Referee Huang Zicheng stood up: "Tell me your basis." ”

Zhu Yunwen pointed to the south wall next to the bamboo forest and said: "The palace wall is three zhang high, and the bamboo is a little higher than the palace wall, and the bamboo I see should be three zhang and seven feet high." ”

Everyone looked at it and compared it carefully, and it seemed to be about the same......

"Well, that's a good idea."

Huang Zicheng nodded, and looked at Zhu Yunxi again: "How did you get four feet and three feet?" ”

"Calculated by arithmetic."

Zhu Yunxi pointed to the shadow on the ground: "Compare it and forget it, it's very simple, won't you?" ”

Several people shook their heads in unison, their eyes glazed.

Pretend to be forced to let people know that you are awesome, otherwise this forced will be in vain.

Zhu Yunxi began to popularize arithmetic.

In fact, the development of mathematics in ancient China was very good, especially in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Wensu, the author of "The Treasure of Arithmetic", used derivatives to solve higher-order equations.

It's just that very few people learn arithmetic, and the main hall doesn't teach these things.

Zhu Yunwen didn't believe it, and he didn't want to accept defeat, so he ordered someone to cut down the bamboo and measure it on the spot.

The result was a slap in the face, the length of the bamboo is four feet and four feet, and Zhu Yunxi's four feet and three feet are closer.

Because the upper part of the bamboo is somewhat curved, the shadow appears slightly shorter.

Huang Zicheng said: "These are just strange tricks, nothing is anything. ”

It is clear that there is no desire to admit this game.

He is a gentleman on the surface, but in fact he is Zhu Yunwen's staff in private.

Huang Zicheng's words immediately caused displeasure among everyone.

This old guy is obviously eccentric!

"Forget it."

In the end, Zhu Yunxi stood up and said: "Lao Tzu said, the way of the sage, for the sake of not fighting, there is no need to divide between brothers, today I am lost." ”

A small cultural competition, to put it deeper, is to compete for the position of the emperor's grandson.

The crown prince Zhu Biao's bones are not cold, but the two sons are fighting over the inheritance, and it is spread out to make people laugh.

Zhu Yunxi is noble on the one hand, and deliberately makes Zhu Yunxi and Huang Zicheng the target of public criticism, which is disgusting.

Huang Zicheng's complexion changed slightly.

Secretly, this kid is so insidious!

The saint does not fight, which means that a noble person does things and does not fight for merit.

Zhu Yunxi said simply, taking advance as retreat, and directly held himself high!

His heart is damned!

The two looked at each other.

At this time, Huang Zicheng realized that Zhu Yunxi was extraordinary.

In his heart, he listed him as the same weight as the king of Yan and guarded against him.

......

In the Wuying Palace, the light is soft, quiet and peaceful.

On the dragon case, there is a lacquered gold carved beast furnace, light smoke curling, slowly rising.

The hall exudes a faint fragrance, faint and endless, if there is nothing.

"Jiang Xuan, the commander of the lowly Jinyi guard, enter the palace to wait!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear and buried his head in reading the book.

It was about half an hour before he called, "Come in." ”

Jiang Zhen stepped forward in small steps, slightly arched shoulders, holding a booklet in his hand.

"Today, His Royal Highness Yun Wei got up at the hour, washed up and read in the study for half an hour."

"His Royal Highness Yun Xi got up at three o'clock, washed up and practiced in the courtyard for half an hour, and ...... with the maids sent by the Founding Mansion."

"At the end of the day, the two highnesses will go to the dining hall together."

"His Royal Highness Yun Wei drank a bowl of millet porridge, two steamed buns, and two plates of green vegetables for breakfast."

"His Royal Highness Yunxi ate two bowls of millet porridge, a steamed bun, and a plate of side dishes."

"At three o'clock, the two highnesses went to the main hall together."

Jiang Zhen whispered what the two imperial grandsons did every day.

From morning to night, nothing is missing.

At the end of the day, it was more than three o'clock in the morning.

In terms of getting up early, Zhu Yunxi was forced to open his business, and it took three months to get used to it.

That's it, Zhu Yunwen got up half an hour early.

