Chapter 141: Three Difficulties
The gong stopped, and the palanquin was carried to the center of the Hallym Temple. The sedan chair man gently put the sedan chair down, a guard stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, and a handsome young man slowly walked out of the sedan chair.
Only then did Zhong Hanlin see this well-known young talent. I saw Zhu Youcheng wearing a well-fitting four-poinsettia official robe, and the Wenque on the complement was vividly embroidered, as if he was about to fly out of the complement. Zhu Youcheng looks like a crown of jade, and his eyes like black grapes shine with a wise light, how cute he looks.
Zhu Youcheng dusted off his clothes, turned back, and took out another teenager from the sedan chair. This young man wears a flat crown and a python robe, although he is young, he has the domineering spirit of the emperor, it is Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.
One of the Hanlin sighed and said loudly: "Today, the Hanlin Courtyard will be changed into a children's paradise, and one after another children will come over. Did you bring a diaper? Don't make this place dirty. ”
King Xin's face sank, and the rude words of this Hanlin ruthlessly shattered the noble and elegant Hanlin Academy in his fantasy, it turned out that this was just a small Ming officialdom, and there were also bad words and hurtful June cold.
Zhu Youcheng said loudly: "If you have ambitions, you are not old, and you have no ambitions to live for a hundred years." This Hanlin Academy is gloomy, how can anyone say that this is the cradle of Da Mingfu? I think it's clearly a hospice. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had been a beggar and knew the difficulties of the poor, so he built almshouses in various prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty to adopt the lonely elderly and the poor who had lost their ability to work.
Zhong Hanlin couldn't help but blush, the weather was still cold at this time, the Hanlin Courtyard was a clear water yamen, the heating facilities were insufficient, Zhong Hanlin put his hands into his sleeves, and copied his hands to bask in the sun in the yard, like a lonely old man in a nursing home. In fact, the Hanfu robe has wide sleeves and is also personable to keep warm. Unlike Jiannu clothing, their sleeves are very narrow, and when they keep their hands warm, they live like a beggar. However, the Hanlin people had a ghost in their hearts, and they pulled their hands out of their sleeves one after another.
Zhu Youcheng ignored the desire of the Hanlin people, turned around and knelt down to King Xin, saluted him, and shouted: "Weichen see King Xin's Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" ”
King Xin was a little flustered, he had always regarded Zhu Youcheng as his brother, and never thought that Zhu Youcheng should bow down to him. And Zhu Youcheng and him seem to have forgotten the distinction between respect and inferiority in the open and in secret, and have never saluted him. His heart sank suddenly, and he felt that Zhu Youcheng seemed to have become very strange, and he wanted to abandon him again. However, seeing the gentle smile on Zhu Youcheng's face, his heart suddenly relaxed, knowing that Zhu Youcheng was forcing the Hanlin to salute him.
Sure enough, the Hanlin knew that it was King Xin who arrived, and whether they were happy or not, they all knelt down and bowed five times and bowed to King Xin.
After the salute, the Hanlin stood up. A Hanlin stepped forward and said, "Master Zhu is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and he must learn from the past and the present. There is an upper link on the upper link, and the lower link has not been found so far, I wonder if Lord Zhu can teach it? ”
Zhu Youcheng wanted to refuse, although he came from later generations and had seen a lot of absolutes, but they were all couplets that had been resolved, God knows how many remnants there are in the pile of old papers in history, and no one has been able to match them so far. These Hanlin sit in the Hanlin Courtyard every day, thinking about these boring couplets when they have nothing to do, if they can't get it right, it will be a shame. Unexpectedly, King Xin trusted him incomparably, and took it down for him: "Come out, Brother Cheng is unparalleled in the world in poetry, and I'm afraid that you will break the couplet in a few sentences?" ”
Seeing that King Xin and Zhu Youcheng were so affectionate, this Hanlin was even more jealous, and said sourly: "Riding a strange horse, Zhang Longbow, Qin Se Pipa Eight Kings, Wang Wang is on top, and Shan Ge fights." ”
This couplet is a ridicule of Zhu Youcheng as a martial artist, even if he is close to the emperor, he is pressed by the princes.
Zhu Youcheng saw that King Xin helped him to accept it, and he complained bitterly in his heart, but it was not easy to say that King Xin was not. However, when he heard this couplet, his heart was wide, this couplet was quite famous in later generations, and he couldn't imagine that the source was here.
Zhu Youcheng said loudly: "Fake people, attack dragon clothes, four little ghosts, ghosts and ghosts, take it with your hands." ”
The Hanlin people applauded, but immediately dumbfounded, how did this sentence sound a bit like scolding them?
It can't be seized by the Hanlin people to take the initiative in discourse, and the couplet does not mean that the couplet can be right. Zhu Youcheng took advantage of the cold scene and said loudly: "Come and don't be rude, I also have a problem, please answer it." ”
Zhong Hanlin was conceited and learned to be rich and rich, how could he be afraid of Zhu Youcheng's problem, and they all agreed unashamedly.
