Chapter 66: Bad Question
Chapter 66
"Question 1."
As soon as Zhao Hongrun said three words in his mouth, everyone's attention at the banquet suddenly rose, and they were very curious about what kind of novel topic this Eighth Highness was talking about.
Glancing at everyone, Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and said: "I have an imperial sister, suppose one day, I counted the number of my brothers and sisters in the palace and found that my brother is one more than my sister, then, how many more brothers does my imperial sister have than her sisters?" β
"Huh?"
Everyone at the banquet was stunned when they heard this, obviously they had never guessed this kind of question, and they were all a little blindsided for a while.
However, some of them were already stunned after hearing the word "imperial sister", and looked at Princess Yulong sitting on the right side of Zhao Hongrun in amazement, their faces full of surprise.
"Gong ...... Princess? Yang Yi stammered as she looked at Princess Yulong and asked.
He Xinxian's eyes widened.
Although they all thought that Princess Yulong's behavior was a little strange at first, they really didn't guess in this regard, and now that they heard Zhao Hongrun's question, they subconsciously thought of Princess Yulong's identity.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Hongrun reminded with a smile.
During the banquet, everyone hurriedly sat upright, but their eyes turned to Princess Yulong from time to time.
It's no wonder, after all, the prince who has not been out of the cabinet is even rarer than the prince who has not been out of the cabinet, and the great opportunity can only be seen from afar, where is the opportunity to see it up close like this, but unfortunately, Yulong has a silver mask on his face, covering his face from above the cheekbones.
But even so, just half of the face can't help but make them reverie.
"Ahem!" The sixth prince, Zhao Hongzhao, seemed to have noticed the small movements of the little friends, and pretended to cough twice.
Only then did the young scholars put away their minds and refocus their attention on the question raised by Zhao Hongrun, and they looked at Zhao Hongrun in embarrassment, obviously, they had not heard the question clearly just now.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun repeated it again.
For a while, the Yafeng Pavilion became quiet, and everyone was counting Zhao Hongrun's topic with their fingers.
To be honest, this question is not difficult, but the blame is that this question requires a certain amount of logical thinking, as long as you can sort out the order, the answer to this question is nothing more than "1+1-(-1)", that is, three people.
However, Na He Song obviously couldn't straighten out the order of this question, sweating profusely and holding his fingers there, looking helpless.
Because it was a competition between Zhao Hongrun and He Song, the scholars at the banquet did not interject rashly, in fact, I am afraid that they could not figure out the relationship, after all, Zhao Hongrun had two text traps in the question.
"Two more." After a long while, He Song gritted his teeth and replied.
Under everyone's attention, Zhao Hongrun shook his head with a pretended regret: "Wrong! It's three people! β
As he spoke, he explained the correct way of solving the problem to everyone, and the scholars suddenly realized.
And He Song, who heard it from the beginning to the end, suddenly turned pale, after all, he just boasted about Haikou, as long as he made a mistake, he would roll out of Yafeng Pavilion with his head in his hands, and he would be removed from the Yafeng Poetry Club in the future, and now, he did not answer the first question correctly.
"Self-inflicted......
Looking at He Song's pale face, the scholars shook their heads secretly.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongrun did not mean to expel He Song in a hurry, he looked at He Song who was covered in cold sweat and said lightly: "He Gongzi doesn't have to be anxious, there are still a few questions." β
He didn't take He Song's boast seriously at all, as if it was a joke.
This made the hearts of the scholars a little funny.
"The second question, suppose there are four families lined up in a row, and now it is known that family A is next door to family B, and furthermore, family A and family D are not adjacent, if family Ding and family C are not adjacent, then which family is next door to family C?" Zhao Hongrun calmly came up with the second question.
Hearing this question, all the scholars felt like their heads were like paste, and they were in a mess, and even the sixth prince, Zhao Hongzhao, showed a contemplative look.
As for Na He Song, his face became more and more pale.
It is undeniable that this question is more difficult than the previous one, and it is necessary to use the elimination method to eliminate the inferences that one item does not meet the requirements, and finally arrive at the answer.
