Chapter 712: Yu'er
Some of the words of the white-clothed scholar made the Jiangdong scholars over there feel ashamed.
I said over there that His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou was cheating, in order to prevent everyone from entering the official career, but the people here immediately answered it, the problem of the chicken and rabbit cage also gave you four solutions, there are people who know a little bit of science, although it is impossible to understand all the four solutions, but at least one or two of them are still relatively well understood, and naturally they can also calculate the answer to the question of the same cage of chickens and rabbits along the way, so it has been verified, and it is naturally determined that this is a correct answer.
How is this good, the person who made a bet with the scholar in white suddenly turned gray, people don't live just to save face, as the saying goes, people want to save face, trees want bark, if this person has no face, how will he live.
Originally, it was all angry talk, because of the exam, he came on the spot, thinking that he was capable enough to be an official, but he was really disappointed here, and those questions just made him confused.
Comparing the difference between before and after, I was naturally angry, aren't you funny. That's when he said something like that.
Who would have thought that someone would really be more serious with him and actually make a bet with him, this young man was naturally strong-blooded, and immediately responded as soon as he was excited.
Kneel on the street or kowtow to His Royal Highness the King of Shu is nothing, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a prince, and it is naturally nothing for you to kneel down to worship a prince as a civilian, even the Minister Xu Shu also knelt to Liu Mang, the King of Shu, but it is different if you lose this bet. And shout that I was wrong. Aren't you embarrassed?
If that's what you call it. Immediately, this Jiangdong student with a name became completely famous, and he couldn't raise his head anymore.
Everyone looked at this student surnamed Zhang, which made his face immediately turn red.
"This brother, forget it, Brother Zhang didn't mean it!" Someone began to intercede for this Brother Zhang.
"Yes, yes, forget it, Brother Zhang is just angry for a while. Brother Tai has to be forgiving and forgiving. "Jiangdong students still don't want to be embarrassed by their companions who came with them, although they are not themselves, but they also have the friendship of classmates.
The white-clothed scholar didn't want to embarrass this Jiangdong student too much, and being an enemy of these Jiangdong students would have an impact on that person's great cause, after all, that person wanted to wipe out all the capable people in Jiangdong Yangzhou.
Now this Brother Zhang is not representing him alone, but on behalf of the entire Jiangdong students, to make him embarrassed is to make Jiangdong students embarrassed, if this is spread, Jiangdong students will become a laughing stock.
So the scholar in white had to nod his head and get ready to forget it.
But this Brother Zhang over there doesn't think so. His face turned red, and he was already aggrieved. Now that he has been squeezed by people like this, he immediately turned into a pig's liver color, and the scholar in white has not yet spoken, but this Brother Zhang suddenly became wise in a hurry, "You, you are a student of Yangzhou, and it is Liu Mang, the king of Shu, who must have told you the subject in advance, so that you can be officials, and then come to wash away our poor children!" ”
Okay! This Brother Zhang really has the ability to reverse right and wrong, and he also has a lot of hatred, it was originally a simple bet between two people, but after such a change, it has become the opposition between Yangzhou students and Jiangdong students.
Over there, one by one, Yangzhou students and Jiangdong students are a little disdainful of this Brother Zhang, you say that if you don't admit defeat, forget it, and reverse right and wrong like this, but although I express disdain for this Brother Zhang's character, there is still a pimple in my inner subconscious, that is, will His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou really open a small stove for these Yangzhou students, or go to the backstage, let them be officials first, and not let their Jiangdong students be officials, people, do not suffer from widowhood and unevenness, if everyone is not an official, natural harmony, Anyway, you are a poor person and I am also a poor person, but once you become rich and get ahead, I will be jealous.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Jiangdong Yangzhou is not all under the rule of His Royal Highness the King of Shu now, isn't it all my big man! "The scholar in white simply expressed his disdain for this Jiangdong student, but he was still angry, if you don't admit it here, forget it, you still rely on the skin, and provoke the Jiangdong student and the Yangzhou student to oppose each other.