A sinister smile appeared on Zhu Youcheng's face, this problem came from ancient Greece, and no one has solved it for so many years, you people are going to suffer a big loss.
"It is said that one day, Dai Zong, a good man in Liangshan, appeared on a plain, and the two were a hundred steps apart, and Dai Zong ran wildly, trying to catch Gao Yu. Gao Yu saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away. But Dai Zong never caught up with Gao Yu......"
"Impossible, Shenxing Taibao is the fastest person in Shuibo Liangshan, how can he not catch Gao Yu?" A Hanlin shouted.
"You think, Dai Zong ran to the position where Gao Yu stood just now, it would take a certain amount of time, Gao Yu would not wait for him in the same place, and during this time, Gao Yu ran forward for a distance. When Dai Zong ran to his current position, Gao Yu ran forward for some distance. This is repeated, that is to say, no matter where Dai Zong runs, Gao Yu will run forward a little. Therefore, Dai Zong will never be able to catch up with Gao Yu. Well, that's my point. You are all great Confucians, please refute me. ”
Zhong Hanlin exchanged heads and discussed how to refute Zhu Youcheng.
Wang Chengen was very discerning, and when he saw that the Hanlin people seemed to be discussing endlessly, he moved two Taishi chairs from the room, one for King Xin and the other for Zhu Youcheng. Cao Huachun saw that the chair was snatched away by Wang Chengen, so he took out Biluochun and made a cup of fragrant tea for each of them. Zhu Youcheng opened the lid of the cup, sniffed it deeply, then picked up the teacup, took a sip, and leisurely watched them discuss.
Half an hour passed, and when a Hanlin saw that he couldn't break Zhu Youcheng's logic, he hung his head and said, "Lord Zhu, we admit defeat, can you announce the answer?" ”
"Why?"
That Hanlin actually said confidently: "If you come up with a question, you naturally have to tell me the answer." ”
"Oh, so when you take the township exam, the general exam, and the palace exam, do you also want the examiner to tell you the answer? To be honest, only if the emperor or the prince asks for an answer, I will tell them the answer. You are not worthy! ”
Another Hanlin was about to say something, but Zhu Youcheng said again: "Look at your ears and cheeks, it looks so funny." Forget it, it's easy to ask. There was a horse wrangler who had seventeen horses in his family, and after his death he left a will to divide the horses among his sons, of which the eldest son got half, the second son got three parts, and the youngest son got one-ninth, and he was not allowed to shed blood, and he was not allowed to kill the horses. ”
A Hanlin smiled: "I may not know about your other problems, but I just heard a maritime merchant say this question." Very simply, I lent him a horse, and they had eighteen horses, half of the eldest son, which was nine horses, and a third of the second son, which was six horses, and a ninth of the youngest son, which was two horses. Nine plus six plus two, seventeen, one more horse, I bring it back. ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhu Youcheng proudly.
King Shin studied mathematics, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Hanlin said it very well. He couldn't help but look at Zhu Youcheng worriedly, the problem was solved by the opponent, which was quite embarrassing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youcheng smiled faintly and gently spit out two words: "Wrong." ”
"Master Zhu, I originally thought that you were both civil and military, and you were a character, but I didn't expect you to be a person who couldn't afford to lose, so I misjudged you. This story has been circulated for a long time, and the solution to this problem is good for everyone, why do you say that I am wrong? ”
"Of course you're wrong. For example, if I have a piece of bread and I want to give you half of it, and you see that you can't divide it, and you add a piece of bread and you take half of it, which is a piece of bread, and then you have half of it left, that is, you borrow my bread, and you take it. Isn't that right? ”
That Hanlin period Ai Ai, can't answer.
"I know that if you don't say the correct answer to this question today, you won't believe it. In fact, there are two solutions to this problem. The first is very simple, sell all the seventeen horses, distribute the silver sold proportionally, and collect the excess silver into the treasury. Then you must wonder why there is more money coming out. One half plus a third plus one ninth for a total of seventeen eighteenths, that is, eighteen in eighteen are left unowned. Since this is the case, then it means that the will left by this old man is wrong. A wrong will is an invalid will, and the old man is equivalent to leaving no will. Therefore, the second method should be according to the "Da Ming Law", the old man's inheritance is divided equally among the three sons, each of them gets five horses, and the remaining two horses are sold for a penny. ”
When the Hanlin people saw that Zhu Youcheng spoke in an orderly manner, they were all impressed.
Zhu Youcheng saw that there seemed to be a look of injustice on the faces of a few Hanlins, and decided to deter them again, so he said, "I still have a problem I want to ask you for. ”
A Hanlin hurriedly said: "Don't dare to ask for advice, let's discuss it together." ”
"Three points of water plus the word 'come' to go, what words do you read?"
Zhong Hanlin replied a little uncertainly: "Laizi? ”
"Three points of water and a 'go' word to 'go', what words do you read?"
"Lord Zhu, is there such a word?"
King Xin was played by Zhu Youcheng like this, and when he saw that someone was in the same situation as him, he laughed and shrunk into a ball on the Taishi's chair, and said: "Stupid, read the word 'law', the 'law' of spells." ”