In terms of living habits, Zhu Yuanzhang has a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the two.

Obvious one-on-one and one martial.

And Zhu Yunxi seems to have higher requirements for the quality of life, and he is not used to eating simple meals.

"Send a message to the Shang Diet Supervisor, the emperor's grandson is the time to grow his body, add meat to the dining hall of the East Palace, and there is no need to follow the mourning period."

Zhu Yuanzhang's simple will made the food in the East Palace return to its original state, and there was meat at once.

When the palace people went out to deliver the decree, Jiang Zhen continued:

"In the main hall, after Your Majesty left, the two Highnesses competed in their talents, His Royal Highness Yun Xi composed one poem, and His Royal Highness Yun Xi composed two poems......"

After a busy pause, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head in surprise: "He can still write poetry?" ”

It's like discovering a new continent.

I can't believe it!

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tell me carefully." ”

Facing Emperor Zhu's sharp gaze, Jiang Zhen did not dare to hide it and reported truthfully.

All three poems were recorded in the booklet by Jin Yiwei.

"In ancient times, Cao Zhi recited poems in seven steps, and my grandson can also compose poems in seven steps?"

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned.

Immediately, his face gradually sank.

In this way, this bastard is deliberately clumsy?

It doesn't seem right.

A scheming person can certainly hide his ambitions, but how to hide his talents?

Throughout the ages, how many people can compose poems in seven steps?

What's more, it's a fourteen-year-old boy.

Zhu Yuanzhang also focused on the content of the poems.

“...... The fields of the predecessors were harvested by the descendants, and it was said that the dragon and the tiger were fighting for ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang silently recited Zhu Yunxi's poem borrowed from Yang Shen.

It's very meaningful, especially the last two sentences.

The successive generations have been taken over by the descendants of the foundation created by their predecessors, but the parties themselves thought that they were fighting the dragon.

Isn't this a hint that they are vying for the position of the crown prince?

Yun Xi, this bastard boy, when did he have such a realm?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the grassroots level and didn't know a few big characters when he was young, he studied culture by himself during the period of fighting the country, and often studied with great writers and humbly studied with his heart.

Especially after becoming the emperor, he paid close attention to education, from the Four Books and Five Classics to the military book formation, from historical allusions to astronomical astronomical horoscopes, Zhu Yuanzhang can come easily!

It is recorded in the "National Legend": "When Wu Wang was small, he didn't know how to read, and after he raised the army, he kissed the Confucians and wandered the divine understanding. ”

It is recorded in the "Chronicle of the History of the Ming Dynasty": "Taizu ...... In the middle of the line, he kept his hands on the book, examined the traces of the hundred kings, and knew the reason for the chaos. ”

In the Ming generation, from beginning to end, the emperors who were the best at learning were Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Youzhen.

Although Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, laughed at himself as "young and out of school, long and unknown", in fact, he was a knowledgeable person among all emperors.

"You mean, Yun Xi won and finally conceded defeat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

Jiang Zhen replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness said that the way of a saint is not to fight, and there is no need to divide between brothers and sisters, and voluntarily admit defeat." ”

Looks like I'm underestimating him!

Zhu Yuanzhang is a scheming person, since he started his business to the present, he has been the boss for forty years, what kind of people and things has he not encountered?

Zhu Yunxi was careful about this, and he could see it at a glance.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Yunxi's bastard boy knew how to be humble and tolerant, and he was a person with a big pattern.

Zhu Yuanzhang retreated from everyone in the hall.

Leaning alone on the dragon chair.

In the quiet hall, he let out a long sigh like a lonely old man.

"Biao'er, you are leaving, and your father is stumped."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself: "Dad originally wanted to make Yunwen the emperor's grandson, but he broke the minds of his younger brothers. ”

"I didn't expect Yun Xi's brain to be active, and his performance in the past few months is amazing."

"The art of war, talented, capable of literature and martial arts, benevolence and means, it is exactly the same as you were at the beginning!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dad is worried now, how to choose?"

"Biao'er, if you're here, why is Dad worried about this?"

......

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly issued a decree to let the two older emperors and grandsons participate in the early dynasty tomorrow.
