Along the way, Su Wen knocked on the side, and finally figured out that this dynasty implements the system of the council of the king, the emperor is elected by the council of the king, and the emperor's position is rotated among the eight royal families, until the end of his death, but he does not set up the prince, and this old Prince Zheng's family, although the current emperor is the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix, but it is separated by five suits. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He was the personal choice of Prince Duan, and Su Wen was still hesitating to follow Mo Yu over, but he couldn't stand Duolong'a and Hu Jinbao's one-on-one conversation, so the four of them sat in Mo Yu's sedan chair and went straight to King Zheng's mansion.

The regulations of Prince Zheng's Mansion are more spacious than Prince Duan's Mansion, and Mo Yu seems to have been walking around with Prince Zheng's Mansion a lot, so there is no need to report it, and the little servants in the palace brought them in.

"Look, that's the Xi Shi Huansha lantern, the Nazha sea lantern, and the Guanyin water lantern, all of which are made by the prince himself." Mo Yu pointed to the long string of lanterns hanging under the porch as he walked, "Prince Zheng is a connoisseur of lantern making." ”

Under the corridor, there are many people standing together, but they are all wearing civilian clothes, some are talking and laughing affectionately, some are appreciating lanterns, some are guessing lantern riddles, and the atmosphere is very lively.

More than a dozen small guys are holding a bunch of fireworks, some are mice, some are setting off small flying fires, and some are watching the drill monkeys, which are full of smoke and strange light, and they are also interesting.

When I arrived in the lobby, there were already more than a dozen tables on the table, but there were only four dishes on each table, it seemed to be a flowing water seat, and I changed it while eating, Su Wen took a closer look, but there were no acquaintances I knew, after all, I had only been in this world for a few days.

He looked at this group of people, there were more than 200 people, some chanted poems and orders, and some ate nonsense, it seems that in this group of people, there are also different grades, all kinds of people.

Mo Yu saw him looking around, knowing that he was coming for the first time, and introduced with a smile, "Every year on the fourteenth night, the emperor will go out of the palace to the house of the military and political minister of the imperial court to show his honor. Tonight is Prince Zheng's family banquet, you see, all the officials who came were from the six departments, of course, there were also those who came to fight the autumn breeze, eating and drinking, you see, those few are serious yellow belts, and those are a few foreheads,...... Those few are from the Hanlin Academy, and the old man is Zhuang Shimin, the master of the academy, and the one sitting next to him is Yuan Mei, a talented man today......"

Every year on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, Prince Zheng's Yintang will call the servants who are officials in Beijing, and some ministers who are good with each other, and set up more than 20 tables of flowing water seats.

He was the chief minister of the king, and he was deeply rooted in the imperial court, and there were many people who came, and there were many people like Su Wen, who were brought by friends to make fun temporarily.

"Here, Prince Zheng is here." Mo Yu pointed to the front, only to see a white-bearded old man coming, he had a long face and white beard, a smile on his face, very easy-going, whether he knew him or not, whether he was an official or a small official, he personally greeted him, holding hands and talking, making people feel like a spring breeze and comforting all over his body.

Su Wen turned around to take a look, but he couldn't find Duolonga and Hu Jinbao, and after searching carefully, the two of them had already crowded on a table and began to eat.

None of the people at the table moved their chopsticks, and everyone looked at the two gobbling young men like countrymen.

"You two eat slowly, this is the prince's mansion, can you save me some face?" Suwen nodded at Dorona's head.

"Second brother, come and taste it, it's so delicious!" Duolong'a was already full of oil, he picked up a piece of fish and meat, stretched out his chopsticks and was about to hand it to Su Wen.

Su Wen didn't dislike it, he ate it in his mouth, and it melted in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, it's too good, it's different, well, keep it for my brother." He picked up a peach, "Well, this one is delicious, Dolonga, go, find a cloth bag, put a few back." Hey, Jinbao, you foodie, you leave some ...... for Lao Tzu" Seeing Hu Jinbao's chopsticks falling on the fish like a torrential rain, Su Wen knocked his chopsticks off.

Hu Jinbao smiled innocently, didn't care about picking up chopsticks, and immediately pushed a plate of fish to Su Wen, which caused the other people at the table to look sideways......

On the other side, Mo Yu saw Yintang approaching, and hurriedly went up to salute, "Say hello to the prince." ”

"Xiao Moyu, when will you return to Beijing, how are your Ama bodies?" Yin Tang pulled up Mo Yu and asked kindly, how could there be any trace of the prince's style in that frame, but like an ordinary old scholar of Sanjia Village, "Did I let you give you the old mountain ginseng that Ama carried?" Although it is not enough to eat, I will ask the housekeeper to send a few more catties. ”

"Back to the prince's words, I personally handed over the ginseng to Amma, and he thanked you for thinking about it in your busy schedule......"

