Zhong Ni asked Yan Hui: If Xi is alone, what is the source? Why? ”

"I don't know."

"A and B traveled in the same direction, and at first they were twenty miles apart, and A traveled at a speed of eighteen miles per hour, and B was ...... Q: When will A catch up with B? ”

"When the time comes, the Hanlin Academy will answer quickly."

"Wechen doesn't know ......"

In the Mandarin Palace, the knowledge competition continues.

Because he was afraid that Xie Hong's blind cat would run into a dead mouse, the topics of the Hanlin Academy were all allusions other than the Four Books and the Five Classics, and there was no use of couplets or poems.

Although Confucius is mentioned in the above question, it is not from the Analects, but from the dialogue in the "Liezi", which is called how to answer the three fathers who have not even read the four books and the five classics? He could only lament with a heart of sworn service.

Of course, although Xie Hong's arithmetic questions are not particularly high, after all, they also involve equations, even if they are proficient in arithmetic, they have to study carefully before they can answer, and the scholars and doctors are completely powerless.

Among the people present, the highest emotion was the referee Zhengde, every time Xie Hong asked a question, he stared at the clock on the wall, and as soon as the time came, he immediately asked questions, causing a lot of pressure to the scholars of the Hanlin Academy out of thin air.

Even if this was the case, the Hanlin people endured it, but when someone found out that Zhengde had repeatedly asked in advance, they were also anxious. Even if it's the emperor, you can't do black whistles, and it's so blatant, why do you think there are no clocks in our house? Your Majesty, you are underestimating everyone's wealth and intelligence!

"Your Majesty, you have misread the time again, it has only been a minute and forty-five seconds, and the time has not yet arrived!" In fact, everyone understands the tricks every second, but they don't usually say it, and they still say it when they are in a hurry.

"Oh? Am I wrong? Zhengde had an innocent expression on his face, but his mouth was unrepentant: "Anyway, you can't answer, so if you have less time, you can have less time." ”

"Your Majesty, there are no rules that can't be square, since the rules of the court debate have been set, then they can't be changed, Zi said: ......" As the initiator of this competition, Zhang Yuanzhen has his own obligation to maintain the situation, of course, in fact, his purpose is to delay time.

Zhengde said it well, but the Hanlin people couldn't deal with Xie Hong's problem, but there were still masters of arithmetic, and there were still some in the imperial court, and the household department and Qin Tianjian were rich in such people, but they didn't come to the scene. Now that the root of the problem has been found, it will be easy to solve, and Zhang Yuanzhen has already sent someone to call for reinforcements.

Although I didn't expect Xie Hong to be proficient in arithmetic in advance, it didn't matter, now, the task of the Hanlin people was to maintain the situation and delay time, and when the arithmetic master arrived, Xie Hong must have no spells.

"Okay, okay, Zhang Shilang, you don't need to say more, continue to work on the question, continue!" Although he didn't know the other party's shameful scheme, Zhengde still waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Zhang Yuanzhen's tirade.

This knowledge contest is the same as baseball, it doesn't matter if the scoring ability is bad, as long as you can suppress the opponent's score, then as long as you grasp an opportunity, you will win. Xie Hong's plan is well known, so of course he has to speed up the competition.

Although there are a lot of ancient books, after all, there are also numbers, and there is a third father-in-law who has reviewed a few books on his side, as long as the number of rounds is enough, he will always encounter the problem he knows, and score.

Happiness always comes so suddenly, and I don't know if it's because of Zhengde's vigorous urging, or because the Hanlin people were careless for a while, a person surnamed Yan Shu Jishi made a mistake in his busy schedule, and he actually put the title on "Zhuangzi".

“…… The rich man suffers from illness...... The husband and nobleman continue to say at night...... What is the reason for this, and what is the explanation? ”

As soon as this topic came out, many people already frowned, although Zhuangzi is not in the Four Books and Five Classics, it can be regarded as a rare place, but there are still many Taoist disciples who specialize in it.

But after thinking about it, they didn't worry too much, after all, they had already seen Xie Hong's knowledge, and in the previous situation, even if he took the most popular discourse, it was a question whether Xie Hong could answer it.