"Why, I said it hurts? You are from Yangzhou, you are a student who guards the city, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will naturally be better to you, and it is natural to tell you the topic, and we Jiangdong students are different, Daddy doesn't love grandma, and I have been opposed to your Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou before, how can His Royal Highness the King of Shu let us be officials! This Brother Zhang grabbed this reason and didn't let go, so one of the endings of the guide zhì is that the white-clothed scholar is getting more and more angry, and the Jiangdong students are becoming more and more suspicious, this is human nature, you must know that before Sun Ce surrendered to Yangzhou, Jiangdong and Yangzhou were enemies of life and death. You say it's fair, but most people really don't believe it.
Even the old man outside the hotel couldn't help frowning and wondering, because of those questions, he, a great Confucian, wouldn't know.
"Skills are not as good as others, it's like slander!" The white-clothed scholar scolded this Brother Zhang.
This Brother Zhang seemed to have found his breakthrough point, and sneered, "Yes, my Zhang is not as good as others, I was not born in this Yangzhou, right, blame me, blame me for being a son of Jiangdong Hanmen, maybe this brother Tai, there is your position above that official position!" Although this brother Zhang seems to be blaming himself on his face, the irony in it is overflowing.
"You!" The white-clothed scholar pointed at Brother Zhang over there and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Brother Zhang!" Just when Brother Zhang was high-spirited, an indifferent voice sounded, he was also dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, and there were two strong men behind him.
"You're here!" The scholar in white immediately laughed when he saw this boy in white.
"You! You're messing with you if I'm not here!" The boy in white seemed to blame and slapped his forehead with a folding fan at the white-clothed scholar, but the white-clothed scholar stuck out his tongue at the white-clothed boy.
How good is Longyang?! It's normal for everyone to think the same way. In this world dominated by the gentry. There are really a lot of good rabbit brothers. Some of the men are even more beautiful than the women.
"Him?" The eyes of the old man outside the hotel widened. But there was also a look of resentment, and the old man's fists were clenched.
"Is it another Yangzhou scholar?" That Brother Zhang was sarcastic.
"Brother Zhang, you said he would be an official? Oh, then I sue you that it's impossible. There will never be his name above that official position! The white-clothed boy said to that brother Zhang.
"How do you know no?" Brother Zhang asked.
"It's simple, the name of the big exam will come out in two days! Yes is yes, no is no! The white-clothed boy said to the people below, two days of hard work, the invigilators up and down Yangzhou want to change those test papers. The list of admitted students will be announced.
"Two days later? Haha, where are you going to find you in two days, to go to the government? Joke, everyone is here today, do you have the ability to say your name? Let's see if there will be a big list in two days. Brother Zhang looked at these two people with a sneer, these two people are from Yangzhou, this is the affirmation of this Jiangdong Hanmen student Zhang, because the folding fan and the clothes are silky, and ordinary people can't afford to use them at all. Only the homes of dignitaries and nobles are willing to use it.
Such two sons and daughters are not young anymore. How can it not be an official, even if the family of scholars is a side house, the children of the branch can also get the position of an official.
This Brother Zhang thinks very well, these two sons are destined to enter the official career, and they will definitely not dare to say their names, because this will have a very bad impact on the family. It is precisely by grasping this handle that the two of them will have nothing to say, so he will win.
As for the revenge of these two children of the scholar clan, hehe, if he doesn't retaliate, his brother Zhang is not happy, as long as this child of the scholar clan retaliates, then his brother Zhang will become completely famous, and he is afraid that he will not be an official if he has fame?
The white-clothed scholars were angry and wanted to come forward to make a profit, and indeed their names could not be reported.
"You don't deserve to know our names!" The scholar in white said that they came out of Weifu today on a private visit.
"Hehe, it's just a gallless rat, I don't even dare to report my name, it must be the person who has been set on the official list a long time ago, this Yangzhou scholar is just like that!" Jiangdong Shizi Zhang Cheng said very proudly.
"Yangzhou takes a scholar, I don't know if it's just like that, but what I do know is that Yangzhou will never admit people like you!" The boy in white said indifferently to Zhang Cheng. Although the selection of officials is mainly based on talent, there must be virtue above the officialdom, and this virtue is naturally not morality, not corruption, etc., but responsibility.
