British writer

In front of the Stockholm Grand Hotel,

A carriage slowly stopped.

The wheels, axles and shafts of the carriage are usually made of high-quality metal materials, which are shiny and give people a luxurious and noble feeling.

The interior of the carriage is also very beautifully decorated.

The seats feature detailed embroidery, the floors are covered with wool carpets, and the roof is decorated with ornate tapestries.

"Your Majesty...uh...your majesties, we are here."

The speaker was a young man in his early thirties, with short, light blond hair that was naturally curly, and his eyes shone with shrewdness, revealing his keenness and decisiveness.

His name is Ronner Solman, the executor of Nobel's will.

As for the "two majesties\

,"One, King Oscar II of Sweden, French name: Joseph Francois Oscar Bernadotte;

Second, the German Emperor Wilhelm II, Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern.

Oscar II nodded and said,

"Emperor William, please."

There are two coachmen, both capable guards.

They helped the three people out of the carriage.

William II looked up at the building in front of him,

"King Oscar, is tomorrow's dinner held here?"

Oscar II nodded,

"Yes, we also renovated the entire hotel for this purpose."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly in the direction of Solman and introduced: "This young Solman is responsible for all matters related to the Nobel Prize. He is the administrative director of the Nobel Foundation."

William II was curious,

"Administrative director? That's the executive director~"

Oscar II said "Huh?"

Looking at that embarrassed look, it seemed that he just remembered that the foundation could set up the position of executive director.

William II could not help but curl his lips,

There was disdain in his eyes.

Hum, Northern Europe...

Oscar II didn't notice it and led the way.

"please."

The three of them entered the hotel.

The strange thing is that there is not even a single waiter in the lobby to greet you.

It was quiet all around,

"..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere was slightly weird.

William II frowned,

"How is this going?"

He glanced back at the gate,

At this time, several more carriages stopped behind the luxurious carriages, and more Swedish and German soldiers guarded the gate.

"Tsk..."

William II was speechless,

Looking at the atmosphere, it doesn't look like there's an assassination...

Oscar II was also confused and asked Solman in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Solman wanted to die.

I made the overall arrangements to pick up the two His Majesty, and the result was such a grand event.

He was a little dizzy,

"Here... I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he was ready to leave.

But William II stopped him: "Wait!"

He listened to the conversation between Oscar II and Solman and knew that he was encountering an emergency, so he couldn't help but become interested.

"Together we will."

Solman then looked at his king and asked with his eyes.

Oscar II has a headache;

"Emperor William, Solman is smart and capable, we can fully trust..."

Before he finished speaking, William II interrupted: "In that case, please ask His Majesty the King to tell me about Mr. Solman's deeds on the way."

After saying that, he walked through the lobby at the lead.

Oscar II: "..."

Solman: "..."

The two made eye contact, then quickly followed helplessly.

They followed silently,

Unexpectedly, William II said: "Didn't we just talk about Mr. Solman's deeds? Why didn't you talk about it?"

Oscar II had no choice but to bite the bullet and chat,

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you should know where the monetary reward for the Nobel Prize comes from, right?"

"certainly."

William II replied: "Heritage~"

He seemed to be remembering something,

"Speaking of which, were there any lawsuits in Paris at that time?"

Nobel had an unpleasant experience dealing with lawyers in patent litigation during his lifetime.

Therefore, he caricatures lawyers as fussy parasites.

This directly led to him not consulting a lawyer when drafting his will, but taking a template from a friend and copying it.

So, the subsequent lawsuit came.

"There are real questions of testamentary validity," Solman said.

William II nodded,

"It's normal to be prosecuted if you don't give money to relatives."

Solman smiled bitterly,

"In fact, Mr. Nobel left a large sum of money in his bequest to his nephews, nieces, friends, and servants. However, people are greedy, and those relatives filed a lawsuit in Paris to try to negate the validity of the will."

Oscar II is curious,

"Emperor William, how did you know about this?"

William II was a little impatient,

My heart said, is anyone as unlearned and unskilled as you?