Su Wen was eating and watching, and he found that in the end, he was a child of the family, Mo Yu was very good at talking, and he was familiar with this kind of high-level human relations, and he knew it well.

The two were talking, and an announcement sounded outside the door, "Prince Duan has arrived!" ”

Prince Duan, he came in person? Su Wen said secretly, it seems that his speculation is unfounded.

He was looking at Prince Duan, but suddenly a person walked behind his back, patted him on the back, and he turned his head to see that it was Amma.

Amma's face was kind and surprised, "Second brother, why did you come?" ”

Su Wen looked at Mo Yu, "I went to see the lantern just now, this is not just empty." ”

"Go, come to my table! Good dim sum over there! Ama said as he pulled Su Wen to a seat, "Hey, let go, let go, let go, this is my second boy, and I'm going to go to Xian'an Palace to learn in the next year!" He smiled like a flower blooming on his face, "Hey, leave me a piece, come, come, give it to my son!" He smiled and picked up a piece of palace dot and handed it to Su Wen.

In an instant, Su Wen's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, this broken flag man Amma, must be here to fight the autumn wind tonight, and it is unknown if others bring it in, there is something delicious to eat, and he still thinks about himself.

"What's wrong with you?" Amma saw him rubbing the corners of his eyes.

"It's windy, squinting." He turned away, trying to disguise himself.

"Hehe, Fuqing, this is your second son? Hehe, don't say I haven't heard of it, he can go to Xian'an Palace, but I don't believe it. The people at the table chimed in.

"Why don't you believe it?" Ama couldn't care about the crystal elbow anymore, so he argued with others, "What Prince Duan promised himself, will there be a fake?" ”

"I heard that those who can enter Xian'an Palace are all talented people in the Eight Banners, your son,...... Fuqing, forget it, hehe......" A voice sounded.

"That's right, hehe, he is studying in Zhengbaiqi, and his reputation has resounded throughout the inner city, hehe, he really wants to go to Xian'an Palace, maybe, Beijing City can't hold him!" Another laughed.

"I,...... I, when did I Fuqing lie, how about we bet? If I lose, I'll lose my pair of blue indigo to him! Plus four more gnats! ”

"Success, bet on it!"

"Hehe, Fuqing, you're doomed!"

"No, Fuqing, your pair of treasures cost two hundred taels of silver, and that small jar alone is sixty taels of silver, and the cage is worth at least two hundred taels, right? ……”

Su Wen stood silently to the side at first, he knew that for these flag people who take fun as their job and enjoyment as their work, a birdcage and a pair of gnats may be their lifelong pursuit and life's career, he looked at Ama who was still betting with a person, and said with a smile, "This lord, are you wearing pants today?" ”

"I'm here for dinner, why do you bring your pants?" The man was puzzled.

"I'm holding you so badly that you have to go out barefoot!" Su Wen smiled, and the man opened his mouth to count down, but he didn't prevent Su Wen from being even quicker, and when a piece of palace point was impartial and entered his mouth, he choked and couldn't speak.

"Ahem", with a few coughs from the clear official faction, the hall suddenly fell silent.

"Today's festival is a festive day, you don't have to be formal, there is no end to the rules, hehe, I salute everyone with a glass of wine, everyone is free, feel free." It was Prince Zheng Yintang who spoke.

Everyone raised their glasses, "Thank you for the banquet!" Phrases like that immediately filled my ears.

Yin Tang also raised his glass, but only took a sip, "It's not interesting to sit and drink." As soon as he clapped his hands, a team of beauties walked out of the curtain on both sides, all dressed in flag costumes, waving five strings, all of them were immortals, and the hall was suddenly quiet, but listening to the singer's singing voice was like piercing the clouds and cracking silk, it was clear and beautiful.

Su Wen's eyes widened, this is the life of the prince!

Everyone was immersed in singing and dancing, and even Mo Yu shook his head and listened with relish.

After singing for a while, Yin Tang smiled again, "Everyone, are you having fun?" ”

When he asked, a cadre of officials rushed to answer it.

"Hehe, not happy? In the morning pilgrimage, the monarch and the minister joined the poem, and the right one was Bailiang style...... "He seemed to be thoughtful, looking at Prince Duan Hongyi sitting on one side."

Hongyi is still that calm as water, he smiled, "I'm afraid that all of you sitting here are masters of poetry, every year, it seems to be a bit cliché, today's feast, the emperor has a question, I want to break my head, but I don't have a clue, how about this question to be answered?" ”

"Today's Sacred Heart Huicong," Yin Tang arched his hand, "Bright and bright, dabbling in hundreds of schools, ordinary people, etc., I am afraid that they may not be able to answer...... Come on, take two gold ingots and use them as lottery heads! ”

In the blink of an eye, two yellow and clear gold ingots were placed on the table, each fifty quantities, shining under the color lanterns.

