Chapter 514: The First Smart Man of the Ming Dynasty (Second Update)

Since Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er's "adultery" was revealed, their relationship at home began to become awkward, Lin Dai hid in the east wing for a few days and did not come out, she didn't think about tea and dinner every day, and her little face was thin, which made Shen Xi, who went to visit, feel distressed.

Shen Xi's words were still useless, and he had a guilty conscience, so he had to accompany Xiao Nizi more, even if she ignored her, she sat next to her and guarded her, and she didn't get along with Xie Yun'er alone for a few days.

Xie Yun'er originally wanted to admit her mistake to Lin Dai, but after thinking about it carefully, it was a matter of course for her to sleep with her father-in-law, so why was it wrong?

In the end, Xie Yun'er complained to Shen Xi a little, feeling that if Shen Xi didn't tell Lin Dai in advance, there would be a final embarrassing situation, because she herself realized that it was not only Lin Dai who broke her and Shen Xi that day, but also she who broke Shen Xi and Lin Dai.

It wasn't until Shen Xi explained that she and Lin Dai had not yet had a round of room that Xie Yun'er was suspicious and no longer complained about Shen Xi.

It's just a little couple playing tricks, Xie Yun'er is not surprised, in fact, since the first day she met Shen Xi and Lin Dai, she was quite envious of Shen Xi and Lin Dai's childhood sweethearts, she never thought that she would marry Shen Xi one day in the future, and she would fall in love with this little Langjun.

Shen Xi walks around the house, Zhan Shifu and the palace every day, and his main official business is to accompany the prince to study, the more naughty the prince, the lighter his official affairs, and the two days off are not counted, he often sits in the morning or in the afternoon, comes back and sorts out the records, and the task is completed.

Even Xie Qian, who assigned errands to Shen Xi, felt that Shen Xi was a little too "idle", and several times when he went to Zhan Shifu to arrange work, he mentioned that if Shen Xi was free, he could go back to the Hanlin Academy to help repair the book, and the revision of the "Daming Huidian" was stagnant.

Shen Xi's answer was very simple: I am busy with business, and I will forgive you for your fate.

On this day, Shen Xi just entered the palace, and before he arrived at the Fang Palace, he saw the prince Zhu Houzhao sitting alone in the pavilion by the Dongyu River to eat snacks.

"You wait!"

Just as Shen Xi turned a blind eye and walked straight through the pavilion, the prince spoke and stopped Shen Xi.

"See the Prince."

Shen Xi saluted respectfully.

The prince came over with the pastry and yawned: "When you see this prince, it's just over, what do you mean...... Don't think I don't know you, your name is Shen Xi, right? You are often seen holding a pen next to you, what are you writing? ”

Shen Xi said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the records made by the ministers every day are the daily life and study of the prince. ”

"Oh."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "Is there anything to record, I read a lot of books on weekdays, can you write them down?" ”

The prince is not only playful, but also conceited, this is the problem that the people around him give him habitually, always touting how smart he is as a prince, how outstanding he is among his peers, blowing that it is heaven and earth, but in fact, he is just smart and jumps out of a little, if it is not for the prince's halo, it will be difficult for such a self-righteous bear child to have a future in the future.

"Try to record it as much as possible, and there will be no mistakes or omissions." Shen Xi Road.

The prince snorted lightly, his expression was dissatisfied, and said: "I heard that you are the champion of the current department, and you are the smartest person in my Ming Dynasty, I have a question for you now, if you can't answer, then the title of the smartest person will belong to me, are you willing to compete?" ”

Shen Xi has been in the limelight recently, mainly because he made the Mongols embarrassed in the court, a thirteen-year-old champion Lang defeated the Mongolian division with wisdom, and the people have now recited the story of Shen Xi, not to mention the palace This kind of place where the news is very closed, what news is there in the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids will talk about it, and it is very easy for the prince to know.

But to test your knowledge with the prince, this is obviously not necessary, it will not be glorious to win, but it will make the prince hold a grudge and wear small shoes for you in the future. If he loses, it doesn't count as a shame, the prince will be even more arrogant and domineering, and he will not study hard in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has just read for a few more years, and he is naturally not as good as the prince in terms of talent and learning." The prince is famous, and there are many famous teachers who have learned from others, and his academic attainments in the future will definitely be above the ministers. ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Don't talk this nonsense, you said that you will be better than you in the future, that is, you are not as good as you now?" This palace commands you to compare with me, if you disobey...... Hmph, I'll find someone to spank you, beat you so that your skin is open, and you can't take care of yourself! ”

The bear child is already very fatal, and he is still a monstrous and powerful bear child, to the point of lawlessness. Even if I am not your daily speaker, I can be regarded as half a gentleman of you, as the prince is not polite to Mr., he actually wants to beat me, is this a minister or a teacher?

"Your Highness, please ask for a question." Shen Xi Road.

Zhu Houzhao's face was a little proud: "Let's say that there are three birds in the tree, I shot one down with a bow and arrow, how many are there in the tree?" ”

What kind of problem is this, a brain teaser? Or a pediatric brain teaser! Only an eight-year-old child like Zhu Houzhao would feel that someone who can answer such a question is a real "smart person".

