Ye Chang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down the city. Then he laughed. No wonder everyone was surprised at the same time. It turned out that three people at Lushun Academy stood up at the same time. They had finished solving seven questions. At this time, the three of them stood up at the same time, which meant that the remaining three questions were also solved. Lushun Academy rushed ahead to complete all the questions. The movements of the three also alarmed Qu Tanxun, who jumped He stood up with a look of disbelief: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible" "It's impossible, you didn't say it." Cai Chenguo smiled, avoided Qu Tanxun's extended hand, and handed the answer sheet directly to the clerk. The clerk took it over, looked at the numbers on it, then looked back at Qu Tanxun, and turned his hand slightly to let Qu Tanxun see the numbers on the paper. Qu Tanxun only glanced at it, and then his expression changed. This number is consistent with the answer to one of the three most difficult questions he asked. Looking at the question number before it, it is indeed that question. "Thishow is this possible? This is the secret of Tianzhu arithmetic. There are not many in the Tang Dynasty." People can solve it, how can you solve it?" He felt anxious and looked at the other two problem-solving papers. Sure enough, there were no mistakes in the answers written on the other two problem-solving papers. Qu Tanxun staggered and murmured: "This how is it possible?" "Haha." Cai Chenguo shook his head: "You still don't give up. What we have learned covers all schools, just arithmetic in Tianzhu, what does it mean? ?¡± After saying that, the three of them got dressed and walked out of the testing shed, not even waiting for the results to come out. "This do you think Lushun Academy has won?" Someone in the crowd of onlookers saw this and couldn't help but ask the people around them. "That's natural. Lushun Academy has completed ten questions, while Imperial College of Computer Science has only solved seven questions. Although it seems that the difference is not far, after all, Lushun Academy has solved it first." The man replied. Hearing what they said, Lu Yu shook his head. He also hoped that Lushun Academy would win, but the outcome of this competition was not so easy to judge. "It doesn't mean whoever completes it first wins. In this competition, the winner is still determined by the number of points scored. Each side has ten questions, and each question counts as ten points. As long as the Imperial College side gets more questions correct than the Academy side, even if the Academy gets more If you hand in your papers early, it will be the winner of the Imperial College," someone who knew the rules explained. "But looking at the appearance of these three people in the academy, they all seem to be doing everything right." "Haha, I always feel that I am right. As for whether it is true or false, I have to check the answer with the person who asked the question. Ah." When each party poses a question, they naturally have to come up with their answers for the final test. After Cai Chenguo and the others came out of the test shed, they bowed towards the city head and walked back to Ye Chang's entourage. On the top of the city, Ye Chang smiled and said: "Looking at their appearance, the test went well." "In less than an hour, I finished the questions I just don't know whether they are right or wrong. Wang Qing, let me get the answers and solutions." Come up." Li Longji did not respond directly to Ye Chang, but ordered. After a while, the clerk respectfully presented the answers prepared by Imperial College Yu and the solutions to the problems prepared by Lushun Academy. Li Longji picked up the magnifying glass and shook it, first finding the question number, and then looking for the answer. The two corresponded one to one. When he saw the first question, he nodded, and the second question, he nodded again. Ye Chang didn't care, he knew that all ten questions should be answered correctly. "For Cai Chenguo, Yue Xi and Yang Fan, the questions that the Tang Dynasty Imperial College of Computer Science can now offer are really relatively easy. The reason why it took them so long was probably because they had to check the calculations repeatedly. Otherwise, half an hour would be enough to hand in the paper. "Ah, Ye Qing really knows how to teach his disciples, and he's actually all right." Li Longji said with a smile after comparing all the numbers. He also called Ye Chang "Ye Qing". Ye Chang bowed and expressed his gratitude. Li Longji pondered for a while, and then said: "Since they are all correct, there is no need to continue this competition Ye Qing, summon the three of them to the city, I want "I'm grateful for the sage's kindness. However, I think there is no need to worry at this time and let all the students from the Imperial College finish the questions before talking." Ye Chang said. "Oh, why is that so?" "Although the students of the Imperial College of Computer Science are not as good as my disciples, they are still imperial students. They are not afraid of strong opponents, dare to challenge, and persevere to the end. They are also worthy of praise from the saints." Ye Chang looked at it squarely. Written by Li Longji: "Sometimes a competition is not just about winning and losing, but a win-win situation." "A win-win situation?" "If