Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 62 is a mule is a horse, pull it out and yo

The wrinkled paper spread out, and the crooked handwriting gradually became clear.

Curious figures surrounded Mr. Liu, and a small voice read out in a low voice.

"Today there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage..."

His thin arms trembled faintly as he recited, his gray brows were furrowed high, Old Liu closed the scroll with a swipe, a look of surprise flashed across his old face.

It was an ancient problem!

Pheasant and rabbit in the same cage!

Speaking of it, this problem is really difficult to solve, and I, together with several masters of traditional Chinese arithmetic, worked together for half a year to figure it out.

Unexpectedly, such secret topics are now living among the people!

Raising his eyebrows, Mr. Liu looked solemn, folded the scroll, and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Shu Ming, just say so."

"Who created this secret and ancient problem?"

what?
Exclamations suddenly came from the crowd.

The pupils of the students suddenly opened wide, and each of them stood there in a daze, as if frozen.

Ancient puzzle?

Keep it secret?
Isn't this something that only people with advanced mathematics can explore?

After being dazed for a while, countless pairs of eyes on the astonished face shot over.

Wang Shuming looked ignorant, when he got the topic, he felt that the words were concise and clear, but unexpectedly it came from such a background!
The previous shame seemed to disappear into nothingness in an instant, and he simply confessed the whole matter.

"This question was written by a new Mr. Jin from the Prince's Mansion, not as young as the weak crown, and his name is Li Xian."

"Li Xian?"

Hearing this name, Mr. Liu looked suspicious, as if the name was quite familiar.

However, after several years of hard work behind closed doors, there are only a few impressions in the end.

Shouts of astonishment suddenly sounded from the crowd, and the disciple in white raised his hand to speak.

"Could it be that a few days ago, His Majesty bestowed a marriage contract and promoted the person enshrined in the Imperial Academy?"

Everyone glanced at the person who had spoken, and their questioning eyes once again focused on Wang Shuming in order to seek the truth.

Wang Shuming frowned and nodded, with a puzzled look on his face, he spoke slowly.

"good."

"Recently, this person's family has been very rich, highly respected and favored, and he has been rewarded for no merits and has joined the king's side. After the banquet, His Majesty actually betrothed the jewel in his palm to this person."

"Princess Gao Yang is dissatisfied with the marriage contract and made troubles in Li's residence, but His Majesty blames Princess Gao Yang heavily and protects this person."

"It's really incredible."

After some words, Li Xian's repeated favors made all the disciples silently stunned.

Someone strode forward, showing displeasure, and a cold snort came out of his nose.

"This kid must be slick and cunning. He just deceived His Majesty and won high officials many times. I'm afraid that the position of Mr. Prince is not upright."

"It is widely rumored in the countryside that this person is lazy by nature, idle and has no ambition to make progress."

"I was drowsy at the poetry meeting, and I didn't mention a poem. It must be rumored that this person has no skills."

All the sons and daughters of the literati have the imprint of innocence in their blood, and it is inevitable that they will feel disgusted when they hear this theory.

The milky white Confucian robe floated, and some disciples raised their fists in grief and indignation.

"How dare such fish in troubled waters infect the pure place of practice in the Imperial Academy? Wouldn't it defile the hall of holy learning?"

"From my point of view, these ancient problems are just accidental, and they are used to pretend to be sophisticated tricks!"

"Our Hanlin Academy is not a place for fame and reputation, where filth is hidden!"

The topic turned around again, and many disciples looked contemplative, but their hearts seemed to be enlightened as if they had seen the sun.

The sound of scolding in the entire courtyard gradually became louder and chaotic.

The flesh on the old cheek twitched. Old Liu's face was gloomy and dignified. He pondered for a moment and then spoke out slowly.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient."

"It's really hateful. But after all, we live in a secluded courtyard and know little about worldly affairs, let alone hearsay and confuse our eyes and ears."

The old face was raised slightly, looking at Wang Shuming, swinging his thin arms.