This person dares to do it and doesn't dare to admit it, such a person is the most hated in Yangzhou, and he won't admit it if he loses.
"Hmph, I don't bother to come yet!" This Zhang Cheng said with an annoyed face.
"Oh, then why did you come to take the big exam in Yangzhou?" The boy in white said.
"I, I, I'm just here to debunk the true face of this Yangzhou scholar!" Zhang Cheng found an excuse and said,
"Oh yes! There are two people who take scholars in Yangzhou, and one of them is also! The boy in white stood up and said, "The words on the recruitment order, as long as your talent can be worthy of heavy responsibilities, there is a county order for the county order, there is a state pastor, this is the state pastor, and it will be shown when it is used!" Brother Zhang, you can't even answer those questions, how can you come from? The puzzled look of the boy in white made the crowd on the side laugh, but Zhang Cheng's face turned even greener.
Before Zhang Cheng could argue, the white-clothed boy over there said again, "The two are also virtuous, only virtuous and virtuous, and those with heavy responsibilities can be officials, Brother Zhang, if I were you, I would go buy a piece of tofu!" ”
"Why do you buy tofu?" Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment.
"Buy a piece of tofu and kill yourself!" The boy in white said.
"You? Why are you insulting, it's so hurtful! Zhang Chengyu stopped, pointing to the boy in white.
"Brother Zhang, I have to admire you, you can be so brazen and comfortable, it is really rare in this world!" The white-clothed boy said with a smile, "You said that those questions were coaxed by His Royal Highness the King of Shu to coax Jiangdong students, and no one could make them, they gave you the answer, and you said that they made it up, okay, they explained it to you again, but you still don't admit it, forget it if you don't admit it." Also reverses black and white. said that there was a problem with Yangzhou Shishi. It even involves the reputation of others, saying that the officials in Yangzhou are internal. Listening to the brother in white explain the whole thing, everyone couldn't help but find that this Zhang Cheng seemed to be really a sentence, and he didn't admit defeat if he was killed. The rhythm of being thick-skinned to the end.
"Isn't it? You don't even dare to report your name, it must be those who have already been determined to be on the official list, and Liu Mang, the king of Shu, must inform you of the answer! "Zhang Cheng has already gone all the way to the end. Because if he doesn't go on like this, then his reputation will be completely ruined.
"Yes! Do you know the qualifications for the Yangzhou University Entrance Examination? The boy in white asked Zhang Cheng.
"Humph!" Zhang Cheng snorted coldly and replied disdainfully.
"If you don't know. I'm here to sue you for the rules of the takers. If you are under the age of eighteen, you will not take it, you will not take it if you are not a woman, and you will not take it if you are not virtuous! "Becoming an official before the age of eighteen, Liu Mang is afraid that he will delay the time for these geniuses to learn knowledge, and women will not take it, that is because although women are calm officials, they do not take it, and they hesitate more, not to mention that this is originally a society where men are superior to women. Liu Mang set up a medical officer, and the use of the women's battalion was already criticized. I don't want to have more such things, although those old masters can't help Liu Mang much, they will also annoy Liu Mang to death.
"Brother Zhang, the official list you said has been decided, and he is the one who will not take it!" The white-clothed boy pointed to the white-clothed scholar over there and said.
"Hmph, even if you don't take it now, it's still not old, with the connections of your scholar clan, can he not be an official in the end? Joke! "Zhang Cheng is still stubborn. He thought that the scholar in white was not of age.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, why bother! Even if he has a big family affair, he can't take it! The boy in white said indifferently.
"What do you mean? No, no, it can't be! The old man outside the hotel chewed on the words of the boy in white, what he meant was that even if he was old, it was not good to be an official, and it was naturally impossible for people to be virtuous, so there was only one left.
"Yu'er, come and be by my side!" The boy in white took off the bun on the head of the scholar in white, and his long black hair flowed out.
"Female, female!" Zhang Cheng was simply stunned, the handsome man in front of him who originally made men feel extremely uncomfortable, repelled by the same sex, and looked so handsome, he naturally had hostility, but now the hostility has completely disappeared, because he has turned into a beautiful woman.
