Chapter 62: The Emperor's List

"Your Majesty, then I'll make the question." Muragu said without hesitation, "In my hometown, there is a magnificent pyramid..."

"Pyramid?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows and glanced at Muragu in surprise: "You are going to make that famous question? If this is the case, can they solve it?"

"Pyramid? I heard Balus say it, it looks like the word 'gold'." Wu Zetian nodded.

"... The pyramid is very high and cannot be measured, but I want to know how high it is." Mulagu had a stuttering on his neck and said to Wu Zetian: "I'll ask your Majesty to solve this problem for me."

"The pyramid is very high and cannot be measured. How can we know its height?" As soon as Muragu finished speaking, a sound of surprise sounded in the hall, and the ministers were all speechless.

It is already too high to measure, and you need to know its height. Isn’t this a contradiction?

"You are making things difficult." A minister immediately shouted: "This is something that is impossible."

Wu Zetian frowned and nodded, agreeing with the minister's words.

"More than a thousand years ago, there was a wise man in my hometown who measured how high the pyramid was." Muragu said proudly with his neck high.

"Take it seriously?" Some ministers didn't believe it.

"He really didn't lie. A wise man solved this problem more than a thousand years ago." Li Longji nodded and said in his heart.

"If Your Majesty admits defeat, I can tell Your Majesty how to solve this problem." Muragu's neck was raised high, like a crowing rooster.

"I have many talents in the country of Heaven, how could I care about a mere question?" Wu Zetian certainly would not admit defeat and said, "God master, you are proficient in numerology, do you have a clever plan?"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said to Mulagu: "I only heard of the pyramid, I don't know its shape. Can you draw it?"

"Yes." Muragu agreed very happily.

Wu Zetian ordered people to use the pen and ink, and Mulagu brought the pen in his hand. He was very skilled in using the brush and painted it on a good piece of paper. He had good painting skills and quickly drew the shape of a pyramid, which was vivid and vivid, even the Sphinx was lifelike.

"The Arab Empire was able to admire the Middle East because it was not fortunate, but for a wealth of talents." Li Longji saw it and sighed deeply.

"Shut me can do nothing." Di Renjie looked at the painting for a while and rushed to Wu Zetian's way.

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang said, where are you?"

Zhang Shuo read the painting for a while and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I can't understand it."

Zhang Shuoce said that he was the best in the world. He was a famous and talented man, and he couldn't understand it. This was quite surprising and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

"Song Jing, where are you?" Wu Zetian asked at Song Jing.

Song Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I am not good at learning, but I can't understand it."

Song Jing is also a capable minister, smart and capable, and has extraordinary talent and knowledge. He can't understand it, which makes the atmosphere in the palace even more solemn.

Wu Zetian continued to ask one by one, but no one could solve this problem and his eyebrows frowned.

She thought that there was nothing that could not be solved by the ministers in the court, but she did not expect that such a difficult problem would be.

"This question is a world-famous question, and it is actually very difficult to solve it. However, I can solve it." Li Longji said in his heart, and was about to stand up. At this moment, he only heard Wu Zetian say: "Go, call the Tai students here and let them solve it."

"Student? Well, let them solve it." Li Longji had no choice but to temporarily suppress the idea of ​​solving the problem.

Every dynasty will study "Taixue" and gather intelligent people to enroll. In modern terms, the Tiyu Academy is the "Royal College". There are many talents, and there may be capable people who can solve this problem.

"Yes."

"Isn't there any Taixue?"

The ministers felt relieved.

The ministers have high hopes for the Imperial Academy. Some people specialize in mathematical techniques, but there are many great masters. With them here, it is naturally not a problem.

Soon, a group of teachers and students from the Taixue School arrived. The oldest was already gray-haired, and the youngest was only fourteen or five years old. They came in and first greeted Wu Zetian, and then came to solve the problem.

These teachers and students of the Imperial Academy discussed the paintings and gathered their ideas and had unique insights. Unfortunately, they still couldn't solve this problem.

"Your Majesty, Shuchen and others are accused of learning." After an hour, the leading student was sweating profusely and apologized for Wu Zetian.

"You can't solve it either?" Wu Zetian frowned even tighter.

"Your Majesty, this is an unsolvable problem." The leading student said hurriedly.

"No solution? If it is no solution, how could the wise man in my hometown solve this problem?" Muragu disdained, and the corners of his mouth were cracked to his ears, and he said to Wu Zetian: "Your Majesty, is this what you said is full of talents? That's it."

brush!

Wu Zetian, who had always been indifferent to his emotions, suddenly turned red and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Muragu's words were like a sharp sword, stabbing into her heart, making her very angry.

"Shut up!" The ministers even shouted loudly.

"Get out." Wu Zetian waved his hand and shouted to the retired student.

"It's my turn." Li Longji was about to play.

"Oh." At this moment, Wu Zetian's eyes lit up and said, "Come on, Zhang Huang's list. Anyone who can solve this problem will be awarded the fifth rank of official position. If he already has an official position and exceeds the fifth rank, he will be promoted to the first rank."

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers agreed with this matter very much.

"Your Majesty, is your imperial list useful?" Muragu sneered: "If it doesn't work, it won't work. You can give up."

"Take a loss? A joke?" Is Wu Zetian the one who admits defeat? He sneered at Muragu: "I have many talents in the heavenly dynasty. Not only are there many talents in the court, but there are also many hidden masters in the mountains and forests. Just wait and see, and you will definitely solve your problem."

"Okay. Then I'll see how many capable hermits there are." Muragu shook his head, looking disdainful.

"This is too resolute, right? I won't give me a chance. Okay, just give me a list. I also want to see if there are any talented people who cannot be found in the world." Li Longji said in his heart, and had to temporarily suppress the idea of ​​solving the problem.

The official position is very attractive. In less than half an hour after the imperial list was posted, more than a dozen people came to solve the problem.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have been able to solve numbers by my fingers since I was a child. I will definitely be able to solve this problem."

"I am the best at measuring things. I can tell how tall, length and width it is when I glance."

These people patted their chests and promised that they were bragging.

However, after a while, everyone was sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, the people are incompetent."

Then, he ran away with a piss.

It took a whole day and failed to solve this problem. Wu Zetian ordered it and continued to solve this problem the next day.

The next day, no one could solve this problem.

In this way, many people came to solve the problem every day, but no one could solve the problem. Ten days later, no one would reveal the emperor's list again.

The mathematics and geometry in the Middle East are indeed unique, and this pyramid problem is really difficult, which forced the Tang people to be helpless.

The pyramid was built 3,500 years ago, and only wise people calculated its height by 2,600 years ago. This time span was nine hundred years, which shows how difficult it was.

"It's my turn." Li Longji was determined to end the farce.

brush!

Passing through Zhang Tie’s Emperor’s List, he tore off the Emperor’s List.

"Someone has revealed the emperor's list, go and report to Your Majesty." The soldiers guarding the emperor's list shouted and ran away like flying.

"Hmm? Someone has revealed the emperor's list?" Wu Zetian frowned and nodded with relief, and said, "I just said that the Celestial Empire is full of talents, and there will be no problem that cannot be solved. I will send an order, and I will ask this capable person to come and meet."

"No need, I'm here myself." As soon as Wu Zetian finished speaking, Li Longji came in like a meteor.

"Sanlang, what are you here to do?" Wu Zetian was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to solve the problem." Li Longji shook the emperor's list.
