Hearing that Cui Wenqing actually wanted to make a bet with an obvious ending, Zhi Zhaodeng was shocked, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him: "Husband, how can you be so rash? How could you make such a bet? ”

"Lady, you have to believe me!" Cui Wenqing said to Zhe Zhao Zhengrong, and his attitude was extremely serious.

As if impressed by the strong confidence he showed, Zhi Zhao was stunned, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything more, and nodded with a wry smile.

On the other side, Chen Xuan, the king of Qi, heard that Cui Wenqing had made such a gambling contract without his own strength, and he was immediately overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's just say it, I don't know where the gambling contract will begin?" ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "Just choose a place with high terrain and easy to observe." ”

Xie Junhao thought for a while, and suggested with a smile: "In this way, why don't you set it up on the end door, I don't know what to do?" ”

The "end gate" in Xie Junhao's mouth is the main gate of the imperial city, and it is also the gate to enter the imperial city from Tianjin Street.

Cui Wenqing immediately nodded and said: "What Xianggong Xie said is very wonderful, okay, the specific time is tomorrow, and I and you are willing to gamble and lose." ”

"Good!" Chen Xuan, Xie Junhao, and Lu Yijian glanced at each other and applauded at the same time.

As soon as he left the Qi Palace, Zhi Zhao said impatiently: "Husband, why did you make that bet with the King of Qi and them that you knew were lost?" If you lose, the Zhenwu army will not only have to accommodate the cronies of the King of Qi, but you must also apprentice to Lu Yijian's disciples, how can this be done? ”

Compared with Zhi Zhao's anxious face, Cui Wenqing still looked light, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, we just need to beat them." ”

"Win? Easier said than done! Zhi Zhao glared at him angrily, "Heavy things will definitely fall faster than light things, this is common sense, how do you win?" ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing smiled.

Before Galileo Galileo did the famous experiment of "two iron balls landing at the same time" on the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the West, the whole world thought that heavy things fell faster than light things, and the current Daqi was naturally no exception.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "Lady, everyone thinks that heavy objects teach light things to land quickly, so if this sentence is correct, tie the two iron balls together, and the one that falls slowly will drag the one that falls fast, and the speed of falling should be slower than that of a ten-pound iron ball; However, if the two iron balls tied together are regarded as a whole, they weigh eleven pounds, and the speed of falling should be faster than that of the iron balls weighing ten pounds. How can we explain that two opposite conclusions can be drawn from one fact?"

Zhi Zhao thought about it for a while, and he already understood what Cui Wenqing wanted to express, and immediately fell into deep thought.

The hypothetical problem that Cui Wenqing mentioned at the time was originally a paradox proposed by Galileo to refute Aristotle's suggestion that the speed of an object in free fall depends on the mass of the object.

This paradox was listed as one of the top ten paradoxes in the world in later generations, and it is not easy to figure it out for a while.

Sure enough, Zhi Zhao thought about it for a long time, and he was a little confused about such a paradox, and sighed helplessly: "The question raised by the husband is indeed not simple, but I still think that the heavy object should land first." ”

Cui Wenqing laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the lady has always been on the side of King Qi and them, so I will prove to you tomorrow on the end door whether the iron balls will land one after the other, or at the same time." ”

While Cui Wenqing and Zhe Zhao were arguing, there were also endless discussions in the Qi Palace, but these discussions were full of ridicule of Cui Wenqing.

"That Cui Wenqing, shouldn't he be crazy?" Chen Xuan's face was full of surprised smiles, "You actually want to play this bet with us that you will obviously lose?" I really have a problem with my head! ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi is right," Lu Yijian also said with a smile, "The old man has never heard such a shocking statement, and just now he still looked full of confidence, he is really arrogant." ”

Nan Zhengjie snorted coldly: "It is rumored that this person is also quite appreciated by Wang Anshi, it seems that Wang Anshi, who is famous all over the world, also has a time when he looks away, and he actually falls in love with such a stupid, dull, ignorant, arrogant and ignorant person!" ”

Hearing Nan Zhengjie's merciless evaluation, everyone in the audience laughed loudly again, and the laughter was full of merciless ridicule of Cui Wenqing.

However, Xie Junhao frowned and said, "Your Highness, I don't think things are so simple. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Chen Xuan has always regarded Xie Junhao as a henchman of the humerus, and immediately asked.

Xie Junhao said solemnly: "Judging from Cui Wenqing's past performance, this person is resourceful and clear-minded, and he will definitely not make such an obvious mistake. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yijian and the others, who were originally a little proud, were all taken aback, thinking carefully about Xie Junhao's words, and they all showed a thoughtful look.

Chen Xuan nodded solemnly and asked, "Then I don't know what you think of Junhao?" Could it be that the two iron balls will really land at the same time? Speaking of the back, he laughed quite absurdly.

Xie Junhao said with a smile: "It must be the heavy ball that falls first, this point naturally cannot be changed, I think that Cui Wenqing is deliberately admitting defeat if he is not right." ”

"Deliberately throwing in the towel?" Chen Xuan's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to urge, "You go on." ”

Xie Junhao nodded, clarified his thoughts and calmly analyzed: "For example, a general who supports troops outside like Zhi Zhao has always been the object of suspicion of the Son of Heaven, and the Great Qi Imperial Court should not only reuse the Zhi clan to resist the invasion of the northern enemy, but also secretly prevent the Zhi clan from rebelling against the imperial court and establishing himself as the king like the Li clan in Xiazhou, I believe that Zhi Zhao is also very aware of the complicated mentality of the imperial court towards her, so when she came to Luoyang City, she would naturally be cautious, and no one wanted to offend." ”

"Besides, the current debate about the official family and Your Highness is still ongoing, and it is unknown whether the throne will change, so when the situation is not completely clear, Zhi Zhao will neither be loyal to Chen Hong, nor will she be loyal to His Highness, just now in the face of Your Highness's wooing, she also chose to turn a blind eye and avoid talking about it."

By the time Xie Junhao had reached this point, Chen Xuan had already completely figured it out, and said with a smile: "So Zhe Zhao took advantage of Cui Wenqing's gambling contract with us to agree to the request made by this king, first, not to offend this king, and secondly, not to offend Chen Hong, after all, this is after she lost the bet, she had no choice but to agree to our request, even if Chen Hong knew, it was impossible to blame her, this fold Zhao, young but not simple at all." ”
