Since the lawsuit, Lin Lan has not treated the ancients as idiots. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been a few months since Prince Liu's construction of the pagoda, but Lin Lan is still staring closely, wanting to see what is wrong. He doesn't say much to anyone in power. If you talk too much, you will lose, in case you catch the wind and catch the shadow, and you will be suspicious of others, but you will endure it all over the body.

It's a fox, and it's always showing its tail. Lin Lan only hoped that he could know something in advance, because all the unpredictable things in his mind were those things in the Grand View Garden written by Cao Gong.

Various poetry societies and societies are still arguing about whether the sun is near the beginning of the day or the middle of the day. This question is not only widely circulated among literati, but even among the common people.

Indeed, on both counts alone, the two arguments underpinning this question are contradictory.

The attendant in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Rites couldn't hold it back, this is a matter of a country's face. was asked by a barbarian woman, or such an ordinary question, where to put this face?

If there are vexatious questions such as how many stars are in the sky and how many drops of water in the Yellow River are, they can be ignored, but the question raised by the barbarian girl is indeed a question that can be answered, but from two angles, it is not easy to answer.

The bounty was added and increased, from the beginning of fifty taels, all the way soared, and when there were two days left before the seven-day limit of the barbarian girl, many nobles in the capital increased the bounty to two thousand taels. In other words, whoever can answer this question, two thousand taels of silver is in the bag.

Fame and fortune are available, but those who have taken some of the Four Books and Five Classics have been able to do it, and when they asked this question about Confucius, these Confucian scholars who regarded Confucianism and the scriptures as the foundation of their lives were all broken.

Several great Confucian scholars of the Ministry of Rites looked through a large number of ancient books and searched the entire library, but they did not find any answers to such questions. A few old Confucian students had red eyes, and they were asked by a barbarian girl, which is simply a shame!

There was no news from the palace, which made these Confucian people in the Ministry of Rites feel even more uneasy. Taifu Wang Yan and Zai Fu Yang Weili, the two heads of civil officials, are silent, if there is an answer, they would have been in the Golden Palace a long time ago.

"You say that the beginning of the day is near, so why is it warm in the middle of the day? You said that the middle of the day is near, so why is it so big at the beginning of the day, official, it is really an impossible question to answer. Tanchun smiled.

Lin Lan sat on a chair and washed her feet, took the tea handed by Tanchun, blew it, and said, "What can't be answered." ”

"Then you say, is it the beginning of the day, or the middle of the day?"

Lin Lan yawned and said, "Stupid." Of course it's just as close. "Ignoring the slight gap, according to the macro perspective, the distance is fundamentally the same, the so-called distance and proximity, but it is just the intuitive feeling of people.

Tanchun was a little unconvinced, "How do the officials explain these two points of view?" ”

"I said it's as close, how can you refute me?"

Tanchun's eyes turned into a crescent moon smile, and he grinned: "Of these two reasons, either of which can refute the official's point of view." ”

Lin Lan put the tea aside and said, "Your two reasons themselves contradict each other and are untenable, how can they be used to refute me?" It's like two suspected murderers, they both say that the other party is the murderer, so their testimony, do you think the official will believe it? ”

Tanchun glanced at him and said, "Official, you are using strong words. The beginning of the day is obviously larger than the middle of the day, this is what you have seen with your own eyes, how can it be false? She closed the ledger and yawned heavily.

Lin Lan said: "Look at the feet in my wooden basin, have they become bigger?" ”

"It's getting bigger." Tanchun didn't know what Lin Lan meant by this.

Lin Lan lifted her feet out of the water and said, "Then my feet have really changed?" Seeing is not necessarily believing. ”

Lin Lan wore slippers and yawned and lay down on the bed.

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, and said with a red face: "Official, your feet haven't been dried yet, you can't be lazy and drill into the bed!" ”

"Wipe it off." Lin Lan's eyes were closed, and she said casually.

Tanchun rolled his eyes and said, "I really didn't wipe it this time." As he spoke, he picked up the cloth hanging on the side, carefully dried his feet for Lin Lan, and before he could complain, he was hugged into the bed......

"Official, I haven't taken off my clothes yet......"

……

……

In the Anqing Hall on the side of the Central Office, Yang Weili pointed to a few cases, and the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Guozijian Beiyong, and many famous Confucian scholars in Beijing gathered in the hall, waiting for the answer obtained by the power of the Beijing Division.

It stands to reason that all of you here are knowledgeable masters, and if you stand up at random, they are all famous people with both ability and political integrity, but in the face of this question of barbarian women, they have nothing to say.

Huang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites thought about it for a long time and said: "If it doesn't work, let's talk about it at the beginning of the day, after all, the sundial at the morning sun is indeed bigger than the middle of the day, and as for the cool at the beginning of the day, the warm in the middle of the day is ...... Just find a reason to prevaricate. ”

Yang Weili shook his head and sighed with a smile: "Huang Shilang, your prevarication, is it prevarication for the princess of Xia Kingdom, or for prevarication of the world's mouths?" Only by being justified and well-founded can you win convincing. ”

"This ...... Yang Jae-fu, look...... It's been so many days, and I still haven't fought for a high level. I can't tell what to say. ”

Yang Weili took a breath and said, "Wait." If there's really nothing to do, let's make another plan. Bringing you together today is to discuss, and what if no one can answer? Can't you be ridiculed by that barbarian girl in the Golden Palace at that time, right? ”

What Yang Gong said was exact. In my opinion, we have not come up with anything, and the woman of the barbarian land cannot say why. Let's prepare two sets of rhetoric. One set supports the beginning of the day and the nearest, listing a lot of arguments, and the other supports the middle of the day, so there is a preparation when refuting her views, right? ”

"Well, Yu Gong's idea is very good, I agree."

"Yes, yes, I don't believe they can break this dead knot."

Suddenly, someone walked in from outside.

The crowd looked out.

"Fu Xiaodao?"

Fu Xiaodao saluted the official sitting in the hall, and when he saw Wang Yan waiting with his eyes closed on the last seat, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Wang Yan's eyes opened, revealing a hint of a smile, and said, "You don't have to keep your hands behind, the old decay has already gained measure." Tomorrow on the Golden Palace, see how the old man breaks this barbarian girl's tricks. ”

Fu Xiaodao, who retreated beyond the threshold, looked out at the clear black sky, the hair in front of his eyebrows fluttered slightly, and there was some kindness, which could not be finished in a lifetime. (To be continued.) )
