Seeing the hundred officials walking towards the hall one after another, in the corner, Chu Yun clapped his hands and stood up, and said, "Don't play, don't play~, the competition is about to start~." ”

Princess Shouning threw away the branch in her hand, stood up angrily, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph~!" You're cheating~, I'm obviously going to win~. ”

Chu Yun pursed his lips, pointed to the door of the hall, and said, "I don't believe you see it yourself~, your father and emperor are here~, it's not good to go late~." ”

After speaking, he took Xiao Lening on the side and walked towards the Lizheng Palace.

Just kidding, a manly husband, playing the chess game of "wolf eats sheep" with a ten-year-old girl, do you still need to play tricks~?

Need...... Do you want .......

Princess Shouning could only stomp her feet angrily, glared at Chu Yun's back, and quickly followed.

"Now that the envoys of the State of Chu have arrived~, let's start the third literary test directly~." After a eunuch read out the rules of the competition, Emperor Xia didn't say anything and directly announced the start of the competition.

The old man of the Chu State stood up, and the eyes of the courtiers of the Xia State looked at Scholar Xiao.

Scholar Xiao lowered his head, looked at his nose, and looked at his ground.

Emperor Xia glanced in a certain direction and said: "Although today is a debate on the scriptures~, but no matter what~, this old gentleman is a generation of Wenzong~, don't be too rude to Chu County~." ”

Chu Yun pursed his lips, respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, do you seem to be a rude person~?

As soon as Emperor Xia's words fell, a trace of astonishment appeared on the faces of the three princes of Chu State, and the several envoys behind him did not come back to their senses.

As for the hundred officials of the Xia Kingdom, they were even more dumbfounded.

How is it him again~!

Shouldn't the person who competes today be Scholar Xiao~? Why did you suddenly become a son of Chu County, what is Your Majesty doing~?

Let the young Chu Xianzi go to test the scriptures with the Wenzong of Chu State------ didn't they hear it wrong just now~?

The old man of Chu looked at the young man who came out of the crowd, and a trace of expression finally appeared on Gujing Wubo's face~.

He frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at Emperor Xia above and asked, "Your Majesty the Emperor is sure that you want this person to argue the scriptures on behalf of the Xia Kingdom and the old man~?" ”

The envoys of Chu also showed dissatisfaction on their faces, how noble Mr. Meng's identity is, in Chu State, even His Majesty is also courteous to Mr. Meng, in their opinion, even the great Confucianism of Xia State is also far behind Mr. Meng, such a critical competition, Xia State actually sent such a junior, isn't this detrimental to Meng Lao's identity~?

"You have no jokes~, since I said that I would let Chu Xianzi appear~, naturally I will not regret it~." Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, old man~, this one is a win or a lose~, and I, Xia Guodu, admit it~." ”

When the envoys of Chu heard this, they snorted in their hearts, is it still a victory or a defeat, do you have the possibility of winning~?

"Your Majesty~, please think twice~!"

"Yes, Your Majesty~, this is absolutely unacceptable~!"

"Chu Xianzi is too young after all~, let's let Xiao University go to school~."

The hundred officials didn't care that the envoys of Chu State were still present, and they all spoke out to admonish. Even if Chu Xianzi defeated the genius of Chu in poetry yesterday, what is compared today is Jingyi, it is a real talent and real learning, and you can't play a little fancy~!

"You don't need to say much~, I have made up my mind~." As soon as Emperor Xia spoke, he shattered all the illusions of the courtiers.

The veterans leaned lazily on the pillar, looking at the anxious civil officials and pouting, Your Majesty did things, when did you disappoint the courtiers, since he thought that Chu Xiaozi could do it, how could there be a gift that could not be won~?

Chu Ze, the servant of the ministry, couldn't say what expression was on his face, from beginning to end, he didn't know how much ability his nephew had .......

However, Qin Xiang never said a word, and glanced at Chu Yun with eyes full of meaning, no one understands the horror of the old man of Chu State better than him, why does Your Majesty think that Chu Yun can win~?

The envoys of Chu are still in the palace, and the competition has begun, even if the courtiers are unwilling in their hearts, they can only keep their mouths shut at this time.

