Chapter 65: Kong Yingda's exclamation

Under everyone's questioning, Li Chunfeng showed his standard answer to other judges. When everyone looked at it, there were 23 chickens and 12 rabbits, which was the same as Li You's answer.

Li Chunfeng wrote down the results and handed them to Wei Zheng.

This time, Wei Zheng didn't gasp for breath, and said directly: "The answer is that there are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits." The result is correct. His Royal Highness the King of Qi wins! ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Li Shimin ignored the warm congratulations of Cheng Yanjin and others, and counted with his fingers, and sure enough, the number of chickens and rabbits matched the number of legs and heads. said: "That's really many." ”

"Poof", and then someone shouted: "Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor, Lord Zhao has fainted!" Don't ask, this must be the one who bought the right to win.

Li Ke was dumbfounded, Li Tai was a little dizzy, and Xiao Dongchang was directly blinded!

The expressions of the two little beauties became even more eccentric.

Concubine Yin was about to cry, and then she really cried, she felt a little messy, took out a piece of candy from her pocket, and put it in her mouth. "Hmm", it feels better.

Quan Wanji looked at Li You, who was not stingy, and looked at him chewing candy in his mouth, and suddenly wanted to eat a piece, but no! He felt uncomfortable in his mouth, but he felt sad in his heart.

Next, Wei Zheng announced that the competition would continue. The second subject, the Ming Classic.

The Five Classics refer to the five Confucian classics, namely the "Poems" ("Book of Songs"), the "Shu" ("Shangshu", "Shujing"), the "Li" ("Book of Rites"), the "Yi" ("Zhou Yi"), and the "Spring and Autumn". During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court officially declared these five books as classics, so they were called the "Five Classics".

Kong Yingda's topic is divided into two parts, the first part is to examine Li You and Quan Wanji's familiarity with the Five Classics.

On this topic, everyone thinks that Quan Wanji will win.

When Li You was studying in an aristocratic school, he was often punished for failing to memorize the book, and his palms were beaten by Kong Yingda no less than 100 times. Now, seeing Kong Yingda's majestic face, Li You immediately felt a pain in his hand.

The exam began, and Li You and Quan Wanji stood in front of the judges, waiting for Kong Yingda to come up with the questions.

Kong Yingda picked up a copy of "Book of Books", turned to a page casually, read a sentence, and then asked the two of them to pick up one sentence at a time.

Kong Yingda read: "Jizi." However, the sky is cloudy, and the people live together, and I don't know what to say. ”

He stopped and said, "Quan Wanji, you go down first." ”

Quan Wanji said: "Jizi Nai said: 'I heard it in the past, and the flood of the cang, and the five elements of it. ’”

Li You began to continue: "The emperor is angry, not the 'Hong Fan' nine domains, Yi Lun is ......"

Kong Yingda originally thought that Li You would give up if he couldn't answer two sentences, but he knew that Li You had a science and technology library in his head, and it was a textbook, and there would be no mistake. Quan Wanji is indeed powerful, just relying on memory, he even followed it word for word.

In this way, the time of half a burnt incense can't tell the winner from the loser.

Kong Yingda saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he proposed that this competition be tied.

Li You was already annoyed and agreed. Quan Wanji also felt that it was boring to go on like this, and agreed.

Wei Zheng announced that in the first competition of Ming Jing, the two were tied.

Then Kong Yingda announced the second competition content, so that the two of them were right

"Shangshu Hongfan" as a commentary. The topic is: On the Political Philosophy of Shangshu Hongfan.

Quan Wanji began to write hard again, and Li You began to eat sugar again.

For the research articles of "Shangshu Hongfan", there are some in the library, and Li You directly copied them. It's early sealing again.

After Quan Wanji finished answering, Kong Yingda began to read Quan Wanji's article. Quan Wanji was born as a champion in the end, and an article was done very well, which won the applause of everyone.

Next it was Li You's turn to write.

Kong Yingda read the title and suddenly stopped. And then just stand there in a daze.

Li Ke, Li Tai and others were overjoyed, thinking that Li You's article was nonsense, and Kong Yingda couldn't read it anymore.

Li Shimin saw that Kong Yingda was speechless, and asked, "Mr. Kong......"

Before he could finish speaking, Kong Yingda stood up suddenly, his face was red with excitement, and he stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this, this ......"

Li Shimin asked curiously; "What's wrong, sir?"

Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, it's better for you to see for yourself." ”

Wang De took the article in Kong Yingda's hand in the past and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it and looked at it, he was also stunned, his face was the same as Kong Yingda, the expression on his face was changeable, puzzled, surprised, surprised, and emotional. It's exciting!

Li Shimin saw that there were some strange dots on Li You's article, however, it was because of these dots that the whole article became extremely clear.

He held back his excitement and said, "Wang De, take it and show it to everyone." ”

Soon, several judges, Fang Xuanling, Eldest Sun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others all read Li You's article.

Li Shimin asked, "King Qi, what is this?" ”

Articles of the ancients, without punctuation. The article is full of articles, which look dense, and make people feel like they are in a phobia of the dense array.

Articles without punctuation are not only inconvenient to read, but also have different meanings or even complete opposites because of the different positions of the sentences.

"It's called punctuation, and in order for everyone to understand its importance, I'll tell you a little story," Li You said. ”

After that, he told a story.

Legend has it that there is a genius who wrote a New Year's auspicious message for the farmer's family: "This year, there is no money and no money, pigs are raised in the door, all the big rats are plagued, and the wine tank is good to make vinegar and drop acid", without punctuation, some people read as: "This year is so mildew, there is no wealth and silk into the door, and the pigs are all big rats, all of them are plague." It is good to make vinegar and drop acid. ”

When the peasant heard this, he was so angry that he questioned the talented man. The talented man used a pen to add punctuation and became: "This year is good, there is no mildew, and wealth enters the door." Pigs are all big, rats are all plague, it is good to make wine tanks, and vinegar drips acid", the meaning is completely different, and the anger of the farmers is not only gone, but also laughing.

Li You's story is easy to understand, which caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

Kong Yingda respectfully saluted Li You and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, please teach me this punctuation mark, and I will promote it to all students in Datang." ”

Quan Wanji and those who didn't see Li You's article, although they didn't know what Li Shimin and Kong Yingda were talking about, but seeing their attitude towards Li You, they knew that Quan Wanji had lost again.

Wei Zheng took Li You's article and handed it to Quan Wanji. Quan Wanji looked at it for a while, but he also had the grace to admit defeat.

There was an uproar in the main hall.

The eyes of the two little beauties were shining, and they didn't know what it was.

Xiao Dongchang couldn't laugh or cry.

Xiao Qian looked at Li You, and then at his granddaughter in the crowd, his old face was feverish.

He was a little annoyed and said, "Let's compare it to poetry." ”