What worries everyone is Xie Hong's topic, no one expected him to be so proficient in arithmetic, there are dozens of questions back and forth, but Xie Hong still has spare energy, which is really worrying.

Xie Hong's heart is not as calm as on his face, although most of the problems he came up with are math problems in primary and secondary schools in later generations, and the difficulty is not high, but what he prepared in advance has almost reached the bottom, and if he wants to sell it now, it is inevitable that he will repeat or make mistakes, and besides, the courtiers sent someone out to call people, he also knows, how can he not worry?

If he hadn't investigated in advance, he knew that there was no one studying arithmetic among the important ministers of the imperial court, and he wouldn't dare to use this kind of question, but since the other party went to call for reinforcements, then the arithmetic problem would soon be useless, and what topic should he use to suppress the other party next? Calculus is definitely not possible, and as soon as the question comes out, the other party may not even understand the question, and it must be tricked.

He has a clear division of labor here, he doesn't care about answering questions, he just asks, so after listening to the other party's question, he subconsciously wants to answer that he doesn't know, anyway, he can't answer, so why waste time? Picking up the pace is king.

"The official ......"

But at this moment, the eyes of the third father-in-law behind him flashed, and he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Hong's shirt. After getting the long-awaited signal, Xie Hong was overjoyed, and changed his words, saying, "I know, wait for the official to answer!" ”

All Hanlin and the courtiers were in an uproar, and they all stared at Xie Hong in disbelief, how could it be possible, they really answered, it wouldn't be a lie, right?

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, Xie Hong took a small note from the third father-in-law without a trace, swept it with the corner of his eye, and then said loudly: "This book is from "Zhuangzi", it is ......"

It's over, it really made him answer, everyone was silent, their side was suppressed, and the other party scored! Oh my God, how could this happen? Originally, I was going to see the joke of the annihilation, could it be that it would turn into a smug look at him?

Which idiot came up with the question? Why did you go out to Zhuangzi? Countless angry eyes shot at the young man, who naturally knew the seriousness of the problem, and stood in place with a dead face, extremely depressed.

"Nanzhen Fuji scored one point, and now the score is 1-0! Ladies and gentlemen, you can't answer Xie Tongzhi's question anyway, so let's stop here today, okay? Let's do it again. Zhengde triumphantly announced the score, although he didn't make much effort, but the focus was on participation, and he also had a share of the glory of this victory.

"No, it's been said that this court debate is two hours, how can you give up halfway, Your Majesty, the ministers will not admit defeat." Zhang Yuanzhen's mouth was bitter, and his face was pale.

He didn't expect that things would get to this point before, he thought that Xie Hong just knew some small tricks that were not elegant, even if he didn't check it for a while, it would still end up sometimes. But no, the other party hasn't finished yet, his side has done it first, and he has been taken the lead first, if he loses like this, won't the Hanlin Academy be disgraced?

If you lose to a showman, once it gets out, I'm afraid you'll have to leave a thousand years of infamy! Zhang Yuanzhen regretted it, he knew that he wouldn't agree to do such a form, even if he wanted to do it, he had to limit the topic. It is no wonder that the sages always debated with others, and limited the topics to the framework of Confucianism, without limiting the topics and rules.

Just as he was wandering, Zhang Yuanzhen coldly saw a few people coming in from the side door of the Wenhua Palace, looking at the color of the clothes on his body, the grade was not very high, but he was like a big man, his eyes lit up, because those people were the most good at arithmetic among the household department and Qin Tianjian.

In the past, no one in the courtiers took these people seriously, but at this time, everyone looked at them very eagerly, which brought a lot of pressure to those low-grade officials.

After all, these people are officials, and the timing of their arrival is good, and the treatment is much higher than that of a few craftsmen, and they were directly let by the Hanlin to sit in the front row and face Xie Hong.

With these people, the courtiers are also determined in their hearts, just now it was just a momentary negligence, and Xie Hong took advantage of the loophole, and now with the masters of the corresponding disciplines, the opportunity to turn defeat into victory is in front of him.

