"Now that the winner has been decided, how do you think this official should judge?" Qin Xin was not in a hurry to contact the Ming Xin Jushi, anyway, the Ming Xin Jushi was in the capital, and the two sides would meet sooner or later, so he smiled and asked Li Yuntian and Shen Yong and the others present. Where to chase novels, go fast, and go fast

As Li Yuntian said before, no matter what the outcome of this competition is, it will benefit the Guozijian immensely, and if they master this exquisite algorithm, it will definitely make the people of Nanjing Guozijian willing to bow down.

"Lord Si Ye, this competition is a dispute between the new law and the old law in arithmetic, since the new law of arithmetic wins, the lower officials feel that it can be promoted in the Guozi Prison."

Li Yuntian had already had a way to deal with it, and after a deep sigh, he said with a smile, he set this competition as a contest between the new law and the old law, and skillfully avoided the advantages and disadvantages of Chen Qing and the others and the superintendent of arithmetic.

"That's what the official meant." Shen Yong smiled and nodded when he heard this, Li Yuntian's approach was both reasonable and guaranteed the face of the superintendent, which was very safe.

"Since this is the case, then the official will judge according to this." Qin Xin smiled slightly, he didn't want to see the superintendent of the school being hit hard because of this matter.

"Lord Siye, the lower officials have a question that they want to test, I don't know if it's convenient?" Just as Qin Xin was about to announce the results, Li Yuntian suddenly spoke.

"Li Yushi, please." Qin Xin glanced at Li Yuntian with some surprise, and then made a gesture of invitation at him.

The supervisors and teachers at the scene looked at Li Yuntian when they heard this, and they didn't know what question he was going to make, but one thing was certain, the Hanlin who could enter the Hanlin Academy were all masters of science, and they were not very profound in arithmetic.

"The official has a question, I hope you can give the official an answer." Li Yuntian stood up, glanced at Chen Qing and the other supervisors of the Four Gate Pavilion and the supervisors of arithmetic who were looking at him in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "There are 100 rice grains, each grain is arranged in order from one to one hundred, if there is a group of 5 grains, how many divisions are there?" If each group of rice grains pays attention to the order, how many divisions are there? ”

At this moment, Chen Qing and the other prisoners of the Four Gate Pavilion were suddenly stunned, their brows furrowed tightly, and they were no longer as calm as the previous three games, Li Yuntian had a question of permutation and combination this time, they had not yet been in contact, so they naturally didn't know how to answer it.

The tall and thin prisoner of arithmetic and others also fell into contemplation, they had been exposed to similar problems before, but the number level was relatively small, generally the number did not exceed 10, and they were easy to calculate.

Li Yuntian suddenly came up with a number as big as 100, which made it difficult for them to calculate it using conventional methods, even if they took out 100 grains of rice and placed them on the spot, it would take a lot of time.

"My lord, the algorithm of this problem is too cumbersome for students to solve in a short time." Not long after, the thin and tall prisoner got up, bowed his hand at Li Yuntian, and took the lead in admitting defeat.

After all, they were born in arithmetic and knew the complexity of the process, so they gave up answering, otherwise it might take a few days and nights to get the result with rice grains, and it may not be possible to guarantee that the result is correct, because the slightest mistake will miss or miscalculate.

Li Yuntian smiled at the thin and tall prisoner when he heard this, pressed his hand down on him, and motioned for him to sit down, it seems that professional is professional, and he understands when he should retreat from the difficulty, and he doesn't want Chen Qing and the others to be looking for a solution now.

It wasn't until after a cup of tea that Chen Qing and the others gave up answering one after another, and they racked their brains and didn't come up with a reason.

"My lord, since you have this question, then you must have the answer, I don't know if you can tell the student." However, Chen Qing was not convinced, he thought that Li Yuntian's question was really difficult, how could anyone know those incomparably complicated divisions?

"Even if the official sues you, how can you prove whether what the official said is right or wrong?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked quietly and rhetorically.

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, what Li Yuntian said was right, but if only Li Yuntian knew it, God knew whether what Li Yuntian said was right or wrong.

"This official can tell you that there is an answer to this question and an algorithm." Li Yuntian saw that Chen Qing was speechless for a while, and said to him with a smile, "But before that, this official wants to announce the results of your competition just now, according to the table between the two sides just now, this official thinks that the scholars who are arithmetic are superior. ”

"My lord, since neither side has answered, why should we be left behind?" Chen Qing suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this, and asked in a loud voice dissatisfied.

"Everyone saw it just now, and the scholars who studied arithmetic quickly gave up answering, and the scholars of the Simen Pavilion took a lot of time."

Li Yuntian had long known that Chen Qing would not be convinced, so he glanced around at the scene and replied in an orderly manner, "If there is no exact algorithm, this problem can be called unsolvable, and the fact that the scholars of arithmetic can be the first to see through this is enough to prove that they are superior in arithmetic and avoid wasting time in vain." ”

"The official asks you, do you agree with the official's statement?" As he spoke, Li Yuntian turned to Chen Qing and asked with a stern expression.

"The student agrees." After Chen Qing thought about it, he gave up his hand to Li Yuntian helplessly, although he was still a little unconvinced, he really couldn't refute Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian saw Chen Qing lower his head, smiled slightly, got up and walked back to his seat, his move just now was not only a lesson for Chen Qing and others, but also to save face for the inmates of arithmetic, so that everyone understood that the reason why Chen Qing and others won was not that their arithmetic attainments were stronger than which arithmetic supervisors, but that they had mastered the new algorithm.

