The man surnamed Han still couldn't make up his mind.
"Although what you say is reasonable, it is still impossible for me, Han Qi, to break this rule and prove the way of making a big man with my flesh and blood body." After refusing, Han Qi clasped his hands and looked blankly into the distance.
, many senior Mohists seemed to appear in the sky, casting charitable glances at him.
The ancestors were watching him, and accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. He could not and could not bear to drag Momen into the situation and suffer the pain of being hunted again.
"Brother Chunfeng, go ahead. When the people need Momen, I will take action."
Li Chunfeng looked at this stubborn guy and sighed.
"Hey, you..."
Inside the Literature Museum.
When Lu Dunxin received the list of registrations for the two subjects, he was so excited that he almost fell off his wicker chair. He didn't even have time to drink the spring tea that was handed to his mouth. He took the list and ran tremblingly towards the side hall where Chu Suiliang handled matters.
"Brother Chu, I'm so happy."
Chu Suiliang was discussing with Lu Qingye about the Imperial College and the Literature Museum examination room. When he heard Lu Dunxin's voice, he frowned and asked, "I have never seen Dunxin lose his temper like this. What kind of happy event is this?"
Lu Dunxin handed the list to Chu Suiliang while gasping for breath. After Chu Suiliang took it, he looked at the few names on the paper and became more and more confused.
"There are only so many people here?"
He was very puzzled. How could these few applicants make Lu Dunxin like this?
Lu Qingye was equally curious. When he leaned over and took a closer look, he found Li Chunfeng's name on it.
"Brother Chu, you have made a lot of money this time. Even Li Chunfeng came to participate in this imperial examination. Your Majesty is like a treasure."
Chu Suiliang froze and looked at the list again: "Are you talking about Li Chunfeng, who knows the astronomical calendar, calculates yin and yang, and is known as the best in the world in numeracy?"
"Who else besides him?"
After confirming that it was that person, Chu Suiliang also became excited.
In the entire Han Dynasty, no one can surpass His Majesty when it comes to the art of war, and when it comes to numeracy, there are probably not many who can surpass Li Chunfeng. Your Majesty has had many fantastic ideas over the years, and he may be quite accomplished in numeracy, but he has never shown it.
, if Your Majesty is really good at mathematics, in Chu Suiliang's opinion, he must be on par with Li Chunfeng.
Before that, let's accept Li Chunfeng for Your Majesty.
As he said, Chu Suiliang immediately arranged for his men to prepare a carriage. Li Chunfeng's residence was on the list. He wanted to meet with him in advance before the scientific examination to show that the man valued him.
The carriages were moving slowly, and the two cities in Chang'an were prosperous in their own way. In addition, students from other places continued to come to Beijing, and Chang'an, which was already crowded, became even more lively. Goods trading, music and acrobatics were performed in the two cities in turn, which was quite the style of the prosperous times.
After many twists and turns, Chu Suiliang's carriage arrived at an inn near the edge of the city wall in Chang'an. This inn was not a designated school building of the Literature Museum. It was probably because Li Chunfeng entered the city in a low profile and did not want to attract attention.
Entering the inn, Chu Suiliang quickly asked the shopkeeper about Li Chunfeng's whereabouts.
"Shopkeeper, may I ask if Li Chunfeng lives here? I am an old acquaintance of him. An old friend came to Beijing, so I came here to visit." Chu Suiliang found an excuse to talk to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was also a cheerful person and answered him immediately.
.
"Oh, it turns out he is Mr. Li's old friend. Let me take a look." He glanced at the sun outside the door and found that it was not yet noon, so he said: "After Mr. Li moved in, he would go out to Qingli to tell fortunes near the city gate. He would wait until about evening.
We will return to the inn, sir, you can go and have a look near the city gate, maybe you can meet him."
"Thank you." After leaving dozens of coins, Chu Suiliang abandoned his carriage and walked. The city gate was not far from here, and walking showed his sincerity, so he made this decision.
When we got near the city gate, there was indeed a thin man with a beard who had set up a small wooden table with a road flag "Calculating the Wuyi Gua" on the ground. A large group of people gathered around him and were asking for advice.
"Li Xianchang, I've been encountering bad luck lately. Every time I go home, I'm either chased by a dog or hit by something. It's very strange. Please help me do the math. It's best if I can get rid of the bad luck."
"Li Xianchang, there was a thief at home a few days ago. Most of the grain I hid in the jars was stolen. I have no trace of it to this day. I am worried to death. That is a reserve for next spring plowing."
"Li Xianchang, I have fallen in love with a woman. Every time I give her beautiful gifts during the festival, she accepts them without fail. But when I invite her out for shopping, she refuses. Can you help me figure it out?
Do you think I am destined to be with her?"
Li Chunfeng, who was in the center of the crowd, coughed lightly, half-closed his eyes and kept pinching his fingers. After a while, he opened his eyes, with a look that seemed to see everything.
"Old man Li, every time you come home, does your wife have sweat stains on her forehead, her hair is loose, and the tables, chairs and benches are messy near the door?"
The person who asked nodded frequently.
Li Chunfeng said: "I already know, but the secret of this matter must not be leaked. In the past few days, you only need to go out early, keep calm after going out, quietly return to the house and hide it. Wait for a while and you will know the reason."
"Thank you, Immortal Li."
Li Chunfeng then turned to Mrs. He, whose home was robbed: "As for the stolen grain from Mrs. He's house, although I haven't calculated where it went, I have calculated that someone knows the whereabouts of the grain."
Mrs. He: "Great, who knows?"
"Your husband."
Mrs. He was shocked at first, and then became furious: "How dare you, a heartless man, secretly sell seed grain to a gambling house again, let's see if I don't tear his mouth open when I get back!"
After the angry Mrs. He left, Li Chunfeng turned to the man who asked about marriage: "Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless. Although concentration is good, don't hang yourself on a tree."
The man looked gloomy and left sadly.
Even when calculating multiple predictions, Li Chunfeng was able to accurately tell the reasons, causing everyone to gasp in surprise one after another.
It was not until near noon that everyone dispersed, and Chu Suiliang stepped forward to salute.
"Mr. Li, you are polite."
Li Chunfeng looked at Chu Suiliang and smiled: "I guess this is the director of the Literature Museum and the examiner of this year's imperial examination, Lord Chu Suiliang, right?"
After Chu Suiliang went through the series of fortune-telling processes just now, he no longer had any doubts about Li Chunfeng's ability: "Mr. Li really has perfect fortune-telling. He can figure out who I am just based on my face, which is admirable."
Li Chunfeng waved his hand and said: "It's not that mysterious. Since Mr. Chu is the chief official of the imperial examination appointed by His Majesty, I have naturally found opportunities to observe you. It is very normal to be able to recognize you here. As for the fortune-telling just now, it is not an exhaustive plan.
It’s all just observation.”
"Oh?" Hearing what he said, Chu Suiliang became interested. If it is said that hexagrams are used to reason, metaphysics is not completely credible. But if Li Chunfeng can draw conclusions based entirely on observation, he can be regarded as a great talent:
"I wonder what method you used, sir, to reveal the secret?"
"It's very simple. Even if I don't explain it, Master Chu will be able to figure out the principle."