They looked at the two people in the hall with slightly desperate eyes, one was born at the age of a weak crown, and was extremely handsome, and the other had a face like a withered pine, drooping and old, if today it was better to be more handsome than who was born~?

That's it, the literary test was won anyway, it's not too embarrassing, if the martial arts test wins beautifully, the lost face can still be saved.

After Emperor Xia spoke, the old man surnamed Meng didn't say much, turned his head to look at Chu Yun, and asked, "Keming Junde~, to pro-Nine Clans~." The nine tribes are harmonious~, and the people of Pingzhang ~. The people are clear~, and the concord is ...... all nations, what is the explanation~? ”

The courtier's face began to change solemnly, and from now on, the competition officially began.

This Dawenzong was not embarrassed by Chu Xianzi at the beginning, and what he asked was a famous sentence in the first article of "Shangshu" "Yaodian", but it is impossible for anyone who has read some books not to know this sentence~.

If Chu Xianzi can't even answer this sentence, there is no need for this competition to continue.

"From "Shangshu Yaodian"~." Chu Yun said in his heart that this old man is also very kind, he likes this kind of question the most, just read it directly according to the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics".

"Keming Junde, to pro-nine clans. A person who can be wise and virtuous appoints him to reconcile the relatives of his ancestors and great-grandsons. The nine tribes are harmonious, and the people are peaceful. Both, already. The people, the officials. Words and nine clans and peace Zhang Ming. The people are clear, and the nations are in harmony. Li Min is changing time. Zhao Yiming also. Cooperation, cooperation. Lai, the congregation. time, yes. Yong, and also. It is said that all the people in the world have changed, and it is based on customs and Yamato~. ”

No one was surprised that Chu Yun could answer this sentence, but his choice of words and sentences made the eyes of several scholars shine, because this was almost a standard answer, and it was not surprising that a well-read Confucian could give such an answer, but from the mouth of a young man, the meaning was very different.

At least let them know that Chu Xianzi's attainments in Jingyi are much better than they imagined.

The old man surnamed Meng nodded, a hint of appreciation appeared on his face, and he did not speak again.

It was really the answer of the young man in front of him who was really impeccable, whether it was the paraphrasing or the use of sentences, he couldn't find the slightest fault.

Chu Yun is naturally no stranger to the rules of the competition, the old man on the other side does not ask questions, then it is his turn, since he was so kind to himself just now, he naturally will not be embarrassed by the other party, and asked: "Guild Qi Hou Yu Huan~, Mrs. Jiang Zhi Qi ........." ”

"The Legend of the Ram~, the third year of Huan Gong, September~." Before Chu Yun's words were finished, the old man surnamed Meng said indifferently.

Most of the officials in the court were still thinking hard about where this sentence came from, and when they heard this, they all raised their heads and looked at the old man of Chu State in astonishment, and they were shocked in their hearts.

To what extent is this great Wenzong familiar with the Thirteen Classics~?

Scholar Xiao shook his head, the Thirteen Classics are extremely important scripture and meaning works, and that Chu State Wenzong is afraid that he is familiar with every sentence in it, and he can't help it at all.

"Guild Qi Marquis Yu Huan~, Mrs. Jiang Zhi Ziqi ......, from the "Ram Biography" page ~, how many paragraphs~, how many lines~?"

Chu Yun looked at the old man surnamed Meng, and said secretly in his heart: "Hmph~!" Let you pretend to be forced~! ”

The expression on the face of the old man surnamed Meng froze instantly, and he had already thought about how to ask questions next time, but what he wanted to say was blocked in his throat.

Scholar Xiao opened his mouth wide, and the eyes of the hundred officials widened, some of them didn't believe their ears.

Can you still ask ------ such a question~?

Emperor Jing's body shrank slightly behind the dragon chair, stretched out a hand and rubbed his eyebrows------ covering his face by the way~.

When the disbelief expressions of the three princes of Chu had not disappeared, an envoy of Chu had already reacted, stepped forward, and said loudly: "How can this be reasonable~, what kind of question is this~?" ”

"Can't you do it~?" Chu Yun ignored the envoy of the Chu State, turned his head to look at the eunuch who had just read out the rules, and asked, "There are rules that you can't ask like this~?" ”

After the eunuch was stunned, he shook his head and said, "No ......, no ~." As long as the question is contained in the scriptures~. ”

Hundreds of officials look at each other, of course there is no such rule, but everyone is a scholar, and they also want to be faced, how can anyone really ask like this~?

