Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 118 Apologizing to the Five-Year-Old Child

"Ha ha……"

Wang Gui chuckled and said, "Does he still need me to insult him? He is an ignorant kid who doesn't know how to learn, who needs to insult him?"

what?
Hearing this, Li Ke was almost pissed off, and couldn't help but yell: "You old man..."

"shut up."

Cheng Chuli let out a loud roar, interrupted Li Ke, and said, "Senior brother, what did you teach you as a teacher? As a prince, you must know how to respect the old and love the young. That's right, what he said is right, I am indeed a An uneducated person."

what?
Everyone was shocked.

Li Ke's eyes widened, and he looked at Cheng Chuli with a puzzled expression.Teacher, I am venting my anger for you!How can you turn your elbows out?
Even Li Yuan and Li Er couldn't understand, this kid, why is he so humble today?
Wang Gui smiled: "Ignorant child, since you know that you are ignorant, how dare you stand on the podium and speak boldly and deceive the public?"

Cheng Chuli smiled and said: "Learning is endless, the Chinese culture is so vast, it is quite appropriate to call me ignorant with my little knowledge. However, as an ignorant person like me, I want to crush you Wang Gui , still no problem."

ah?Wang Gui, that is a great Confucian of the generation!It's not an exaggeration to describe it as being talented and well-educated, but this kid is brazenly saying that he wants to crush others?
Arrogant, too arrogant, arrogant, too arrogant.

When Cheng Chuli said this, everyone was even more shocked.

Li Er finally laughed, here he is, he really is here, it seems that this kid is going to step on someone again today.

Li Er trusts Wang Gui?

Hehe, stop joking.Rather than trusting him, it is more appropriate to say that he is afraid of him and has to reuse him.

Although the Taiyuan royal family is not as powerful as the Cui family.But it should not be underestimated. Without the support of the Wang family, how could he be able to sit firmly on the throne?
No way, this is the social structure at that time.Without the support of these aristocratic families, the emperor would fall at any time.

Otherwise, the person who had conspired to assassinate him back then would call him back for reuse.Do you think Li Er is really that generous?There is really no way!

Now, seeing Cheng Chuli provoking him.Li Er immediately adjusted his position, ready to watch the big show.

Sure enough, after hearing Cheng Chuli's words, Wang Gui immediately jumped up.

"Ignorant child, how dare you speak so brazenly, what do you know?"

Cheng Chuli: "Then what do you, Wang Gui, know?"

Wang Gui said: "Astronomy and geography, reciting poems and matching, difficult arithmetic, I am proficient in everything."

Cheng Chuli frowned, and said, "Just you? I don't believe it."

"what?"

As soon as Wang Gui saw Cheng Chuli's contemptuous eyes, he immediately became angry.

"Ignorant child, do you dare to compare?"

Cheng Chuli smiled slightly and said: "You are not qualified to compare with me. My students here have studied with me for more than a month, and I can crush you anytime I take out one."

"what?"

Wang Gui was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and said angrily: "Okay, today I will ask you a question to see if you can answer it. There are chickens and rabbits in the same cage today, with 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. Ask, How many chickens and rabbits are there?"

Wow!
The officials were in an uproar.

This is too ruthless, and the most difficult problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage is thrown out. Aren't you embarrassing others?
At this time, everyone looked at Cheng Chuli, wanting to see how he made a fool of himself.

Hello!Do you know if you are dead?He dared to provoke Wang Daru.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Cheng Chuli smiled slightly and said, "Wang Gui, you are too contemptuous of people, why are you asking such a simple question here?"

What?What did this kid say?The problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, he said it was simple.This question comes from "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". Up to now, they have been tied up by all the civil and military people in the dynasty, but they still can't solve it.When we got to this kid, he actually said it was simple?
This kid is no longer arrogant, he is simply ignorant.

Wang Gui was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and said angrily: "Ignorant boy, what are you talking about? If you have the ability, you can explain it to me!"

"Do you still need me to answer such a simple question? Really."

Cheng Chuli gave him a very contemptuous look, and said to the following: "Students, who among you can figure it out?"

"brush……"

Except for the children in Chengjia Village, the sons of the other princes, including Li Yuan and the two princes, all raised their hands.

what?
What does it mean?
Li Er and the officials he brought were all stunned.

