Chapter 141: Three Difficulties Hanlin

The sound of the gong stopped, and the sedan chair was carried to the center of the Hanlin Academy. The sedan chairman gently lowered the sedan chair, and a guard stepped forward to uncover the curtain of the sedan chair, and a handsome young man walked out of the sedan chair slowly.

Only then did the Hanlin people meet this long-famous young talented man. Zhu Youcheng was wearing a well-fitting red official robe, and the literary croaker on the patch was vividly embroidered, as if he was about to fly out of the patch. Zhu Youcheng looked like a crown of jade, and his eyes were also like black grapes, with wise light, and how cute it was.

Zhu Youcheng dusted his clothes, turned back, and helped another young man out of the sedan chair. The young man wore a flat crown and a python robe. Although he was young, he was full of the domineering spirit of an emperor. It was Zhu Youjian, the king of Xin.

A Hanlin sighed and said loudly: "Today, Hanlin Academy is going to be converted into a children's playground. One child after another who is still stinky. Have you come with a diapers? Don't make it dirty here."

King Xin's face darkened. The ruthless words of the Hanlin ruthlessly shattered the noble and elegant Hanlin Academy in his fantasy. It turned out that this place was just a small Ming officialdom, and there was also a harsh word that hurt people.

Zhu Youcheng said loudly: "If you have ambitions, you will live for a hundred years without ambitions. The Hanlin Academy is in a state of depression. How could anyone say that this is the cradle of the Ming Dynasty's chief assistant? I think it is clearly the Yangji Academy."

Ming Dynasty | The founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang worked as a beggar. He knew the difficulties of the poor. He built a nursing home in various prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty to adopt orphans and widows and poor people who were unable to work.

The Hanlin people couldn't help but blush. The weather was still cold at this time. The Hanlin Courtyard was a clean yamen again, and the heating facilities were insufficient. The Hanlin people inserted their hands into their sleeves and basked in the sun in the yard with their hands, like a widowed old man in the yard. In fact, Hanfu has a wide robe and big sleeves, and it is also elegant. Unlike Jiannu's clothing, their sleeves are very narrow. When they are warm, they look like beggars. However, the Hanlin people have ghosts in their hearts and pull their hands out of their sleeves.

Zhu Youcheng ignored the Hanlins' desires and turned around and knelt down to King Xin, greeted him, and shouted: "I am here to see King Xin Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui!"

King Xin was a little panicked. He always regarded Zhu Youcheng as his brother and never thought that Zhu Youcheng should bow to him. Zhu Youcheng and him seemed to have forgotten the distinction between superiority and inferiority in both open and secret, and never bowed to him. His heart sank "suddenly", and he felt that Zhu Youcheng seemed to have become very strange and wanted to abandon him and leave. However, seeing the gentle smile on Zhu Youcheng's face, he immediately let go and knew that Zhu Youcheng was forcing the Hanlins to salute him.

Sure enough, the Hanlin people knew that it was Xin Wang's arrival, and whether they were happy or not, they all knelt down to Xin Wang's ceremony of bowing and bowing to Xin Wang.

After the ceremony, the Hanlin people stood up. A Hanlin walked up and said, "Mr. Zhu is in charge of the Hanlin Academy and must be well-versed in history. There is a first couplet on the top and has not been found in the second couplet. I wonder if Mr. Zhu can give me advice?"

Zhu Youcheng was just about to refuse. Although he came from later generations and had seen many absolutes, they were all couplets that had been resolved. God knows how many broken pairs there are in the pile of ancient papers in history, and no one can match them yet. These Hanlins sat in the Hanlin Academy every day, thinking about these boring couplets if they were fine. If they were not corrected, it would be embarrassing. Unexpectedly, King Xin trusted him so much and took them all over for him: "Let me come on, Brother Cheng writes poetry in the world, are you afraid that you will break couplets a few words?"

Seeing that King Xin and Zhu Youcheng were so intimate, the Hanlin was even more jealous and said sourly: "Riding a strange horse, Zhang Changgong, Qinse and Pipa Eight Kings, the king is on the top, and the single ge fights."

This couplet ridicules Zhu Youcheng as a martial artist. Even if he is in love with the emperor, he will be suppressed by all the princes.

When Zhu Youcheng saw that King Xin helped him accept it, he complained, but he couldn't say that King Xin was not. However, when he heard this couplet, he felt relieved. This couplet was quite famous in later generations, and he didn't expect the source to be here.

Zhu Youcheng said loudly: "I pretend to be a human being, and I attacked the dragon's clothes, and the four little ghosts, ghosts and ghosts attacked the edge, and they took it together."

The Hanlins applauded, but immediately they were silent. Why did this sentence sound a bit like scolding them?

The Hanlins cannot seize the initiative in speaking and expressing a couplet, which does not mean that the couplet can be correct. Zhu Youcheng took advantage of the cold talk and said loudly: "It is impolite to come but not go. I also have a difficult question, please answer it."

The Hanlins were arrogant and well-educated, but they were afraid of Zhu Youcheng's problems and agreed arrogantly.

