Chapter 62 Unveils the Emperor's List
"Your Majesty, then I'll have a problem." Mulagu was not polite either, and said, "In my hometown, there is a magnificent pyramid......"
"Pyramids?" Li Longji's eyebrows raised, and he glanced at Muragu with some surprise: "You shouldn't be going to come up with that famous question, right?" If so, can they solve it? ”
"Pyramids? I heard Balus talk about it, like a 'gold' word. Wu Zetian nodded.
“…… The pyramid is too high to measure, but I want to know how high it is. Mu Lagu stiffened his neck, and said to Wu Zetian: "Please also ask Your Majesty to solve this problem for me." ”
"The pyramid is very high and immeasurable, how do you know how high it is?" As soon as Mulagu's words fell, a sound of surprise sounded in the hall, and the ministers all opened their mouths.
Isn't it a contradiction to know how high it is, and to know how high it is?
"You're making things difficult." Immediately, a minister rebuked: "This is impossible. ”
Wu Zetian frowned, nodded, and agreed with the minister's words.
"More than 1,000 years ago, there was a wise man in my hometown who measured how high the pyramid was." Muragu said with his neck held high, triumphantly.
"Really?" Some ministers don't believe it.
"He's not lying, a wise man solved this problem more than a thousand years ago." Li Longji nodded and said in his heart.
"If Majesty admits defeat, I can tell Majesty how to solve this problem." Mulagu's neck was as high as a crowing rooster.
"My Heavenly Empire is full of talents, how can I care about just one topic?" Of course, Wu Zetian would not admit defeat, and said: "Guo Lao, you are proficient in mathematics, do you have a clever strategy?" ”
Di Renjie's eyebrows were raised, and he said to Mu Lagu: "I have only heard of the pyramid, I don't know its shape, can you draw it?" ”
"Yes." Muragu readily agreed.
Wu Zetian ordered people to bring pen and ink, and Muraguti pen in hand, using a brush was very skillful, drawing on a piece of fine paper. His painting skills were good, and he quickly drew the shape of the pyramid, which was so vivid that even the Sphinx was lifelike.
"The Arab Empire was able to dominate the Middle East, not because of luck, but because of the abundance of talent." Li Longji saw it in his eyes and sighed with emotion.
"There is nothing the minister can do." Di Renjie looked at the painting for a while, and rushed to Wu Zetiandao.
Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang said, what about you?" ”
Zhang said that after looking at the painting for a while, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister can't understand it." ”
Zhang said that he was the first in the world, that was a famous and intelligent person, and he couldn't solve it, which was quite surprising, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.
"Song Jing, what about you?" Wu Zetian asked Song Jing.
Song Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are shallow in their learning, and they can't solve it." ”
Song Jing is also a capable minister, shrewd and capable, and his talent is extraordinary, and he can't solve it, which makes the atmosphere in the hall even more dignified.
Wu Zetian asked one by one, but no one could solve this problem, and his brows furrowed.
She thought that there was nothing that could not be solved by relying on the ministers of the DPRK and China, but she did not expect that it would be such a problem.
"This question is a world-famous question, and it is actually very difficult to solve. However, I can figure it out. Li Longji secretly said in his heart, he was going to stand up, and when he was here, he only listened to Wu Zetian: "Go, summon the Tai students and let them solve." ”
"Too student? Alright then, let them solve it. Li Longji had to temporarily suppress the idea of solving the problem.
In every dynasty, "Taixue" will be cultivated, and intelligent people will be recruited to enroll, in modern terms, Taixue is the "Royal Academy". There are many talented people, and there may be capable people who can solve this problem.
"That's right."
"Isn't there still too much learning?"
The hearts of the ministers were relaxed.
For Taixue, the ministers have high hopes, some people specialize in mathematics, there is no shortage of great masters, with them, it is naturally not a problem.
Soon, a group of Taixue teachers and students arrived, the oldest was already gray, and the youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old. They came in, first saluted Wu Zetian, and then came to solve the problem.