"Shu Ming, tell me in detail how Li Xian came up with the question and how he said it."

Maybe it was affected by the excitement of the crowd, or maybe Wang Shuming felt like he was being teased, and the meaning of his words changed slightly.

With a soft sigh, Wang Shuming bowed slowly towards Mr. Liu.

"The disciple is not good at learning, so he wrote the question first, but when he wrote the Jiugong arithmetic, Li Xian smashed it."

"Li Xian once said that the arithmetic of the nine palaces is just a childhood game, and the sixteenth palace and the thirty-second palace are definitely not a problem."

wow.

The whole front yard was in an uproar.

"Games as a child? Although Jiugong Mathematics is not too difficult to learn, it is definitely not to the point of dismissing it. How dare Li Xian speak wild words!"

"Hehe! Extremely arrogant! Li Xian has such talent, why is he not listed in the imperial list, and the capital is hopeless?"

"Young and frivolous! You dare to look at no one in the first glimpse of the way of mathematics. Do you really think that he is the only one in this world who can be all nine palaces?"

The noisy voices broke out again, and the abuse and reprimands were endless.

Old Liu's cheeks moved slightly, his face was gloomy, and he raised his palm, signaling the enraged disciples around him to calm down.

Strutting away from the crowd with his hands behind his back, Mr. Liu walked forward proudly, with anger looming between his white brows.

"The old man has been studying arithmetic for more than ten years, and he only feels that the mountains of books are high and the roads are steep, and his knowledge is as straight as the water of the river and the sea, boundless."

"Even so, the old man didn't dare to say the word "simple". How dare a mere brat try to please the public? Is this mocking me that no one in Tang Dynasty has arithmetic?"

With the support of the teacher, Wang Shuming was full of confidence in his heart, bowed his hands respectfully, pointed at the scroll in the teacher's hand, and said in a deep voice.

"Teacher, this son not only embarrasses the disciple with ancient problems, but also raises other problems..."

The figure in front of him crossed a single palm, interrupting Wang Shuming's words.

"No more words!"

"The problem of pheasant and rabbit in the same cage has been studied for several years even as a teacher. He has the test paper in his hand but has no answer. If he wants to use this problem to pretend to be a tiger, he is probably using the wrong place!"

"As for what I mentioned later, how high is Mount Tai, and how much sand is carried by the Yellow River, are all fantasies and nonsense, so I can ignore them."

They were all hot-blooded young people, but this time the teacher came out, it only made the blood rush in his heart, and the meaning of condemnation flourished.Either raise your fist or clasp your hands.

"Students implore the teacher to come out of the mountains and rectify the names of my college disciples!"

"Resolutely ban those who try to catch fame, restore the peace of the prince, and restore the purity of the pure land of the academy!"

"The prince is the hope of the country, and the example of young talents. I implore the teacher to come up with a test to expose Li Xian's false name!"

In the morning wind, shouts resounded through the courtyard, and the high-pitched voice filled the blood, igniting the silent fighting spirit in his heart.

Slowly stretching out his thin and big hands, squeezing the air in front of him, a faint blush appeared on Old Liu's haggard cheeks, as if he had returned to the battlefield of talent and learning in his youth.

The shouting and shouting around stopped, a gleam flashed in the eyes of Mr. Liu Jingming, and his voice swayed slowly from the standing wooden steps.

"Everyone! The School of Arithmetic was built under the supervision of His Majesty, with the intention of recruiting talents from all over the world. It is a place where great talents gather in the Tang Dynasty."

"As the chief of Chinese studies and arithmetic, I will definitely not allow my disciples to be humiliated by others, let alone Yang Wu, who is half-knowledgeable!"

"This matter! This old man must investigate to the end!"

Waving his hand towards a figure with a happy face, Mr. Liu said sternly with a solemn expression.

"Shu Ming, as soon as you can, you can report to Prince Jin's Mansion, and the old man will visit in person and ask Li Xian face-to-face!"
