Sima Shu stood in front of the palace, straightened his clothes, and said: "The son came to the court according to the order, but just now I saw the sun warming, I wanted to dry the book, so I came in late for a while, please forgive my father." ”

"Drying books? Did the emperor bring a book? ”

"Father, the books that the sons and daughters have dried are all in the abdomen, and they are undressed and look messy, not disrespectful to their father."

When Jia Mi heard this, he said in his heart: "Okay, you Sima Shu has such a big breath!" ”

The ministers were also surprised when they heard it, could it be that Sima Shu was different from last time, and he came prepared? Could it be that in a month he really recovered completely?

The ministers were all quietly watching the development of the situation, and Jia Mi said: "Your Majesty, the time of a month has arrived, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still the same as last time, please personally test His Royal Highness." ”

"Exactly."

Zhang Hua played again: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that the last time Lu Guogong came up with the question was too simple, the literary test only made a pair, and the martial arts test sent a veteran, which is too underestimated His Royal Highness the Prince, and the minister is too embarrassed as the Taifu, so the minister invites us to try the Erudite scholar and His Royal Highness in the court, and the martial arts master and His Royal Highness will compete in martial arts, so that we can try the true level of His Royal Highness." ”

"Zhang Sikong, but last time the prince couldn't even pass a simple competition, ...... this time?" Sima Zhen questioned.

"Your Majesty, at this time, at that time, the prince was bewitched and misguided, his studies and martial arts have been abandoned, and it will definitely be difficult to complete any competition, but now after a month of recuperation, His Royal Highness has completely recovered and returned to the past, so the emperor does not have to worry about the difficulty of the competition."

"Zhang Sikong, what should you see?"

"Just now the minister said that he wanted to pick a polymath and the prince to compare the literature, throughout the court and the erudite and talented person is none other than Lu Guogong, the national prince is the head of the twenty-four literary friends, talented, if he can test with the prince, he can try the level of His Royal Highness."

Jia Mi immediately agreed, and in his opinion, it was very easy to defeat Sima Shu.

Jia Nanfeng also thought secretly, with Mi'er's strength, it was more than enough to defeat a crazy prince, she sat up straight, waiting to see Sima Shu's jokes, waiting for Sima Zhen to announce the abolition of the reserve.

Zhang Hua said: "Since Lu Guogong agrees, then you might as well let me ask the question, as long as Guogong can do it, he will inevitably ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do it, if His Royal Highness the Prince can't do it, it means that the prince has no good knowledge and has lost expectations." ”

Jia Mi said: "Lord Zhang, as the crown prince and concubine, you will inevitably have ...... questions."

"Lu Guogong doesn't have to worry, if he is suspicious of the old minister's question, he will definitely change the topic according to Guogong's intention until Guogong approves it."

Hearing Zhang Hua say this, Jia Mi didn't want to say anything more, and replied; "Then ask Mr. Zhang to ask the question."

"Okay, I'll start with the first question, that is, endorsement, the bibliography is "Historical Records"."

"Master Zhang, although it is too simple to memorize the "Historical Records", my father also agrees, because after all, I have to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it will be ...... if it is too difficult."

Jia Mi thought that Sima Shu would not be able to recite such a book, so he said: "Lord Zhang, in order to let you avoid suspicion, my father will choose a section by himself, how about choosing the "Book of Heavenly Officials"?" ”

"Yes, the old minister said that the topic should be approved by Lu Guogong."

"Zhonggong Tianji Star, one of them, Taiyi is also a permanent resident, next to the three stars and three dukes, or the son is ......"

Jia Mi just shook his head and recited the beginning, but was interrupted by Sima Shu: "Slow down......"

Jia Mi glanced at Sima Shu contemptuously: "Doesn't Your Highness agree to recite the official book of the heavens?" ”

Sima Shu said: "I don't agree with the bibliography selected by the Guogong, but I have a small suggestion, the Tianguan Book can be memorized by even a child, why don't we have something new, how about reciting it upside down?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar, some ridiculed, and some said that the prince spoke wildly, and no one would believe that the book could be memorized backwards, which is no wonder, although people praise a person for memorizing which book is called memorizing it backwards, but after all, it is just a saying, and no one has seen anyone who can really memorize the book backwards.

Jia Mi immediately played: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is speechless, it seems that his mind has not fully recovered, I think it may never be recovered, the minister asks the emperor to expel him from His Royal Highness, and issue an edict ......"