This is quite a test of logical thinking ability, because in the process of thinking, once the thinking is chaotic, the train of thought will be completely broken, and you can only start again.
Scholars like He Song who have never been exposed to logical thinking problems, they can't even parse the questions, so what can they talk about solving problems?
What's even worse is that He Song is extremely anxious at the moment, and what is needed to analyze logical thinking questions is calm analysis ability.
"Guess...... Guess one!'
He Song secretly glanced at Zhao Hongrun, and saw that he was smiling, as if he was purely waiting to see his jokes, he was angry and anxious in his heart, and guessed wildly: "Yes...... It's the Ding family! β
Yang Yi, a scholar who was also calculating, was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Brother He, the C family and the Ding family are not adjacent to each other, and it has been clearly explained in the question. β
When He Song heard this, he was immediately blindsided.
It turned out that he was so confused that he simply forgot the topic, and simply guessed one, but fortunately he didn't die and guessed one that was contrary to the topic.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "It's the Jia family." β
After that, he picked up the pen that had been prepared on the desk, wrote down the locations of the four families A, B, C, and D in the order of "C, A, B, and D", and passed it to the scholars.
The scholars thought and thought about it, looked and looked at it, and then nodded convincingly, looking at their expressions, as if they had drunk a bowl of ice water in the summer.
And He Song, who didn't answer the two questions correctly, was already a little restless at the moment, and the sweat on his forehead was like a pulp.
"Thirdly, if 'my' son is the father of 'someone's son', what is the relationship between 'someone' and 'me'?"
Since there had been two similar logic questions, the scholars in the banquet gradually found a way, and the quick-witted Sixth Emperor Brother had already thought of the answer even after a while, but this answer, no matter how he looked at it, made him a little crying and laughing.
Only Na He Song stiffened his fingers and was drenched in cold sweat, his mind was full of sons and fathers, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, the more anxious and chaotic, as if he had an illusion like a gold star in his eyes.
After a while, Zhao Hongrun said strangely: "This question is simpler and simpler than the previous question, can't He Gongzi still be able to type?" β¦β¦ The answer is very simple, "someone" is "my" son, "I" is "someone" his father! β
The scholars were stunned when they heard this, or a few people couldn't help laughing, but because of He Song's face, they had to cover their mouths, so they didn't feel uncomfortable.
However, He Song, who had been hit repeatedly, seemed to only notice it, and muttered something to himself with a blank expression.
"None of the three questions were answered correctly, Gongzi He!" Zhao Hongrun glanced at He Song with a smile.
He Song's face flashed with a blush and a burst of paleness, and he gritted his teeth and said in a rough voice: "One more question, His Royal Highness will come up with another question, and I will definitely be able to answer it." β
"Another question? Why? Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly: "Three questions, can't you explain the problem?" β¦β¦ What did Fang Cai He Gongzi say? If you answer a question incorrectly, get out of this Yafeng Pavilion with your head in your arms? What else do you say about being removed from the Yafeng Poetry Club from now on? β
He Song opened his mouth, speechless, his face was ashamed and annoyed.
He gritted his teeth and argued forcefully: "With all due respect, the questions raised by His Royal Highness are all Xiao Dao'er!" β¦β¦ It's so vulgar that it's not enough to be elegant! β
"Still dead duck with a hard mouth?"
Zhao Hongrun narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Why didn't you say this at first? β¦β¦ Oh, His Highness forgot, at that time, Gongzi He was full of confidence in himself. β
And after listening to He Song's words, the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao and the young scholars in the banquet also frowned.
In their opinion, winning is winning, losing is losing, how can there be a bad reason after losing?
This is clearly a cunning word after losing!
As a result, even the young scholars who had a good relationship with He Song on weekdays couldn't help but look at the former with disdain.
He Song also noticed the disdainful eyes of his former companions, and he was bitter but helpless.