"She, it's her, it's her!" The old man was very excited, "She's not dead, my Yu'er, she's not dead, she's not dead!" ”
Zhang Cheng's face was completely ashen, everyone looked at Zhang Cheng and laughed at it completely, he Zhang Cheng embarrassed the white-clothed scholar step by step, humiliated Yangzhou scholars, and now it seems that it is completely self-inflicted, he is not as good as a weak woman!
"Fake, it must be fake, he's not a woman, no, I don't believe it!" Zhang Cheng was already filled with humiliation, and he was about to step forward and grab the white-clothed scholar and tell everyone that he was a man and not a woman.
Seeing Zhang Cheng rushing forward, the killing intent in the eyes of the white-clothed brother flashed, he didn't care about the lack of virtue in his mouth, but if you are rude in this way, don't blame him.
"Bold, dare to do it to the princess!" Before Zhang Cheng rushed forward to grab the white-clothed scholar, the two strong men behind the white-clothed boy brother suddenly fought out and picked up this Zhang Cheng. A powerless scholar is naturally incomparable with a strong man.
"He's not a woman, it's not, it's all fake, it's fake!" Zhang Cheng shouted loudly, hoping to get everyone's attention, but everyone's attention was completely attracted by the strong man.
"Princess?" Everyone was stunned by this shocking news, there is a prince in Yangzhou, if this woman in white is the princess, then the person who can do something to the princess is naturally it.
reacted quickly, and immediately knelt down, "Jiangdong student, Bu Kai has seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu." ”
"We have seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Everyone finally understood that this white-clothed boy was Liu Mang, the king of Shu.
The boy in white cried and laughed a little, he wanted to come out for a private interview with Weifu, but he didn't expect to be called out by Guan Hai, the second goods, and now he is being watched by everyone, how can he have a private interview with Weifu.
"Excuse me, get up!" Liu Mang shook the folding fan, now that his identity has been revealed, he has no choice but to play.
"Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Zhang Cheng was also stunned, this man in white is His Royal Highness the King of Shu, so what are his disrespectful words to His Royal Highness the King of Shu? Zhang Cheng was almost scared to cry, if it really counted. It's light to kill him.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu. I was wrong. I was wrong, I beg His Royal Highness the King of Shu to spare my life, spare my life! Zhang Cheng can be regarded as knowing the current affairs, knowing that he has admitted it, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Kowtow above the ground.
"Your Highness, although this Zhang Cheng has no virtue, he is also a student of my Jiangdong, and he has come thousands of miles to take the big exam. Please spare him, Your Highness! The student named Bu Kai, one of the Jiangdong students, knelt down and bowed to Liu Mang.
"Please spare him, Your Highness!" Other Jiangdong students are also interceding for Zhang Cheng, not for anything else, but they have a friendship with their fellow villagers.
Liu Mang naturally didn't dare to be interested in that Zhang Cheng, just a clown who jumped off the beam, a child of a poor family, you should work hard to go to school and get ahead again, but this person is complaining, thinking that it is all someone else's fault, such a person. Achievements are limited, or they die of grief and indignation. Either they offended some people who were not so lenient and were worn to death by the wicked.
So Liu Mang also waved his hand, "Although this person is rude, he is not guilty to death, Guan Hai let him go!" ”
"You're in luck!" Guan Hai snorted coldly, and suddenly threw Zhang Cheng on the ground and smashed it.
"The death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, this Zhang Cheng, I will never hire in Yangzhou, I hope that you will be reminded, people can have no talent, not without virtue, the duty of the virtuous, the duty of the non-responsible, the waste also!" Liu Mang set the death penalty for this Zhang Cheng, he is a son of a poor family, Liu Mang should have a high opinion of him, because the children of a poor family should have perseverance if they study hard, but seeing this, it seems that this person will only complain about heaven and others, blame others and forgive themselves, which will only harm others and themselves.
"We will follow the teachings of His Highness!" Everyone knelt on the ground and said to Liu Mang.
Zhang Cheng had been taken away in despair.