What do these people mean by raising their hands?Proof that they all understand, right?

They couldn't solve this kind of eternal problem with so many great scholars. In this small classroom of Chengjia Village, there are so many people raising their hands to answer it?
Li Yuan raised his hand and they could understand it, Fang Yi raised his hand too much.But even the sons of those generals raised their hands to answer?This is too shocking.

who am I?
where am i?

Am I still in my original world?

At this moment, Li Er and the officials he brought were all suspicious of life.

Cheng Chuli nodded, rolled his name with great satisfaction and said, "Eldest senior brother, you should come!"

"is teacher."

Li Ke agreed, stood up proudly and said, "There are twelve rabbits and twenty-three chickens."

what?
That's the answer?
How can Wang Gui believe it?Angrily said: "You, nonsense."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Twelve rabbits and 23 chickens add up to exactly 35 heads and 94 feet? Why is Ke'er talking nonsense? Wang Gui, you don't understand?"

what?
who am I?
where am i?

Li Er and the officials he brought were stunned, it really was like this.That's right!
Wang Gui's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "How did you figure it out?"

Li Ke said proudly: "Assuming that 35 are chickens, there are 70 legs, which is 94 fewer than 24 legs. Because each rabbit is assumed to be a chicken, it has 2 fewer legs, so there are 24 rabbits in total. Divide by two equals twelve, then the chicken is 35 minus twelve equals 23. Doesn’t this solve the problem?”

ah?Is it that simple?
All the officials looked at Li Ke in shock.When did this king of Wu become so awesome?Even Li Er is the same.

Soon, Li Er's face was full of honor.This is his son Li Shimin.

This has been a difficult question for these great scholars for a lifetime, but it was finally answered by his son. Do you think you have a long face or not?
Li You immediately looked at Cheng Chuli with resentment on his face, why didn't you call my name for this kind of pretentious opportunity?I also want to show my face in front of my father!

Cheng Chuli pretended not to see it.Looking at Wang Gui, he asked, "Master Wang, don't make things difficult for me with questions that even my students can answer casually. Let's do something more profound!"

Provocative, blatantly provocative, irritating, so irritating.

"it is good."

Wang Gui was very unconvinced and said: "Today there are things that I don't know the number of. Three or three are two, five or five are three, seven or seven are two, how many things?"

This question comes from "Confucius Suanjing".

It means: I don’t know how much one number is. If there are three or three numbers, there will be two left at the end, for five or five numbers, there will be three left at the end, and for seven or seven numbers, there will be two left at the end. What is this number?
After Wang Gui asked, he looked at Cheng Chuli with a proud face.

Cheng Chuli looked at him speechlessly.Meaning, can't you come up with more difficult questions?You came up with such a simple question to test me, I am really embarrassed to win!
However, his expression instantly misunderstood.

The other officials all looked at Cheng Chuli with complacent faces, how about it, did you make a fool of yourself this time?
Wang Gui said triumphantly, "How is it? Can't you answer?"

Cheng Chuli was speechless.Said: "As for your question, I can't answer it? Among the students below me, whoever raises his hand, you can choose one at random, and he can answer it for you."

brush……

Everyone quickly raised their hands, the opportunity to pretend to be coercive is not to be missed!
what?
This time, it was the officials' turn to be confused again.

Li Er also looked at those people who raised their hands in disbelief.

Wang Gui looked at those people, and his eyes finally fell on Li You's face.

Who doesn't know that Li You is the most ignorant and trashy person, even if you beat Wang Gui to death, you don't believe he can answer this kind of problem.

So he pointed to Li You and said, "King Yan, why are you raising your hand? Can you also answer it?"

In one sentence, Li You was furious!He stood up angrily and said, "23, you have the nerve to ask such a simple question. You are a Confucian! Hmph."

Forehead?
The officials were speechless.Although they can figure out this question, it still takes a lot of thought.

It is absolutely impossible to be like Li You, who just gives the answer as soon as he asks the question.

Li Er was taken aback again, my God, are my two sons so powerful?
No, no, tomorrow, I have to send a few more sons over.

Li You is so proud, feeling everyone's admiring eyes, it feels like life has reached its peak!
Well, following the teacher is good.That's an opportunity to show your face anytime!
As for Wang Gui, he was completely dumbfounded at this moment.How is this possible, such a difficult question, how could they be able to answer it easily.