Who told him to speak so much before, but now he has not answered all three questions, what do you say to call him? Did you really hold your head and get out of the Yafeng Pavilion? If this thing gets out, won't it make people laugh and lose their big teeth?
And compared to getting out of the Yafeng Pavilion with his head in his hands, it is even more difficult for He Song to accept the removal from the Yafeng Poetry Club, you must know that the Yafeng Poetry Club can be called the most prestigious gathering among the young scholars of Daliang, I don't know how many sons and nephews of powerful and famous families hope to join in, and he He Song finally integrated into it, but he had to be removed from the Poetry Club because of this matter, how can he accept it?
Seeing that he was sweating profusely and still arguing there, Yang Yi kindly reminded: "Brother He, admit the gamble and lose." β¦β¦ In my opinion, you might as well apologize to His Royal Highness the Eighth Highness, and we will also ask for mercy, will His Royal Highness really care about you, and really drive you out regardless of our request? β¦β¦ His Royal Highness is a talented person who has outwitted the East Palace, and he will definitely not be as knowledgeable as you. β
"This Yang Yi ......"
Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised, after all, this Yang Yi was persuading He Song while raising him Zhao Hongrun and gagging him with praise.
Zhao Hongrun is not disgusted by this approach, after all, he has no deep hatred with Na He Song, it is nothing more than that He Song is too arrogant, to put it bluntly, he is too old-fashioned, relying on the fact that he and the sixth prince Hongzhao had a good time in the past, he came out to pick his thorn Zhao Hongrun, and kept saying what the rules of the Yafeng Poetry Club were, it was simply looking for a beating.
If it weren't for the face of the Sixth Emperor Brother, Zhao Hongrun really wanted this guy to understand what he Zhao Hongrun's rules were!
But since this Yang Yi said so, Zhao Hongrun is not unable to sell him a face, after all, at the beginning, it was also this Yang Yi who saw the eyes of the six princes and took the initiative to stand up for the round, which can be regarded as a disguised solution to the previous rude situation for Zhao Hongrun, and there is no favor for him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun no longer urged, and drank wine by himself, as if to show his attitude.
Seeing this, all the scholars during the banquet had a good impression of this Eighth Highness, and they all opened their mouths to persuade He Song, but He Song bit his so-called truth and refused to admit defeat, which greatly disappointed the scholars who had a good relationship with him, so they simply let him go.
"One more question, just one more question!"
He Song looked at Zhao Hongrun with dead eyes.
"Hongrun ......" The sixth prince Hongzhao looked at Zhao Hongrun in embarrassment.
"It seems that the emperor's face is on the side, so let him go."
The sixth prince glanced at Zhao Hongrun.
Zhao Hongrun saw this with a happy face, shook his head and sighed: "That's it, for the sake of the face of the six emperor brothers and you, I will come up with a question that you are familiar with, if you answer it, I should not have heard what you said before." β
He Song's expression suddenly perked.
Zhao Hongrun hesitated for a moment, and said: "One person climbs high, the higher the heavier." β¦β¦ Guess a word. β
He Song pondered for a moment, and said with joy on his face: "It's a fall!" β¦β¦ Gu Yun, ascending is easy to fall heavy. β
"Such a simple question? It seems that Hongyun still gives me face......
The sixth prince Hongzhao was also stunned when he heard the question, and he was really relieved in his heart.
However, to everyone's puzzlement, Zhao Hongrun didn't know if he didn't hear it clearly, and said to He Song in surprise: "What? You say louder. β
Seeing this, He Song said loudly: "Fall! β
"Good!" Zhao Hongrun suddenly showed a strange smile on his face: "You win, sit down." β
"Huh?" Not only was He Song stunned, but even all the scholars in the banquet showed strange expressions.
After a while, the Yafeng Pavilion suddenly burst into laughter, and Na He Song immediately reacted, holding back his face and turning red.
"No wonder my father loves Hongrun so much, and he also calls him an inferior son, but he really has a bad temperament......
The sixth prince, Zhao Hongzhao, smiled bitterly.
Only then did he realize that he was still too naΓ―ve.