Liu Mang turned his head, but looked at the leader of the Jiangdong students with interest, "Are you from the Jiangdong Bu family?" ”
"Exactly!" Bu Kai nodded and said.
"Who are you?" Liu Mang looked at this Jiangdong student and asked, Bu Qi is a talent that Liu Mang left in Jiangdong, although he is a little bit of a philistine, but Liu Mang knows that he is the same as that Jia Xu Jia Wen, as long as he Liu Mang is undefeated, Bu Qi will always be used by him Liu Mang.
"That's, that's Uncle Kai!" Bu Kai is a little embarrassed, if you say it by generation, he Bu Kai is Bu Qi's nephew, but Bu Qi has never had a good influence on the Bu family, and even has a bad relationship with the Bu family, and never claims to be a Bu family, and he also says that he is a Huainan Bu family, not a Jiangdong Bu family, but you must know that the Jiangdong Bu family is the former Huainan Bu family.
"Not bad!" Liu Mang also knows that the three flavors of Buqi are partial to the Bu family, and they are not born by marriage, but by servants, so this identity and status are very embarrassing in the Bu family, and when they were young, they suffered a lot in the Bu family, and even the Bu family migrated to Jiangdong and was unwilling to take Bu Qi with them.
At that time, it was the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Buqi's mother died in the war, and Buqi was full of resentment towards the Bu family.
Liu Mang didn't want to get involved, but Bu Qi's sister wrote a letter to Liu Mang, letting Liu Mang know that the lord helped Bu Qi improve the relationship with the Bu family, it turned out that Bu Qi's old mother had already forgiven the Bu family, and also wanted to let Bu Qi return to the Bu family, after all, they had to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, but Bu Qi and the Bu family couldn't leave this face, the Bu family was a small official in Jiangdong's big family before, and the Bu family didn't care, but now Bu Qi has become the first civil official in Jiangdong, Naturally, if there is a contradiction between the two sides, it will not be a good thing for Jiangdong or themselves.
Liu Mang is good, and let Bu Kai think that His Royal Highness the King of Shu thinks he is good, and he can't help but be happy in his heart.
"When you came to Yangzhou, you participated in the big exam?" Liu Mang asked Bu Kai.
"Participated!" Bu Kai nodded.
"How?" Liu Mang asked the topic like an elder in the family.
"In the volume, after seven questions, I have not solved a single question except for the question of bamboo and wood!" Bu Kai was a little frustrated, he didn't know much about those problems, basically the same as most Jiangdong students.
"Oh?" Liu Mang thought it was a little interesting, although the first six questions were simple, but for the ancients who basically had no science now, they were all astronomy, but this person had hunting, and the bamboo and wood question he said was actually solved, isn't it a little interesting.
"Can you do the question of bamboo and wood?" Get the topic is the Pythagorean theorem.
"No!" Bu Kai shook his head directly.
"Why?" Liu Mang didn't understand it even more.
"It's just a trick, it took a few battles of bamboo and wood, and then measured it!" Bu Kai was a little ashamed, but it made Liu Mang feel that this person was really a talent.
The Pythagorean theorem is simple, but if you haven't learned it, you really don't know it.
And this Bukai is using practice to prove the answer to this question. Although Liu Mang needs those who are knowledgeable, he also needs these people who can practice.
If you're all nerds, even if you know it again, it's just a good exam. High scores and low ability are not what Liu Mang wants.
Bu Kai thought that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, would scold him for tricks, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to nod at this Bu Kai: "Practice brings true knowledge!" You've got three of them! ”
"Ahhh Bu Kai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Mang, the king of Shu, to boast about him.
"If it's really as you say, then there will definitely be your name on the official list in a few days, and we'll meet again then!" Liu Mang, the king of Shu, smiled at Bu Kai, the time is not early, and he Liu Mang is going back.
Liu Mang walked ahead and immediately gave way to a road.
"We send His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Everyone bowed again, and Liu Mang smiled and was about to leave.
"Wait, Yu'er, Yu'er!" The old man saw that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, was leaving, and immediately came back to his senses, and was about to come forward to find his Yu'er, but he was squeezed aside by everyone, and he couldn't hear his call at all. (To be continued......)
