Chapter 65 Kong Yingda's astonishment

Under everyone's questioning, Li Chunfeng showed his standard answer to other judges. When everyone saw that there were 23 chickens and 12 rabbits, the same as Li You's answer.

Li Chunfeng wrote down the result and handed it over to Wei Zheng.

This time, Wei Zheng did not breathe heavily and said directly: "The answer is that there are 23 chickens and 12 rabbits. The result is correct. Your Highness of the King of Qi won!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

Li Shimin ignored Cheng Yaojin and others' warm celebrations, and calculated with his fingers. Sure enough, the number of chickens and rabbits was in line with the number of legs and heads. He said, "There are so many."

With a "pop", someone shouted: "Imperial Doctor, hurry up and pass on the Imperial Doctor, Lord Zhao has fainted!" No need to ask, this person must have won the bid for the right Wanji.

Li Ke was stunned, Li Tai was a little dizzy, and Xiao Dongchang was stunned!

The expressions of the two little beauties became even more weird.

The Queen Yin was almost crying, and then she really cried. She felt a little confused, so she took out a piece of candy from her pocket and put it in her mouth. "Yes", she felt better.

Quan Wanji looked at Li You who was generous and looked at him chewing candy in his mouth. Suddenly he wanted to eat a piece, but he didn't! He felt uncomfortable in his mouth, but he felt sad in his heart.

Next, Wei Zheng announced that the competition would continue. The second subject is Ming Jing.

The Five Classics refer to the five Confucian classic works, namely "Book of Songs" ("Book of Songs", "Book of Books", "Book of Books", "Rites" ("Book of Rites", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn". During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the court officially declared these five books as classics, so it was called "Five Classics".

Kong Yingda's title is two parts. The first part is to examine Li You and Quan Wanji's familiarity with the Five Classics.

Everyone thinks that power will win in a lifetime.

When Li You was studying in a noble school, he was often punished for not being able to recite the book, and he was beaten by Kong Yingda no less than 100 times. Now, seeing Kong Yingda's majestic face, Li You immediately felt a pain in his hand.

The exam began, and Li You and Quan Wanji stood in front of the judges, waiting for Kong Yingda to set the questions.

Kong Yingda picked up a book of "Book of Books", turned to a page, recited a sentence, and then asked the two of them to follow up one sentence.

Kong Yingda recited: "Jizi. But the sky is cloudy and the people are living together, and I don't know that the Yi Lunar New Year is about to be discussed."

He stopped and said, "Qiuan Wanji, you can take it down first."

Quan Wanji said, "Ji Zi said, 'I heard that in the past, Gun stormed the flood and displayed the five elements.'"

Li You began to follow: "The emperor was furious and did not give the nine categories of "Hong Fan" and Yi Lun is... "

Kong Yingda originally thought that Li You would give up after not accepting a few words, but he didn't know that Li You had a science and technology library in his mind, so he would not make any mistakes. Quan Wanji was indeed powerful, and he just relied on memory and followed it word by word.

In this way, there is no way to decide the outcome in half a stick of incense.

Seeing that this was not a solution, Kong Yingda proposed to tie this competition.

Li You had been annoyed and agreed. Quan Wanji also felt that it was boring to continue like this, so he agreed.

Wei Zheng announced that the first competition between Ming Jing, the two tied.

Then Kong Yingda announced the second competition, letting the two match

The title is: On the Political Philosophy of "Shangshu·Hong Fan".

Quan Wanji started writing hard again, and Li You started eating candy again.

Regarding the research articles of "Shangshu Hong Fan", there are some in the library that Li You copied directly and sealed the volume in advance.

After Quan Wanji finished answering, Kong Yingda began to read Quan Wanji's articles. Quan Wanji was the top scholar in the end, and he did a very good job of writing an article, which won everyone's applause.

Next, it’s Li You’s turn to article.

Kong Yingda read the title and suddenly stopped. Then she stood there in a daze.

Li Ke, Li Tai and others were secretly happy, thinking that Li You's article was nonsense, so Kong Yingda couldn't continue to read it.

Seeing that Kong Yingda was silent, Li Shimin asked, "Mr. Kong..."

Before he could finish his words, Kong Yingda stood up suddenly. He was so excited that his old face turned red and he stammered: "Your Majesty, this, this..."

Li Shimin asked curiously, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Kong Yingda said, "Your Majesty, you should watch it yourself."

Wang De took the article from Kong Yingda in the past and presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it and saw it, and was stunned. His face was the same as Kong Yingda. His expression on his face changed in a variety of ways, doubt, surprise, surprise, and emotion. It was very exciting!

Li Shimin saw that there were some strange little dots on Li You’s article. However, because of these little dots, the whole article became extremely clear.

He suppressed his excitement and said, "Wang De, take it to everyone to pass it on."

Soon, several judges, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others, read Li You's article.

Li Shimin asked, "King Qi, what is this?"

The articles of the ancients did not have punctuation marks. The articles looked dense and made people feel like they were phobia.

Articles without punctuation marks are not only inconvenient to read, but also because of the different positions of sentences, the meaning of sentences is different, or even completely opposite.

Li You said: "This is called punctuation. In order to let everyone understand its importance, I will tell a small story."

After saying that, he told a story.

It is said that there is a talented man who wrote a New Year's auspicious saying for farmers: "This year, there is no wealth, there is no wealth, there is pig farming, there is a big rat, there is a plague, it is easy to make a wine jar, it is easy to make vinegar, there is no magic jar, there is no wealth, there is a big rat, there is a plague. It is easy to make a wine jar, there is a plague."

When the farmer heard this, he was so angry that he questioned the talented man. The talented man used a pen and punctuation and became: "This year is good, there is no bad luck, and wealth comes in. Pigs are big, rats are all plague, it is good to make wine jars, and vinegar is sour." The meaning is completely different. The farmers' anger not only disappears, but also laughs.

Li You's story is easy to understand and caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Kong Yingda respectfully saluted Li You and said, "Your Highness, King Qi, please teach me this punctuation mark. I will promote it to all the students of the Tang Dynasty."

Although Quan Wanji and those who did not see Li Youwen did not know what Li Shimin and Kong Yingda were talking about, they knew that Quan Wanji lost again when they saw their attitude towards Li You.

Wei Zheng took Li You's article and handed it to Quan Wanji. After reading it for a while, Quan Wanji was quite graceful and gave up.

There was an uproar in the hall.

The two little beauties had bright eyes, and they didn't know what it was.

Xiao Dongchang was amused and crying.

Xiao Gan looked at Li You, then at his granddaughter in the crowd, and his old face felt a fever.

He was a little angry and said, "Let's compare it to poetry."