Before the words of the abolished prince could be spoken, Sima Shu interrupted again: "Lu Guogong, I don't have any boundaries, I am telling the truth, if you don't agree, it can only mean that you can't do it, but there is no need to deny others." ”

Of course, Jia Mi couldn't do it, he brushed his sleeves and said, "Okay, then Your Highness will recite a paragraph for everyone to hear!" ”

"Of course you can, but please also ask Guogong to pick a random section to recite it, I will recite it backwards in the back, and we will recite it at the same time to see who can recite it faster."

Obediently, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by Sima Shu's words, and the backward recite is faster than the main one, and when he says such a thing, Sima Shu is either crazy or a god!

Everyone looked at Jia Mi, and he had to pick a backlash: "It is against the stars, a small battle." Five stars, big fights. It offended, Taibai went out of its south, and the south was defeated. Out of its north, the north is defeated. Xing Ji, Wu, no, Wen. The color is white and five-mang, and the fleas are lunar eclipse......"

When Jia Mi just carried it, Sima Shu also recited this paragraph in the book under the gaze of everyone: "The heroine Chang Xiaoguo is weak and the country is weak, and it is said that the battle for the bright day and the victory over Taibai through the sky is to see the situation, and on the contrary, it is all fierce and auspicious, and the back of the right is out of the west, and the west is the punishment of the left...... The big five-star small war and the stars offended. ”

Just when Jia Mi still had two sentences to memorize, Sima Shu finished reciting this paragraph backwards, and it was really faster than memorizing.

Jia Mi's face turned from red to purple, he was angry, he didn't believe that a person who had been defeated would become so powerful in an instant, and did an impossible thing, did he have the help of gods and men? That's impossible! But what's going on?

Jia Mi memorized a few other paragraphs, and Sima Shu recited them accurately.

Not only Jia Mi, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Jia Nanfeng, did not believe that Sima Shu could do it backwards, but the facts were in front of her, there was no doubt, she knew that the current situation was unfavorable to Jia Mi, it seemed that Sima Shu had really recovered, and he was underestimating him, if the literary test was carried out again, Jia Mi would be even more embarrassed, she hurriedly asked Sima Zhen to cancel the literary examination and directly send someone to compete in martial arts, it turned out that she had already prepared a candidate, that is, Meng Guan, the minister under the skirt.

Meng Guan became a hero in the minds of the people from Guanzhong, and no one knew that all this credit depended on Zu Ti.

Meng Guan followed Zu Ti's suggestion and told Jia Nanfeng in advance that the government and the opposition were pointing fingers at the two of them, so it was better to transfer him to a local place as an official, so as to avoid some gossip, and there were changes in the palace, and he could also be regarded as foreign aid. Jia Nanfeng agreed, and made him the captain of Dongqiang and the right general, which can be described as infinite scenery and complacent.

A few days ago, Meng Guan went to Beijing to report on his work, but in fact, he just came to a private meeting at the beheof of Jia Nanfeng, although he was extremely reluctant, but there was no way, after all, he couldn't get rid of her now. Just when Jia Nanfeng was employing people, he wanted Meng Guan to go to the palace to compete with Sima Shu, and explained that Meng Guan could not be merciful when he was on the field, and he could unload his arms and legs as he pleased, as long as Sima Shu was disabled, he would be rewarded.

Although Meng Guan listened to Zu Li's advice and didn't want to go to the troubled waters again, Jia Nanfeng let him go into battle, and he had no choice but to avoid difficulties and go to the palace.

Sima Zhen said: "The prince's diligent academic progress is not comparable to the past, which is enough to show that the prince is conscientious in his studies, and he is very relieved." The literary test ends here, and now the martial arts competition is carried out, and the right general Meng Guan of Xuandong Qiang is in the hall. ”

Meng Guan came to the palace to pay homage, Sima said sincerely: "Meng Guan, Xuan you go to the palace just for a small thing, the Manchu Dynasty knows that you are strong in martial arts, so I will let you learn a few tricks with the prince to test the prince's martial arts, are you willing?" ”

"Wechen obeys."

"Okay, give the two of them swords, start the competition, and see if the prince can take a few moves."

The civil and military ministers each took a few steps back, Sima Shu and Meng Guan came to the center of the hall, each took his own sword, and both set up the door to test the swordsmanship.