He explained: "We have a great jurist in Germany - Savigny. His theory of legal relations has strong guidance on such difficult problems in international private law."

Oscar II:? ? ?

His eyes are full of clarity and wisdom,

Can't understand.

William II was even more speechless,

"Don't talk about this."

He turned to Solman and said curiously: "Let's keep gossiping."

Solman said: "Because of the lawsuit, it was impossible to ask banks to remit funds to Swedish banks with great fanfare. I was forced to visit various banks in Paris to retrieve the funds, stocks, bonds and other certificates belonging to Mr. Nobel. .”

William II asked: "How did you leave the country? Could it be..."

boom--

A loud bang!

All three were shocked.

They cast their gaze in the direction of the sound source,

I saw that the gate leading to the garden was closed, but at this time I didn't know what happened.

Clang——

Another muffled sound.

At the same time, there were quarrels inside,

"I was upset with you yesterday! Why is it Goldbach's conjecture!? Number theory is better than topology, isn't it!?"

"What's wrong with you? Number theory is the best!"

"Fuck you!"

"Don't fight anymore~"

…

What the hell is this? ?

The three of them were stunned.

Solman went to open the door.

As a result, as soon as a gap was opened, two entangled people rolled out.

It looked like two wild beasts fighting for territory, refusing to give in to each other.

Their clothes were torn in a mess, their faces were full of anger, and their breathing was very rapid.

Sweat dripped onto the ground, forming small puddles.

But the two of them were obviously not really fighting.

Hug each other, twist and twist...

The picture is too beautiful to look at.

Solman was shocked;

"Professor Arrhenius? Professor Ross! What are you doing?"

He was answered in unison:

"Fight for views!"×2

Solman:? ? ?

William II:? ? ?

Oscar II:? ? ?

All three of them are in trouble.

They subconsciously looked towards the garden and found that the battlefield inside was even more chaotic.

The elderly scientists were red-faced;

And those young people in their 40s and 50s immediately started to persuade others with the truth.

The waiters hurriedly separated them,

But the two parties who were separated were still unsatisfied and would still attack each other with all kinds of gibberish.

"! @* # ￥%..."

"% # !* @￥..."

So, the verbal abuse returned to the previous physical rejection,

The arms and teeth were intertwined, almost twisted into knots.

Oscar II spreads his hands,

"No wonder there isn't a single waiter in the lobby. It turns out they are all here to maintain order. Alas..."

With that said, he turned to William II,

"Emperor William, should we...um..."

Oscar II's words were caught in his throat.

Because he noticed that William II's eyes were full of excitement and his eyes were bright, like two burning flames.

"Gu..."

Oscar II swallowed.

"Emperor...Your Majesty?"

William II seemed not to have heard, and the corners of his mouth curved up, muttering to himself: "Hit, beat, beat! I want to see the blood flow into a river!"

When Oscar II heard this, his head was filled with black lines,

￣□￣｜｜

As a result, William II bypassed Arrhenius and Ross, who were hugging each other, and ducked into the garden.

Oscar II has a big head,

He followed quickly,

"Dear Majesty Emperor William, how dangerous it is here..."

William II looked around,

"Danger?"

He only saw fights, but no injuries.

Dangerous hammer...

At this moment, a majestic voice came from the crowd: "Unify! Unify! Stop! Hands!"

William II was surprised,

He always felt that this voice was somewhat familiar.

Moreover, this sound seems to have a kind of magic power, and it actually separates the scientists who are entangled and mating.

There were heavy breathing sounds all around,

"Ha ha……"

The atmosphere in the garden was strange.

At this time, the voice spoke again: "Is anyone hurt?"

This time, William II remembered,

It's the Chinese!

Lu Shi!

When Queen Victoria died of illness, William II met Lu Shi.

Lu Shi pushed through the crowd, jumped slightly, and stood on the sculpture in the dry pool in the center of the garden.

He looked down and confirmed again,

"Is anyone hurt?"

No one answered.