Shen Xi pretended to be contemplative, and after a long while, he said: "Back to Your Highness, the minister thinks ...... There should be two left. ”

"Wrong!" Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and said, "They all say that you are smart, I shot down the bird on the tree, and the two birds next to me flew away?" There wasn't a single bird left in the tree! ”

Shen Xi arched his hand and said: "The prince's logical thinking is very strong, and the minister is ashamed of himself, but the minister has one thing to ask, how does His Highness know that the two birds next to him will definitely fly away?" ”

Shen Xi praised Zhu Houzhao's "logical thinking" ability, with Zhu Houzhao's knowledge, he naturally couldn't understand this, he tilted his head and said: "I shot the bird down, and the two next to me saw it, can you not fly away?" If you lose, you lose, but you are not allowed to rely on the account, and now this palace orders you to give me the position of the smartest person in the Ming Dynasty! ”

"If Your Highness wants it, just take it." Shen Xi said, "But the minister still doesn't understand, in case the two birds next to him are blind...... And they are deaf, or are they paying attention to something else and don't notice that their companion next to them has been shot? ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked, and was stunned for a moment.

He usually plays with people, or discusses knowledge with people, or plays with this kind of brain teaser, and no one will play tricks with him.

The biggest difference between Shen Xi and these people is that he is open-minded and will not be limited to a corner of the problem.

"And how do you know they're blind and deaf?" Zhu Houzhao's nose wrinkled slightly, glaring at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi shook his head and said: "It is precisely because the prince's question is not very clear that the minister does not know, so he has to ask it clearly." Even if the two birds are not blind or deaf, but three birds are in the tree, it is likely that a family of three, one is shot, the other two may not go, if you want to mourn this bird, then more birds may fly, then the answer to the question is not one none, or two, but many, as for how many, it depends on how many relatives the bird was shot by the bow and arrow. ”

Shen Xi asked himself that there was still a gap between him and those ministers who could only talk about it, but compared to a bear child, his eloquence was amazingly high. Even if Zhu Houzhao had ten more brains, he would not be able to outperform him in such a polemical issue.

Zhu Houzhao stared, his mouth opened slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he asked in an almost questioning tone: "The bird is also going to be funeral?" ”

"If a person wants to go to the funeral, why can't the bird go to the funeral? In fact, the students have a shallow opinion, the answer to the question comes from seeking the truth, and the truth is through practice, if the prince himself experimented, when the three birds were side by side on the tree, he personally shot down one of them, and saw the reaction of the other two, only then would he know how many of them were on the tree. ”

Shen Xi respectfully made a very good suggestion.

But this suggestion is nonsense at all, Zhu Houzhao is playful, and he can't learn well, let alone riding a bow horse, plus finding three birds on the tree at the same time, such a unique condition, it is simply an impossible practice.

Zhu Houzhao was a little annoyed in his heart, glaring at Shen Xi as if he was looking for a fork, and at this moment, Liu Jin's voice came from a distance: "Prince, the old slave can be regarded as having found you." When did you get here...... Oh, the prince is dirty, you go and change the prince's clothes! ”

Because Zhu Youzhu and his wife knew that the prince was playful, they had instructed the servants who took care of the prince to keep the prince's appearance neat and tidy at all times, and the change of clothes was always on the side.

Zhu Houzhao went over and asked Liu Jin and the others to serve and change their clothes, and at the same time turned his head and glared at Shen Xi viciously, as if to say, you wait, I will definitely take the title of the smartest person from you when I turn around.

When the prince left accompanied by Liu Jin and others, Jin Gui was late, and he didn't know what had happened before.

"Prince?"

Jin Gui looked at the back of the distant figure, "It's nothing, right?" ”

Shen Xi said: "It's okay, the prince asked me a question......

Jin Gui immediately picked up the pen and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Shen Xi was puzzled: "You're not going to record the prince's question, are you?" ”

"Of course, it is rare for the prince to ask about academic matters, if he doesn't remember it, it is the mistake of being a minister. Besides, I will keep a record of this matter, and I will not record it in court, but I will keep it for future reference. ”

The records of the prince's daily life and study are divided into important and unimportant, one is that the record will be presented to the emperor, which belongs to the "essence version", and the content of this essence version is mainly the prince's reading, so that the emperor can keep abreast of his son's reading progress.

The other is less important.

If the prince is ill, he will find the mistakes and omissions in the prince's daily life from these documents similar to the emperor's living notes, so as to prevent the slightest mistake, and the emperor does not have the heart to read the prince's daily living records on weekdays.

The affairs of the crown prince must be recorded after all, in case the emperor is held accountable for incomplete records.

Shen Xi has been working in Zhan Shifu for a few days, and he naturally understands the rules, nods, and tells the prince's previous questions and his answers one by one.

Jin Gui couldn't help but smile after recording it: "Shen Zhongyun doesn't feel like this, it's not what a teacher said." ”
