Chapter 469 What is the meaning of the scriptures?
Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, has always been a special being in the court.
He was very holy, good at arithmetic, proficient in Buddhism, and good at medicine. The punishment he offered made Jing State no longer weak militarily, and had the power to fight back against the powerful Qi State.
But at the same time, for the first time in a century, he beat the prince in front of all the officials in the palace, and regarded ethics as nothing...
All along, officials in the DPRK had mixed praise and criticism for him, but this time, even the courtiers who were close to the King of Shu had to sincerely praise him, "Well done!"
Because the significance of this competition has long exceeded the competition itself.
After several defeats, the imperial court's prestige among the people has been reduced a lot. If we lose two games in a row in this kind of competition between countries, I am afraid that the people in the world will be disappointed with your majesty and the imperial court. This is also
What the people of Qi want to achieve.
It's better now. Li Xianzi slapped their conspiracy back with a very loud slap. Aren't you Qi people very good at writing poems? Now even he admits that he is far inferior to Li Xianzi. He even acted shamelessly when he left.
I asked Your Majesty for an original poem by Li Xianzi. Who will dare to say that Jingguo has no one in the future?
Outside the palace, there were many people standing in the distance waiting since dawn.
These people include old and young, men and women, and they are mainly young people. Confucian scholars account for the majority. There are students from Kyoto, and there are also people who came specially from neighboring prefectures and counties. Because what is going on in the palace today is not only
It is a competition between two people, and more importantly, a competition between countries. It is closely related to each of them.
We already lost a game yesterday, so today's test is even more important.
Most of the people had solemn expressions and did not talk to each other. They occasionally glanced in the direction of the palace entrance. After the competition, if the news is to be spread, it will definitely pass through here, and they will know it as soon as possible.
No one knew how long everyone had been waiting. At a certain moment, a heavy sound finally came from the front.
The guard at the palace gate opened the palace door, and hundreds of officials walked out.
They were in groups, talking and laughing, looking extremely relaxed.
When everyone waiting not far away saw this scene, their expressions were slightly startled, and then they seemed to realize something, and a hint of joy quickly appeared on their faces.
Not long after, several fast horses galloped out from the edge of the crowd, and the news of "The second competition, Jing Guo won" spread to all directions.
…
…
"How did you two know the third prince of Qi?" Li Mingzhu asked without moving her chopsticks, looking at Li Yi and Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was a little depressed and said: "How do we know that the guy we met in Qunyuyuan is the third prince of Qi State? I think he is quite good."
Princess Shouning took a big mouthful of rice. After hearing this, she raised her head, with a grain of rice stuck in the corner of her mouth, and asked curiously: "Where is Qunyuyuan? Is it fun? Take me with you next time."
Jin Wang Li Han didn't care about this. He finally got the opportunity to eat with them. If he didn't take the time to eat more, he didn't know when he would be able to eat it next time.
Li Yi thought that he had told Ruyi in the morning that he would go back for dinner, but now he was afraid that he would have to wait until the afternoon. While putting food in Xiao Yongning's bowl next to him, he looked at Li Mingzhu and said, "That's the third prince of Qi. Why did he do this?"
Come to Kyoto?"
Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "Although this third prince of Qi is ranked third, he is the most capable among all the princes of Qi. He has won the trust of the king of Qi and has a high prestige in the hearts of the people of Qi.
, this series of things against me, Jingguo, must have been planned by him."
Li Yi nodded. This third prince of Qi State indeed has his own merits.
Just because he brought a few people with the Qi State envoy to Jing State and forced the old emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to this point step by step, it would be enough to brag about his awesomeness for a lifetime when he goes back.
Not to mention anything else, if Li Han hadn't been lazy and read all the contents in the booklet, just the topic of chessboard and food would have made the old emperor and officials jump to the point where they had finished digging.
Thousands of years later, when middle school textbooks talk about geometric sequences, they may regard this incident as an interesting example. The name of the old emperor will definitely be more famous than the founding emperor of Jingguo.
Of course, the most terrifying thing about the third prince is not here. They are obviously hostile, but Li Yi doesn't have much hatred and hostility towards him. Is this the legendary charm of his personality?
If he becomes the king of Qi in the future, then Jingguo will be in danger. The idiot King of Shu only knows how to hold parties, and there is no comparison with that young man. If this continues, once the old emperor returns to the west, Jingguo will be in danger.
It is not far from destruction.
"Master Li, your Majesty has summoned you."
The reason why this guy Changde is disliked by others is because he always appears at the most inopportune time.
Li Yi put down his chopsticks, touched Yong Ning's head and said, "I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon."
Then he stood up and walked straight outside.
I have never seen him so straightforward and straightforward, and Chang De was in a daze for a moment.
"Let's go, why are you standing still?" Li Yi stood outside the door, looking back at Changde and urged.
…
…
"Master Li seems to be in a hurry this time." Chang De's voice is always sinister.
"What do you think His Majesty asked me to do this time?" Li Yi asked curiously.
Chang De said calmly: "How can we, the slaves, know His Majesty's thoughts?"
A eunuch who doesn't know how to read the emperor's thoughts is not a good eunuch. I don't know how Lao Chang, with his IQ, climbed to the position of chief chamberlain. Could it be that he went through the back door?
"Have you won the competition with the people of Qi? Your Majesty is happy and wants to reward you with something. I don't want the money this time. If you can have a duke, you can consider it..."
Chang De glanced at him and said, "Stop dreaming and go in."
When Li Yi walked into the Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Jing was not reviewing the memorials above, but stood in front of a table below, looking at something with interest.
"minister……"
"Okay, okay, there is no one else here..." Emperor Jing waved his hand, turned back to look at Li Yi and asked: "How did you come up with this poem in such a short time?"
Li Yi glanced at the desk and found that it was the first palindrome poem he had copied just now, and the second one was asked to leave by Zhao Xiuwen in front of all the officials.
Li Yi thought silently in his heart that the coffin board of Su Da must be pressed down, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know why. After seeing the title, this poem suddenly came to my mind..."
Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's all, even Zhao Xiuwen said that. Come to think of it, I still underestimated you."
"I promised you that if you can win this competition, I will allow you to take Yongning out of the palace for a month. You are not joking. When this matter with Qi is over, I will fulfill my promise."
The old emperor still kept his promise. This deal was a good deal. When Li Yi thought this, he heard him ask again: "Are you familiar with the meaning of the scriptures? If you are asked to debate the scriptures with Wenzong of Qi State,
How sure are you?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Your Majesty knows that I only know a little poetry, but I really don't know anything about the meaning of the classics. Otherwise, I wouldn't be just a scholar until now. Even the Prime Minister of Qin and so many great Confucians
Neither of them can do it, let alone me..."
Emperor Jing nodded, and he just asked casually. If you want to deeply understand the meaning of many scriptures, it will take at least more than ten years, and if you want to truly understand it, you will have to spend your whole life. If you even have the knowledge of Hongwen Hall,
If even a great scholar can't do it, no one can really win.
In short, this time, he can no longer place his hope on Li Yi.
"You go down first. The reason for letting Yongning leave the palace is to treat her illness. I will not use this as a condition. When this matter is over, I will reward you separately."
"I resign!"
Li Yi cupped his hands, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Emperor Jing looked at his leaving figure, a trace of thoughtfulness appeared on his face, and suddenly said: "Two months?"
Li Yi paused for a moment. After a moment, he turned around and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty just said..., what does it mean?"