a small loss for a moment can make you courageous after knowing your shame, then the loser will also win." Just one sentence, let everyone win. I didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. In these people's minds, there is no concept that a loser can also win. In their view, a loss is a loss. How can a loser still win? ?When Ye Chang said this, he didn't go any further. Li Longji and others didn't think about it in detail. They just thought it was Ye Chang who was expressing his generous words. At this time, the onlookers started talking, and even the guards of Jingzhao Mansion could not suppress it. Qu Tanxun Yujian personally picked up the pen and paper, fiddled with the chips and started to calculate. More than a quarter of an hour later, he solved one of the questions, but when he was about to move towards another question, he was stopped by the guard. "Don't stop me, my time is precious," Qu Tanxun said with red eyes. There was some sympathy in the guard's eyes, but he still stopped him: "Assistant Qu, look at the copper kettle." Qu Tanxun looked at the copper kettle and saw that the water level had dropped below the eighth mark. One scale is a quarter of an hour, and eight quarters is an hour. Although Ye Chang marked each half-hour as one hour on the clock, clocks are not yet popular today. Even Li Longji, who owns seven clocks, has a problem with "hours". "This concept of time is not suitable either. "Thisthishow come the time has come? Did you add less water?" Qu Tanxun asked in a trembling voice. "Assistant teacher, the time has indeed come." Qu Tanxun sat down slumped and looked at the little official eagerly. The students in the arithmetic school were unwilling to stop the calculations in their hands, but the little official couldn't delay any longer and put the paper All put away. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the test booth became extremely depressing, even more tense than before the test began. "These people don't talk so full of words at the beginning, and they won't be like this now." Yang Fan clicked his tongue. Yue Xi nodded, with a trace of sympathy in his eyes, but Cai Chenguo's words next to him made all his sympathy disappear. . "When shouting at Ye Langjun, they should have thought that today's Langjun seems to be in trouble in the court, and they will jump out. If it is really just an academic dispute, it will be fine, but a group of rotten scholars also dare to get involved. "The imperial dispute" is indeed not worthy of sympathy. If you sympathize with them, who will sympathize with Ye Langjun? Qu Tanxun sat there for a while before he regained his breath. A student next to him came over and grabbed his arm without caring about being rude: "Assistant, we won't lose. They did it so fast, there must be something wrong." , We will not lose to them." A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in Qu Tanxun's heart. He tried to recall the answers handed over by the three people from Lushun Academy. He saw six or seven of them. Those were all correct, but There might be errors in the other three or four that he didn't see? Thinking of this, he stared at the Jingzhao Yin officials who were reviewing the answers. Those officials had actually reviewed the answers from Lushun Academy a long time ago, and the ones currently in school were from the School of Mathematics. It didn't take much time, about half a cup of tea. The official of Jingzhao Mansion raised his face with a somewhat expressionless expression: "Guozi Institute of Computer Science, solved eight questions in one hour, and all eight questions were correct. Lushun Academy, I solved ten questions in one hour, and all ten questions were correct. ""Boom"" Qu Tanxun felt such a sound suddenly ringing in his ears, which was even louder than the ringing in his ears when Ye Chang was slapped yesterday. His eyes were blurry and he could not see clearly. It took him a while before he realized that it was not his tinnitus, but the surrounding onlookers who were talking loudly at the same time. "I have long said that Ye Zhongcheng is a scholar of heaven and he is a master of contemporary knowledge. These pedantic people in the Imperial Academy of Arithmeticology dare to challenge him, but they are just bringing humiliation to themselves." "Just now you said that the Academy of Arithmetic Academy will win. "You're changing your tune now?" "Nonsense, when did I say that the School of Calculation was a sure winner? You don't even think about it. If the people in the School of Arithmetic had real skills, wouldn't they be like Ye Zhongcheng who went to the frontier to make contributions to the country? Why would they still stay in Luoyang? ? " "Well, it seems that the School of Arithmetic and Mathematical Sciences is in ruins They are all incompetent people. There are more than 20 people. Even their teaching assistants and doctors have personally participated in the battle, but they are still outclassed by three young men Tsk, no. "Learning has no skills, no learning has no skills." The sound of discussion reached his ears, and Qu Tanxun felt that his chest was so tight that he could hardly breathe. His face turned pale, and he was still shaky as he sat there. A student came to help him, but he suddenly broke away, stood up and said sternly: "I don't accept it." "What, what did he say?" "The people watching asked in surprise. "He said he still