she just waits, who let her people under the low eaves.
A minister stood up and said, "It's better to divide Huang Finance again."
The envoy of Ziguo said: "No, the law of Ziguo has a saying, and it is not allowed to destroy coins privately, and those who violate it will be killed." โ
In this way, the ministers of Zhaoguo whispered, and a moment passed, and no result was discussed.
At this time, the handsome man who had been meditating on himself under the crown prince spoke: "Brother Prince, it is better to let this Mr. Shanting answer, how." After speaking, a pair of half-squinted eyes glanced at Zhuang Hua.
Zhuang Hua knew that it would be no good to continue to stay here.
The envoy of Ziguo also turned his gaze to Zhuang Hua, and smiled, looking like an old fox.
Zhuang Hua ignored it, lowered his eyes and looked at the texture of the wooden floor on the ground, and thought, such a simple question still has to come to me, isn't it a circus?
Zhuang Hua is misunderstood, the text is not widely spread, let alone mathematics, simple addition and subtraction is OK, not to mention other operations, even the world of ninety-nine multiplication tables, do you still want to understand Olympiad numbers?
"Shanting, do you know how to solve this problem?" King Zhao spoke, Zhuang Hua raised his eyes helplessly, and met the eyes of King Zhao asking and ordering.
It seems that she is going to double the limelight today, "There is a way to solve it." Zhuang Hua arched his hand, then turned his head and said to the envoy of Ziguo: "Why don't I borrow one gold from their three brothers, and if there is any surplus after dividing it, the rest of the money will belong to me." โ
The envoy of Ziguo nodded with a smile and bowed to Zhuang Hua, "Mr. Shanting has true wisdom. Then he bowed to King Zhao and returned to his seat.
King Zhao saw that in addition to the envoys of Ziguo who made the question, that is, the crown prince, King Zhangliang and King Yuyang, they all looked clear, and the other ministers and envoys from other countries were all confused, so he said: "Shanting will explain it to the secretaries." In fact, he also wanted to know what was going on.
"Whoa." Zhuang Hua responded: "Half of the twenty gold is ten gold, which is what the eldest son deserves." And I borrowed one of them, and the total amount was twenty-one gold, and a third of the twenty-one gold was seven gold, which was due to the second son. One-seventh of twenty-one gold is three gold, which is what the son deserves. So twenty-one gold, the eldest son got ten gold, the second son got seven, the younger son got three, and the remaining one gold was returned to me. โ
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that their eyes were different when they looked at Zhuang Hua. Just guessing the wine can be said to be luck, so now this penny question can be seen to be really talented. Mathematics, although it is a small way, but it is difficult to be proficient, I didn't see the ministers of the palace didn't immediately react to the trivial matter of the three brothers' money, didn't it mean that the ministers of the people were idiots and couldn't figure it out, maybe it could be calculated for a long time, but what was lacking was time.
Zhuang Hua was labeled as "to be seen" before, but now it is "usable" and "can be co-opted", and looking at King Zhao's attitude towards him, he admires it very much, maybe it is not impossible to be a minister in the same palace.
At this time, the envoy of the Yang State stood up not to be outdone, and the entourage behind him also followed out with a one-foot-square brocade box, kneeling aside. The envoy of the Yang State arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also has a problem, and I want to ask the people to solve it." โ
It's over, isn't it? It's over, isn't it? Zhuang Huagang's heart lifted up again, and he couldn't wait for the whole person to jump up, pointing at the nose of the envoy of the Yang State and scolding.
King Zhao was on the rise, with a big mouth, "Quasi!" โ
The envoy of the Yang Kingdom ordered his entourage to open the brocade box and take out a pearl the size of an adult man's fist.
Dirt is up!! Zhuang Hua had already thought of a tampered messy costume martial arts TV series. Do you want to be so mysterious? Where did you find such a big pearl? Mussel essence, right? You also have mermaids at home, don't you?
The envoy of the Yang State said: "This is a nine-song bead, a rare thing to see in a thousand years." According to the records of Daxing Strange Things, the last time this thing appeared was the sixteenth year of the construction of Daxing Fort, 1,125 years ago.
The name of this thing is Jiuqu Zhu, which originally came from the developed holes, twists and turns, and is complex and changeable. However, a hole is drilled in the front and back, which can be threaded through. My king got this thing for 12 years, and ordered 50 female red experts to study day and night, and it took seven years to put the line in and out of the front hole.
I don't know, is there a strange person in Zhaoguo who can pass the thread through this bead? โ
"We are not women, ridiculous!" A doctor of Zhaoguo stood up and said angrily.
Some people also suggested to King Zhao to invite Gong E, who is good at female red, to come and study this pearl.
For a while, there were many opinions, and the palace became a vegetable market.
Zhuang Hua's legs were stiff, and he moved two steps left and right slightly, moving his legs and feet.
"Look at Mr. Shanting's leisurely state, but there is already a way." This time, the name of Zhuang Hua is Zhang Liang Wang Baiti.
Zhuang Hua trembled in his heart and swallowed secretly