This kind of question doesn't make any sense at all~!

But according to the rules of debate, Chu Xianzi's question ------ does not seem to be impossible~.

After all, his question is not beyond the scope of the scriptures, and if he really knows the Thirteen Classics very well, he may be able to really answer this question.

However, looking at the appearance of that Great Wenzong of the Qi Kingdom, he seemed to be ...... and had not yet become familiar with it to this extent.

The envoy of the Chu State turned red, and after the old man surnamed Meng waved his hand, he glared at Chu Yun viciously, and retreated helplessly.

The old man surnamed Meng looked at Chu Yun and said, "Your question~, the old man really doesn't know~, but~, this question~, can you answer it~?" ”

Baiguan's face is strange, this great Wenzong may have really been stunned by Chu Xianzi's question just now, since Chu Xianzi can ask such a question, how can he not be prepared in the slightest~?

It seems that the reason why Your Majesty will let Chu Xianzi play this time is that she has already expected this scene, and it will be difficult to win head-on, so he will make a surprise move, Your Majesty is really Your Majesty~!

"Sir, is this the second question~?" Chu Yun looked at the old man surnamed Meng and asked.

The old man said lightly: "If your question~, you can't even answer it yourself~, then according to the rules~, the old man can't be considered a lose~." ”

Chu Yun nodded and said: "Guild Qi Marquis Yu Huan~, Mrs. Jiang Zhi Ziqi ......, from the eighth page of "The Legend of the Ram"~, the sixth paragraph~, the third line~. ”

In the era of relying on modulation printing, it is undoubtedly hellish difficulty to write a book and establish a biography, some Confucians can't produce a book in their lifetime, like these Confucian classics, although they have been circulated for hundreds of thousands of years, but they are not like later generations There are dozens or hundreds of versions of a book, and the people of Xia and Chu read the same "Legend of the Ram", so Chu Yun's question has only one answer.

A eunuch had already taken the book "The Legend of the Ram", and Scholar Xiao personally confirmed that Chu Xianzi's answer was exactly right.

The old man had already thought at this time that since Chu Yun could ask such a question, he would definitely be able to answer it, but he only felt that the dignified Wenzong was so humiliated by a junior, and he was slightly angry in his heart, and looked at him and asked: "Since this is the case, you will tell the old man that the inside is the father and the son, the outside is the monarch and the minister, and the people are also great." Father and son are gracious, and the monarch and the lord respect ......, which book is this, how many pages, how many lines~? ”

Baiguan sighed in his heart, although Chu Xianzi's trick was wonderful, it could only be used once, if the other party asked the same question, he would definitely not be able to answer it.

A look of pride appeared on the faces of the envoys of the Chu State, no matter how strange the soldiers were, after all, they were just lifting stones and shooting themselves in the foot.......

Chu Yun thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Mencius, Gongsun Chouxia~, page 12~, fifth paragraph~, thirteenth line~. ”

The old man surnamed Meng was expressionless, and the hundred officials sighed secretly in their hearts, even if Chu Xianzi made up an answer casually, he would be denied after a while, and it would be useless at all.

Fortunately, the Hongwen Pavilion was not far from the Lizheng Palace, and after a while, a eunuch took the book "Mencius" and handed it over to Xiao Daxue.

Scholar Xiao shook his head, and after turning a few pages, he said: ""Mencius: Gongsun Chouxia", page 12, paragraph 5, line 13, it is written that ......, the inside is father and son, the outside is the monarch and the minister, and the person is also the great Lun. Father and son, monarch and minister, monarch and minister, monarch and minister....... ”

Finally realizing something, Scholar Xiao raised his head violently, his eyes stared at Chu Yun deadly, his breathing was short, and he didn't know that the "Mencius" in his hand had fallen to the ground.

"This~! How is this possible~? The old man surnamed Meng finally raised his head, his cloudy old eyes showed a thick disbelief, strode over, picked up the copy of "Mencius", and quickly flipped it.

After a while, he slowly closed the book, took a deep breath, and when he looked at Chu Yun again, the expression on his face was completely different~!
