Chapter 62: Laughing to Death
Cen Wenwen said; "Your Majesty, for the sake of fairness, the minister has a proposal. The sage cloud, the master is the teacher. If His Royal Highness the King of Qi loses, he will continue to worship Wan Ji as a teacher. When Lord Quan lost, he in turn worshiped His Royal Highness King Qi as his teacher. ”
"Good, good, good." All the ministers felt that it was enjoyable and applauded together.
This sounds very fair, but it is a bit of a humiliation of Quan Wanji, which also looks down on other people's Quan Wanji. Li Shimin felt a little inappropriate, looked at Quan Wanji, and asked, "What does Quan Aiqing think?" ”
Quan Wanji smiled contemptuously in his heart: "As far as Li You's rammer, compare with me to learn, ten tied together, it's not enough to see." He said angrily: "Your Majesty, Lord Zeng is right, the master is the teacher, if the minister's skills are not as good as others, he should be willing to worship His Royal Highness the King of Qi as a teacher." ”
Li You, Yin Hongzhi, Cheng Yanjin and others were reluctant to hear it, this guy is really thick-skinned, even if he loses, he still has to stay in the Qi Palace, that's not good.
Yin Hongzhi came out and said, "Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate. After all, Quan Wanji used to be the master of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and even if he lost, it would not be convenient for His Royal Highness the King of Qi to be his teacher. This matter is unfair to His Royal Highness the King of Shu. ”
When the people heard this, they felt justified. Xin said: "Yes, Li Ke is in charge of the power of Wanji to call the master." If Quan Wanji calls Li You a master, then what does Li Ke call Li You, is it called a master, isn't this a mess? ”
Li Shimin couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Li Ke has great trust in Quan Wanji, and he also knows Li You very well in the past, he would rather believe that the sun comes out of the west than that Li You can win Quan Wanji.
He said: "It doesn't matter, if King Qi really wins Master Quan, it means that he is really talented, and his sons are willing to worship him as a teacher." ”
Whether Li You wins or Quan Wanji wins, there is always a shame among the two. Such a result is naturally what Li Tai is willing to see. He said: "Okay, my third brother is really courageous, broad-minded, and amazing. Father and son, suggest, just follow the proposal of the king of Shu. ”
Li Shimin was a little tired of being noisy, and he didn't believe that Li You could win, so he said, "Okay, that's it."
For the sake of fairness, this competition will be judged by me, Xiao Qian, Kong Yingda and Li Chunfeng. The day after tomorrow, it is carried out in the side hall of the Taiji Palace. Let's retreat. ”
Out of the Taiji Palace, Li Ke and Quan Wanji left as if they had won a big battle.
Li Tai was also very excited, standing at the door of the main hall, waiting for Li You to come out, and said: "Fifth brother, it's amazing, I didn't expect your knowledge to be so advanced, you can actually compete with Quan Wanji, which impresses me with the fourth brother." ”
Li You smiled, didn't speak, bowed, and walked silently towards Chengtianmen in the company of Yin Hongzhi.
The ministers were all very happy, and they dissipated in twos and threes.
When he arrived at Chengtianmen, Wei Zheng stopped Li You. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, no matter what, your courage is commendable, and you admire it." ”
If someone else said such a thing at this time, Li You might think it was sarcasm, but he knew that Wei Zheng was sincerely encouraging him.
Li You smiled and said, "Lord Wei, after the competition, let's go to my house for a cup of tea." ”
Wei Zheng smiled: "Definitely." "He never went to the house to make friends with the ministers, let alone the prince's palace. However, Li You knew that Wei Zheng would definitely come.
Qi Wangfu.
Not long after Li You returned to the palace, Concubine Yin Niangniang sent someone to ask Li You to enter the palace to see her in the afternoon.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong came.
Cheng Yanjin said: "Your Highness, things are not good, the judges appointed by His Majesty are all sour Confucians, they are from the same background as Quan Wanji, and they will definitely be towards him."
If you compare the bow and the saber and the gun, let him have eight powers. But this sour thing, is it Your Highness? He and Wei Chigong were worried.
Li You smiled and said, "Two uncles, come, eat sugar." My father did the right thing, and Quan Wanji was responsible for teaching me, which was the content of the Ming Jing and Jinshi assessments. We're going to have to win them in this area before they're convinced. ”
Wei Chigong said worriedly: "That bull-nosed Taoist priest is said to be a master of arithmetic, are you familiar with this arithmetic?" ”
The person he spoke of was Li Chunfeng, a recognized master of mathematics in the Tang Dynasty.
Li You said disdainfully: "What is a master of arithmetic, when I was in kindergarten, what I learned was enough." ”
The magpie who was pouring tea for them asked curiously, "Lord Wang, what is kindergarten?" ”
Li You smiled: "It's a place for children to study." ”
The magpie said worriedly: "Lord Wang, although you are average in other knowledge, you have studied for so many years. But you can't compose poetry, what can you do? ”
She has served Li You for many years, and she is clear about his two eyes.
Li You smiled: "It's not easy to compose a poem, you listen, I'll make one for you now." ”
He read, "There is a tree in the yard, and there is a bird's nest in the tree. Inside, it's a little magpie. Hahaha. ”
"What kind of bullshit poetry is this? It's not as good as a limerick, but people still rhyme. "Not to mention that Yin Hongzhi and Magpie are dumbfounded, even Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong feel that Li You is going to be finished.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Li You smiled and said, "Don't worry, you should eat, you should sleep." Let's not talk about these bad things, let's talk about our own affairs. I've sent someone to Yunzhou to look for beet seeds, which need to be improved......"
Shaw House.
Xiao Wanyu was holding a copy of "Commentary on the Justice of the Five Classics" in her hand and was reading to her grandfather. The old man's eyes were a little glazed, and he enjoyed the atmosphere of his granddaughter's recitation to him.
At this time, Xiao Dongchang came back.
"Chang'er, why did you come back at noon?" The officials eat lunch at noon in the office and usually do not go home.
Xiao Dongchang said with a smile: "It just so happens that Yu'er is also here, I have an interesting thing to tell you......" He told him what happened in the morning.
After speaking, he smiled and said: "It's really funny, that scumbag king who doesn't hesitate is really good at death." Originally, I was worried that he would stay in Chang'an and would come to pester our family's Yu'er. This time, let him lose face in front of everyone, and see that he still has the idea of hitting our Yu'er with the face. Haha, hahaha. ”
Xiao Wanyu "......" her face changed very strangely.
Xiao Dongchang said: "Father, there is another good thing. This competition between the Scum King and Quan Wanji is mainly the content of the Ming Classics and Jinshi Studies, as well as arithmetic and policy theory.
The discussion was presided over by His Majesty himself, the Ming Jing was presided over by Kong Yingda, and the arithmetic was presided over by Li Chunfeng. You will be in charge of the Jinshi Branch, which means that Your Majesty is going to use your old man in advance. ”
Xiao Qian's spirits perked up, sat up, and said, "Okay, the old man counts, Your Majesty should also let the old man out of the mountain." It seems that this time it is still stained with the light that is not stingy. Hahahaha. ”
"Hahahaha", Xiao Dongchang laughed with his father.
Xiao Wanyu couldn't laugh, thinking about her thoughts blankly.