"Huh~"

Lu Shi let out a long breath,

Xin said, there is no one left in this group of scientists. They fought fiercely, but in the end, not even one person lost.

It's really "Don't fight anymore~".

He said speechlessly: "You said, why are you all... ugh..."

Don't know how to evaluate it.

The scientists also let him scold them, lowering their heads like children.

Seeing this scene, Oscar II was shocked.

He whispered: "Who is that?"

Solman said with a sinister face: "Professor Lu Shi from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He was the mastermind of the previous affairs in the School of Liberal Arts."

Oscar II raised his eyebrows,

"What 'mastermind'? That's too ugly to say."

"ah?"

Solman was confused;

This is not what His Majesty the King said before.

The scolding was quite unpleasant at that time.

like what,

"Just Chinese\

,""Even provoked the Swedish Academy\

,""arrogant fool"

…

Aggression is full.

But now, why have you become so amiable?

Solman thought for a long time before reacting.

It seems that Oscar II changed his tune when he saw that Lu Shi had a high reputation among scientists and felt that he could not be offended.

It's like a chameleon...

Solman complained crazily in his heart.

On the other side, Lu Shi had confirmed that no one was injured, so he asked, "Who moved first just now?"

No one said anything at the scene.

Whoever Lu Shi's eyes fell on would lower their head or look to the side.

Acting like this makes him look more like a child.

At this moment, Lu Shi knew that what the teacher said was true:

Whoever makes small moves below can be clearly seen on the podium.

Lu Shi asked again,

"Who made the first move just now?"

He looked at someone,

"Is that you? Professor Buechner?"

Eduard Buechner, German,

In 1896, because he closely combined the vitality of yeast cells with the chemical action of enzymes, he greatly promoted the development of microbiology, biochemistry, fermentation physiology and enzyme chemistry, and opened a new page in the metabolism of microorganisms.

Of course, he was also the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1907.

Buechner sighed;

"It's me. But that guy Moissan..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Henri Moissan stood up and said dissatisfied: "Buechner, you still want to fight me?"

This is also a future Nobel Prize winner, a Frenchman,

His result was the preparation of elemental fluorine.

Lu Shi spread his hands,

"Come on, you guys haven't even got a bruise on your body after the beating. What kind of hard beating is this?"

One sentence made both of them very embarrassed.

Buechner said: "Professor Lu, the main theme of your novel must be..."

Lu Shi spread his hands,

"I just wrote the work. As for what you can see from it, there is a saying, 'In the hearts of a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets,' right? Why do you have to choose either/or? Woolen cloth?"

Bichner was a little dissatisfied;

But Lu Shi, the original author, said so, and it was really hard for him to bother with it anymore.

Moissan on the other side smiled and said: "You speak German, what literature do you know?"

These words are a bit stinging,

Even William II behind him couldn't help but frown.

However, there is a common saying:

French is a language spoken to lovers, German is a language spoken to enemies.

This shows that many people feel that German is too hard, too sonorous, and too powerful.

Buechner was quite unhappy;

He comes from a family that has been farming for generations. His father is a farmer. But seeing that his son loves learning, he works hard to create conditions for his son to study.

Therefore, Buechner is known as a "genius chemist born from farmers".

This kind of background gave him a strong spirit of resistance.

"Huh... How can the French spoken by Professor Moissan be any better? When I took the train to France, listening to the conductor announce the station was like coughing up phlegm, with complications such as irregular heartbeat and poor breathing. I even wanted to jump out of the car."

Hearing what he said, Moissan almost lost his breath and his face turned red.

"You and I……"

I couldn't finish a word in half a day.

Lu Shi shook his head when he saw it.

These scientists could obviously attack with words, but they just wanted to fight violently.

How can you beat someone to death?

It would be better to criticize each other without any psychological burden, and the effect may be better.

After a while, Moissan said: "No matter what you say, the ironclad fact is right in front of you. Professor Lu wrote "The Village Teacher" in French. Why didn't he use German?"

Facts speak louder than words,

Buechner was speechless.

He looked at Lu Shi.