Cheng Chuli said: "Master Wang Gui, you asked us two questions, so it's our turn to ask them?"

Wang Gui was taken aback, smiled, and said, "What questions do you have that can make it difficult for me? What a joke, you can ask!"

"Ha ha……"

Cheng Chuli also smiled, gestured to Fang Yizhi with his chin, and said, "Where are your two pieces of iron! Just take out one and let Mr. Wang do the math."

Fang Yi stood up straight, turned around and ran away.

Immediately, Wang Gui smiled and said, "Is this your student? He scared me away when I heard my name, haha..."

Then, the civil servants standing beside Wang Gui also laughed.

"It's really funny, he asked Fang Yi to ask the question directly!"

"That's right, what kind of problem can a playboy have to make it hard for Mr. Wang?"

The officials talked cheerfully there, as if they had won.

Fang Xuanling's complexion suddenly turned ugly. If you underestimate his son, don't you just underestimate him as a father?

But soon, Fang Yizhi ran back, holding up the conical piece of iron and said: "Master Wang, please calculate the volume of this piece of iron."

Forehead?
All of a sudden, a group of officials couldn't laugh anymore.

As soon as Wang Gui stretched, Fang Yizhi sent the iron block to his hand, and said: "Master Wang, you don't need to really calculate its volume, you just need to tell the calculation method. That's it, simple enough right?"

what?
Wang Gui was dumbfounded when he took the iron block. How can I calculate its volume when this thing looks like this?

Cheng Chuli resolutely added: "Not only that, you civil servants count one by one, even if they are tied together, it doesn't matter, as long as you can tell the calculation method, I will lose."

Contempt, naked contempt.

However, Wang Gui held the iron block and looked at it over and over again, not knowing what to do.

Embarrassing, so embarrassing.

The old face was red to the neck.

This thing is not a brain teaser.If you understand it, you understand it. If you don’t understand it, it is impossible to figure out a way if you say you want to break your head.

Those officials who were still there to add insult to injury just now, saying that Fang Yi fled straight away, subconsciously took two steps back at this moment, and moved a little further away from Wang Gui.

Well, we are not with Wang Gui.

Fang Xuanling laughed, it turned out that my son didn't run away, but ran to get something!Judging by Wang Gui's expression, he basically knew the result.

hehe!It seems that my son is going to be in the limelight today.

Fang Xuanling's face was bright.

Seeing Wang Gui standing there stupidly, with a bewildered expression on his face.

Cheng Chuli didn't want to waste time, so he said, "Lord Wang, have you figured out a solution yet? I don't need you to figure it out, just tell me the solution. You don't need to think so long, do you? Will you hurry up? We still have to go to class." !"

Immediately, Wang Gui felt that everyone was looking at him with contempt.Then I couldn't hang on my face very quickly.

Annoyed and angry: "Cheng Chuli, how can you calculate the size of this thing when it grows like this? You are just messing around."

Hearing this, the people on Cheng Chuli's side immediately became angry.But their status is too low, so they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

However, their status is low, and there are those with high status.

Li Yuan stood up and snorted coldly: "Wang Gui, I think you are the one who is messing around? You scolded people as soon as you came, and then asked questions one after another. They answered you, but you were not convinced. They gave you questions. Come on! You said that people are messing around, is this the quality of your great Confucianism?"

This time, the officials retreated even further.I almost said that Wang Gui and I are not in the same group anymore.

Wang Gui's heart ached from being bullied.Li Shimin was very happy watching it.

Li Yuan stood up to speak, but Wang Gui didn't dare to pretend, but he was still very unconvinced and said: "Fang Yizhi, you ask me this question, can you give the answer yourself? Even you can't tell the answer yourself. , what are you talking nonsense about?"

Fang Yi said directly: "Master Wang, who told you that I don't know the answer? Let me tell you, not only do I know the answer, but there is more than one answer. Sir Wang, don't be brave, just say it if you know it, and admit defeat if you don't know it. Then apologize to our teacher."

Wang Gui became furious when he heard this, stared at Fang Yi fiercely and said, "What did you say? You asked me to apologize to him, a five-year-old boy?"