Zhu Youcheng had a sinister smile on his face. This problem came from ancient Greece. No one solved it for so many years. You people will suffer a great loss.

"One day, one day, the hero of Liangshan, the god-sporting Taibao Dai Zong, found Gao Qiu on a plain. The two were apart. Dai Zong ran wildly, trying to catch Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away. But Dai Zong never caught up with Gao Qiu..."

"Impossible, Shenxing Taibao is the fastest person in Shuibo Liangshan. How could he not be able to catch Gao Qiu?" a Hanlin shouted loudly.

"You think it takes a certain amount of time for Dai Zong to run to where Gao Qiu was standing just now. Gao Qiu would not wait for him in the same place. During this period, Gao Qiu ran forward for a while. When Dai Zong reached his current position, Gao Qiu ran forward for a while. This repeated, that is to say, no matter where Dai Zong ran, Gao Qiu would run forward a little. Therefore, Dai Zong will never catch up with Gao Qiu. Well, this is my point of view. You are all great scholars in the world, please refute me."

The Hanlin people whispered and discussed how to refute Zhu Youcheng.

Wang Chengen was very eye-catching. Seeing that the Hanlins seemed to have not finished discussing, he brought two Grand Master chairs from the room, one for King Xin and the other for Zhu Youcheng. Seeing that the chair was stolen by Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun took out Biluochun and made a cup of fragrant tea for each of them. Zhu Youcheng opened the lid of the cup, sniffed it deeply, then picked up the teacup, took a sip, and watched them leisurely discussing.

Half an hour passed, and a Hanlin saw that he could not break Zhu Youcheng's logic, so he said dejectedly: "Mr. Zhu, we have admitted defeat. Can you announce the answer?"

"Why?"

The Hanlin actually said with confidence: "You must tell me the answer to the question you asked."

"Oh, then you will take the provincial examination, the imperial examination, and the palace examination. Do you also need the examiner to tell you the answer? To be honest, only if the emperor or the prince asks me, I will tell them the answer. You - not worthy!"

Another Hanlin was about to say something, but Zhu Youcheng said again: "Look at your scratching eyes, it looks so funny. Forget it, just ask. There is a horsewoman who raised seventeen horses at home. After his death, he left a will to distribute the horses to his son. The eldest son had half of the first son, the second son had three parts, and the youngest son had one nine parts. He was not allowed to bleed or killed horses. How should he divide the horses?"

A Hanlin smiled and said, "I may not know about you if you have other problems, but I happened to hear this question by a marshal. It's very simple. If I lend him a horse, they will have eighteen horses. Half of the eldest son is nine horses, one third of the second son is six horses, and one ninth of the youngest son is two horses. Nine plus six and two, and I will get seventeen, and one more horse, and I will take it back."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Youcheng proudly.

After studying mathematics, Wang Xin learned the more he felt that Hanlin was talking very well. He couldn't help but look at Zhu Youcheng worriedly. The problem he had asked was easily solved by his opponent, which was quite embarrassing. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youcheng smiled faintly and uttered two words: "Wrong."

"Mr. Zhu, I thought you were both civil and military, and were a character. I didn't expect you to be a person who couldn't afford to lose. I misread you. This story has been circulating for a long time. Everyone has a good idea to solve this problem. Why do you say I was wrong?"

"Of course you were wrong. For example, I have a piece of cake and want to give you half. If you don't know how to divide it, add a piece of cake in. You take away half of it, and then half of it is left. That is, you borrow my cake and you take it away. Are you thinking this way of division right?"

That Hanlin Qiqi Ai Ai cannot answer.

"I know that if you don't tell the correct answer to this question today, you won't believe it. In fact, there are two solutions to this question. The first is very simple. Sell all the seventeen horses, distribute the sold silver in proportion, and take the extra silver back to the treasury. Then you must be wondering why the extra silver is produced. One-half plus one-third plus one-nine, a total of seventeen-eighth, that is, one-eighth is unowned. If that's the case, it means that the will left by the old man is wrong. The wrong will is an invalid will, and the old man is equivalent to not leaving a will. Therefore, the second method should be based on the "Da Ming Law". The old man's inheritance is divided equally by these three sons, each of whom gets five horses, and the remaining two horses are sold for the money."

When the Hanlin people saw that Zhu Youcheng was speaking in an orderly manner, they were all impressed.

Seeing that there were several Hanlins who seemed to have unfair expressions on their faces, Zhu Youcheng decided to shock them again, and said, "I have another problem to ask you."

A Hanlin hurriedly said, "I dare not ask for advice, let's discuss it together."

"What is the word "come" in three points of water? "

Zhong Hanlin answered a little uncertainly: "Lai?"

"Add the word "go" with three points of water, what is the word "go"?"

"Mr. Zhu, do you have this word?"

King Xin was fooled by Zhu Youcheng like this. Seeing someone fooled him like him, he laughed so hard that he curled up on the Grand Master's chair and said, "Idiot, chant the word 'fa', the 'fa' of magic."