Everyone's eyes also turned to the two gold ingots, some couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and some people's eyes burned.

"Then, please ask the prince to come up with the question." Yin Tang looked at everyone's impatient gaze, stroked his beard, and pushed the boat down the river, his voice was calm, and there was a faint sound of gold and stone.

Yihong stood up and cleared his throat, "Then I'll have a problem,......, well, Shang Gao's theorem is recorded in the "Zhou Ji Sutra", Shang Gao said, '... Therefore, the folding moment, the hook wide three, the stock repair four, the meridian five. "It is also said in the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "The Pythagorean multiplies each other, and divides it by the square, that is, the string", and the emperor's title is ,......"

He looked at the somewhat ignorant crowd, "If the one set is the product, ask for the Pythagorean string." ”

After he finished speaking, he sat down gently and looked at everyone with a smile.

Everyone was a little stunned, and some people were even like falling into the clouds, originally thinking that it was the Four Books and Five Classics, or chanting poems against each other, but what they didn't expect was an arithmetic.

Wei Ying, the secretary of the ministry, said with a smile, "Today's emperor is talented and profound, and our courtiers are beyond the reach of the dust, who is good at arithmetic, you can try to solve it." ”

The Ministry of Works, Manshangshu Qi Letai, also smiled, "The Ministry of Industry also has good calculations, whether Qin Tianjian has someone or not, you can try to solve it." ”

Yin Tang was also a little stunned, his city was deep, but he didn't speak, but secretly thought about the intention of King Duan, this gentle and elegant virtuous king, he felt that there was always something that he couldn't figure out.

Su Wen was originally a little stunned, but immediately understood that this was the Pythagorean theorem of later generations, which a junior high school student could solve, he slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, but heard Mo Yu say, "Today's saint is talented, rare in the world, often in the Qianqing Palace to teach in person, explaining astronomy, arithmetic, but the people who listen to the lectures are the ministers of the dynasty, the dragon son and the phoenix grandson, the Mengyang Zhai of Changchun Garden, that is the place where the emperor studies arithmetic, and those who can enter are the first products of the dynasty, the children of the royal family." ”

"Hehe, who will solve it, it's a pity, those two gold ingots!" Duolonga's eyes lit up, staring straight at the yellow colorful head on the table.

Although Hu Jinbao didn't speak, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and it seemed that he was also quite tempted by Yuanbao.

"The minister will understand, and the minister will understand." Before he could raise his hand, an old man staggered from behind, and he almost fell down because of his excitement, but Amma helped him, and he didn't even have time to say a word of thanks, so he rushed forward.

"It's Qi Supervisor," the person who came was Qi Yuanxie, the Qintian Supervisor, and Yin Tang smiled, "Then let's talk about it quickly." ”

Qi Yuanxie took a breath, just stood still, maybe he could show his face in front of everyone, he was very excited, Luo Luo talked a lot, Duanwang Hongyi kept frowning, although Yin Tang didn't understand, but he didn't interrupt him, he smiled on his face, humbly, and listened quietly.

"It seems to be a fraction of a second," after Qi Yuanxie finished chattering, Hongyi patted the table, "The prison is going back to think about it again, and then answering, I don't know." He said politely, and actually poured Qi Yuanxie a glass of wine himself.

When everyone heard this, they all knew that he was giving Qi Yuanxiemao face.

Yin Tang looked at Qi Yuanxie, who was swollen with a red face, and said with a smile, "The prison is about to be solved, and if you can do this, no one can do it, come on, take two gold bills and give them to Lord Qi." ”

Someone immediately sent two small gold ingots, Yin Tang actually stood up in person and handed them to Qi Yuanxie, Qi Yuanxie looked grateful, and Yin Tang still encouraged himself with his fists.

"It's buying people's hearts." Su Wen said secretly. He looked at Hongyi, and Hongyi's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

"Who else would like to give it a try? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Hongyi smiled, his eyes were kind, his demeanor was elegant, and he was admirable.

Everyone in the audience looked at each other, no one responded, although the two people were hot, but no one dared to step forward.

"Lord Wang, I'll try!" Su Wen wiped his mouth and stepped forward.

Duolong's eyes immediately widened, and Hu Jinbao's mouth also opened wide.

"Come back, come back quickly." Mo Yu was so anxious that his face turned white, although Prince Zheng treated people peacefully, but from Amma's mouth, he knew the true colors of Prince Zheng, when he was young, he was also a murderous master without blinking, turning his hands into clouds, covering his hands for rain, the court stood tall for decades, jumping in front of his eyes, there was absolutely no good fruit to eat.