This group of Taixue teachers and students discussed the painting, brainstorming, and their opinions were very unique, but unfortunately, they still could not solve this problem.
"Your Majesty, Shu Chen and others are shallow in learning." After a full hour, the leading Tai student was sweating profusely and pleaded guilty to Wu Zetian.
"You can't solve it?" Wu Zetian's brows tightened.
"Your Majesty, this is an unsolvable problem." The leading student was busy.
"No solution? If there is no solution, how can the wise man of my homeland solve this problem? Mu Lagu was disdainful, the corners of his mouth were cracked to the root of his ears, and he said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, this is what you call talented?" That's it. ”
Brush!
Wu Zetian, who has always been moody, turned red all of a sudden, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Mulagu's words pierced her heart like a sharp sword, making her angry.
"Shut up!" The ministers shouted even more.
"Stand down." Wu Zetian waved his hand and drank back from the students.
"It's my turn." Li Longji is ready to play.
"Oh." At this moment, Wu Zetian's eyes lit up and said, "Come on, Zhang Huangbang." Anyone who can solve this problem will be given five grades. If you already have an official body, those who have passed the fifth grade will be promoted to one grade. ”
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers were in approval of this.
"Your Majesty, is your Emperor List useful?" Muragu sneered: "No, no, you admit defeat." ”
"Throw in the towel? Joke? "Is Wu Zetian a person who admits defeat? Chong Mulagu sneered: "My Heavenly Dynasty is full of talents, not only are there as many talents in the court as a carp crossing the river, but there are also many hidden masters in the mountains and forests, you just wait and see, you will definitely be able to solve your problem." ”
"Okay. Then I'll see how many capable hermits there are. Mulagu shook his head, disdainful.
"That's too drastic, isn't it? Nor give me a chance. Okay, you can make a list, I also want to see if there are any hidden talents. Li Longji secretly said in his heart, so he had to temporarily suppress the idea of solving the problem.
The attraction of the official position is not small, and less than half an hour after the emperor's list was posted, more than a dozen people came to solve the problem.
"Don't worry, I have been able to solve the number technique with my fingers since I was a child, and I will be able to solve this problem."
"I am the best at measuring, and I know how tall and long and wide it is at a glance."
These people patted their chests one by one and assured that the cowhide was blowing loudly.
However, after a while, everyone was sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, the grass people are incompetent." ”
Then, it just ran away.
It took a whole day to solve this problem, so Wu Zetian decreed that he would continue to solve this problem the next day.
The next day, no one could solve the problem.
In this way, many people came to solve the problem every day, but no one could solve the problem, and after ten days, no one revealed the emperor list.
Mathematics and geometry in the Middle East do have their own uniqueness, and this pyramid problem is really difficult, so that the Tang people have to be helpless.
The pyramid was built 3,500 years ago, and it was only 2,600 years ago that a wise man calculated its height, which is a time span of 900 years, which shows how difficult it is.
"It's my turn." Li Longji is determined to put an end to this farce.
Brush!
passed by the emperor list of Zhang Ti and tore off the emperor list with his hands.
"Someone has unveiled the emperor's list, go and report to His Majesty." The soldiers guarding the Imperial List shouted, and ran away as if they were flying.
"Huh? Has someone unveiled the list? Wu Zetian's furrowed brows loosened, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I'll just say, the Celestial Empire is full of talents, and it won't be impossible to solve even a few problems." Messenger invites this capable man to come and meet. ”
"No, I'm here on my own." As soon as Wu Zetian's words fell, he saw Li Longji striding in like a meteor.
"San Lang, what are you doing?" Wu Zetian was a little surprised.
"Majesty, I'm here to solve the problem." Li Longji shook the imperial list in his hand.
"Poof!" Wu Zetian was drinking tea, and he didn't hold back, and the tea sprayed far away: "You solve the problem?" Can you solve the problem? ”