refuses to accept it. After losing like this, he still refuses to accept it. He is really a villain. " "Assistant teacher, the saint is above, so you cannot be disrespectful before the saint" Another doctor who came with them stepped forward to appease Qu Tanxun. Qu Tanxun pushed the doctor away, strode out, and then knelt down. He fell under the city gate and said: "Saint, sage, this time the Arithmetic School is not convinced." Li Longji was beaming at the excitement in the city. In vain, he saw Qu Tanxun kneeling below and shouting something. He looked left and right. Lookout: "Let him get up, what Ye Qing just said is, don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. If you can cheer up, know your shame and then be brave, you can still win." " He didn't hear what Qu Tanxun said and issued such an oral order. The people who were watching the excitement finally became quieter when they saw someone issuing an order at the top of the city. At this time, Qu Tanxun shouted "I don't accept it" again, and his voice came to Li In Longji¡¯s ears, the smile on Li Longji¡¯s faceThe intention suddenly disappeared. He originally had a bad impression of Qu Tanxun and felt that this person was too speculative. Now it seems that he is not only ignorant of advancement and retreat for the sake of speculation, but also can even be said to be ignorant of life and death. "If you have any dissatisfaction, ask him, this is in public." Then a eunuch asked in front of the city. Qu Tanxun raised his head under the city and shouted: "The ten questions asked by our arithmetic academy are all difficult problems that have been solved over the years. , even a well-educated person cannot solve all of these questions in one hour. Ye Chang has all the power in the world and has many assassins. He must have sent his thieves to steal our test papers last night and know the answers in advance. Today, these three mice are pretending to solve the problem, but in fact they are just taking out the answers stolen last night." Li Longji heard him yelling like this from below, and he was almost furious. Looking at Ye Chang again, standing there indifferent, even with a smile on his lips, and thinking about how just now Ye Chang clearly won, but still spoke for the School of Arithmetic and wanted to give them a step down, Li Longji had to say, Ye Chang really He has the demeanor of a famous minister, but the Qu Tanxun below is really a scoundrel. "You said Ye Qing sent someone to steal the answer. Do you have evidence?" "If the three of them can solve the answer, that's evidence." Li Longji shook his head slightly, his face turned cold, and he motioned to Gao Lishi, who then asked The two eunuchs nodded. The two eunuchs who were standing under the city now went over to clamp Qu Tanxun, one on the left and the other on the right. "Ah?" Qu Tanxun was shocked and realized that something was wrong. Wasn't it that the emperor was already disgusted with Ye Chang, so he ignored Ye Chang? He tried his best to toss here, wasn't it just to meet the emperor's wishes? If you testify like this, the emperor won't even ask? "Call all the students to come up, and also the three people from Lushun Academy. As for this guy, I don't want to see him anymore." Li Longji said in a low voice. Gao Lishi nodded and gestured to the two eunuchs. The two eunuchs understood and blocked Qu Tanxun's mouth and dragged him down. Ye Chang looked at the guy who disappeared like a dead dog, shook his head, then turned his eyes and saw Wang Welding. Wang Wen, who once sneaked up to the city, arrived at the bottom of the city again. It looked like he had just spoken to someone and was now turning back. Ye Chang frowned. This guy was working in collusion with Xing Ju and was planning a big conspiracy. Although he didn't know the specific content yet, the news from Bian Ping suggested that the matter would happen today. Looking at this guy's expression, he was filled with excitement. Anger, as if he was dissatisfied with something, just broke out. Ye Chang didn't pay much attention, and turned his eyes back to the city, looking at Li Longji. Li Longji was holding a hand stove, slightly tired. After all, he was old. After sitting here for so long, even if he had a stove and fur to protect him from the cold, his body felt a little sad. At this time, all the students from the Shu School and the Lushun Academy came to the top of the city. Li Longji looked at the dejected students in the arithmetic school, and then saw the heroic figures of Yue Xi and the others, and sighed secretly in his heart. The two parties look a bit like themselves and Ye Chang. Li Longji didn¡¯t want Ye Changsheng to win, but today¡¯s result was a slap in the face to him in a sense, and he had to swallow the knocked out teeth. After encouraging the students, Li Longji turned to Ye Xi and the others with a smile on his face: "I am most happy for you and other young talents. I wonder if you are willing to become an official and serve the Tang Dynasty? With your talents and talents, I am He must not hesitate to award officials and titles, and the ministers must also be granted the title of wife, shadow, son, ancestor, ancestor." The eyes of everyone in the city suddenly turned to Ye Chang. This was Li Longji who personally came to poach Ye Chang's corner. The talent that Ye Chang finally cultivated, Li Longji Promise to be rich and powerful, just poach them away