"Master Xie, those are all from Qin Tianjian, I heard that they are very accomplished in astronomy, and the other few are from the household department, all of whom are proficient in arithmetic, you should be careful when you ask questions again." Liu Jin whispered in Xie Hong's ear. It is true that he is illiterate, but he has always been very self-motivated, and he has memorized the heroic genealogy of the court and the central government so well that even such a few low-grade officials can recognize him.

Xie Hong bowed slightly, indicating that he understood. Now that he has a point in hand, his mentality is much calmer than before, and then he just needs to suppress the opponent, even if he doesn't score, it doesn't matter.

Asking questions is much easier than answering questions, Xie Hong is not despising the arithmetic or astronomical level of the ancients, but no matter how much the other party knows, it is impossible to keep up with his hundreds of years of knowledge.

"Say: Five pirates have snatched a hundred gems, each of the same size and price, and they decided to divide it as follows: first, A proposes a distribution plan, and then everyone votes together, and only when more than half of the people agree, they will distribute it according to his proposal, otherwise they will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks......"

As soon as they heard the question, several arithmetic masters were at a loss, pirates divided gems, what is this name? This pirate has a lot of problems, and it's so troublesome to divide a gem, so it's easy to add five more troubles! Several of them frowned, thinking hard.

Xie Hong is not worried at all, this is a game theory topic, although it is not unsolvable, but there is no theoretical support, if you want to get the answer, it is not something that can be done in three minutes, and things are indeed developing like this...... "Twenty seeds for one person!" ”

"Wrong!"

"One hundred for the last man!"

"Wrong!"

"It's time! There was no score in Hallym Temple! ”

Soon, three minutes passed, Zhengde was rare and kind, and waited for three minutes impartially, but the Hanlin still felt that the time was far from enough, the problem was very simple, but the more they pondered, the more profound the truth became, Hugh said that three minutes, even if it was three days, it may not be able to figure it out.

This failure did not discourage everyone's morale, because the truth was not too difficult, as long as it took a little more time, it could always be solved, and after getting the answer, someone soon had an experience and smiled.

In fact, Huaxia has many talents, but they are shackled! Xie Hong took in everyone's reactions, and his heart was full of emotion, all the princes in the court and the central government were all talented, but no one used them in the right place, one day only cared about intrigue, after fighting the emperor and the eunuchs, he would fight in the nest without opponents, and finally pull down the Chinese civilization without fighting, or let my brother take this opportunity today to teach you a good lesson.

"These weights are of equal weight, and then this thing is called a pulley, and ask: how to lift ten times as many things with the least pulley...... "This is a physics problem.

"......" the ministers were at a loss.

"There was no word on this notebook, and then I ...... it Now that it's written, ask: What the hell is going on? "It's a chemistry topic.

"......" was silent.

Music, astronomy, geography, all kinds of questions overwhelmed the courtiers, completely at a loss. Whether it is the Hanlin Academy, or the court, everyone only focuses on the history and politics, and the field involved in Xie Hong's question has always been regarded as a small way, how can they know?

Even if there are some professionals, but these people have been despised for a long time, and they are all conducted alone when researching, no matter how talented they are, how can they answer Xie Hong's questions that are beyond the times?

So, Xie Hong had the last laugh, and the score was firmly locked at 1-0.

"Alas, is this the dignified Da Ming Hanlin? What a disappointment for me, I didn't know anything. Zhengde let out a long sigh and put an end to the competition.

"Your Majesty...... These are all small paths, of course we and other scholars disdain...... "Seeing that the outcome has been decided, the initiator Zhang Yuanzhen's face is gray, and he trembles and intends to argue strongly.

"Disdain?" Zhengde snorted coldly and said bitterly: "You don't understand, right? Because I don't understand, I disdain, and because I don't disdain, I don't learn modestly, so I don't understand, this is called the cycle of evil surnames! Ladies and gentlemen, you must take this as a warning and know how to return if you are lost! ”

"......" No one went up to the chase to find abuse, but no one responded either.

"I think it's good to see this, the sutra feast is still very interesting, so it can be held as usual in the future, but the speaker is changed to Xie Tongzhi, let Xie Tongzhi teach you well, and when all Aiqing has learned a hundred schools, let's continue to talk about the history of the scriptures."

The officials were speechless: "......"
