The censor Xia Gongming was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that His Majesty would ask the censor who supervised all the officials a counting question.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent and cannot solve this problem."

"Prince, where are you? Didn't you usually say that you have read the books of the Guozijian seven or eight times? You may solve this problem?"

The prince's expression became tense, and he really wanted to show it in front of his father, but he really didn't understand why the general Yinma needed the shortest route and saved the most time. Isn't this sick?But he didn't dare to show it.

"Report to father, my son is incompetent." After speaking, he looked at the brothers around him, usually eager to compete with him for father's favor, but today they all stood firmly in the distance like wooden stakes, motionless.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say." Wu Guogong Wan Buhai stood up.

Li Zheng's face was filled with joy, could it be that Wan Buhai could figure out a problem that even a cadre of civil servants could not solve? After all, Wan Buhai is the boss of the general, so he should know better how to get the most time-saving way.

"Mr. Wu, please tell me quickly. Could it be that you have a solution?"

The corner of Wu Guogong Wan Buhai's mouth twitched: "Report to Your Majesty, I have no solution!"

Li Zheng frowned: "Oh? What would Wan Aiqing want to say?"

"Your Majesty, if you think you can't solve the problem, you solve the problem. It is obviously unjust for the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin to go to war without declaring it. How can there be a general who drinks horses in person? Those who are horses are all sent to guard, I think the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin just want to find fault, why don't I lead a group of guards to send them back to their hometown in the name of exterminating the bandits in the city."

Well, as expected of a military commander, he has a fiery temper. He didn't think about how to solve the problem, but planned to solve the person who caused the problem, so that the problem would be solved easily.

The words are correct, and the reason is also the same, but doing such a thing to the envoy seems to be not solving the problem, but setting off the swordsmanship between the two countries.

As soon as Wan Buhai finished speaking, a group of generals became restless.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think Duke Wu's words are justified. What kind of bullshit general drinks horses. Does the general drink horses himself?"

"Your Majesty, what Duke Wu said is correct. We are all ready to discuss the war. That general will go to drink horses. Isn't this dereliction of duty? The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin just want to find fault. There is nothing to say. I don't need Duke Wu to go out. I am willing to lead the guards." Get rid of them, and make sure it's silent."

Li Zheng's complexion darkened, he didn't expect that these generals planned to kill these envoys, although he really wanted to do so, what kind of shit generals drink horses, aren't they full?While preparing for the march, there is no time to let the horses go.

But I can only think about it, if I really want to agree with Wan Buhai's advice, I am afraid that the two countries will inevitably confront each other.

If the two armies are at war, they don't kill envoys, let alone exchange missions in peacetime.

Song Aiqing, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Ye Aiqing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Qin Aiqing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites: "Don't you have a solution?"

Song Yi looked at his colleagues around him in embarrassment and had to stand up: "Report to Your Majesty, this minister is incompetent."

"I am incompetent."

Li Zheng stood up from the dragon chair with a gloomy face: "Okay, great, among the civil officials, all of them are Confucian scholars who have read poetry and books, and all of them are officials selected by the top three Jinshi and the second best Jinshi. Do you often boast that you are very powerful? The question of a general drinking horses will embarrass all of you. What face do you have to stand above the court to share my worries? What worries do you share? I think you are all incompetent people .”

All the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down in fright: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"How many days did the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin give?"

Xu Hongdao tremblingly said: "Three days."

"A group of doctors from the Imperial College listened to the order, and you are limited to solve the problem within three days, otherwise..."

"His Majesty..........."

"Retreat."

Zhou Fei, the general manager of the inner court, immediately shook the floating dust: "Retire."

In the imperial study, Li Zheng put down his brush and folded a letter: "Zhou Fei, rush to Dangyang Academy day and night to hand the letter to the teacher."

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

"My dear, are these Jin people full of food? How can they walk the closest? You ask the horses! Besides, how many generals graze horses in person?"