Lu Shi knew German himself, so of course he would not look down on or look down on a certain language.

He said: "There is no good or bad language, nor is there any rudeness or elegance. Whether a language sounds good or not is actually related to psychological expectations and physiological perception. To put it simply, it means different acceptance levels of different pronunciations. "

Someone said: "But German words are generally longer and the structural focus is different. What's going on?"

Lu Shi was not a linguist;

But because I understand many types of foreign languages ​​and have many applications, I can talk a lot.

He thought for a moment,

"I think this has something to do with the rigor of the German language. People who speak German should be able to notice that there are formula-like rules in German pronunciation. This rule is sometimes stiff, especially the deceptive uvular sound. Anyone who understands it can understand it. .”

Everyone was silent.

Lu Shi continued: "In short, each language has its own characteristics, and there is no distinction between good and bad, superior or inferior."

Buechner asked: "Then, why does Professor Lu write in English and French? You seem to know German..."

"It must be because I am more familiar with these two languages ​​and can use them easily," Moissan said.

Lu Shi smiled noncommittally,

He didn't want to say more about this.

Unexpectedly, Verne spoke up,

"It's not because of familiarity. If it was because of familiarity, Professor Lu would definitely create in Chinese. He chose English and French because of market demand. To put it bluntly, there are many people who speak these two languages."

This is the core,

Books will eventually be sold.

Lu Shi smiled and said: "Heroes cherish heroes. Mr. Verne, you are also a best-selling author, so you understand."

Verne laughed,

"I don't dare compare myself to you."

That's what he said, but he was grinning so much that his mouth almost reached the back of his head.

Lu Shi clapped his hands,

"Okay, everyone, please stop criticizing each other. The motivation for me to write "Chao Wen Tao" was after watching Professor Planck, Lord Kelvin, and Mr. Einstein discuss physics. I hope everyone's discussion will be harmonious..."

Before he finished speaking, someone interrupted: "Professor Lu, since you think language is not distinguished by high or low, romantic or rude, then why are so few people speaking German?"

Everyone followed the sound.

Bichner's eyes widened,

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Lu Shi also noticed William II,

He said: "Your Majesty, the German-speaking population is not only inferior to English and French, but also inferior to Spanish and Portuguese. Why do you think it is?"

William II raised the corners of his mouth,

"Is this a test question for me?"

of course not.

What Lu Shi asked was actually the cause of World War I.

As the main planner of World War I and the founder of the Blitz plan, how could William II not understand this?

Admittedly, he doesn't have any concrete ideas yet, he just has a vague feeling.

But this feeling was enough for him and Lu Shi to have a tacit understanding.

He smiled and said: "Professor Lu, there are two types of people I hate the most in my life. One is the person who talks only half the words..."

Everyone was silent, waiting for the next step.

As a result, William II said nothing more.

He waved his hand and walked briskly to the garden gate.

Solman and Oscar II followed.

Watching their figures disappear through the door, the scientists couldn't help but discuss in low voices.

"What do you think is the second person that Emperor William hates?"

"I don't know. I think he must be someone who studies number theory."

"You really want to die?"

"Just kidding! Just kidding!"

…

Seeing them like this, Lu Shi let out a sigh of relief,

"Okay, okay, if you have any discussions, please go back and resolve them privately. Don't stop fighting."

The scientists dispersed in a hurry,

They were all satisfied after hearing the full text of "Chao Wen Dao".

Verne came up,

"Lu, tell me, who is the second type of person that Emperor William hates?"

Lu Shi laughed,

"Just a simple word game."

…

the other side,

Oscar II asked: "Emperor William, what do you hate..."

William II spread his hands,

"There are two types of people I hate the most in my life. One is the person who talks only half the words..."

"..."

"..."

There was a long silence.

Oscar II said frantically: "Then what?"

William II smiled,

"Do you now know how disgusting people are when they half-talk?"

Oscar II: "..."

I feel like a fool.

William II looked at Solman and asked, "After the awards are over, can you help me make an appointment with Professor Lu?"