And if everyone is on the same starting line, then the advantage of the superintendent of arithmetic in the field of arithmetic is obvious, and he is doing his best to make up for the psychological damage caused by the reckless challenge of Chen Qing and others to the superintendent of arithmetic.

Sure enough, the faces of the thin and tall prisoners and the others immediately eased, and their hearts couldn't help but be filled with a trace of gratitude to Li Yuntian.

At this point, the competition came to an end, and people left in groups, talking about the twists and turns of the competition process with great interest, and felt endless aftertaste.

"My lord, I wonder if you can tell the students the solution to the problem of rice grains?" When Li Yuntian walked out of the Huiwen Hall with Qin Xin, Shen Yong and the others, Chen Qing, who was already waiting there, greeted him, first saluted everyone, and then bowed down to ask Li Yuntian, he wanted to understand what Li Yuntian said about the solution to the problem.

"Have you ever heard of pulling out seedlings to help grow?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly, glanced at Chen Qing meaningfully, and then walked away with Qin Xin and the others, Qin Xin had already set up a luncheon in the restaurant to invite him and Shen Yong.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, Chen Qing has not yet come into contact with the permutation and combination equations, otherwise he will not be able to achieve it quickly, which will make Chen Qing's psychology change unpredictable.

Chen Qing looked at Li Yuntian's back with a puzzled expression, Li Yuntian's answer just now was ambiguous, he didn't know if Li Yuntian knew the solution.

After the afternoon was dismissed, Li Yuntian did not go home, but went straight from Wenyuan Pavilion to the edict of the Fusi of Jinyi Weiben Town.

The eunuch of the Imperial Prison knew that Li Yuntian was a popular person in front of the emperor and the queen mother, so he went out to greet him with a smile on his face, nodded and accompanied him into the prison.

Although the Jinyiwei prison is beautifully called "Imperial Prison", the environment and structure are similar to those of the Criminal Department prison, which is not only dark and damp, but also has a bad smell in the air.

There are a lot of people in the prison, all of them are high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have committed crimes, and after Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, he paid close attention to the rule of officials, and many powerful people were unlucky, and they were imprisoned, all of them looked depressed, their eyes were blank, and they looked very indifferent.

Generally speaking, the officials who go to the imperial prison have committed major crimes, and it is difficult to get out alive as long as they go in, and people like Huang Huai and Yang Pu who can get out of prison alive and can also serve as members of the imperial court are rare, after all, there are very few old ministers of the East Palace like them who can survive until the crown prince ascends the throne, and Xie Jin, who has a close relationship with Emperor Hongxi, died in the imperial prison for no reason.

Therefore, as long as they go to prison, then those officials who committed crimes will all be disheartened, and the whole person will collapse.

"Li Yushi, this is Wu Hanlin." Under the guidance of the prison, Li Yuntian came to a cell and said with a smile on his face.

If there is one biggest difference between the Imperial Prison and the Penal Department Prison, it is that most of the cells in the Imperial Prison are single rooms and only one prisoner is held.

In the cell, a man in a white prison uniform with a disheveled cape was sleeping on a wooden plank covered with straw, and because his back was facing the door, he could not see his face clearly.

"Open the cell door." Li Yuntian glanced at the prisoner, then stuffed a silver ticket of one hundred taels into the hand of the prisoner, and said with a smile, "Brothers, you have worked hard here, the weather is getting cold, buy a bowl of wine to drink!" ”

"Xie Li Yushi." The prison was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket into his pocket and let people open the prison door.

Ordinary officials in the imperial court, especially Hanlin and Yushi, look down on these prison officials the most, thinking that they are despicable, greedy, cruel and cunning villains, Li Yuntian, as a dignified imperial historian, is so considerate of the hard work of these prison officials, it is really rare.

"Wu Hanlin, Li Yushi has come to see you." Once in the cell, the prisoner walked up to the sleeping prisoner and reached out and pushed him.

"Are you Li Yuntian?" The sleeping prisoner woke up, it was Wu Shaoqing, who was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Zhang in June, stretched out his hand to brush away the long hair scattered in front of him, glanced at Li Yuntian and asked with some surprise, I didn't expect the Empress Dowager and the red man in front of the emperor to come here.

Although Wu Shaoqing looked haggard, he had no scars on his body, because he had not been interrogated since he entered the imperial prison and had been staying in this cell.

"You're here to kill me." Then, Wu Shaoqing thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he really couldn't think of the purpose of Li Yuntian's coming here.

To tell the truth, Wu Shaoqing is not afraid of death, but let him die on the charge of rebellion, he will never accept it, and his name will be ruined for a while.

"Wu Shaoqing, the waiter of the Hanlin Academy, took the order!" Li Yuntian did not answer Wu Shaoqing, but took out a yellow silk from his arms expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice to him.

"Minister Wu Shaoqing took the order." Seeing this, Wu Shaoqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and knelt in front of Li Yuntian.

"The emperor's decree, after investigation, Wu Shaoqing, a scholar of Hanlin Waiter, was deceived by others, listened to slanderous rumors and criticized the king, and intended to force the palace, which is really an unforgivable crime!" Li Yuntian opened the yellow silk and read quietly, "However, Wu Shaoqing has been a gentleman for nearly 30 years, and he has served the country loyally, and he is really a loyal and good minister of my Ming Dynasty, so I opened the net and punished him to imprisonment for three months, not as an example!" ”

"Next...... Isn't it an example? After listening to the first half of the edict, Wu Shaoqing thought that he was going to die, but when Li Yuntian read the second half, he couldn't help but be taken aback, looked up at Li Yuntian in amazement, and didn't react for a while. One