Wen Renzheng ignored Zhou Fei, the chief executive, and stood beside him with an embarrassed expression on his face. When he saw the emperor's letter, he burst out with foul language.

"Duke Qian, according to His Majesty's order, we ran to death with seven horses and ran to the south of the Yangtze River overnight just to see if you have a solution?"

Wen Renzheng pulled his beard and looked dazed. He is proficient in counting and counting. He is one of the few literati who are proficient in the six arts of gentlemen in the Great Dragon Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not be able to directly shock everyone in Daoyahai Quit the flags and drums.

But the calculations he is proficient in are all topics above "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". This is really the first time he has seen such a weird topic about how to solve the general Yinma.

With a slap, Renzheng slapped the letter paper on the table: "The general asked the horse to drink water, so how come you get closer and ask the general directly? Is it a fucking human thing to embarrass us literati?"

Zhou Fei opened his mouth slightly. He is also one of the few people who are familiar with Wen Renzheng. After all, when Wen Renzheng was the imperial teacher of the dynasty, he had to deal with the chief executive who served the emperor. 30 years of friendship.

Wen Renzheng used to be angry no matter what, at most he could only curse at Bi Qi's mother, which would have stunned the courtiers' attention, but today he directly scolded his mother rudely.

Zhou Fei rubbed his nose and really wanted to ask Mr. Qian, what have you been through these years?

There is a saying that is true, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. After dealing with Young Master Liu for a long time, even a pure-hearted and upright old scholar like Wen Renzheng will inevitably be contaminated with some bad habits.

"What does he mean?"

Zhou Fei was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he was referring to the emperor. Throughout the entire Dragon Dynasty, there were only two people who dared to use him as the emperor. One was the emperor, Wen Renzheng, and the other was the queen mother.

But Zhou Fei didn't dare to say anything. It should be said that even the emperor would acquiesce in this title. The emperor owed too much to others, whether it was because of the world or selfishness.

"Duke Qian, what your Majesty means is that no matter what, we can't lose the face of the imperial court. After all, we are the kingdom of heaven. If the question of a few scholars from the vassal state mission is difficult, your majesty will definitely be furious."

Wen Renzheng nodded silently, apparently acquiescing to Zhou Fei's words: "That's right, you can't let Jin Kingdom Puxian Academy laugh at me that there is no one in the Dragon Dynasty. Give me two days, and I should be able to figure out how to find the shortest itinerary."

"Mr. Qian, it's not that we don't give Mr. Qian time to think. It's because the mission of the Kingdom of Jin gave us only three days. We only have half a day to stay in Jiangnan, so we must rush back to the capital immediately."

"long time?"

Zhou Fei nodded with a serious face.

"Is this a fucking thing done by a human? I can't figure it out!" The old scholar Wen Renzheng also became a little annoyed.

Zhou Fei looked puzzled: "Mr. Qian, Dangyang Academy claims to produce all the talents in the world. Is it possible that there are no masters in the academy who are proficient in arithmetic?"

Wen Renzheng picked up the letter again and looked at it, then shook his head: "If the old man can't figure it out, then no one in the whole academy can figure it out, but the old man needs time, half a day? Sigh!"

Zhou Fei understood the meaning of Wen Renzheng's sigh, and his face turned miserable: "Could it be that His Majesty really wants to lose face?"

"The only plan for now is to ask him to try it. The old man knows that he is talented in Four Books and Five Classics History Ziji, but he doesn't know how to calculate it. I have no idea, but I can only give it a try!"

"Oh? Does Mr. Qian know someone who is a master?"

"What's the matter? When you visited Erlong Mountain privately with him, you met Liu Mingzhi, the eldest son of the Jiangnan Liu family."

Zhou Fei raised his eyes: "Liu Daudao?"

Wen Renzheng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. He also heard about Liu Mingzhi's blatant resistance at the foot of the mountain. Mingzhi blatantly disobeyed the will, but also peeled off his skin if he did not die.
